Even having a hundred dollars or two a month would be nice
How about this. Send bitstreams to early adopters with understanding that they do not share the bitstream with anyone (unless you ever decide to make it public), and they send you the earnings from the delta for 2 weeks. Example I have 11 Ztex 1.15y (44 LX150 chips total) currently at ~9.5 GH/s. If you make it 3x = 28.5 GH/s , i would gladly pay you 19 GH/s worth of mining proceeds for 2 weeks. I would in fact point the equivalent number of boards to a pool of your choosing. Thats $30.84/day from me alone at todays difficulty, maybe by the time ur done its $10/day... maybe lesser... I am sure im not alone in accepting this kind of offer... but this requires a leap of faith on both sides. (You trust that i donate the promissed hashrate to you, and I trust that you dont have something evil like timebombs in the bitstream)... ^ If you decide to opensource it(and provide bitstream that works with ztex firmware) , id donate a months worth of extra hash rate. |

If you 'locate cgminer.service' as root you will find the file you want. After editing reboot or reload cgminer and it will keep your settings.
One of these days I will get cgminer to make me a Big Jason file with all the options in it and I will make them avalible through the webui.
Neil
I found the file under '/usr/lib/systemd/system/cgminer-service'. But i can't save the file after changes. It's denied. Sorry, I'am Linux noob. Probably need to add 'sudo' to the front of whatever command you are using to edit the file. e.g. sudo vim filenameEdit: OK - what he said   Sorry couldnt resist. |

Example... the following is illegal in Thailand
1. Prostitution
2. Going out of your home without wearing underwear
3. Swimming across the river without carrying a coin
The article just sounds like the government advised them that its illegal.. basically saying "we have not declared it legal and at this moment we don't think its important to spend time and resources thinking about it.".
3 is a joke I suppose? :p In the article mining is NOT mentioned as illegal  2 and 3 i just stole from some site after googling... Having lived here for few years it seems very plausable. mining is not mentioned as legal, hence its illegal. Your argument is invalid. |

Again, this does not mean BOT has power to make Bitcoin illegal. They can make "suggestions" to the government. They can "advise" them. But they cannot write laws. For example BOT enforces the Exchange Control Act (which was enacted into law by the government, not by BOT), and this Act, unless changed by the government, does not prohibit Bitcoin. The day this Act will be changed, or another will be written, to prohibit Bitcoin, will be the day Bitcoin is illegal in Thailand. Until then Bitcoin is legal. Ok I stand corrected, but BOT has power to treat Bitcoin as currency... I am not much into legal stuff, but my understanding is that in general Thais do not need to update laws to prohibit new stuff, rather they need to update the laws if they need to allow it. |

Does this mean if redpoint has found block 175598 then it's on the wrong chain?
Yes |

So essentially this is like only Bank Of America saying "Bitcoin is illegal" and then everyone taking that as fact.
Well not really. Bank of Thailand is not comparable to Bank Of America but rather to the Federal Reserve in USA. One does not simply open an account with BOT. Other Thai banks open an account with BOT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_Thailand#Roles_and_ResponsibilitiesIt defines its roles as:
Print and issue banknotes and other security documents
Promote monetary stability and formulate monetary policies
Manage the BOT’s assets
Provide banking facilities to the government and act as the registrar for the government bonds
Provide banking facilities for the financial institutions
Establish or Support the establishment of payment system
Supervise and examine the financial institutions
Manage the country’s foreign exchange rate under the foreign exchange system and manage assets in the currency reserve according to the Currency Act
Control the foreign exchange according to the exchange control act The post (if true) sounds like BOT's assessment of the laws and they "advised" the exchange that Bitcoin is illegal. They probably have the power to make (unenforceable) policy with regards to Bitcoin... that is if it is recognized as currency. |

BKK, how much is this following news going to screw you?
Wierd. Is there some kind of law in Thailand that says everything is illegal unless a law permits it? (or is that article just poorly written). Yes and yes. Laws are a joke. A normal person breaks loads of laws during the course of normal day-to-day activities... such laws only come into play if you step on wrong toes. Example... the following is illegal in Thailand 1. Prostitution 2. Going out of your home without wearing underwear 3. Swimming across the river without carrying a coin The article just sounds like the government advised them that its illegal.. basically saying "we have not declared it legal and at this moment we don't think its important to spend time and resources thinking about it.". |

Right... because spending days (or weeks) on web design/dev instead of working on business plan or hardware or distribution channels makes more sense.... If you expect anyone to take you seriously, yes. If you have $$$ to toss at a web developer, for sure. If you just want to scam a couple of marks with no common sense, and don't even have the money to pay for hosting, NO. Edit: Business plan? 1. Announce a 28nm chip 2. Don't ask Ask for pre-order money 3 ? ? ? 4. PROFIT!!! I would say a good quality website is only needed to be ready if/when they have something ready for retail. So far I personally have an agnostic opinion of them, but having a full fledged website does not factor in. Just think about it, if their intention was to really scam people, they would put all their time and effort in making a buzzword loaded marketing scam. |

