21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.4.4, NEW Nicehash support for Cryptonight on: August 28, 2016, 03:24:20 AM
Proposal for change in output for share submissions.

old format:

[2016-08-27 21:09:13] accepted: 1791/1791 (100%), 11.93 MH, 461.52 kH/s yes!
[2016-08-27 21:09:13] accepted: 1791/1792 (99.9%), 11.93 MH, 461.52 kH/s nooooo

proposed new format:

[2016-08-27 21:09:13] Accepted: 11.93 MH, 461.52 kH/s, 1791/1791 (100%)
[2016-08-27 21:09:13] Rejected:  11.93 MH, 461.52 kH/s, 1791/1792 (99.9%)

Reason for change:

- shorter
- removes ambiguous "accepted" for both accepted and rejected shares
- eliminates unnecessary words "yes!" and "nooooo".

Comments?

I think the current format has become the defacto standard.
Though I am all about being different, I.E. bleeding edge, and I support any change.

My only concern would be that no changes happen with how the API is presents data, which I am pretty sure this will not.

How about increasing the uptick price of nicehashbot in the update? at 0.0001 intervals it can NOT keep up with moving prices.
Also the 0.0001 downtick every 10minutes is just an insulting way to make sure after a price hike people keep paying the inflated prices. This is all fake and screwing tons of renters from nicehash/westhash.

Make all these price ticks (up and down) adjustable by the renter and you will have a MUCH better business..

You can change the way it behaves yourself in visual basic (pretty sure about this).  You dont need coding knowledge, just poke around and change some values here and there Smiley  I think its more fun and you'll get better results than waiting for nicehash to update it...

If I understand what is being talked about, then it cannot be changed in the code.
The amount an existing order can be decreased is a set amount, and time, from NH, you basically have no say in what the amount is. (Kinda like an easy button)
When you increase the price you can go to any amount but when decreasing you must step down one increment at a time.

Quote from NH site here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb6

You can also decrease price of your existing orders. To avoid manipulation, price decrease is only available within predefined price steps, can be applied only each 10 minutes and resets your position to the bottom of sub-list of same-priced orders. The predefined value of price decrease is displayed on Decrease price button. Of course, once you decrease price you can always later increase it without any limitation.

When I first started using NH I really didn't like this either but, now I am use to it. I guess they have wore me down.
Am I a lemming now?  What cliff?
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners on: August 24, 2016, 07:40:26 PM
Agreed.  My thoughts on it are simply this.  If you're going to have a program that is dedicated to mining, then you should have the option to mine anything with whatever is at your disposal.  Asic, GPU, CPU, FPGA, etc...  To see that show up in Awesome Miner would be all the conviction I'd need to make a purchase.  As it is, I'm using Miner Control for CPU / GPU mining and while it does a great job, I'd much rather centralize it all in a single App.  If Awesome Miner does this, then that's the goto app for me.  Smiley
First about your initial question about Zpool. It should work with Awesome Miner. On their web site I can see the following instructions:
stratum+tcp://<algo>.mine.zpool.ca:<PORT> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> [-p <OPTIONS>]

In Awesome Miner this should be added as a Pool with the following settings, where I will use X11 algorithm as an example:
Server URL: stratum+tcp://x11.mine.zpool.ca:3533
Worker name: (your bitcoin wallet address)

Auto profit switching is not supported for Zpool. I couldn't find an API on their web site, which would be required in order for Awesome Miner to support it.

To answer your question about ASIC / GPU and so on. Awesome Miner doesn't care too much about this as long as you use it together with a Cgminer style miner API (or Sgminer, Claymore's Ethereum, ccMiner). You can for sure connect to many different systems and get a good overview of the mining from a single user interface.

Please try the free version of Awesome Miner to see if it works well for the features you are looking for.

You can see the api info here:

http://www.zpool.ca/site/api

And the actual API json is outputted here:

http://www.zpool.ca/api/status

Not sure if the format/content is what's needed but there you have it Smiley

Cheers!

