I've updated my public node at p2pool.stitthappens.com to 8.2-13-g764a90c
Although for now my GPUs are pointed at vanitypool.appspot.com

So I haven't had oclvanityminer lock up on me again. It's been quitting properly with ctrl+c.
I noticed that if I run 2 instances of the miner on the same card, I get a higher total mkey/s. I tried playing around with --threads to get the same effect, but that must not be what I thought.
Right now I have 3 instances of oclvanityminer running across 5 gpus and I get ~125 mkey/s instead of ~111.

So I just started running oclvanityminer on half my cards and already got a payout! Very cool.
One problem though, when I try to ctrl+c the program, the process goes defunct and goes to 100% CPU. Is there a better way to quit?

This sounds like a good use of GPU hashing power now that difficulty is growing ever higher.

I'm starting to like the idea of this even more. This is definitely the best use of "coin taint" I've seen.

If this is built on top of Bitcoin, could the transaction fee rules get in the way? I'm not sure, I'm just wondering, and I've had a couple beers.
In the interest of exploring new ideas, would this work better as an alt-coin that can be merged mined with bitcoin? Then we can experiment with custom generation methods and maybe even some custom opcodes.
With cross-chain trading we can still sell assetcoins (just a placeholder name to ease the discussion) for bitcoin, but with it being it's own coin, we could also change the generation method. Maybe with this alt-coin, mining would have no reward and there wouldn't be transactional fees. Instead, we could have a custom transaction that could make coins out of nothing. Since this would be merge-mined with bitcoin the generation wouldn't be a problem (miners are still being compensated). However not having transactional fees would be an issue. We dont want someone spamming, so maybe an alt-coin wouldn't work.
I still think having a minimum of one satoshi per share is a problem. The shares themselves should have no value besides that of the company. What if the value of Bitcoin goes up and your shares are now worth more used as bitcoin then traded as assetcoins? Maybe an alt-coin would cause more problems than its worth just to solve this one, but I'm just throwing out ideas.
As far as HFT goes, what if the client itself is essentially a trading bot? Trades would only happen while you are online, but this could remove some of the problems with needing a centralized order book.
For example, I want to start a company with 1000 shares, so I send a special transaction that says "Give me 1000 assetcoins for X company with signed contract hash Y." After a few confirmations, I would make a standing order in my client to sell those shares for .1BTC each (just an example number). Anyone could look up my contract out of band and make sure the hash matches so they know they are paying the right person. Then they would open their client and start a cross chain transaction with me.

After 3 months solid - Back to bitminter  (and fees) Now they will only solve 1 block every 2 days - (I tend to have that affect). If blocks increase - feel free to donate and I will stay away! Do you admit that you holding all blocks you found?  Well, I found 4 blocks in three months and got the little finder's fee for each - nice feature. I really like the idea of P2Pool, but got tired of lowering intensity (speed) in order to decrease stales and the like. I get 0.5 Gh/s more on the other pool (cranked at -I 13) No, I wouldn't know how to hold blocks. I just characteristically have bad L*ck  Anyway, my P2Pool payout amount will dwindle to nothing in the next 18 hours, after which you can expect tons of cha-chings. Well we are at 122% 7-day luck, so I guess your plan worked lol. |

I'd like to announce Scallion, my OpenCL vanity .onion address generator. It gets around 600MH/s on a 6870, allowing it to generate an 8-character prefix in just 15 minutes on average. It's written in C# and runs in both Linux (on Mono) and Windows. Features: 1) Blindingly fast - 600MH/s vs. 2MH/s for shallot 2) Performs PKCS #1 v2.1 sanity checks via openssl's RSA_check_key function 3) FOSS - MIT licence 4) Support for 1024, 2048, or 4096 bit keys 5) Estimates time required to generate a key (on average) Check out the Github page: http://www.github.com/lachesis/scallionor skip straight to the binaries: https://github.com/downloads/lachesis/scallion/scallion-v0.9.zipIf you have any problems, reply to this thread or open an issue on github. Awesome! Now if only I still had a server to run a hidden service on. |

If there was _any_ action taken toward GLBSE and or James McCarthy (nefario), there is a public record of this action.
Have you seen this paper?
Has anyone seen this paper?
what public record are you speaking about? Exactly... |

This is too bad. Looks like we really do need a decentralized alternative to GLBSE.

I don't see this working as you have presented it. PPS only works on a centralized pool that can handle a buffer. What happens when there is an unlucky round and all the shares you have received add up to more than 50 BTC? On a lucky round, does the miner just keep all the unclaimed shares? The result of two miners both using this strategy would be something like:
1. Miner A tries to mine 1 BTC for miner B and sends miner B a share proving this.
2. Miner B tries to mine 1 BTC for miner A and sends miner A a share proving this.
3. Jump to 1.
In order for this to not break on an unlucky round and be hop-proof, that 1 BTC is going to have to be a variable amount. This is why p2pool has a share chain. |

I guess I should have said, "sounds like a less efficient p2pool"
If each miner is tracking all of the other miners they are working with, aren't they going to be tracking it with something like a share chain?
How are you planning to pay out? Proportional? We've seen how well that works...

So you are an American building the company in America. Do you have any response to this? Sounds pretty important if the company is going to keep going ahead with building a DC.
I was quoting that more for the whole "nefario was fired from intersango" part than the "Americans are fucked" part. I think both parts are important. Do you not have an answer? I don't hold any Goat assets, so what hes talking about doesn't apply to me I think. My question has nothing to do with Goat. It has to do with you selling shares on an unregulated exchange as an American for an American company. Do you not think this has a potential to be a problem in the future? It seems to me that you are avoiding answering. I don't think he knows how to answer this. I think this because I don't know how to answer this... Yeah. I don't think anyone has an answer. I think its foolish to move ahead with a company, especially one that Diablo wants to be so large, without some sort of idea of the legal problems ahead. |

ya thats 2011 tax returns not 2008 Ah right. That's a lot of money if it's not a forgery. Not like it's hard to shop an e-form. |

I'm crossquoting this from the TYGRR delisting thread This is starting to remind me of bitcoinica and intersango behaviour. The users dont deserve to get screwed over because the owner of a site has a hissy fit.
I hope it works out amicably and soon.
Nefario used to work for Intersango but got fired when he froze my account the first time. I don't know if there is much more I can do until Nefario deals with this and explains his actions. I have also been looking into some of the legal stuff and I don't know if I can accept "codes" or assets from people who I know are Americans. I might even have to check IDs and address. I let GLBSE act as the broker and the exchange before so now that they want me to make more actions than I agreed to I will have to check and see if it is in fact legal and what is the legal way to do it. This has become a mess and I agree it is the asset holders who will be hurt most. Anyway if anyone know more about Americans dealing with securities directly with other Americans please let me know. Thanks. So you are an American building the company in America. Do you have any response to this? Sounds pretty important if the company is going to keep going ahead with building a DC. |
