People invest in mining coin because of what it can be. Not for what it is today. More fees spread over more transactions is definitely in their interest. If core devs insist on keeping this veneer of control, they would be wise to compromise for 4MB in 2016, and doubling at the halvings.
Nah, I'd suggest that most miners are in it for the block subsidy right now. Now, when that goes away and the richest of the rich, well, those who want to keep their currency movements secret, well, those who don't have the "right contacts" to do it for them in the demonstrably corrupt banking system have Bitcoin usage down to a couple of transactions an hour, I guess someone will fire up a GPU miner for beer money. |

Yes, similarly SDRs are known to be worthless  Explain SDRs to me in a way which doesn't involve currencies that millions, if not billions of people from poorest to richest use in transactions everyday (including "tipping for coffee"). |

I'd rather we have 100x more Popescus buy into Bitcoin than a million more "community" retards like you. I learned that from Warren Buffet  Ah, Warren "Asset stripping" Buffet, the guy who enriches himself at the expense of turning good strong companies into worthless husks. Appropriate. |

 There will be a gang of persons willing to pay 5$, 10$, hell 50$ for complete monetary sovereignty. These people are presently paying orders of magnitude more to move their money around the world unnoticed. Any given type of money is only useful to the very rich in that it gets the little people to do stuff for you like build your yacht or pass legislation in your favor. If Bitcoin is supposed to be some token that the wealthy only pass around amongst themselves (it isn't), it will fail. |

This is what I'm talking about.  If it's shares over the last 24 hours, surely the payout should drop slowly as old shares expire (which it seems to do on Fri 16th to Sat 17th)? |

Any idea why payouts drop off so precipitously when I have any issues with my setup. I mean, obviously the payout builds up slowly over time but surely they should drop of at a similar rate? I made some changes which apparently stopped p2pool from producing valid shares then shortly after that, my potential payout dropped from near .025 btc to around .002 in almost no time.

If your mining on your own public node then it's IP is traceable, if your mining on someone else's node then they can see your miners IP... The latency introduced by using VPN or Tor will kill most of your shares...
That being said its about as anonymous as you can get until you spend the coins, then the recipient can easily tell they are fresh P2Pool block reward coins and depending on what you buy will most likely need some kind of contact info for you. You could mix them first if your really paranoid...
I'd say overall P2Pool is highly private, but like with anything else bitcoin only truly anonymous if you follow strict and comprehensive practices to avoid identity disclosure from day 1.
So what I'm hearing is: Mine on your neighbor's wifi  |

Edit: Nevermind. Blockchain timestamp is UTC. The time difference takes care of some of that. Close enough. Next block, please.
One of the many beauties of p2pool - payments are always correct & always paid. No reliance on any middleman & no chance of being conned And no chain of ownership Though it surely is not completely anonymous. Just how traceable is p2pool? |
|
|

Hmm, my payout is about 1/10 of what my graph shows it should be... Graph shows ~0.02, payout was <0.002 Edit: Nevermind. Blockchain timestamp is UTC. The time difference takes care of some of that. Close enough. Next block, please. |

question was: Have one p2pool process connecting to multiple bitcoind processes via RPC at the same time?
you have answered: No.
how should I undersand this: [BITCOIND_RPCUSERPASS [BITCOIND_RPCUSERPASS ...]]
Fallback option? You might be able to connect to multiple bitcoinds with a load balancer, maybe. |

Anyone know what this means?
Antminer (S5) starts beeping about every two seconds. If I check the status page, temperatures are OK (59 and 63), chains are all 'o' but hashrate has dropped to near zero. After about 60 seconds, there is a long beep then it looks like things recover.
Previously, I have just restarted when beeping has occurred but now I'm wondering if that was pointless and preferably, I'd like to stop it happening in the first place.
It will beep if you loose internet connection or the Pool goes down for some reason. This could be the reason? Rich Hmm. Possible. I'm on a local p2pool and it appears to still be up but it could be something, likely the bitcoind. Seems like it's nothing to worry about though. |

There's never been a boom and bust that wasn't perpetuated by government involvement, except every one that's happened to Bitcoin. Yes Atlas, Bitcoin is so immune that it's no longer worth $1,200. lol
"Perpetuated". It doesn't mean that there aren't booms and busts, just that they tend to right themselves naturally if governments don't try to meddle. I wouldn't necessarily say "never" myself though. |

Edit: If the results are OK in the morning I'll do a reboot to make sure the settings keep - if they do then it's all good & I'll update my other S5's I believe it will not. In which case, I may tweak this firmware instead If I do, I'll make 4.9.0 the default. |

OK, this is a pretty trivial request and others may not agree with me but I'll run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.
I run with several accounts and after I have done working with an account and I am on the "balance" screen, I'll hit the back button, intending to go back to the accounts selection screen to work with a different account and the app will exit.
Now, obviously, this is "correct" given the logic of the UI but it would be nice if hitting back in this situation (and maybe others) would take you to the account selection screen. Having done some android development, I know this would be a pretty simple change.
Thoughts?

Are we on rally now?
I don't think so. I don't think one is imminent either. |

We also have a valuable limit used to avoid spam filling up blocks, I'd also like to keep it that way.
OK, so now we have to define what is a valuable limit for *now*, not what was a valuable limit for *then*. You could spam the network with less than 100th of the dollar cost then. |

Then again, how exactly is status quo an irrational stance?
It depends on how you define the status-quo. I would define it as we currently have more than ample space in a block for genuine transactions. I'd like to keep it that way. |

I would regard this as purely hypothetical. It could be made to work but you wouldn't want to do it. I suspect the varying mains voltage would be the least of the problems. In practice for safety reasons you would have to use a transformer, if you were doing that you might as well step the voltage down, and once you have done that you have created an old school low efficiency linear PSU. Rich Yeah, it was more some idle contemplation but my thought was along the lines of not having to buy a pricey PSU for 10-20% of the miner cost. You could probably have a much higher current running through that too so more cost savings for multiple miners. A full ATX CPU seems like overkill just for a 12V supply. |
