grue speaks the truth. It's all about expected values, and prop expected value is always higher than pps.

Allow bitcoin to export wallet file with encryption.

Question: Can we use the built-in Bitcoin public-private key infrastructure.  And use a Elliptic curve encryption?

"Elliptic curve encryption" don't allows encrypt anything. It is may be used only for signs.

care to elaborate?
ecc can be used with every algorithm of which security depends on discrete logarithm being difficult. This can be either for encryption or signing.

@OP: why not use symmetric encryption instead? Public-private key cryptography doesn't make any sense in this situation.

a proposal to make deepbit just a little more interesting Smiley
a fee to the one that finds a block of 5% or 10% and the rest of the block to go to the other co-miners?

In the long run this doesn't really matter, it would only increase the deviation, and this is exactly why we mine in a pool, to keep it down.

So there are about a million Americans who want to play poker right now and can't. It would be a good time to open a nice Bitcoin poker room.

If some developer with experience making things happen needs a little capital, let me know.
we're in the process of assembling a team that would/will make this happen.

3) If you were extremely wealthy, would you prefer storing your bitcoins in a single address or spread it out evenly over 100 addresses, making it 100 times more likely for a collision to happen but only being able to lose 1% of your wealth at a time?
even if that happened you would not lose any coins, as I understand it.

It should be pretty obvious that it was a joke, even if slush hadn't included the smiley.
ah well, now that I look back at it that makes sense Cheesy sorry about that.

Looks like your pool forgot switch to higher difficulty Wink.
btc/share went down as soon as the difficulty changed, so I'll say that's not the case.
"BTC per share" is only for PPS mode.
yeah I know, but that obviously means your pool took the new difficulty in account, doesn't it?

I keep getting "not talking to master and retries used up". Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I'm deploying second server, so short interrupts are possible. Don't worry, it will be fine shortly.
Ok thanks.
