2521  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to Create many bitcoin wallets with one main wallet as target. on: March 20, 2015, 07:04:22 PM
Hey everyone,

Im looking for a way to create many wallets think about 1k to 100k for my customers but with one main wallet as target.

This way i wanna give every login user a own bitcoin wallet adress (no withdraw function just the adress ) , so i can record
inside a database what every user sends to this adress.

Do any of you know anyway to make this possible or a way to look into ?

Kind Regards,
Nick

Blockchain's API would work perfectly for you.
https://blockchain.info/api/api_receive

Just call their API to get a new address, give that address to your costumer and every time they send a payment your server gets notified (so you can update the DB) and the payment is forwarded to your wallet.

I've implement this before, let me know if you need help.


This.  If there were a way to up-vote on here, you'd get a +1 from me.

OP, unless you want to write the functionality from scratch, this provides exactly the service you need.
2522  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: BITMAIN announces Antpool on: March 20, 2015, 04:27:09 PM
I'm trying out antpool and I don't see or get any stats at all on my workers. My rigs are certainly hashing, but the web site doesn't display anything. I should at least see my current hash rate somewhere. Is there a trick or something to get your stats to display?

I'm using

stratum+tcp://stratum.antpool.com:3333
worker.1


Scarey not to see your stats, so I wonder where the return is going to go?

You might want to reconsider your decision to start here at this time.  In case you've not seen the past few pages of this thread, the pool is undergoing a pretty significant DDoS attack and has been very unstable.  Even the pool reps are here in the thread stating that people might want to mine elsewhere for the time being, or at the very least ensure they've got a good backup option:

For now, PLEASE SET a backup pool outside Antpool to avoid any mining loss.

You DO NOT want to see this in your account with your Mining Gears.

*60TH/S could get you this...



2523  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: What are some tips on selecting an appropriate bitcoin/ASC-anything mining pool? on: March 20, 2015, 04:21:35 PM
Thanks you for your reply.

Where is this calculator? A link would help.
Sorry... I should have provided a link for you.  A good site is http://www.bitcoinwisdom.com/difficulty.  On the top right of the page you can put in different values and see the results.  For example, if you put in "1" in the "TH/s" box, you'll see the numbers adjust and find that expected earnings in BTC for 1TH/s are 0.0106BTC per day.

And also, how to find and compare various pools' stability? A step by step guide, baby step by baby step would help.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any step-by-step guide out there for you to peruse, other than the pool threads here on the forum.  I can give you personal experience, though.  I've mined on Slush, BTCGuild, GHash.io, kano, p2pool, Eligius, etc.  If you're looking for responsive pool operators, here's my list:

Eleuthria (BTCGuild)
DrHaribo (BitMinter)
kano (kano.is)
-ck (solo.ckpool)
wizkid057 (Eligius)

These folks are ALWAYS on the forums and either directly answering user questions or providing updates on pool happenings.

Other pools and operators have different methods of interaction.  For example, Slush uses IRC, email and a support website.  P2Pool has great community support and a ton of knowledgable and helpful users to answer your questions (you'll find me in that thread quite a bit, along with windpath, PatMan, jedimstr and a bunch more).

No, really, I have not decided if I want to mine altcoin or bitcoin. I care about stuff like stability and profits. Where to start? Going to the altcoin forum would imply I have already chosen a route - this is not the case.
I suggested you go to the alt coin forums because they are more knowledgable about their pools, switching algorithms, payouts, etc than you're likely to find here in the BTC side.  It was to help you research and educate yourself so that you might make a well-informed choice on where to mine, not a predisposition of choice.
2524  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: What are some tips on selecting an appropriate bitcoin/ASC-anything mining pool? on: March 20, 2015, 03:23:47 PM
I either was recommended MiddleCoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259649.0) which mines or mined(?) the altcoin of the day selected by a secret algorithm.

Yes, I read that this topic should be about bitcoin mining, not altcoin mining, but where should people post who doesn't care if they mine bitcoin or altcoin, just want to profit? Wink

Otherwise, I was advised Ghash.io, which was said to be the biggest - but now out of order. I don' t know, if the difficulty/electricity cost ratio is not favorable for the moment for some, others may still want to speculate that bitcoin price will increase, hence, mine. Is it not profitable to run the service for them? I don't know.

