How come the difficulty has never risen beyond 4096
It's been that way for almost 3 months.
502  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [POOL] Solo Mining Pool on: June 28, 2014, 12:03:18 AM
please explain why
under your system if others find a block then I don't get anything, so why whould I have better luck mining with your service compared to solo? just because you emit good luck or is there a more verifiable explanation?
I smell bs...

I'm probably feeding a troll...anyway:

This should provide the best possible explanation of what "luck" is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luck

If you believe in it, then the best analogy I can offer is:
1 BE100 chip in a USB miner vs. 32 BE100 chips in a ASICMiner Blade.

If you don't believe in luck then the above won't mean anything to you, and solo mining is probably not your thing.  And (I would assume) neither is gambling or the Lottery.

Bitcoin added.  Point your old block erupters, cubes, blades, Antminers, etc to this pool and play the "lottery".  Set it and forget it.  Then maybe you'll wake up one day to a nice little surprise in your Bitcoin wallet.   Wink

When the pool get's enough hash, someone will win the lottery every once in a while.

I'll add merge mining support as soon as I can figure out how to do that and add the relevant code to my mining pool server.

504  Bitcoin / Pools / [New] Bitcoin Solo Mining Pool on: June 27, 2014, 11:42:03 AM
Bitcoin Solo Mining Pool
96% Block Reward (4% fee)

Connect to this mining pool using your wallet address as the username to "solo mine" for the block reward + transaction fees, minus a small percentage (currently 4%) to cover costs.  There is no registration required to use the pool.  Should you happen to find a block, payments are made automatically to your Bitcoin address.

This is a great way to utilize older hardware for playing the "lottery".  Just set and forget.  Then perhaps one day you'll find a nice little surprise in your wallet.  Grin

The system is still under constant development and improvements are always being added.  Currently you can view global and personal stats.
Shares are used only for collecting stats and the difficulty is set to VARDIFF.   Shares have no effect on your earnings.

TekCoin
Joulecoin
Bonuscoin

Bitcoin is next.

Don't post fake news.  You guys really should know better than that.  Wink
507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [POOL] Solo Mining Pool on: June 23, 2014, 08:36:05 PM
A fair fee would be 24 to 24.5 to block finder the rest to pool operator. Yes, that would include transaction fees to pool.

If I believed in the pool operator.  Ie that he would pay my 24 btc.  I would love to shoot 17 to 110gh at the btc pool.

That is yet to be started.   So a 1 coin fee or 4% is worth it. If I thought I would get paid.

I have pushed for someone to start a btc solo pool .  I have been frustrated in getting a pool op that has a good rep to do it.

Several miners enjoy mining at my pools and I can assure you will get paid if you happen to find a block.  Look over some stats on a few of the pools.
508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [POOL] Solo Mining Pool on: June 23, 2014, 08:31:20 PM
1BTC sounds reasonable. 

I'm putting in a few more blades in the next few days.  So I can spin up some more VM's to add more pools.  Bitcoin will be one of them.

Thanks.
509  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [POOL] Solo Mining Pool on: June 23, 2014, 07:01:09 PM
If I where to add a Bitcoin solo pool, what would be a fair fee?

50%
15%
5%
510  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: ANN: BITMAIN has Tested Its 28nm Bitcoin Mining Chip BM1382 on: June 23, 2014, 06:47:12 PM

well the chip needs to be underclocked a lot to be a usb device.  

BTW  it is a good idea if someone was to offer a legit solo mining pool.  

A U3 with 2.5 watts  used to do 6gh    marketed as a btc lottery ticket  would sell.  I would want it if there was a solo pool set up by a real pool op.

Unfortunately no pool op  with a stellar rep has offered a solo option.

 Most people   do not realize that a lottery ticket on a 3 digit number that pays at 1100 or 1200 to one is not gambling  it is investing.

The same people that compare solo mining to lottery tickets don't realize the favorability of solo mining over a government 3 or 4 digit ticket.

I offer solo mining, not Bitcoin at the moment, but other SHA256 coins.

