I connect to the exact same address, so I really can't tell what the problem. Maybe the handshake is not executing properly before it enters the main receive loop?

SOLVED! Thanks for your help.

Stupid me forgot about that transparent squid proxy.

Am receiving messages, now to the fun stuff!

Why do I have to click and load a page? Why not just put an address right there?

Here you are!

Would greatly appreciate donations to help cover the cost of gas/magazine, though I'm not too worried about it Smiley

NICE! Thanks for scanning!

Where should I send my donation?

EDIT: I would increase my donation if you posted direct links to the images... can't seem to find that easily on imageshack.

EDIT2: never mind about the direct links:

slush to be honest i will give deepbit a 48 hour try and compare averages

That wont tell you anything stastically significant.

It's like switching lanes in heavy traffic.

hey cdhowie,

great proxy, just checking it out.

Had problems with the php notices spamming the pages to the point where chrome refused to render them (they get inserted before DOCTYPE decl):

Example:
Code:
<br /> 
<b>Notice</b>:  Undefined variable: viewdata in <b>/var/www/localhost/htdocs/bmproxy/admin/pool.php</b> on line <b>55</b><br />
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
...

I simply put
Code:
error_reporting(E_ERROR);
in my config.inc.php, that fixed the issue nicely.

Maybe you want to set the error_reporting level somewhere centrally to avoid this problem happening to others and also to avoid having to explain all the notices.

Lesson learn
a) Don't take holiday Smiley
b) If I'll take holiday, don't tell it anybody Wink.
c) Try to setup watchdog restarting bitcoind when it started to use too much memory.


Man, option a) Is fucking sad! Don't do that.

Anybody see this? It been nuked several times from HN people.

Hehe, this author actually got me to stop reading by saying the following:

If you honestly believe that abandoning the gold standard was a bad idea - and there are indeed people who believe this - then you might as well stop reading now. Wiser men than I have explained in excruciating detail why you're an idiot. This article will not convince you, it will just make you angry.

Unbelievable, usually an author saying "stop here if xzy" just keeps me going.

Did anyone read it to the end. Does it continue like it started off?
12088  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Todays difficulty increase to 156000, where from here? on: May 10, 2011, 09:01:31 AM
So in about seven hours the difficulty will change.  Where do you see it going next?  It is going to be around 156000 today.

My guest.... 170000

My guess.... 222222

You know you can bet on this on http://bitbet.org? Unfortunately that site is down and will be for some weeks as it seems due to hw fail.

I would never bet on something that can be manipulated by another bettor.

Well, it's hard enough to manipulte it to go up. Down is even harder (except for people like slush, artforz, etc... who are unlikely to do something as boring, counter-productive and extremely costly for them as betting on difficulty and then manipulating it).

However, if someone has a lot of hashing power about to go online, he might well use that "insider knowledge" to his advantage when betting.

I'm with you on not wanting to bet on difficulty, btw.

A bet is a good way of making people actually think about what they believe will happen, though Wink. Looking at data on a lively betting platform can give you quite an idea of what people think will happen and probably also what will happen. You even have the "probabilities" of the events right there.

If I understand this right... the person creating the poll gets 100% of the funds that are "voted" with?

Interesting...  I need to start thinking up good polls then.  Smiley

Looking forward to that.

However: I haven't implemented "Poll Creation" yet, so you can't create your own poll currently.

I'll implement that once the remaining 1.35 BTC have been donated for that feature. So maybe you want to donate a little to the address given on http://bitpoll.dyndns.org/?poll=1 for the option "good idea, implement poll creation" Wink
12090  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BitPoll - combine donating and voting on: May 09, 2011, 05:13:08 PM
Maybe it's a stupid question, but...Why do you check the chain every 5 minutes if blocks are added every 10 minutes?
Well, I it can take less than 10 minutes, but I think blocks are never generated as fast as every 5 minutes.

Anyway, it seems a good idea.

Well, it takes 10 minutes on average until a block is generated. I think the distribution is a poisson distribution.

A <5 minute block is not uncommon (see the yellow marks on http://www.bitcoinmonitor.com/, there where 7 <5 minute blocks in the last 60 minutes. Of course the fact that a difficulty increase is immanent helps this, we're mining too fast at the moment).
12091  Economy / Economics / Re: Timecoin on: May 09, 2011, 03:39:58 PM
My proposal is Freicoin, but nobody seem to like demurrage nor Gesell here.

In complementary currencies' field, demurrage is a cost associated with owning or holding currency. It is sometimes referred to as a carrying cost of money. The term was used by Silvio Gesell. It is regarded by some as having a number of advantages over interest: while interest on deposits lead to discount the future and to place immediate gains ahead of long-term concerns, demurrage does the opposite, creating an incentive to invest in assets which lead to longer-term sustainable growth. Furthermore, demurrage acts like inflation, stimulating the circulation of the currency, encouraging economic activity, and increasing employment.

Interesting indeed.

12095  Economy / Marketplace / Re: [BETA] MTGox websocket API, testers wanted on: May 09, 2011, 11:59:10 AM
I grabbed a copy of the pywsc Websockets library for Python and am receiving trades, orders, and ticker events.
Hmm, I also tried this. Can't seem to succeed.

What port do I have to use? I tried like this:
Code:
from pywsc.websocket import WebSocket
ws = WebSocket('ws://websocket.mtgox.com:80/mtgox')
This bails with "error receiving" in receiver.py. I inserted debugging output to see what it's receiving. It seems to receive the <html/> page you get when you request http://websocket.mtgox.com/.

I'm confused and obviously doing something wrong. Can someone help?

12098  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (270Ghash/s) on: May 08, 2011, 08:32:32 AM
Payout are still jacked.  I'll be back once payouts start working again.

1.) Slush might be holding back payouts because he doesn't want to pay a botnet (wild speculation)

2.) why do people need a payout from pool of 0.20 BTC like 5 times a day (see screenshot somewhere above)? Do they spend these coins instantly? Do they not trust slush for 1 BTC? (note: I don't really care, since a lot of transactions are a good test of the network, I just don't understand the logic)

3.) How the hell are people "loosing profit" when payouts are delayed for a day or so? It's not like mtgox is going down.
12099  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (270Ghash/s) on: May 08, 2011, 08:21:05 AM
darn it, only been mining since Sunday on my 5850 (on Slush's pool) and found my first block this morning.. And got one of the lowest payouts I've ever gotten on the pool hehe 0.028 BTC!

Oh well, I'm sure it evens out, but it would be great to have 50 BTC's right now Smiley

I had earned a total of 46 BTC when I found my first block. In the long run, yes, it all evens out. Smiley

With difficulty rapidly on the increase, does it really for small time miners?   I think that is why the pools are so alluring.

That's actually a good point. Were I more awake, we could do some math on the topic. Tongue I do know that I SS'ed it and posted it all over the place...I was very happy. Just got it a few days ago. Smiley

You don't need to do math to know that for slow miners a pool is better. Even with my 760 mhps, I didn't find a block since the last difficulty rise (since 4/26 even) and the probability of me not finding one until the next rise is not small. So I might well miss a whole 2016 block with "relatively low" difficulty. With probability on the rise like nowadays, that's "missing out on a lot", cause I didn't mine anything at difficulty 109670, but would have in the pool.

As said above, though, switching to a pool now, then finding a block there and saying: "I should've continued solo, cause I found a block", is wrong. While the chances are the same, it happening in one parallel universe doesn't mean it happens in another, especially because we're not even talking about the same event (the block one finds solo looks differnt from the block he would've found at the exact same time in the pool (differnt timestamp, different key, maybe different txs).