Ghash.io may not be the biggest, either: https://blockchain.info/pools

All in all, how to choose a bitcoin/altcoin pool (ASIC), if the main thing I care about is profit?


Stability of the pool, low-to-no fees, etc.  All things being equal, a pool is a pool and there's no magic bullet that says, "pool A is guaranteed to be more profitable than pool B".  Looking at an online calculator will provide you with expected earnings, and a pool that pays at or near those expectations is good.

Regarding your alt coin question, there are a number of pools out there that claim to have super secret algorithms for picking the most profitable coin.  There are also pools that will mine X coin and pay you out in Y coin.  You'll be better off asking about these options in the alt coin subforums.

And nobody's node is reporting the latest block.  Windpath's node, which is usually on top of it is not showing 348298.  OgNasty's NastyPoP stats don't show it... Those crazy orphan kids trying to hide! Tongue
2526  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Help me please. on: March 18, 2015, 09:28:11 PM
That eBay link included PSUs, which is nice.  However, don't forget that these other recommendations - the S5, SP20, S3, S1, etc - all require external PSUs to power them, so you'll need to factor that into your acquisition costs.

There are a couple of cloud mining services that are actually backed by real hardware: HashNest(Umisoo) by Bitmain and Genesis Mining by Spondoolies are two examples.  There are a boatload of fly-by-night operations that are just as likely to run off with your coins as they are to pay you.
2527  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: HELP WITH SETTING UP MINER on: March 18, 2015, 04:12:22 PM
As dropt mentioned, those values are given to you by whatever pool on which you choose to mine.  For example, on p2pool you use a BTC address as your user name and anything as a password.  If you were to mine on my p2pool node and your BTC address is 1DevLdogN52pHdjZnsgi4HzreFDB4ZHVre you'd enter:
Code:
cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:0.65 -o http://104.131.12.128:9332 -u 1DevLdogN52pHdjZnsgi4HzreFDB4ZHVre -p x --bmsc-voltage 0800 --bmsc-freq 1306
PS - unless you want to mine to my address, I certainly suggest you use your own BTC address Smiley
2528  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: solo mining with multibit on: March 18, 2015, 04:01:14 PM
MultiBit is a lightweight wallet client, and will not support being the backend for mining operations.  You'll need to install the Bitcoin core software for that.

As has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, you're about 3 years too late to the party for anything other than ASIC mining of BTC.
2529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: New to Bitcoin - how to transfer bitcoins when Bitcoin-qt hasn't synchronised on: March 18, 2015, 03:48:49 PM
Your best bet is to use some lightweight wallet if you need immediate access to your BTC.  You'll have to export your private key from your Bitcoin-Qt application via the debug console:
Code:
dumpprivkey "YOURBTCADDRESS"
You then import that key into your lightweight wallet (like MultiBit).

2531  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [BitAffNet] How we're the #1 Bitcoin Mining Pool In The World (proof inside) on: March 18, 2015, 01:50:06 PM

All PPS pools will eventually payout more than it mines if paying a 0% bonus, let alone a higher one.
There is a reason why PPS pools charge a fee and need a sizeable balance

I am confused about the first point...statistically speaking, over a period of time the luck should even out and even a PPS pool will "break even" yes?

the second point I understand...as we have experienced first hand, the pool needs to have a pretty good buffer to get over the unlucky humps

Let me expand a bit on kano's answer for you.

Statistically speaking, over time a PPS pool will be under 100% luck.  Why?  Orphans.  Every pool, no matter how well connected to the network is in a race with every other pool to submit a block to the chain.  Sometimes you're gonna lose that race.  So, if you discount the race, then over time you'd expect a 100% average luck.  Because of the race, you'd expect a less than 100% luck average over time.

That's why PPS pools typically charge fees - to cover the expected loss over time.  Without those fees, then the coverage must come from the pool operator's pockets.

