How about 3 threads.

1) Flag creator moderated
2) Accused moderated
3) Both unmoderated

But here is the catch they are all in a separate part of the forum that can only be reached by clicking on links in the flag.
You can't just wander into it, you have to click to it from the flag. The links and threads for all 4 would be created when the flag is made. The creator of the flag can moderate 1 thread the accused can moderate the other the other. BUT before anyone could post in the unmoderated one the creator / accused must post 1st.

I'm tired and about to go to bed, but it does seem logical to me at the moment.
It would keep everything neat and in one section that you would probably have a reason to go to instead of just wandering over to and posting.

6142  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Live - Cannot fully customize fees for Eth and ERC-20 tokens on: October 14, 2019, 01:44:16 AM

There must be some reason, they can't be so lazy lol

It looks so easy just to make a button "Customize your fee" , a new text box opens and you can put the number you want.

Every time you add a function you risk causing other issues.
Tried to set a custom fee and accidentally added 1 full ETH as a fee?
Wanted to do 10 because the network was contested and accidentally put 100 or 1?

As said above them not giving you control just makes their lives easier.

There have been and probably still are a few wallets, that although they do give you control of the fee, you have to dig so far into the menus, that it's easier to go get a job, fund your college education, get a better job, earn some more money, get the cash, and deliver it to whoever you were sending the crypto to, then to find where to change the fee settings.

6143  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Piper Wallet v2 and possible remake of v1 on: October 14, 2019, 12:00:03 AM
Hey Dave, for the record though, it has been discussed here,

[ANN] Piper - A hardware-based paper wallet printer and so much more

Piper: The Raspberry Pi Paper Wallet Printer is now taking orders!

What do you think about Piper Wallet?

Piper Paper Wallet - Why are there no replies???

But if you are going to read most of the replies, almost everyone find it pretty expensive. Anyways, good luck with your experiment, if that's what you're trying to accomplished here.  Grin


The v1 was discussed here. Didn't see a peep about the attempted v2 / kick starter.
As others have said it's way overpriced for what is was, and what I am attempting to put together is going to cost me more then a cheap laptop with a boot CD with bitaddress along with a old printer.

I just think it was a cool thing and want to replicate it.

6144  Other / Meta / Re: Fake conversation by hundred plus newbie accounts. on: October 13, 2019, 07:21:52 PM
Most of the users that have posted there have already been banned, but the posts remain.

Why? I would think it would be better to trash their posts too. Just my view, but it would make the thread more empty which is kind of the point in preventing spam.
At least in my opinion.

I'd like to think that any legitimate service would avoid doing this themselves or hiring someone to do it for them.

Do you also believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the tooth fairy?
Seriously, people are going to try every trick in the book to get their thread bumped and due to the amount of crap in those boards they try everything they can think of to move their posts up. Otherwise even the best project is going to get buried.


Non-publicity of data
For now, I am intentionally not making it public who bumped each topic, since that way you can't prove that you bumped anything, and this may prevent people from selling their bumps as easily. I don't particularly object to making the approximate bump scores or bump powers public, but I didn't do this yet.

I would like to say I am very surprised that nobody of the higher posts / ranks has gotten PMs about I'll give you "X" BTC to post in / bump my thread.
That or if they did nobody has discussed it in the open.
[Note for people who need a bumping I can be bought...2BTC and I'll hit bump for you....just kidding....or am I?]

I know theymos has and I assume other mods have the data as to who hit bump, would be interesting to see. I know I did on one altcoin project that I like.

Just spent more time here then I really want to admit. It's just such a simple fun game.
I had forgotten about it, when this post got bumped a few weeks ago I came back.
Keep up the good work.

And see if you can get your app in the play store instead of having to do the sideload.

6146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Casinos Have the Lowest House Edge? on: October 13, 2019, 02:04:57 PM
Not dice BUT many casinos have 9/6 jacks or better video poker.
Played with a simple strategy it has a 0.54% house edge.

https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/strategy/jacks-or-better/9-6/simple/

There are other strategies that can get you a little more but they take a lot of time to learn.

For dice yeah Crypto-games is lowest as far as well known places.

6147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Raspberry Pi 4 performance on: October 13, 2019, 12:28:19 PM
I'm going to wipe and start again, but I was wondering if it was just me.

I would look for any changes made to the

  • linux kernel image
  • linux firmware
  • startup config (so, /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt)


...relating to this latest update to Raspian, that's where any potential problems may have crept in. roll back to the old version to see if you can confirm the issue, then report that online (raspberry forums are best IMO for that)

I did ask in the forums, but it rapidly turned into a "must be you, can't be us" thing. Which I do accept as yes it might be my hardware, my config or something else but was looking to see if anyone else was having the issue. There are scattered reports of people seeing the same issue but not a lot so it's not just me. Made me wonder if other people were having the same issue and just did not notice. Only reason I did was that I was moving a large file and I saw the speed being less then what it was. Has it not taken 1 hour on Monday and 1 hour 12 minutes on Friday I would have never seen it.


these Pi-style computing boards are really not designed to be always-on servers, so getting them to work that way takes some additional effort. It can be done though.

