Hashtalk ran on the NodeBB forum software, cloud-hosted and managed by nodebb.org (hence the invoices we saw)

PayCoin Talk runs Vanilla, and is likely cloud-hosted and managed by vanillaforums.com (loosely assumed by the lack of branding... a "perk" Hashtalk also enjoyed by opting for paid hosting)
you can see an example of a self-hosted* (branded) Vanilla installation at http://forum.hashtalk.org, although it doesn't take a rocket scientist to remove the branding from a self-hosted installation

both are open-source forums whose developers offer managed cloud hosting services

that's a GoDaddy load balancer handling parking pages like the one for hashtalk.com (184.168.221.32)

these are not the droids you're looking for

Cloudflare was/is their DNS provider (it also acts as a DDoS protection proxy as mentioned above, and CDN)

* [edit: looks like forum.hashtalk.org aka gawminers.vanillaforums.org is not "self-hosted", but could be the "starter" plan for $99/mo.. is that bill really still being paid when so many other things aren't?]

another brand new registration. nice form

everything's okay now! XPY is being backed by the sun itself..

i hope this was a joke..

idk about a "purchase" or a "patent" on Ganza's part (or if he knows what those terms mean), but he deserves approx 0 credit when it comes to using client-side proxies (the "malware" everyone is raving about.. it's not malware until a malicious actor gains control of it, but call Lenovo malicious if you want) to intercept (encrypted) traffic

part of DKIM signing is integrity verification like PGP. if something's fishy (body or sender changed, mail not really from that domain) then the sig won't match

http://9vx.org/~dho/dkim_validate.php is the first online tool i could find that checks signed mail for tampering. try it out if you like

i have held MRC since release and now i find out that i recently missed some arbitrary 1 month window to burn and convert to MRC2... what a rip

good luck reviving MRC though

little confused here... can't seem to pool mine

i started by generating a 200gb plot and setting up pocminer for solo, saw all the network messages (basetarget, height, generationsignature) and some shares being submitted

then i grabbed dcct-miner and pointed it to burst-pool.cryptoport.io and my plots directory, but the only output was "19mb read/209gb total/no deadline," and it climbed to "32mb read" over the next hour or so without saying anything else, so i killed it. i tried running it again, and it just shows "0mb read/0gb total/no deadline" now. what do the "mb total" and "mb read" bits indicate?

next, i set up burst-pool-miner the same way. it shows the familiar network messages, but has made no mention of shares after running for hours

my account is visible on the network, and i delegated the pool as my reward assignee. my plots directory indeed exists, is populated, and has 777 permissions on the directory and the plot file. neither miner throws any errors, but the pool website shows no indication that i'm mining

some help, please?

um, nah. it would be extremely obvious if the pools were pointing at an existing blockchain. the pools and the block explorer show without a reasonable doubt that the coin was brand new at the time of launch.

the wallet will be released after block 10,000 when PoW ends. keeping the wallet private enables enforcement of the 20MH/s limit.

the code quoted in the OP just describes how block rewards are calculated during the PoW phase.

maybe i'm making stupid assumptions, but what i took away from the OP is that the 500k IPO will be split proportionally among those who send BTC. if that's the case, the current value of 1 LIMI is 440 satoshis. in any event, i'm just happy to be mining something i can casually snatch a fair chunk of

that would be nice to know. if the funds raised by the IPO are going to be used to keep the value stable, that implies the addy is for an exchange that plans on listing LIMI.

wallet comes out after block 10,000 when PoW ends

LIMI's too new, i hear it's just a sausage fest

aha! most excellent

since almost nobody's turned on donations at the pools, i surely can't complain about a little PoS.

thanks again for your time, explanation, and hosting the pool ofc!

bookmarked for future quoting, thanks!

i would have expected PoS to be disabled until the public wallet release, since folks are obviously sensitive to these things, but oh well

any word on who's withdrawn coins? i just hope it's people who are supposed to have wallets.

(i wonder if abe could easily be modded to have filters for browsing PoW+PoS coins like this)

maybe?

there should only be 3-ish people with the wallet though... the creator(s) and the two pool operators. it *would* be pretty rude for any of them to be solo-mining, stake minting, or transferring coins to personal wallets. all of those things create an unfair advantage.

i'm also no blockchain expert, but those inconsistencies are pretty glaring, so it would be great to have someone clear the air.

it's just confusion, not FUD. even you said "count the blocks," and *afaik* every block so far should be mined, not minted.

if you could shed some light for those of us who don't have intimate knowledge of blockchains, that would be great!

[edit: i should be more careful with my words ]

well, this is looking kinda fail.

300+ blocks are now unaccounted for. (pool1 + pool2 != height)
seems someone withdrew 6,000 LIMI from one pool, and 15,000 LIMI from the other.
the blockchain keeps showing coins being sent.

any explanation?

[edit: i should be more careful with my words ]

thanks for the explorer! curious though...

why are those addys "transactions in" like 25 short of adding up to the current height?
why has one of those addys sent coins out, and who/where did they go to?

why were blocks 34, 40, and 50 solo-mined?
(http://blocks.suprnova.cc:2166/address/dV72bv8Ne8uwdKUJzXnVLs1Zh6wJipkvQk)

could you add a "heat" index or smth that scrapes post count (and maybe other metrics with or w/o graphs) from each coin's ann thread?
you could get pretty creative with a thing like that, and it would make it easier to pick a couple coins at a time to focus on

thanks! awesome site!

sgminer lacks GridSeed support, i'm more familiar with the cgminer codebase, sgminer dropped SHA suppport and baked in lots of code that makes it difficult to patch in new algorithms, i get better performance from cgminer 3.7.2 with Kalroth's tweaks, sgminer was susceptible to the client.reconnect exploit last time i checked (fixed by this commit in the latest build), R. M. Davidson's patches don't apply to sgminer out of the box, and my build would be a headache to break into pieces to migrate to sgminer + latest cgminer + misc cgminer forks for other algos. "switch to sgminer" may be a fine solution for many, but not for me today.

thanks! i'll drop a patch here when i track down the issue and get around to testing fixes.

similar in the sense that a large part of the userbase didn't like the new direction and chose to rebel against it, but this is free software. cgminer 3.7.2 is still actively improved upon, though unfortunately there's a distinct lack of collaboration among devs, (myself included. )

can anyone (kenshirothefist: *poke*) summarize the problem with cgminer 3.7.2 and NiceHash's scrypt pool, point out the breaking commit (between cgminer 3.1.1 and 3.7.2) or the fix (in sgminer) relating to it?

btw, great job on this service so far! it's great to see some innovative new pool ideas this year
