Looks like maplechange was hacked.  Please do not send coins there until situation is resolved.   

Yes, I think they were hacked... or exit scammed. You may want to remove them from the list.

Re: Monetizing crypto website with AdSense

I started a cryptocurrency related website some time ago and it has become quite popular. Now I want to use the income the site generates to fund further development (new features and optimization). My content targets traders and about 50% of the traffic comes from mobile devices. Most of the traffic comes from Japan. I will not mention what the website is here :-)

Today I'm monetizing with a bitcoin advertising network, but I'm thinking I can do better with something like AdSense. I'm interested to hear if anyone here can give me a rough idea about how much I can earn per click with AdSense? Also I'm interested to hear if anyone can recommend other advertising networks... especially networks that work well for mobile sites and Japanese users?

Does adsense pay to bitcoin related websites? As dar as I know, no... But amn't 100 sure...
If they pay, then CPC won't be low for you because japanese traffic is valuable compared to others, they pay much especially in USA traffic. CPC depends on website's content too, for example some keywords have high cpc and some - low. You can find CPC of your keywords on google planner.
Personally I can't recommend any other, there is nothing similar of adsense.

I think they do pay bitcoin related websites (I see many Google ads on various websites).

Thanks for the hint about Google Planner, I will definitely take a look at it. I think AdSense will be my primary network, but depending on the ad formats I might consider at network that specialises in mobile ads. I think I will just have to try things out and see how they perform Smiley Currently I'm paid per impression (about 2 USD CPM), and I think AdSense will be better.

AdSense is the best advertising network. They have no right competition.
They have a different rate depends on your visitors, or from where it coming. Countries, where people use a credit card and online payments, are better ranked and you will get better CPR ratio from this visitors. For example, one visitor from Australia will get you more than 3000 visits from Ukraine.
I am not sure how is Japan ranked there.
Big things here is what is default language of your website. English always has best results. If your website on the Japanese language, you are limited only to local targeted visitors.


That is good to know. My site is in English. Here is a top 10 of visitors by country:
1. Japan 79.51%   
2. United States 3.44%
3. Russia 3.28%
4. Vietnam 1.18%
5. Ukraine 1.17%
6. United Kingdom 0.85%
7. China 0.71%
8. Germany 0.70%
9. Netherlands 0.70%
10. Poland 0.66%

I also have some affiliate links that I'm tracking with Google Analytics (just event tracking). In june I've had 1050 clicks on those (740 unique). Here is my affiliate clicks by country for june:
Japan 612
United States 68
Vietnam 59
China 48
Russia 43
Ukraine 20
Taiwan 16
South Korea 15
United Kingdom 14
Germany 12

Do you have a calculation of AdSense earnings pr. 1000 views or average earning pr. click?

To prevent dump the coin maybe it should be better to accept masternodes? People who have 1000s of IRD will cooperate to get masternodes and wont dump their coins.
Or are there any other options to prevent people from dump?

The low price is preventing dumping. Just keep the price low Smiley

I was trying to use getrawmempool:

But it just returns empty result:

I am running bitcoind in prune mode. Could this be the reason or is there another explanation?


No, running bitcoind in prune mode indeed does not let you use "getrawmempool".

 
See the answer below which describes it better than i ever could.

The mempool is where transactions are stored until they get put into a block. It would be hard to determine you had the correct mempool if you didn't keep track of the whole block chain, though. For example, someone could broadcast an older transaction, and you would have no way to determine that you shouldn't just add it to your mempool if you didn't keep track of the whole block chain. Transactions also have to pass some basic validation before they can be added to the mempool, validation which requires having all the blockchain data.

If there were a program to implement this, it would at least have to process all new blocks as they came in, in order to determine which transactions to take out of the mempool as blocks get solved.
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/35811/bitcoind-getrawmempool-without-downloading-the-full-blockchain


Ok, that explains that explains it then. Thanks a lot!

