I think its very relevant to bitcoin - an internet currency - when a project that can provide wireless to nearly anywhere on the globe is being developed. You realize these things ride on air currents? And they're working on how to steer using the opposing jets at different altitudes?

Even if it doesn't have bitcoin in the text, it still is interesting to me - thanks for posting it.

Thanks, finally, someone who can see!
So if it's related to internet deployment, it's related to bitcoin? Next time google fiber deploys to a new city, I'll be sure to post in the press section.

Is there a way to recover the second password in Blockchain?
No, they are encrypted client-side. That means blockchain does not know your password, they only hold your encrypted wallet.

  Yesterday I did a big dummy.

  My PC has windows 8 and I've been having trouble with it so I decided to re-install it. I didn't think about my wallet which was a new wallet, but the day before I

transferred my almost 10 bitcoins from another PC to this wallet. It had never been backed up.

  I have been reading and went to windows.old, found bitcoin QT and started it. when it finished loading all I got was an empty wallet. I've tried to load wallet.dat

and still get a new,empty bitcoin wallet.
No, you don't start bitcoin from windows.old. The install location is not where the wallet is stored. You have to go to "X:\windows.old\Users\your user name\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin", and find the "wallet.dat". Then you copy it to "%appdata%\bitcoin\" and open bitcoin-qt.

The maximum WU is just theoretical, means that you have necessarily less than this. So you can make it better.
no, you can't. you start out with theoretical WU, it decreases for number of stales/hw errors you have.
2065  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Work Utility / Hash Rate / Reject Ratio on: June 17, 2013, 02:51:05 PM
Hi, I didn't find any good explanation on Work Utility.

ckolivas said :
Work utility is the product of hashrate * luck and only stabilises over a
very long period of time. Assuming all your work is valid work, bitcoin mining
should produce a work utility of approximately 1 per 71.6MH. This means at
5GH you should have a WU of 5000 / 71.6 or ~ 69. You cannot make your machine
do "better WU" than this - it is luck related. However you can make it much
worse if your machine produces a lot of hardware errors producing invalid work.


Then what ? I can see difference of WU depending on Intensity setting, which also change the average Hash Rate and the Reject Ratio.

- Does Average Hash Rate take count of Reject Ratio ? Should I calculate my Real Average Hash Rate by taking count of the Reject Ratio ?

- Does Work Utility take count of Reject Ratio ? Should I calculate my Real Work Utility by taking count of the Reject Ratio ?

- Which is better for stratum pool mining ? High Hash Rate or High WU ?

- How to improve the WU ?

  • of course it doesn't
  • did you even read? it says "Assuming all your work is valid work" which implies it's affected by accepts/rejects/hw error
  • what's better for mining, pink elephants or green dogs?
  • learn to fucking read. "You cannot make your machine
    do "better WU" than this - it is luck related. However you can make it much
    worse if your machine produces a lot of hardware errors producing invalid work."

So, you're saying it's intentionally broken because some users might get warnings?
It's not "some" users, it's most browsers. And it's not "intentionally broken", it's a feature to prevent warnings and preserve https integrity.

If there is insecure content on a page...
on chromium based browsers, the lock symbol in the address bar will have a red strikeout
on firefox, there won't be a lock symbol
on internet explorer, the user will be asked whether to load the insecure content
safari, opera probably has similar warnings
2069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Warning: Please check that the computer's date and time... 0.8.2 Client on: June 17, 2013, 01:51:42 PM
I currently have 20 connections. I did the -debug=1 switch and looked in the logs and though I didn't understand everything in them, I did not see anything that would indicated a different time than local.  Your thoughts about a router or server up line from my computer having a wrong time is plausible if this problem occurred on other computer within my LAN or within the VMs on the same computer.  My Litecoin wallet on the same computer doesn't have a problem with the time, and from what I know, the two wallets have almost identical code. 

here's what you should be looking for:

Code:
        if (fDebug) {
            BOOST_FOREACH(int64 n, vSorted)
                printf("%+"PRI64d" ", n);
            printf("| ");
        }
        printf("nTimeOffset = %+"PRI64d" (%+"PRI64d" minutes)\n", nTimeOffset, nTimeOffset/60);

I have a node running on a VPS that you can add a connection to 198.74.53.233 (there's no wallet on it)
keep in mind you have to use "connect=198.74.53.233" so your client only connects to that node. Otherwise your client will connect to other nodes, and possibly download blocks from a slower node.

Even if they make a $9.95 purchase, you still earn $140/sale.
If this is true, how about you give me 1 BTC to make a purchase there? You instantly make $40 profit.


You are an idiot for talking for no reason. That can be changed anytime.

I understand that, but would like to have various explanations to a topic because everyone thinks differently. I just don't know how you can verify that the third-party actually had real Bitcoins submitted to it. Why not just invent some Bitcoins and then send them on the chain?
It's bitcoin protocol. There's no opinions or "various explanations" on it. Also, if you attempt a double spend, all nodes will reject it. If you did some fucking research, you would know that.

It's wrong to call yourself "official", even though you have no endorsement. Plus you're making profit off of it, which makes it even worse.

WHO CARES IF IT'S NOT SSL? As a matter of fact, you CAN'T use https links in there, IIRC.
non https links =/= non https images. Images are loaded by default by browsers. If all the page's content is not loaded via https, it is possible for an attacker to eavesdrop or modify the page.

no a 7950 is just 200 watt per hour
watt = power. There's no such thing as "watt per hour". There's only (kilo)watt hour, which measures energy.
2078  Other / Meta / Re: Forum avatar is BROKEN on: June 16, 2013, 07:53:07 PM
dynamic or offsite avatars are not allowed because they are not guaranteed to be SSL.

So?
SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY YOU CAN'T USE IT.

i dont know i watched the video  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW1hFQndX2I
that's retarded. PCI-e x1 =/= RAID. In the video, the PCI-e is used to interface the FPGA with the computer. The resemblance to a PCI-e RAID controller is purely cosmetic.

There used to be a vulnerability that allowed disclosure of a peer's wallet address. Needless to say, it was quickly patched. The best you can do is blockchain.info's "relayed by", but that's terribly unreliable even if I broadcast the transaction directly from my PC.
