Hi Akka,
Thanks for your help!
I'm using v0.7.2-beta... when did v0.8 come out?

Can I still transpant the files over to 0.8?

Kind Regards.

i have a 7z of 0.8 reorganization @ http://www.nogleg.com/archive/v0.8.0-Feb-11th/v0.8.0-Feb-11th.7z   goes up to block 220800 or so..  it isn't "pruned", so it's just as big as before, but in a diff format

and then you'd delete everything but bitcoin.conf & wallet.dat, then use that for 0.8 rc

aha

The reason you can buy material goods with something as immaterial as bitcoin?
Creating bitcoins - rewarding miners - doesn't make the world richer in the sense of, with it, getting to have more material goods.
Money is just a medium of exchange.
Imagine it was God that told how much money each had.
Now imagine God would only make you have money if you helped maintain bitcoin, verifying transactions with your computer and the internet.
The world could be exactly the same, but now, just because God said, people that had computers and internet and were helping maintain bitcoin, would own more.
The world woudn't be richer or poorer. It would just have a different rule that was making owning different.

I once had a Cloak of Flames in Everquest. 

I exchanged it for $1075.

That's a lot of apples!

first try, got an error.  deleted database directory and it finished resyncing in about 5 minutes..  starting from 220807

i was going to edit the file to remove that log.00000002 , but it looked like it was gonna take about 30m.. so..

bah.  i'll remove it

well, you could try getting

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.8.0/test/

that

and then

www.nogleg.com/archive/v0.8.0-Feb-11th/v0.8.0-Feb-11th.7z

i havent tested it yet on my windows machine (it's slow to DL 4 gigs)

i assume it would work, and be missing a couple hundred blocks maybe?

it looks like you'd have to reDL whole blockchain regardless

maybe it would need txindex?  i duno, i dont keep wallets with transactions on either
2006  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 release candidate 1 on: February 12, 2013, 06:24:16 PM
I went ahead and upgraded my public node to the .8 RC and in the past 36 hours, I have noticed that I have had an increase of almost 3x in the amount of bandwidth being used. it went from 2-3 GB outgoing per day to almost 10 GB outgoing per day. Is that because of the bloom filtering? Or just more people upgrading and testing out the RC?

it seems to send blocks out to more people.  

when i look at my logs, i receive the same block a half dozen times usually.

using dstat, it will burst up to 100MB upstream sometimes, i guess from myself sending blocks to someone that has already received

2007  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: CPU mining on: February 12, 2013, 02:18:50 PM
it doesn't have anything to do with what I want to do, it has to do with how often failure of RAM causes data loss.  i have not had it happen once, since my first PC/XT in '87
Not that you know of. There could be a couple of bits wrong that you've never noticed.
yeah, and I'm also not storing vital scientific research or CIA records on my computer, either

like i said earlier, the vast majority of the ppl that request ECC ram, are wasting their money

though actually, back in the day,  nearly all RAM was ECC, wasn't it?  i think they removed it for performance gains
2008  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: un -f- confirmed on: February 11, 2013, 03:12:28 PM
as i recall, the relay fee is 0.001 vs the creation fee of 0.005.  so it seems like your transaction would be relayed at least (if your node broadcasts it, some others should relay it).  it would be pushed down to the bottom of the list as more transactions are added

2012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Limiting upload bandwidth in Satoshi bitcoin client on: February 11, 2013, 06:24:06 AM
I'd like to ask if there is any way to configure the standard Satoshi bitcoin blient (current running v0.7.x) to limit its upload bandwidth. If not, are there any plans to introduce it in a future release such as v0.8? Do any of the other clients offer bandwidth limiting?

My service is 10mbit/s download and 0.5mbit/s upload. There are occasions when external nodes connect to my client and start to download the blockchain. This saturates my upload bandwidth (about 50kbytes/s) and my internet latency skyrockets (ping times in the 2000-3000ms range consistently, when normally they would be 20-30ms). During these times, internet browsing and other internet activity becomes virtually unusable.

If I notice this happening, I exit the client and my internet latency returns to normal. If there was a way to limit the bitcoin client's upload bandwidth, this problem should be mitigated.



the only way to deal with this right now is to set QoS... i think windows has some built-in QoS, also some (most?) routers

i used to use netlimiter (for windows)

2013  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: my btc blockchain stucks at "~25117 blocks remaining" on: February 11, 2013, 06:21:39 AM
I'm about ready to give up on bitcoin-qt. In the past few days I've tried everything from deleting peers, deleting the blockchain files, completely uninstalling and reinstalling, and connecting only to one "super node" in order to download faster and hopefully get non-corrupted data. Yet I've had it get stuck at certain blocks, freeze 12.04 Ubuntu to the point it forced a hard restart, corrupted block index file, and even a corrupted wallet file (Glad I kept backups from several months prior). I don't know why the big problem now, I'd been running the bitcoin-qt client for almost a year now with no issues. I would like to run a node for the greater good of the network, and I've got the bandwidth to do it, but this is ridiculous. Time to switch to blockchain.info wallet or Electrum.

i always DL from the same node.. but on this node I have the buffers set so high that it also tends to flood people off.  i'm not sure if that's considered misbehavior or not, but it may ban the node.  it gets the socket receive flood detected message

It looks like something is wrong with whatever mechanism is calculating the 'owed' amt,

http://hhtt.1209k.com/

as an example, it says it owes the 3rd user 3 BTC, from 10 hrs of ~3.5ghash

possibly giving too much for lower difficulty blocks.  My amt seems accurate

also

Recovery from dumps is so fast that there's no time to take at least minimal profit.
Then you just watch price go up and cry, with hope for some dump, to take 0% profit.

Please, take profits. I dare you.
when i saw that huge wall at $21 or whatever it was, I spent all my available money in mtgox (a whole $200 or so) and bought at $20.20

i sold at $23

I'm keeping mine for vanity address mining.  They've already paid for themselves, and I have good electrical rates.  I don't see much point selling them into the glut that will be coming to ebay soon.

yeah, I will be holding mine (even if they're just gathering dust) for a month or two most likely.

2020  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: CPU mining on: February 07, 2013, 10:44:30 AM
I know this is way off topic - but there is a good reason most servers use Xeon's and ECC ram... it's called reliability.

Sure, I understand that perhaps for what you want to do, that combination doesn't work very well, but don't diss hosting companies for using something reliable for services that need to be... well... reliable Smiley

i can understand enterprise grade HDD's and such for regular business use

not ECC RAM

it doesn't have anything to do with what I want to do, it has to do with how often failure of RAM causes data loss.  i have not had it happen once, since my first PC/XT in '87
