π Duino-Coin 4th birthday
August in Duino-world always brings something special as it's the month Duino-Coin was made back in 2019.
This year we're celebrating our 4th birthday and we're hoping to post a few exciting announcements over the next few weeks.
π Let's start with the refreshed online wallet I've been hard-working on for the past two weeks. Most importantly it will look and work much better on mobile now and the desktop look has also been unified and decluttered.
It's as best I could do with my current knowledge, but thanks to my sick ambitions I'm not stopping there and as long as I'll have time I'll be working hard to keep up the progress π
Stay tuned for more announcements, cya

REMEMBER ABOUT THE MINING KEYβ
Just a quick reminder - make sure to have a mining key enabled on your account! Without it, someone can mine on your account and get you in trouble.
Huge thanks to everyone who preordered the Duino STARTER!
Over 2 weeks we've sold 104 units in a total of 52 orders. 30 orders have already been fulfilled and the rest will be made and sent within the next 2-4 weeks (as a reminder - I'm making them at home π)
In case someone is late to the party, preorder is still available for the next 30 minutes on preorder.duinocoin.com.
There won't be a second chance to get the preorder perks again and after it's over you won't be able to buy any new starters (at least for now).
First 5 orders have been sent last week and are currently in transit. Next 13 orders will be sent out tomorrow π
Remember to reply to our e-mail about claiming your account bonuses!

