Well first you need to navigate to where the Windows binary is, then you execute it with the same arguments you do on linux.

Code:

Actually it's a paradox. If it's GPU-resistant it's CPU friendly and botnets will dominate. If it's GPU minable, large GPU farms and/or ASICs will dominate. The way I see it, Proof of Stake without Proof of Work beats this i.e PPC.
2203  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: So many ASIC's Miner join, GPU mining will die on: April 27, 2013, 04:25:37 PM
Yeah, and I keep wondering why people even bother asking what GPUs to buy when it doesn't even matter anymore.

when i post a sell order of 1BTE for 0,0015BTC per BTE the rate becomes:
"0.001499999999992500000000038"  
How does that happen? Cheesy

See, I told you guys that Satoshis are infinitely divisible!

(I'm sure it's easily fixed.  But when coding with Bitcoin, it's so tempting to take the thing out to bazillions of decimal places, or use an arbitrary precision decimal class like Java's BigDecimal.....)
Yeah those are precision errors, usually happens when the coins are stored as FPs.

Either way, your link is not working for me.

With the recent wallet stealing applications and hacks, people won't just download and install this without the source.

SHA256 != Double SHA256.

Um... There is no such thing as "double Sha256", it is still sha256... and solved with sha256. You could use three, and call it triple... but that doesn't make it TripleSha256... if it was "double", it would be SHA512... Thus... stop applying "laymens terms" for post-process encryption methods that have no bearing on the actual processing/hashing component.

Tongue

I'm talking out my ass... Just throwing dust into the wind, to see if I can create a dust-storm from a hand-full of nothing.

Is that like double 128, because we do it twice, makes it 256? (Dur, hum, dum)

Someone came from the /b/ boards, right into the stereotypical pool of copy-cats... Trend much?
And I'll say it again Double SHA256 != DoubleSHa256. A Bitcoin block is a hash of the hash of the block header that is lower than the target difficulty.
2209  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Genesis Block on: April 27, 2013, 07:45:36 AM
Back when I was making genesis blocks for oodles of altcoins for the Galactic Milieu project, it used to be that when the program crapped out saying the genesis block hash was wrong, it would show the current genesis block's hash (the hash it claimed was wrong).

Back then there was, near the top of main.cpp, a definition of what the expected genesis block was to be. That is what it was comparing to the actual hash of the actual genesis block we had coded in ourselves for our new coin.

So, we'd take the current hash the error complained about and plug it in as the expected hash to compare against.

So basically you run it once to find out what your actual new genes block's hash actually is, then code that in as the correct genesis block hash to expect and run again.

Of course since nowadays you want a nice high difficulty as initial difficulty, it could take many hours or days or weeks to actually compute a genesis block hash that is actually difficult enough to match the starting difficulty of the coin, but that is just a matter of pointing enough hashing power at it and waiting for however long it takes.

-MarkM-

Does it even matter what the initial difficulty of the genesis block is? I mean, since you can change the code you can really control what happens and whatnot.

There is no chance of hacks working? Aimbot / maphack and the likes?
Even AAA games have hacks.

2212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Genesis Block Generator on: April 27, 2013, 06:46:26 AM
I tried your program with bitcoin's parameters:

Quote
$ gg 04678afdb0fe5548271967f1a67130b7105cd6a828e03909a67962e0ea1f61deb649f6bc3f

 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks" 486604799
...

Why I don't get the same genesis hash as in the bitcoin program?

Quote
uint256 hashGenesisBlock("0x000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f");

It looks like you've got a linebreak/space in the first argument.  I noticed this in OP's post too, if I double click the first argument it stops highlighting halfway through.  If I drag-select the whole thing and paste it somewhere, there's a space.  So, make sure you don't have any space between "bc3f" and "4cef".
It's because the nonce and unixtime are different.

For bitcoin, it's unixtime = 1231006505 and nonce = 2083236893

I will have to rework the program a bit and start working with switches for better control and/or parsing the data from a file.
2213  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is BBQcoin mining at 0 hash/sec? on: April 27, 2013, 06:28:25 AM
The correction to this problem:

add gen=1 to bbqcoin.conf, and ignore the miner tab.

Works for me. Smiley

BBQcoin still starts up extremely slowly, but it's not a big problem.
Well, you see, CPU mining BBQ is not worth it, too much CPU power and less returns. So it's pointless, in fact the only reason CPU mining exists in the reference clients is for informaton purposes only.

No, I was just curious of the old Bitcoin and found it on the internet.
2216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I late to the PPCoin party? (mining/price question) on: April 26, 2013, 10:56:28 PM
If you are talking about the BFL Single that does 25gh/s, it's not even confirmed they will ship let alone making plans to buy. PPcoin can be mined with power or without. Yep, you don't need any mining power to mine PPcoins so long as you actually have some amount and let them age more than 31-32 days.

I.e. I just can buy PPCoins at the exchange and just ... hold them. Right?
Should I be online all that time?

As I understand from PPCoin FAQ I will get 1% reward per year.
It's not so much...
You don't need to be online, not now at least. According to the information, the older the coins, the more you get per a PoS block. How hard it is to mine a PoS block(which is automatic and requires no actual mining on your side) is unknown to me.
2217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hey! who remembers this? Bitcoin 0.1! on: April 26, 2013, 10:50:50 PM
I have 0.1.3's source code and binary, just a week after 0.1's release.

2219  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: runnign python on: April 26, 2013, 10:01:18 PM
You would need the Python interpreter, it comes as an installer or zip, I recommend the installer. There is a 32-bit version and a 64-bit one, use whichever suits you. That should be all, unless that script depends on modules not part of standard Python.

http://www.python.org/download/

The Python installer associates .py files with Python so double clicking will execute them, or you can do it the old fashion and recommended way

Code:
python mypythonfile.py

Ok I executed the code, and the black screen appears and disappears. How can I determine if something actually happened? Can you send me a sample code that actually does something that I can see? Even "Hello World" but something that pull back from btc would be nice. Thanks.
Try it from the console then. As in open a new command prompt, navigate to where the python script is and execute the code I gave above.

I made two threads regarding ripple, and I still don't know what to do with them. Like, can I sell them for BTC? Can I actually do anything with them??