Not sure where you got that idea from. Yeah, if you are putting them in a always running at max CPU / RAM you need additional cooling on the chips and possibly some other small changes. But for small embedded machines they are perfect. I have the following running:

1) Asterisk PBX since summer 2014 (probably should replace the SD card but it really juts boots it most stuff runs from the USB drive)
2) 2nd DB server for door control since about the same time probably later summer 2014. Could be off for all the use it gets, but rules say you need 2 DB servers.
3) The Pi-Hole & open VPN server was up from 2015 until I got my 1st RPi4 and wanted to play with it. It's actually the one running now as I wipe / re-create the one I am asking about
4) My torrent server on a RPi 3 from winter 2016/17

there's another possibility: wipe an SD card too many times (or write too much to it in general) and you'll begin to increase unreliable behavior from the card, it's low quality flash memory that deteriorates quickly.

Agreed, when diagnosing issues with RPi it's usually this or an under powered power supply.
It's amazing how many people spend real money on cases and other things for their stuff and then go for the $1.99 power supply and SD card.

Has anyone been having any issues with performance with the September 26 image?
I wiped both of mine for different reasons and downloaded the newest one and although I can't give any hard and fast numbers it just feels like there was a performance hit.
I am wondering if they did something to help with the heat issue.

No help on the RPi forums so I figured I would ask here.

Thanks,
Dave

What kind of performance issue you're talking about? Very recently i bought Raspberry Pi 4, install Raspbian OS and perform all update (including sudo rpi-update) and i don't experience any performance problem.

I have one running as a pi-hole and open VPN server.
There is a definite slowdown with it, it's not a "real" number for the pi-hole in the fact that it went from .26 seconds to .4 for a lookup it's still a 50% increase.
* The .26 number was from a test a while ago and the .4 is from today so I can't say when that slowdown happened.

The open VPN has dropped max throughput ~10% from Tuesday, that is where I really noticed it.

I'm going to wipe and start again, but I was wondering if it was just me.

Is there a difference between running setgenerate true 4 in the console of the wallet and running the CPU cheetah miner?
It looks like there is but before I do install & run it I want to be sure.

6150  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB on: October 12, 2019, 03:01:44 PM
Fixed.  A drive failure on the full node machine for the pool ended up causing degradation that dropped the array to read-only mode for recovery safety.

Cool. Thanks for fixing it. I know you are stressed and busy with life but, you might want to put up a basic stats page even if only does a refresh once an hour or something.
Just the basic, time & date of update / node is on this block / this much hashrate

This way we at least know what the pool thinks and if there is an issue it does not linger for a week.

Seriously, I had you as a backup pool and when my router blew and I replaced it my miners did not fail back. I have had this before and all I have to do is reboot my proxy.
But I was busy so I didn't do it for a while because "what the heck eligius might find a block"

So all I did was burn electricity for no reason.....

And before everyone says it, yeah I know I should fail to a PPS pool that way I don't have to worry about ramp up or down or any other thing. I get paid for the shares and move back to the main pool whenever. I have mined at eligius for years and figured what the heck, lets keep it as a backup.

Since I do use yobit and I saw this thread I went in and took a look.
But it looks to be 94 hours (4 days) till the next race. Makes you wonder how many people are actually playing if it's that long between rounds.

I might drop a little coin at some point in time, but it's not going to be any real gambling due to the time involved.
I am more of a get in...play...get out...person.

6153  Economy / Services / Re: HelP Me Buy A Specific Jumpstarter from ebay.it on: October 12, 2019, 12:15:48 PM
2 quick thoughts

1) You might be better off posting here on the Currency exchange board to get payal for your BTC and they buy it yourself:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

If I change my address to ship it shows up as an unverified address since there would be no way to link my account to that address. A lot of eBay sellers will not ship to an unverified address. (I will not)

2) If you don't want to post the item itself at least post how much it is. There is a difference between a .05BTC deal and a .0025BTC and different people will be interested.

6154  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟Bits.game 🌟 ⭐ New "PvP" Jackpot Lottery game ⭐ on: October 12, 2019, 11:24:56 AM
Yeah, it's been close to 18 hours.
I was in game 1621 that had an End Time of:2019-10-11 19:49:19 according to your site

I then played 1622 just after that. Nobody else yet.

This is a problem. Need the bot, or at least send an email to users saying that there is a game pending.

-Dave
6155  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🌟Bits.game 🌟 ⭐ New "PvP" Jackpot Lottery game ⭐ on: October 11, 2019, 04:52:30 PM
3 hours later and still nobody.
You really need to either get the bot back or start some sort of campaign to get more people here to play.
Just my view as with all things YMMV.

Expect a post here every now and then.
For today's excitement. The box came in with the parts.
Nothing else to report.

My bet is in. No bots, no other players.
And yes I am playing with ETH.
Just sitting and waiting.

Luke can you ping out to WK again?

I really think it's time to call it quits on this. I'm pulling eligius out of my backup pool rotation.

Not sure if this should be discussed here or in the Development & Technical Discussion board or some other board.

According to your write up, the blips when a block is found are somewhat of a giveaway to the fact that you are running a node. You also state that generating enough other traffic will shield you.

Now assuming you didn't throw a flag when doing your initial 200+GB sync do you feel normal bittorrent traffic would be enough to shield you?