The Sun God is a fun God Ra Ra Ra

I almost spit my coffee onto my laptop... too funny!
2532  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: A guide for mining efficiently on P2Pool, includes FUD repellent and FAQ on: March 17, 2015, 04:03:15 PM
It means don't run your public p2pool node on the same machine that holds your wallet.  For example I have bitcoind compiled and built without wallet functionality.  I connect my p2pool node to that daemon.  I start p2pool using
Code:
-a SOMEBTCADDRESS
My miners I point to a different address.  That way if my node gets compromised I won't lose any coin because there are none there.
You start bitcoind with disablewallet=1 in the bitcoin.conf to have no wallet.
I compiled it with no wallet Smiley  Pretty much negates the need for disablewallet

Of course it's gambling.  House edge is great for people who actually pay attention to it, but if everyone did you'd never see a single player sitting at a slot machine, betting on roulette or any number of other poor choices.  Everyone would be finding those 9/6 JoB poker machines.  While they certainly get their share of traffic I challenge you to find a casino where there are no players sitting at that penny slot hoping to land that 3.2M progressive.

Renting that kind of hash and pointing it to a solo pool you're banking on luck.  Burn 7BTC and hope you hit 25.  You're definitely not renting that kind of hash for the long game... Because you're pretty much guaranteed to lose.
2536  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin core 0.10.0 closes for no reason, no error on: March 17, 2015, 12:20:39 AM
So my node runs perfectly all weekend, no problem.  I go to work today, Monday, and just now received an email that my node is down.  WTF?  When this happened last week it was right about this time of the day.  Very curious, why does my node not like the week days?
Nobody likes Monday ... Not even Bitcoin Tongue

In all seriousness do you have the option of throwing a Linux distribution on that box instead of the ancient XP you've got now?

Yea, I could spare some hard drive space.  Does Linux need its own partition, or can I just install something like Ubuntu like any other program?  Guess I'll look into that

I have Cygwin and have used it exactly once, but I think you're saying I need a full OS.

Are you suggesting this because it would make my problem easier to trouble shoot, or just as a recommendation at large?  I know my comp is outdated and my OS is more than outdated. Sad

I'm suggesting it because a 64 bit Linux distribution will be a far better OS choice than the no-longer-supported XP you currently have.

Threw some rental hash back at p2pool last night about 1 hour before that block was found.... wish I had done it earlier but can hope the pool finds another fast couple.

Fail again... Tongue
LOL... I've refrained... the wound is still too fresh from the last time I rented Tongue

Nice drop in hash rate brings a block in....... Cheesy Tongue
I had to brush the dust off the wallet to see it for myself... A block... Haven't seen one of those in a while Smiley
2539  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let me know if I am getting this right. on: March 16, 2015, 05:06:38 PM
No, not cash anymore. See I have always done business by cash. However as dangerous as it has always been I was able to use a middleman. I lost the two I was using because, well one got married and it was hard for him to continue. The other had a situation. So then I started having to take the risk. Then I had a situation last year and here I am. If I were dealing cash only as I used to then it would be no problem at all.

So for now forward it will be done with crypto only. Thus I am learning everything I can as soon as I can. While working on getting a current order together - which worked out sooner than I expected I am now having to scramble to get this all figured out and working.

I know I can do everything 100% on my side and it only takes one person to mess up. So that's why I am not out looking for another runner. I am not gonna take the chance to make a mistake and trust someone I shouldn't. Again, if I use crypto then I am the only person I need to be concerned with. And trust me when I say. When the stakes are high. You cannot trust anyone other than yourself.
Are you stating that you are only going to be accepting payment for services rendered in crypto?  Maybe I'm missing some key piece of info here, and I've been following this thread.  I assume you are eventually looking to transfer the BTC you receive for services back into fiat, yes?  Any exchange you use for that purpose (coinbase, circle, etc) will have at least some level of KYC involved - usually via your linked bank account and credit cards.  Have you considered localbitcoins.com?
2540  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BITCOIN CORE on: March 16, 2015, 04:59:46 PM
Thanks a lot guys, uninstalling it right away, unfortunately the only cloud mining now is SCRYPT.CC which is experiencing difficulties, we don't know how it will end up. All others suck with the top being CEX.IO .

Buy the way where is the Blockchain transactions that i download so far about 13 GB, it didn't go away with uninstalling it Huh
There are plenty of cloud mining operations out there... and your assertion that cex.io is the best is amusing Smiley.  HashNest/UMISOO is owned/operated by Bitmain.  Genesis Mining is partnered with Spondoolies.  Both of those services actually have hardware behind them.

I'm glad you decided not to mine with your CPU... you would have been sorely disappointed.
