With no notice it could be considered unfair.  I can not get to my miners for 3 days.  If my pools kicked me that would be three wasted days.  With notice I can switch to another pool or solo.

And I found the block  Grin

How about some bonus BTC  Wink
Grin

Too late for bonuses, lottery over 03/31  Smiley
But I probably start new on the next week, now I thinking about rules.


I will probably stay either way as I love this pool but prefer no lottery if the coins are coming out of everyone elses share.  The simpler and fairer the reward system the better.

Why would it be against the license if you offered to give away the source code?  Just because the binary is in the app store and the source is in a different spot it should be ok.

If it's all YOUR code and YOUR copyright, you can distribute it any way you want. If you're using others' code, the story is different.

Yes.  Understood.  Why I don't get (and I know there is a reason) is why many open source licenses are a problem with the Apple app store.  What is the specific licensing issue?

I've finished preliminary support for buying Newegg gift cards through CoinCard.  The biggest problem is that Newegg takes 24-48 hours to process the gift cards on their side before emailing the gift card code to the buyer.

For those of you interested in Newegg, would you still buy the gift cards even with this delay?

Yes, the delay sucks but cutting out paypal would be great!  I would use the newegg option.

Thanks for your grace under fire, slush. With rewards failing to increment and noisy people calling you a thief, I bet a lot of people didn't quite know what to think.

All of that plus a flood or possible attack on bitcoin itself to make your work harder.

Thanks slush for keeping it all working!

Please update your miners.
Could you respond to my last private email?

3429  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin File selling site [Offer] on: March 19, 2011, 03:40:07 PM

I can program this idea, but I won't be able to execute it. I need cash for that, which I don't have.
So for anyone interested in this, I can program the site and sell a one-year license to you for a price which is to be discussed(but decided by me), or we could form a partnership and split the money we earn 50:50.

If you decide to buy it, understand that you're buying a one-year license to use the code as is. One week time is granted to point out any faults that arise in regular operation.

If you decide to form a partnership:
I code, you pay and maintain the server. The intellectual property of the site will be yours. Whenever I decide to stop coding, you retain the intellectual rights, on the condition that I will get a bonus of 5% of the total accumulated profit, which you will have to pay. Whenever you decide to stop with this project, I will obtain the rights and you will get a 5% bonus. You will not get the copyrights of the code.

You may, under NO circumstances, share the site code. Doing so will lead to legal proceedings.


You would do better if you released it as copyrighted but not with a time based license.  Sell it at a lower cost to more people (it still will not be too many) vs trying to get one or two people who deal with your terms.  Charge a nominal (disclosed up front) fee for updates after the first year if you continue developing.  The owner should be allowed to modify the code for their own purpose but not re-distribute. 

OR...

Put out a group bounty to open source the code.

WE THE PEOPLE of the Milk Farmers community, who produce and sell milk, are the ones who can truly steer the market and contribute to the success of milk, the People's drink.

We are the ones with capital invested in farms, and ample supply of milk to sell. We do not need to sell out today or tomorrow to survive. We know that milk will be very successful and that its inherent value is much higher than today's prices of 0.8/BTC a gallon.

Take the rein of this bull market, accelerate the success of milk by raising your ask prices to the symbolic 2.00 BTC per gallon on the various exchange sites: MilkGox, Bitgallon Central, Milkex, Milker Market, etc. Buyers have no choice but to accept this price. On one hand this may antagonize them to some level, but on the other hand it is only a small price they are paying to contribute to the success of drinking milk.

Share this message with others. Join me and change your sell orders to a minimum of 2 BTC a gallon today!

3431  Economy / Marketplace / Iphone 3GS for sale 16gb black Applecare 320BTC on: March 19, 2011, 12:34:59 AM
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330543829481&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156

I will end auction early for a BTC sale. BTC price is dependent on BTC being between 77 to 83 cents.
   
Up for sale is a working iPhone 3gs.  The phone has very little wear because it was in a case most of its life.  Included are new headphones, charging block and USB cable.  The phone is in a generic non original AT&T box marked refurbished with stickers removed.  This phone has AppleCare until August 21'st 2011.  This is a 16gb model and has been updated to iOS 4.3.
3432  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Too pool or not to pool? That is the question... on: March 18, 2011, 02:08:51 PM
I don't understand HOW a pool could hurt mining, all it does is help!

Pools are just a bunch of miners working together to have smaller rewards more frequently, it helps the lower hashrate miners and gives security to the higher hashrate ones. They do not "steal" any btc from the smaller miners, as the hashrate of the pool is the SUM of the miners inside them

Pooling does not hurt mining but it can (not saying it does) hurt both the stability of bitcoin and the security of bitcoin.

If two large pools covered more then 50% of mining they owners could collude together to change transactions.  This is unlikely but it is not nearly as unlikely as 51% of individual miners coordinating and doing the same thing. 

Secondly if a pool fails it takes down a much greater amount of computing power for the network then if a single miner or even a group of miners fail.  It removes a part of the redundancy of the bitcoin network. 

That being said, I do group mine with two different pools and I solo mine as well and thank the pool operators for making pools. Pooling is not nearly as lucrative for the pool operator as I thought, as with a 2% commission a pool operator with 25% of all of the mining still does not make over 50BTC a day.  Someone could get a similar amount with about five 5970's.   

So the answer is, I pool.  Smiley

Wow it's taking a long time to grab a block  Grin

Can you riddle me another question: Is it normal to have 0% stale shares in your pool?
At the current rate we should (on average) get a block every two days or so.  The rewards will be higher then if we had more people working but occur less often.  On average they would be the same long term for any given work rate.

@Kiv,

When you choose "other" Server where can you manually enter the data (server address and port)?

I have same problem, I am trying to switch a miner to BTC pool from solo.
3435  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Has the bar been raised too high on: March 16, 2011, 01:39:17 PM

but the computation speed is already dropping like a stone, due to many of the curious losing interest, so the difficulty will be dropping massively next adjustment.

I would estimate we will see less then a 10% drop.  I am thinking around 70000.

Are we really to believe individuals would have not build earthquake resistant structures in Japan but for the Japanese government?

Just go to Haiti for your answer.  Tough building codes saved a lot of lives in Japan and lack of them killed a ton of people in Haiti.

3437  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: ATI catalyst driver 11.4 & APP SDK 2.4 BETA on: March 16, 2011, 01:59:54 AM
I saw almost no difference between 2.3 and 2.4.  Maybe 2.4 is 1% faster but I am not sure because the numbers keep changing.  At some point maybe I should reformat and load 2.1.

There are not too many systems under 1.6ghz with pci-e though I am sure you could find one.

Don't worry.  The Japanese will remember our soldiers helping them out and not remember that crap fabrication.

You all have cheap electricity!

$.40/kwh here in California.

Ouch that's rough, can almost run a diesel generator for that.
It's California though not going to pretend to be that surprised.
And you could run a natural gas generator for less then that.  In CA, with the subsidies, solar makes a lot of sense.
