And it seems is going down again...
You are sooo impatient  . Corrections are natural, even more when market is on all-time extremes. And every correction is good chance to buy more bitcoins for great price! |

Now I wish I hadn't put in that "sell" order at .95. But it seemed so high compared to where we were...
Now you have chance to buy it again on the same or very similar price . |

Hello, thanks for the API. Few questions/comments: a) What exactly is the ticker? Why server broadcast so many packets without any changed data? I see few updates per second without any change... b) Can you please post example of subscribe/unsubscribe command? It's not clear for me how to unsubscribe from ticker. c) Can you include (official) server timestamps to the broadcasts? Client timestamps in trading platforms are hell... I'm sorry, I miss 'date' field  |

Interesting, mystery miner is a single entity/machine. Probably a commercial or academic cluster or supercomputer then. Wonder what incentivises them to be on/off the bitcoin network? (Besides having spare cycles).
There are more arguments to think that MM was botnet. One of them is that MM shut it down after few days. 50k BTC is pretty nice result and every day of botnet operation is bigger risk of troubles... |

It is only an assumption that the "mystery miner" is a single person or group. That's is actually unlikely.
Mystery miner was single person and his wallet is tracked already. Please search #bitcoin-dev logs for "MM" or "Mistery Miner". |

Looks like your pool forgot switch to higher difficulty  . |

I wish Slush's pool showed your miners current hash rate. I like to monitor my systems performance during the day while Im out. Tycho's pool does this its pretty sweet.
Worker hash rates are hidden in profile HTML source. You can use greasemonkey script (link in first post of pool thread) to show that. I'm hiding that by default, because tens of users PMed me "I have 400khash/s miner, why hashmeter shows zero?". I'll consider some 'advanced view' which shows it on profile page directly... |

I tried to set the thresold to 0.50 but doesnt work.
What kind of trouble you got? You can set threshold to 0.01 and system will send almost everything to you (rewards under 0.01 will remain on account, because Bitcoin client cannot handle sub-cent amounts properly yet). |

It won't jump up & down because i'm not using score-based system, that's why i'm not showing "estimated reward".
Excuse me, but jumps in estimated reward are not related to score system. It's changing also in share based system for miners with slow submit rate, because in formula user_shares / total_shares * 50, 'total shares' is rising constantly, but 'user shares' is changing only time to time. |

Excuse me, but are you serious? EDIT: a) Give reason to them why THEY should accept Bitcoin. "I have bitcoins" isn't enough, currently this make disservice, because it sounds pretty funny (user OZO responded in this way). b) Send them to another site than bitcoin.org; for example weusecoins.com, bitcoinme.com or similar. bitcoin.org isn't good for absolute beginners. c) They don't know anything about bitcoins. Tell them that Bitcoins _are_ real money and they can convert btcs to usd; Tell them about mtgox.com or coincard (and tell them your excuse for weird coincard site layout ). d) Tell them about mybitcoin.com, so they don't need to run any 'bitcoin program' and setup is free. e) And please don't tell them anything about beating FED (you didn't do that - yet - but everytime I see "you should accept bitcoin because FED is bad", knife is opening in my pocket). We're interested in new economy model behind bitcoin, but you will motivate people with making more money better than with anti-fed activism.

You'll probably be interested to know that slush thinks this is a good idea too. I mentioned it to him several months ago.
Firstly, I see pretty unfair that you're publishing our private communication for your own defense. Secondly, this is 3 months old message and I learned a lot of things in meantime. My Pool is currently connected to ~100 other nodes, but I connect manually to some well known and well connected hubs. In last 400 blocks where I did some improvements, I didn't hit single failed block. So I think that 8% is really pretty high invalid ratio. Just for curiosity - how long time takes the processing of block broadcasts? I think that there might be some hidden problem behind your custom patches. It's no offense, I'm just thinking aloud. |

must have less than 0.6% invalid blocks to break even with each other.
Pool had no invalid blocks until my last infrastructure upgrade (>400 blocks back). So invalid blocks per last 1000 rounds are going slightly down, I'm sure it will be under 0.6% in few more rounds . |

i know a great way to get more donations to the faucet: allow donators to leave a short piece of text. since the bitcoin faucet is such a popular url, donators could leave a link to their website or company, acting as an advertisement. public pilanthopy to new bitcoin users as a way to promote your company/brand image...
Good idea! I'm for that! It's similar idea as milion dollar page . |

I agree. Shops are more difficult and also much more important because they establish Bitcoin as a currency of exchange at a specific value.
Agree, too. Is there any page with bitcoin plugins to well known ecommerce software? I know there are some plugins, but its pretty hard to find. As we see in this thread, site owners are asking for this. Nobody will code bitcoin payment plugin for self, but when we offer bitcoin plugins for their shops, life will be much easier. I'll pledge some money for developing those plugins, too. |

keep waiting?
yes |

keep waiting?
Yes. Your client must show something like '117894 blocks' in status bar, then you'll see faucet transaction. |

this patch is already in bitcoin upstream, it looks like more people watched it . I'll try to use that in pool tomorrow... |

I just sent all payments. It took little more time because I wrote script which automatize the task for the future. There is bitcoind patch available for the bitcoind deadlocks and I hope that the issue will be solved permanently in the near future. But I don't fully understand patched stuff, so I'm waiting to it's peer review by someone else than patch author. It isn't fun to test patches on such large payments . |
