in reference to the R606 - can anyone assist? and @sidehack if you can also offer input, it would be appreciated...

1) What are you using for power? The included brick or something off a PC power supply?

2) What else is the PC that you have it plugged into doing? Can you try a different PC and USB cable?

You said that the only solution you found was to power down the miner and restart it.
If you did not try it already can you pull the USB cable from the PC and reboot the PC, then plug the USB cable back in and restart.

The speed bouncing up and down just feels like a USB communications issue to me. Sidehack and others might have a better idea, but I have seen this with other USB based miners.

I also noticed my 606 did not like my office laptop for some reason, kept dropping to 0 same as yours. Once I used a new USB cable and plugged it into a different PC all the issues were gone.

Played here again for a while this AM. Good fun, amazing graphics, really liked it.
Putting it into my rotation of places to play at on a regular basis.

Clicked on the link for the summit later this month.
It looks to be more for owner / operators then players unless I am missing something.

Seriously, if you are having life issues at the moment I would let Eligius go.
It's sad and it sucks, but I'm sure you don't need more crap going on.
Do you really want to have to deal with a payout issue or a front end issue or.....whatever on top of whatever is going on in your life?
Mining has changed a lot over the last couple of years and will probably change again. You can always come back.

Don't add stress that you don't need.

Hope everything gets better with whatever is going on.

Are you looking to keep the coins or convert to fiat?
What is your average purchase amount?
Do you want to host it yourself or have someone else deal with it?

There is also https://www.coinpayments.net/

All have their good and bad points. But there is no one size fits all.

It's like asking what is the best car?
For what? Hauling your family around? Best gas mileage? Best handling?

Horrible news in motorsport world - F2 driver Anthoine Hubert died after crash during F2 race in Spa:
https://www.motorsport.com/fia-f2/news/hubert-spa-francorchamps-fatal-crash/4526124/
He was just 22 years old... Despite all these security improvements, this tragedy reminds us that motorsport is still very dangerous sport.
RIP, Anthoine Hubert...

I just saw this, I was deliberately avoiding all race news so I could watch a bunch of stuff I had on my DVR without knowing what happened earlier.
I started to watch and read some race sites and saw this Sad

But yeah, you are correct, no matter how much safety is improved its still dangerous.

6346  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: bash script to automate proccess of sending BTC to other addresses on: September 01, 2019, 01:16:21 PM
It's a bit of a cheat, BUT if you can format the text file the way bitcoin-cli wants it and start it with the bitcoin-cli command all you have to do then is run the file.

bitcoin-cli sendmany "" "{\"12345678ZZStgN5qWduEHyGrsSw72WEiTZ\":0.01,\"12345678ZZStgN5qWduEHyGrsSw72WEiTZ\":0.02}"

The other option is to send them as individual transactions:

bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "12345678ZZStgN5qWduEHyGrsSw72WEiT" 0.001
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "12345678ZZStgN5qWduEHyGrsSw72WEiT" 0.002
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress "12345678ZZStgN5qWduEHyGrsSw72WEiT" 0.003

It's a bit easier as you are not needing the \ and { and everything else.
just start each line with bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress  and add the address and the amount and run it.

-Dave


I'm taking another approach but your's is also an option as I might need to add different amounts to each address and also the change address!
But I'm already half way done to the first version. Then, to change to other format will be easier!

To send individual transactions will make more fees and if I can o it with a single transaction, fees will be less, right? The idea is also to be able to set several outputs into a single transaction to save in fees!

Fees are based on the size of the transaction (data size not BTC) which is usually based on the number of inputs, but many individual ones will most likely be more expensive to send.

I have used the method quoted above to do things for myself just because it is human readable.
I did all the processing in a DB, then dumped what I needed to text and ran a bitcoin-cli command against it.

It was a bit more programming work on my part, but I could look at a text file to see what happened instead of going through SQL logs trying to figure out what happened.
As you start to do more things the text file approach does become more labor YMMV.

And the obligatory, test it against testnet coins 1st or some alt-coin that costs almost nothing. So long as it's based off one of the newer core releases it should be fine. But if you mess something up your didn't loose real money.

