Bitfinex isn't really real-time much. I have clarkmoody open where I can see the price in real-time, and significantly differs from the one displayed on bitfinex.

Remember that he got 2 setups for FC I am using the p2pool one, and i am getting paid every ~10 min  NONE of the pools listed anywhere in this thread work..absolutely none. |

I just verified the p2pool is working and the pushpool as well. This stuff is local to me, but on a second connection.
For p2pool the share difficulty is quite high (230k in cgminer, I don't know the conversion to FC diff). You'll see work restarts until you get a share. If you are relatively low power, I would recommend the pushpool, its share entry is much lower.
Not working for me. |

Also, on Bitfinex we need precision up to 8 decimal places, why isn't it like that? There is apparent rounding there.
Is there a single exchange out there which gives you access to the full precision of bitcoin amounts? All of the major exchanges employ some additional rounding, e.g. to 5 or 6 decimal numbers. This is annoying, but IMHO not really a problem, as long as there is a uniform and coherent policy used throughout the whole site (which also means that rounding has to be done once, and at the logically correct point, which is when actually a deal happens) PS: of course it is acceptable to round figures just for the purpose of presentation in the UI Btc-e allows use of all 8 decimal places. Gox does that too. |

Right now when you receive a PM, you have no idea it's there, all it says is MY MESSAGES[1] and it's very easy to miss it. Perhaps colored in red would be nice.

It's not working I tell you pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (unknown reason) |

Yeah, all the pools are down.

Wait a minute...does Bitfinex use floating point to represent money? If this is so, it's very very bad...I have 0.01 BTC, yet I cannot use it...this only happens when rounding is working behind the scene.
Floating point as such is not evil. (*) Only using floating point types with too less precision is dangerous. And rounding numbers without clue and reason is dangerous. According to the statements of Bitfinex staff, they're using some extended precision or big decimal type for their value calculations. (*) Often people are frighted by the fact that a simple fraction of 10 can not be represented exactly with binary floating point numbers.
But please consider that such a simple thing as 1/3 can not be represened exactly with decimal numbers, and in practice this doesn't cause much problems either.Bitcoin uses big integers to represent smaller amounts. And in need of even more precision, just up the integer. For instance, 50 bitcoins are reprsented as 50*1000000. Also, on Bitfinex we need precision up to 8 decimal places, why isn't it like that? There is apparent rounding there. |

Also, your website is slower than my P4 machine running Crysis, what the hell??

There is a proposal that will allow you to "update" your transaction unless it was included in a block, like say upping the fee, the old one will NOT be overwritten, but it will likely just get rejected.
I believe this will allow people to fix their transaction with higher fees.

How about this: 10 million coins, precision past the 8th decimal place to see whether people can handle playing with smaller amounts., initial difficulty is higher than 1, block reward is significantly smaller than 50 and perhaps faster blocks with fast retargetting.

Thanks.
I'm having a hard time believing that the answer is that non-straightforward. I mean, probably it uses /dev/urandom except in some weird circumstances that can be ruled out given certain basic assumptions (e.g., standard Linux on x86 without any special-purpose entropy-producing hardware). But yeah, this is just my intuition, I can't actually give evidence for this.
I guess one way to find out (for my particular instance) would be to do some kind of tracing of the actual binary I have to see what files it opens. Assuming it does use /dev/urandom, do you have any idea of how much entropy actually needs to be accumulated before creating another wallet?
And I don't suppose there is any easy way to guarantee some other process doesn't suck up the entropy right before bitcoin uses it?
Honestly, it seems like /dev/random would be better for my purposes, since it'll block until it gets enough entropy. I wonder if I can symlink /dev/urandom to /dev/random or something crazy like that.
Everything Bitcoin uses is open source, including Bitcoin itself. So I have no idea why you would want to disassemble the binary. I also think the default seeds that OpenSSL uses are MORE than enough for your needs. |

To get the ball rolling a bit on Feathercoin (well, mostly just for fun) I am auctioning off a free copy of Crysis 3 bundled with a Bioshock Infinite steam coupon. Starting bid is 100 FC, increments are 50 (or more) FC. I am open to escrow, otherwise you will go first, unless you are a very trusted member I was trying to sell mine as well, but if you haven't played Infinite, I recommend keeping it  Oh, I kept one for myself  Loving Bioshock so far, Crysis 3 is alright, but I'm no good at it. :/ Hehe, I am a Crysis 2 veteran, played it for two years before Crysis 3 came out, purchased it, unfortunately Crytek made the same mistakes...bugs bugs and bugs. However, that still doesn't prevent me to pwn people. |

Where are you mining anyway? Switch to Coinotron TRC for a while and check if mining works properly with such setup. For me it works fine. I never said I was having trouble mining, I was saying that it's still being exploited with a person with a lot of hashing power. He mines till the difficulty goes up by like x10, waits for it to drop to 5k, and mine again. Then you will see a classical dump on the market. This miner likely has a few thousand blocks, if he sells those, he would get a nifty chunk of btc, which is a few grand. |

It seems you are still on old abandoned blockchain and / or have wrong miner setup. Also, network still not passed block 110322 required for new patch
to kick in so you should not judge on how good or bad newest difficulty retargeting works.
I installed 0.1.3-3 8 from the official website getinfo yields {

"protocolversion" : 70001,

And yet your profile says "Trade TRC, BTE, and LTC at RBCex".
