Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC-E reported compromised

on: February 14, 2012, 06:48:08 PM

Quote from: CornedBeefHash on February 14, 2012, 07:51:20 AM Quote from: intersango on February 14, 2012, 07:26:15 AM What with Trade Hill closing and this instance those unaware should check out Intersango.com. We don't advertise much but we are one of the biggest exchanges. We are the 2nd longest running exchange. The longest running exchange not to have been compromised. We have never suffered a hack and we are the only bitcoin exchange owned and operated by core bitcoin developers. We have the most competitive rates especially once considering transfer costs to and from Intersango.com We operate with honesty, and have absolutely no hidden fees. Our long history confirms this time and time again. We also have always had excellent and fast support! EDIT: I mention this mostly due to the fact that Patrick Strateman (known on these forums and IRC as phantomcircuit) has repeatedly found security vulnerabilities like the above mentioned. Having strong developers and security specialists does make a huge difference. The whole reason we created Intersango was because we realized this was Bitcoins biggest problem, reliable exchanges. Is this new wave of regulations affecting you? Do you still accept Dwolla and Paxum for deposits and withdrawals? It seems like those put an end to Tradehill. I would like an alternative to gox. On topic segment: BTC-E seems to have suffered from the same stupidity as Bitscalper. Does no one understand even simple salted MD5? LOL even salted md5's can easily be cracked I think the min standard nowadays is using SHA 256 with atleast a 16 byte random salt

Quote from: CIYAM Pty. Ltd. on January 23, 2012, 05:03:26 AM Quote from: bitplane on January 22, 2012, 07:49:08 PM The first file I randomly clicked on was over 4000 lines long, contains no function documentation, huge stretches of if/elseif blocks (not sure if that's avoidable, but it's damn ugly), magic numbers in your switch blocks and huge code duplication. I don't mean to crap on your work, but in any mildly successful software company that wouldn't get through a code review. It wouldn't get past me anyway and I'm not even employed as a software engineer. Well at least thanks for taking a look - I think you may not be very familiar with working with generated source code. Such code is (for most users) is not even something you would look at (ever used yacc?). Because the code is generated the "magic numbers" are of zero problem (they will change automatically when regeneration occurs if required). The code is for the most part boilerplate and requires some replication of things in order to support "dynamic dispatch". It is true I don't write a lot of comments as I learned (the hard way) that skillful programmers read code rather than comments (which inevitably become misleading as programmers tend to change code without changing comments). Perhaps take a look at the file "ciyam_server.cpp" or "ciyam_client.cpp" to get a better idea of how I write code. In regards to your last statement I did work as a member of the tech team that created on one of the biggest insurance software platforms ever created in Australia (company was called Paxus and eventually become owned by CSC), I also worked for Telstra (an Australian Telco that has thousands of employees) and for a very successful company Hardcat for over 11 years and I have never had any of my software fail to pass code reviews. Cheers, Ian. Don't feel bad I never write comments either I do as you said and just read the code

I agree although I've used them for about a year now and never had a problem up until about a month ago....... They need to get it together... ever since they had that problem with their bank last month they've had horrible support for their users.

this may or may not be the actual sender or it could just be a node that relayed the tx
they could be behind a proxy....

the IP leads to Charleston, SC

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some pools pay 115% that much?

on: February 05, 2012, 03:03:32 AM

I agree with p4man.... I don't understand why anyone would want to give someone 1.15 bitcoins and get in return 1 bitcoin. the only way he could be profiting is selling these for over 115% but this still contradicts what hes saying because once he sells them how is he gna convert the ZAR back into bitcoins to pay the miners their extra 15%? he does mention he has his own rigs though so i guess this could work out he could convert the ZAR to btc by paying for power for his rigs.... however if this is how hes doing it hes limited to how much his rigs produce he said his rigs are running at 50Gh/s thats around 984.3 btc a month 1 Gh/s a month is around 20 BTC 984.3 / .15 = 6562 6562 / 20 = 328.1 so the total Gh/s he could purchase is 328.1 anything over that and he wont be able to pay the extra 15%

Quote from: P4man on December 23, 2011, 01:05:02 PM Quote from: bitcoin2cash on December 23, 2011, 12:36:03 PM I'm glad you admit the article isn't entirely interesting but I did read it and the followup. It boils down to the claim that without customers, there would be no jobs. Which is true. But wait, without the sun, there would be no jobs either. Therefore the sun actually creates the jobs. All hail Apollo, the sun god! We already have a sun, so thats not relevant. We already have companies making just about everything that people desire and that money can buy. What we dont have is customer demand for their products because the customers are broke. Its not rocket science. +1

lets do some more math 260 5830 use about 200 watts a piece or 0.2 kWh 0.2 * 260 = 52 kWh this is the watts used by all cards in a hour 52 kWh * 24 = 1248 kWh per day 1248 kWh * 30 = 37440 kWh per month now lets say your only paying $0.10 per kWh 1248 * 0.1 = around $124.8 per day 37440 * 0.1 = around $3744 a month Now lets compare to FPGA's 163 X6500 = 65 Gh/s each one uses about 20 watts 0.02 * 163 = 3.26 kWh used by all cards per hour 3.26 * 24 = 78.24 kWh per day 78.24 * 30 = 2347.2 kWh per month again lets say your only paying $0.10 per kWh 78.24 * 0.1 = around $7.824 per day 2347.2 * 0.1 = around $234.72 a month 65 Gh/s will be about 30 blocks a month 30 * 50 = 1500 bitcoins a month current market price is around $6 6 * 1500 = $9000 a month $9000 - $3744 = $5256 a month profit for 260 radeon 5830's $9000 - $234.72 = $8765.28 a month profit for 163 FPGA's
