why the diff and net hashrate jump high and low ,now and then??  Huh Huh Huh

I don't think we can control hashrate but the dev selected a PID algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller) to control the difficulty and it seems to be working as designed. I studied control systems theory in college and i'm intrigued by how this could be applied to control difficulty on a cryptocoin.

Remember from the OP, setpoint is a block every 180 seconds (or 100 blocks every 5 hrs). As far as I can tell the PID is right on getting there.

So if the PID diff algo is working correctly, next diff should go down since we're 2 hr's past the 100 blocks every 5 hrs mark

I think you need to add a rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 there

Can I just delete the block chain and redownload it?

I have tried the command prompt numerous times with no success.

you might want to add a -printtoconsole to see what it's doing, it takes around 5 minutes. After it updates the whole blockchain you can stop it and restart the gui wallet.

There was one wallet that had corrupted blockchain after reindex but it was empty so i just wiped the directory and re-downloaded it. Not sure how to work that out if you have some coins in the wallet  Shocked

I'm looking into it.

I believe there is a problem with the function that calculates the new Diff.   It went from 0x251323ff  to 0x2448a3ff

Before: 251323ff  0000001323FF0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0
After:  2448a3ff  0000000048A3FF00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0


Yeah, something is wrong the way the PID algorithm is calculating the diff. PID is supposed to overshoot a little, but not 400% Tongue

With the new wallet 0.3.3 I get a lot of gpu throttling down due to the "Waiting for work from pool 0".

I did not notice that before.

And same as everyone else who has replied still get HW errors on any other cards that I try and mine. Even tried putting the wallet on another computer and solo into that with a different port and no go.

dev said something about this wallet not generating "dummy work" like bitcoin does. I think if there are no new transactions to put in a block, the whole network goes idle. Right now he seems to be generating a 0.0011 transfer every 1 minute and blocks are getting resolved in around 30 seconds, so miners go idle for the rest of the minute.

I guess setting a cron job sending a small transaction back and forth between 2 wallets will keep miners busy.

Block card in 3474, 2 hours, the coin to die?

There were no transactions, the dev stopped a process which was generating a new 0.02 transaction every 10 seconds. All you needed to get more blocks mined was to send some coins between wallets Wink

cgminer still pool 0 slow/down?

I saw that error on cgminer when it could not rpc to kryptohashd. Check that RPC is enabled on kryptohashd (server=1) and that cgminer is reaching it on the correct port (default is 38912).

Is that why I'm getting "cgminer pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid"? I'm new to this, it could be another reason. Just trying to figure out what's wrong lol.

I'm getting the same but it was working before we got to block 99. It seems the wallet is crashing trying to generate block 100

EDIT: yup, that seems to be, wallet works fine as daemon until you try a getblocktemplate

Finally got this setup finished. Built a custom server room in my pole barn to house all the ants. I figured they would run nice n cool with a small air conditioned room and the ants exhausted out the back. but that doesn't look like the case. I'm seeing temps on most of them up around 47 and 48 degrees even with the ac on high. I'm not sure if it's because all the PSU's are so close to the ants that it's sucking in the warm exhaust from the psu's, or just need a bigger AC, or maybe something wrong with the airflow of the room. The ants are creating suction in the small room, so much it whams the door shut and there is a noticeable difference in the sounds the fans are making while the door is open vs the door being shut. When it's shut it sounds like a vacuum when you put your hand over the hose. Is 47-48 not OCed still acceptable or should I worry about getting them down and suggestions on doing that which doesn't require moving the Ants.  Undecided

I think the room is supposed to be sealed instead of having ants pull air off it. Your ants should warm the room while the AC cools it back  keeping the set temperature.

Every order placed so far, including phil's, is ready to go. I am out of USB sticks but will be receiving more later in the week. At this point I have a few usb hubs I can sell for 1.1 BTC a piece.

I'm interested on a hub, how do I order?

I got one of the new blades, web interface starts but Chip shows all "x" and it doesn't hash at all.

I already tried 2 different power supplies. Any ideas?  Huh

Got the blade but it seems broken, it shows all "x" in Chip status  Sad

Make sure you have a sufficient power supply.

Tried with a 500W and a single rail 750W, all "x"  Huh
