Title: RandomHash looks like a failure already after 8 hours of mining.
Post by: Skybuck on November 15, 2018, 07:00:52 AM
Well after 8 hours of mining with 3 computers I can now safely say RandomHash is a bit fat failure as predicted by me from the very start !.

(No blocks were mined).

The failure so far:

1. It's being "GPU-ed" from day -5 or so.

2. It's still being pool mined, just woke up and low and behold china is back with F2Pool mining pool. All your base now belong to china lol. Hash rate is 1.5 million / sec already.

The only I could have done different maybe is pool the 3 computers together instead of running them individually, though it might not have made much difference.

One last experiment could be to "hack" the algorithm a little bit to see if there is a way to cheat it a bit, may try so later today or tomorrow, if that fails to then I am kinda done with RandomHash.

With 1.5 million hash rate it will become a little bit hard to cheat it with one computer though still doable maybe.

So my hunch that this would only unnecessary complexify PascalCoin has become a reality, it has solved nothing and just unnecessarily made PascalCoin more complex, more bug prone, more risky, these bugs in randomhash have to yet still be found though, that the fun part Wink Smiley

Adapters of laptop did run a bit warm... but nothing yet to cause a fire ! Wink

(For now the distribution of coins is a little bit better than before though... but this probably won't last long as mining pools become bigger, also where is nanopool ? LOL and Coin-O-Tron ?)

(I also could do one pooling experiment and try to pool mine with 3 computers see if that makes any difference Wink)
