you should buy the account so that if one cpu uses 100% then it won't hurt the other vps.

So I would need a more expensive account just so I have a safeguard from you deleting my VPS due to lockups and accidental infinite loops that might end up in code?

About the TX. When I right-click on the transaction an chose "View on Blockchain.info", is it safe to post the web address or there is something private in it? I do not know where to find my public address.


Posting that address is OK, people generally post them to verify to others that they have made a payment, or to help diagnose a transaction.

Try contacting them first, to see if they can help you.

Oh Hi Vod!

Care to answer the question people have been asking you in like 5 threads here: What is the question or questions I deleted from my original investment topic that is the basis for your negative feedback?

Try not to dance around the subject this time and avoid it more.

I've answered the questions and you've twisted my words.  I'm done hashing this.

I've looked through a few topics regarding this, and I can see no direct answer as to what content was deleted. bitcointa.lk seems to be on a backlog and thus missing this. Please let the community know exactly what was deleted, so that we can make decisions for ourselves.

It's designed against account break-ins, it seems. They might dump a lot of the deposits into cold storage as well, due to the fact that they can reliably withdraw from cold storage, and reset the wallet/server to a clean offline state after that.

I see some gambling sites mention that they are provably fair. They provide some seed and ask to check some hash or whatever. My question is, can this fairness really be checked from outside ? Where are they twisting to make sure the house's win ?


Yes, it can.


I can explain it on simple example, (just the principle)

BTCRock - it's game where you have a grid 20x20 and you have 6 attempts to find gold vein.


Their proof is that immediately after solving captcha you can see hash of "gold vein coordinates ".





After you made your 6 tries, a result is shown to you:


 



Proof is that from begining the coordinates  gold vein was [11,9], and was not moved if you luckily hit it ( it would change the hash)

You can check it using: http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator

1 - enter: 65879c50984f5b9ede009960e6efa3c6|[11,9]    (proof of location, shown after game end)
2 - hash it (using sha2586)
3 - you'll get: c0344a8d187371c671d9e16cb27190a74caef8fe32ab66be7287ed050fca2b12       (this is what you know from begining)

tip: for clarity try to change one coordinate and hash it again, will see you got completely different hash.


P.S. This's only principle, and can be used in various way. You should check description on particular site.

That is an awesome explanation. I wonder how the house make sure that they win in the long term ? Do they really gamble with the user choice ?

They design the game so that in a fair, unmodified implementation under the rules, they get a house edge. A basic example would be a game that pays 2x a bet with provably fair "rolling", but you win 48% of the time. For instance, it picks a number between 1 and 100, and you win if it is less than or equal to 48.

If I see that you are using these VPS for mining or any other process that utilise the CPU usage to 95%+ for more than 4 consecutive hours then your VPS will be deleted.

What if, for instance, PHP or Tomcat craps out and gets stuck in a spinlock over night? Would the VPS still get deleted?

These VPS auto reboot if they get stuck.

How would a VPS be aware of what its processes are doing exactly? Will I need to configure a watchdog? Mind you, I had this happen previously with Tomcat, which did progress into a multiple-hour CPU hog.

I thought a seed can be manipulated..

Yes, but each side keeps a secret from the other side, so in the end all you can do is change the outcome without knowing what you change it to.

WARNING: I am having inconsistencies validating the compiled ready-to-run JAR.

I strongly recommend compiling from source, and using official copies of library jars when running, IF you want to use this program.
451  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: MyMiner - click and mine. on: July 23, 2014, 09:56:43 PM
Actually the code is much smaller than usual. This code is not a trojan, but it is not of a reasonable quality either. Reeks of "code-smell" of OS-specific handlers, and has issues actually buffering output from bfgminer properly. In addition, it fails to kill it correctly on non-windows systems.

Do not use (for reasons other than security)

These sites tend to use slightly counterintuitive terminology. Provably random? Yes. They can't pick results in advance; nor can you. Provably fair? No. They still get a bit of an edge to keep a profit, although they can be verified to not be taking more than their official rules say.

That's not you downloading something, that's you getting new coins as a result of PoS (a type of mining in which you get coins for leaving your wallet open and already having coins)
457  Economy / Lending / Re: Need $1.50 Paypal short term loan on: July 23, 2014, 06:48:16 PM
If friends, family or neighborhoods gave it to me I wouldn't be on this site asking for such a small amount. If anybody is willing let me know. Thank you for your time everyone goodbye.

Well, if you can't get people that at least trust you somewhat to give you a loan, you won't get one here.
458  Economy / Lending / Re: Need $1.50 Paypal short term loan on: July 23, 2014, 12:31:28 AM
OK, so you need a loan. Why do you need it, how much are you paying back, and when will you pay back? How can we be assured that you won't take the money and run?

Hello and welcome! You will be a member when your activity score reaches 60. It's calculated by taking the minimum of your post count, and the number of 2-week period you've been active in * 14. So, spend some time (up to 2 weeks, depending on when the timer rolls over) active here, and you'll get bumped up to a member.
