I have been using this for a few weeks and I have noticed something odd but I don't know if it is just me. It seems like the longer I leave it open less shares get submitted back to my pool. The hash rate that the pools report based on returned work has generally been pretty accurate over time . However the longer I leave phoenix 2.0 open the lower it goes until I close and restart it. The lowest I have let it go was around 30% off the expected. As soon as I restart it immediately goes up to where I would expect it (and correlating share of block). The miner always reports the expected full speed hash speed.
This is not a big deal as long as I remember to restart it every few days but thought I would mention it so people could tell me I was crazy.

This is the only AR-15 part that would legally require a background check in USA. If someone has a 3D printer they could print one, though I don't know how well it would work: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11770This^ .. there should be an open project to reproduce every part. Was thinking something like a glock would be easier to start with though. |

Asus Vento case here. Older (2006/7 I think) I got it because I could not find an Ailienware case like I wanted and this one was pretty cool. I have since switched to an awesome desk that has a 10U rack built in so I no longer use this case. It has a few scratches on it (shown in the picture with the side vent) and the drive bay lid latch was designed pretty poorly so I took it off and then lost it along with the cable management thing that went in the back that was always in the way. Whenever I went to a lan party it was always a topic of conversation not that it was the reason I bought it. Would prefer to hand off but I would ship it with the buyer paying shipping (US only). I had setup a search on eBay to try to find my missing parts but they are coming up very rarely now. Was thinking 50USD +shiping in BTC Or local chicagoland exchange if possible. Oh, it is black. Will post pics after I setup my phone.     http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Asus-Vento-3600/http://www.pcplanetsystems.com/abc/product_details.php?category_id=73&item_id=235http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811173003 |

I would be using anything other than Dropbox. the only reason I don't is because I have 6.2GB on my DB for free and that's all I need right now.
Problem is I can only get 2GB for free at Wuala, Ubuntu One etc..
umm.. do a google search for free waula promo codes.. I bumped mine by like 10-20gig for free (don't remember). I also support them by being a paying user though. Thier client needs some work but this is the kind of company that I would reward. |

This thread is a fail and should be renamed "[OP Variance Bitching] P2POOL vs. Pooled Mining - something stinks here" and never posted in again.

I use a batch file to launch phoenix.exe so I can set the affinity to 1 core or else it will peg all 4 cores on my cpu. My question is can I also set what cfg file to use? I sync a btc working folder with wuala accross my mining machines and I would like to have cfg files for the diffrent machines and configs for like high speed and chill for desktop use through diffrent batch files.
Btw my dead shares in P2Pool has dropped to zero in the last 24hours after moving from 1.75 to 2.0

How much does it weight? I'm very interested but I'm in Europe.
55+ pounds, I really don't want to ship it. |

This is a great server for general use. I have one and it's quick and has pretty much done everything I've thrown at it gracefully. It currently pulls duty as my Mythtv backend, Teamspeak 3 server, Minecraft server, and samba server. The one thing that it doesn't have is virtualization technology. Not really a big deal if you're only running an OS natively. If you decide to use Xenserver you won't be able to run Windows based VMs, but you shouldn't have any problems with ESXi. The remote server management is pretty cool as well, letting you monitor almost everything on the machine. Reboot, shutdown, edit your raid array remotely and all independently of the OS. Anyways, this is nothing new for anyone who knows these rack servers, but I thought I'd expand on it for the people who are considering picking one up!
It will run up to ESXi 3.5 the newer versions (4/5) need CPUs with the newer virtualization features. Even at 3.5 the free ESXi is awsome, I just never used it because it was so loud and it was more practical to use my workstation. If you have a basement to put it in it would be golden .. otherwise it sounds like a jet engine. There were some guides out there on quieting them down but I just did not take it that far. |

Switched over last night. I had been waiting for pheonix to suport it since I put so much time into tweaking on that miner. The instructions were a little hazzy and the version numbering in hex seems confusing. But So far so good. I occasionaly get communication errors between the P2Pool and bitcoind (on the same machine) but I am going to research it more.

