lol organofcorti, pretty explanatory yeah.

Care to make a graph which compares standard prop with score type payouts and simulates intermittent disconnects from the pool ?

Can't seem to find a worthwhile explanation or graph around interwebs. If you have the ability so simulate score payouts over a 200 or more, rounds, normal and intermittent connection, to make a good average would be great.

Hey paraipan,

You handle's getting shorter, I see. I guess it must be more efficient that way?  Grin No? Not even a chuckle? Sigh.

Anyway your proposal sounds like a good project. I'll need to know a bit more:
  • Which type of score payout? I'm assuming Slush's?
  • How much does the intermittent connection affect share submission? How long would there be no share submission as a proportion of round length, and what would the reduction in average hashrate be?


yeah it's true bout my nick haha, thanks for considering my proposal organof
adding missing data:

- slush score would be a good example and easy for all to understand, yes
- the problems will cut share submission and work requests completely.

The graph should contain reference score just like you simulated before and it's equivalent containing real world parameter, miner pool connection, that adds to pool variance as a whole. You take the reference point, can be 1-5 minutes every hour, 1 hour every day or 1 day every month, because it depends on the time frame you choose to sample.

Thanks again for providing this kind of resources to the community, i'm sure some donations will come your way soon and be able to do even more stuff.

Only the time will tell this is not MyBitcoin v2.0.
It is probably one of the many Russian money laundering outfits. Incidentally Slashdot had an article recently about that industry:

http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/11/10/2131233/how-cell-phone-money-laundering-works

With friends like these Bitcoin doesn't need enemies.

my guess is okpay is a front for the russian mob  these guys look like mybitcoin 2.0 :/

give them a call and see if Tom W. works there  Wink

ps: too bad you can't customize the credit card they offer with a bitcoin logo, sucks

Abstract
..................................................................


 "Each node on the path in the tree from the seed to the authorizer appears on this
chain..."

yeah i get the point, some individuals realized they can't possibly trace transactions to their origin and now they try with social engineering schemes. Honest ppl will relay traffic regardless of their personal gain so they add value to the system, just like running a tor node, by helping other peers be free. They just suppose all nodes are miners, in their calculations.
I think it's a small price to pay for all the advantages i get in exchange  Cheesy

hey moki thanks for getting the spam issue sorted out, have another one for you though
you have this on the "buy credit" page...
Code:
1. Enter the bitcoin address you will be sending coins from and press submit:

umm, how am i supposed to know from what address i will be sending the coins ? clients selects automatically one or more input addresses to sum the total amount

Hmmm..I thought that it sent payment from this address listed on the client:

Your bitcoin address: 14ofhkLgaUzY1z2Zg7jM5Q4BTm1vszpBLF

I guess I was wrong. Payments can still be processed, but I will change it so that it says enter the amount of coins that will be sent instead. Thanks for pointing that out.





So the coins I sent dont say: received from: "14ofhkLgaUzY1z2Zg7jM5Q4BTm1vszpBLF"?

i don't get you very well, in the standard client you can't possibly know what addresses will be used to send a payment before hitting the pay button.
Example transactions that have multiple inputs and one output, destination address. You enter destination address and the software combines various inputs to make the sum of bitcoins.
Knowing from what address the bitcoins will come it's quite impossible, really  Cheesy

when you say shut down, do you mean restarts ?

does it bluescreen ?

If you've tried all that hardware, maybe its something like the IDE setting being set to AHCI ?


It's flashing blue screen very quickly before it restarts, yes.  Not sure if it's 100% of the time, but I know I've seen it at least a few times.

For like 1/10th of a sec u can see blue screen with white font.  I admit I don't actually know what the blue screen of death means other than your computer is temporarily fucked.  

seems like you tried everything there, hmm
you could try disabling things in BIOS like ethernet, sound, usb2.0 and change prio to integrated VGA first. The previous mem trick could work too. Sound like windows is trying to enable some controller and it gives a bluescreen instead.
Your last opt would be to RMA the motherboard if you can't resolve the issue.

Real simple...

1. Register on Mokimarket.com and use coupon code: bitcoin for 35 free credits
3. Bid on something with your free credits
4. Post bitcoin address plus the mokimarket username you registered in this post.

