Looks like antpool is the baddy again. I could swear I saw some f2pool on blockchain.info though. |

Heh I see you didn't like to point out the two pools that have the highest average block size  (Edit: there's a reason why many pools mine empty or small blocks and we don't ...) That's orthogonal to my point and to be honest, I'm not sure which that is. I'm assuming you mean your pool, ckpool? If so, good on you. To be honest, I run p2pool (ideological reasons) and my backup is antpool but I may have to throw you guys in as #2. I'd be interested as to why elegius is doing so bad but I hear Luke-jr is no longer affiliated (?) |

Could the dump have anything to do with Bitstamp and Btc-e getting blocked by Russian ISPs? It's unsettling when a country starts clamping down on It's the full-blockalypse (did I get it right this time?). We hit full blocks and all those in control could do was to toe the ground a little and promise us a partial solution in 2017. The shitstorm that will be the halving without more block capacity is starting to be priced in. More to come. Expect down until a solution is enacted. The recent rise was part of a pump & dump. They knew what they were doing. Full disclosure: Today was my last day at my previous place and I am well on my way to merrydom. |

Is it even worth keeping coinbase on there? |
|
|
|
does that 50 per cent thing means that the block size issue was solved as its not filled?
Not really. But there were a lot of blocks in that period so *shrug*. We are operating in full-block territory by my measure but we are likely to bounce off the limit a couple of times. |

Block pruning is currently incompatible with running a wallet due to the fact that block data is used for rescanning the wallet and importing keys or addresses (which require a rescan.) However, running the wallet with block pruning will be supported in the near future, subject to those limitations.
Yeah, that's running a wallet though. Which is different. I can see where it might make it difficult to validate transactions. But a pruned node still keeps track of UTXOs so *shrug* Pool software that doesn't need a wallet will work with it. My comment was offtopic so I deleted it. Nonetheless, p2pool needs the wallet working.
Oh OK. I'll take your word for it but I'm curious as to why. |

Where did -ck's post go? I also wonder why - so I'm gonna try it......  Unfortunately, I don't really have a good second system to run another node on currently. So spending some money is likely in order. My daughter wants an upgrade so I'll probably just re-purpose hers. Though maybe it's time to try the Raspberry Pi again. It just couldn't cope as a full node but a pruned node might be worth a go. I doubt that would make a good subject for p2pool though :/ |

Anyone here tried to hook up two of the stock S5 fans in series so they run at 6V instead of 12V to reduce noise?
Just wondering if it will start at 6V or do I need to wire a potentoresistor.
take a old 120mm x 38mm fan "thickness" rip it out without breaking the frame and mount it between the S5 intake fan and the antminer drops the noise 12db and the fan can be run at Full RPM if you like. you can do the same thing to the exhaust fan as well that's what I did. here is a pic its an old one Before I Bought my S7. look at the lower one on the left.  Interesting. Looks like a candidate for 3d printing. Anyone know if there's an STL out there already? |

The thing that should worry you all is that the Classic team is not much better qualified, although it seems to have better goals (like BitcoinXT had). fat is, control over the future evolution of your precious coin is being disputed by two bands of amateur hackers. ...
There are times when a talented amateur...  jk, they're pretty much forked. But this pic rocks (?? middle panel, "Also, everything is totally real." ), and not shitty faux-naif but really some kid learning to draw. I don't play it but apparently some reference to metal gear solid.  |

Smallblockers don't seem to get it. The only way you can prove me wrong about Bitcoin is by making me rich. If the market goes down, it's because it rejects the smallblocker vision. Miners are more likely to take the big block fork. If it goes up, I can sell my coins at a nice profit so I can re-invest in a coin more true to what I believe Bitcoin is supposed to be.
so what's it going to be? Checkmate.
 Who's with me? I'll take three. Ooh. I'm in luck. The currency converter says that should cost me $0.00 |

The more important Bitcoins becomes, the more likely a congestion failure will be absent a scaling solution. Let's assume half the transactions are either not important or urgent.
Anyone feel like updating this one for Bitcoin them emailing it to core? http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt |

*Which isn't to say "anarchy" is a useless word. It's useful in its colloquial, everyday sense:
an·ar·chy
ˈanərkē/
noun
noun: anarchy
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.
"he must ensure public order in a country threatened with anarchy"
The big problem with anarchy is that many of its types are inconsistent and amount to "I should be free to tell others what to do". As such, you are correct that it is mainly of use only colloquially. |

You either manage that in a somewhat predictable way which ends up still being subject to being dominated by specialized hardware or you do it in a completely freeform way which is a lot of work and is a huge security risk if you make a mistake.
One does not need to switch to completely different algos with different risks to make something ASIC proof. Small changes to a variant of ASIC resistant SHA3 without compromising or changing the fundamentals of security could be implemented in a random matter. You understand that all ASIC's would be worthless if we switched to 3 rounds of SHA256(1 example of many) but a gpu would merely need to upgrade its software, right? More details -- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=359323.0Good reading... This guy's not bad when operating within his domain. [...] No finite collection of fixed algorithms (Even a large set) can be ASIC proof (in fact, large sets probably just lead to ASIC monopolies due to higher NRE). But if you change the POW periodically in ways which aren't predicable months in advance, and in ways that can't just be generalized with anything more specialized than general purpose consumer hardware... then I do think you would actually have achieved a fairly high degree of asic-proof-ness. There is just the question of the costs of periodic changes being worth the benefits, and what cadence is required to make investment unwise.

Its actually not hard to accomplish if you either perform a hardfork to a slightly different algo in a random way every year and use asic resistant algos. This can even be done in a automated way where there only needs to be one hardfork. There is a tremendous amount of investment and lead up time to creating ASICs where you only need to stay ahead to make their implementation impractical.

Your game theory strategy only takes into consideration the maximization of profit in the short term. There are many libertarians and crypto-anarchists who value other goals slightly more than simply using Bitcoin as a highly volatile speculative asset. we also really don't like a path forward where a democratic majority votes upon each feature as that is a sharp change in bitcoins traditional governance model of anarchistic consensus building based upon evidence and meritocracy.
You cannot be anarchistic when you have an arch in the form of core. |

with an ASICproof algo behind the coin.
Good luck with that. |

Richy - My PC froze with Core open a few weeks ago, I had to reindex the entire blockchain too.
Fucking nightmare.
Yeah, mine was all up-to-date and sparkly but apparently if you want to turn txindexing on, you throw away all the work bitcoind has done previously and start from scratch. Currently around block 356268. It would be nice if it just did it all in the background but I guess it's not like it's something people will do that often. If I'd have known, I'd have had another node running to keep things going but it's too late now... I'd see if I could hook into bitcoin-qt on my Windows box but apparently that has been "Loading block index" for the last 30 minutes so I guess I'll just wait. Unless anyone knows of a bitcoind out there with a public RPC interface? |
