Mehr oder weniger. Du hast die echsenartigen Aliens vergessen, aber die halten sich bei solchen Sachen immer sehr im Hintergrund, da kann das schon mal passieren.

Nope, I guess indexing the blocks just takes its time since it covers all transactions, and there are a lot of transactions by now...
Mine is in May 2014, 33 weeks to go.

Onkel Paul

Today Ubuntu 14.10 had the new bitcoin-qt and bitcoind binaries. Kudos to the package maintainers!
Now bitcoin-qt reindexes the blocks, it's taking forever 
I'm all for using a less volatile EC library (and static linking) to avoid this in the future...

Ich hab da so'n Signature-Deal am laufen 

Nee ernsthaft habe ich bisher keine praktischen Erfahrungen mit Mixern gemacht. Man kann sie halt für legitime und weniger legitime Zwecke einsetzen, so wie Küchenmesser und Hämmer...
Ich hatte bloß bisher keinen Bedarf bei meinen kleinen BTC-Bewegungen.

Onkel Paul

Wahrscheinlich in einem oder mehreren Mixern... Anders ist das Blockchain-Gedächtnis kaum zum Vergessen zu bringen.

I won't tell how much I have :-) - it's not much in fact :-(

Spending: Some donations, a humble bundle of games playable on linux, a little gambling a long time ago.
I'm not getting much at the moment (just the sig campaign, but since I don't have much time for posting right now it doesn't yield a lot) and I'm not spending much, so I'm mainly a hodler...

Ah and I don't think I've lost anything to scamming :-)

Onkel Paul

You probably need to fix your signature. Look at the first post to see the signature formats.
Your signature must match one of those for your posts to be counted.

Na dann kann ich ja bald wieder meinen CPU-Miner aktivieren Mal sehen, wann ckolivas den entsprechenden Code in cgminer wieder aktiviert...

That's a great approach but prepare yourself for lots of work and possibly fruitless discussion and negative feedback when you delete/disable spammy or scammy entries. You need a thick skin to do this well, and it takes quite a while until people trust your judgement.

I only took a cursory look at work4crypto.com, and it seems that it's really geared towards unskilled micro "jobs" such as signing up or giving feedback somewhere. If you want your job board to be different, you might set its scope to actual skilled work such as programming, web or graphics design, video production, article writing, etc. It might lead to fewer but higher-quality job postings.
In addition, a clear structure is pretty important! Let job seekers select which kinds of jobs they want to see, for example as a programmer I would not want to skip over lots of graphics design job offers just to find something that fits my skill set.

Onkel Paul

I'm really tempted...

No, I can resist that urge. But the explanation was somewhat wrong.
The trust numbers that you see for any account depend on your own trust list and the level of trust you put in them.
Level 1 means that you trust their feedback on accounts.
Level 2 means that you trust their feedback and that of those who are in their trust list
... and so on.
If you did not set up your own trust list, the "Default Trust" list is chosen, with a trust level of 2 or 3 if I remember correctly.
When you look a someone's profile, you see which members gave him trust feedback. I would advise anybody to check this before engaging into a transaction with someone. Just looking at the trust number displayed under the user name is not enough.

With 15 posts per week I'll get approximately the same that was max payout (hero member) before - not a bad change at all!
15 posts isn't that much, and the chance to get some more when I've got time to be more active is nice. I'll stay with this.

Onkel Paul

Are you sure we're looking at the same screenshot?
It's clearly showing 2 LISTENING lines, one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.
I would still suspect the firewall.

Impossible to answer if you want to get positive ROI within 3 months.
You did not state what your business model is. Faucets can only generate income if you use them to attract visitors which generate income, for example through ad views, gambling etc.
However, it is pretty much impossible to calculate how much a faucet must give away per day to attract enough visitors to make your business model viable. There are far too many variables.
Even if you know all of these variables, it still remains impossible since there are external factors (changing ad revenue etc.) that cannot be calculated.

