Not asking for bitcoins randomly is also common courtesy.

Perhaps he is someone that wants to see new pools succeed!

There should be a wizard in that program that makes stuff really straight forward.

And someone is throwing 20 Ghashes at us!
Thanks person!

Are you going to wait until after this block to implement it?
(Note: I am #45, so I am still hashing so this would probably benefit me, but it might not really be perceived as fair to those who put a lot of work in at the beginning. Generally speaking though, I think score based is a great idea).

All I am saying is that hashing power is good for people who have already done their mining after around share 250000, because the marginal utility of mining original shares goes down after that.
Pool hoppers only mine to that point and then go elsewhere.
Basically, whoever the big hasher is in the pool is doing everyone else who has already mined this block a favor for diminishing returns. They have nothing to gain by doing this.

Bitcoins are basically internet cash. Which is one of the reasons it is growing more popular.
Like cash, all transactions are non-reversible.

Right, you would never give someone you don't know a cash loan. That wouldn't make sense.

While these are both valid points, in the same amount of time, I could have made 3 times what my estimated has turned into. I could have went a day or 2 more, where my estimated was before this, and still been good! But, from that first post, the nonchalant way of testing the waters first. Then it was an all of a sudden defense mode. Then a threat, ultimately following through! As if, reedin' 'n edumacation is far to difficult for our simple minds to comprehend. We need to be shown! Learn through example!
Are you inferring that a pool hopper is doing this? Because that makes no sense. We have reached the point on this block where a pool hopper would have long left our pool. Not just entered it for the first time. We all need to thank user 143 for doing us a service, whoever it is! |

I agree... Your estimated earnings mean nothing if you never find a block!!

1. create a pool with negative fee (maybe 0 fee is enough; several pools might be less suspicous)
2. wait until most people mine at your pools
3. force network to transfer everything to your address
should not be so expensive...
You cannot do that. You can only double spend your own coins if you control the network, not spend money you don't have, or force people to send you their money. |

As I understand it, if the # of hashes stay the same, the difficulty will approximately stay the same (only change a minor amount depending on how lucky everyone was the previous difficulty's blocks).
If the number of hashes goes down (it takes longer than expected to find blocks) difficulty will also go down.

Hi! The beginners guide at the top of this forum is probably a good place to start.
You don't need to 'connect your computers together'. All you need to do is download some mining software on both, join a pool, and point the mining software at the pool.
Mining is the act of attempting to 'discover' bitcoins by doing something computationally hard. Generating bitcoins is considered mining, but there are better programs to use than the client. Again, look at the beginner's guide.

Do you have to have a case? Can you leave it open and get some fans pointed at it?
|
|

Also keep in mind the difficulty will (probably) keep increasing as time goes on, so it will be harder and harder to find a block.
|
|
|
|
Probably the difficulty and the spot price  |

Problem is that the second suspicious things start happening a lot of stuff will happen. Miners will leave those pools. Bitcoins will lose value.
And remember, you can only double spend coins you already have. You still couldn't invent coins out of thin air, or anything like that.

Really you should pick several, and put them at varying priorities on your system, so if the main one goes down you have one or more backups.
You can use the -f command in poclbm to do this.
