Going to work for a bit, back in about 4 hours... Around 9:00PM East-coast NY time. (GMT -5)

P.S. If prices change dramatically, I will readjust the offer to fit the prices at the time. Or make an offer, and it will be seriously considered.

Thanks again,
JD.

could it be that you are just connecting to an "off-time" computer... (Some fast hubs report things like "location NewYork", though you are net-fast and through a fiber-hub in "California". Thus, it might be "assuming" your IP is in another timezone that doesn't match the one on your computer. Irrelevant to your actual connection.)

You would have to do a reverse DNS look-up of "what it thinks your IP" actually is. (As some blocks are/were once locked to specific areas, but have been recently "released" for resale since they started using IPV6, or you may be going through an IPV6->IPV4 or IPV4->IPV6 external "router" on your network. Which I think can also be detected, but not avoided in all instances.)

One way to find-out.... is to change your time/date to another time zone, and another... and another.. until you find the one it "Thinks" you are in.

Time is irrelevant on the net... Pings should be the time-adjustment to any single computer that is "asking for a sync". Dates should never be trusted. Stuff gets there, when it gets there. No matter the time. That is horrible code if it depends on any user-set times... then goes so far to tell you that you are wrong... Well, if it is wrong, the fix it for me, or ignore it, or stop looking at it... Stupid program. lol.

Are you adding-in the "activation of another 50,000GHs of Asics" into that calculation...

Knowing what it will be at "change" is irrelevant unless it stays that way, and you can cash-out earnings immediately. Knowing how much lower it will be in a week, after you have accumulated enough to cash-out, and the trending value, is more important.

Even at these prices... there are less "buyers", and more "sellers"... Since the volume of trades/sales is what it was, when BTC sold for $10/BTC... Thus... You know where it is headed....

Down to the gutter. Now that ASICs AND USERS are both cashing-out, not just the ASIC miners... They refuse to let them take the rest of our high value, so we lowered the bar, and will continue to lower it, until no-one wants to buy it, or cash it out... because buying it is cashing-out the ASIC's earnings, and not ours...

Was nice knowing BTC while it lasted... Until the asic miners have real debt/loss/value... then it will not rise again. A slow death of denial ends quick when reality sets-in...

Even then, there are those who just never get past denial...

Or you could just stop cramming bloat inside the damn blocks, and keep a separate useful chain of transactions, and the useless chain of blocks out of the TX chain.

You only need a diff 1 for TX chain. It is only the blocks which need the true diff as proof of work. How many useless and repeat transactions are included in a block, but simply ignored because an earlier duplicate exists in a previous block?

This whole system is setup bass-ackwards. Only miners should be concerned with the super-bloated chain. If the TXs are confirmed, then they are confirmed. They only have to be linked to a block, not crammed inside of it. Oh yea, they do for this crappy moronic setup. lol. The only setup where something like 0 is 2K, and 500000 is 2K, and we get "charged" for sending K, without being told what K is, or what the K-value is, prior to sending, or why a tx we are sending is 100K or only 2K. That is what happens when you let programmers try to use the real world... They fail.

Screw-it... Make max-block-size a full GB... it won't matter what it is, because you either download 10000 small ones, or 1 large one, it is still the same freaking volume of crappy data-packing and useless bloat.

Do you guys even know what g-zip is? Or, I don't know... byte-reduction by not sending bloated "human-readable" expanded values, where real values are just as functional.

Stop sending "0100101010010101001" and "sud3U" when you only need to send "FU"

Overkill where it isn't needed, and not enough refinement where it is, where it is already possible. Because you keep building off one mans poor crappy code. He stopped developing this crap because it was crap.

Last connection was at 19:00 (7PM)... Lost three hours... Arg... Should have had a fallback pool setup.

Still down I see... Trying again using the load-balance option, so I can see when you go online.

Just to add on my own experience in case it helps with debugging, I'm not experiencing this problem. I'm at 31818 Accepts and 962 Rejects right now total, and ever since it jumped to LTC my Accepts have been going up while Rejects have stayed pretty low (most of my Rejects were from the fast-block coins).

