The monetary policy is detailed in the OP. The block reward is reduced by 1 every year until the 8th year when there will be just over 49M coins and 360k new ones every year.

I'm using the latest drivers but with compute mode enabled. Only getting ~24.6mh/s on each card. Thats at stock 1306mhz gpu & 1750mhz mem.

How are you getting ~29mh/s?

You need to mod the VBIOS with different memory timings and also overclock the memory. You can downclock and undervolt the core to save power as well.
Generally speaking the memory can go to 2000 - 2200 MHz depending on which ICs are used and their quality. Core can be downclocked to around 1150 MHz and undervolted to 800 - 950mV without losing hash rate. You will have to do stability testing to figure out optimal settings for your cards as each one is different.

You can use this version of PBE to do an easy timings mod:

Back up your original and flash the modded one with atiflash:

You may need to disable the driver's VBIOS signature check after modding. Use this tool:

Apparently there is an XC Discord now. I guess the team doesn't plan to post on bitcointalk anymore (unless you are talking about the blocknet thread. They have time for that.)  Tongue

2. I have a few rigs on v11.5 and they are working for days until I restart miner to perform some new tests, but I always use non-overclocked cards and default bioses, I have to do it to exclude everything except miner in case of any problems. When you use miner on overclocked/unstable rig you cannot be sure that the reason of the problems is the miner, but of course you will blame it Wink Try to reduce "-ethi" value, if it does not help you can use the version that works fine for you.

I've had this miner running for over a month before till I shut it down on purpose for some maintenance, and that was with modded/undervolted cards. If you have instability the miner is probably not the culprit. Once in a while I will see a card report a hashrate a few Mh/s below normal but it's very brief and will only appear on one line of reporting. If I hit 's' after or wait for the next report it's already back to normal.

I think most people just don't do proper stability testing after they start messing with clocks/volts/timings.

A swap to new wallet.


Releases : https://github.com/XCurrency/xc/releases

1 - backup wallet.dat
2 - copy wallet.dat into new xc3 data directory
3 - run xc3, you will receive a warning about keys
4 - check to see if you have the privatekeys from old wallet


If you get this message :

"Warning: error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly,
but transaction data or address book entries might be missing or incorrect."

then your allset, if you get :

"wallet.dat corrupt salvage failed"

Use command dumpprivkey adressname in the old XC wallet to get the private key.

Use importprivkey with that key in the new XC wallet.


Explorer : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc/#
Old : https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xc2/


If you need the old wallet :

Linux : https://github.com/atcsecure/XC2
Windows : https://mega.nz/#!lDQ2yCYK!73s7J4JPwsjxfaPjqd0b25aoE2M7oR7feqoetqz9UJM
Mac : https://mega.nz/#!VDgBEa5K!4cq0KP94NEkeVwnamsedR7UJM8x1pt6yEk6QuK_edfc
Snapshot : https://mega.nz/#!oS51RQrR!FNDN_j2spU1a3hBChKIx0JHU3MVDKDbjuYOJECaW_jI


Use these instructions to setup your servicenode. 5000XC needed.

https://github.com/BlocknetDX/blocknet-docs/blob/master/blocknetDXservice-node.md

Use port 14333 instead for XC.



So are there two chains right now? Which one is novaexchange on??

I'm restarting up my miner from a clean slate after moving and my USB pen died, as soon as I try and run the miner I get the error:

"amdgpu_device_initialize: DRM version is 2.50.0 but this driver is only compatible with 3.x.x. Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

I'm running an R9 390 in this rig to test, I've never had this problem before and the only reference I can find to it online is this lonely post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670733.msg20121404#msg20121404

Any help is much appreciated, thanks guys!

Guys I'm very new to crypto, this will be my first air drop ever! So please can someone explain to me how to properly set up the wallet to get the air drop. Last thing I want is to think I will get the airdrop and I don't. Please a step by step instruction would be great, I read on the instructions on there site but it's very confusing. Thank you guys

Thanks for the reply. I found a few posts about this on the discord afterwards and it seems I was under the wrong impression anyway.
I thought perhaps XCP and the other tokens would be moving to the Hush chain, but it seems that is not necessarily true. The protocols would be implemented but the tokens would remain on the BTC chain unless the curators of any particular one actively decided to switch, correct?

