1981  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: April 02, 2015, 03:01:41 PM
How to remember bitcoin address ?

Any services can generate BTC addy with 8-10 characters ? Thanks
Several - see earlier in this thread - but you'll generally have to pay for it, and 8-10 characters is quite costly.
Like to generate 1BTC888com it could take up to a year to get 50% on my single gtx 780ti that is running 50Mkey/s and it also depends on your luck. It could take more or less. Maximum is 2.4 years. If you have serious luck you could do it in a week but that is extreme luck.

Someone please explain to me how and what it means for a block to get orphaned.

Thanks,

Tom

An oprhaned block is a block that wasn't actually accepted into the blockchain.
True.
It usually is caused by the longer chain accepting the block because more work and effort was put forth compared to your block.
Not true.  There wasn't more work and effort put into the solution of that other block.  It's a majority consensus.  You and I both solve block number 12345.  I submit my block to the network.  You also submit yours.  If more nodes accept your version of the chain, then my block becomes orphaned.  I say to a node, "Hi, here's block 12345".  That node says, "I've already got 12345, you need to update yourself with my copy."  Eventually every node has your copy of the chain and my poor block 12345 no longer has a parent on the chain (the block it claimed as its parent has already been linked to your block) and is orphaned.
Actually, it's even simpler than that.
It's who makes the NEXT block that decides which one wins (and which is orphaned)
The block they built off becomes the winner.
Of course the statistics of it says that it is most likely to be the block being built on by the most miners, but that is just probability.

Also of course, the orphan process can continue for more than one block, if yet again the next block has 2 candidates built off the 2 original 12345 blocks - but that is very rare - but still works the same way.

What happens at a pool (or on a solo miner) is that it will submit a block to it's peers and then work on the next one.
It will base the new work on the block it submitted to the network.
If the pool (or solo miner) also happens to find the next block before anyone else, then even if they were the only ones mining off their block, it will still make them the winner.

It really boils down to who gets the next (or the next, or the next ...) block out first that decides it all.

Edit: this also, though may not be obvious, explains how a 51% works Smiley

Thanks kano! You know this stuff better than I ever will Cheesy

Quote from: en.bitcoin.it
An orphan block is a block that doesn't have a known parent in the longest chain.

Not to be confused with a stale block, which is a well-formed block which is no longer part of the difficultywise-longest well-formed blockchain.

The block reward in a staled block is no longer spendable on the difficultywise-longest well-formed blockchain; therefore whoever mined that block does not actually get the reward (or the transaction fees). This phenomenon must be taken into account by mining pools that use any payout strategy other than "proportional".

So, not like I told it?

I wonder if that's a bug in the system, or a deliberate prank (on account of today is April 1st)?

Looks like april fools is full swing.

Estimated Next Difficulty:   49,485,664,794 [b ] (+5.93%)[/b]


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qmF2knc5rSrJLESgQJYBz8mPzpKihmSzPPQUGH7pT8g/edit#gid=561061211

   (+7.60%)

624 blocks left  4.3 days  left

It looks like that huge spike in difficulty about a week ago was just luck?

still up 7% that is way more then gear sold.

I think the 11-13  spike was gear sold + upgrade of a big farm + good  luck.

So the 6-7 now is gear sold + upgrade of a big farm + 0 luck or  - luck
We just love speculation Cheesy

OmegaCollector, I've been having terrible luck on boxbit.co.in. Consistently hitting low satoshi boxes. Anyways, I got my first payout of 16390 satoshi. You earn 20% which means I earned you 3278 satoshis for week 1! Woooo! 50% of that is mine as per our deal, so mark down that you owe me 1639 satoshi. You can keep that and bundle it up with next week's payout, which will hopefully be higher. Would you be interested in running a similar deal for a sign up at http://boxdoge.co.in/?

ezeminer, I've been working hard earning you some satoshi and Doge on freebitco.in and freedoge.co.in respectively. Thanks for the bonus Doge you've been sending. I'm looking to do more however. If you have a site in mind for a 50% referral earning split, let me know. I have a few in mind, but I'll see what comes to the table.

The same offer goes for you too OmegaCollector, and anyone really. Put out an offer on the table that beats ezeminer's 50% referral earning split, because they are already the high bidder on any site I bring up to them, unless they say no deal. 
So far i have to manually pay on doge so I will continue that. I'll try for daily payouts or every other day to stay up to date.

I'll offer 0.06BTC for buyout, let me know if you want to sell for that much Smiley
I didn't realize most dota items were untradable so I'd go with this guy.

Is this still a good pool ?
It continues to payout.

It has a community that helps develop it.

So in my opinion yes it is a good pool.
1998  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Achilles Labs - by Ancenda Technology in Shenzhen on: March 30, 2015, 10:24:54 PM
I order two miners,I pay in BTC they ask me address and  i give them instructions for sending(because i don't want them to send me with DHL (they even deduct the DHL cost from payment i pay less 2 x 260USD in btc what they say is the DHL cost)),after that they inform me the package is sent out but i never get it ,also not get any tracking number of shipping company !
My cargo Company in China never get the package to
They are Definitely Scam !I send my Chinese friend who leaves in Shenzhen to check them!At address they give is some other company !We try to fund some phone no. of Ancenda Technology nobody answer never!!
Web page not work any more!They not answer on e-mails any more!
They are only one more Cheater Bullshit and i feel like idiot that i not check them little better before i make the payment to them!I see them on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison (i see them no more on the list )and i think if they are on the list than can not be scam!Big Mistake!Regarding the list maker
I really not understand why somebody put them even on list with miners performances  if somebody not check them previously!



Anyone can edit the list. For the last month or two there is a bold header saying:

Be sure to research any of these vendors and machines intensely before spending any money.

i'd bid .02, only interested in dota items.

Do you have a clue how much they're worth just judging by the screenshot? User's inventory is private, so no calculator allows for verification.
Not too much, there is a ton of common/ uncommon items, which add up to a little. I like crafting the treasure things, so cheap items would be nice.
I don't know off the top of my head but I would guess $5-10