I have had this for the last few years but only used it as an ESXi server for a few weeks and never did anythign else with it. Would prefer just to get rid of it locally to somebody who can use it for a fair price otherwise I will just part it out (mainly for the drives).
2 X 3.2ghz Xeon
12GB Ram (6 X 2G Dimms)
4 X 146GB 10kRpm SCSI 320
PERC3 Raid controller.
Redundant 500w power supplies
Rackmount (No rails)
I was thinking 200$ in BTC if anyone is intrested

"Given the currency's instability, that led to rapid inflation and the currency value peaked at nearly $28 on June 9."  "On June 19, Mt. Gox, the most popular bitcoin exchange, saw the value of the currency drop from $17 to nearly zero in just a few minutes after hackers gained access to an account with a large number of bitcoins, and sold them all off. The site suspended trading for six days, as it upgraded security and "rolled back" exchange prices to the pre-hack level. The hack and others like it underscore the problem with the unregulated nature of bitcoins."It would be nice if they compared it to the flash crash in the highly regulated stock markets a few years back.."The FDIC doesn't guarantee virtual currencies. " HAHA

WHERE IS YOUR MATH SIR?
I asked you a simple question.
Sorry about that. $100 <-- USD in existence -$110 <-- USD owed to treasury ------ ($10) <-- Debt that cannot be paid off. I was thinking about this the other day.. Money is also created when banks lend(create) money. When people borrow money it gets put into the economy.. if later that debt is forgiven in bankruptcy or death or whatever that money is still in the system. As to the taxes it is pointless to argue because ... some people just will never get it and life is to short. |

Maybe if Warren Buffet paid a little bit more than just 17.7 percent we wouldn't be in this revenue problem that we're in. Rich people honestly need to start paying their fair share. They are paying the lowest tax rates, of any industrialized country in the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5B-2LoC4s&feature=player_embeddedI don't know what country you are from, but America isn't going anywhere... This entire concept that America is somehow the next Greece is absolute horse crap. America has only dropped about 4% of its world reserve status in the last 4 years, hardly a cause for this extreme panic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency#United_States_dollar We just went through one of worst recessions since the great depression, and our world reserve status only dropped from 65.9% in 04 to 61.5% in the final quarter of '10. Obviously the decline is alarming, but we are nowhere near the bottom, and still control over 60% of the worlds reserve currencies. The problem? When Clinton left office in '00 we were 70.5% of the world’s reserve currency, and after 8 years of Bush destruction we were down to 62.1%. How did we get there? How about a Medicare prescription drug program that wasn't paid for, 2 completely unfunded and unnecessary wars, and on top of that unfunded tax cuts for the nation’s top 2 percent. It is no mystery how we got here, whats beyond me is that people can still sit there behind the sea of lies, and somehow demand that America go bankrupt when we are far, far from that. Like the President said in this video, "Contrary to what some people may say, we are not Greece" http://news.yahoo.com/video/politics-15749652/obama-s-armageddon-25952084.htmlWhile times are tough, and Republicans are blocking any reasonable legislation on the hill, things will eventually get better. And it will be the people who were willing to persevere through the hard times that will be on top during good ones. Really? The tax burdens are at their lowest point since 1958, yet you have the nerve to suggest that somehow this is an opportunity for the "big bad" government to come in and raise taxes to unheard of levels? Take a look at this graph, it's going to be a real eye opener for you, and if you can follow me now you will see that this is basic high school math.  Tax burdens on the rich decline to record lows...  Debt increases on EVERYONE to record highs... I want everyone in this thread to look at these two posts. This is one of the actual problems with this country, not the US dollar being in decline vs. other currencies. Vegetta, I usually think you come up with some dumb/hateful posts, but this cited, factual correctness from you is shockingly refreshing in contrast with people who just post random claims or make spiteful responses, like shackleford or Atlas Random claims? Please elaborate.... I was going to post the definition of the word fair as fundamental as it seems that is the the problem. I guess if I had a graph on what "fair" is then I could be considered correct. I thought I was being nice.. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fairWhat about asking the rich to pay more in taxes isn't fair? The rich need and utilize resources like roads for transportation, unemployment/welfare for support of their economically disadvantaged, and police departments to protect their property (which, due to the larger size/amount of their property, requires more police resources to protect). The benefit more from these resources than other taxpayers (e.g., middle class taxpayer who pays low amount of taxes gets access to smooth roads for travel, rich person who pays taxes gets access to smooth roads for travel PLUS the added advantage of having smooth roads for his employees to drive on, making them more productive). Yes, every year, the rich push for lower and lower taxes, making false claims that everyone derives the same benefit from infrastructure, and thus should pay nearer to the same amount for them. Asking the rich to pay more is fair, because when they derive the most benefit from social services yet ask that those who have less money and derive less benefit from them pay more of the portion, we must borrow to fill in the 'gaps' How does Warren Buffet fit into your view on why people should pay unequal percentages. Since he was your example of a rich person that is not paying his fair share. He lives in a normal house and has a regular car ect ect ... your example of why makes no sense. If I had 1000 cars I could not drive them all at the same time...how would I be using the infrastructure more than anyone else. Also I would still have to pay taxes on every car and title so on.. Your argument about being responsible for the roads of employees is stretching it and if anything it should be considered on corporate tax (your mixing the two). If you make people responsible for everyone else there is no limit to what you can say they owe. Perhaps employee's should be issued vehicles to get to work .. A nice alarm clock and a top of the line mattress to be sure they are well rested... |