This was on FTC... just now... The Diff changed mid-stream due to the number of workers online now.

diff 32 hurts when it drop due to new block found, and rejects up to 6x shares that were "waiting" for delivery, just before the block was found. Not so bad on slow coins like FTC, but on fast coins, it cuts you short by almost 50% of shares.

Alleviated by reducing my work-load size to 64 also... thus, it finishes up to 4x faster and then submits... instead of waiting for workload 256 to finish, before submitting on every card.

Problem resolved... Use CGminer 3.2.1 (I was only using 3.2.0 for issues related before all the wallets updated when I was solo-mining on this machine.)
1110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MultiCoin][Stratum+GW] multipool.in - Always mine the most profitable coin on: June 15, 2013, 03:34:41 PM
Something is up...

The LTC is rejecting valid shares submitted, like 50% out of nowhere...

submitted 48/32 rejected, target above share.
submitted 56/32 rejected, target above share.
submitted 36/32 rejected, target above share.
...
...

but high enough...
128/32 accepted
234/32 accepted
...
...

You seem to be 1-off on your calculation... thinking 32 is 64? or not "retargeting us", but wanting xxx/64, thus, we are still sending xxx/32

Restarted the miner (cgminer), and it went back to xx/32... but started again on a retarget... (Seems to be a cgminer 3.2.0 issue. 3.2.1 adjusted fine.)

NOTE: Rejecting those low shares does NOT hurt us... Just for the record, they were too low, thus any at the unseen actual target would still be accepted.

Mine alt-coins... save power and make real money... BTC is dead to GPU's...

We are all moving or have moved to alt-coins...

Litecoins
Feathercoins
Novacoins
Worldcoins
Mincoins
Digicoins
Memecoins
Fastcoins
etc...

Places like www.Multipool.in have ports that simply mine whatever coin is the most "profitable" those few minutes. (Eg, lowest Diff and highest trade-value. Port 7777 I believe. Average value is greater than 120% of BTC, and up to 210% on some coins, when they sell. EG, if mining BTC earns you $100, these earn you $120-$210 when you mine them.)

Or, jump on a coin of your choice.

Great solo-mine coins are... (You actually see returns within hours, not days.)
Memecoin
Fastcoin
Mincoin
Worldcoin

The others are sort-of pool dependent, for the best value, over solo mining. (The diff is higher and you get more on average from pools.)
1112  Economy / Economics / Re: Keeping Bitcoin Price High on: June 15, 2013, 02:42:08 PM
The only way to RAISE it, is to BUY IT for MORE than IT IS WORTH... (Loss)...

Problem is, all the ASICs are cashing-out for LESS than the market value, because they don't have LOSSES yet, and will keep cashing out, until they do have losses. They ARE waiting, as long as they can, but a few are not, and those who know this, are also cashing-out at a LOSS (under value), so they don't loose even more to ASICs. They are taking your VALUE, your cash, leaving you with a devalued BTC.

You want to make it live...

Cash out now, at any expense... wait for the ASIC's to drive it up again (Eg, once they have loss), and then buy them again at the lower price.

An ASIC can sell as low as $10 and make a profit from BTC/YOU. They will, because they don't have loss yet.

You are not helping BTC by keeping the price high, you are helping ASIC owners get rich, doing nothing... by keeping it high. Making yourself have more loss, while they have little loss.
1113  Economy / Economics / Re: You are fools on: June 15, 2013, 02:26:33 PM
When someone LISTS it UNDER the value, and says "I will buy it for $10 UNDER the current price"... Then someone who has those coins says, "Ok, I'll take that LOSS." Then they SELL under the market price by $10, that lowers the "Value" by $10 under market price.

If that constantly repeats, because MORE are WILLING to ACCEPT that LOSS... (Because to them, they are still gaining. Because they didn't actually earn it, or they originally got them $40 or $80 or $100 under market-price... Then you see this constant decline in value.)

That is what is happening with ASICs... They make money selling at any value over $10. However, they were kind enough to WAIT for US to keep pushing the price up. (US = those who can't accept the loss, trying to make a living, or trying to regain the money we spent on GPU rigs.)

Now, people are getting smart, and realize that the ASIC guys are simply cashing out our earned dollar, so we are also cashing out, to cut our losses, so they don't get them all. Since they are doing it anyways.

