It means a more secure network.  It does mean GPU mining is over, but there's a new technology until the next new technology.
i don't understand this logic, even though it's repeated quite often

yes, to a certain degree it means a more secure network, due to the proliferation of botnets.  

on the other hand, it turns bitcoin generation into an oligarchy, much moreso than it is at the moment

Quote
The small miners don't actually have enough coins to spend to influence the market in any way, besides that even big miners need to pay bills, so they will probably spend or sell mined coins too.

marginal propensity to save

the same logic you use here is the same logic that is used to bring taxes down to 0% for 'job creators'

Mining isn't the point to get more people using Bitcoin!

so what?  does it change the fact that it does?
1965  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mt.Gox trading fees: is a revision due? on: February 17, 2013, 11:08:55 AM
with bitcoins at this price, a flat $ commission would make more sense

it'd also stop all these 0.01 nonsense things... or a fee to list... but either of those would make them a lot less money.

the (base) .6% is excessive (* to such a degree that for a high volume trader, it'd make sense to trade to yourself in certain circumstances)
1966  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 release candidate 1 on: February 17, 2013, 10:55:13 AM
i actually had to do this reindex process about half a dozen times... but i'd stop it every so often to make a backup & it finally finished.

it seemed to have some random chance to get into a loop where it gets orphan blocks over and over

If you see the reindexing finding orphans over and over, it usually means one block couldn't be found, but laters blocks can be. Since one block in their ancestry can't be connected, it is reported as an orphan and skipped. It's not an infinite loop though, it will just go over all block files. We've had some bugs in pre-releases that could cause this, but for someone first trying 0.8.0rc1, my guess is that you had a few blocks on disk that actually were corrupted.

How did you fix it? If my assumption is correct, the only solution would be waiting a few minutes for it to skip all blocks you already have, and then waiting for it to start downloading from before the invalid block.

I didn't fix it per se, I just would abort the reindex process every so often and copy the files to a backup directory (hmm, starting around block 210k).  Every 2000 or 3000 blocks, I'd stop the process, copy everything over, and start it again.  Sometimes it'd get into the orphan block loop and sometimes it wouldn't...  eventually it was able to complete the whole process (w/o me changing anything in regard to what it was using to reindex)

A comment about the first comment. If the "ultimate goal is to break... bla bla bla..." so why the contract itself is calculated in USD not in BTC? If the contract was calculated in BTC the fee would not rise with the USD/BTC rate and remained steady.

Bitcoinnica was a looting operation. If you justify current fees by being similar you are effectively saying that icbit.se is a looting operation too. And with such high fees it actually is.

I've never been on icbit.se, but it was pretty easy to tell Bitcoinica was BS from the very start,

i remember mailing the guy that his site was essentially just a gambling site, since it had no actual connection to any bitcoin market (and bizarre ""bid"" and ""ask"" numbers that guaranteed bitcoinica making shitloads)

it's 5000'ish on alexa


1972  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why do people pay fees? Why are free transactions accepted by miners? on: February 16, 2013, 08:04:24 AM
i pay 0.00051, to put it ahead of all those 0.0005 ...  wouldnt want to have to wait an extra block or two  Wink


if you pay nothing, and it's not a priority transaction and you aren't mining it yourself, there's a good chance it won't go through.

if you pay 0.0001 and have modified your source to accept that, then other nodes should relay it, you'd just have to wait until a run of blocks to clear out the transaction queue since yours would be dead last (though at the moment that probably wouldnt take very long)
1973  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Announcement] Avalon ASIC Batch #1 Ships on: February 16, 2013, 07:39:14 AM

He took your money and fled.


Not really, they are working their ass off to keep their promise and ship 300 units of batch #1 this month.

So naturally you must know something that the rest of us don't?

Perhaps he recognizes that Avalon is the only company to ship any ASIC products at all? Perhaps he perceives that they've done this in 1/2 the time the "market leader" has been developing their vaporware?

Perhaps.

Speaking of vaporware, how's mining going with the other 298 Avalon units from Batch #1?

Pretty good, I think..... I mean, look at how many blocks that South Korean node got...

so it started a new share file  at 6:30, but looks like that started around 5:00-5:30

err, well, on second look, i do see a little notch around 5'ish where i lost an incoming peer and gained another

slowed down a lot now.

right before it started occurring i was doing some work on a few of my computers, and the mhash rate was fluctuating quite a bit.

yes, we definately need fallback nodes. so in case 1 bitcoind goes down, p2pool goes to the next, same if its lagging.
could you do this forrestv?

My post has nothing to do with the actual p2pool software (that forrestv develops).  I'm talking about the p2pool.info website that monitors the blockchain looking for blocks found by the p2pool software. 

Currently, it doesn't have fallback support.  While it is theoretically possible to add it, I'd rather just find a bitcoin instance to talk to that is in theory available 24/7 (baring unplanned downtime) vs something that comes and goes regularly.  If I can't find a 24/7 bitcoin to talk to, I'll suck it up and either keep running my own out of my house, or I'll do the work to point p2pool.info at blockchain.info.
Ah, well, it's around 95% for the last 6 months probably.  I tend to shut it down sometimes when doing torrenting or something o' that nature.

bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt has about a page full of 99%'ers

(i'm at 91%, but i think i just got polled at bad times...   like ^^ , around 95%)

What about just using blockchain as a backup for a bitcoind that's > 60s unresponsive?  'though I suppose that'd require you to do the same amt of work on the code

I again received:

************************
EXCEPTION: 13leveldb_error       
Database I/O error       
bitcoin in Runaway exception 

after I made a hard reset of my machine.
Harddisk is not to blame, since last time I got this error, I fsck'ed my ext4 root partition from a LiveCD and it came out clean.

(Good job I backed-up index,chainstate, and database dirs, so I restored them without having to reindex like I did last time).

i actually had to do this reindex process about half a dozen times... but i'd stop it every so often to make a backup & it finally finished.

it seemed to have some random chance to get into a loop where it gets orphan blocks over and over

Have you used them before? I've used gold exchanges for games that require them to call you, verify you etc.

If you get a verification text message, you cant really do fraud unless you have the cc and persons phone also unless you enjoy prison.
I've never used IGE to buy gold... I used to have a commission account at mysupersales where I got 60% (selling platinum from Everquest)....  when I tried to sell stuff on my own I got banned... but couple years with mysupersales, not one character ever got banned..  *scratch*