In a few days we'll e-mail you about your Duino-Coin usernames to give you a special account status.
π If you're thinking of getting your own Starter, preorder is still available on preorder.duinocoin.com
Duino Starter is here!
π Everyone please say hello to Duino Starter! After almost three years of you asking there's finally an official mining solution available as preorder(shipping starts in 2/3 weeks).
β How is it different from "typical" mining boards?
Cheap. Base version costs around 6 euros. π°
Expandable. We're planning to release a Duino HUB that will allow you to join and monitor multiple Starters. π
Official. Starters come preloaded with custom Duino-Coin code and devices will get lifetime support + you support us π
No PC required to configure. βπ»
With OTA out of the box. You can upload new code wirelessly. βοΈ
Of course this is just a brief summary. Take a look at the preorder page for more info.
π Sounds interesting. Where do I find it? Visit preorder.duinocoin.com for more info!
βΉοΈ Please note that the preorder version will be only available for shipment inside the EU. Rest of the world will be able to purchase a virtual package with all the necessary files to build a starter or IOpro.
My classmate's family needs your help!Edit 28.05: Follow up to the situation from yesterday - the family is taken care of and is receiving lots of support. A fundraising page has been created. If anyone has some spare cents - you're welcome to help! pomagam.pl/wrrw6n 27.05: I've just received a phone call from my friend saying that one of my classmates house has literally burned down and this is not a joke. They will most certainly need some help, mostly financial and in the upcoming days a verified fundraiser will be created. Best of luck to him and his family, I hope we will be able to help at least a bit.
FluffySwap welcomes Monero and DogecoinFluffySwap.com now accepts Monero (XMR) and Dogecoin (DOGE) as input coins!
Moreover, you get a 10% BUY BONUS when buying DUCO on FluffySwap for the next two weeks!
Release 3.5 is out!
Download the new release to enjoy all the recent bugfixes and improvements, to name a few: Arduino Code has been revamped by @dexter3k#8710 and gives 1.4x more performance; in the AVR Miner you can finally name each board separately. Get it from our GitHub. Updating to this release is not necessary, but we advise to be up-to-date.
Keep an eye out for scamsβ
Friendly reminder! The only official domain is duinocoin.com β
We're aware that new phishing attempts have popped up lately using the correct duinocoin name, but with a different domainβ
π Please double check if the wallet you're using is on the wallet.duinocoin.com domain, not anything else.
π If you believe you've fallen victim to this scam, change your passwords as soon as possible (not only on Duino-Coin) and keep an eye out.
You can also ask someone from the administration if you need more help β
Migration from SHA-1 (April fools)
Due to a new change we have implemented, Duino-Coin will be migrating away from the SHA-1 algorithm to SHA-4. As a result, miners will no longer be able to use Arduino hardware to mine. Instead, users will have to resort to paper and pencil mining. This change will take effect on April 4th, 2023.
The decision to move away from SHA-1 was made out of safety concerns, as the SHA-1 algorithm has been found to be vulnerable to worms and viruses, which can infect your miners and the Duino network as a whole with fever. Additionally, the use of outdated mining hardware can lead to instability in the network and is generally not recommended.
We understand that this change may be inconvenient for some miners, and we apologize for any disruption this may cause. However, the security of Duino miners and the Duino-Coin network must remain a top priority.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Edit: April fools!
Activity summary
Hey there! Just letting everyone know about the latest work from my side. I was busy last month with renovation of my room (suspended ceiling, completely new electrical work, floor panels.. took some time :P) Anyway, here's what's new:
New mining node: Micro-node-1 (hosted in Finland, operated by me), for now it's a test of a new hosting service, possibly the star-node will be moved to the same hosting
Sync improvements: transactions and balances now use checkpoints to sync quite a bit faster between our API servers with better performancce
Kolka trust score, an extension of the current verification and warning system will be released in the upcoming days/week(s). Users with high trust score will even gain exchange and mining bonuses
Store notice
Due to issues with Teespring, aka Spring nowadays (e.g. parcels being untracked, print quality getting worse and unexpected import duties) the Duino-Coin store will be moved to Bonfire in the upcoming days.
π Release 3.4 is out
A new release is out with all improvements done since the last one (3.33) released in October. Updating to this release is optional; GitHub link
iNFTernet has launched!
Hello everyone! Today I'd like to announce a new project made by me and @Pakiezel!
π iNFTernet, a site where you can buy and trade cells with cryptocurrencies π
π Once bought, a cell will be always yours, unless you decide to sell it on the marketπ°
π Each cell can be customized to your liking with images and texts! π·
Interested in owning a piece of the internet?
π See you at infter.net!
Beware of fake websites!
Attention! There are fake Duino wallet websites (e.g. wallet.duinocoin.pp.ua β οΈ) that are phishing attempts to steal your account. Some users have already fell victim to this but we were able to revert most of the transactions. DO NOT LOGIN ON ANY UNOFFICIAL WEBSITES!
The only official wallet is wallet.duinocoin.com and the Duino-Coin Companion app on Google Play.
We will be taking steps about this situation shortly.
Merry Christmas! π The Duino Team wishes you a great holiday, lots of presents and all the best wishes for the upcoming year!On the Discord server you can find a 20x500 DUCO giveaway and a new mining rig contest!
Spooky halloween everyone! Guinea pigs are awesome β€οΈ

πDuino-Coin troubleshooting video by Pakiezel
@Pakiezel just posted a troubleshooting video that may help if you face problems. Besides that, we're starting weekly events. This week all PC miners got a 10% reward boost and there's a contest for the best spooky rig posted on our Discord π»
WIZnet recently made an example hardware of a Duino-coin miner board; they will be showing it off at the next Raspberry Pi Event in UK π¬π§ next weekend. More info about it can be found on their GitHub and this YouTube video.
πAchievement systemAchievement system has been added to all Duino-Coin accounts.
For now, a limited amount of them is available, but we'll be adding much more of them in the upcoming days π
You can find them by clicking the new π symbol in your wallet. P.S. Some achievements give rewards! π
βοΈMy new project is out!
Tired of playing around with different exchange services? Let us do the job for you. FluffySwap is a very fast and simple crypto exchange with current market rates - visit the page for more info! P.S. Duino-Coin is listed!
P.P.S. Even more coins will be coming in the following days, I need to rest a bit now :D
βNew getting started guides finally availableMore descriptive steps with GIFs and config creators for ESP8266/32 will be excellent for newcomers. This took me a long time to make, and there are definitely things to improve, but I'll leave it to you guys - things are (as always) on GitHub
- try them yourself!
πLimited merch
On our store you can now find new designs celebrating our third anniversary. They will disappear from the site when August ends, so don't wait for too long!
Some of the designs were designed by @Pakiezel - kudos to him!
β‘Webminer update & dream-pool noticeThe Official Web Miner now has midstate caching (like the regular PC Miner) making it at least twice as fast. Dream-pool-1 has been removed from the node list as the owner didn't update it or respond for three months. Anyone mining on it should restart their miners so they reconnect to a working node.
πΌDuino-Coin interview on Bitcourier
New interview with me (revox) about Duino-Coin is now available on Bitcourier - read it here.
Huge thanks to @chris for interviewing me!
πThe Duino Mini Miner
The Duino-Coin Mini Miner has been released in alpha testing stage!
π What is it? It's a bare-bones webminer that uses only older technology (e.g. HTML 4.0) and is designed to run on limited devices such as old mobile phones! More information below.
π Can it run on my Nokia? possibly yes! I'm successfully mining with a Nokia Lumia 610 and a Samsung GT-S3350 (released in 2010!)
π How to start? get an internet connection and navigate to https://server.duinocoin.com/miniminer.html (HTTPS) or http://51.15.127.80/miniminer.html (HTTP) on your phone!

