Nice! That brings up an interesting question for me. What happens if a block is repeated? Would it just be rejected, or would it cause a loop?

[Tron]

I'm still testing it (So it may not work very well), but if anyone wants a websocket that updates when the block or work changes you can use "ws://s2.galatical.com:8080" To receive a "NewBlock:<lastblock>" when there is a new block and "WorkChanged:<getwork>" when the work changes. The server updates 10 times per second, but I can speed this up if it is too slow.

EDIT: It now works and upon connection sends "LastBlock:<lastblock>" and then "Work:<getwork>" I don't really think I have anything left to add now, but if anyone has a suggestion I might be able to add it.

Neither, it would work as usual. I'm almost positive there have been many collisions by now. For mining purposes only 12 digits are used, but internally the hashes are 64 digits, so a real collision will never happen.

EDIT: Made it work, now I'm making it give you the work and block upon connection.

Ten requests a second to my node? 0_o

This is a great invention thing, but it's a sizable fraction of what the node handles anyways right now!

You should only really need to do getwork calls like once a minute - it's changed like fifty times, ever.

Do you plan on releasing a miner that utilizes this technology? A modification of the one you made in the CC mining days maybe?

I'll lower getwork to once a minute (EDIT: lowered.), should I lower lastblock to 2 or 5 times a second?

As for making a miner, I'll eventually modify Yevano's miner to use the websocket system.

EDIT: Ok that's weird... one of my getwork requests (That happen once every minute) returned the ceriat.net/krist page. Is this just a glitch or is my 10 lastblock requests a second too fast for it?

Hey Yevano, I downloaded your miner to my computer but whenever I try to run it nothing happens. Any idea why that's happening? I'm running Windows 7 and I already managed to get Grim's miner to work but I was hoping to try something faster. Did I miss some installation instructions maybe?

I don't think more than 1 request per second is necessary or particularly safe; a better idea might be to make my server contact yours when a block is found?

It don't know whether the plan was to only use this with ComputerCraft or not but I think a Bukkit plugin would be great. With a Bukkit plugin, even vanilla servers could use this and give their users the possibility to trade in Krist or to convert Krist to another ingame currency (but not vice versa). That would make Krist more popular. I would like to write a Bukkit plugin if I am not planning in the wrong direction.

Already have a BungeeCord Proxy Plugin, Making the bukkit plugin, just waiting for the API details from creator.

Ok I lowered it to once per second.

I'm not saying your way wouldn't work (It probably would work.) but if your server can contact mine wouldn't it be possible to instead contact the miners of new blocks?

Well, that would be a lot of requests. I was thinking about just waiting to respond to ?lastblock calls until a new block is actually found.

Might be best to make a ?newblock for that though, new miners will need the previous block.

And ?getworklong too.

My miner is a command line program. You'll have to open up command line in the folder where the jar is located and run "java -jar YTCIKristMiner.jar <args>". The first time you run it you can leave the args blank and the program will tell you what the arguments are.

Also, the program is compiled for Java 8 so if you get some weird error about a class version you need to update your Java.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! My MH/s rates on this are fantastic compared to Grim's.

Here's the source for my miner. I should rewrite it so it isn't so damn hard to read, but I'm too lazy for all that.

[Joelahughes]

could someone give me a link to a good krist miner?

http://yevano.me/shr...IKristMiner.jar is a good one by Yevano, he just posted the source at https://github.com/Y...tci-krist-miner as well.

By the way, how's the android krist wallet going?

I'm curious about this as well. I bring my tablet to school everyday, and I often want to check on my balance.

BTW: Yevano's miner definitely works for me. Grims didn't give me any blocks. +1 to you, Yevano!

[Joelahughes]

I think I am going to use Yevano's miner, thanks

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!

Whoa, did not notice that up until your post
That's pretty crazy.

Edit: Is there any way to know what was the value of the block I mined to get that?
Something like ?getblock=68309
