OK, I made 3 screenshots, ignore all the core clocks and stuff that afterburner is showing (i only use it for temperature/usage monitoring and sometimes voltage).. the one computer is using catalyst 11.12 because of 5 gpu. i would have taken a screenshot of a computer similar to the 3rd (that is using catalyst 12.1) that showed GPU bumping around but i have all usb slots disabled in bios on that one and didnt want to reboot it... it's using catalyst 12.1 with crappy sempron and 3 gpu the first, the GPU usage dipped just a little bit (where it has that big drop, that was just me doing something).. that is on a dual core 3.2ghz (underclocked to 2.0ghz or so but didnt disable a core)  (^^ ed: I just looked at that more closely and not sure wtf happened there at the end, with the restart being overwritten) the second, this is my main computer, i7 etc  the third, this is a Sempron, 3ghz? maybe 3.2ghz... the drops seem to coincide with the stratum restarts (the "somewhat" flat period was the 20 seconds or so with no restarts)  all intensities are at 7, and, yes, i get a lot of rejects (this is common to both, so nothing about stratum there).. 180ms to server, but better than using my home connection that has no upstream bandwidth |

I am expecting to get out of the bitcoin mining business sooner that later. At the same time, I am still a fan of p2pool and would be happy to continue to maintain p2pool.info long after I am no longer personally mining. However, as I shut down my home mining operation and all the servers running in my house that support that operation, I'd like to remove the dependency p2pool.info has on server(s) running inside my house, and I'm hoping someone in the p2pool community can help.
What p2pool.info needs is access to a bitcoind server's RPC interface. For security reasons, ideally this would be a bitcoind instance that had an empty wallet that had never been used.
These are the RPCs that p2pool.info uses:
* getblockcount
* getdifficulty
* getblockhash
* getblock
* getrawtransaction
As for bitcoin version, it needs to be at least 0.7 as some of the RPCs above were new in 0.7. If it happens to be running a version of 0.8 or the GIT tree with the new optimized storage structure, it needs to be running with the txindex=1 configuration setting because p2pool.info needs to be able to look at all generation transactions for all blocks.
I'm hoping that someone here is already running bitcoind in a datacenter somewhere and would be willing to let p2pool.info's web server connect to it to watch for p2pool blocks. If you have a bitcoind server whose RPC interface is accessible over the internet and that you'd be willing to give me access to, please let me know.
would it have fallbacks? my bitcoind is on most of the time, but not always.. |

is there something that would help w/ this? i've already tried turning off DCA and killed off all but the 5 or 6 essential services (all run windows)
What miner are you using? Basically there's no reason for issues like this just because of switching from getwork to stratum... cgminer, with intensity all at 7... it possibly wouldnt occur on something other than p2pool. but i have used p2pool w/ both stratum & without and i don't get the short freezes when not using it. hmm, would nagle being disabled have some effect more on stratum than on getwork? |

Stratum seems to cause a lot of problems w/ my systems with crappy CPU and 4+ GPUs.... they jump between 95-99% activity, and I can visibly see cursor jumping around... doesn't happen with longpolling
is there something that would help w/ this? i've already tried turning off DCA and killed off all but the 5 or 6 essential services (all run windows)
ed: i'm speaking of p2pool only in regard to long poll vs stratum. p2pool has a lot more stratum requests than a normal pool would, i guess

so, if i ran a botnet friendly pool, what fee would i be able to charge? 5%? 10%?

Most likely, he sold it to himself to attract this kind of attention. Paint the tape
It's a shame more people don't use BitFloor though. It's the only exchange which offers nearby bank deposits, but it's impossible to buy anything below the GOX high. the deposit method is/was too inconvenient (i noticed some new option was added, no clue about that). the withdrawal method is inconvenient in some cases, where one doesnt want to withdraw money to bank but would rather move it elsewhere online |

