Simple tables with date, shares submitted, stale shares, paid credit, unpaid credit and electricity usage on a 24hr basis are nice

Typically all this information, besides electricity use, can be grabed by the api to save you on data entry

I would be willing to pay the value of what its weight in silver is.

Precious metal coins are generally only ever worth their weight. (I used to trade in 1oz gold coins).

HAHAHAHA! No you didn't.

A minted precious metal coin is worth 5%-30% and sometimes higher because of its stamped value, condition, year and quantity minted. Coin retailers typically buy at 90% value from people looking to get rid of their coins. Unless your market trading or paper gold/silver trading very rarely does anyone ever pay spot value.

If this is true and you bought at spot or below then you owned a 'chop shop' and shame on you. How many beautiful coins did you destroy?

Philharmonics, American Eagles, Maples... All sell at ~6%+ new (typically from kitco I get 2009-2011 uncirculated).

683  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1014 GH/s 0% fee SMPPS] ArsBitcoin mining pool! Come join us! on: November 04, 2011, 03:44:09 PM
Hello,

Sorry guys, the reality right now is:

1) I haven't done anything to improve the pool in at least a month.
2) All I've done is try and keep it up.  I usually get a text message when it messes up, but not always.  Each server (main and 2) seems to randomly fail occasionally (both PoolServerJ and pushpool.)  I haven't had time to try and figure out the root cause.  Basically PSJ/pushpool degrade after a while and need a restart.
3) I haven't done the numbers, but I'm probably losing money each day at the moment on this because EC2 is expensive and the BTC price is low.  The bill this last month was ~$400+ with the two servers + bandwidth costs.
4) I'm closer to bringing the pool down than I am to implementing merged mining or anything else.
5) I'm having some personal problems and issues just trying to do work for my real job, so the priority for this right now is very low.  In fact the pool is probably mostly still up (instead of being taken down) because it is more effort to take it down cleanly (provide notice, email everyone, resolve coin balances, etc.) than it is to keep it in its current state.

So, I apologize, but that is how things stand at the moment.  I can't guarantee anything for the future, i.e. whether I will take the pool down, or finally work on improving it, etc.


Hey BT,
I'm sorry to hear of you personal problems and the stress of maintaining this wonderful service. Before you decide to do anything drastic with arsbitcoin, please get in touch with me! As many would probably agree, this pool is to good to disappear. Hope things get better for you BT.

Firstly, I found out that there were two servers available from the Pool Stats. However, the IP addresses and/or DNS names of said servers aren't immediately obvious anywhere. The simple setup (arsbitcoin.com) may be some fancy dynamic DNS thing to avoid attacks, but my version of phoenix and/or Linux (1.50 / 11.04) doesn't seem to move the IP around (is it?). If it isn't, then it presumably points to Server 1.

This was painfully obvious when server 1 went down for whatever reason (DDoS, maintenance, whatever) and all the big dogs at the top of the leaderboard disappeared, apart from jimbit who knew about server 2 and was using cgminer to failover to the second server. So where's the documentation on where the different server IPs are? When Slush had the attacks, his front page had 'new address api2.mining.cz' or whatever he used then.

I ended up resorting to IRC (eh, took me back to me hacking days when I were a lad, good old times Cheesy ) where luckily jimbit was around and pointed out that there were apparently server1.arsbitcoin.com and server2.arsbitcoin.com. Apologies if this is 'secret' for 'security through obscurity' but I'm a firm believer that security through obscurity is a half-arsed waste of time. Especially against the types who are doing DDoS attacks on bitcoin pools.


There had been an announcement under pool stats for a very long time about server2

95 BTC in my GLBSE stock, so 380 shares.

But my question is why isn't this mining for your merged mining company?

+1

Had me curious also...I thought you bought two of them for your MergedMining company ?

I asked him about this already as I was very curious. Here is his response

Why are you selling a 5970? Is there something I should know?

I had 2 that were different brands and I got a good deal on a 3rd that matched one of my first 2.  I'm selling the ASUS so I can now have 2 matching 5970s.  It has worked fine with no problems.

sounds good. I was curious as one of your investors what was going on here. I believe you should put this card to use in the operation, but if you are not I could put it to use in mine. What's the best deal you an give me on it?

I could use this in the operation.  I'm not sure if 950 watts would be enough for 3 5970s without stressing the PSU though.  I'm looking to get 120 BTC for it as I just paid $750 for 2 of them for the mining company.  I really just bought it so I could have a matching pair.

Just realized my mistake, there are only 6 PSUs. They are from some miners that we decided to piece out. Pics here: http://imgur.com/a/cvoxq

I have seen this rig somewhere else...

Time to get my detectives pipe out

by 'inventory' you mean actually stocked.

not just selling shit for 200% markup then buying on newegg and dropshipping.

Yes, 40-60% of inventory is stocked. The larger items, like big screen tvs, are drop shipped from the manufacturers distributor.
