261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZET] Zetacoin - SHA256 based coin - Quick transactions - Quick diff adjust on: August 04, 2013, 07:02:34 PM
nope no one able to connect, my only option was to run a pushpool based setup, but its not a viable long term solution, so im holding out till i finish converting the code i use for my scrypt codes to work with a sha coin, then ill have a pool up

Ive got it running with private eloipool instance (no share payout, etc) without problems. Just make sure your UpstreamNetworkId is set correctly for Zetacoin.

Code:
UpstreamNetworkId = b'\xFA\xB5\x03\xDF'
262  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTT] Ztex 1.15y for any ASIC device on: August 04, 2013, 09:28:33 AM
I want to trade 10 licensed Ztex 1.15y for any ASIC device of comparable hashrate.

Each Ztex board does ~850 MH/s . In return for 10 boards, i would like fully functional in-hand ASIC device(s) with demonstrated capacity of at-least 10GH/s at 30C ambient.

FPGAs will continue holding some value long after their usability with Bitcoins, but the same is not true for ASICs...

Shipping: Both parties pay their own shipping expenses over mutually agreed shipping methods.
Escrow: If needed, both parties will deposit an agreed amount with John K escrow and get it back if trade completes successfully. Each party pays their own escrow fee. I am open for no escrow if the trader is legit and has high rep.
Location of my hardware: Thailand

If interested please post or PM the ASIC device(s) you would like to swap.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I will ship only the board, you need to find heatsink (either one with fan attached or push air thru outside fan) and 12v PSU. I have these, but those power bricks are bulky and cost peanuts. You could very easily source locally or use ATX (i include terminal connectors).

Github source here - currently in a tree mcinit
https://github.com/memorycoin/memorycoin/tree/mcinit


Building the deamon gives me bitcoind .
is https://github.com/memorycoin/memorycoin/commits/0.8.3.july16 the main branch? That looks like bitcoin clone with nothing else in it.

getaccountaddress ""  <-- gives me address starting with 1

//Nevermind, it seems mcinit is the master not the default one...  Cant seem to connect to any of the addnodes... anyone got fresh ips?

we can almost certainly assume another pre-order which will undoubtedly elicit a familiar response, but again is par for the course as they have no significant funding to manufacture otherwise.
Maybe, and i hope you're wrong on that.  Here's the risk in pre-orders at this point, and why I'm more puzzled with each new one.  

Nobody is going to buy into a pre-order scheme without some way (escrow, PayPal, credit card) to refund the order any more. And all it's going to take is one announcement by someone who has the chip on the board and the board in the box with the mailing label stuck on the day the credit card authorizes.  Every one of the pre-orders would be a ghost town at that point.

You can say "yeah, but nobody has that kind of money."  Would you be willing to bet a couple million dollars on that?  Because that's what these pre-orders are doing.

Obv. I don't know, it a guess based on what details we have available. They claim in this thread to be well funded, that gives the impression they won't need pre-orders, yet on their site they mention seed capital of $1.2 million which barely covers the cumulative annual wages their current team is accustomed to. It could cover the path to taping out. It's no where near enough to cover 28nm dev. through fab, that's 100% certain. Let's just wait and see. Interesting times, if even solely as an observer...


I don't know about the tape out costs.. but on the topic of wages, most early startup founders(and early employees) work for a significant amount of time for "sweat equity" ... in exchange for potential huge payouts when company makes profit, or exits.

Here is the evidence of the liquid, has improved the performance of a single plate 946 to 963 MH/s, putting three plates have begun to have a pressure problem and I had to stop.


And a pretty cool video with the three boards running.

Looks pretty cool... The pressure problem was because of you not able to condense the vapour fast enough?

improved version
Code:
import random

names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]

print "Your new ASIC company name is:"
print random.choice(names1) + random.choice(names2)

Choose from: http://pastie.org/private/jyv9c4dyxoxoy4mf8pq4sg

Challenge accepted ;-)

Ruby (1.9+) version

Code:
names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]

puts "Your new ASIC company name is: #{names1.sample}#{names2.sample}"


Beautiful! Much improved Grin.

Don't forget the option to swap things around. How about:

Code:
import random

names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]
flip = random.randrange(2)

print "Your new ASIC company name is:"
if flip == 0:
    print random.choice(names1) + random.choice(names2)
else:
    print random.choice(names2) + random.choice(names1)

I'm afraid that I didn't attempt the Ruby, my horrible Python is enough to foist on the world.

Overkill edition :-
Code:
import random

names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]


print "Your new ASIC company name is: %s%s"  %(random.choice(random.choice([[name1 + name2, name2 + name1] for name1 in names1 for name2 in names2])))

This will give you all possible combinations (i think)
Code:
[[name1 + name2, name2 + name1] for name1 in names1 for name2 in names2]

Waiting for the perl hacker to come up with a one liner....

I said cool kids, I guess Sam and Yifu are hipsters.

Introducing the Forcecoin Bithash Fastminer... preorder now! Limited quantity!

See it works, mwuhahahaha!

(Damnit, I left out 'miner'!! Angry)

It does indeed work. Probably a good way to spawn copycat coin names too.

