qubitcoin from yesterday is gpu minable
I will remove Q2C. PTS - I mined (ypool) for about 12 hours on my FX-8320. Didn't get a lot. I will do a more thorough test and re-add if still profitable. Right now it's been junked out because the difficulty level is out of whack, due to all the ppl that were mining prior to Mar 1st. It should be better once difficulty adjusts... then I guess you just wait for the next "DAC"... but CPU performance vs GPU isn't unreasonable and it *used* to be profitable, even w/ the 4000 c/m GPU miners... profitable, as in, you could actually get dedicated servers & make money off of them (if you knew where to get them from and/or if you know some host that you can get a good bulk deal from) |

I haven't messed with Memorycoin since the first couple of days it was active (got like 1000 or so and stopped)... Since it's well established now, I'd be surprised if Amazon EC2 is still profitable... Digital Ocean could be, but only because of the excessive amt of free credits they like to throw around That is cool. I know over on the MemoryCoin forum they have a setup for running it from Amazon as well as Digital Ocean. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?board=35.0I would use all of these servers for MemoryCoin. Use the Yam miner software. That would really get the most out of them.
yeah, I had around 50 servers running yam on protoshares until the feb 28 midnight thing. well, they're still doing protoshares, but that's just 'cause i'm lazy. memorycoins would be better.. oh.. i started running bitcoind again on 3 of them just for kicks. i wish blockchain would connect to them more often  ed: oh, for a while there protoshares were even good to use with those Amazon EC2 7c 8 core instances |

I never thought bitcoins would go > $35 it hit in.. hmm.. April 2011, right? Never could really wrap my head around it gaining widespread use given how idiotic most people are with wireless/pr0n links/warez/passwords/computer knowledge in general.
Probably some godawful amt of individuals that have had their bitcoins taken... We just hear about the big ones, hah.
I still get the occasional phishing email from MtGox fiasco

the only time it was worth buying an ASIC was during initial development period, and essentially everyone stunk it up there, too.. except for Avalon
Nah avalon stunk it up too when they saw everyone else doing it and wondered why they didn't think of it first. Ah, it could be confusing, I imagine there are quite a few Avalon batches now... I was just referring to that very first batch of Avalons.. Those made the 50 (?) or so people that got them $1000 a day for a couple of months.. The second batch of Avalons I think made ppl a decent amt, but not near as much as first? Then the third batch was priced too high & crap... I guess all subsequent ones are the same as 3rd Oh, I do recall that you could sell that 2nd batch Avalon to some crazy people for around $15k or so... and they were priced around $1500, right? |

Hi, its may overcharged but how would it be to add other Cryptocoin(s) to the pool? This could be very interessting for people with low Ghash. But it would be hard to choose one, cause you never know which coin will be good. The Bitminter client is just awesome its so easy to setup and so comfortable. Many people would mine over the BitMinter client cause they maybe got problems with cgminer or bfgminer. Please excuse my bad English  Best regards as in scrypt coins agreed! |

hoho, i seem to recall saying some time ago that slush, bitminter, and eclipsemc will have the least amt of orphans
and ghash.io will have the most (also how eligius was "funky" and btcguild needed improvement)
either ghash.io has been lucky or they finally fixed things up. can't tell myself since i havent run bitcoind in many months
find it in your PM history!
Yes, ghash.io certainly seem to be winning the orphan races that they are in. I don't know if they are having fewer orphan races though. Was thinking about it some too & I guess I could be wrong anyway..... re: bitminter + eclipseMC combined seem to get about 1/4th as many blocks as ghash.io? so it could be similar proportionately |

deepbit used to get lots of blocks. as i recall, all the payments were done in-house (for 0 fee). since deepbit doesnt get any blocks anymore, no payments are sent

I known :
btcGuild is btcGuild.com
Eligius is Eligius.st
P2Pool which website? P2Pool.in or P2Pool.org?
P2pool can be through any public node or your own personal node, they all connect together into one large pool. Public nodes: http://p2pool-nodes.info/http://p2pool.in/ is the main info site for setting up p2pool node yourself. P2pool.org is a fake p2pool (as noted in the small text on bottom of the site, "not affiliated with p2pool and forrestv". They just took advantage of the name). Elizium.name is a popular public p2pool node... And I have a public node listed in my sig. p2pool.org isnt fake at all, but i imagine the horrid efficiency there turns a lot of ppl off to p2pool in general grats on the guy getting the p2pool.org domain though, there's 3.5thash worth of suckers mining bitcoins on there right now. 55mhash on litecoins. all for the privilege of having some 75% efficiency rating (*and paying a 3% fee) |

