J'avais fait un virement avec succès il y a 3 mois, merci pour cette mise en garde...

I find it a bit amusing for people to say "THANK YOU" here.

Of course, I appreciate the efforts, really, it's better than nothing. But I believe that what happens here, in real world standards (vs BTC world), is just due diligence, and I'm looking forward to hearing about the remaining 94% of the debt.

I will say thank you when 100% will be paid back, and that will be politeness. I don't say "thank you" to my bank for not getting my money stolen, you see what I mean?

As for sympathy, the whole "we can't tell you anything" is just too heavy for me

Cheers

Let me translate CK's thought: you need an ASIC miner for Bitcoin mining with the current version of cgminer.

If you want to GPU mine scrypt coins, you'll need an older version up to 3.7.x and to turn a few pages back and read this thread Wink

Hi everyone,

I've been working on making a logo for Quark for awhile now.

...

Interesting logos, the current one looks a bit nuclear don't you guys think? Cheesy

Congratulations for your nomination at SourceForge Smiley

Quote from: SourceForge.net Update
December Project of the Month

The December Project of the Month is CPUMiner, which is a tool that can be used to mine crypto-currencies. Read my interview with CPUMiner project admin "Pooler" on our blog to learn more about how it came about, who started it, and some other interesting details.

Congratulations to Pooler and the CPUMiner project on being selected as this month's POTM!

I wish I were an observer here but I got several BTCs held in hostage here  Cry

So, you said there would be a first repayment today, at an undisclosed ratio AFAIK, why is this? And how do we get that first repayment? It is past 9pm here, and already "tomorrow" in Australia... sigh. Oh, that's Cyprus, right.

Please, don't make it look worse than it should!

You should probably read about the Huygens–Fresnel principle, it also applies to lenses, as far as I know.

Oh, and there's an off-topic section too Grin

All funds from BitFunder accounts were "transferred" to their respected WeEx accounts a week or so ago.

It's still insolvent and BF is the same as WeEx as far as I'm concerned. Not even inserting a raw notice on the website about the situation is not reinsuring to say the least, although desperately usual in Bitcoin landscape. Sigh.

Let's wait until Monday and see how we move forward...

Calling bitcoin a scamcoin isn't the best way to advertise your own coin , even if you do it in an ironic way.
If not it will just bring more people to look suspicious at quarkcoin and its supporters.
So , for the good of us all , stop with the nonsense.

Please don't feed the troll, just pull the I trigger Wink
1291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 15, 2013, 12:49:20 AM
I still think that once the payout is made the hashrate is effectively distributed to the various miners and that the pool owner no longer has 51% so no attack is possible.

Now if the pool owner suspends distribution that may be a different story.

That doesn't mean that a fork isn't possible, it just can't be maliciously used.

And I still believe you don't get the problem. It's not about the pool owner being able to "control", i.e. own your coins, i.e. detain the private key of the new address they're at. It's about being able to use them -- or any other of your coins for that matter, as long as he knows their addresses -- as inputs for new transactions that MUST be accepted by at least ONE miner to get into the block chain.

If 90% of miners are rejecting your transactions maliciously (i.e. disobeying protocol by excluding them, but still producing technically acceptable blocks by all nodes following that protocol), and ALL blocks produced by the other 10% are rejected by the 90% (again, maliciously, disobeying protocol, but technically he can), then your coins are effectively embargoed: you still own them, but you can't use them.

So your coins are effectively worthless at least until the situation changes, because until then, none of your transactions will ever get a single confirmation on the whole network (or they'll be orphaned eventually)

Nearly 1000 LTC mined since early this year and more than happy with the pool, congratulations!

Did you ever think about re-opening automated signup by referral only? I got a few friends of mine addicted and hate to say them to use other pools. One or two invites for power members at least? Like torrent sites Wink

Cheers

Wouldn't a scam pool set fees to 0% or very low, but not 3%, to attract more people into its scam?

It doesn't really make sense to me. But there are so many things that don't make sense in BTC world... *sigh*
1294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 14, 2013, 11:55:46 PM
No he can't! You are really out in left field on how transactions and the block chain work.

Sorry , but you have no clue what you talk about.
Somebody who has 51% of the hash rate can make any coins out there useless because he can deny all the transactions from that address.
Google a bit , it would help Smiley

I can confirm this, to make it simple: your transactions are still relayed on the network, true, but if 90% of the miners (through their pool) are excluding your transactions from their mined blocks, AND they reject, as part of the conspiracy, every block mined from foreign nodes (that would confirm your tx's), then...

tl;dr: yes your coins can be embargoed completely quite "easily" by someone with 90%.
1295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 14, 2013, 11:26:53 PM
He can block them from ever be spend for example:)

Go for a win-win: team-up with him and double (triple, quadruple, n-uple...) spend at will Cheesy

It still requires clever engineering to actually profit from double spend attacks, even with 90% hashrate under control, you can't force every node on the network (thinking of the exchanges) to think and accept whatever you would like them to.

Hope to quickly knew the % of stolen/lost BTC.

+1

More signal, less noise, thanks Wink
1297  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 14, 2013, 10:57:49 PM
Of course doesn't make this the coin worthless, but imho in the longer run, for a stable and widely accepted coin, this must be fixed.

True, especially for a coin whose motto says "super secure" Cheesy
1298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: December 14, 2013, 10:39:11 PM
The >51% situation is the same for many alts (think of "rare" MM coins like DVC or IXC and BitParking, they also have >90%).

Of course it's suboptimal, but it doesn't make the coin worthless. It merely means that miners have decided to trust a single entity to pool their efforts. Nothing more, and, granted, nothing less: trusting a central entity is not the aim of crypto coins IMO, at least not the original Bitcoin.

Miners could, theoretically, at any time, move away from CoinMine.pl and solo mine and/or switch pools, if they no longer trust them, or if they are no longer pleased by their policy.
1299  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: December 14, 2013, 10:29:01 PM
Ugh. No fans attached. And I have used 2 different power supplies with the unit, so -- it probably isn't them, as fuses have been blown while attached to each. And it is running vertically.

Thanks.

How long have you been running them on average before the fuses got burnt?

If you have a multimeter, did you try to measure the amperage drawn from the 12V lines by the Blade?
1300  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Dogie's Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: December 14, 2013, 10:14:07 PM
I have a V2 blade which has gone through three of those tiny fuses. It runs great other than that. What am I doing wrong?

Obviously you board is drawing too much current, so you must find the sucker. V2 Blades don't have voltage tuning unlike V1s, so I would rule out too high voltage. If you have connected fans to the white 2-pin power connectors, or anything else, they would be my first suspects.

Otherwise, if you are running the Blade vertically and/or there is nothing under the board that could create any ghost current, I would check the PSU voltage, for some reason it might be above 12V (would be weird, never seen that). If the PSU is okay, I would blame faulty components on the power lanes (inductors, capacitors, etc) or maybe even faulty chips. It that's the cause indeed, I'm afraid you'll have to go for a RMA.