Code:
import random

def rngen():
    rnum = random.random()
    rinteger = int(rnum * 100)
    return rinteger

names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]

rn = rngen ()
while rn >= len(names1):
    rn = rngen()
part1 = names1[rn]

rn = rngen ()
while rn >= len(names2):
    rn = rngen()
part2 = names2[rn]

print "Your new ASIC company name is:"
print part1 + part2

Edit: works a bit better with print part2 + part1

improved version
Code:
import random

names1 = ["Fast","Extreme","Total","Quick","Fury","Total","Mega","Go","Lon","Miner","Smash","Con","HandRouted","Huge","Force","Monster","Beast","Wildcat","Eruptor","CalmDown"]
names2 = ["Bit","Coin","Hash","SHA-256","Ava","ASIC","Miner","Crypto","Blockchain"]

print "Your new ASIC company name is:"
print random.choice(names1) + random.choice(names2)

is there an overwiev of which batches by which group buy have arrived as of yet?

I think only zefir batch #1 has arrived.
271  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Bitfury ASIC sales in EU and Europe on: August 01, 2013, 11:16:23 AM
Now that August is here.... When do we expect the units to start shipping out?

In what order will the units ship? 400GH first or 25GH starter first? based on orderid or payment received?

</cant wait>
272  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: August 01, 2013, 10:43:57 AM
On another note, please consider calling your unit something drastically different than what VMC calls their unit: the "Fast-Hash-One."  I confused HashFast with VMC for a sec and almost preordered from the wrong company Wink

It's becoming quite the custom now similar names/initials, Bitfury Bitforce Butterfly, ASIC Miner Active Mining, HashFast fastHash, Labcoin Labratmining, all the cool kids are doing it.

Haha I think anything with 'bit', 'ASIC', 'hash', or 'coin' within a name, and general relevance to speed, or power is self explanatory within this discipline. You could probably create quite an amusing random ASIC co. name development tool using this principal Wink

Avalon? KNC?
273  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: BitCoin ruled illegal in Thailand on: July 31, 2013, 01:06:31 PM
From a bangkok post article in the newspaper today (business page 1)
Quote
The central bank said it will consider the issue further with no specific time line, said the company’s statement.

Governor Prasarn Trairatvorakul said the central bank rejected the request for foreign exchange operating licence of bitcoins on concern that it would lead to currency exchange speculation.
‘‘We need some time to seek advice from the ICT ministry and the Securities and Exchange Commission first,’’ he said

This was in an article attributed to AP, but the online versions of the article dont have that info (even on the version on the newspaper's site). Remembered reading it in the paper earlier... so looked it up in an online service...



I guess this is the only instance of a reply from BoT about this issue....

yay current block diff down to 45657 ... i guess 1 or 2 more blocks to reach positive ROI levels...
Then the attacker will dump his systems onto the coin and cause another spike.

But... since time wrap exploit has been fixed... they wont be able to do as much damage as before...

Well, I am not golden, nor are many of the pools... And I think you only "think" you are golden... (You might have gotten on the right chain, by luck. But I assume you are on the chain that I was, when it looked "golden" to me... but was a dud-chain, producing blocks that were useless and invalid, though they showed in the wallet, as if they were valid.)

Doing all the above, results in fail.

Being 8 days behind, and not being able to mine, and when I can mine, the blocks that were valid, later disappear... is not "golden".

I will laugh when you find you have mined all week long, and all the coins you think you have mined, are all gone, the next time you restart the wallet.

Which block-explorer is right.... there are two, not the same results. Every pool I see is generating all orphans.

Current diffs showing as... 71960.69, 5183.834, and 5432311.847...

Which fork are you on, that you "think" is the right one?

If you upgrade to the latest client, and re-sync the blockchain, im pretty sure ull end up with the same chain as http://trc.cryptocoinexplorer.com/ . Tried it twice, same results.
277  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: BitCoin ruled illegal in Thailand on: July 30, 2013, 06:18:02 PM
Would be the first court that can rule things illegal I ever heard of anyway. That's the parliaments/kings/dictators job. Courts interprets law, they don't make it.

i just find it funny how people think some guy in a bank = court = law


idiots all around...

You are correct. It did not say "court." However, I think that it would be very naive to totally disregard the fact that the Bank does not recognize the Bitcoin as a legitimate source of currency. I do not see how that does not factor into whether or not this public announcement will affect the use of Bitcoins in Thailand. When you want to make a point, you should not try to disprove other people's statements via name-calling. That only makes you look like you want to win your argument by any means necessary and not because your argument is actually a sound one.

Also, a court's interpretation of the law has A LOT to do with how the law is enforced. Words without meaning really don't mean much, do they?

Its the opposite. The statement if true recognizes Bitcoin to be a form of currency.
278  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TERRACOIN ATTACK OVER 1.2TH ATTACK CONFIRMD on: July 30, 2013, 03:26:38 PM
Great, you compile the code yourselves... but do you actually look at the code? That is the whole purpose of compiling yourself... so you can be sure you are compiling something that is not tainted.

https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/commits/master

I always skim over the diffs.

Anyone can read the full source if they wanted and raise an alarm if something was off. Thats the advantage of opensource, and compiling your own binaries. Im pretty sure if something malicious made it into the repo it would be noticed and made public immediately.... but i cant say the same for binaries...

First I should say I completely believe that Goat would know what he's talking about here...

Secondly, my dutch friend was just telling me he read about bitcoin being made illegal in thailand.

Not sure how this FUD can be being spread sooo far!


I know right!   Some random guy running a suspected scam site makes some crazy claims and the next thing i know i have 100 PMs and E-mails telling me to leave Thailand!

Insane!

Pi Goat,
Ive used their exchange in the past, did not get scammed. Ive also used bahtcoin.com cpl of times, it seems they are still operational.

Question to you is... in your opinion... is it this exchange trolling us, or is it BOT trolling the exchange?
