I'm not sure what you're talking about DOGE, but please do tell us how we can help reaching a solution, be it forking the wallet with an upgraded TOR or ignoring TOR if needed, but we need a working network.

I can't find any. Even chainz block explorer lost all peers about a month back.

I'd like to voice my disappointment that such radical changes were made and not even mentioned here in advance. DNET/PIVX was announced/birth here and the dedicated forum was made several years later.

No self-respecting coin should be limited to their own censored/centralised forum. And without knowing anything about the "months of discussions", I do have to say these changes seem rather stupid and even insulting to long term holders.

I have 8 connections but getpeerinfo doesn't show them (shows 127.0.0.1) probably because of onion.

Try these I gathered with Tcpview:
95.216.115.85
85.208.144.164
89.58.13.96
212.92.142.17

If your PSU shuts down during startup you're already doing something wrong, like using a way undersized or terrible quality PSU. Have at least 10-20% overhead in terms of PSU capacity and never walk the line.

But if you really need launch serialization, have two (or more) executables one starting the first half of cards and the second instance starting the rest a bit later. Though I'd seriously look into the PSU issue.

Hey, I'm far from having enough hashpower to solomine, I know the math behind the difficulty and my hashrate and the variance that comes with it (it would take many months to find a block solo) but I'd like to setup my own stratum pool for me and a few friends as they are bugging me for it. I know there are "solo pools" but we really can't trust them as much.

I finally have geth synced with --syncmode full and it's done after many days but the whole thing is "only" 729GB (thought it should be like ~2x of that) and I can't solomine due to various errors but that's fine.

I want to build a stratum pool for this.

Does https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool still work or what should I use and what settings to use for geth?

I'm on windows but I can fire up a linux VM if needed. Cheers!

You never know.

@JeffJohnsonTheNameYouKnow @manikminer Thanks, GMINER solved it for me!

I understand that Claymore miner is done now, but using 1080 Ti cards with every other miner I get ~18MH/s instead of ~47MH/s if the DAG is over 4GB in benchmark modes (win 8.1). What am I missing? Linux works well so I'm guessing it's some driver or windows limitation? Is there a workaround?

It will remain 0.5 (+fees) for the end of times (unless a fork comes along):

Hey, I've been away for a while and I'm wondering, are there any non-custodial exchanges that are listing smaller coins and not just big ones or Eth tokens? Seems like there are more new exchanges than mushrooms after a rain and many of them are beyond sketchy. So I'm wondering if there's an exchange that can't possible steal from people. If there is, I think we should aim to get on there.

Hey guys! I don't have my node running for quite some time now but I could start it again. I'm just wondering if there are any blockhain explorers so that we can be sure we're on the right fork.

Hey, do a full resync without snapshot. I did the same and now it works fine. Both snapshots available are bad.

And a fully sync doesn't take ages anymore, maybe 2-3 hours.

If you need nodes, use the node list from here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/pivx/#!network

So, turns out that projectmerge.org's snapshot is forked compared to chainz from block 2365699.

And pivx.blockfiles.download's latest bootstrat is at block 2191397 which block also has a different hash compared to chainz.

So let's see the hash for block 2368020, on
chainz.cryptoid.info and explorer.pivx.link it's 11dd5014f7c5a80765e3ef41bb62d615bc952ba7b0f5a5b3c09d6b02b037655e and on
pivx.ccore.online, pivx.tokenview.com it's eeb6ce309f33fd8f45730c3e9281c814efeace0bcbad5efbb5f1ab40103b932d.

So there are definitely forks.

Either way, where can I get a snapshot/bootstrap that's corrent and aren't very old?

Since 4.1.1 I keep forking again.

I'm strictly sticking to non-custodial exchanges. I'm not going to trust even the most popular exchanges with my money. Bitrex and Poloniex both screwed me even after many years of using them (grandfacther accounts). They suddenly started asking for full-on verification and didn't allow withdrawals. Sure, some would say the writing was on the wall, but I'd expect they would at least would let us withdraw our funds in case we don't want to get verified. But no.
And they get to decide if they accept or deny verifications and if they do deny, they get to keep the funds.

So yeah, never again. I'm sticking to mostly Bisq.

The only time I'm using non-custodial services, is if I'm dealing with small amounts of money, like online betting on cloudbet.

Basically, if anyone who keep using centralized and/or custodial wallets/exchanges/services, they WILL get screwed eventually. They introduce having to trust the other party, which is one of the basic principles crypto goes against so it's foolish to give up - even if it's very convenient.

Really, a log scale for EW is a thing? WTH

With much respect, jakiman, I don't think Pivx should be proud to announce such an exchange.

IEO, IPO, ICO, however they call it, it's the same cancer disrupting crypto for yeas now. Besides that, I could only find negative experiences and their garbage tokens that only they deal with (apart from hitbtc for some reason). Any exchange with their own token should be laughed at, but I digress.

But as we all know, in the wonderful world of decentralization, a single source of information and numbers from a single centralized source are usually not accurate, especially if it's beneficial to them to massage the numbers to their own advantage. CMP's one huge issue is that they are willing to list any exchange as long as they have a public API. Then again, anyone could create a website with a falsely inflated API. And they do.

The key world in the pivx article is "reportedly".

But there's this: "Disclaimer: Any third-party services mentioned are not endorsed by PIVX team and are provided for informational purposes only."

In which case I'm absolutely baffled, why did it even make on pivx.org's announcements section? If not for monetary reasons, it's either hopefully an oversight or I'm sorry, but plain stupidity.

Perfect, thank you!

Thank you. But unless I'm missing something, the first two are not monthly averages, but rather weekly averages. I could easily calculate the monthly averages, but I need a simpler, clear solution as other people would use it too.

And the third might work, but I'm looking for a free alternative, if possible.