The smart thing to do is cash-out now. (Fewer see the charts going up, than those that see it going down, or the price would not keep dropping.)

Then, once the ASICs have lowered it to its value of $10, thus, now they will have LOSSES and add VALUE, by the un-received ASICs they purchased with the money they cashed-in from us... Then they will start saying, Hell no, I am not accepting $10 anymore, I need $20 now, then we start to see it rise again... But not too fast for them to keep cashing-out on us...

Eventually, once this ASIC war starts, fighting for more ASICs, and trying to beat the other guys buying ASICs... then the value WILL shoot up to $1000 per BTC, which may actually still have people interested in the coin...

You think it is going up, and don't mind waiting 6-12 months for it to rise back up to $130... then keep holding on. If not (The majority of us), then cash-out and mine alt-coins with your machines. They are rising above the value of BTC every day. The value follows the LOSSES of the MAJORITY. GPU miners are the MAJORITY, and are moving away from BTC. The few hundred people mining with major ASICs, will be all that remains mining BTC, and that will turn into three top ASIC manufactures, mining all the coins, when we STOP buying ASICs from them. Since they are ALSO producing 100x Asics for themselves, for every 1 they sell us. With our money, with our BTC they cashed out, with our LOSSES.

You can spend an alt-coin just as easy as a BTC, and those values are already settled at a low, and almost guaranteed to rise. Unlike BTC, which is about a 95% chance of crashing due to ASICs now, before it ever sees a gain. Plus, there are more coins available NOW for LESS in alt coins. With BTC, you just get less, both ways. It takes no additional effort for a marketer to add an ALT-COIN "buy/sell" button, than it did to add the BTC buy/sell buttons and gateways.

They go where the money is... and BTC for them, is a loss right now. They sell something for $100 and get 1 BTC, then by the time they wake-up, that 1 BTC can only be cashed-in for $90 or $80 or $70... so they drop it from the market. That is the OTHER reason BTC isn't going up... that "delay" of "doubt"...

Don't fall for the ASIC pump, as they try to juice the market to get more of your value from you. Let them get a loss, cash out now, while it still has some value.
1114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ***Mincoin Mandatory Update*** ***Difficulty Re-Target Changed*** on: June 14, 2013, 05:00:55 PM
I forgot how, but there is a way to "cancel" an unconfirmed send... (It will expire in time, if no-one accepts it.)

Chances are, it was rejected due to "no tx fee" (Doubtful)... Or it was accepted in an orphan chain, and thus, skipped on the real chain. Thus, it will expire, if there is no way to include missing "orphaned" transactions. (Eg, they accepted it, added it to a block, built off that block, but the real block passed-you up, and did not include it, when it was rebuilt.)

Or... the coins were not real, because they were from an invalid double-spend, and thus, will never confirm, since you didn't have them to actually spend. You just think you did, until the chain corrected that double-spend, and removed the amount from your wallet. (EG, bank-error in your favor, does not equal "in your favor". It corrects itself, like the banks do, and takes it back, like the banks do.)

To be sure, find your ROAMING folder with the chain-data, and delete everything in there, EXCEPT your wallet.dat. (You might want to back that up, while you are at it.)

Restart the NEW client/wallet-qt, and the corrected chain will be downloaded. If your transaction was on the old chain, you may still be trying to load the old-chain, and thus, never see the correction.

They need to fix all these wallets to "see" that a "New mandatory version" is needed, and "A database correction" is needed, to match that mandatory update. (They hard-code a "check-point" into the client, to ensure you have the most recent "untainted" chain, instead of a chain that may have been a bad chain or orphaned 51% chain, full of invalid transactions and double-spends.)

Easy to implement... Set a Version-number check on the network. Alert with a hard-coded link to the creators wallet-URL for the "latest update" program. Or simply make a launcher that checks for this junk in advance. Make each block ALSO contain a "version-built-by" number... so if that is incompatible, then the program can not continue... (Add the version-hash into the block, and the "hash" will not match unless it is the right version.) Though, that whole "checking element" should be a separate component that the wallet can download without having to actually update the wallet itself. Too much is unique inside of a wallet.