I have received a whole lot of nothing in my merged mining wallets. I know merged mining is more like Solo mining with P2Pool, but with this somewhat middling hashpower I would have expected to have gotten something within this timeframe. So do I have something setup wrong or is the probability really that bad with around a 1TH of power? Even Namecoin has only the few bits I got from failover to BTCGuild and nothing from my merged p2pool node even after being active for over 3 months.
When I did the math the other day, I think Namecoin merge mining with my 180GH miner on my Un node is about 2 years average time to find a namecoin block. I'd need to be more around 10 TH to get blocks on a regular enough basis to consider that a legitimate source of income to pay for the pool overhead. It'd be nice if there was a namecoin p2pool network, and p2pool could merge mine off of that extra p2pool network somehow. With merge mining BTC you are pretty much solo mining the other coins - it's pot luck. Unless you have insane hashing power like a large pool you're relying on luck, basically. Having said that, I got 3 I0C yesterday - first payment in over a month with that coin!!  merged mining in p2pool node is wast of resources. latency will go higher and memory usage is very high too. my experience says that it is contra productive to mine them. when i tested to mine merged coins in my node, efficiency of nod was much lower. most of nodes make merged mining to cover costs, but usually it is not worth it. since i don't have merced coins in my node it functions perfect and payouts are much better than with merged mining. better set 1% of fee on your public node to cover your costs instead of mining hidden merged coins. if somebody is mining in your node without merged mining, he gets better payouts with 1% of fee than 0% fee and merged mining. i agree with you , except in the case of namecoins (err, well, if you have a "decent" speed, anyway... which I'd say would be about a 1 in 200 chance per day of finding a namecoin, one block of namecoins is worth around $200 at current prices) |

Is there anyway to disable the wallet function in P2Pool and have it instead forward the percentage of shares the note is to receive to a different wallet? I have hit a stumbling block; over a week a go I initiated a transfer of over 1/2 a bitcoin and Bitcoin-QT told me I need to account for 0.0004 of the fee, so I did that and ever since the transfer has been in limbo, it looks like bitcoin-qt gave me the wrong fee to account for it if I understand the blockchain correctly. https://blockchain.info/tx-index/7bbbc7b5fac8c2973e9c62a17cead946b9cf1832aac47479799ce566fafabcc1Also I need to figure out if can fix this issue or have I lost those coins?  Thanks, correct fee for that is 0.0004, the fee on link provided is 0.00004 chances of getting into a block that is less than 10k (or 27k if it's priority) in size is slim Thanks. I am in the process of moving my P2Pool so I can use pywallet and leave my bitcoin-qt shutdown for a week or so, hopefully the it will be removed from the blockchain then so I can resend it with the correct amount, then move my P2Pool back. the way to fix those is just to create a new wallet.dat (back up old one ofc), then import private key of the address that sent those coins that never arrived and reindex blockchain |

ah, nice, just noticed this i'll probably start up the doge pool again ah, long live doge, too boring to monitor all the new shitcoins, just leave it on there for a month or so now if ppl would just upgrade their doge pools to new version. alas |

I have a qt wallet saying it has 8 active connections to the network but it has been 42 weeks behind for several weeks now. The arrow wheel on the lower right does not turn like it used to if that means anything. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and have added bitcoin-qt.exe to the excluded files as well as the bitcoin folder to excluded locations, but the blockchain was loading fine a few weeks ago without changing settings in mse. I have reinstalled the wallet as well. No luck. bitcoin-qt.exe is hardly using any cpu as it used to. using windows xp. My hard drive is getting full but it says I have 5.76 gb free space. 16gb of of the blockchain is already on the drive.
uh, i assume it's using the same source code as the linux version, in which case it won't dl anymore if you're under 50GB of free space. i always have to edit that shit out so i can use ramfs |

I was an early adopter, assigning many good ole Q6600 quadcore's to the effort and getting in big with a mini farm (at the time 4 rigs, with 5870's) burning away on slush's pool ...
Now all that fun is with the onslaught of other alternative crypto currencies that seem to pop up every other day... and countless new individuals getting into the game. The gpu mining is stronger than ever and exciting. Building rigs with 6 and even 7 gpu's just to see what they can do is a riot (expensive) but least it feeds the need for instant gratification, i.e. I can go down to my local store, pickup hardware and hash the same night. With the ASIC market however it seems to take some of that fun out of it... Waiting 9 months for my BF lab 50g/h unit kinda killed bitcoin mining for me, pushing most of my operating revenue to hedge hard on alt currencies...
Just wondering how many old troops out there feel the same way? Miss the old times?
i rarely read this section of the forum. asic companies make asics, they use them themselves, they sell them when they cease to be profitable. the only time it was worth buying an ASIC was during initial development period, and essentially everyone stunk it up there, too.. except for Avalon just imagine all those dystopian corporate ruled societies from fantasy and science fiction |