511  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Black Arrow 28nm 100Ghash Bitcoin ASIC from $1.99/GH/s, miners from $2.97/GH/s on: June 23, 2014, 03:59:51 PM
I like how BA hasn't bothered to lower the price of their miners even as other manufacturers drop their prices and release new miners. $373 for 100gh was barely a good deal back in December. I sense it's just another way of them manipulating their compensation. I just can't see anyone buying those in the last month thinking it's a good deal. Maybe that's why they don't want to talk compensation, they probably haven't had any more money roll in since they got people to pre-order their compensation power supplies.

No money coming in means no money to build compensation units. If they lower the price to get more people to buy in then their compensation numbers go up even higher as they promised to send extra hashing power if they lowered the price.

Yes, I have been saving my 0.012 BTC income per day since December thinking that sometime in February I would be able to buy one or two.  I now have plenty to buy 3 or 4 at it's current price, but I'm not going to spend it on this.  If they don't drop the price (or the S3 is overpriced) I might instead continue saving until the Fall when Bitcoin is $2000+ USD and when the 100 TH stuff comes out.  Grin

Can anyone tell me why this coin so expensive compare outstanding to other coins?

outstanding:160569853 price 3000 sat? so why ppl holding those coins?

I'm new just don't get it .


It's actually very undervalued.
Mining phase is over.
Now in the inflationary phase (1 ZET block reward).
160 Million ZET is not much.

Start saving for your S4 if your a S2 fan

I'm saving my Bitcoins for whatever comes out in Nov-Dec when 1 BTC = $2000 USD.

Is this coin gonna die one day? Smiley

Why do you ask?
Do you have something to gain by Zetacoin dying?

Mintpal is going to remove this coin on 17th june

That's a shame, SUNCoin is the way I discovered MintPal and really the only reason why I go to MintPal.
Let's try and get this listed on https://xnigma.com/
517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZET] Zetacoin - SHA256 coin - Quick confirmations on: June 08, 2014, 05:37:15 AM
Im buying too, i think it will go to .00005 easily.. and now that most coins are topped or sink, this is one of the few good investment right now

This guy thinks it will go much higher than that:

The zetacoin android wallet is bad. It will always connect to the Internet even if I disconnect it. It eats my phone traffic without my permission. So maybe I have to identify it as spamware.

And the FreeBSD daemon has a strange problem. When I copy the wallet.dat to several different machines and run, all machines will generate an extra same address. I don't like this extra address, because I only want one address in my wallet.dat. Otherwise, why are the extra addresses the same? I guess they have been calculated by the same algorithm pattern? So maybe the source code has been hacked by bad guy?

What FreeBSD is?


It's an operating system
http://freebsd.org

Netflix and Yahoo use it.

I'm the maintainer of that port.
Can you PM me to explain what's happening?  I don't understand what you mean.


1. Start the zetacoind, so it has an address: ABC.
2. zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has only one address: ABC
3. Then backup wallet.dat to initial-wallet.dat
4. Send some coins to ABC,
5. zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has only one address: ABC.
6. After a while, zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has another address: PDQ
7. Stop zetacoind, delete wallet.dat,
8. copy initial-wallet.dat to /var/db/zetacoin/wallet.dat
9. Start zetacoind, zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has one address: ABC,
10. But after finishing synchronizing data, zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has address: PDQ too.
11. Copy initial-wallet.dat to another computer's /var/db/zetacoin/wallet.dat, and start zetacoind, zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has only one address ABC, but after finishing synchronization, zetacoind getaddressesbyaccount "" shows it has the same address PDQ.
12. But when I copy initial-wallet.dat to a windows computer, it always shows only one address: ABC.

Do I meet a ghost?


I believe what you are describing is the expected behavior since you are copying the entire wallet.dat file.  The addresses are already "pre-generated".  This is what Bitcoin refers to as the keypool: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Key_pool

Though that would not explain what your seeing on Windows.
I will look into this further.  Zetacoin has some quirks and this could be another.

Do you mean when the wallet.dat is generated at the first time, some addresses are "pre-generated"?

Correct.  These three pages should explain how the keypool works and the purpose of it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1414.0
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/14069/key-pool-in-wallet-softwares
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5487/once-a-wallet-file-is-initially-created-does-the-reference-client-generate-addi

Basically it allows for safer backups.
