Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

That implies that etherium needs high inflation rate to keep the price low which of course nonsense  as you can just move to lower decimal point if the price is too high. It's not a physical fuel like oil, dumbass. There are plenty of etherium that can always  be "cheap" as you keep moving the decimal points.

(Sorry for the color but I do not know how to select a previous comment)

I have to laugh at this logic. Have you even thought about it before you replied?

As I understand it Ehterium is the "fuel" slash "cost" to run a service. and yes it is like oil, unless you keep on generating it out of thin air. One can thus compare it directly to normal fuel such as diesel. Lets say 1 gallon of diesel cost now $ 5 and I can drive 20 miles with it. The price of diesel now increases to say $10. Because I can divide 1 gallon into smaller units, say half a gallon,  I still pay $5, however you suggest that I can still drive 20 miles. What logic is that? The "miners" still spend money to process the transactions and they still have to be paid AND they want $10 per gallon.

What Pimp meant was that technology becomes cheaper as it developes due to competition and development, hence the decline in the cost required for the fuel in order for the service to remain competitive., hence the required drop in price of the etherium, hence a loss in initial investment.

Re: NXT vs Bitcoin, Litecoin, Peercoin and Quark

Unfortunately YOU do not understand the NXT distribution model....

Whether is was premined by one guy or 70 (as in this case) the distribution is concentrated and buying in is not worth it.

I can think of various ways of having a better distribution model e.g

1) Similar to the lottery coin were is simple mining process was included until a certain number of block have been generated.

2) a lottery type of distribution based on ones BTC or LTC wallet address and requiring a minimum of a certain number of coins, which can be verified from the block chain and by ensuring that people do not create multiple addresses. Maybe a time delay ....?

3) a serious elaborate marking campaign before they were distributed.

4) a minimum number of say, 10 000 or more, early adopters.

5) Peercoin is a better example of Proof of Stake and distribution model.

etc ....

This is nothing better than Ripple, etc.

The distribution model concentrated in the 70 guys just does not gel for me .... Early adopters ...... that principle is just not fair.....

The other ideas are good, but NXT is not a payment coin, neither is Protoshare nor Megacoin or whatever its name is. So do not compare it to BTC or LTC.

BTW I currently only have BTC, LTC and Protoshare, but I am not stuck to them ....

I am really get p..s off with these donation guys

Face it ... you were greedy and wanted to get in on the action early. There was no moral high ground for you by supporting the coin, but only the motive to make profit. Admit it! and then eff off. A donation was a donation, period. NO money back and no obligation by Mrit to return the "donation"

You people make me sick. Constant biggering and moaning about Mrit being a scam, etc.........

He did us a favour, not the other way round. He had no obligation to make the code public or distribute it. He just could have stayed quiet and mined solo, with nobody the wiser. The donation was the same as for all other contributors

Geese, some quietness would be highly appreciated.... ungratefull bastards!!!!!!

Re: Building PrimeCoin QT on windows - help
by
DUMmy97531
on 24/08/2013, 16:44:59 UTC
The problem is I am lost in finding the source of the problem.

From what I have read, the problem is that the Mscv compiler does not handle this flag but the MinGW does. I have tried both and both gave me the same error. I have looked at the qmake.conf files in the QT directory, and the Mscv version does not have them.

I am looking on guidance on where and how to find the cause of the error. I have no idea where to look.... Google is not very helpful...

BTW the source code is original from the Github. I have changed nothing. The line where the term occurs is in the bitcoin-qt-win64.pro file.

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_WARN_ON = -fdiagnostics-show-option -Wall -Wextra -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wno-unused-parameter -Wstack-protector

Building PrimeCoin QT on windows - help

Hi

Can anybody help?

I am trying to build the Primecoin-HP9 client from Source using QT-Creator on a Windows 7 64 bit machine but receive a build error.

:-1: error: D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/Wextra'

I have searched everywhere but found no answer. It has been indicated that this is due to the use of the Msc compiler, but I also tried the MinGW compiler with no success. I also have MS Studio 2012 installed. Removing -Wextra from the "QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_WARN_ON" flag just increased the number of errors.

I am a bit stuck and really would appreciate any help ...... Smiley

Hi

This is for mikaelh or anybody that can provide a decent answer..

I am trying to understand the current mining algorithm used in the miner, but, since I am a noob when it comes to C programming, I have a hard time understanding it.

mikaelh  ... did you use your own algorithm and, if so, can you please describe it or is there an article on the web available? I have searched for algorithms but found none yet that corresponds to yours. I am trying to learn C programming and thought "what the heck, might as well start here since I am interested in XRP's.

Any help would be highly appreciated........
Hi Dummy, learning c programming and being able to understand the extremely complex math behind the prime coin miner are two separate topics. I would class myself as an accomplished programmer (it's been my day job for 15 years) but I don't understand the xpm algorithm despite reading a lot about it. If your goal is to learn c, I would start with that by looking at some tutorials.

