I'm DNotes pool operator. Should I take any action? What will hapen with rewards for these blocks?

Hi Wargo, thank you. Sent a PM.

If any pool operators would like to setup a block finder reward funded by us in the meantime, that would be helpful.

I've setup 25NOTE bonus for finder and 1% bonus to all miners on DNotes Pool

Now at 1,338,000 Cap and raising, nice work. An unrelated question; On DNotespool.com, the others user's hashrate and daily earnings are not shown, also not showing logged in user's daily earnings (projected), why?  Would it be possible to show this info? It helps us tune for max performance...

Not sure. I'll certainly ask.

I hid the Contributor Share/Hashrate on the Pool statistics page to only admin early on to keep database calls down, as rankings didn't seem particularly useful.

I've made them visible to all again, so you can look at those. It just shows the top 15, plus always shows your own user stats regardless of what rank you might be.

I'm not sure how that list would be particularly useful in helping "tune for max performance" as it can't tell you anything about the user's mining setup - are they using CPU, GPU, ASIC, combination? What graphics card(s) they might be using, or which ASIC miner? Nor any of the many settings different miner programs have like the many combinations listed at https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

But the lists now are publicly visible again for whatever informational use they may provide.

Thank you, appreciate that. Maybe I should have said "tune for profit" instead. It's helpful to see how many coins are being paid out for different hash rates, in real time, as it relates to difficulty. I split my rigs between many pools and have target numbers for each. This way I can plan to add capacity to one pool or, move it to another, to keep numbers level at any given time. Kinda like aiming for a target.

If you think it will hurt performance, by all means, turn it back off. If not, thanks for activating...

PS: I upped my donation. I don't believe in getting something for nothing....


No problem. I hid it early on at the start, along with other "public" available stuff to make sure that speed wasn't because of (semi) useless extra queries. It's not a problem, so putting some back is A-OK.

No need to donate, or up it. I'm taking your 1% anyways, but thanks Smiley

Those are just the default MPOS stats, the donation icon stuff is default. I don't want it to be a competition or anything, so I'll probably adjust those tables now that their public. Drop the donations if/and/how much. Maybe extend the list longer, there's certainly more than 15 users that make the pool worth pooling Smiley

Hey all, we've upgraded the ...snip... and are now running a new Pool software where you can mine your DNotes.

We are still in BETA with the pool software but everything should be fully operational, let me know if you have any issues and happy mining.

Enjoy 0% fees during our BETA stage while we confirm 100% that there are no kinks in the system.

...snip...

We also do provide the DNotes Block Explorer and Faucet as well as the DNotes ..snip... that got us all off and running in the beginning.

Strange... I was pretty sure I remember reading this a few pages back:

It appears pool owners are no longer allowed to post ads or announcements in the threads...

Besides, if you're going to, whether pool advertising is or is not allowed, please leave out the "...that got us all off and running in the beginning" because that is at best a misstatement.

so i managed to send all my coins to my wallet the day before the shut down successfully. I knew something was wrong when a coin i sold and re-bought in another was back and my btc balance was negative. weird. anyway can you have 2 different wallets within the dnotes wallet. or in other words so i can keep my coins separate? that would be a cool thing to have. i dont know how many people would actually use that feature besides me however.

It is possible but not easy to manage at the moment. Basically you would have to manage two different wallet.dat files.

Is it possible now? I tried using the -datadir=C:\MyWallet2 but it just popped an error that it couldn't put a lock on \AppData\Roaming\DNotes location - "DNotes is probably already running"

So I went searching in case I was just using the command line options incorrectly. Ran across a thread that someone was saying that a "-walletdir" option would be a nice feature. Which, it probably would be.

Even if -datadir= worked correctly (maybe it does and I am just doing it wrong), that would mean a whole second directory for everything, including all the blockchain/db files. Although I don't know if two separate running versions could access the blockchain/db simultaneously...In which case a -walletdir option would only be useful to place wallet.dat somewhere outside the datadir, though still allowing the ability to launch DNotes-qt with the wallet of your choice.


But that could be a nice feature in itself. Still only allow one instance of the interface, still using only one set of blockchain/db files. But a command line option, and preferably like a File menu submenu and/or popup panel, to select from any number of different wallets, maybe with even a feature to label them with the default wallet being like "Main (Default)" and I could label another "Retirement Fund", and another "Vacation Fund", etc....

I would guess, like when I was messing with the source looking into an interface to reset the blockchain files, changing a wallet from with the UI would probably have to make it relaunch itself using the selected wallet in the new -walletdir option.

But yeah, that would be nice, even if logistically it would have to create/use completely separate datadir if specifically only setting a -walletdir wouldn't work. It would just be even nicer only having to keep one set of blockchain data instead of a copy for every individual wallet you wanted to setup.

 


Just for the sake of testing, I was able to create a batch file that ran the following command:
dnotes-qt.exe -datadir=C:\MyWallet2
I had to create the C:\MyWallet2 directory prior to running the bat file. It did run both instances of the wallet, one with the regular data directory, and one using C:\MyWallet2. However, I can't really recommend running the client that way, as I don't know if that will create any problems. Although it has not created any noticeable problems for me yet.

See, I said I might have just been doing it wrong Smiley

But actually, I wasn't. My 2nd data directory did exist. So it wasn't a non-existant directory error. So my -datadir was a real directory that was not the AppData directory, but it still said it couldn't get a lock on the AppData (default) directory.

Maybe running it from a batch file changes something? I just typed the exact same thing you did from a DOS prompt and it still assumed AppData directory, not the -datadir I specified.

However, it that worked for you, I would certainly recommend it. Because that's what you're doing, running two completely different instances. Not just different wallets, but also different blk.dat files. But - that's what the whole "syncing" is. The only difference between your default wallet and your MyWallet2 is ONLY the wallet.dat, the rest is just network stuff.

Which yeah, as is, when you open now default wallet, it has to resync those blk00# data. Then later you open up MyWallet2 and since it's a whole separate datadir, it has to update it's blk00# files too. So you now have two copies of the blockchain data, and two wallets. Rather than two wallets using the same blockchain data, which IS the same data.

So the same suggestion applies. If it HAS to be whole new data directories for each wallet, it would still be a nice feature - just data space * number of wallets. Just saying what would be even nicer... data space * 1, just able to say which wallet you want to work with.

I enjoy reading the DNotes thread for that very same reason. 600 pages of drama and fighting makes a good coin? Not in my book.

I may be misreading your response?

600 pages? I see 118.

Drama? Haven't noticed that either.

Are you sure you mean the DNotes thread, or one of the many other crap coins that do have 600 pages, because it's all drama and nothing useful to read?

[edit: I am/was zph42, bitcointalk email must be down or something, couldn't login, so I'm still me, just a new nick Smiley ]

[edit2: Oh...I'm usually good with sarcasm. You are making fun of those other 600-page-drama coins, not DNotes.. I get it now, carry on Smiley ]