βοΈ Watch Duino-Coin mining rig with build instructions and PCB gerber files by @luigigastinel: youtu.be./F1dyvEADuUI
Hey, so to be honest I'd like to apologize - Kolka rewards haven't been working correctly for a few weeks or even months.
Since Bilaboz is working on (yet another!) database migration on the main server which should make it even smoother, I thought I will take a look at the kolka % drop issues you guys reported in the forms created by Yennefer.
After I did some testing with multiple miners the results were way off from the expected numbers.
I pushed a few changes (really small - no wonder I didn't notice them earlier!) to the pools code an now it seems to work properly. I'm currently updating all the nodes I have access to (all excluding diskos and dream, they will take a bit longer to update) that should, at least mostly, fix the kolka issues. Sorry for that, I'll also take a look at other issues asap.
πReport current problems
Hi again! I've got a survey for you again, but this one is different. Please tell us what problems are you facing now (if any). We already knew about your main problems with Duino-Coin, but I want to know with my team what are you going through currently.

β Duino IoT BetaDuino IoT is now publicly available in beta phase. You can connect a thermometer or other sensor to your device and have the information displayed directly in your wallet! For now we have a basic, official support for temperature+humidity sensor (DHT11/22). To use it, download the latest ESP8266/32 code source and follow the code comments. More sensors and options will be supported in the future (we're open for feedback!)

πΈDuino-Coin Mini documentary
@Pakiezel made first ever short documentary about Duino-Coin telling the story of how it all started based on insights from the lead devs!
Additionally, in the web wallet shop you can now find items that can slightly boost your Kolka rewards. Please note this feature is still experimental and may be changed/adjusted (or removed) in the near future.
A few short updatesTransactions from faucets and bots will now use xxhash hashes instead of sha1 to save space - 40 bytes is really a lot for non-important transactions when we take into consideration a few transactions a minute sometimes. As many of you also noticed, you can now use the item shop inside the Web Wallet (which also should be more optimized and work better since a few days) in which you will be able to buy various items and services that will change some things about your Duino-Coin account. For now the changes are only cosmetic but soon we will introduce buyable kolka upgrades and similar stuff (we're open for suggestions!). Since I'm already here, it's worth noting that release 3.1 (or 3.2, depends) will be released in the upcoming weeks, aiming to provide even more security with mining. Many of you probably saw that there's not much development going on lately, but you should know that we also have school and/or work to take care of first; also - if something works well enough there's no need to change it - for now. Have a good day/night!
πHappy intl women's day and mining key introductionThe Duino Team sends the best wishes to all woman's in our communities! Remember you're wonderful and adorable, strong and sweet - and most importantly, you're all the best!!!! Happy international women's day 𧑠You can now setup a separate mining password (key) for better security. Read more about it in the my miners section in your web wallet. This is not a breaking change - older miners can specify their password in the rig name after a colon (:) and setting a mining key is not required, although recommended.
Infos
Hey everyone! Long time no see, huh? Firstly, wanted to let you all know officially that we support Ukraine and we will try to help much as we can when it helps to helping them even by donating, but we won't be blocking any countries anymore as Duino-Coin is meant to be for everyone and "regular" people are not to blame for the conflict. Second, we know the russian-speaking Duino community always had trouble organizing in the english channels of our Discord and many unofficial groups appeared. This lead to spreading misinformation or falling into scams these groups made, so with the kindness of Dechimmo and a few other users, we decided to make their server an official place for russian speaking users: discord.gg/nn9zFeKuPn Next thing - as some of you probably saw already, revox introduced Duino staking yesterday. You can freeze your DUCOs to earn passive rewards; this process helps in controlling the coin circulation, the effects of which should become clear in the future. See the online wallet for more info. Last but not least, we'd like to apologize for not much going on with the development lately, but we all are pretty busy with school and work. This doesn't mean new things aren't coming - we are preparing some Kolka updates, Internet of Things integrations, Coin Magi updates and other various improvements.
That's it for now, stay safe and have a great day!

