ahh durr my mistake, heres the CPU batch file command:

@echo off

START /LOW /B minerd.exe --algo scrypt --url http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 --userpass klondike_bar.1:x --threads 4 -r -1 -s 5


its essentially the default configuration as im not sure how best to utilise my  i7 620m (2.67GHz)

Ive got it working now, but at ~3.2khash/core (~13 khash/s) it feels slower than what i would expect (i imagined 20+ khash/s)
-r -1 <-- dont specify this. dont set --threads too, so it uses all threads and maps each thread to a core (it does this on unix, dunno if this works in winblows). there is no need to set -s 5 too since this is default.

so just:   @echo off

START /LOW /B minerd.exe --algo scrypt --url http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 --userpass klondike_bar.1:x

im running about 13.6 khash/s now, about an 8% increase. any other tweaks i should be aware of?
besides turning other applications off who hog the CPU no, the mining itself is made in ASM (Assembler) to get the full hashing power out of ur CPU.
13.6kH/s is acceptable fur such a crappy CPU Smiley
i got 57kH/s with a i7 2700k @ 5GHz overclocked and linux (makes a difference too)

I must be utilising this wrongly;

it tells me its initialising 4 threads but nothing more, even minutes later. do i need this in the litecoin directory?
full command line ur using or this is just guessing.

cgminer --scrypt -o http://mine.pool-x.eu:8337 -u klondike_bar.1 -p x --shaders 40 --intensity 13 --worksize 64 -g 1 --gpu-engine 285 --gpu-memclock 760

its an nvidea NVS 3100m. default clocks are 300/800, but i found decreasing them slightly has little effect on hashrate but drastically improves on hardware errors (went from about 1 accept per 4 errors down to 5 accepts per 1 error)
invalid, this is the wrong thread! this thread is for cpuminer (minerd) not cgminer!
1791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devcoin Receiver File Problem on: January 05, 2013, 09:11:55 PM
The problem might be because this page is down:
http://devcoinblockexplorer.info/receiver/receiver_18.csv

and indeed the entire site is down. However, devcoin should time out in about 30 seconds and reload the other two receiver pages, so I don't really know why it's not working. In any case, if:
http://devcoinblockexplorer.info

is not up within four days, I'll ask Jasinlee to take over the third receiver file, and everything should eventually work.

I received a message that devcoinblockexplorer is being worked on, and the ETA for the return of the site is Jan 10 2013. Assuming that happens, there's no need to move over the third receiver file.

if u need another hoster i can do this.

I'm at 387MB on windows 7 using python x64.

M
so you use python and not py2exe? i think the py2exe is the faulty thing. one time allocated RAM cant be freed anymore maybe, this is usual behavior of such tools.
give it a try with py2exe, if u got the same "leak" (even it isnt a leak) we would know why this is happening.
1795  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: January 05, 2013, 08:19:53 PM
It still leaks memory, after less than a day I'm already around 1 Gb of ram used.
spiccioli

I can confirm this. 2 GB (RES) in 2-3 days and then I'm forced to restart.


couldnt this be related to the increase in incoming connections?

my p2pool is at 300MB, limited to 10 outgoing and 6 incoming connections

my bitcoind is limited to 900 outgoing and 1000 total and it's at 4GB (well, ok, 3.5)


i have no port forwarding and now after 2.5 days uptime with 50 outgoing connection it only uses 611MB!
this is clearly not p2pools fault, its the python version (or py2exe) fault. maybe its even more horrible on winblows.

50 outgoing connections?  all manual?

Only have 6 here, 1 of which is manual.

Maybe that's the source of your memory usage.

M
611MB isnt alot! i did modify some parts (for example the connection one to allow 50 outgoing cons) to reduce my stale, im atm at 0.21% stale.
someone else did confirm they have heavy RAM Usage, my guess is that they use winblows with py2exe and therefore it leaks or to be correct, the unused RAM isnt being freed.

1797  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Can someone verify the trustworthiness of this Android App? on: January 05, 2013, 01:48:45 AM
Don't Android apps that talk to the network need permissions to do so?

This app isn't listed as needing permissions to access anything other than the camera.

I'm developing a tool for iPhone to help create encrypted paper wallets and plan to put it in the app store.  The idea is that you can put your passphrase into the tool, the tool will assist you in ordering paper wallets from someone else that require your passphrase, but without actually divulging the passphrase.  The tool will also verify (via scanning QR codes) that the paper wallets you receive are legitimate and that they're really encrypted with your passphrase.

