Did you forget that Bitcoin isn't anonymous? Kinda defeats the point of Tor to de-anonymise it...
It's anonymizable. That's good enough. Not really. Someone perfect, with no interaction with the real world, might be able to use it anonymously. But nobody's perfect. |

But the cgminer client is running fine with the same config except for the d=0: They're both running fine: work updates are a perfectly normal part of mining. Stratum pools just do it more often than non-stratum ones traditionally have. You can ask cgminer why they only announce http work updates if you like. --quiet-work-updates will hide it in BFGMiner. |
|
|
|
|
Reminder: Whether it works in practice or not, exchange addresses have always been unsupported for mining to on Eligius. Namecoin is a domain name system, not a currency.

But people in the US refuse to even use the metric system, which is, I think, a lot more intuitive for non-computer people, being base-10. It's hard to imagine getting most people to use a base-16 system, even if it is clearly superior overall. On the contrary, decimal is a very unnatural system for humans to work with. We're good at binary division, not fifths. The SI ("metric system") people refused to consider non-decimal systems because their treaty/mandate was to create a specifically decimal system of units. Their system has achieved adoption only by force, never freely, and encountered (and still encounters) plenty of reasonable resistance. Despite the many flaws with the US, I have to give it props for not forcing this unnatural system on us.  |

Huh. I guess I just assumed that everyone who participates in the DST stuff switched at the same time. Learn something new every day Tonal ftw. No DST nonsense. I have no idea what 'tonal' means in this context - but I am totally down with getting rid of DST  In the tonal system it is defined that there are 10 tims per day, which are further divided into 10 timtons, 100 timsans, and 1000 timmills (all numbers in tonal base, 8*2). There is no DST defined, and it is generally used without time zones. So the time right now is .0045 |

I was wondering if you could add JSONP commands to your APIs.
JSONP extension of your APIs would allow to access bfgminer directly from any static (local to browser) page.
AJAX calls can be made from the browser directly to API port. No cross-domain issues. How about CORS? That seems to be the way to go nowadays...? |
|
|
|
For now we are most believe in ORICO A3H10 hub. Price per port is right and quality is very good. But they will always be OFF after a power failure. I'd recommend the ORICO P10-U3 instead. |

WeBisect keeps timing out and not refreshing once the new build is ready. I don't have time now. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Back to 3.2.1 for me.
Are you giving it enough time? It needs to actually build each commit  Like I said before, 5-10 minutes should be enough. For a single build, probably. Looking at the log for your session, though, it was hitting some commits that failed to build on Windows; when this happens, it automatically skips them for you and moves on. You can always come back to your session later, if it's taking too long. |

webisect failed. The first build it gave me was an old version(3.1.1) even though I told it to work from 3.2.1, and the commandline flags i tried giving, weren't accepted. I tried skipping the build, but no new build was supplied(after waiting 5-10 min for it to auto refresh.
Fixed this - the branches weren't up to date, so webisect didn't have 3.4.0 yet. You should be able to continue the same session safely now. |
|
|
|
This is what happens when I run bfgminer using the flags passed by MultiMiner. This rig mines fine on 3.2.1, but for some reason 3.3.0+ won't work. crossposted in the MultiMiner thread, as well. Please bisect this. |
|
|
|
Will 3.4.0 retry failed COM ports when initialising USB BEs? I guess I can try tomorrow, but it's be nice to have a confirmation befor re-installing the UPS monitoring software.
When you tell it to, like 3.3 and 3.2 did... |

NEW VERSION 3.4.0, OCTOBER 26 2013Human readable changelog:- New drivers for KnC miners and NanoFury USB miners.
- Per-chip dynamic osc6_bits detection for BFSB, MegaBigPower, and Metabank bitfury boards.
- Ability to set default options for various devices using --set-device commandline option; for example, if you have all your NanoFury miners in a USB 3 hub (with 900 mA power available), you can increase the oscillator speed with: --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=53 (or "set-device":["NFY:osc6_bits=53"] in a config file).
- Con Kolivas's completely rewritten load-balance strategy with per pool quota support. See the updated README to see how it works.
- If we switch away from a pool in failover mode, we will now only switch back to it if it's up for at least 5 minutes to avoid reconnecting to pools that are only intermittently up - good for DDoS situations which we've seen a lot of lately. (by Con Kolivas)
- Updated miner.php from Kano.
- Proxy settings now default to SOCKS5 instead of SOCKS4. Prefix your proxy IP with "socks4://" if you need to use the older protocol.

Not yet, but support should be added by version 3.5.
how soon is expected version 3.5. 3.4 should be today. 3.5 likely within a month. |
|
|
|
|
Note that some USB hosts/hubs may "work" at above-spec currents yet destroy the port over time!
The official BFGMiner 5.4 release will be using a new option to set the bits: --set-device osc6_bits=54
This also allows you to set it just for nanofurys: --set-device NFY:osc6_bits=54
|
|
|
|
if it supports HEH16A form technobit.eu ? Not yet, but support should be added by version 3.5. |
|
|
|

etothepi, do you plan to add support for "standard" Bitcoin signed messages any time soon (yes, I know this format is not ideal..).
More and more Eligius miners are finding they can't change settings because their signatures fail.
Alternatively, is there a simple way we could have it verify an Armory signature (eg, a CLI program/script with minimal dependencies that just returns 0 or 1)?
