Let’s talk about difficulty. There are a lot of people who are keen to see a technical change to the way that difficulty is handled. These requests are down to Feathercoin being at a high difficulty compared to the amount of hash power on the network.

One proposal is a difficulty adjust every 504 blocks and at a difference of 40% maximum.

There have been some interesting suggestions put forward that would take more time to implement and test than it would take for us to get out of the current high difficulty. Perhaps the solution is an involved one and will not be seen soon.

Miners are important but there is already a lot of coins in circulation. A dry spell in new coins does not mean the end of the coin. So do not get too worried about this.

Even if a fix takes longer to implement than this current difficulty spell, what about the next one, or the one after that?

If FTC stays somewhat valuable, this will continue.

I think it is worth investigating fixes -whether or not they get implemented is ultimately up to the populus.

the problem is solved. give-me-ltc is the most trusted ltc pool and now give-me-ftc exists.

there is no code change needed. we just needed to make our case.

trust me on this.

send everybody to serraz’s give-me-ftc.com pool. he has anti ddos measures, security measures. not just a fly by night shop.

How exactly will this fix anything with the difficulty/transfer time. Solo Mine, pool Mine, whatever, diff is still the same. Transactions do not go any faster there vs. any other pool.

About time my state was represented. Houston here.

Fixed a small issue that caused a few autopayouts to be delayed a few hours.

One thing to note is this: If you only send/receive coins, but do not create additional addresses, additional backups are not required.

Okay thanks, there are some lines where there is “infinity” what do I do about that? How do I work out the speed? Add them all together and divide by 60?

Or can I just use this:

[/quote]

your command gets (from the last 60, only 1 data point).

You will need to take the 60 from the previous one, validate that the number is a valid number), and turn that into the hashrate. I do not have my notes on that in front of me, but essentially take the average, and from that, plug it into the hashrate formula (something like H = h / t)

Format it like the following.

[s]Manual payouts disabled again. My baindaid did not stop the issue. Will deal with it later, once I calm down about it.

For now, use automatic payouts.[/s]

Manual Payouts have been fixed and reenabled.

Adding captcha does not solve it, will have to rewrite the code to be cron-based.

Is there a change in miner protocol? My CPU miners are having massive connect issues. I’m going to have to go find another pool.

“Couldn’t connect. Please check pool server and port”

Been happening for about 3 days now.

Will come back if you get it fixed

[s]All my miners are going fine…

What miner are you using? Are you using stratum or LP?[/s]

I found an intermittent issue I believe you were talking about. That has been fixed.

For what my phone cost I would rather not reduce its lifespan for no real reason.
[/quote]

It is more of a novelty or proof of concept. It would not be profitable even if the phone was free I would imagine.

I really want to use this…but I hate having to hand over my cell number/verification documents to companies that are clearly forwarding them over to the feds in order to be considered “legitimate” businesses. If and when the shit really hits the fan with crypto and the law, this is not going to be fun. Am I wrong to be paranoid about this?

any website not requesting such information running off of FIAT (at least in the US), will either A) be taken down, or b) be taken down eventually.
