2401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 released on: March 06, 2013, 03:00:45 PM
Why does Bitcoin-qt hog 99% of CPU for WinXP, slow down and make itself unusable, when downloading the last 10000 blocks or so? I cannot afford to burn my cpu at 80+ degrees celsius for days for downloading the last gigs of blockchain - where would high cpu resources used anyway, isn't the client doing mainly just download and not processing tasks?

Sorry if a wrong thread, it's frustrating to be unable to use the client since versions from past year or so. I would like to say bad design, but of course won't do it here.
No, blockchain download spends most of its time mainly processing the data.
You can thank flooders like SatoshiDice for making 10000 times more transactions than they should.

Note this isn't really a problem if miners are responsible and filter out the SatoshiDice flooding.
My git repository contains a "block_dice" branch to do just that.
The 0.8.0.eligius branch designed specifically for miners and pools also includes this.
Gavin also wrote up some more advanced configuration option examples here.

I received a tiny bit.. please let these accure until they're at least 1 mBTC or so - ideally much more (like 0.50 BTC?).
To actually spend what I was sent, I will have to pay a transaction fee far larger than the value of it!

I've uploaded alpha2 Windows builds of BFGMiner 3.0 for testing.

Bet at least most of those blocks were by pools neglecting their duty to filter out flooding attacks.

Just a little early notice.. 3.0 alpha1 will not work correctly with BitForce SC devices.
So expect to upgrade to 3.0 final before your ASICs arrive.
2408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 released on: March 03, 2013, 10:12:29 PM
Long-time user, here.  Just launched 0.8 for the first time.  I have the setting made to connect through proxy only (Tor).  The new client inherited that setting from previous installations.  I FORGOT to launch Tor, but the blockchain is downloading anyway.  

If I am not mistaken, this means it is connecting to the network, ignoring the proxy checked setting.

UPDATE:  It stopped syncing at 26 days left.  So maybe the bootstrapped portion of the block does not go through proxy?
The reindex comes off your hard drive (previous version's data).

Why doesn't Deepbit support at least X-Roll-NTime? :/

dude did u cheked out btc guild?


registration is like enter usernanme and ur paswrord

account created

create worker

work created

start mining in about 50 seconds

no deepbit buslhit:)
dude that's totally off topic for this thread

I started Eligius, which is a better pool than even BTCGuild, long before BTCGuild existed!

registration is even easier - you don't need to register at all lol

start mining in the 2 seconds it takes to paste your bitcoin address in your miner

no btc guild registration lameness:)

oh and eligius is no fee too lulz. why pay to use a pool
2410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin-Qt / bitcoind version 0.8.0 released on: March 03, 2013, 07:48:06 AM
I send 20btc today from Bitcoin-Qt without selecting any fee but i saw in blockchain info that a fee of 0.01000022 has been issued!
is this a bug or something else? should i set a default fee? how low?
Also it could be great if we are able to select the address that sent btc from.
The client just use all my available addresses!  Smiley
blockchain.info grossly misrepresents how Bitcoin works in various ways.
Please check your client to see the actual fee (double-click on the transaction on the Transactions page, if there is a fee it will show "Transaction fee: x BTC" - if it doesn't show this exact line, there was no fee paid).
Bitcoin does not have "from" addresses.

can you please check the firmware bin with the option  to overclock
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/xiangfu/avalon/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr703n-v1-squashfs-factory-20130128-32-oc.bin

20130127:
  * Add overclock code
  * Change the cgminer configure to UCI system
  * Add the simple web ui

Regards
Thorvald
Where is the source code for this?

Would love to get some feedback on BFGMiner for Avalon alpha as well..
2413  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Avalon ASIC users thread on: February 28, 2013, 10:04:04 PM
I`ve heard that the avalon "eats"(slows) the internet, is that true?  BTC GUILD at high difficult >100.
It shouldn't, at least mining on Eligius. I would imagine BTCGuild would handle it fine as well.

(above firmware seems to be fixed now; please note that if you symlink the BFGMiner OpenWrt Makefile directory, the symlink and directory names must be identical)

Made a BFGMiner 2.99.0 + experimental Avalon driver firmware image in case any Avalon users want to give it a try.

Be careful! If this (or anything else) bricks your Avalon's controller, you will need to attach a serial port to recover! I have no way to test this, so try it at your own risk. It should be possible to enable network recovery in U-Boot, but I cannot provide instructions for this yet. That being said, it is based very closely off the original Avalon firmware and driver code, so I don't expect any problems.

There is no web interface or init scripts for BFGMiner at this time, so you will need to use SSH to run it. It is, however, compiled with the usual Text-User-Interface (TUI) and include GNU "Screen".

Edit: OpenWrt trunk (r35828) config used to build this

Yes, use Port 3333 if you want to use Stratum.  You don't need to do stratum+tcp... just do the normal http://us1.eclipsemc.com:3333  ... although you CAN use stratum+tcp if you want.
Stratum isn't HTTP, so if http:// works, it's only because the software is self-correcting the mistake Wink
