There is an application called Z-Hider which with Ctrl+Alt+Z hides an application's window completely, for windows.

However if they accidentally press that combo on anything else, it will also get hidden.

On the Linux instructions, there is no need for additional CFLAGS, -O3 suffices for this.
On the Centos installation instructions, you are missing a number after -j which specifiec concurrent compilation of files.

Well, the "patch" has worn off. It helped, quite a lot. Now it's time for some real oil.
2784  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Something amazing happened on: January 30, 2012, 08:16:10 AM
Well it's just that the temps are 20C lower. I am ok with that, as long as it's not a sensor bug.

My 5850 was at the brink of death, the fan was buzzing,scratching and basically the sound was horrible.

I opened the card with the intent to remove the fan and re-oil it. Sadly, some screws were stripped, so...I resorted to the hardcore method of forcibly opening it, melting the plastic where the screws were.
So, in the end I was able to open it, making holes in some visible places, but it got the job done. Now, I am well aware of the risks involved in using vegetable oil, either way, I had no choice but to use one
since I had no machine oil and was a Sunday.

Same RPM of the fan, no buzzing, HOWEVER! Temps, were reduced drastically.

Before: 75-81C core, 110VRMs at 600mhz mem,725 core, 1.075mV, 58-60% fan speed.
After: 60C core,83C VRMs, 600mhz mem,725 core,1.075 mV, 45% fan speed.

So basically, temps were reduced with me just re-oiling the fan which just fixed the horrible buzzing sound. It is extremely odd that the temps are now much lower than before.
Of course, since new furniture was purchased, I had to move the computer in a different position, which might have helped about this.

For a moment there, I read the thread title as "International Bitcoin Moneylaunderer". No joke was intended.

Had that happen to me. I tried whatnot, I had to start ALL OVER again.

Here is an offset for you guys to use if you indexed above block 93,000(I rounded this), and you screwed ABE somehow.

Change the offset to 52169990 and abe will not start from 0, and offset 930044092 for 163k or so.
2789  Bitcoin / Mining / Miners don't even know what P2SH is! on: January 26, 2012, 03:21:58 PM
In regards to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=60829.0

Users don't know what P2SH is, nor do I. So why do they have to vote, when they don't understand it?

The explanation in the wiki is vague and is meant for dev users. My dev experience is small, and I don't understand the bitcoin protocol in order to know what P2SH is.

An explanation is REQUIRED in order to vote.

The proper way is:

  echo $bitcoin->getreceivedbylabel("user1",2);
Why oh why would you use double-quotes there?!?!
Yup, we are not evaluating a variable. But, at least the wrote the integer without making it into string Smiley
2791  Other / Meta / Can't send PMs? on: January 21, 2012, 10:36:24 PM
I've observed for a while, that when I send a PM, it's not in my Outbox, and I get no verification it was sent, so I believe it's been disabled.

Is it?

Sadly, that always happens to me. Haven't debugged but worked around it. Open configure.ac, remove the pkg_config check for libcurl, open Makefile.am, and replace @LIBCURL_FLAGS@ or whatever the keyword is with direct paths to the library directory where libcurl.a resides and add -lcurl then.
2793  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: CGMINER miner overclock monitor fanspeed RPC in C linux/windows/osx 2.1.2 on: January 20, 2012, 03:47:17 PM
I noticed that [P]ool Management->[*I*]nformation does not display the Accepted shares for a pool, simply because the line is hidden due to too much content being displayed.
On Windows of course.

You just need to make the command prompt window larger.  Right click properties.  Increase vertical size.
Doesn't work.

@OP, do you have any suggestions that would actually help the crpytocurrency? it seems like your suggestion of forcing them to find two hashes would just halve the difficulty.

I'd like to see a coin with alternating blocks CPU/GPU.

why?
If you read the bit after that, you would find out it was merely an example. An example of thinking OUTSIDE of the box. People are too limited by what is already out there, re-using the same code, with minor changes. Namecoin while still just bitcoin, thought a bit outside of the box, and made something useful, why do you think it has worth?
2797  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: App which shutting down PC automatically if gpu temp reach a certain value on: January 19, 2012, 11:02:53 AM
fwiw, most GPUs auto-shutdown once they reach a particularly unsafe operating temperature - usually exactly @ 100*C.
Most people wouldn't want to go there. And CGminer's auto fan and clock control, didn't work for me.
2798  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: App which shutting down PC automatically if gpu temp reach a certain value on: January 19, 2012, 10:22:07 AM
Yes, I made on myself. First it will(depending on the miner, in my case it's cgminer) request via RPC to stop the offending thread. Should it fail, it will kill the miner altogether. It will then bench if the temp is still going above the threshold, in which case it will shutdown the PC.

It also detects FAN failure, and immediately shutdowns PC should it stop, or decrease below 700RPM.

I've posted this a few times actually, and before I realized it, I was bragging Tongue



Of course, it is for Windows only.
2799  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / A small suggestion for alt-currencies. on: January 19, 2012, 02:40:54 AM
Hi,

It's nice that you guys make new alt-coin forks, however there are a few problems with this.

You basically slap a few new functions in there, either change OR not the algorithm, make a new icon and call it ???coin.
Just because Satoshi crated the bitcoin protocol, and laid out some rules does not mean you have to abide by them when creating an alt-currency.

Imagine, that instead of one hash < target to solve a block, you need two or more, I am not suggesting anything, the point here is to think OUTSIDE of the box. Try to innovate, not copy/paste. If you need, change the very foundation of the fork, so it is completely different than how Bitcoin works.

That is all I wanted to say.
