Hi gatra, do we have P2Pool support for RIC?

Not yet, but it's on my to do list

Any update this week Gatra?

I'm currently on the hardfork. After some analysis and testing, I think that the best is to start with one superblock of (about one hour) per week and break the record for sextuplets. We would add an entry to the top ten once per week.
After that and with more time we can think of breaking the others. I've been thinking on how to work with much larger tuplets that would take hours or days to find, without the need for superblocks. It would work similar to how pooled mining works: blocks would allow tuplets with one or two composites until we finally find the record tuple of all primes. Doing this we could obliterate all records for tuples of size 6 and onwards!

Tuplets of fewer primes, like twin primes or even single primes are still out of reach until we have more ideas because block verification would take too long.

Can we assume that this hardfork is the best option for Riecoin?

Of course, I think it is... and almost all feedback was positive. Maybe we could take a more conservative approach... like doing it once per month or only a one-time superblock. I understand the concerns but everybody agrees that world record = good

If that experience works well then we can discuss the details of the more agressive approach that would require everyone to update their miners as well.

we could have a poll.. what do riecoiners think? once a week or a one-time thing, just to prove our power and think of the other approach?

The one-time thing feel likes we had reached a theoretical limit. Riecoiners should know better. Roll Eyes
