562  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the nodes the wallet is connecting? on: May 04, 2014, 08:02:13 PM
here's the relevant snippet from wiki -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking), pretty much sums it up i suppose:

Distributed system nodes
If the network in question is a distributed system, the nodes are clients, servers or peers. A peer may sometimes serve as client, sometimes server. In a peer-to-peer or overlay network, nodes that actively route data for the other networked devices as well as themselves are called supernodes.

Distributed systems may sometimes use virtual nodes so that the system is not oblivious to the heterogeneity of the nodes. This issue is addressed with special algorithms, like consistent hashing, as it is the case in Amazon's.

Did you remove the .git folder?  I'm pretty sure that's where it gets the version info from.  I used to run p2pool from ramfs & I did a cp -R doge.p2pool doge.p2pool.ramdisk or w/e, so it missed the .git folder & labeled my server as 'unknown'.

From my experiences w/ VPS/KVM & dedicated servers, China has a "decent" internal network, but "international" bandwidth costs an arm and a leg, outbound especially.

People that want good connectivity w/ mainland China usually end up with a host in Taiwan (heh heh), Singapore, South Korea, or Japan (which as far as I've seen is by far the cheapest, bandwidth wise).  Don't *ever* get a shared port, good luck getting any decent international speeds with that...

For US, in some cases Seattle is faster than Cali... see: China Unicom... though mostly it just gets routed through san jose still..

.009BTC per MH.... BTC at $430.  Just call it $4 for a day of one MH.  Amazon EC2 gpu instances are dirt cheap now, every once in a while someone will come in and clean everyone out but 7 cents per hour should get you about 23 out of 24 hours on one of the linux g2.2xlarge instances.  Ireland is the most stable but it costs a cent or two more than Virginia... so even though you'll get a few random kicks off of Virginia, Amazon doesn't charge you partial hours if you get kicked off, only if you terminate yourself.  

If your Spot instance is interrupted by Amazon EC2, you will not be charged for any partial hour of usage. For example, if your Spot instance is interrupted 59 minutes after it starts, we will not charge you for that 59 minutes. However, if you terminate your instance, you will pay for any partial hour of usage as you would for On-Demand Instances.

Swell, huh?  There could be some collaboration going on, maybe that's the cause for some of the random hikes??   In any case, except for two of those spikes up to 65c or so, you could have had 24hrs on US-East-1B for an average of about 6.7 cents (the GPU instances for the most part sit right around their minimum spot prices nowadays).

Anyway, that's ~290khash using the GPU & CPU for scrypt, or ~23.1c per hour for 1mhash.  Total comes to $5.54 for 1mhash/day.

to sum it up;

Congrats, ye have bested Amazon EC2 prices.  The last time I saw someone renting out scrypt it was like double the cost of what you could do on amazon.  

Though I'm not sure as to what one could actually mine at that rate to make a profit on..  maybe for testing purposes?

Yes. He was quite clear.
Well, we had to get an PM from stunna...did anyone get it?

I didn't.  I think the old one looks better (for senior or hero member anyway) myself... but if it's for 'signature spam' purposes, I guess the newer one is less obnoxious  Grin

I checked this, and among the top IPs there's a swiss guy who runs Satoshi client version 0.9.99  Shocked
Is he just having fun with the source code,  Or is 1.0 in the works and he's testing it?
(another option: he's from the future)

0.9.99 is just the latest git build @ https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin ....  I guess you'd call it a 'beta' version, so it has the different version #

everything you see here after commit fa2b42533a367e756c6df25168f6cac63536dbc2 (i think... apr 9 + for sure) on April 8th is stuff that isn't in the "official" bitcoin client yet

set the cache to 10MB (and not 100MB).

he's uploading to other ppl, how would changing the cache work?

if you need to decrease your upstream being used, use something like netlimiter or drop your # of connections

Is this expected?  It seems like a lot.  Does anyone have any thoughts or comments?

Best,
Tony



That's nothing abnormal.  You just had some people that needed the blockchain connected to you..

When I ran my node with 700'ish connections, bitcoin used up about 2.5TB upstream a month (I was also appearing on the dns seed list though, so lots of new users)

if you've had your node up for a long time, then that could possibly be the cause, re: rotating into the seed list

ed:   see how high up you are on http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/seeds.txt , i'm not sure of the exact criteria it uses on the dns seed list, but I'm pretty sure it rotates nodes in and out & maybe the top 10% or so?
570  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows on: April 28, 2014, 10:32:01 PM
Ok.  I'm officially stuck again.   Daemon compiled. Tested and working! yay! (ty) Now the Qt.
Working with 0.6.3 coin ( i know i really shouldnt =) But ive started and made it this far... Also best way to learn i think. So hope ull bear with me for little while longer....   Also studied up on litecoin-qt.pro posted here  :  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.msg5568805#msg5568805

So im pretty sure my problem is not there. whenever i try to build qt. (using 4.8.5) it stops at the *.o files.
Code:
g32 -lQtCore -lole32 -luuid -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32
./build\bitcoingui.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Tried many different things. Including just plain copying the required o-file from a similar build. And then it accepts it. And goes to the next error :
Code:
g32 -lQtCore -lole32 -luuid -lws2_32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lkernel32
./build\optionsdialog.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Untill i run out of *.o files to copy.... (and plain copying is ofc not a solution, but helps me as means to an end to narrowing down the problem)

So is my build corrupted somehow? (daemon works) Is my Qt incompatible? Is there any way to get Qt/mingw32-make to tell me in more detail exactly what error's it encountered? Any info on how to proceed, or in witch direction to look would be much appreciated.

first off, what's up with ./build\optionsdialog.o?  i've never compiled anything in windows, so i dunno if it's supposed to look like that or not.  but shouldn't it be .\build\optionsdialog.o?