Also, as a side note. If you get 1 domain. Call it bitciontalktrustlist.com or something. You can then point *.bitciontalktrustlist.com to it.
Then parse the text of the * and generate the page. It's a little more programming but you don't have to buy & track domains.

Another fun place to play.
I 1st played here the beginning of the summer and have bounced in and out of here a few times.
Simple, fun and a good place to kill some time.
The built in LTC / ETH / DOGE exchange is also nice.

I was, but this isn't running on there. My cheap VPS turned out to be unreliable, so I'm not using an old netbook there. Once everything works, I can easily move everything to another VPS.
100% OT here but what was unreliable about it?

I can spin something up if you need something to play with. You do enough good work on the forum that some CPU cycles on one of the boxes and drive space is not a big deal.

Still coming back here, even after their sig campaign ended.
Grab some doge from the faucet, kill some time, have some fun and leave.
Unless you are planning to make enough money to retire, ins't that why most of us play at casinos? Online or land based, it's entertainment and this site is entertaining.
Yeah, it's just a dice site but it's still fun to play and that's the point isn't it. Wolf makes it fun.

Yeah, KYC makes it a walk away for me too.
I know a lot of casinos are going to be doing it over time as more and more countries around the globe are forcing people to do it. But, so long are there are casinos that don't do KYC I really don't play in those that do.

As someone else mentioned above I don't see the provably fair link, but I didn't really look that hard.

6356  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Lightning decentralisation] Routing around hubs on: August 30, 2019, 04:11:43 PM
Dave, you're confusing "routing" and "payee"


All payees would be reachable, but hubs could be routed around in order to lessen their influence on the network (using your example, the only way one couldn't recieve money from an invoice issued to A would be if A only has open channels with hubs that B, C and D are routing around)

additionally, DONOT-route(hubA, hubB) could easily be PREFERENTIALLY-route-around(hubA, hubB)


this would be user controlled, opt-in. that is in no way contradicting the open nature of the network, it is intended to help reinforce openness



so you've misinterpreted the whole idea completely, unfortunately

And that is why I try not to post before coffee :-)

Seriously however, what BitCryptex said:

I don't think that it affects decentralisation in a positive way, but forcing someone to route payments is pointless and could be frustrating.

And what I said about more complicated programming logic are true.

Yes, you can argue that "don't use this node" is no more of a programming issue to route around then "this node is offline don't use it"
But as the network expands the more options you add the more things can not work as intended.

Using exactly what you said:


All payees would be reachable, but hubs could be routed around in order to lessen their influence on the network (using your example, the only way one couldn't recieve money from an invoice issued to A would be if A only has open channels with hubs that B, C and D are routing around)


Yeah, that's going to be a VERY VERY VERY rare case. Why give people the option to have it happen?

could the obverse be achieved by allowing clients to preferentially route through nodes with some definition of "fewer" channels?

I understand what you are saying that this in theory might help I just see it being gamed by people.
"Oh, people want to use nodes with fewer channels, cool, instead of having 1 big one with lots of channels I'll spin up a ton of smaller ones and charge a higher fee"

6357  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Lightning decentralisation] Routing around hubs on: August 30, 2019, 12:09:26 PM

  • could Lightning decentralisation be improved by giving node operators a "do not route" config option?
  • could the obverse be achieved by allowing clients to preferentially route through nodes with some definition of "fewer" channels?

trolls/trolling not tolerated

please post questions and/or answers


I would think that doing either of these could cause problems. It's supposed to be an "open" system.
If you start to allow this, then some big players can come in and start to determine where they want their BTC to go.
If Alice does not want to route to Bob, Chris or Dave but Carlton is ONLY routing to Bob, Chris and Dave. You never get BTC from Alice.

Working on no sleep, so I might be missing something but at 1st glance allowing what you said could cause that.
Yes it's a edge case, but if your node now has to route around this because you both DO talk to Steve, the programming logic just gets that much more complicated.

He did say he'd make a forum post soon... I'll remind him again.

I like the platform and the interface. As someone else said, very smooth, very easy to navigate.
Is there any possibility of adding motorsports? Formula 1, MotoGP, etc? I ask this of a lot of places. It's not as popular as some other things but motorsport betting does have a large following.

Thanks,