Ok, so I've got over 20,000 transaction thanks to Satoshidice and there have been a few unconfirmed transactions for many months now (both tx and rx) so today I decided I would transfer out all of the remaining Bitcoins and start a new wallet because I've had some issues with this one... My final transaction (luckily fairly small) never made it so after a few hours of research I was able to find it on the unconfirmed list at bitcoincharts.com and it is still not showing up on blockchain.info in any way. This is cut and pasted directly from Bitcoin Charts and I'm hoping someone can please help me figure out why this transaction is stuck or what I can do to fix it. I'm completely stumped, I have searched for hours but I can't figure out what to do. It's boxed in red and I'm thinking it has something to do with these unconfirmed inputs but I'm really not sure!? Desperately need some help please! Feb. 11, 2013, 10:46 p.m. 21e2c8b8f18b0ff723fbd19f4e5cacfe80ce4abd22dfb204d7bb069d15f9b45a This is a low priority transaction.

using it as a source only since it shows the exact same BTC amt as what you reported above it says 0 balance it seems to me like you could reindex (or whatever the command is to re-do all the transactions) the entire wallet and then you'd have the erroneous balance of 3.99989991 again? so omit the amounts from 1Gvup and it looks like that other account has like .0001 or something. make the transaction fee larger than normal, giving it priority over ^^ that one (not sure if this is necessary or not, but might as well make it .000501 or something instead). then send 1.4 or whatever instead of 3.99 (though, wouldn't this try to send from that 1Gvup account? why does it report a balance anyway? maybe have to send out another double spend from 1Gvup and 19fmQx first to empty them out?  ) |

I'v got ~9% invalid shares. Is this normal? 9% DOA isn't normal, 9% DOA + stale is better than avg (most of the time), 9% stale would be around the median oh i just looked at SS, so I guess those wouldnt be orphans, they'd be DOA? yeah, that's high |

"I think I smell something too...smells like bacon. Yeah, I'm definitely getting some kind of pork product smell."
haha what a load anyway, are they even allowed to come on to my property to, uh, sniff up against my window? or perhaps they smelled these chemicals from like 50 yards away on the road? i didnt let them enter my house, though i did tell them what was actually running. unsure if anything further will happen |

well quit making meth in your computer room
well, i wish i knew if it was just some patrol car driving around and seeing an open window with a fan in it when it's 40o outside rather than some jackass neighbor so now i have to suspect them all of being douches |
|

oh, yeah, and seeing as how it was at 1AM, that means the entire city's (3500ppl) onduty police force was here investigating the Chemical Smell issuing forth from my house
|

yeah, so I just got a visit from the PD (two cars, no less) about the "chemical smell" coming from my open window (in the room w/ all my computers)
i thought that whole shit was an urban myth
anyway, i lolled

cgminer @ 1.05V/820/300, 377W, 761Mh/s well, that's not best really anyway, since you can pull 757Mh/s at 820/140 |

Coherent Logix's HyperX!
 According to them, ASICs are already more efficient... well, the hyperx could be at the top of the bubble and the asic at the bottom... plus, given the stated development time, they could probably ship them out before BFL |

This is a newbie question...
I've installed bitcoin-qt and Armoury on on a PC. After ages, (more than 8 hours) the blockchain is still downloading. (Last received block generated 175 days ago).
Instead of going through the same rigmarole again on another PC, can I install bitcoin-qt, and move the files from C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin to the new installation?
Which files do I need?
Are blk0001.dat, blk0002.dat and blkindex.dat enough? (I don't need to move my wallet.dat)
Can they just be "dropped into place", or is there a command line option I need to use to make it recognised?
Many Thanks!
Yes, blk0001.dat, blk0002.dat and blkindex.dat are enough. (Unless there is a new blk0003.dat then you need it to.) Before moving any files start both the bitcoin-qt clients, go to options, and check the box which says detach database at shutdown. Then close both clients. (Make sure they are closed in taskmanager.) then you are free to move the block chain files. P.S. You can start the bitcoin clients with the command option -detachdb to accomplish the same thing as checking the box. P.S. After the files are successfully imported you may want to deselect the detach database at shutdown to speed up the shut down of the bitcoin-qt clients. for? reindexing? unless you have 8GB RAM for a ramdrive or less than 10Mbps downstream, it'd be quicker to DL |