In that case you may not have to export the private key at all. Try this guide instead but substitute 'ETC' for 'UBQ', except in step 9 I believe you need to select the ETH address you sent the UBQ to.

https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005200029-I-sent-ETC-on-an-ETH-address-how-can-I-recover-them-

Quote
1. Connect you Ledger device, enter your PIN code, enter your Ethereum application and disable the browser support setting
2. On your Ledger Wallet Ethereum application, copy your ETC UBQ address // Please verify twice that it is the ETC UBQ address, not the ETH one.
3. On your Ledger device, enable the browser support setting
4. Go to MyEtherWallet website (not the Chrome extension plugin)
5. Select "ETC" "UBQ" in the top right menu
6. Select the "Send Ether" tab
7. Select the "Ledger Nano S" option and click on "Connect your Ledger Wallet"
8. Select the " m/44'/60'/0''" derivation path (Ledger ETH)
9. Select the address where your ETC UBQ are. If you don't find the right address, don't forget to click on "More addresses"
10. Click on "Unlock your wallet" to display the wallet manager
11. Paste your ETC UBQ address in the required field and empty your account

It depends which wallet you are using for UBQ.

That's because you need to import the private key from your eth address before you will see it. If you want to verify it is there you can look up your eth address on a ubiq block explorer.

In order to recover the coins you need to export the eth wallet private key first so you can import it to your ubiq wallet. Unfortunately I don't have step by step instructions for you and it depends on which particular wallet you are using. You can probably find info in a FAQ for the wallet you are using with some searching.

For example if it is a ledger nano hardware wallet a quick search comes up with this:

https://ledger.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005197905-Restoring-your-Ethers-ETH-or-ETC-without-a-Ledger-Nano-S

You should be able to find similar guides for mist/geth, parity, myetherwallet, jaxx, etc. with some searching. Same goes for finding a guide for the second step of how to import keys into a wallet. Google is your friend.

thanks for your reply unfortunatly as i open myetherwallet with ledger wallet key it seems that i dont have encrypted key

"Private Key (unencrypted)"

Any solution?

Well if it's unencrypted it should be even easier to export then shouldn't it?

You will need to export your private keys for your ETH address and import them into your UBQ wallet.

Yeah I've noticed that. I can set 950mv in each dpm state and the card will actually use 950mv in windows, but with the same BIOS in Linux it will use stock voltages of around 1150mv. To get around this I've edited the BIOS to just go ahead and use stock voltages for the higher dpm states but added a 287mv negative global offset...but for some reason dpm state 6 is still bugged. If I switch to that state I see the "AvgPwr" show as around 50W (which tells me it is using less than idle voltage) and it will crash. It should be at around 850 - 863mv in that state, just like it does for states 3, 4, 5, etc. but for some reason it doesn't.

It's a real pain in the ass and I haven't ruled that out as a cause for the instability (briefly switching to state 6 for whatever reason). I wish the driver would just do what it's supposed to according to the BIOS but nope. It does what it wants and what it wants is to be a dick.

Well like I say it's crashing after 5 minutes and I can't use the ROCm kernel anyway (or amdgpu-pro driver either because I'm using Debian now but apparently you don't need that).

When you say it's 0.5Mh/s below Windows do you mean with or without the dag fix?

even with DAG fix the hashrates I get is 0.4-0.5 lower on same card same clocks on win 10.

Just to add to this now that I got it working and have some data...I've been testing 1 of my cards in Linux and it gets 28.5 (reported by Claymore's miner) using practically the same settings (-10MHz on the memory because 2060 seemed unstable), as opposed to 29.5 reported by Claymore in Windows.

GPU # 1 in this screenie:

https://i.imgur.com/pyOzP3i.png

However, the actual effective 24hr avg hash rate on the pool side (AFTER losses from stale shares and Claymore's fee) is consistently slightly higher than the reported hash rate in Windows. Meanwhile the actual effective hash rate of the Windows cards is 5% or more below the reported hash rate.

https://i.imgur.com/pB7tvSo.jpg

That said, Windows does actually seem more stable. I mined for over a month with no signs of stopping until I shut down the rig on purpose to do some maintenance. In Linux it crashes every once in a while even with a slightly lower mem clock and slightly higher power use and temps (so I'm assuming core voltage is slightly higher but I have no way to check for sure). Also no way to monitor GPU memory errors so I'm not sure if the crashes are due to memory clocks/timings or a lack of core voltage.
