1201  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How many GHs do you need to break even if you got a miner now? on: September 17, 2013, 08:55:54 PM
86GH/s at 30 btc max cost

What is the current network hashrate?

I'd like one, if you still have them...!

I am not sure if this still going on.
1203  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How many GHs do you need to break even if you got a miner now? on: September 03, 2013, 10:45:46 PM
You probably need 1 GH/sec per $40 spent if you start mining right now to break even.

I really hope bitcoin reaches $200 quick so I can get equipment in the bitcoin store for half price!  Grin
1204  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: How many GHs do you need to break even if you got a miner now? on: September 03, 2013, 10:38:14 PM
If I got a miner, delivered right now, how many GH's would I need to possibly break even, accounting for the ever-increasing difficulty?
0.0000001 GH/s.

You'd immediately start making a profit if you're getting free mining hashpower and have zero electric costs.

Good point, haha.  Cheesy  But if I had to actually spend money, how many gigahashes?

Armory, safest and most feature rich for advance users.

What features does it have?

Trust matters a lot if you want to be trusted in the forum, lol. If someone has negative trust and they are looking to sell something, a lot of people don't want to deal with them. Especially if they don't want to use escrow. If they have a service or a site which they want to open, then a lot of people will not want to join that site because of the trust rating they have.


Nobody gives shit about the trust system which is being abused by people who got positive trust and give +rep to their friends and -rep to people they don't know like. Roll Eyes
What matters is escrow, and explanations.


As long as mods can't arbitrate on fake trust ratings and remove them, it will be worthless.

As long as they are not on the default trust or on your trust list it won't show up.

1208  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Stratum Connection Interrupted on: September 03, 2013, 10:28:34 PM
My stratum connection to a pool keeps getting "interrupted" according to my cgminer.
I'm running a 64-bit version of Windows 7.

thanks!


i ran into that kind of problem when rewriting my own pool engine. It appears miners expects "mining.notify" notifications at various minimum intervals before considering a pool as dead, interrupting connection.

for example, cgminer 3.3.3 source code include the following comment:
Quote
/* The protocol specifies that notify messages should be sent
 * every minute so if we fail to receive any for 90 seconds we
 * assume the connection has been dropped and treat this pool
 * as dead */

my rewritten pool now notifies miners at 45 seconds interval (without asking them to discard previous jobs in this case).


If you're running into that "stratum connection to pool xx interrupted" problem, there are chances the chosen pool just waits for new transactions or new blocks before notifying miners.
(i must admit i was first doing the same thing, as i could not see any minimum notification delay in specifications)



Thank you!

In the reference software defaults to zero fees,  except when a transaction fails to meet it's own tests that would qualify it as a free transactions for relay (implying that its peers would also not relay the transaction). In that case, it uses the minimum fees which would satisfy the relay rules— 0.0001 BTC/kb of txn data.  The amounts you're showing indicate that you're making rather large transactions!

(search for nMinRelayTxFee in the codebase)

Reducing it further will just result in stuck transactions, since your peers won't relay them.


Thanks!
1211  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Tx fees on: August 19, 2013, 02:54:42 AM
How are tx fees in the bitcoin client determined?  (Sometimes I get 0.004, sometimes 0.005, and sometimes nothing). Where in the source can I find them too, maybe I can create a pull request for lower tx fees!  Smiley

Thanks.
1212  Other / Off-topic / Re: Approximately, what do you think my Pseudonym (PG) is worth? [POLL] on: August 18, 2013, 02:17:56 PM
I'm just curious, but feel free to PM me if you have any questions.  Wink

I wonder if my account would be worth more if I promised to stay away for X period of time.

I'm guessing not that much since the buyer would have to donate to this site to become a VIP so that they would have the ability to change the nym. Then, there's the task of altering some of the posts, of which I would help... did I just pen that?

There was someone around that buys accounts if that's what you're looking for.  Haven't seen much with that since the change to activity though.

Yep, no more post spamming!
1213  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Implementation of colored coins? on: August 18, 2013, 02:06:21 PM
The concept has been discussed before, but is the implementation of colored coins possible?  If so, how, and is it planned to be added to bitcoin soon?

I see all this talk about SATA III SSD`s. If you are going big, why not go for a PCI-e OCZ Revodrive? At least two times faster than any SATA SSD. Smiley

Is it really true that it's two times faster?
If I used a couple of PCIe splitters so I can run 4 GPUs as well as one (or two, if I need to dual boot) of those, how much extra voltage would I use?
(do those use as much energy as a GPU)
1215  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: I'm building a (semi)SUPACOMPUTAH!!!! :D on: August 08, 2013, 09:00:21 PM
@The Goat Master
 How much does it cost to you, and what crypto are you going to mine?

I'm probably going to use coinchoose and mine at middlecoin or multipool
1216  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: I'm building a (semi)SUPACOMPUTAH!!!! :D on: July 29, 2013, 09:19:06 PM
YAI you using such expensive parts? If its a mining rig don't "trick" it out unnecessarily

its for gaming, computing, and some mining!  Smiley Cheesy
1217  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: I'm building a (semi)SUPACOMPUTAH!!!! :D on: July 28, 2013, 12:55:22 PM
1.9k?  i thought they were only 1.4
"only"  Smiley
expensive!!!!   Shocked

If you really want an epic machine, look at the server board section on newegg.

http://www.newegg.com/Server-Motherboards/SubCategory/ID-302

So, for example here's a board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131861 with dual LGA 2011 slots and 6x 16x PCIe slots

Slap two of these chips in there: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117272

And you'll have 16 cores at 3.8 Ghz Unfortunately each of those chips is $1.9k a peice.

On the other hand, if you go AMD you can get much lower cost chips.  So for example here is an 8 core, 3.1Ghz chip for $345, which you could slap on this board.  Unfortunately it only has 2x 16x PCI express slots though. But definitely cheaper then intel in terms of CPU strength.

(although remember Intel does more per core then AMD, so an 8x Intel will be about as fast as 16x AMD cores - but probably much more expensive)

With 2 GPUs how much wattage do you think that would use?
And how bout with 4?  If I want to mine too!

btw, thanks!
I love rare earth elements!
1218  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: I'm building a SUPACOMPUTAH!!!! :D on: July 27, 2013, 01:07:04 PM
64GB is a waste unless you're using software that can utilize it.  I run a fairly resource hoggy CAD that can't burn up 16GB with Photoshop running in the background.
Ir you are looking for ideas, a data mining application build using SQL Server Enterprise with Full Text Search enabled will easily burn through 512GB of RAM and bog down 64 cores.

OP edited with suggestions!  Is it supa?  Or still only semi supa?

Maybe more GPUs?