To make it a little more appealing, maybe, zpool uses the standard YiiMP Pool API.
So by doing it once you will gain any pool using the standard YiiMP API.
I am using the same API with multiple pools from a .net app.  Works peachily.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POOL] Mining Pool Hub - Multipool. Multialgo, Auto Exchange to any coin. on: August 17, 2016, 04:26:29 AM
Good Pool!

I use auto exchange, to BTC, and the API.
It would be nice if there was a way to easily get the balance of all coins, potentially also in stated in BTC.

I know I can do it by going to the API for each pool but..
you have the balance page, so maybe it is possible to add BTC, or whatever the user has set as their auto exchange currency, to that page.
And then make that available in an API call?

I am not really complaining here it more that the auto exchange process takes a little while and it would be nice to have some visibility into the time between mining and auto exchanged.

1.8.1 gave @ 10% increase in lbry on a K5000.  Grin

Edit:
And I see now I am sending watts in my stats.
Could it be 32-bit vs. 64-bit?
Or just a hidden gem in the update?

Be cautious, I think that most of these credit card services charge high rates.

Yes I second this, the fees can be high, be very careful.
I usually resort to coinbase linked to a bank account, it takes a few days, but has always been reliable for me.
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: New to bitcoin on: August 07, 2016, 03:43:58 AM
Weclome,
Crypto-Currency, including BTC, is like the wild west these days.
You must do your home work and be prepared to loose whatever you invest.
Even buying BTC and holding in a hardware wallet, which is the safest, is not all that safe in my opinion.

I have tried alot of the different types of "Opportunities" out there and I have made some but I have also lost some.
I have yet to find something you can do to make coin that does not take work, almost everyday.
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.3.9, Optimized Multialgo CPU miner on: August 01, 2016, 08:42:02 PM
Please direct me to somewhere else if this has already been answered.

I have a 32 core machine and I only want to use 16, easy enough -t 16.
But that loads up 1 processor and it runs hot, I would prefer to use half of the cores on each processor, every other would be perfect.

In comes the --cpu-affinity, which I cannot figure out.
I tried:
  --cpu-affinity 2863311530 and it seems to ignore it.
  --cpu-affinity and no -t but it just used all cores.
  --cpu-affinity AAAAAAAA and everything was moved to processor 2 (At least it did something)
 
I am probably just being a stupid human!

Could someone pls explain why there is an "actual rate" when trading ?

eg.   

if i put a sell for say 100000 @  20 sats
sometimes the actual rate of sale might be @ 19 sats 

thats a big difference,  and not what i wanted / agreed to sell for

why does this happen ?

thanks

Maybe you are doing market orders, not limit orders?
Limit orders sell for the price you set.
Market orders sell for the best availiable which can be more or less, usually less, than what you specify.

Not to be a pessimist, more of a realist.

With today's valuation BTC is worth around $10B, that is not alot and is not enough to jump start the consumer economy of Bitcoin.
There needs to be enough value that people and businesses feel it is necessary to use it.
I am sorry to say that $10B is not very much money on the global scale.

This information is a little old but I think it paints the proper picture.
http://money.visualcapitalist.com/all-of-the-worlds-money-and-markets-in-one-visualization/

This is also a little old but, in 2008 (I know, I know), Pakistan's currency was worth $17B which is 0.42% of the world, and that is almost double Bitcoin to day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_(currency)

As of now Bitcoin is a just starting to be taken seriously and needs to be more of the global total, at least more than 1 person could buy outright, to be consumer driven.
I am afraid to say that Bitcoin really is a buy and hold type of thing today, and I really think that is ok.  I like and feed by BTC everyday!!

no one is ever going to listen to the rules about the button, just start power banning them when they mention it and they will go away, if they cannot read they cannot post

In my mind I was against banning people for a while but, I am beginning to agree with the idea.
If someone cannot take the time to read, and be patient, are they really an asset.
With the negative press signature campaigns, especially YoBit, gets maybe some aggressive management is not a bad idea.

you should lower the fee until you get this ironed out. i had intermitent connection for 4 hours last night mining on lyra2v2 mine.zpool.ca. it seems that it was up and down 50/50.