./build\whatever in a normal windows environment wouldn't work (ed: well, ./xxx would work, but it wouldn't work for a directory change, as in ./xxx\xxx)

fixed the damn slashes

Next time just do, sudo updatedb, locate bitcoin-qt

If you have a newer version and it's running an older version, the older version is probably in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, or some other variation.
572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Cryptsy now offering shares in mining contracts. MN1. Question on: April 28, 2014, 09:52:17 PM
So MN2 shares are now out, at 0.18, can we assume this caused the MN1 contracts to lose value?

Way too many MN2.  Pulled out all the available cash from the people that don't know any better.  I noticed they even started trading on it before all the initial allotment was sold (lol).  gg cryptsy.

... but, people shouldn't compare the price on these to cex.io.  cex.io charges a maintenance fee which is a bit extravagant:  https://cex.io/maintenance

No maintenance fee on the Cryptsy shares, though I have my doubts about this "lifetime" contract lasting for more than a year.  Cryptsy got their hashpower from ghash.io, at some discount.... but ghash.io won't want to keep providing that indefinitely obv..  Better hope they're working on more efficient & faster ASICs, I guess.... else the maintenance fee will be 100% in less than 1/2 a year..

... but at any rate, when comparing prices vis-a-vis cex.io, the cryptsy shares are about 25% more valuable due to the lack of maintenance fee.  well, unless they're deducting that from the bitcoins they distribute.  wouldnt surprise me.
573  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt asic - in stock ? on: April 28, 2014, 09:41:16 PM
It's going to be just like bitcoin, the ASICs will always be overpriced.  If they were priced as to where you could make a profit, then whoever developed them would be using them instead.

Just look at how much people pay for a ghash on cex.io.  Even at .007, the only way you'd profit from that is by getting an even bigger sucker to pay more for it.  The maintenance fee is 30% (or maybe more now) & difficulty is increasing around 20% every 12 days (about 55% a month).  It'd need to be at something like .0025 for you to have a reasonable chance to profit... mine with it for 3 months then sell it to someone else for around .0005.  Come out up a couple of tens, I guess.

ed: The only ASICs that have been profitable w/o taking reselling into account are Avalon batches 1 and 2...
574  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU Tempurature. How hot is too hot? on: April 28, 2014, 09:26:12 PM
Uh... 45oC is about the temp my cards idle at w/ 100oF ambient or so.

I only run them up to 80oC max, most are around 70oC, by making liberal use of undervolting....  re: my 7970 can get close to 800khash at "optimum" settings, but I run it at 940 core 1200 memory & can drop the voltage to 1.00, it's showing max temp of 79oC in Afterburner (after about 4 days), current temp is 71oC.  Same deal with these old 5830's, I could get close to 300khash but I get 230khash instead, running at 720 core 680 memory, at 1.063v instead of 1.163v.

I wouldn't feel comfortable having them at 90oC for a sustained period of time, even though they're rated up to 100oC.  80-85 or so would be my tops..

577  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: P2pool Problem on: April 28, 2014, 01:30:14 PM
im sorry for you Sad, maybe you should think about joining a pplns pool

Reading about PPLNS now. thx. Smiley

DOH, forgot standard pools are PPLNS. I sent my 2M rig back to my old teamdoge pool and I'm making coin again.

weird thing is the one I left on P2pool (420k) Is now doing 300 coins. Jesus this shit is friggin insane.


ZVS, why is colonel sanders Payout graph blank? Also you should change the line from the mean pointing to the graph to another color as it looks like it's part of the graph.

Hmm, it shouldn't be blank, unless I'm getting 0 payouts.

It's probably still loading, I think it loads in the individual graphs last... Try this:

http://seattle.nogleg.com:9555/static/graphs.html?Week

Less people so easier to see....  that's where I'm mining now, to see if the (presumed) less DOA I'll get will be offset by the (presumed) more orphans that the pool will have..

Oh, you can see my DOA on there is around 3% vs 6% or so on nogleg.com in Germany...  Makes sense, since it's 90ms vs 200ms or so...  so to be better, it'd have to stay below a 14% orphan rate or so.
578  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Does a pool exist that will give a full bitcoin to finder on: April 28, 2014, 01:25:48 PM
Would be nice to have a pool like this... Gives incentive to some smaller miners Smiley

Small miners would just end up making even less because the pool would HAVE to have a higher overall fee in order to pay a reward for block finding.  Small miners aren't expected to find a block *in their lifetime* these days.  The chances of them ever seeing the bonus BTC reward is quite small, but they will be paying higher fees as a result of that potential bonus.

On average though you'd end up earning the same. The effect of the 5% finders fee would just be larger variance - like the 0.5% paid to the block finder on p2pool.



You'd think so, but that's not true because of the increasing difficulty.  i.e. If I put 100ghash to work solo mining (and from here on I'm just going to spit out numbers since I'm not going to do the actual math), then I'd have, say, a 99.99% chance of not finding a block... but then the difficulty level increases, so then it'd be 99.992% chance, and so on.

Just think of all the people that would have 0 bitcoins after a year... you'd really have to have some serious hashing power to even make this a worthwhile gamble (because that's what it is).

ed: this is a theoretical case of solo mining.  but it also would apply to a pool with a block finder's reward