Happy valentine's day!
Hello everyone! What a lovely day today π
We'd like to announce that ducopay by @issechan is ready to be used in alpha state. It's a payment gateway for Duino (something like PayPal) that allows easy payment integrations. Read more about it here.
Second thing we'd like to share is a new user to user, decentralized exchange - Furime P2P by @Furim. You can trade duino and tron (and soon nano) with other users. No limits, no fixed prices - have fun: exchange.furim.xyz.
Lastly, the whole Duino-Coin Team wishes you all a happy valentine's day, whether you celebrate it with someone or alone, you can always take part in a new giveaway starting in π-giveaways channel of or Discord soon π₯°
P.S. Node-S exchange is shutting down as @Connor2 (the Node-S owner) does not have enough time to focus on it. Please withdraw your DUCO from it as soon as possible.
Latest informations
Thanks everyone who wished me happy birthday - I really appreciate it! I hope stuff won't get too difficult since I'm 18 now, but we will see.
As announced, since yesterday, the 2.X miners are deprecated. Ldarki has recently added a session token instead of passwords to stop you guys complaining that they're stored inside cookies. As a result you need to unfortunately login every hour. I still don't know what was wrong with the previous method and I never received a good response from anyone complaining, but oh well. Info from Yanis, the tokenized DUCO chains maintainer: bscDUCO now has a wrap fee (and minimum wrap) of 500 DUCO, which is meant to cover operating costs (over the last year we spent over 1000$ paying YOUR fees).
If you try to wrap an amount BELOW 500 DUCO, it will be returned to your account. Furim has recently released a beta version of his chat app based on Duino-Coin - chat.furim.xyz.
Release 3.0 is out
Huge release 3.0 is finally out. It includes a lot of performance improvements in comparison to the 2.X version, for example a Raspberry Pi 4 should now achieve up to 9 MH/s, an Arduino performs 220 H/s, ESP boards self-host a mini dashboard for quick health checks, etc. Full changelog and download links are available on GitHub. Note: upgrading to this release is required. Servers will stop accepting version 2.X miners in a few weeks.
Beware of fake Duino-Coin profiles
Since we're getting more and more popular, more phishing and Duino impersionation attempts show up. Plase be warned that the only official Duino social media are Reddit, Discord and Twitter.
For example, there's a russian Instagram account that is sending other people's photos from Discord, promoting some NFT scams and even saying Duino-Coin was created by them.
I have reached out to them to ask why they're publishing other people content and making it seem like it's an official account, as a response he told me he's advertising duino and I should be thankful he doesn't want anything in return. I suggest reporting them π€·ββοΈ π www.instagram.com/duinocoin_ru Edit: as @SprinteR suggested, a good option may be for people who posted on mining-rigs channel to report him for using their photos without permission
Possible API issues
We are aware of the periodic inacessibility of duino coin APIs last days, this is because we're gaining popularity faster than we can keep up, but we're doing what we can.
Yesterday I made the API load balanced with multiple servers which should, once working correctly, help a lot with the performance.
If anyone is concerned about mining - pools are separate servers and they will always retry to sync your mining rewards as soon as they can. Release 3.0 may be delayed by a few days as I'm still waiting for my ESP32 to arrive - I need to work on something for it myself. If this will be taking too long, we will release version 2.9 with just the Raspberry Pi buffs. Sorry for all problems and thanks for understanding! β€οΈ
Goodbye 2021!
Thanks everyone for really amazing 2021, Duino expanded like never before - we started the year will just over a thousand members and now we're at 30 times more, same with Discord members.
We got listed on SunSwap, PancakeSwap and SushiSwap; had loooots of tough situations to go through and problems to solve, but the best thing is we learned a lot thanks to them.
Duino will be three years old in the upcoming year, and the fact it's doing better than ever overall still blows my mind.
While I'm on it, I'd also like to thank everyone from the administration for constant help, care and support - it's better together!
I'll be hosting a giveaway in the #π-giveaways channel on Discord, for now that's it, but prepare for strong start of the new year :3
2021 is almost over so expect a bigger message will appear in the upcoming days. For now, relax watching some quality Duino-related videos. Release 3.0 coming at the beginning of january.
New designs in our store
Christmas is slowly approaching so it may be a great idea to buy yourself (or someone!) some Duino (& Magi) related merch!
Today a few new designs have been added and the price of some items has been lowered in our official store - see for yourself: store.duinocoin.com!
