Hi all.

Sorry for not posting all this time, but I currently have a project that takes most of my time and honestly I didn't have time even for my family Smiley

Well, through this post, I would like to share my thought on how we're going to move from PoW only to hybrid PoW/PoS.

First of all, after I finish the required changes in code and migrate the blockchain, I'll leave the wallet running for at least a couple of days just to make sure that everything is working as it is supposed to.
When all tests are passed, an official mandatory upgrade release will be issued. Official nodes, exchanges, pools and other service providers will be the first to be notified so they to get the updated wallet code and have it compiled. The new wallet is going to disallow connection from old clients, so we avoid multiple forks, as previous version wallets will not be able to understand the new block structure and it's certain that they will fork.

Feel free to post any comments or clarifications you may have/need.


When are you going to launch PoS  ? any ETA?

Hi all,

As you all know there are now 3 developers: gruve_p, srcxxx and Mindfox.

gruve_p:
I am preparing to get another dev (Savale) on board, so we will be with 4 developers. We are awaiting his terms.
I saw that srcxxx has promised the community a p2pool. Unfortunately the person who was trying to make, let srcxxx down. I have asked a very known p2pool coder (dstorm) to create it for us as and the p2pool is ready (we have tested it on testnet and are testing it now mainnet). We will release it together with the PoW/PoS hybrid hardfork.
My friend Mogonzo (from chunkypools) has committed to us to create a multipool (sha-256, scrypt and x11) for us if we have many miners interested. Please let us know here. No response is no multipool.

srcxxx:
I have asked srcxxx to concentrate more on what he likes to do: coding. You won't be seeing him much active on forums except when needed. Right now he is busy to optimize our grs-sgminer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652849. After this he will be concentrating on creating a profit switching multipool (groestl based) for us.

Mindfox:
He is a very old friend of mine and one of the most trusted developers out there! I am very proud to have him onboard as he is considered one of the big brains in crypto's. At the moment Mindfox has no time to work full time with us that's why we agreed to work on a project basis. He is the dev of Clean Water coin and whitecoin. He also works on project basis for Cryptcoin.
Project 1: Mindfox is the leading dev to the PoW/PoS hybrid transaction. In order to get to PoW/PoS hybrid we need to hardfork again, which was planned at block 150.000. Due to personal circumstances (and accusations by the Cryptcoin community) he has no time to start on this. This means that we would have to delay the PoW/PoS hardfork with a week. If you have any questions regarding the PoS (min agestake, max age stake, annual interest) feel free to ask him as he is the one deciding what would the best.
As a bonus for the delay he promised us to give Advanced Coin control in the wallet. And if he really has a good day, perhaps we can get a much more sexier wallet.
Project 2: Mindfox is also the leading dev of decentralized anon (not the centralized masternode anon but real p2p anon) called groestlsend. After he finishes the anon on Cryptcoin, he will hopefully start groestlsend.
I have asked Mindfox to officially introduce himself here and give us an update on this upcoming hardfork (what new block we will hardfork and what we can expect).

After the poW/PoS hardfork I have asked a team of marketers to help us get accepted to several sites. And they are eager to start with it.

Rest assured, we will give updates on a more frequent basis.

^ now THAT would, indeed, be great news! Can any other miners confirm this?

Listen guys, I have checked this and new drivers ARE A TRUE POISON. At least when Groestlcoin is in question THE SPEED OF HASHING IS ALMOST DUPLICATED!

On R9 280x my previous hash rate was 6.8 MH/s. Now it's 11.43 MH/s.

Fans on the card are not cranking - but rather wheezing with a very high pitch and started to radiate a serious heat. Who says Groestl is friendly to the cards...

How to achieve this result:

1. Get yourself BAMT 1.6.0 (or any other 32-bit Linux distro will do):

http://www.reddit.com/r/BAMT/comments/207rdz/release_bamt_v160_scrypt_scryptn_darkcoin/

2. Get yourself a decent sgminer-sph, I am using this one:

https://github.com/badman74/sph-sgminer

3. Get yourself the latest AMD 14.6 drivers, files are the follows:
linux-amd-catalyst-14.6-beta-v1.0-may23.zip
AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-lnx32.tgz
ADL_SDK.zip

4. Now, uninstall old drivers, reinstall new drivers, RECOMPILE THE SGMINER:

The EXACT procedure is noted here:
http://rumorscity.com/2013/12/08/amd-display-driver-update-for-r9-290x-on-bamt-litecoin-miner/

NOTE:  Please follow the procedure EXACTLY.

5. DELETE the old compiled CL file, which is usually hidden here:
/opt/miners/sgminer-4.1.0-sph

NOTE: The key to enhanced performance is hidden in NEW on-the-fly re-compilation of .cl files.

6. Everything else is as usual. Mine cards speeds up to 11.43 MH/s:

http://www.kapion.si/Mining-gro.jpg

7. Parameters I am using:
  core_speed_0: 300
  core_speed_1: 1140
  core_speed_2: 1140
  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 1000
  mem_speed_2: 1000
  core_voltage_0: 1.131
  core_voltage_1: 1.131
  core_voltage_2: 1.131

8. Config file I am using (partial print):
    "auto-fan" : true,
    "gpu-fan": "30-99",
    "temp-cutoff" : "95",
    "temp-overheat" : "85",
    "temp-target" : "79",
    "worksize": "256",
    "intensity" : "20",
    "gpu-threads" : "1",
    "thread-concurrency" : "8192",
    "lookup-gap" : "2",
    "vectors" : "1",
    "shaders" : "2048",
    "api-port": "4028",
    "api-listen": true,
    "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1",
    "failover-only" : true,
    "no-pool-disable": true,
    "no-submit-stale" : true,
    "queue": "0",
    "log" : "5",
    "gpu-powertune" : "20",
    "algorithm" : "groestlcoin",
    "kernel-path": "/usr/local/bin"






Could you please post the updated sgminer with updated .CLs?

this fork will be terrible...
is much benefit for the first miners...
this is not fair for news miners  Sad

You dont need to mine it, just buy it while it is cheap, i mean very cheap.

4000 Mhs is back again. He alone makes for the half of the pool. He would easily dump all of his coins Undecided

Well 8000 mhs would mean ,that he has at least 900 R9 290. Even if he had that many , why would he mine Grø? there are  way more profitable coins.
