this does not seem like daemon is running, did you try

Code:
bitcoin-cli getinfo

or

Code:
bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

also you should post the bitcoin.conf info

well that's a good common sense, but it does not really answer the question, we all know when people are "Forced" to do something, they will learn the best ways of doing it. but i am talking about the average person, who uses only his local "stable for now at least" currency. average joe is too scared of holding his own assets and having 100% responsibility of securing it because he always counted on the bank to do that for him, average joe likes bitcoin but only worried about being hacked and never refunded. how do we go about this average joe ?

Hey mikeywith great answer!, now i have clearly why this is impossible. The way you explain it (with apples and sticks) is clear for any one.  So, we can say the score is Bitcoin 1 - ANN 0.

Actually it's more like SHA256 1 - ANN 0 . we need to give credit to Merkle whom i think was the first person to introduce collision-resistant hash function.

Jeeze whereabouts are you that 45C is normal?

We get hot and humid summers in southern Ontario and as long as their was managed airflow there was no need for AC. But agree that introducing some cold air will maintain the health of the miners long term. Easy to calculate your overhead and stay profitable.

very close to the sahara desert "no joke" ,  if power is dirt cheap AC is the way to go i the summer, if not the you will need to move a ton of air around the miners when it get's really hot. it's just a matter of everyone own abilities.

cheers

exactly the point, we can't tell the exact number or ratio, which i would bet the house that in terms of shitpost to quality posts with be many:little. rank alone is not enough criteria to build restrictions on , if there is anything to be implemented it has to be rank-less based, it has to be quality-based, it also has to apply to everybody only then it will be fair.

i also think that shitposts are one of the main reasons the signature campaigns are still going. if every signature campaign focused only on members who post quality posts, then i am sure 2 or 3  campaigns will be able to utilize every qualified member.

but those signature campaigns focus mainly on VIEWS, someone who is promoting a shitcoin ico would rather have 100 shitposters wearing their signature than 5 quality members. and it seems like it's working for them ! .

yes i have been on the forum since April but only started to be active like last month or so , and i do know how the merit system works. my statement was not a reply to anything you said in particular, it was mainly to the op suggesting the limit of newbies.

for example this

Newbie   -    Should not be able to open their own topics, should not be able to post links, with current 360s between posts they should also have daily limit.


7607  Other / Meta / Re: Planing to translate whole topics to local board> need permission. on: December 30, 2018, 10:44:21 PM

that will be impossible to do for a few reasons

1- The OP might not be active on the forum anymore
2- some topics involves decisions, and the replies are more important than the OP, having to PM everyone for permission to translate their post will be practically impossible.

I plan to do this on large-scale not just 1 or 2 topics, so unless there is an efficient yet within the law method then the task will be impossible to achieve.
7608  Other / Meta / Re: Forum suggestion for countering low quality on: December 30, 2018, 10:30:43 PM

look around the technical and series discussion, you will be amazed , many members who joined recently are top notch geeks.
If that's true, then they shouldn't have a problem advancing in rank if that's important to them.  But if you think it's not the low-ranked members who are the primary problem, obviously you haven't ready many threads in Altcoin/Bitcoin Discussion.  Not to mention the rest of the altcoin section, the ANN, bounties, and tokens parts in particular.  The shitposting noobs have also started to infest Economics, Trading Discussion, and Speculation as well.  Go read some threads in all those sections and then tell me if you disagree with me 100%.

I clearly mentioned this "look around the technical and series discussion"

here are a few examples

> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032987.0
> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3459858
>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2258344.0
>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4768828.0
>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5079681.0
>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089384.0

These members with low ranks along with many others have many great posts. the reason you see the low-ranked members as the source of problem is probably mainly because of the number of the low-ranked compared to the high-ranked.

for every good newbie there are probably 10 shitposters newbies posting in the same topic, it's mainly a matter of low-rank to high-rank ratio that gives this perspective.

everyone was a newbie at once, and i believe they all should have the same chances like those previews newbies who now ranked up.
7609  Other / Meta / Planing to translate whole topics to local board> need permission. on: December 30, 2018, 09:51:31 PM
 
  There is a lack of content within the local Arabic board, there is a large numbers of users but with barely any content. and this is mainly because many members
 don't understand English.

 so i am thinking of copying-pasting whole topics from mainly but not limited to (Bitcoin Technical Support , Beginners & Help ,Serious discussion and Mining)

 The way I plan to do this, is basically copy paste the OP of topics i find useful , picking a few informative replies, translate everything to Arabic, and post on the
 Arabic board.

  i will surely post the original link as a reference , but then having to quote every reply/comment will requite a lot of work.

 so the short version of my question is ; can I just post the link + the original poster's username and then paste the translation without having to quote every
 single thing? will this be against the forum rules "i have read them all but couldn't find anything that's quite closely related to my question".

 also i am open to suggestions of how to implement this "content exporting" without violating any copy rights, also keep in mind that I am doing this for free and
 mainly to to help spread the awareness and the good quality posts to the Arabic local board, so doing this with the "least" effort will be more encouraging, as
 long as i am not violating any rules.