UpdatesKolka rules have been updated yesterday according to suggestions we've received. Now, the kolka drop starts on the 4th miner instead of the 1st one. Additionally latency to the pools should be improved now. I'm also reminding that the issue reward (described below in the news) is still going. @ProtoThis released a new Duino-Coin Android app that in the future will support both Magi and Duco -
get the beta version from Google Play
Bounties for bug finders (and bug fixers)
As we announced some time ago, we're starting the bounty project for anyone that can find issues or fix them. We also think it's a great accomplishment you will be able to flex with, so check if you see anything that can be improved. If you will do well, we may even invite you to the development team. What's rewarded?
- serious bugs or issues that can lead to potential security faults or other harmful situations (Mostly node/pool codes)
- less important software bugs (PC Miner, AVR Miner, wallets) that make using duco less enjoyable
- missing documentation, inconsistent translations, site improvements - anything that could be improved
- any issue you fix by submitting a pull request/commit (that is 'good' quality) will also be get rewarded
- well described feature requests or possible improvements How to organize the issues?
Use our GitHub repository for submitting issues and pull requests. Make sure you include you DUCO username and tell that you're taking part in the bounty. You can ping me or other devs on GitHub so I can review the changes and reward you. What are the rewards?
Depending on how serious the issue is (or the quality of your fix for it) we will be sending 5 to 5000 DUCO to each participant. Happy developing!
Release 2.7.4 is out
For changelog see the GitHub page. Grab the new release
here. Raspberry Pi users can update by typing git pull in the Terminal while being in the duino-coin directory
UpdatesRewards back to normal, community poll about new efficiency drop %s coming soon. Exchange rates adjusted (but it's only the beginning) You guys depleted ALL of TRX and BCH liquidity (around 300$ total), congrats. Now I know I shouldn't have done that. New work organization for the team in progress. Volounteers welcome - see if you can do anything on GitHub. New release coming soon too.
Web Wallet refresh
The online wallet look has been refreshed, mainly to make the miner section more organized and make the design more consistent. It's still not fully finished, so expect a few changes/additions and optimizations in the upcoming days. More news soon.
Duino-Coin + Coin Magi
Online Wallet for Coin Magi (XMG) - our sister coin - has been released in beta phase.
I've been working on it for the past few days and it should be more or less usable - try it out here: magi.duinocoin.com and let me know
how do you like the design and what to improve.
Some updates
I've had some time today in which I was able to optimize the REST API - as a result, the server load dropped from about 60% to 40% and all the services using it (e.g. the Web Wallet) should load faster now π¨. I also got some that the voting for Duino-Coin getting listed on exbitron.com has been accepted, which sounds cool - we will wait for more updates π°. I also prepared a list for myself of things to do and expand in the next weeks related to Duino, because all these random scenarios that happened lately kinda threw me out of my work rhytm π. Release 2.7.5 should be out soon with mostly ESP codes improvements done by @ProtoThis - big thanks to him β. Happy mining everyone and see you soon! βοΈ
bscDUCO and maticDUCO
I've received some messages that bscDUCO and maticDUCO wraps do not work. It's most probably because the wrapper ran out of funds to pay the transaction fees. Developer responsible of wrappedDUCO chains development has been already notified and he should take care of it soon. From what I know, all pending wraps should complete once the wrappers get refilled.
Things should be more or less operational
It looks like the DDoS attack has stopped. As with all similar situations, we have learned a lot, which should help us in the future. I know some services (e.g. pulse-pool) haven't recovered fully yet, but everything should be back soon (during the upcoming days as we are strenghtening the security settings). Let's hope it goes well, thanks to everyone who helped us on Discord!
P.S. - I know pools may not sync the workers, this should be fixed soon. I'm assuring that earnings go to your wallets (the sync data for earnings and workers is separate).
Exchange updates LKE and NANO pairs on
DUCO Exchange
have received QuickExchange support (other pairs will get that functionality in the not so far future). We also should be able to adjust the prices a bit soon.
We're also speaking with
exbitron.com
team to list DUCO on that exchange.
New release
Hey there, new version 2.7.3 is out containing the latest improvements that
have been done over the past 12 days, updating is not required if your miners work fine
although we advise to do so to enjoy the new features and improvements.
Download release 2.7.3
Exchange rates have been decreased
Because we run too fast out of liquidity (thank big sellers) we had to decrease the exchange rates on DUCO Exchange (temporarily).
One solution to this problem may be to bring back the donation feature in the miners, we will see.

