Ok, I may be way off with this, but it seems to me that since each block contains the hash of the previous block, this is a constant that must be in the found block regardless of who finds it. Considering how difficulty rises, some time in the distant future difficulty could be so high that for a given previous block hash there is no solution due to all possible solutions not being able to meet the difficulty.

Yes this is unlikly. But as the number of leading zeroes increases, the number of possible solutions decreases. It is possible to create the perfect storm if you will, where a solution can not be found for any possible inputs. if a block can't be found, the difficulty won't decrease because it is dependant on blocks being found.

Is it anticipated that this won't happen because difficulty will adjust down prior to this occurring? If so, one occurance of really bad luck and that one hash that can't be completed could occur. Is there anything built into the bitcoin algorithim to deal with this potential problem?

have you tried running using sudo? also recent versions of cgminer don't support GPUs anymore.

by default, the stratum proxy points at Slush's pool. you have to recompile it or something to make it point at other pools. If you have done that, try looking for typos.

same here.

will this affect Slush's stratum proxy?

now this is the way it is supposed to be done! I'll be ordering cards as soon at the price change is in effect.

Ok, think of your miner as a black box. you input a string of digits, of which the nounce is just a part, into the box and get a unique string of digits out. Incrementing the nounce creates a new input that results in a new, unique, output. Changing any part of the input string creates a new, unique output string. There other parts of that string of input numbers that vary. The transactions included, if you are using a pool that identifies itself in the coinbase, that would be different for the pools. Coinbase is part of that input string.

Basically, everyworker gets a somewhat unique set of inputs to work with.

Here there is only one coin to mine, Bitcoin. post in the alt coin section for anything else.

Actually, compared to what some people are running, that isn't that much. But yes, i understand that it is for you. Unfortunately, Luck is Luck and it will go where it will. eventually it should all balance out.

Some people feel it is wrong to have so much hasshing power centralized in one pool. Personally, i feel that they are wrong.

Teams offer no advantage.

The only way to silence a troll is to stop feeeding him (paying attention to him). if no one responds to him, he has no one to reply to.

Would it be too much trouble to add a nmc table to the payout & withdrawals section? just askin'.

Maybe because Antminers are a pain in the ass to run. I spent a day trying to get two to run on a machine that was running blue furys and gave up. After reading the forum a bit, i get the feeling that antminers want their own machine. I've got two sitting on a shelf doing nothing.

Interesting, I went to the store site and attempted to log in. It says i don't have an account although i have invoice in my e-mail dated 24/09/2013. I guess i'll just have to wait and see what happens. This is probably due to the website changing since the early orders.

I'm going to try shuffling them around, just didn't feel up to it today. I thought that i read that on the v2 motherboards you had to populate them in order, but if it works moving it, what the heck.

I'm feeling stupid today.    I just added two more boards to my rig. I now have SlotsS 0,1 4,5 8 C occupied. Oddly, the board in Slot 1 is grossly under performing:

this is a V2 motherboard any suggestions as to what to do? i looked through past posts but it literraly made my head hurt.

There is a deifference between "knowing" something and "thinking that you know" something. Conspiracy Theory people deal in their "belief" that things are the way that they say they are and everyone else just doesn't get it. Arguing with them is just like arguing any religion, you will never change their minds and they will be smug, knowing that their beliefs are right and you are wrong.

I'm not sure how you are mining, but to answer you question, 127.0.0.1:7777 tells the computer to look at itself. The other computers need the IP of the computer running QT. Also, incase you didn't catch it. QT has to be run with -server.

I don't think that this is a new coin, just an exercise in developing pool software.
