201  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Somebody is trying to steal batch 1 Avalon shippments from DHL! on: April 01, 2013, 09:34:28 PM

I fail to see how this is my problem. this has everything to do with DHL. Also there are people on this forum who have yet to receive their units, this is correct. I am not blind, but there isn't anything I can do because I have not gotten a response back for these packages, I can only assume they are on the way. however instead of waiting it out like I suggested in newsletters because units have been shipped, aside from those with problem addresses, which once returned to us, will be corrected and sent out again ( you'll get a email for this, as many others have. )

few people however, like OP can not wait and are impatient, then something like this happens.

Of course if you gave out the tracking info LIKE YOU PROMISED people wouldn't be jumping all over demanding it and things like this wouldn't happen either.

DHL should have a policy like with UPS or Fedex.  They won't redirect or change address until the first attempt is made.

which makes it even more interesting how the redirect was done.

Sam you should contact your state attorney general, that may get more things done for you than a police report.

/ wasn't ThiagoCMC drama with rudrigorc2 one of the addresses in missouri?

204  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [400GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: April 01, 2013, 09:12:12 PM
...
The highest p2pool would let me go is 6535. Any higher number just comes back as 6535.
...
Better get that fixed fast ...
I think it is in getwork.py:
Code:
'target': pack.IntType(256).pack(self.share_target).encode('hex'),


Regarding minimum difficulty:
rav3n_pl has helped point me to what's going on in worker.py
Code:
        if desired_pseudoshare_target is None:
            target = 2**256-1
            if len(self.recent_shares_ts_work) == 50:
                hash_rate = sum(work for ts, work in self.recent_shares_ts_work[1:])//(self.recent_shares_ts_work[-1][0] - self.recent_shares_ts_work[0][0])
                if hash_rate:
                    target = min(target, int(2**256/hash_rate))
        else:
            target = desired_pseudoshare_target
        target = max(target, share_info['bits'].target)

The last line shows that if the desired_pseudoshare_target (that is the diff that is served to your miner and it is taken from the username+desired_pseudoshare_target log in to the server) is harder (higher difficulty or lower target) than the current p2pool network difficulty (share_info['bits'].target), the target served as work to your miner will be the current p2pool network difficulty.

rav3n_pl had the point that unless you plug something into the p2pool network that hashes at > 1000% of the current network hashrate, you will submit shares to your local p2pool instance at a rate of < 1 share per second. Most servers should be able to handle that somewhat easily.

So the difficulty "bug" does not appear to be one, unless someone else has something to add.

And thank you @Aseras for donating you machine to help get avalon working on p2pool.


EDIT: I realize that Aseras may also have been talking about the maximum difficulty returned to the p2pool network (which should have no connection to server load).
From data.py, get_transaction:
Code:
bits = bitcoin_data.FloatingInteger.from_target_upper_bound(math.clip(desired_target, (pre_target3//10, pre_target3)))
So you will return to the network the easier (lower difficulty) of the desired target from "username/desired_target" or 10 times the current p2pool network difficulty.

That's why you were getting 6535: the network difficulty was 653.5 and it wouldn't let you set a target greater than 10x harder.

Yes I think you've found the "problem" The issue is, the asics NEED a higher difficulty, or they are going to kill the smaller miners in p2pool.

I also think as difficulty greatly increases, we are going to need a longer long-poll time as well. maybe 20 or 30 seconds.

I work for a research institution of a large university. There are several "supercomputer" clusters you can "rent" time on. None of them are fast for this kind of work. The best may be a large Tesla cluster and even 1 avalon is much faster than it is.

they may work better for litecoin though.

Sorry, I'm quite serious that I do not wish to be involved in any way with GitSyncom or the companies he is a lowly employee of.
If I had an Avalon I would be supporting them and I will not do that.

They ignored the GPL license for cgminer for a long time until they released the source and made up excuses that were unrelated to cgminer as to why they didn't release the code at first.
GitSyncom also directly stated that he thought my suggestions that hardware was required by me to properly support it was just an excuse to get "free hardware" and also that when I pointed this out to him last year his thoughts on that were:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=142083.msg1513358#msg1513358
"I'll reject you on sheer principle fucking level."

I don't mind helping Xiangfu or CKolivas with the implementation, but I will be leaving any non USB specific code directly up to them (as they of course are well able to deal with it)

I'm not motivated by money above my own conscience and since I cannot with a good conscience accept an Avalon, the monetary gain is irrelevant.
I have been offered 2 already and turned them both down. One you will see in one of the Avalon threads and the other in PM.

I'm not sure if you consider this to be yet another offer - but either way - I'm not interested in it.

I totally understand I watched the whole thing develop. bitsyncom was a total dick about it all. xiangfu is ok, but hes very quiet and doesn't talk much, and what he does say is quite hard to follow sometimes.

that said, i do wish you might reconsider and help US out.

ckolivas has been working all day on my units. he had a crash course in l2tp under ubuntu last night Cheesy Anyways, hes in now, and mining away while he tries out new things. they are making ~9BTC per day, so by the end of the week @ > $100/BTC he should make out, and hopefully we'll have a much better improved cgminer on avalon for it soon.

lol! $104.50....

Wall pics? How high until significant resistance?

$110, but if you had a few million you could take it to $1000

209  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Somebody is trying to steal batch 1 Avalon shippments from DHL! on: April 01, 2013, 03:00:51 PM
You should call your local police and the FBI. This is federal felony, across state lines mail fraud. DHL can see who changed the address. they keep records.

If the small wall at 100 falls there is no upper limit in sight...

not anymore, all the walls are moving on up.

217  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration on: April 01, 2013, 01:01:46 AM

Ckolivas is going to develop remotely on my units next week. Hopefully the issue is close to being fixed.

now that is good news.

will he be working on solo mining or just fixing the restarts?

We'll take whatever we can get.
218  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon users: bitcoind + eloipool configuration on: March 31, 2013, 09:51:16 PM

If you want to operate a public pool and do not know linux... then my arguments, well... just please don't.

i can understand your frustration with those of us who don't have the experience with linux that you do.

but my feeling is that you should be encouraging and helping those of us who are willing to mine solo and don't mind the variance.  IMO, mining is becoming too centralized at pools and anyone who can distribute that power away from the pools helps the community at large.  

my personal goal is to always be able to be a full node and mine solo if possible as i think it's more healthy for the network long term.  if it turns out i can't do this b/c i can't get sufficient help then so be it.
Well, the real reason you can't solo mine is because you're using a fork of cgminer on Avalon.
Encourage the Avalon team to switch to BFGMiner so you can get GBT support that both works and supports solo mining Smiley
Then you won't need to setup a pool at all.

Have a new build of BFGminer to test?

Ckolivas is going to develop remotely on my units next week. Hopefully the issue is close to being fixed.

With an adaptor any 16x card will work in a 1x slot. The only catch is some motherboards need to have a pin shorted to accept it.

The bandwidth isn't needed. 1x is just as fast for hashing.

220  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: How long to create a bitcoin and for how long ? on: March 31, 2013, 04:03:12 PM
You need about 10,000 mhash to make 1 btc per day.

The rate is exponential, in a few months, with ASIC, that 10,000 mhash will not make .1 btc per day.

It's not worth getting into btc mining with gpu now.