They need a generic wallet, and a "coin profile", that just plugs the changes of values. A multi-wallet! Hint hint, flound... Tongue
1115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's talk about Mincoin on: June 13, 2013, 05:48:23 PM
Here is food for thought...

Code:
00000-00000 = 50/block  @1 blocks     =      50c = Total        50 @ 2011-10-07 07:31:05 (Genesis block date irrelevant)
00001-01439 = 500/block @1439 blocks  = 719,500c = Total   719,550 @ 2013-04-03 01:35:14 (one hour after birth)
00001-02879 = 100/block @1440 blocks  = 144,000c = Total   863,550 @ 2013-04-03 03:04:29 (two hours later)
02880-04319 = 50/block  @1440 blocks  =  72,000c = Total   935,550 @ 2013-04-03 08:31:20 (four hours later) Nearly 1/10th coins mined... in 8 hours.
04320-88446 => NOW 2bk  @84126 blocks = 168,252c = Total 1,103,802 @ 2013-06-13 17:13:12 (two months later) 1,711.70 hours...

Owner gave-away a lot, traded a lot. Much mined honestly, with little effort.
1/10th actually mined honestly at the new 2c rate.
8,896,198c Left to mine... at 2c per block...

Rate is roughly... 1,103,802 coins / 1,711.70 hours (2013-04-03 03:04:29 to-> 2013-04-03 08:31:20 @ 1,103,802c)
Yields ~645 coins per hour = ~15,477 coins per day = ~464,297 coins per month = ~5,571,564 coins available per year to mine for everyone...
Compare to BTC...
Rate is roughly... 1312500 a year
Yields ~152 coins per hour = ~3,646 coins per day = ~109,375 coins per month = ~1,312,500 coins available per year to mine for everyone... (Asics will fight until they go broke for the same few coins.) Half that many after the next 3.5 years.

Sooo... if 1 BTC = $100 USD, then 1 MNC = ((152/645) *100) = ~$23.57 or about 1/4th of a BTC.
Thus... 1 BTC = ~4.24 MNC, or 1 MNC = ~0.2357BTC
Thus... MNC is one of the highest undervalued coins, and will rise faster than BTC falls... and BTC will fall.

No-one owns a coin... Anyone can assume it, and make it their own.

Like I said... Who says you have to trade on an exchange, or even let anyone know what the coin actually is. That is called paper-trading. Essentially what every exchange is actually doing. They are not actually trading one coin for another. They are trading exchange-credit for whatever coin... Until you cash-out... then they actually made one trade for you, based off the credit you were given.

Just cut-out the middle-man... (I trade on Cryptsy, just for the record.)

I'll be happy to take anyone's junk-min-coins... Deposit here MRo4uTzHza6tcd7A6KJquBQjkWDhQrf3Bj

1117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Let's talk about Mincoin on: June 13, 2013, 04:11:24 PM
Mincoin has settled to its actual value...

Now that is more scarce, it is going to rise. Those who got them for next to nothing, will, or have-already sold-out. Now all it needs is a bigger actual market.

Was great that the wallet/servers had that moment of incompatibility, that lowered the coin diff and booted-out all the insta-traders... (Traitors)

Those still mining are now marketing the coin off-exchange, so those who did nothing, still get nothing. lol... They either have to cash-out at the price we want, or rot while we sell on a private market. There is nothing that says you have to use an exchange, and reward those who have not earned anything. Just create your own market, and ignore the other value. Doesn't take much to alter the wallet so the user doesn't know that the coin-gateway is actually a min-coin underneath.

That, and there is no competition to value, if you hide the fact that it is another coin, and don't allow mining of it. Win Win... I am still buying, so list your coins... I am on the low-end of the market, so don't expect to get rich from my purchase of your un-earned value.

When it gets to where I want, then I open up the market for others. Until then, fight among yourselves. You think it is worthless, then cash-in, so you get some worth for your worthless holdings.

You want to give it value, and make money... Then come join multipool pool servers and mine what is actually valuable. (The coins with the lowest difficulty and the highest valued yields.) Value = losses... That is what all coins are, what all bills are, what all credit is. If you obtain it without loss, it has no value.

And the coin rises to the occasion!

Didn't take long to "settle-in" to its actual value. Now it is another gateway to hedge the falling BTC.

