Live boot cd/usb key on ram without hard disk, is a good idea?

Roaming/Bitcoin is 1.42GB now.

Yes it keep growing but pruning it should be possible

I think targeted evangelizing is kind of a bad idea. If you plan on using the service just ask if they take bitcoin, its cheaper for everyone once the system is in place.

I don't think the dev team gets enough credit. Remember that time the client had a security vulnerability and a bunch of people lost their money? Me neither.

In distributed computing there are some ppl that have some 10 years old or older CPU wich crunch 24/24 and they still work without problems. Sure, now they are mostly useless but they still work.

3428  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: if you had 200 GH/s which is the most profitable pool? on: March 10, 2012, 06:45:15 PM
Nonsense

P2pool has the variance of a 300GH/s pool, that means like 1 block every 6 hours

Eligius is 350GH/s, so it's pretty much the same thing

Quote
Yeah. This is pretty strange. I have heard numerous people that are saying that P2Pool <<< normal pool in terms of payouts but I have not tried this myself so it could be FUD.
Pure FUD

P2pool is decentralized and open source. Everyone can have a look at the source code and see how it work.
But sure spreading FUD is easier, after all noobs won't check soure code, they will just move to other pools like deepbit and make pool operators happy(=richer)
3429  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: if you had 200 GH/s which is the most profitable pool? on: March 10, 2012, 05:31:16 PM
Either solo mining (suggested) or p2pool.

forget any "normal pool", it's just a waste

With 200ghash you will find like more than one block per day.
3430  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: FPGA life expectancy? on: March 10, 2012, 04:07:04 PM
FPGA usually run much cooler than a GPU. I suppose that give them a longer life expectancy

Remember that it's all solid state things
3431  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: FPGA life expectancy? on: March 10, 2012, 03:24:05 PM
I think GPU can happily mine for much more than 3 years if kept at a decent temperature.
3432  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: if you had 200 GH/s which is the most profitable pool? on: March 10, 2012, 03:22:05 PM
I can recommend joining DeepBit.
This should be the most profitable solution, at least for me.

Solo mine.

But if someone wanted to attack, they would just create millions of dummy transactions back and forth between two addresses so that the size of the download would get so huge that nobody would be able to load up the client because of the hard drive space needed. Again, I may be way off on how that works but it seems that hard drive space could potentially be an issue if someone went about it right.
You forget transaction fees. If they want to do they will be forced to spend thousands of BTC on fees. Let's hope they do that, we will become rich

As for the BTC addresses, yes I know that there are billions (trillions?) of addresses, but could someone not set up thousands of bots to just keep creating addresses at a speed where they own all BTC addresses after a few years? What is preventing this from happening?
The fact that you seems to ignore how MANY possible addresses there are.

Thousands of bots? Useless.

Maybe if every planet on every galaxy in the whole universe is covered of bots, then maybe in more than the whole age of the universe they can find how many, 1% of all total addresses?
Mhh.... add some universes.
3436  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: a few questions about p2pool on: March 09, 2012, 10:08:40 PM
Rewards are sent to address based on how many p2pool shares that address have. So if both miners have the same address... well they are the same person  Cheesy
If they have different address then of course only the miner that find a share receive a payout.

Difficulty 1 shares are totally ignored by p2pool. If you want to divide the payout between you and your friends based on difficulty 1 shares...well then basically you want to make a normal pool based on p2pool, possible? Yes. Dunno if there are softwares to export datas

But...can't they simply mine on p2pool on their own? I  have a single 6950 and i have no problems finding shares. Sure, only some, but still i find them.
3437  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Anyone have any luck under clocking memory on 6990's ? on: March 09, 2012, 03:49:23 PM
do you have true confirmation that it actually lowered your memclock? like reduced energy consumption with a kill-a-watt or readout from your miner? Do you use a miner like cgminer which would verify the clock speed actually changed? I've seen tons of threads about msi afterburner, but the clock doesn't really change.

I've already tried afterburner and it doesn't do shet for me.

Having a surefire way to underclock memory on 6990's would Be huge for a lot of people. Tons of power and heat savings when you're talking 4gb of ram.

I'm talking windows 7 pro 64 bit here and i use cgminer, but cgminer isn't allowed to lower the memclock.

:O Cgminer cant change the memclock? Thats one hell of a surprise.
MSIafterburner works Flawlessly for me on my 6990, And yes, The memclock is acutally freaking changing. I dont lose 14° of temp, And gain 8mh/s with the fans running 20% slower, With a "Non effectivly changed" clock....

MSIa Also works Flawlessly on my XFX6870BE's I have two of them, I use them for gaming, I love the memclock drop, Saves me so much heat when mining.

MSIa Also works Flawlessly on my Shappire 5830 extreme (not lightning)

You absolutely must "enable unofficial overclocking"
Win7.64bit MSIa CGminer
CGminer doesn't work for underclocking memory clock of 6900 serie. Or better, it seems only MSI Afterburner work on underclocking the memory clock.

Tried Trixx, nothing.
Tried CGMiner, nothing.
CC Catalyst thing is useless since it only allow you to go at 1250 -.-

Tried MSI Afterburner, it work. Memory clock is really underclocked.

Reduced temperature. Without the  memory downclock GPU is much hotter

Welcome in P2Pool, the only safe and decentralized pool. All the advantages of solo mining with all the advantages of pool mining.