I think the 51% problem is stated inaccurately here.
The actual problem is that with 51% hashing power, a malicious miner can refuse to mine on any chain which includes blocks mined by other miners, and can get away with it (i.e. his chain will be considered the real blockchain after some time).

Example:
(blocks mined by miner A, B or C are suffixed with a, b or c)

Miner A has more than 50% of hashpower.
All miners start with block 100.
- Miner A mines block 101a, broadcasts it, every other miner switches to 101a as the new head of the block chain.
- Miner B mines block 102b (based on 101a), he and miner C switch to 102b as the new head of block chain, A ignores it and stays with 101a.
- Miner C mines block 103c (based on 102b), which is used as the new blockchain head by B and C. A still stays with 101a.
- Miner A finally manages to mine block 102a (based on 101a), broadcasts it. Other miners ignore it since this chain is shorter than the 103c chain.
- Miner A manages to mine block 103a (based on 102a) before B or C mine a block, and broadcasts it. Depending on the calculations of the amount of work that went into each block, this may be accepted as the new head of the block chain, orphaning both 102b and 103c.
- If it does not happen now, it will happen eventually - miner A has the majority of hashing power and will eventually overtake any competing blockchain version with his own version.

(Hope I presented thet 51% problem correctly...)

Of course many people can do these things themselves. Still for some it might be preferable to pay someone else to do the work, due to time constraints or whatever other reasons. I can wash my car, yet still prefer to let someone else wash it (or drive through the car wash) because it's convenient.
This part of the forum is the "Services" section - offering services is perfectly on topic here.

Onkel Paul

Don't know why it's not working for you, so I can't fix that.
The data returned from http://blockchain.info/ticker looks ok, I can't run it through your PHP code at the moment but that shouldn't matter since you didn't change it.
I noticed that the data contains unicode chars for currency symbols, but I don't think that is new, so it should just work. But you might want to run a simple PHP test program to check for that.

I can offer one fix for your subject line, though: it's blockchain.info, not blockhain.info. Do I get a bounty now? (just kidding)

So würde ich das sehen. Die MOON Miner wollen die Coin verkaufen, aber keiner will sie haben. Sieht nicht nach ner Kaufempfehlung aus.

Onkel Paul

(ich wollte eigentlich noch einen Schwall Grundsätzliches zu Sinn und Unsinn von Altcoin-Spekulationen schreiben, aber das verkneife ich mir jetzt mal)

Vermutlich hat jemand ausgecasht. Die kleinen Altcoins haben vor allem einen Zweck: Pump&Dump, also erst den Kurs aufhübschen, bis genug Liquidität da ist, damit man seinen Haufen Alts gegen etwas Wertbeständigeres tauschen kann. Wenn dabei der Kurs in den Keller geht, tut's einem ja nicht mehr weh.

Onkel Paul

Sorry wenn's ein bisschen polemisch klingt, aber irgendwie hab ich zu den meisten Alts ein reserviertes Verhältnis. LTC als erstes Experiment mit anderem Algorithmus und Blockzeiten hatte noch Sinn, ein paar andere Experimente haben wenigstens interessante Erkenntnisse gebracht, aber vieles ist einfach nur zusammengeklatscht, um damit Spekulanten abzuzocken.
BTW (und damit ist dann auch Schluss mit der Polemik): Was bedeutet denn das Logo? Sieht irgendwie nach Kondom aus :-)

This is somewhat akin to asking "Can I use my Android phone as the PA system for a rock concert in a stadium?"
Of course you can, but the results won't be satisfying. Mining needs specialized hardware, and even if you buy some ASIC hardware you're likely to get less than your investment when you subtract operating costs from mining results.

If you need to ask whether you can mine with your phone it is very unlikely that you could make a profit with any mining hardware since you don't know nearly enough about it.

Onkel Paul

True, there's some risk, but I hope that the minimum post count will be reasonable and will just eliminate inactive accounts without affecting normal users much. I'm ok with it and will most likely not change my posting frequency (and I do hope my posts are considered constructive by enough people).