Needs more marketing, to break-away from the BTC value. Like MemeCoins has a market for steam-games. (Sure they are all purchased with stolen CC accounts, and will be stripped from your steam library once steam cancels the transactions... But hey! That adds value to the coins we hold, that were not spent on steam games, and lost. lol.)

The anonymous mask in the memecoin logo should be the first indicator that you are using a high-scam 4chan-rip-off coin. Where is the reddit coin! lol, oh yea, that is all alt-coins. (Since they posted the copy-paste files to make your own coin.)

Good to see that I wasn't the only one buying and mining FastCoins. Time to market my own coins now. If I need more, I will just buy at the sell price. Hope you guys find a market for your mined coins.

r u on p2pool?

I am solo-mining with my army of GPUs. I am not in any pools at the moment... I avoid pools, due to the many "issues" that more-often-than-not, lead to losses. (Some losses are acceptable, but when they constantly "cut your connection", to make you "loose shares", and "estimate poorly", and "drop actual earned shares"... yet they mine themselves too... thus gain both ways. I loose faith. Sadly, it is the smaller pools that get the short end of the stick, trying to help-out those who just can't solo-mine anything.)

All pools as of late, have had the same results. (Not bitcoin pools, because those blocks are so far away, and obviously, low diffs don't even matter to bitcoins. However, shares have seen similar results, if you set shares to 4K-20K... but no-one uses shares that high.)

Easy to see it visually than to try to explain.
http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

You can see the results in the graphs here, related to diff issues... diffs should be going up, not down... they do go up, when people stop mining. They stop, because the diff drops, and less coins are produced, due to the above stated issue of "more rejects of valids"... Rejecting 140K submits with diff of 30K, withe no other block in range. Thus, not rejected sue to being "close" or "too late to submit"... Just flat out rejected.

I even have one with a big fat "?" in my list of transactions... lol... even the wallet is not sure what to think of it! (Eg, not rejected, not an orphan, just a "?" not sure what it is. Valid when found, valid when submitted, but "?" in my wallet, and the network, I assume.)
1120  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA GPU overc monit fanspd RPC linux/win/osx/mip/r-pi 3.2.1 on: June 12, 2013, 02:59:58 AM
The diff for bitcoins should be 18M right now, not 15M still... there was another 20,000GHs added to the network, and no change in DIFF. It just flat-lined at 15M)

The difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks.  According to Bitcoin Watch we still have 891 to go.

And it hasn't adjusted since cgminer version 3.2.0 was created, which everyone is now using... Has been more than 5 days... But who cares about BTC, that is for the ASIC manufactures now. You have to look at a graph of difficulty, not just the next target. Compared to the "mined coins" and "network hashing power."

I just downgraded to 3.2.0 on win7-64bit, and it is showing 50% rejects of valids, so it is on par with 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 running on vista-32bit. Thus, it is "partially" a 32/64 bit issue, and something that absolutely changed from 3.1.0 to 3.2.0 and got worse for 64-bit systems on 3.2.1...

Perhaps you "mistakenly" included one of the linux files/code in the compile for windows. (Which would be a slight issue, if it was something like using a linux INT vs a windows INT, or LONG, or something like byte-order... that might be specific to linux. or a terminator chr(13)chr(10) which is a windows only thing, in code {CRLF} not just {CR} or {LF} like linux allows, or a TAB where there should be a SPACE in a quoted comparison, which would not show if the TAB in code was at the SPACE mark. Something small, I am sure... But something from those versions that changed for validity submission/checking, related to sending over HTTP/TCP.)

NOTE: Actual win7-64bit results running cgminer 3.2.0 (the downgrade), best run on "Fastcoins" = 60% valids accepted. (Better, but not the 85% I was getting with cgminer 3.1.0. Way better than the 78% rejects of valids using 3.2.1 on win7-64bit. Vista 32-bit is still at 50% rejects of valids on the downgrade.) Difficulty is 7.56K, which is 0.115333 in scrypt-mining. That is a 12 seconds block target. Retargets about every hour. Good to test on.

If 3.1.0 still worked on any of the wallets, for solo-mining, I would downgrade again... but 3.1.0 is essentially dead in the water for me.
