121  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin OMG! 0.8.5 with Coin Control, Watch Only, Disable Wallet, Performance++ on: October 29, 2013, 08:02:46 PM
Their is an issue on the current 0.8.5 mac version, there was like a menu that would pop up when you right clicked on the dock icon, this was so when it was hidden it would come back.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/1522

Now that bug has been reintroduced on this build. Love this build thou! Already used coin control!

http://blog.litecoin.org/2013/10/litecoin-v0852-rc2-release-notes.html
Could you please verify if that bug exists in Litecoin v0.8.5.2-rc2 too?  We copied nearly all the patches from our Litecoin branch, so I'm curious if it needs to be fixed there too.

all I can tell you ATM, before going to bed, is that my win32 sigs are different
https://github.com/piotrnar/gitian.sigs.omg/tree/master/0.8.5-OMG1-win32/piotrnar

though I took the HEAD - might that be the problem?
I would not think so, since its the same commit id as the tag: 5b474dacd8ae0d32f8c76dead7b7e9905d868ec3

I'll redo my dep sha256sums when I return from an appointment today.  We need to get this right.
123  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin OMG! 0.8.5 with Coin Control, Watch Only, Disable Wallet, Performance++ on: October 29, 2013, 11:07:54 AM
IMHO I think it should be available as default to official client.

... then volunteer to run through the test plan and help shake out any bugs. Code that touches the wallet is particularly sensitive, because an obscure bug might cause lots of people to lose lots of money.
Please Smiley

Hundreds of Litecoin users and a few developers have been testing Coin Control many many times for the past several months.  We suggested improvements to the Coin Control patch and I am quite satisfied with it right now.  We are shipping it in the next version of Litecoin and it is also in this unofficial Bitcoin branch.  We do not control what goes into the official Bitcoin source.  The best we can do is to give things more test exposure, which has a tendency to shake out bugs and improve things faster than sitting in a source review queue forever.
124  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Bitcoin OMG! including Watch-Only on: October 29, 2013, 10:54:23 AM
Update Nov 13, 2014:
https://github.com/litecoin-project/bitcoinomg
0.9.3 plus many backports including watch-only.  Can you help to test especially the watch-only parts?

Bitcoin OMG is an unofficial branch of Bitcoin 0.9.x plus well-tested features backported from Bitcoin master.

It is the intent for Bitcoin OMG to be relatively conservative and usable after wide-spread testing, but please be careful and make backups of wallet.dat.

Historically this branch has helped to find bugs in Bitcoin master before they go into the next official release.

  • Watch-only

Please stop bothering Wikipedia to do something they do not want to do yet.  If it really is about giving to Wikipedia with Bitcoin, there is a method here.  Do you really care about promoting Bitcoin or giving to Wikipedia?  If the latter then it doesn't matter how it gets there.

Great business concept. It looks like Bitcoin was made for this. I hope so much so have success in cutting out middleman. Do you plan to expand to Europe?

Tealet ships to customers around the world including Europe.  Customs delays vary by country though.
127  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Tealet - Farm-Direct Tea Marketplace now accepts Bitcoin on: September 17, 2013, 08:33:23 PM
I can confirm that this company is legit, and the teas are of excellent quality and delicious.  I went to business school with Elyse and was one of the first customers of her premium tea subscription service.  I am delighted that they took the next step in accepting Bitcoin payment.  One of their next steps is to figure out how to further streamline the business by using Bitcoin to pay the farmers directly in the 9 countries, which would be both faster and lower cost than existing methods of international payments.

Let's Talk Bitcoin is a twice weakly podcast about Bitcoin. I have emailed the host, Adam and requested a show about P2Pool. If you also think that it is a good idea to get some air time for this topic, the write and request it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/letstalkbitcoin

If you are a P2Pool developer or knows a lot about the inner workings and benefits of this system, I think it would be a good idea to contact Adam and go on the show and talk about it.

I am a p2pool developer.  This is already among the topics that I communicated with Stephanie that need to be better promoted and understood by the Bitcoin and Litecoin communities.
129  Bitcoin / Pools / Subpools on: August 19, 2013, 08:36:43 PM
Subpools are fine as long as they build up balances of miners over time in order to avoid dust micropayments that are unhealthy for the network and expensive for the miners to spend.
130  Bitcoin / Pools / p2pool-13.3 LTC Improvements on: August 18, 2013, 11:01:31 AM
p2pool-13.3 released containing bug fixes primarily for p2pool LTC.  This upgrade is recommended for p2pool LTC miners as it bans v11 nodes, reducing log spam and bandwidth use by a significant amount.

