I have 1500+ available to sell but I want $0.007

Let me know by PM when you're interested! Thanks

So you want $10 for everything? I think you made a mistake.
I am pretty sure he means BTC and not USD Smiley

Yeah, I was just helping out to make sure that there is no confusion for both of you.

For those of you who want instances with 16 cores, make one with 8 cores, and then resize it.

Overnight, each of my 16-core instances got 7-8 blocks Cheesy (8 hours maybe 9? Smiley )

I've just started an 8 core droplet and I'm getting anywhere from 700-1200 pps. I will probably to a 16 core at night but if it really creates an average of 1 block per hour you can make around 10 800xpm per month which can later be converted to nearly 50BTC . This means that your profit is $3k.

Well, with rising difficulty and GPU miners at some point, that won't hold true for long. Sad

To be honest, I would be ok if it held like that for a week or so.

I'm running a series of systems totalling 10K pps, no blocks for like 2 hours. Rising diff, or unlucky, 1 block per hour seems impossible now per 16 cores.

I knew it was too good to be true. Keep us updated.

I'm sorry I've just sold them to a friend of mine but I will hopefully get some more later today or tomorrow so I will definitely pm you first if you are still looking for some xpm.

It looks like they are ok with mining for now:

That, "Currently," in there makes me think that very soon it will be.

Yeah that also makes me a little bit woried. I'm a paying customer for a few months so I doubt they will just shut down my account.

would it not be better to improve this forum ?

It would be a better to improve this forum but good luck convincing Theymos to do anything suggested in this thread.

their financial issues

People being required to demonstrate the ability of not having financial issues before voicing opinions sounds like a very good thing to me.

Seriously? So you think that people with financial issue due to their class, situation etc shouldn't have an opinion?
My suggestion was a mere 0.1 BTC.  My point was, they should prove they can do the legwork of acquiring BTC and understanding how to use it before being able to post on the forum.  It would prevent some of the same old newbie posts from being reposted over and over again.  It also helps, in a small way, to prevent sockpuppets.  People could more easily connect the dots between sockpuppet accounts, unless the sockpuppeteer works hard to make sure the two addresses never interact.

But it also depends on what you want the forum to be.  Should it be a place of higher-level discussion with less "noise"?  That's what I heard it was supposed to be.  Locking out people who are just finding out about Bitcoin is a good way to do that.  They can go research elsewhere and discuss elsewhere until they have a greater understanding of Bitcoin, enough to keep down the noise and keep up the number of relevant and interesting conversations relative to noise posts.  If the new forum is supposed to be friendly to all, then it'll just turn into the same cesspool we have here (IMO).

Here's another rather radical idea:  Bitcoin addresses as usernames.

In order to "sign up" for the forum, you must have a legitimate Bitcoin address with a balance greater than 0.1 BTC.  You use this address to digitally sign a message verifying that you own the address.  In order to trade on the forum, your Bitcoin address must have a balance greater than, say, 2 BTC.  Usernames are simply full Bitcoin addresses (or firstbits, if you want to shorten them up a bit).

This would virtually eliminate forum spam, removing one major headache from administration.  It would make sockpuppeting more expensive (would have to put 0.1 BTC "on hold" for every sockpuppet you wanted to create) and more difficult to conceal (any accidental link between Bitcoin addresses could be proven by anyone, not just the forum administration looking at IP addresses).  It would also force people brand new to Bitcoin to actually acquire some before joining in on any discussions, bringing up the quality of the discussions that do take place.  But it wouldn't actually cost the forum users anything.

So to participate at the peak, it could have cost $520?
Numbers could be adjusted to whatever is deemed appropriate, of course.  The balance required for participation that I suggested was only 0.1 BTC too - I was just suggesting a higher balance required to participate in trading, as it lends a bit more trust to that person if they have to hold that much of a balance in limbo, so to speak.  And it doesn't actually cost anything - you just have to prove ownership of that much.

What if someone wants to find out more about Bitcoin or is looking for investment but has no Bitcoin themselves?

So for them, no matter how small the amount of Bitcoin, they would need to have a bank account (not everyone does), they would then need to transfer fees to an exchange, then buy some Bitcoin.

Sounds like quite a barrier to entry.
The minimum balance required to participate could be reduced then.  Heck, make it 0.00005430 BTC, and tell them to get it from a faucet.  Anyone can still participate for free, but they must at least prove that they know the basics of how to use Bitcoin.  This wouldn't prevent sockpuppets at all, but it would at least prevent people who have no idea about Bitcoin from generating extra noise on the forum.

EDIT:  But if the idea is to promote higher-level discussions of Bitcoin, is such a barrier to entry a bad thing?

I think that the forum should be as newbie friendly as possible. This will help allow to attract a lot of members. It's better for all of us if we treat newbies in the best possible way.

I guess it's your call Viceroy

You misunderstood SgtSpike: you wouldn't have to pay to register/post, you would just have to sign a message with a signature whose corresponding address has at least 2BTC
I agree with this

Maybe not in all subforums though

That would make the forum extremely unfriendly to newbies and many others. A lot of people don't have btc due to their financial issues for example but the still believe in bitcoin and want to discuss it with the community.

So has anyone mined any primecoin yet? My transaction still doesn't show anything but judging by the specs of the vps i'm not surprised.
2258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Mining PrimeCoin using DigitalOcean (VPS) on: July 09, 2013, 07:38:18 PM
Nice job guys.   We've killed DigitalOcean.

My site is still up and running so the vps should be mining.

What is the billing rate?  Is it a per/month charge, or do they actually charge your account per hour?


They charge the account per hour.

SSH newbie question... if I close the connection will the processes continue running? I'm using putty if that matters.

It should continue running.
