I love having the p2pool.com support thread so I don't want to discourage you at all but you should really limit the altcoin talk here, since it explicitly off topic outside the altcoins subforum.



Good point. I'll edit

We've updated the stats above showing some of the addresses that have received extra hashes - some as much as 3+ hours/day for some time last week and today.  It varies, but remember, if you are mining on p2pool.com, you may be the one to get the extras!

p2pool.com now supports p2pool mining for SpainCoin:

Your SpainCoin address for the username


3364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: how to run bitcoind server on a ubuntu 13.04 server on: March 16, 2014, 11:42:56 PM
tried apt-get install bitcoind ?

The apt get repo is version .3.24 from 2011 - I wouldn't recommend it.


Use "Git clone http://github.com/...the rest..."

Then make it.

Then run it.

Unless you or someone else can access your old address your coins are gone. Undecided

Exactly. Once the coins are sent, they can't be rolled back.

Do you have a backup of your wallet from 2011, 2012 etc?

I was going to add spaincoin to p2pool.com, but am getting an error during make, see below.  Anyone else seeing this?  (I cloned it from github without issue, but haven't seen this error before when building other coins.)  If we can get passed this, then we'll be able to add it.

Running Ubuntu with many other coins on here.
Thanks

I thought it wasn't building alert.o, but lo and behold it was just a directory issue in github, I think. Duh. Thanks

This will probably answer the questions, but in general, yes:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_address
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding

:-)

(Obviously since they are numbers you can print a key in binary, decimal, hex or other format and it would not be case sensitive, so it depends a lot on the encoding and how it is displayed, but for the default format the above covers it.)
3369  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: anti-monopoly rules on: March 14, 2014, 06:54:15 PM
Am I wrong?

Yes.

You have a lot of assumptions in there that are unsupported and lots of hand-waving away problems, two to start:

1. Top level domain?  Bitcoin doesn't care about TLDs (assuming you are talking DNS TLDs).  So a single big ISP would be mining limited since all the IP addresses are under one TLD regardless of how many individuals are under that ISP?  What if a single miner has 80% of the network behind a single IP with NAT?

2. Physical location?  How are you tracking this?  What about Tor, i2p, VPNs etc?

PKI is about the only way to make this practical and enforceable, and having signed blocks is a new coin.

p2pool.org down for anyone else? Miners seem to roll over to back up pools. Anyone have any details on whats going on?



P2pool itself is up, you can set up other p2pool nodes as backups.  As roy7 says, for p2pool.org, you'll have to check with jude
3371  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Please help me get started! on: March 13, 2014, 04:23:48 PM
All good advice above. As far as pools, check out p2pool
3372  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's change to milli bitcoin already! on: March 13, 2014, 03:52:57 PM
People don't want to feel like they own a fraction of something.  I'm all for the move to Milli even if I'm not 100% fond of the name.

People should get used to it and calculate more. People are buing gold even if they own "fraction of kilogram".
This is like stupid posting "price per kg" on the packages of different weighted goods. Anyone should be able to do this math by himself and compare.

if you want widespread adoption you don't make people calculate more.. that's a poor business plan and a narrow minded approach.. you have to make them calculate less..

Besides, comparing with gold makes no sense... people don't use gold to buy coffee

This.  

Yes, those who can do math will do it, but people do not want to do math and many people think better in whole units.  The difference is marketing vs technical arguments about math and using a calculator.  It is a lot easier for the majority of people to miss a zero when entering 0.00005 and 0.000005.

But, as said above there is no standards body to impose standard units.  Setting a date in the future, and convincing a majority of large bitcoin exchanges/payment processors/web sites/developers etc to switch the default view to something else on that day is about the best you can hope for.

Hi,

Thanks so much for responding. 

The exchange is https://xnigma.com/.

The transaction ID is https://blockchain.info/tx/a72dfeaf8459b6c89b2988b4e77ad50e704290709f04bad62001e1ff4064c5a5

Any info would help as this is a bit above what I understand at the moment.

I read this guide. I have question

minimum system requirement computer or server to install this P2pool?
minimum bandwidth internet connection to run public p2pool?

which server rent to run public p2pool? caused I have plan to make public p2pool.

Much will depend on various factors.  For example, is this a p2pool for only bitcoin or many other alts too?  How many people do you hope to attract to mine on it?  How many incoming/outgoing connections for each *coind server?  The more instances of p2pool and *coind you are running the more memory, bandwidth, and CPUs (or cores) you'll need.

Is there any info or word on Maxcoin being supported by P2Pool?



Not that I'm aware of.  In the maxcoin thread(s) they might know more.

3379  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is thier a way to look at a blockexplorer efficently without revealign your IP. on: March 12, 2014, 01:27:54 AM
I recently watched a youtube video on the issues with using block explorers, eg they can IP log and have a good idea if that IP is related to those addresses if you keep looking

Is their a way to look at a blockexplorer efficiently without revealing your IP.

also Would a protocol update that allows the block chain to be queried sort of real time with each not thowing out a portion of the blockchain they hold, so as to distribute the query load? or some other scheme



Tor or i2p might be useful. Anonymizer.com type services  - If it is only an ip logging threat from the block explorer you are concerned about.

You can always run bitcoind locally and query it.

It would be cool to set it up via DNS so you could query <address here>.something.com

There are probably lots of other options too

:-)

3380  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How "Open Source" is Bitcoin? on: March 11, 2014, 10:59:27 PM
You can go to github.com, search for bitcoin and take a look at the code yourself.  If you know even a little computer science you can follow along with much of it.  Some areas wouldn't be clear without lots of study, but it is right there.  It is interesting to look at the code as a learning exercise and just to see how bitcoin performs various functions.

If your don't know the code in and out, it would be easy to miss edge and corner cases, but getting the general overview is useful.

So it is quite open source, lots of people who are experts in both CS and crypto have looked at it.
