Re: I Own Feathercoins: Yes or No.
by

Yes, because it takes as much energy to mine as LTC with 4x more coins so the price will rise to 1/4 LTC's price.

Everything works fine until now! Smiley

Solo mining, I'm only getting around 8kH/sec on a radeon HD 7970, is this normal?  I thought the hashrate would be similar to LTC.
Yes, that's not normal, you should be getting almost exactly the same hashes as LTC. Restart your miner and try a different pool (preferably one with stratum support).

If Feathercoin is compatible with litecoind JSON RPC, I can add it to https://snowco.in
Please do! It's compatible!

Current Difficulty   27.497
I said so...
Next difficulty estimate calculation is broken it shows 36, but it's not true, next difficulty should be about 27.

My bad. I was accidentally using 210 seconds instead of 160 (2.5 min)
Fixed now!

Looks great! Thanks for that!

Since you already have all the data: Would it be possible to add some charts?

Like Difficulty over time.
Or Hashrate over time.

Also nice to have would be number of transactions/day over time...

[EDIT] Where do you get the "Estimated Network Hashrate" from? http://fc.dontmine.me/accountdetails and https://featherpool.com/ show much higher hashrates.
Charts are a bit more complex as it requires the recording of history, and thus, a database.


Very nice work, a suggestion, if any new data is added, make it in a starkly contrasting color format, or a new page.
Thanks! I'm planning on changing the colour scheme and organization to improve readability


I think getting network hash over 1500 blocks is a bit too many. You might want to drop that number down significantly.
What would you say is a good number? I can change it to calculate over the last n blocks but it'll take an extra API call. i.e. the page will load slightly slower.


Very nice work....Just a heads up for your abbreviations you're using FTC where as everywhere else it is refered to as FC. not a huge deal but should probably change it
Is the official format FC? I was using FTC because I was following the common practice of naming currencies with three letter abbreviations, e.g. USD, JPY, BTC, etc.


Next difficulty estimate calculation is broken it shows 36, but it's not true, next difficulty should be about 27.
That's because it's calculating from the last difficulty retarget and the hashrate has increased since then. I supposed it might be possible to use some calculus to find the instantaneous hashrate or something.

Re: Genericizing the term "Bitcoin"
by
altmine2
on 23/04/2013, 21:16:14 UTC
In talking with people who don't own any cryptocoins, I've sometimes been using the term "Bitcoin" to mean all cryptocoins in general, and the community surrounding them.  i.e., if I traded Litecoin for Terracoin today, and gained, I might say "I made some bitcoin today."

A better term is probably 'coin or cryptocoin, but I'm liking the idea of genericizing the term.  I'm sure it would royally piss some people off.
Personally I like the term cryptocoin, or just 'coin if you're in knowledgable company.
I did read Mathcoin (math based coin) in a news article, which is interesting because it's short and laypeople may not know what crypto is.

Re: [ANN][FeatherCoin][Stratum] FC.GETCOINAGE.COM - New Stratum Only Pool
by
altmine2
on 23/04/2013, 21:11:18 UTC
No, that is not the case... if this should work out, I plan on releasing the updates I've done to Stratum to get it working with FC(which should also work with Litecoin)... info on this alone is a pain in the neck to find!

Yes, I haven't posted much, but I didnt' join just to promote this pool... and in fact when I first joined I didn't intend to run a pool at all.  I like the idea of a altcoin based on Litecoin and with the need for a Stratum Pool not really out there, I decided I'd give it a go.

If you don't want to throw all your miners at this pool or any for that matter, no loss on my part, and no hard feelings! Smiley

-Toast
I really want this to be legit, I do.
I think you should make some posts around the forums, to show you're trustworthy.
If people steadily get paid from your pool, I'll jump on board 100%.
Do you have much experience with running servers, etc.?

I see "Coming soon: Another fine website..."

Pinging benhohner.com [2607:f0d0:1103:106::18]
Aha, I've been having a couple reports of it not working, which were baffling because a bunch of people can still get on.
It must be IPv6. I'll look into it, thanks Smiley

Re: Just lost 6.4 bitcoins or 663 euros from MT.gox STOLEN

Ouch that sounds pretty horrible. You may have been subject to a Man-In-The-Middle attack, or someone may have brute forced your password. Maybe someone stole your Mt.Gox session for a malicious website you visited. There are so many threats.

When picking a password, the longer you can go, the better.
Code:
Correct horse battery staple!
is a better password than
Code:
14Ms0l33t!$

Either way, I feel sorry for your loss. Hope it doesn't happen again!

Is the time to next diff posted anywhere?  Next one will probably be a huge jump...

I just made a site with the following:
  • Current Block
  • Current Difficulty
  • Expected Time to Find a Block
  • Estimated Network Hashrate
  • Estimated Time to Difficulty Retarget
  • Projected Next Difficulty
  • Total Coins Mined

How many coins per day would you guys say with one 7950? a 7970?
7950: ~600 KHash/s
7970: ~700 KHash/s
Now, I can't verify the accuracy of this page cause I haven't been able to get the stated hashes out of my 6990, but it's usually pretty close I would imagine.

New Calculator up with auto-updating difficulty. It will calculate your
  • Average time to find a block mining solo
  • Coins per day
  • Hardware break even in days
  • Power cost per day
  • Revenue per day
  • Revenue less power costs

Would you like to see any changes/improvements?
Just post em in this thread or drop me an email.
Let's make FeatherCoin the best coin, guys! Smiley

Edit:
I have added a new page with all sorts of blockchain info.
http://i.imgur.com/PUEu7A2.png