All pools back operational Pools are starting to sync again, we will continue to monitor the situation The main server is having network issues and thus the pools are not syncing, the REST API may be slow.
Sorry for the downtime - we're working on it, but it seems that the problem is not from our side (but our vps provider).

Arduino hotfix
If your Arduino boards are still disconnecting with 2.7.1, please try the AVR Miner from the
2.7.2 hotfix release
Big thanks to @gsr.gabriel for spotting and correcting this bug!
Other than that, I'm happy to announce that all pools are syncing correctly now.

New release
Hey there, if you're facing AVR or PC mining problems,
please try the
new release 2.7.1
that should hopefully fix most of them.
Happy mining!

Voting ended
with photo verification as a chosen vote (3/09/21) Because of the ever going cheater problem, with the help of community, we've come up with two possible ideas on stopping them: 1. Make the AVR and ESP codes fully closed source (we would only ship the .bin files), no user modification available.
OR 2. Require a photo verification (somewhere in the wallet) of your rig before you can start mining on anything other than a PC, source codes would be kept fully public.
Vote which one would be better to implement on
our Discord in the #announcements channel.

I added QuickExchange support
to DUCO-BCH and TRX pair on duco exchange for selling.
Let me know it there will be any issues.
I also re-made some e-mail messages we send and I'll try to fix the ESP32 reward problem (in a few minutes).
You can also now browse the miners and transactions in the

Rollback
Due to the issues you all know about from the messages above and because of not receiving or coming up with any better ideas, we had to rollback all accounts to yesterday 0:00 β οΈ
I think you prefer losing a few ducos instead of having all the supply inflated with the almost 2.000.000 duco. Mining will be disabled until we figure out what happened with presumably one of the pools βοΈπ« Shut down your miners to not waste electricity and wait until the situation stabilizes π
There will be a new release for probably all miners in the next few days. I won't be available tomorrow much as I'm going to visit our Duino Princess for the first time π
We have to somehow get this back on track - pun definitely not intended βοΈ