At least unlike the bitcoin split, the cut-off LTC nodes should solve a few blocks (right now it's at one every 12hrs).  Given the 40% orphan/DOA rate, I've been considering reverting to a lower version and maybe even start my stuff back up to mine litecoins

40% orphan/DOA rate was a mis-measurement on the v11 side of the fork during a short period while those nodes failed to find each other as they were rejected by the v13 network.  v13 has 15 instead of 10 second average share intervals which has already enabled a measurable improvement to orphan and DOA rates on the v13 network.

Also note that p2pool version 11 was incapable of submitting blocks to litecoin-0.8.3.7, and 0.6.9.2 is considered unsafe to operate due to unpatched vulnerabilities.

Code:
        litecoin=math.Object(
        PARENT=networks.nets['litecoin'],
        SHARE_PERIOD=10, # seconds
        NEW_SHARE_PERIOD=15, # seconds
        CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        REAL_CHAIN_LENGTH=24*60*60//10, # shares
        TARGET_LOOKBEHIND=200, # shares
        SPREAD=12, # blocks
        NEW_SPREAD=3, # blocks

Also the share lifetime was reduced from the previous 12 shares to 3, and share difficulty for the first share is increased to such a level that you would have a target minimum dust size of 0.03 LTC.  The combination of these changes has the following effect:

  • Greater Efficiency for the LTC Network: Small miners receive bigger dust payouts, but less often.  This means the reduction of thousands of tiny dust outputs per day, and far lower transaction fees for miners to combine the dust outputs.
  • Lower DOA/orphan rate allows GPU miners to increase Intensity, allowing the entire p2pool LTC network to increase its hashrate with existing hardware.


p2pool-13.3 reduces bandwidth waste and log spam significantly.

132  Bitcoin / Pools / Litecoin Updates Mandatory on: August 16, 2013, 01:01:20 PM
p2pool LTC shares are now 85% for version 13.  When it reaches 95%, older versions of p2pool will be permanently left behind.  p2pool-13+ requires litecoin-0.8.3.7+.  Please upgrade both immediately in order to avoid problems.

This p2pool node and its underlying litecoin daemon are both obsolete.  Users are advised to avoid mining at this node until the owner has upgraded.

You can see warnings here that currently read:

Warning: A MAJORITY OF SHARES CONTAIN A VOTE FOR AN UNSUPPORTED SHARE IMPLEMENTATION! (v13 with 84% support) An upgrade is likely necessary. Check http://p2pool.forre.st/ for more information.

Warning: (from bitcoind) Mandatory upgrade to Litecoin 0.8.3.7+. https://litecoin.org/upgrade

Please know that firstbits always was a seriously bad idea for security and a really poor way of identifying if the owner of an address is who you expect it to be.  Have you heard of hash collisions?

136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [307.79 LTC + 0.063 BTC Awarded] Litecoin wallet for Android on: August 06, 2013, 04:16:02 AM
Just found this thread while searching for a ltc wallet for android. Any idea if this will be updated to support the new ltc qt?  I'm pretty new to all this, but I'm wondering if I set this wallet up, it will have a diff address than the wallet I have on my desktop right? Is there a way to clone the wallet so I can use both devices with the same wallet? (:
I can confirm that this wallet works for what I need but you should know that it doesn't calculate fees exactly like Litecoin-QT so you will probably want to err on the side of caution for fees. I generally do not have a problem if I include 0.01 as a fee but going with no fee is likely to cause a relaying problem that this wallet will not recover from gracefully.

The standard fee is 0.02 LTC per KB assuming they have no outputs smaller than 0.01 LTC.  Unfortunately, 0.02 LTC fee is no guarantee of it working, as this ancient version of Android Wallet has no way of knowing the mandatory fee based upon the transaction size and coin age.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE

Generally, this wallet is the result of a weekend bounty back in March that never was complete (incapable of calculating minimum fees) and was not improved since.  Others intend on a long-term maintainable port of bitcoinj and the Android Wallet for the Litecoin protocol that pretty much is starting from scratch.  This current wallet owner on the Android market is invited to join them or to step aside.  Confusing users with a dangerous, unfinished and unmaintained product is not good.

Your p2pool and litecoind node is old and insecure.  Please pay attention to the news and the alerts spamming your logs and the web interface of your own node.