"Maybe if Warren Buffet paid a little bit more than just 17.7 percent we wouldn't be in this revenue problem that we're in. Rich people honestly need to start paying their fair share. They are paying the lowest tax rates, of any industrialized country in the world."
Seriously?... your going try to make Buffet look like a bad guy? You think he has 50 billion sitting in a bank account? His net worth is based on stock in the company he has built most of his life. Even though he has this enormous wealth from his company stock he probably lives below the means of your neighbors.
Buffet has pledged to give away 99% of his wealth upon his death. Not doing the standard big inheritance is something I totally agree with as long as it is by his own decision and not a forced government theft.. Still not enough for lefties... you think he needs to sell the ownership of his company to fund the entitlement state right this second.
This prevailing attitude in America makes me want to vomit. I don't care what anyone says.. a flat tax is the only "fair" tax rate if you understand how percentages work.. and most liberals don't or don't care.
Buffet: "I don't have a problem with guilt about money. The way I see it is that my money represents an enormous number of claim checks on society. It's like I have these little pieces of paper that I can turn into consumption. If I wanted to, I could hire 10,000 people to do nothing but paint my picture every day for the rest of my life. And the GDP would go up. But the utility of the product would be zilch, and I would be keeping those 10,000 people from doing AIDS research, or teaching, or nursing. I don't do that though. I don't use very many of those claim checks. There's nothing material I want very much. And I'm going to give virtually all of those claim checks to charity when my wife and I die"
Buffet... of all the people to point the a finger at. (shaking head)
post #14, meet post #15. nobody's trying to make buffet look like a bad guy. and he isn't. that's why he understands that he should be paying mucho mas in taxes. what was the top tax rate, when this country was at its best across the board? when was that? do you even know? Sounds like material straight from a Michael Moore film... same arguments. According to this logic this argument will be made over and over until the rates are at their highest level. Just because somebody can look at a 90%+ tax rate and come to the conclusion it is unjust does not make them an idiot. I am so sick of hearing about the top 2% with Obama and his distortion of "fair". Define: fair (graduated does not fit) Really? The tax burdens are at their lowest point since 1958, yet you have the nerve to suggest that somehow this is an opportunity for the "big bad" government to come in and raise taxes to unheard of levels? Take a look at this graph, it's going to be a real eye opener for you, and if you can follow me now you will see that this is basic high school math. Tax burdens on the rich decline to record lows... Debt increases on EVERYONE to record highs... I am not even sure if you are directing this at me since it is disconnected from what I was talking about. I love the condescending attitude like if I disagree I must not be very learned .. or somthin. Do you have data on the spending side or are you completely focused on the revenue side. There are two sides to this equation perhaps the algebra is needed ... (middle school where I come from) If you want to say that the ONLY reason the US is in debt is because the top income earners are not paying 95% tax ... I would say that the US is overspending if they have to rely on a graduated tax system. "Debt increases on EVERYONE to record highs..." Exactly so why should few carry all the burden? The crux of the issue is ideology and what people think fair is, you can show me graphs forever on why you think somebody owes more tax for exactly the same amount of government service but I would never agree, it goes against my principals of what fair is. The only thing those graphs show is that the United States NEEDS more money and or less spending nothing else. |
