To get into the Christmas spirit, I'll be giving away over 100,000 BALLS today through either regular answer rewards or Christmas bonuses! The winners will be selected from the top 10 scores in trivia on #MMXIV on Freenode at 11:59 PM, Central Time, or play right in the BALLS Qt for Windows or Mac! BALLS Christmas Bonus Rewards are as follows 1st Place: 50,000 BALLS
2nd Place: 20,000 BALLS
3rd Place: 10,000 BALLS
4th Place: 5,000 BALLS
5th Place: 4,000 BALLS
6th Place: 3,000 BALLS
7th Place: 2,000 BALLS
8th Place: 1,500 BALLS
9th Place: 1,000 BALLS
10th Place: 500 BALLS
These will be rewarded via tips in the IRC Tipbot, so make sure you register the nickname you use in chat. You will also still receive the regular BALLS reward for each question answered, which happens in real time. Bonus prizes will be on Christmas Day, with scores being recorded at 11:59 PM, Central Time

lol yeah just ignore the part where it installs a firewall without telling you.
It's used on a Pi usually so it's set up to be an all in one script. He said he had at least basic knowledge of Linux so I assumed he would read what a script does before running it. It's all VERY clearly labeled

@iGotSpots Is there a minimum value of stack size were it does not get split after staking ? What happens if multiple stacks are created on 1 address and 1 stack staked ? Are the other stacks left alone ?
Each stack is separately calculated. They only split if you stake at or near the 24 hour mark. If it takes 2 days to stake, it won't split. Splitting doesn't affect the total amount of coins. Instead of getting 1 stake for 2 coins, you would get 2 stakes for 1 coin each So lets see if I got it correct : Just like other POS coins a stack gets split in 50/50 but only when age is around 24 hrs, but not when age is 2 days or more. If user does not re-combine then you would end up with "dust". As is common, small stacks take more time to gain weight and because of that more time to stake. This applies for both, MMXIV and BALLS. Am I correct ? Is there any max reward or capping ? There is no cap

I sent 1 MMXIV to each address on the multipool to compensate for the downtime

You should look at the script I posted for the BALLS wallet on Raspberry Pi. It will walk you through all the steps and works on both ARM and desktops
Use it to see how it works and read it to see what it does

Pools should both be back up. I don't have any other details, sorry

Looked at OP, did not see multipool link ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) Directions please!

Stake BALLS and MMXIV. Thank me in a few months

Not sure on the pool, haven't talked to ThePeePs today
Exploring more features that can be included in the Yeti. There are still a few selling points to it that haven't been discussed, yet, but the progress on these is moving very, very quickly
For example, tonight I'm working on a new blocking system for ads that is built into the access point, rather than requiring each individual connection to have it set up locally

Added a Mac wallet to this build. Basically, we just added IRC to the client. Now you can play trivia from the QT and earn free BALLS for every correct answer!
Not only is this a great incentive to hang out with the 50 people already in the channel, but it also gives you guys a direct line of communication to both myself for BALLS and MMXIV, as well as ThePeePs, who runs and operates both multipools. Enjoy and good luck!ey ...
Hey mate, I don't think this is the right source ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I wanted to compile the wallet with the IRC on linux for myself - but it says it hasn't changed since the 80k fork. The source has not been updated with IRC, correct. I want to keep that off Github for our hardware pulls for now (we have our own private one we are working with for later). It uses a few dependencies we don't use for the staking hardware The only difference between mainnet and github right now is the IRC Chat tab in Windows and Mac. They are both 1.0.4 and will both work and sync up Here is the source with IRC on a temporary link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9KhUdXDh1RqY1FaR1ZOQWFJN0E

That looks very cool btw.. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) +1 I just started with Snowballs and bought some... good time, they seem stable now. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Greets! Good timing ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Welcome

Sorry for using this picture, but I couldn't have possibly even created a better one... The Yeti First there was the SnowballMaieuticoin and Snowballs were the first coins to produce a mass market, easy to scale, standalone staking wallet. These units proved to us there was an interest in hardware and we aim to continue innovating in any way we can. The Yeti is the next step in our evolution of devices. Not only is this device perfect for someone who wants to keep their actions their own, but it also helps to add yet another layer of security between your money and any external threats when used as a complete system with our staking hardware Now there is the YetiThe Yeti aims to decrease visibility one step further than most coins do. While your transactions are still easily available in the public ledger, the Yeti adds a layer of interference between your devices and their destination. Instead of trying to provide plausible deniability through the blockchain and transactions, the Yeti instead provides a wireless network that processes all information and traffic through the Tor network. When used together with the Snowball staking hardware, these two handy, easy to afford devices, provide two additional layers of security between your wealth and anyone who has malicious intent Who is this good for?If you want to browse anonymously on a netbook, tablet, phone, or other mobile or console device that cannot run Tor and does not have an Ethernet connection. If you do not want to or cannot install Tor on your work laptop or loan computer What is Tor?Tor is an onion routing service - every internet packet goes through 3 layers of relays before going to your destination. This makes it much harder for the server you are accessing (or anyone snooping on your Internet use) to figure out who you are and where you are coming from. It is an excellent way to allow people who are blocked from accessing websites to get around those restrictions What exactly does it do?The Yeti is connected to your modem or router via ethernet and creates a wireless network that can be used to push all traffic from connected devices through Tor. This includes mobile devices, tablets, phones, desktops, laptops, or any other device that is enabled for wireless, as well as our standalone staking hardware devices. The Yeti creates a new wireless access point and does not interfere with any current or future wireless networks. You can run the Yeti and your current wireless setup simultaneously Pricing and availabilityThese units will not be pre-orders like the first round of Snowballs were. We have been keeping this quiet for a while, but it is almost ready to go. Just a little more testing and user friendly features to add. We plan to open sales to both domestic and international customers simultaneously this round with no limit to the number of units that can be purchased per address. More unit specifications will be available when we start taking orders
Design subject to change. The wireless antenna is not pictured above

Is there an approximate price and what kind of payments will be accepted for the Yeti?
Not posted price, yet, but we will accept BALLS for Yetis on their own or MMXIV for the combo pack of a Snowball staking unit and a Yeti
