Can someone please help me?
I am trying to mine Bitcoinereum using Geth, I get the error shown in pic related. Did anyone else have this problem?

Ask this on ethereum.stackexchange.com

Seems to be an issue with geth/ethereum network

>> No.4101736

>>4101589
You need to sync the blockchain first, the gas limit for early blocks is 5000 iirc. Therefore, when you run the mining command with more than 5000 gas, it gives the error because the last gas limit it knows is that really old and low value. Use "geth --fast --cache=1024" and leave it running for ~12h depending on your internet speed.

Thanks man, I will do.

Do I enter that command in Geth or in the cmd under C:\ProgramFiles\Geth?
I tried from the cmd and I get this error:

>> No.4101834

Hi OP. I tried to mine as well. I have similar issues. As far as I understand, as mentioned in this discussion, the blockchain must be in sync. I am currently struggling with that, as I am not able to catch up on the remaining 100 blocks. Maybe you have more luck.

>> No.4101880

>>4101834
Yeah we have the same problem, we need to sync with the latests blocks. What have you tried so far?
Do we just leave geth running?

I get some sort of authentication error even though the first thing I do is put in my address and password.

>> No.4101960

>>4101891
I believe you are not unlocking your address correctly.
You can create a new Geth address using:
geth address new

You can unlock it with the following statement:
web3.personal.unlockAccount("[YourAddress]", "[YourWalletPassword]", [UnlockTimeInSeconds]);

>> No.4101961

>>4101880

I keep restarting geth with the hope that it will catch up. My currentBlock is 4452409, and highestBlock 4452499. I keep being 100 behind on the latest block. All it does now is import new state entries, so I do not really know what I can do to minimize this gap.

>>4101891

Before you copy the script, you need to unlock your account each time you want to run the mining operation. This is the script

web3.personal.unlockAccount("address", "password",unlocktimeinseconds);

Just make sure to replace the words address and password and to not remove the ". This does not apply for the last one. I put at 0. This means that your account will continue to be unlocked for the rest of the session.

>> No.4102011

>>4101797
Looks correct to me. Just leave it like it is. Not sure about the wifi-situation. You could try to disconnect and then reconnect while its running to see what happens.

>>4101891
Did you use "geth account new" first? Or if you want to import an account with the privatekey, you can do "geth account import /path/to/keyfile".

This is done in cmd or a terminal, and then you have to do "geth attach" and use "web3.personal.unlockAccount("0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "qwerty", 50000);".

How do you find the current block?
Is it "eth.latestBlock()" or something?

>> No.4102074

>>4102041

eth.syncing shows the current block, highest block, known states, pulled states, and your starting block. eth.blockNumber should show the latest blocknumber you are synced with. In my case, this is still 0. I am getting quite frustrated with this syncing process, as I have been syncing for the past few days and the gap is not getting smaller. Getting close to giving up on this shit.

Yes, I am experiencing the same issue. I have been trying to sync for the past few days. I have no concrete solution to this issue. I think it is an issue with the Ethereum network itself, as I believe more people have issues with syncing to the network.

Not really, It's actually pretty easy to abuse. I've managed to get all 50 tokens during single round for myself several times. Too bad the coin is shit and not worth much.

Hint: you need to send your transactions in a few milliseconds before contract.RewardEnd.call(). Use Date.now()/1000 to compare unix time.

Timing is more important than gas value. There is been a dominant miner that has been using 0.1 gas and timing it perfectly, it gets around 30% of each distribution

When mining manually, how do you manage to get more than 1 BTCM per distribution? Do you have to manually send off more than 1 transaction before RewardEnd? Does the Gas matter?

>> No.4104771

>>4104677

Yeah just send a bunch. There's a balance, because if you send too many, none will go through. Most of the time only my first transaction goes through.

I think gas doesn't matter right now (because there are so few miners!) But eventually that will help speed up your transactions relative to others. I can see once we have 100-500 miners, we may need gas prices of ~30gwei