I think you are all misunderstanding me. I AM trying to learn C better. I have done the tutorials and small code. STUPID "HELLOW WORLD". etc. Why spend your time on trivial programs if you can spoend it on more worthwhile things?

The point here is ,,,, because I am a noob C programmer I find it difficult to follow the code and determine the algorthim, I am not REALLY trying to learn C, but trying to understand the algorithm so that I might, if lucky, be able to improve on it. I have searched for algorithms, especially the sieving but the multiplication factor for the sieve throws me out, The rest is basically understandable.

Gee, why do you all misread and misunderstood my request? Because it was easy to hammer on the "Learning C" part and you were all incapable to answer on the "algorithm " part?

Hi Mumus

Firstly I am a noob in programming c and, since I wanted to learn, I though "what the hell, might as well try this"

So I am trying to understand you code and algorithm and came on a possible error. I think I am using V5

At the end of the bool CSieveOfEratosthenes::Weave()

you have

{
                const unsigned long lCompositeCunningham1 = pCompositeCunningham1A | pCompositeCunningham1B;
                const unsigned long lCompositeCunningham2 = pCompositeCunningham2A | pCompositeCunningham2B;
                const unsigned long lCompositeBiTwin = pCompositeCunningham1A | pCompositeCunningham2A;
                pCandidateBiTwin = ~lCompositeBiTwin;
                pCandidateCunningham1 = ~lCompositeCunningham1;
                pCandidates = ~(lCompositeCunningham1 & lCompositeCunningham2 & lCompositeBiTwin);
            }
The way that I see it is you do not have a "pCandidateCunningham2 = ~lCompositeCunningham2;" This means in my opinion that you are not checking for the second series.

 Is this correct?

I concur, yall are more than welcome to pull the source from https://github.com/hg5fm/jhPrimeminer and compile it yourself.

Sorry to say but this is a scam. I was running this for an hour, actually found a block but the block was not recorded under my name. Wonder where it went:(

prof or stfu and gtfo


booohoooo he is trolling me ..........

Really, are you that dumb? Take my comment or leave it. A 9ch is usually a block.

Hi to the programmers (or anybody else who can help)

I am trying to build the miners ( all versions) and get the consistant error, when building)  as follows.

1>prime2.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___gmpz_mul
..
...
..

etc (25 errors total)

All seem to be about the MPIR libraries

I can not find the gmpz_mul but only the mpz_mul, which is in the mpirI.h file. I alos cna not find any reference to the variables.

Is there some setup I must do or which I have omitted with the mpir library?

When I set the verbose flag on it says the following

1>  Unused libraries:
1>    lib\openssl\ssleay32MT.lib
1>    lib\mpir\mpirxx.lib
1>    lib\mpir\mpir.lib
..
..

Please help. I am a fair noob on this, but I would like to learn. (BTW I have googled)


Followup:

I think I found it. The project must be compiled in X64 but the project was set to default Win32. Builds and compiles now, however, what mpri libraries are now win32 and which are x64? Why cant mpri libraries be simpler and standard provided? A hell of a lot of forced changes by compiler ... makes things suspicious... Maybe some more refinements?

This is to Mumus

I have an 8 core Amd 8350 running v 4 on 4 cores and v5 on the other 4 cores.

Having run it now for about 45 minutes I found on V4 18 6ch shares, no 7ch
On the v5 instance I have gotten only 10 6ch shares and no 7ch.

Although the time is maybe short, that is a significant difference in speed and V4 is clearly more efficient than V5. However I like the V5 interface...

Te PPS on both is about 15000

Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps......

Thanks for the hard work....

Update: 2 hours mining

V4 = 34 shares  PPS = 17500
v5 = 32 shares PPS = 10500

Re: Anyone still GPU mining?
by
DUMmy97531
on 06/06/2013, 15:02:56 UTC
I have been mining now for a month with 2 x 9750 on Slush's pool.

Although the total has rate of the pool has increased and so the difficulty, my reward per day has increased.

Why?

Because the total has rate of the pool has increased, the pools luck and the number of blocks found per day, has increased. Although my hash rate percentage of the pool has decreased, and thus the reward per block found has decreased, I get more rewards per day due to the higher number of blocks found. I am thus getting a higher return per day.

I am not giving up on mining with a GPU. Once I can not keep up with the total pool hash rate, I am going to switch over to alternative coins.

I am not sure about the 8 minutes. The average time to find a block on Slush's pool is 1 hour. This was averaged over a day, over a period of 3 days, with an average of 17 blocks found per day.

Getting free BTC is a waste of time
by
DUMmy97531
on 06/06/2013, 13:14:28 UTC
For those that are interested ............

Getting free BTC from websites is a waste of time.

When I started I went to websites and followed links and got small payouts, typical 0.15 mBTC. They are now MicroBTC

In any case, I collected about 0.00954 BTC (took me some effort) and tried to transfer them to a another wallet.

The cost for this transaction from the one wallet to another was 0.008 (system cost)

Following links and getting free BTC is not worth the trouble

Just my 2 cents