I wish there were a more robust way for users to know it's not leaking their passphrase.  I will be releasing the source, and at least the binary will be signed, but the average iPhone user isn't going to be able to compile or install it without payware.

I suppose, at least, that someone interested in compiling this tool themselves could just do that with my desktop utility.
there are several ways to bypass this which arent fixed to date!
http://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-18/dc-18-presentations/Lineberry/DEFCON-18-Lineberry-Not-The-Permissions-You-Are-Looking-For.pdf
there's another security issue where u can use the internal browser to create a tunnel outside (couldnt find the link, altough didnt search long) and therefore the app dosnt need any permissions.
therefore u cant know if its secure unless u test it in a sandbox or got the sourcecode.
1798  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - Discussion Thread on: January 05, 2013, 01:43:08 AM
Someone just asked me about how to run Armory over Tor.  I realized that not only do I have no idea,  but I've heard users claim they have done it,  and I never paid attention.  Can someone please explain how to do it?  I will add the description to the webpage once I see a consensus.
I managed to get armory to connect to bitcoin-QT while on Tor by changing the default listening address in tor to 8333*, then simply running bitcoin-QT and Armory as usual.  I believe the command --listenaddress** allows you to change the default listening address to 9050 so it will work with the normal Tor/bitcoin-QT settup, but I never got this to work.

*Is this the right default SOCKS address for bitcoin-QT?
**I'm not sure this is the right startup command can you confirm/correct this etotheipi?

Hope this helps.  Grin I typed in a hurry so if detail are missing let me know.

Port 8333 is the default listening port for Bitcoin-Qt.   I am not familiar with proxies at all, and never really used any custom CLI options with Bitcoin-Qt.  So I can't really comment any further on this.  But if someone can give me a short list of what needs to be done to get Bitcoin-Qt-already-connected-to-tor, to play nice with Armory, I'll happily post it on my website.

Also, Armory does a version check when it first opens, which can be disabled by going to "Help-->Armory Version..." and clicking "Never check for new versions".  Someone complained about that.  There's also an "online check" to determine if the user has an internet connection -- basically it just checks for google.com.  That can be disabled via --skip-online-check on the CLI.
I used to run bitcoin through tor as a hidden service.  I'll experiment more and write up some nice steps.  However, it should be really simple and nothing should really need to be done to armory since it uses bitcoind for all of it's networking anyway.

The proper way to get bitcoin to use tor is to add "proxy=localhost:9050" (assuming tor is listening locally on the default port) to bitcoin.conf.  No need to mess with tor's listen address.  You will also need "listen=1" so it will be able to communicate locally with armory.

When I had a tor hidden service running, I also had "discover=1" and "externalip=mylongstringofgibberish.onion"  I'm not sure if those options will need tweaking for Armory.

Then start armory with "--skip-online-check."  It would be nice if there was also a flag for "--skip-version-check" to stop that from leaking.
all you need is to add the -listen

Dear Red Emerald,

Thanks a lot for making this tap.  It really makes it a lot easier - except that this time I run into a snag:

Code:
$ brew upgrade
==> Upgrading 3 outdated packages, with result:
armory-qt 0.86.3-beta, netpbm 10.60.05, sqlite 3.7.15
==> Upgrading armory-qt
==> Cloning https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory.git
Updating /Library/Caches/Homebrew/armory-qt--git
==> Checking out tag v0.86.3-beta
==> Patching
patching file ArmoryQt.command
==> git verify-tag v0.86.3-beta
error: cannot run gpg: No such file or directory
error: could not run gpg.

READ THIS: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/troubleshooting

Note that I do have gpg installed, and can run it from the command line:

Code:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.0.17

When brew installs things, I think it uses a modified PATH.

Code:
which gpg
echo $PATH

Until we figure this out, you can install with the "--skip-verify" flag.

$ echo $PATH
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

$ which gpg
/usr/local/bin/gpg

That thing has real problems if it cannot find /usr/local/bin ...
try fixing it with this (as root or with sudo):
Code:
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gpg /usr/bin/gpg
i saw alot of scripts/binarys which call gpg directly with /usr/bin/gpg, so this may be the problem here Wink

if you use a proxy (as u do with TOR) the -listen is being disabled, so bitcoind dosnt listen anymore to port 8333, therefore u have to put -listen in it too (u did enforce this with ur listen address), you shouldnt change it to port 9050 (default TOR port) since TOR is already listening on this port, bitcoind wont be able to listen then!