I don't understand why many people relate poor quality / shitposts /spam posts to newbies or lower rank members. this is 100% wrong.

why would you limit a newbie who has a huge amount of knowledge just because he recently joined the forum?

look around the technical and series discussion, you will be amazed , many members who joined recently are top notch geeks.

allow everyone to post, let the members decide who is worthy and who is not,  by merting and commenting on quality posts.  

7611  Other / Meta / Re: Autoban on: December 30, 2018, 01:18:22 AM
His profile is https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=riosakamoto in case you didn't see hyperlink.

looked at a few of his posts, he is not a shit-poster in fact the quality of his posts is not bad at all. and he didn't seem like a copy-paste person, i am interested in knowing the ban reason  Grin.

7612  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: will work/ help out for merit on: December 30, 2018, 01:06:41 AM
1-offer your services within the marketplace if you want to work and get paid.

2- if you want Merit use your knowledge to post quality posts, for example make a simple guide for newbies on how to set up their own masternodes , i am pretty sure you will get a lot of merits for posting things you are good at.

7613  Other / Meta / Re: Is the Default trust system still working/active? on: December 30, 2018, 12:42:09 AM
I can't take serious someone like the description licking boobs

who doesn't like licking boobs ? Huh i sometimes's stop and stare at that profile picture, it actually has a tongue moving. Grin .

anyway if you plan to trade again on the forum, just be extra careful, offer a valid collateral if you need a loan.

Good luck.

So, the rules were: give a table of data with 3 colums. first the temperature, then the pressure and at last the property we want to get, it could be entropy, density, viscosity and other stuff... Run the ANN ad if we get a R close to 1 (linear regression coefficient), then our equation was right.


in theory you can, but practically you just can't. the difference between the example you gave is that that first both input and output are small, and the result does not have to be 100% accurate, also the output can be reversed with a few possibilities.

for example if you are only allowed to multiply 2 numbers as an input to generate a single output 

if you have

3  *   4   = 12

if you have

3 *  ?  = 12 > easy to solve the second input

if you have

?  *  ?   = 12

you have a few options to try out

1* 12 = 12

2 * 6 = 12

3 * 4  =12

4* 3  = 12
----------------------------------

but doing this with a 256 bits you always have 2^256  combinations !

the strength of the hashing function is that you can't know where it came from.

if i can recall correctly a few dev members including Spagni denied that Ezekiel Osborne has any relationship with XMR. i have not done a lot of reading about it but i think Ezekiel is another Craig Wright.
7616  Other / Serious discussion / Re: It's just a game! on: December 29, 2018, 11:40:25 PM
 2M$ to somebody can be as 20$ to somebody else.

you spend 10$ on a beer while a dozen of poor kids starving in Africa "who need only 25 cents to be fed for a whole day " are dying from hunger.

5000$ is enough to build wells that can supply a small villages in Africa of 200-300 people with clean water for the trust rest of their lives, while you spend it on a few gifts for your girlfriend/wife.

Starving kids in Afirica look at us the way we look at those "whales" who spend a fortune on games.

we are all playing the same GAME.
7617  Other / Meta / Re: Autoban on: December 29, 2018, 11:08:35 PM
 
sorry my magic ball couldn't find your banned account , so i think you need to post the username/profile link to that account.

also i am willing to bet the cat that it's plagiarism related.
7618  Other / Meta / Re: Is the Default trust system still working/active? on: December 29, 2018, 11:06:15 PM


there is a good chance that you are an honest person and you were actually going to repay the loan, but honestly using a shitcoin that is not even on CMC as a collateral is as bad as going to the pawn shop with your underwear as a collateral, while you may think it worth a lot, to most people it's useless and have 0 value. and given the amount of scammers around, the smallest thing you do puts you on the scammers side. so before you try to buy/sell/lend/load you need to think 10 times before you become a scam suspect.
7619  Other / Meta / Re: I still not understand about Smerit on: December 29, 2018, 10:53:08 PM
for each Merit you receive , you get 0.5 sMerit
but you can only use the Smerit when it's a real number (1,2,3,4,5,6,,etc)you can't send 3.5 Smerits ! .

so if you receive 1 Merit, you will have 0.5 Smerit in your account, but you can't see it/use it.
when you get another 1 which is total of 2 Merit received, you will have another 0.5 sMerit to be added to your previous 0.5 sMerit and you will end up with  1
complete sMerit that you can send to somebody. and your 1 sMerit will give that person 0.5 sMerit.

so if there is no newly generated merits " which there is" the sMerit on the whole forum will eventually finish.

7620  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So I tracked the Cryptocurrencies based on Binance on: December 29, 2018, 07:02:49 AM
pretty impressive, but make no mistake you should never use these data to trade, i have tried that before and it's very random. you should never place your buying/selling decisions on the coin flow at one exchange, unless the amount deposited is very huge, and based on that i would like to see an update where one can search for a deposited amount that => say 5%  the total supply of x coin.