Once I confirm you have completed these 3 simple steps, I will send .1 bitcoins to your address

The coupon code will only 10 times, so if it doesn't work, it's probably because you were too late.

i don't' think i can get to far to meet people whey will there by a problem to trust me?   what is Linden Dollars?

linden dollars are the official currency in Second Life game. You buy them first and then bitcoins. You don't have to actually play the game only make an account on the exchange. Being smart on the exchange can avoid you paying to much for the bitcoins. You do with with your normal paypal account. Don't freak out if they delay your first btc withdrawal, it usually takes 12-24 hours. Nice and easy.

do what you please but you will ruin a nice guide in the process. Some people have personal agendas and you should take that into account when adopting their "corrections". Just my personal opinion.

How dare he ruin a guide with facts.   Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

Pls calm down and comment like the grown up person i suppose you are.
I could have sent that in pm and lose the chance to alert some individuals they are inducing biased opinions into other peoples work.

The proof is already on this forum, or other independent blogs out there, and they point out some of the "new discovered" payout algos are taking a share of the unsuspecting miners revenue and then claiming it evens out in the long run. In this business you're really better off by listening your instinct and a good example was the guide posted by kislam
3577  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Which is the best pool for mining? - A guide for choosing the right pool on: November 09, 2011, 03:45:41 PM
So given you accept that average reward is the same then for the sake of bias free article why not modify you parapgrah about rewards.

On average the reward will be the same but your paragraph only talks about instances where reward will be lower there is an exactly equally chance the reward will be higher so it makes no sense to talk about a scenario (naming Slush pool specifically) where a miner might get a lower reward.  You could name both scenarios, and scenario of getting the average reward but why not get rid of all that.

I would recommend simply indicate that average reward for any fair pool is the same (unless the pool can be hopped).  I would even add a sentence where the belief that PPLNS or score based pools "punish" miners is an urban legend.  In long run each miner will receive the same value for their shares.

Then in a separate section talk about variance. Conflating the two and talking about only the downside scenario simply reinforces this mistaken belief about pool rewards.

I plan to, but unfortunately don't have the time right now to revise it in a way that will do it justice, so I have edited the OP to request the reader to also read post#15 for clarifications.

do what you please but you will ruin a nice guide in the process. Some people have personal agendas and you should take that into account when adopting their "corrections". Just my personal opinion.

Si alguien intentara comprar muchos BTCs al principio el precio de estos subiría mucho, pero luego caería a cero, porque la popularidad de la moneda bajaría mucho, ya que sólo la tendría el que la compra, y claro, perdería su dinero.

todo lo contrario, parate a pensar un momento y veras el porque.

El precio nunca llegaria estaria por el precio que pagan los "mineros" igual que el oro. Si en algun futuro tendriamos una fuente de energia inagotable y gratis tampoco, porque tendrian que amortizar sus pc "mineros" y el tiempo invertido en la mineria.

Si una persona llegaria comprar una cantidad considerable de bitcoins aumentaria la escasez en el mercado con la consiguiente subida de precio en un entorno de demanda constante. Ten en cuenta que una gran parte de los bitcoins que entraran en la economia no van estar en venta nunca = mas escasez.

Es un poco parecido a lo que hacen los bancos en España, y supongo que en todo el mundo, con sus posesiones inmobiliarias, prefieren no poner en venta la gran parte de su cartera aunque no tengan liquidez para salvarse de la ruina porque tirarian el precio de la vivienda por los suelos en poco tiempo.

El mercado libre en todo su esplendor puede acojonar un poco, lo se.

Wouldn't a simple bitcoin-version of Ebay based on a web of trust (including user ratings) work?

Yes, this is a really good idea - I'm working on something similar and looking for collaborators.

finally a worthy comment, pls contact if you need any kind of help, i'm available and good at graphics, translations, beta testing or user support. Can provide some good ideas and help avoid developing dead-ends too, thanks

The ability to transfer funds worldwide without major timing, fee or regulation issues is a killer feature. Combined with the ability to store value, Bitcoin is incredibly awesome for pretty much... everyone.

Everybody who sells software online, virtually the entire financial sector, and websites with donations, hell most of the internet longs for something like Bitcoin. Silk Road is nothing more than a little media hype that becomes meaningless if Bitcoin ever gets serious.
