Just be careful not to sync the file a wrong way. LOL

Also, I have read the other day about a guy whose NAS lost a drive out of a RAID5 array and never notified him something was wrong. When the NAS lost another drive, his data was gone. So, you may want to test that your RAID failure notification is in working order.

Maybe an extra copy of the wallet on a CD-R? That reminds me to make a fresh one today.

Notice on the pool site:

16.10.2013
In recent days we experienced some successful thefts of user's funds using compromised email accounts. We strongly encourage all users to change email passwords. There's no reason to think that pool security itself has been compromised.



Weird, how would slush have access to my email password in the first place?

It doesn't say that. It says that people who have passwords that have been compromised from somewhere else who also mine have had their accounts robbed.

I missed the "somewhere else" part.

What /is/ happening in America?

A fairly large botnet is in the process of being shut down, so the fall of hash rate maybe caused by the botnet computers disconnecting.

I see that worker difficulty now adjusts automatically, regardless of the difficulty set through the web interface. Has this been discussed already?

Could somebody direct me to a map/list of physical (not Internet only) stores/cafes/restaurants/businesses that accept Bitcoins in Russia?

The map that I found on Google lists only one place, B&B Hostel in Krasnoyarsk, for the whole country.

The map linked in the first post of this thread does not work.

Thank you.

An hour or two to sync with the network? Really? Is the majority of the blockchain now included with the initial install?

No Student Loan? Compared to the rest of the nation – you are rich.

I would keep the watch until you are ready to start the business. Most new businesses fail, but if you do not – the upside potential is huge.

$20k is too little to start day trading on, as such, if you were to invest it, you would have to go long. And if all your money is tied up in long investments, what are you going to start the business with?

Ask sum gone lower because it was bought with fiat not on order book.


But most importantly, the final phase of big extraction is coming.


This is the whale that killed a few people, isn't it?

Ok, I figured it out. The issue is described here:
http://commonsware.com/blog/2011/08/31/mtp-external-storage.html

The workaround is as follows. Go to Settings – Apps – All, Media Storage, Click on “Clear cache,” then reboot the phone.
After that the bitcoin-wallet-keys backup file will show up in the “[\Internal storage]\Download” folder, via MTP.

34  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Bitcoin Wallet for Android on: July 09, 2013, 10:12:15 PM
The Download directory is there, but it got nothing except a few pdf files I downloaded through Android web browser.

I will try your other suggestion. Thank you.

Edit: Hmmm, I still need access to that folder in case I need to restore the backup, as restore does not seem to support email or Google drive, only internal/external storage.

Hello,

I installed Android wallet by Andreas Schildbach on a phone that does not have an SD card. Can you help me figuring out how to get the keys backup file out of the phone?

The “Export private keys” routine says it saves the backup to “/storage/emulated/0/Download/” location.
However when I browse the phone over MTP, I see no such folder. I do not have “data/data/” ether.

So, how do I get to the backup location?

Android version 4.2.2

Thanks.

Question: Suggested difficulty option box.
What is the point in this box? It optional but then if its optional dose it really matter? I'm running just 4 Block Erupters on Slush's Pool should I change my setting and if so to what?  

 For those with large amount of hash power, setting a higher difficulty will reduce the network bandwidth consumed by submitted shares.  You don't have enough hashpower for it to matter.   I wouldn't worry about it.  

So just curious at what point would you need to set a higher difficulty? How many Mhash/s are we talkin'? I know what the website suggests according to Mhash/s but is this realistic? What have others experienced?

When you set a value there, it tells the servers "Don't send me anything less than this."  The maximum is whatever diff the server decides to send.  For example, one of my miners is set for diff 2 -- most shares I get are between 2-1000, but I often get shares as high as 10M to work.

Not really.
The difficulty value you set in your client tells your client to send only shares of that difficulty (and higher) to the server. And it tells the server that you will be doing so.
The server will than count each your difficulty 2 (or higher) share as two difficulty 1 shares (when you set the difficulty to 2, of course). Your network traffic is then lower, and lower is also your demand on the server capacity.

The server makes no decision about what difficulty it sends you. It in fact can't do anything like that. You don't get shares as high as 10M to work. You don't get any shares to work on from the server.

The server gives you some data to work on, and it's a matter of your fortune to find a share. When your client is set to send shares of diff 1, it sends all shares it finds to the server. To find one such basic share you have to compute 232 hashes at average.

When you set the difficulty to a higher number, only shares of that difficulty (and higher, of course) are sent to the server. This is useful when your share rate would be too (unnecesarily) high with shares of diff 1.

There are about 30 seconds between a miner connects and starts hashing and the suggested difficulty is set. If a share is submitted within these 30 seconds at what difficulty will it be counted: one, suggested difficulty, actual difficulty, something else?

Is this the same problem we are going to have with hardware wallets?

What are the hardware wallets seeded with, a security phrase of some sort? Who creates the security phrase, the manufacturer or the end user?

How do we know these ASICs are for Bitcoin mining and not for Fleshlights, for example?

Staples also sells prepaid credit cards that can be used anywhere. Heaven for embezzlers – order office supplies, and take your wife to a lobster dinner.
