Omg, I haven't had those potato and onion pancakes in years! Where did you find that, or do you have a recipe?
There's this thing called the internet. Perhaps you've heard of it. I even know how to make kugelis. Oops! Wrong thread, again. Did you here about this thing called the internet, and do you know how to make kugelis like I do? Did you know that in order to search for something on the internet, you need to know what that something is called? |

Also, http://www.anthrocon.org/charity and http://hellobully.com/Also just sent this: Hi Nicole. I was wondering what your organization does with donated funds. From the overview I got from your website it looks as if your organization depends more on actual volunteers and education campaigns rather than just monetary donations. Could you please give me a brief overview of how donated funds are spent and how they help? Thank you very much! -- Dmitry Also, I think that year's theme was prehistoric... stuff... thus the guy dressed like a caveman, with a wheel "invention" in the front. Also, fursuits are about 10% of the fandom, and frankly freak me out Most other fans are into it for the same reason Anime fans are into it: art style and community around it (and porn). |

Only issues I got from them were "excessive data usage." 250gig a month limits suck.
If you're using Windows, Start > Applications > System Tools > Resource Monitor lets you track all network activity on your computer at process and individual connections level. Figured that out when trying to track down what was using up 10 gigs of data a day. (Turned out to be java.exe... for no reason... AVG and Mallwarebytes didn't find anything, so I just force close it with task manager on boot)

I was actually wondering whether it is possible for each P2Pool instance to adjust its own difficulty, so that both weak miners and strong miners took 10 seconds to solve a block. Essentially have each P2Pool server dynamically adjusts the difficulty for its own miners only, as opposed to having one difficulty for the overall pool. The payout would then be (total number of shares submitted) * (hash rate). Since total number of blocks submitted will be, on average, the same for both large miners and small ones (difference only depending on amount of time they were running), the payout will essentially be only dependent on the hash speed. This will require the chain to carry more data, but my main concern is that hackers could spoof their mining power to be way lower than it actually is, and then steal from everyone else by submitting way more than one share every 10 seconds. I realize this sort of defeats the purpose of a "verifiable chain," too... |

Does anyone know how to setup cgminer for solo mining.
Add RPC password, login, and port number to bitcoin.conf configuration file, then launch either Bitcoin client or bitcoind, then run cgminer pointing it to 127.0.0.1 or localhost, instead of a pool, then wait a few months and hope you get lucky. |

Actually, my sneaky idea was to get whatever is the next charity to be sponsored by AnthroCon to accept Bitcoin. Once they do, I can post that fact to a whole bunch of furry mailing lists. AnthroCon, a furry convention in Pittsburgh PA, is attended by 3,000 to 5,000 people from around the world, and every year the charity they pick raises $1,000 to $3,000. Usually these are small, at times local, charities. The other added benefit is having a legitimate reason for exposing the furry community to Bitcoin (instead of "Hey gais, look at this!" it'll be "Hey gais! These guys take Bitcoin too!"). The furry fandom is in desperate need for something like Bitcoin. Although porn is not the main aspect of the fandom, it is still a fairly large part, and because PayPal and other payment processors have strict anti-porn rules, they have actually shut down accounts and seized commission funds of some artists (which sucks when art commissions are their main source of income), and seized donation and subscription funds from art websites that also happen to host porn (these sites allow artists to upload their own art, and don't censor or discriminate against the content). These websites and artists are struggling to find methods to get paid for commissions or subscriptions. Some are using the Square VISA thingy, and some have even tried using Second Life Linden, but both methods have very high fees. Maybe with enough of a donation, we can get the charity to actually advertise that they take Bitcoin as one of their payment methods when they come to the convention (they usually get a table in a very prominant spot, where they display their charity info and accept donations in person).

We've all just seen the "take everyone's money and disappear without telling anyone" thing go down here too many times, Matthew, that's all. When you disappeared without making note of it on bitcointalk, and no one bothered to defend you until the last minute (except Phinnaeus, who no one knew if he was joking or not), it started freaking people out. A quick note that you were going on vaca probably would have avoided all of it.
Hindsight is 20/20. Now that Mihai has the blog on the site up, crap like this won't happen anymore I suppose. Does it tell us when you're sleeping? What if you have a prolonged stay in the restroom - will the blog be updated to prevent future panics? Vicente told me I should get a streaming webcam for my study, but I have way too much sex in my house to let that happen. So charge for access? I thought you were a man of business!  +1000  |

Lol. What a fail parade. Can't I take a business trip on the weekend without everyone getting their panties in a bunch?
What you need to do is, EVERY time you go on vacation, take all the Bitcoin magazine sites offline. After a while we'll get used to it, and it'll change from "OMG MATTHEW RAN OFF WITH ALL OUR MONEY!" to "OMG MATTHEW IS ON VACATION!" Honestly, though, I just thought you got banned for a few days again  |

The limitation of Bitcoin is that the block chain is only aware of the total hashing power, not individual miners, and thus can only adjust accordingly. P2Pool protocol chain is sort, and is easy to change, and each instance of P2Pool is aware of both the pool hashing power and each instance's local hashing power.
Would it be possible to just change the algorithm from adjusting difficulty to make a pool block every ten seconds based on overall pool hashing power, to one that bases it on the fraction of your hashing power compared to the overall pool? Have the difficulty start out at average, and as you mine, every thirty minutes recalculate your local difficulty based on reported hashing power, so that strong miners get increased difficulty and fewer shares and weak miners get more?
Or is this too difficult due to all blocks in the chain needing to be the same, or risky due to being easily hacked?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but p2pool is a pool, not solo mining. What am I missing?
P2Pool is solo mining, against your own instance of bitcoind, generating to your own wallet/address, but with shared rewards and lower variance. That's the best way to describe it. |

Should we focus exclusively on large global charities, or would local ones be acceptable? Things like Ferret Rescue located in Pennsylvania, or an animal shelter or Girl Scout group in some particular state for example. It would be much easier to get them to accept, but the downside is that exposure would be much more limited.
Thoughts?
