https://hddcoin.org/ another fork, goes live @ 8pm EDT and i'm not doing pools on chia at this time.

seems to be back now.

is your cgn still synced? mine stopped farming around 10:28am this morning I noticed. restarted the client and it's stuck at 'not synced' block height 295417, and all the peers I see on the screen have the same height. something break somewhere else? looks like i'm not the only one who's noticed. also... Difficulty 4028610604171264 somebody shut the chain down for the moment I guess? that's 229*2^44 btw.

Sync status: Synced -Total Balance: 2.000001500136 xch (2000001500136 mojo) Sync status: Not synced -Total Balance: 6.0 xfx (6000000000000 mojo) Sync status: Synced -Total Balance: 2000.0 cgn (2000000000000000 mio) Sync status: Not synced -Total Balance: 40.0 spare (40000000000000 graviton) Sync status: Not synced -Total Balance: 12.0 xgj (12000000000000 moji) Sync status: Not synced -Total Balance: 12.0 xse (12000000000000 mojo) How u doin.

knock on wood, but it's been almost 24 hours since the last farmer "crash" of any flavor.

I used mine up a while ago.

yea I think i'm ordering some SSDs tonight after I get back from fireworks.

what I stare at while working on all this plotting thing.

here's another brain nugget for y'all... *IF* you use CLI to start the services, and you KILL the command window you started them in, you'll KILL the coin processes. Sometimes, you can't even KILL the command window, so you task manager DEAD the thing, and all of the sudden everything you've touched in that window, stops working. poor programming.

think the biggest problem I see with all this, is the conversion of any of these into something useful. at the end of the day, all these coins need to be turned into the standard bearer of currency across the globe... the all mighty U.S. Dollar. love it or hate it, but I don't see many places around here taking any kind of coin for payment. *some* places online will take them, like the bullion stores I shop, but that's it.

have been seeing 100% usage on the task manager, but data throughput is < 10MB/s up or down.

starting to wonder, maybe it's the "boot" drive in the machine. perhaps 12 total databases, getting pounded by all those processes, is a bit too much for an old 250GB SATA2 2.5" 5400rpm rust drive. might have to break out the spare 500GB SSD I have here, and plug that in, and move the install to that.

still fighting with daemons that keep crashing. this time it was flax and goji.

also just noticed, spare and chain have the same UI port as chia. probably not helping matters, so I changed it spare 8322 chain 8422

https://www.silicoin.cc/faucet note, it's still in testnet phase.

I keep having spare lose its daemon, and it stops passing plots.

stupid as in, they didn't change things that needed changing, if you're going to run it in parallel with other farmers. started looking at the windows sandbox function, to see if that can't be used to run each farmer in its own sandbox, without having to dicker with the config files. probably not though.

I dug into the config for silicoin... stay away. it's all kinds of wonky stupid in there.

oh the green ones on spare, are the ones I changed myself, as the OEM values matched chia.

if you're going to run silicoin on the same install as chia and spare, you'll need to make changes to the config.yaml, otherwise it'll walk all over things.

just ran some extension cords, and power split my garage setup. 2 DL380G6 boxes on one line. 1 DL380G6 and the old farm box on the other line. they're on opposite phases as well.

Ok. Was hoping to use CLI to kick start everything on a reboot, so I didn't have to babysit the box if it barfs. might have to find me a copy of this LTSC flavor.

Whisky Tango Foxtrot?

wonder if i can get any of these running on a win 7 embedded install. I've used that in the past, as a base for certain apps that I want sandboxed, need to run under windows, but don't want to take up a ton of space for no good reason. base OS is < 2GB. as of right now, flax, chaingreen, spare, goji, and seno are farming on one machine. (GUIs are being retarded, but I can see in the logs that plots are passing filter, so i'm leaving it alone for now.) another machine is farming chia, and i'm attempting to get silicoin going on it.

so that'll make the 6th fork. the new protocol won't invalidate the old plots will it? damn they got LAZY. didn't even change the name of the executable! and, they didn't change all the ports. a lot are a match for SPARE.
