I'm not trying to hide it from the user I didn't mean that, the process is clearly visible in the task manager, you just don't have a popping window and an extra item in taskbar/tray. The basic command goes along the lines of start-process D:\bitcoin-0.11.2-win64\bitcoind.exe -ArgumentList '-datadir=D:\bitcoin-DATA -rpcuser=someuser -rpcpassword=somepassword -testnet' -PassThru -NoNewWindowthe above in the powershell console, ofc. It needs to be wrapped in a proper "cmdlet", smth like https://ghostbin.com/paste/jp2ac plus the "scheduled job" that starts the bitcoind, checks if it's still alive and restarts it when needed I saw 'hehe' and I think of an evil genious laugh lol Awesome script, I'm planning on running this on my work computer at the office. I'm an IT guy but my boss is a bit skeptic on bitcoin so im playing it safe. Thanks |

I've been mining for awhile now on Slush and recently transitioned my miners to a smaller pool. It's been about 3 days now and I've been thinking and learning a lot more by speculation on this forum and the operation of this small pool I am on.
Question:
When pools are mining, are they all mining the same block or different separate blocks that the pool is locked in to until the block is solved then another block is locked into the pool?
There is no progress toward a block or something such a individualism. Its more like drawing lots until you find a winning one (a share). When you find a winning one, that is a share with a diff over the global network, you found a block. The node broadcast it to the network and then tell you if its valid. Ok thanks for your reply Your other option is looking at pools that offer PPS. This is much more stable as far as daily pay. But they do take a fee. So over time you mine less profit if the other pool would be 100 percent. But sometimes PPS is nice to have if you like consistent pay. Ok thanks for the tip. |

hehe  how about a PowerShell script that creates a PowerShell "Scheduled Job" which starts bitcoind.exe in a hidden window at logon/startup, monitors the process and re-starts it if it crashes? I (re)discovered bitcoin a few days ago -- sadly a few years later and too late  --, also I'm learning some PowerShell atm, and I'm planning on making such a script the next few days. If you're interested and I manage to pull it, I might post it Yes that would be cool. I'm not trying to hide it from the user but its too easy to just close out of the app and then you have to restart it. I know there is a startup setting for the app, but my question/statement was to make the app a service. open up command and type in services.msc thats what I am saying |

For my small setup, I open the windows and allow the cold are to come into the basement if the miners get 'heated' For OC'ing this has really helped out this winter  I like your setup! Firstly, you don't have fire-hazardous things around, like some other home-made setups I've seen. Secondly, your setup is inside so no worries about rain/snow and such. And also I like that the shelf you put your miners on has holes in it, which is better than just plain shelf IMO for cooling. Thanks! When I saw the 'Miner Pr0n' post I had to clean it up a bit. Didn't look like that before lol. |

if blockchain could survive, (becoming an "hard" chain maybe hand written  ) bitcoin will survive and function as well. even the creation of token (physically) can the same help. but without internet there are a lot of problem much bigger than this one, and I think that it ceased to function only for this "strong" reason. Phew going on 50gb of data for the blockchain, that's a lot of writing lol |

I tell myself that bitcoin is not going away and it's here to stay, BUT yeah if the entire world loses connectivity with everyone in it (big EMP, disaster from space) then then the p2p wouldnt work.
As a backup. Some satellites will be launched soon I imagine within a decade at most.

Anything's possible... likely? No, it will take you millions of years to find a block on average. As for why they sell them to you, it's because it's easy to sell hardware to people who don't know what it is they're buying if the sales pitch is all bullshit.
I bought on Amazon UK, And sales pitch was that I could earn at least 25 bitcoin per month. If that's really not true I will raise an issue with Amazon Ouch that is straight up BS I'm sorry. I own one erupter and I've thought about plugging her in for a minimal chance of hitting a block solo. Try it out, it's worth a shot but don't expect it to happen. |

Nice little app. With my 3 S3's it'll take me 11 years to solo mine  5 stars |

Reading this thread just influenced me to better understand how to support Bitcoin. Been mining but that's like playing the lotto.
I have a Node setup now
75.187.165.159:8333 (dynamic)
and i am setting up one in NY (brother is on a military base)

Why not make the Bitcoin Core running strictly as a node for users a service in Windows rather than an app?
Not sure if Linux is like this? It's not a huge big deal but I plan here in the next week installing nodes on family's computers and it'd be nice to have the core running as a service vs an app that has to be open.

Christian Idiots?
I dont know about all that, but the fact that it is in the Christian Bible leads many to believe that it could be the One World Currency.
Adoption rate is slow because its a new technology that deals with Money, and now politics. In the US politics and 'new' policies are slow.
People want something 'official' Bitcoin has not made ranks of being 'official' and 'mainstream' ....yet

No, the people I'm talking about are afraid of it like they've seen a ghost. Right, I agree. In my beliefs that will happen (and now I know I'm getting borderline with the new world standard of 'offensive') But if its going to happen, then its going to happen and there is no stopping it, period. Thats why I like Bitcoin |

I have 3 not 5 cuz I am a noob: Coinbase > its great for USD to BTC Bitify > Its an ok marketplace that you can buy 'invites' to private trackers, nothing really else on there is legit bravo-mining.com > A good mining pool, that is legit and small at this time, but charges a really low rate (.5%) Thats all I use |

I am amazed that there are all these conspiracy theories, predictions, and prophecies being throwing about and not a single reference to the obvious connections between the "mark of the beast" prophecies mentioned in the Book of Revelations:
Revelations 13
16. "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right
hands (cell phone?") or on their foreheads (memory?),
17. "so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (BTC daemon?) , which is the name of the
beast or the number of its name (BTC address?)."
18. "This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the
number of a man (algorithm?). That number is 666 (iteration?)."
I am just amazed that with all of this conspiracy rhetoric nobody threw these religious prophecies into the mix.
Many people believe the bible is not a book to be followed.. but to be used for exactly this. As soon as I came across Bitcoin back in 2011, THIS is what I believed right away. This is no joke |
