Suddenly decided to wait until KristWallet 12

On the topic of KW 12 and KristScape, any info about kristscape's pre-release?

No release date or anything, but the prerelease won't be fully functional or publicized. There'll probably be a lot of development versions made available before we actually release this thing. When we do, I'll completely revamp the OP to appeal to the masses and such.

The prerelease will be made available before my hosting and wiki sites, though.

Anyone have any GPU miners that work with AMD? Would like to mine faster.

If you want a miner that uses your GPU and is card independent, I recommend checking out "LWJGL".

While I'm at it, I feel bad about litterally wasting the difficulty yesterday, so I'm going to put 60k straight into random domains.

Were you the sneaky sneak that tricked the node into accepting those trash blocks?
I would appreciate a PM explaining how you did that... you know, if you want to share the details

I sent you a PM regarding this, though it may not be quite what you expect.

We'll be going down for maintenance at 00:00 5/16 UTC ;P

[Abahu]

I have solved like 38 blocks (it told me so..) but I did not get a reward. I just now checked and saw that you're down for maintenance. Is that why?

I don't think so either, now that I look at it again. Now I'm just confused... When it says I mined a block, does that not mean I solved it?

I'm getting the same issue as TrumpetMiner -- I mined a block and got no krist.

The "blocks solved" field does not equate to blocks that were accepted by the network. You may solve a block, but only after someone else solved a block, and before you made a ?lastblock call. Only one block can be the successor to the one before it, and only one will be worth Krist.

[Yevano]

I'd like to announce that I'm opening up a savings and loans bank for krist (Krist Savings & Loans). For now, everything will be done by email but if it catches some interest I may create some sort of web interface type thing for it.

Spoiler

The bank email is [email protected]
The bank krist address is kutlg1kzhz. (this may change quite soon)

To become a member, send an email to the bank email stating that you would like to become a member. This email should also contain up to 10 addresses which you would like to have registered with the account. The email which you use will be saved as the email bound to your bank account. You will be sent a reply asking you to send 1KST from each address for verification purposes. For security, do not send the 1KST for each account until you get this email. Once your request has been processed, you will receive back your verification payment and you can begin banking.

You may change the addresses registered with your account at any time by verifying them in the same way as the above process.

Money is handled in parts as small as 1 millionth of 1KST. Any calculations done on your money will round to the nearest millionth unless specified otherwise. You may not withdraw a non-integer amount of KST, but you may transfer such an amount.

To make a deposit, send the desired amount to the bank krist address and then send an email to the bank containing your addresses that you sent money from, the amounts that you sent, and the krist address you sent them to. The latter is for verification in case the bank krist address is changed.

To transfer money to another bank account, send the amount you would like to send and the email of the account you would like to send money to.

To withdraw is the same as depositing, just make sure you say you want to withdraw and to what addresses and how much.

Interest on savings accounts accrues once every 30 days. The normal interest rate is 3%. Withdrawals can be done at any time.

The normal interest rate for loans is 8%.

To request a loan, send the addresses and amounts you wish to receive, a statement detailing the reason for borrowing, and the time needed to pay back the loan. If your request for a loan does not impress as being reasonably safe, your request may be denied. You may appeal for the same loan any number of times, but please wait at least 1 week to appeal.

You can request your account to be cancelled at any time. If you do not specify an address, your money will be sent to your first listed address in full. No interest will be added onto your money as a result of cancellation and you will lose any amount under 1KST.

I'm only one person so if you want to make multiple kinds of requests, please put them all in one email. As well, I will consider an unreasonably large amount of request emails at one time to be spam and I will ignore them.

Please do not create multiple accounts for yourself.

Okay, so when it says I solved "492" blocks and my balance stays the same, it means that someone else got the block before me? It seems like no one can get anything, then <.<

I almost never see this. If you have 492 blocks, I'm sorry, but the miner must suck. Use mine or (preferably) Yevanos. It should work.

Well, I'll bet there's about 2 people using it right now, he did say he'd make it automatic (or at least I interpret it to be so) if it catches on.

I was using Grimm's Miner. Hm. I'll try Yevano's now.

[Xerxes]

I have a preposition to make.
To solve the issue with requesting ?getwork too slowly.

Instead of an HTTP based API, why don't we use sockets? It would be way more efficient.

If that isn't an option, then make a ?getworklong option.
This option can be a long-polled version of ?getwork.

When you make a request to ?getworklong, it won't respond until it actually has data to send you.

So, it will hang until the next block.
Once the next block comes, then it will send you it.
Your client will then re-connect and repeat the process.

Everybody should receive the new work roughly instantly, with a minimal amount of requests.

This is pretty much in the same vein as the idea I had of long polling for events, though my idea was that it would be for any sort of event which occurs.

Maybe something like this?

?long=e1;e2;e3;...
Wait for multiple events to occur. Returns the event which occurred, followed by a colon, followed by the event data.
e.g.
Send: ?long=workchange
Returns: workchange:200000

What events would even be needed?

Getwork is the only API request I know that has to be requested continuously.

[Yevano]

You would also want events for block change, tracking transactions, etc. Not necessarily for mining (though block change would be nice for mining), but just to have a complete API.

[NathanAdhitya]

Boi o boi, Krist is getting bigger, more users.
Hope for your success, coss.

[3d6]

I will definitely look into that. It should make mining way easier for the miner and the node.

95,395 transactions so far, and 169 names

[3d6]

Block 68310 has a hash of 000000000001, the lowest ever found by a Krist miner! It would be accepted even if ?getwork was 1!
Eleven leading zeroes, by kanavi35hk. Congratulations!