Even with the difficulties I have seen on zpool I am still able to make more profit here than anywhere else.
That along with an operator that is knowledgeable, active and willing to make things better makes me want to stay.

Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin.
No one will offer services for Bitcoin.
Spend Your Bitcoins.

How is it against bitcoin? it adds value.  Worth noting for you by the way Bitcoin is the PROTOCOL and bitcoin is the CURRENCY.


Well maybe I got his point. he is saying that storing is against Bitcoin because it is not helping the adoption of bitcoin in the ecosystem.
So he is saying that we must spend it, so that we are going to help the adoption of bitcoin and help to circulate bitcoin in the market.
But it seems a lot are holding.

Besides a few online places I have not been able to find any retailers that I use on a regular basis the accept BTC.
I would like to spend my coin but I am forced to be a holder, which in hind sight is very good, I have been holding for 2 years, weee me!

i don't know sir i am a bit confused you are a senior member and you are saying like you are at 2010. nowday more than 30% of internet is accepting bitcoin as payment and providing services. you can buy hosting and domains,shop with bitcoin,you can recharge you phone and tv and so on. we are at developing world even i accept bitcoin as a payment

30% of internet is accepting bitcoin as payment??  I don't think so.
Granted you can use Bitcoin to buy things but you need to search for places to use it and some of the largest internet retailers, Amazon for instances, currently do not accept Bitcoin.
Yes, you can buy or trade for a gift card if you want but, how many people do you know that would be willing to do that?  Not I
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Currency Wars: Governments Hoarding BTC on: July 16, 2016, 03:35:20 PM
this sounds more like a conspiracy theory and an scary one for that matter if it ever happens, which i hope not.

also i have to say i doubt if it ever happens because if it happens and it becomes clear that governments are hoarding bitcoin then bitcoin can no longer be decentralized and people will leave to another project. so that would be the death of that country's government.

I am not sure why a single entity hording BTC has to do with the decentralization of bitcoin.
Decentralization refers to who creates and values a currency, which would still be the Bitcoin community as a whole.
That is not to say that someone who owns a great deal of a currency cannot manipulate the market, but that happens with may currencies and commodities already today.

With a current market cap of about $10.5B, I don't think there is enough BTC for hording by govts to be worth while.
To the countries you mention $10.5B is not very much money.

For Comparison, The US currently owes China $1.3T.

Exactly. Unless the entire capitalization of the sphere greatly increases, any one single major government could 'buy out' the Bitcoin market. Hell, a few of the right major companies could do the job. This is one of the reasons why it wouldn't happen, as well as the fact it would be much cheaper and secure for said government to develop their own coin. To hell with all that anonymity and decentralization, from a national security standpoint.

I just don't think the amount of FIAT money we are talking about would be of interest to any entity that has the resources to truly impact the market.
Since BTC is not controlled by a central entity there is not enough predictability to make it more appealing to other options that exist today.
38  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC Mining Bounty on: July 16, 2016, 04:13:02 AM
I'm using version 0.12.1, so should I go ahead and just use the abandontransaction command or wait it out? Will the 0.03 BTC I sent go back to my wallet balance immediately if I use that command?

Sorry for the noob ?s and thanks for all of your responses.

You made me look it up which is good because it may not work they way I thought or on your problem.

This is the standard definition of how it works.
https://chainquery.com/bitcoin-api/abandontransaction

This talks about the transaction may just be automatically cancelled, though I have never seen that happen myself.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/48anyb/zerofee_transaction/

I still say create a betting pool, at least that way you can make enough for the fee you will eventually need to use.

A zero fee, well that is something!

I am pretty sure if the abandontransaction command is not available to you, the only choice you have is to wait.
Maybe you should start a pool and take bets as to when it will be confirmed.

My guess would be eventually but not for sometime.
Since some of the larger miners mine either empty blocks or cherry pick based on fees, you will need to get luck.