Reward change
I had to change the rewards to logarythmic, meaning that Arduinos no longer earn the most, neither do ESPs. Why was it needed? Someone does not get the point in this project and is trying to break everything - you can thank him. Will that stay? I don't know - see my message below. And also, don't forget to call me a scammer, because of course I earn tons of money from that project. I wish we did any. Like for real, I don't even have a bank account because I'm 17 and there's none in my village. Anyway, I will need someone with ideas on what to do

Help
It's already fixed and does not have relation with any overloading since we have quite a few pools now. I just wanted to say that it's really hard for me to keep everything even running, there's constant work and I'm starting to go crazy + there are more and more people that do not get the point, even after adding a clear statement on the main website. I'm starting to really regret making this because of time wasted trying to please everyone. Can anyone suggest me what to do

Sync issues should be fixed
Last two days we were busy figuring out what's going on with some of the pools not syncing with the master server properly. This should be now fixed, although I'll still be actively watching the situation to see how things go on and push fixes as needed.
I'd also like to thank you all, because all these problems come just because we're growing really really fast and it's still a shock for me to see Duino being so successful. We have recently passed 20.000 registered accounts and 4000 members on Discord which is just awesome. I'll be hosting some competitions soon!

ESP32 code with automatic pool fetching
Similarly to the ESP8266, the ESP32 can now automatically fetch the best pool. Please read the news below for further explaination.
Here's the link to the new ESP32 code
revox
17/08/21 11:05
Important ESP8266 code update
I think I've finally found the cause of the sync problems,
and that is the way nodejs handles thread switching,
which is quite different than python and that causes the node to struggle with finding time to sync when there are lots of clients coming at once.
Since all ESP8266s and 32s have the port 6000 hard-coded instead of using the /getPool API request,
the pool is bombarded with constant requests and can't sync even once. I didn't think it would be a problem at first,
but time showed that it is,
so I've updated the ESP8266 code on GitHub to get the least loaded pool automatically
(just like the AVR and PC miner do it). For that I used a part of @ricaun's code, so big thanks for him. TL:DR: Any ESP8266 miners that have issues with connecting to the pool,
please upload the new code to their boards (or wait until the majority of people moves to other pools and the 6000 port will be less crowded once again).
Here's the link to the new ESP8266 code

No more worker limits
Since the mining part of kolka has been recently updated,
there's no longer need for worker limits and/or multiple account limits,
so from now on, the worker limit is raised to a high value and alt accounts

Over the past two days I received numerous private messages and e-mails saying that it's better when I'm in the dev team. They were accompanied with lots of kind words and I probably haven't responded yet to everyone - about that I'm really sorry, but I read everything - sometimes maybe too much. I was really thinking that maybe after some changes in the way we work and better planning, I would be able to return and we would be further pushing with the development, but today I'm really hopeless. I hear that I care too much, and maybe it's right, but I just want good for everyone. Anyone wanting to know why all of this is happening, here are some of the reasons:

Updates
So, because of the issues we had to disable all mining to make the wallets still available. It's a difficult sitation for everyone, but as you can see a lot of people are working on fixing it.
It's (as usual) my fault - I never thought of scalability (I never thought Duino would have more than 100 members). I'm sorry I fucked up with this but we're just expanding very fast.
Thanks for your patience - database migrations should be finished by today or tommorow.

Hey there!
If you've read the latest news, you know an OpenCL miner is in the works - I'm writing to tell that our team
has managed to beat nonceMiner (fastest DUCO-S1 miner until now) in terms of speed at hashing on CPU.
This doesn't mean that people using nonceMiner or the upcoming OpenCL miner earn more (Kolka system gives the miners very big difficulty to mine), it's just to show the speed. Sorry for not doing a lot of development myself lately
- I have quite a lot of school stuff to do, but I'm doing what I can to fix things asap. p.s. - I hope you like

dansinclair25 and I are working on a new API to reduce the network load. Bilaboz is making