As i said there is no need for gpu mining. We all with cpu mining what will do then? Make 10 coins the day with the cpu and the gpu miners will make 500?

Hope the max supply of the coins will remain 50million.

I also like CPU mining and use my GPUs for other cryptos... but mining should not really be centralized in one pool imo.  Wink With centralized mining *you can only hope* that the max supply stays 50 million  Tongue

I like this project... the gateway drug to mining  Cheesy I sincerely hope people new to mining try it and get a positive experience. It is definitely easy to get started.  

I have one computer with a Core i5 mining with 2 cores at 25 H/s and another computer with a 18 cores at 250 H/s. This is the result after mining for many hours:

Core i5Xeon 20 Core
Specs 4 cores / 4 threads 20 cores / 40 threads
Mining with2 cores18 cores
Speed25 H/s250 H/s
Accepted hashes170186

As you can see the number don't add up. The 18 core system has 10 times the hashes, but far from 10 times the accepted hashes. Why is that?

I'm having issues with the new v2.1.2.buildba6223a wallet. I'm on Windows 10.

I followed the directions here: http://ird.cash/update-to-new-gui-wallet/ - So I made a backup of %AppData%/iridium and then deleted the folder. I then went on to install the new v2.1.2.buildba6223a wallet and that went fine. When I start the application it crashes without any errors. In the Windows event-log I see this:

Code:
Windows cannot access the file  for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Iridium_Wallet.exe because of this error.

Program: Iridium_Wallet.exe
File:

Notice that "File: " is empty... so I don't know which file is missing.

I just compile a new one more "compatible", same build version, same functionality but should universally work
take it at the usual place and tell me :

https://github.com/iridiumdev/Iridium-wallet/releases/latest

Edit : a new windows one with shasum 256 Wink
Edit2 : I think the problem was the lack of SSE4.2 support on your processor, this version correct this. just tell me.

Awesome it works!
nice !
it was so easy in view of the windows error message !!! Lol !

just tell me, what is the processor on the machine with the problem ?

It's a Intel Core i5 3570K

I don't really know, I'm not a windows guru, I code and compile everything on a Mac (with vm) ...
 
may be an idea : In the application folder (program files, iridium...), you will find vcredist_x64.exe
install it, it's the microsoft c++ runtime, may be you have not it in your system or maybe your simply not on a 64bits version, in that case, I can't do better now, the db lib is 64bit only.

I already tried installing it, but I already had it installed. The runtime installer offered to repair which I did, but the problem persists.
I have installed on another Windows 8 box, and it is working fine there. I wonder if the problem could have something to do with previous installations of Iridium?

Re: [ANN] Iridium - Cryptonight PoW - NO Premine - Fair Launch - Low Supply - NEW!

Update from mine77 pool: all of the back payments have been broadcast from blocks 8570 - 8726, and should appear in your pending balance or payment history on the mine77 site. A total of 14,102 IRD was sent for the mined blocks that were not correctly credited to miners. Thanks for your patience while I did the accounting!

Great job! I have been mining this on/off and I don't know if I have been credited or not. I'm not really concerned... just happy to see you, the dev, and everyone else working together to make this coin a success!

Yeap, it's due to someone running an out of date node.
The seed nodes are accepting all transactions, you can test this by sending some IRD to yourself, and seeing if it confirms in transactions. It works for me, so it should work for everyone now.

I installed v2 Gui wallet on Linux and opened a v1 wallet. This worked fine. I then tried sending coins from the v2 wallet to another v2 wallet. After several hours I still have 0 confirmations.

i have 800 Mhs in Ethash, i come to mine your coin in few day

Great SuperiorCoin uses CryptoNite algorithm.

you think i can use ethos for mine it ?

I have never tried Ethos, but I know it is linux based. I'm using xmr-amd-stak (https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd) to mine SuperiorCoin on Ubuntu 16.

Try to add

, this will skip address incorrectness.

I tried that but it doesn't work and still fails address validation. Maybe it can be fixed by the pool software.
