Re: [ANN] [ASIC-RESISTANT] UltraCoin (UTC) - Newly Launched
Some of the things that I think bumface/ziggy needs to do from my point of view:
1. Explain more about the N-factor. MANY people does not know about this.
We need to know the dates of when the N-factor changes for UTC and what that implies.
It's a BIG part of UTC so I don't understand how this is not explained on the OP from day 1.
bumface, you told me you'll speak to ziggy about this 3 days ago? What happened?

I'll post my N-factor timetable again, derived from the code in https://github.com/ziggy909/ultracoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp starting at line 994. I made a little javascript loop with the same calculations starting with Ultracoins sj-time.
Code:
var sjtime = 1388361600;
var Ntime;
var l = 0;
var seconds = 0;
var s = 0;
var n = 0;
var N = 0;
var last = 8; // no output until N=9
while (seconds < 12884901888)
{
seconds += 1;
s = seconds;
l = 0;
n = 0;
N = 0;
while ((s >> 1) > 3)
{
l += 1;
s >>= 1;
}
s &= 3;
n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;
if (n < 0) n = 0;
N = Math.floor(n);
if (N > last)
{
last = N;
Ntime = new Date(sjtime*1000 + seconds*1000);
//print("N-Factor :" + N + " significant digits :" + l + " leftovers :" + s + " raw N :" + n + " Seconds from start :" + seconds);
print("N-Factor :" + N + " Date :" + Ntime.toUTCString());
}
}
var Ntime;
var l = 0;
var seconds = 0;
var s = 0;
var n = 0;
var N = 0;
var last = 8; // no output until N=9
while (seconds < 12884901888)
{
seconds += 1;
s = seconds;
l = 0;
n = 0;
N = 0;
while ((s >> 1) > 3)
{
l += 1;
s >>= 1;
}
s &= 3;
n = (l * 170 + s * 25 - 2320) / 100;
if (n < 0) n = 0;
N = Math.floor(n);
if (N > last)
{
last = N;
Ntime = new Date(sjtime*1000 + seconds*1000);
//print("N-Factor :" + N + " significant digits :" + l + " leftovers :" + s + " raw N :" + n + " Seconds from start :" + seconds);
print("N-Factor :" + N + " Date :" + Ntime.toUTCString());
}
}
This is the output (i used a javascript console bookmarklet in firefox, it shut down the script before it got past N-factor 17)

The next N-factor increase should be on the 28th of this month.
good work thanks,
I was starting to think about swapping coins,
as my wattage vs coins generated are no longer paying off
how ever I no longer have accurate way of knowing what power my current consumption is as its very hot weather and most GPU's idling under 500 mhz @ 70+ deg )
71.0 c 100% 260 Kh/s 103263 / 2266 2.15% 290 Series 85% 654.47 Mhz
70.0 c 100% 200 Kh/s 80850 / 1626 1.97% 290 Series 85% 516.15 Mhz
test rig on watt meter 460 kh/s 310 watts ( excluding PC power GPU's only )
full load is around 800 watts total , I need about 2 coins per kw watt to break even
78.0 c 100% 310 Kh/s 121402 / 5097 4.03% 290 Series 85% 840 Mhz
76.0 c 100% 270 Kh/s 105589 / 4792 4.34% 290 Series 85% 866.15 Mhz
sample of average GPU's running under 80 deg / air temp 44 deg
assuming around 290 watts +-10 watts per GPU at those speeds
coins are really dropping off, I am hoping more big miners drop out on nxt NFactore change due to HW errors
( more coin for me )