I don't know how p2pool works, but the firmware only supports stratum right now.
Does p2pool require a ton of memory ? Because that's probably going to be the limiting factor on the small CPU.
Edit: Note that every network connection also requires buffers, so maintaining connections with multiple peer doesn't sound like it would fit. However, you may still run the main p2pool software on a PC, and just offload the hashing to the board using getwork protocol.
Your assumptions are correct. P2Pool is not an option for standalone operation on a Cortex M3. It requires maintaining the blockchain (which basically means running bitcoind) and connections to the P2Pool network. Setting up a dedicated bitcoind/P2Pool server with a getwork/Stratum front-end is the only option here. running a p2pool node is totally out of the question. You have to use a real computer for that. The reason to ask about p2pool compatibility is something to do with how fast can the device interrupt work. In p2pool the work changes very often. IIRC some ASIC devices(Avalon? ASICMINER blades?) are unable to drop the existing work and start work on the fresh one which makes them very inefficient for p2pool resulting in high DOA... |

These come with heatsink or without? Burnin has both options on his store...

Wonder how they'll enforce it...
Apologies for going off topic.... but... you would be surprised whats legal/illegal in Thailand. Every person in Thailand probably breaks dozzens of laws on a daily basis which the authorities choose to ignore until you've stepped on the wrong toes... http://www.stupidlaws.com/laws/countries/thailand/It is illegal to not wear underwear in public. No one is permitted to swim across a river unless they have a coin in their pocket. |

Next difficulties will be:

382574
404237
412645
408217
392442
367529
336037
300544
block 039 in fact has 304518 difficulty, so your calculation looks pretty much accurate, does that mean that we will have 1 block per day at this pace? Newest block is 175046 ... How many more blocks to get back to normal levels? |

make something in it require windows to run if that is possible
if people want to fire up the vps clusters at least it will hopefully cost them a lot more to rape all the coins away.
huh? As a linux user i find that statement highly offensive. |

http://pastie.org/private/qzjzezzghx4ojwyysygfqwon Ubuntu 13.04 the apt-get supplied libusb fails, but libusb-1.0.16-rc10 reports success. I use cgminer 3.1.1 to mine using the serial interface. Newer cgminers typically do not detect AMU or show a hashrate of ~100 MH/s . I will try building cgminer master against this libusb version and report back if i have any success. Thanks, that info is perfect and says exactly what I'd hope it says. For 12.04 the problem for you is almost certainly in the libusb version. I expect (though I'll wait to see before I'm 100% certain) that current git and latest libusb should not get SICK devices, should not hash at ~100MH/s for some devices (instead of ~333MH/s) and should not have regular TIMEOUT errors (a rare few is OK) Detection problems 'might' also be addressed by current git since there is a usb config setup change I've added that may help Though interestingly enough, writing this test code I found a situation where it would actually get out of sync with replies during initialisation, that I'll look into and see if it is related, once the libusb version issue is clarified and resolved. FYI im on 13.04 not 12.04. I just rebuilt cgminer (newest commit bda1e333222e9921be793a1e517d84d4aba88ea5) ./configure command:- LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I/home/xxx/tmp/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb" LIBUSB_LIBS="/home/xxx/tmp/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a -ludev" ./configure --disable-opencl --disable-adl --enable-bflsc --enable-bitforce --enable-icarus --enable-modminer --enable-ztex --enable-avalon Summary: http://pastie.org/private/5qstv1txipwwddh97ujhmqboth AMUs are running at ~333MH/s.. and they start mining as soon as cgminer starts. Stopped and started a few times to be sure. If the problem is fixed for most linux users by using a specific libusb version AND inclusion of this version of libusb in distro repositories is not in the horizon, i guess cgminer should bundle the working lib. |

To think of it in another way.... 3600 GH/s is approximately what one would get from a single batch of Avalon chip orders... and I think first deliveries started couple of weeks ago.

there seems to be an update: https://github.com/terracoin/terracoin/issues/12and a new client update http://terracoin.org/news/Terracoin update 0.1.3-42 is now available for download at our sourceforge mirror and github repository. This build addresses the difficulty manipulation issue currently seen on the live chain, and will be mandatory on block 175000.
The code allowing such difficulty manipulations was added to the client prior to the ema difficulty adjustment implementation, it should have been removed from the client long ago to prevent this.
Once most network nodes are updated, and block 175000 is reached, the capped ema implementation should take care of abnormally forged blocks ; as usual, this is supposing the network gets more hashing power than the attacker(s).
With the current artificially decreased difficulty, and the network hashing power way higher than the 'awaited' rate, network will generate a lot of orphan blocks until this issue is addressed. yeah i rebuilt last night and there have been no commits since... still about 4500 more blocks for the patch to kick in... so i guess 90k TRC more to our attackers before the fix may or maynot work... probably we see some chain forking then. Anyone know if the exchanges will upgrade their clients before 175000 ? |
