81  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: GUIMinerm, CGminer cutting my internet connection as soon a I click start mine. on: May 08, 2013, 06:07:38 PM
Could try posting directly in the cgminer thread might get more help there.
Random guess but do you have a usb wifi stick that you use for network connection ? Could the USB probing on cgminer be  effecting it?

The above post is right on the BTC Smiley If someone pays you late or accidently to a old address and you have deleted it no getting it back. Unless you use a deterministic wallet ? Like Armory?

You could always just archive them by dumping the addresses out and putting them into a encrypted file, with a identifier for each one so you know which customer its linked to.

Have a look at this thread as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158105.0

Not sure about the above post about eloipool as I dont know much about it.

But the three most used most probably would be

p2pool
Eloipool
Stratum-mining
and pushpool (Iam not sure if this supports version 2 blocks, anyone?) But it does only support getwork protocol at the moment.

85  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [2500 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + Stratum on: May 07, 2013, 08:40:42 PM
I'm not against Namecoin, I just see the project dead, there's no development in last year, documentation is non-existing, merged mining patches obsolete (most recent official toolchain is for bitcoin 0.3.24!).

In these days I'm migrating pool to new servers and I'll drop old pool core completely (I won't install it to new servers at all), so NMC will be completely disabled in few days. But if everything will run smoothly, I'll dig into merged mining and if there won't be any real issue, I'll try to set up NMC mining again.

If that over six months ago and it has not happened yet even with some people asking then I doubt it will happen. But I guess that is up to slush.

Stratum is not limited in terms of merged mining.  It's a matter of adding merged mining to the pool software.  Both Slush and BTC Guild have elected to stop supporting NMC with Stratum due to complete lack of development.  NMC is based on bitcoin 0.3 code, has had NO active development in over a year.  It is a failed experiment only being kept alive by people taking advantage of others with pump & dumps.
I know... As you have my backup pool I need to use getwork because of that. And so what. As long as it has value I don't even care why... Unless you are saying this is not for making money but experiment in bettering humanely... If this is the case you can give me all extra BTC that you don't need for running the pool.

Use a pool that supports merged mining or start your own pool, instead of spending that time whining like a child who has not got their own way maybe?

Yes it can.

edit: I think Mike Hearn also talked about this at one of the conferences that is on video?
88  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Cant connect to my pool (eloipool) dont know why on: May 06, 2013, 09:27:34 PM
Looks like bitcoind is refusing connection the pool software, check you password and setup for bitcoind.

Try asking this in the thread under mining about eloipool you might get some more responses.

Why day 'Current server load (60 sec average)' =  330-340 getwork/s, but at night it is 450-500 getwork/s ?

Because somewhere else in the world it daytime?
90  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [700GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: May 04, 2013, 11:53:55 AM
Can't connect to p2pool. Can't find any peers...

Edit: now I can, but I have tried everything last night and was unable to connect to any peer. Restarted everything I could.

Have you port forwarded the ports that are needed if the machine is behind a router or firewall?
91  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: What are the economics of pools? on: April 28, 2013, 08:20:23 PM
I'm curious as to the transparency and economics of pools..  Obviously pools have the cost of their machine time & internet to run them.  I'm wondering about the other economics:

I saw one pool that said "we've loaned the pool $XXX so that it can do payouts, thus we are raising our % fee".  What the heck would this mean, and why would they ever need or do that?  Doesn't the pool simply pay out the cryptocoins that it finds?

Many pools don't let you withdraw your funds until they get to some threshold, citing "fees".  Is this just a way to recoup some of the costs (see above) of running the pool?  What would they mean by "fees"?  Are they just expecting that they can keep any funds that aren't eventually withdrawn?

What are the pool owners doing with the coins while they are parked at the pool? I guess they could secretly short the currency, or do some other type of speculation with my money.  Has this been a problem?

Thanks for your comments!
The loaned about may have been for a pool doing PPS which they need a buffer of bit coins for if they have a run of bad luck.

The threshold is because new blocks of bitcoins cannot be spent till another 120 blocks have been made.

The above applies as well in the third question partly, someone else might be able to answer if a pool has been caught speculating before?

Some pools keep the transactions fees included in the block some dont. Fees are normally a few % which is taken of the block before payout.

There are two major topics on this in the technical and development forum if you want to read more about including information on the vanity pool.
93  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What version of Linux? on: April 28, 2013, 11:46:42 AM
It's not so much about your computer is 32bit or 64bit it's what you set setting the virtual machine in virtual box to run as the Linux version has to match that. Just use the 32bit version for a start anyway till you learn to use it.
94  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What version of Linux? on: April 28, 2013, 12:59:12 AM
Watch the video and read the tutorial and make sure you choose the right settings for the vm you create.
95  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What version of Linux? on: April 28, 2013, 12:56:29 AM
https://www.kernel.org/
you should use the most recent version (3.8.10).

Well I know what you meant and probably does everyone else. But I just want you to know that Linux itself is just the kernel which on it's own is pretty useless for an enduser. And therefore asking for a version of Linux is misleading.

You are searching for a GNU/Linux Distro that suits your needs. Although I do think gentoo is the best to use, it's probably not the best for you.
RMS is that you in disguise?
96  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What version of Linux? on: April 27, 2013, 11:02:50 PM
LinuxMint just shows me a splash screen and never actually boots in my VM box after I mounted with CloneDrive.

Now I"m downloading Ubuntu 13.04 and will give that a shot and try the approach above.


Clone drive ? huh ?

Did you set the virtual box vm to the right version that you downloaded 32bit or 64 bit ?

You might have better luck on one of the linux forums.

Before you install on any hard drives make sure you have  backup. If you dont do the install properly you can wipe the wrong hardrive etc.

My suggestion would be to install virtual box https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Then you can try out multiple distributions of linux all you want without effecting your windows install.

For me currently (depends what you want to do eg desktop or server)
These are for desktop

1. Linux Mint  http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php  (cinnamon version with codecs)
2. Ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop   
3. Debian http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/

As for code and compiling on the first two
sudo install build-essential 

will install gcc etc

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-linux-and-open-source-developer-tools-you-should-not-overlook/579

There are  hundreds of blogs/articles out there on coding/developing etc

it has only got 1.1 GB so can i setup it up for litecoins or some alts maybe or i guess i can find out how much for more ram.. how much
$8 per GB per mth

Is that ram or traffic?

At a guess 16 to 32 or maybe more depending on what performance you want?

Bitcoind needs atleast 2 gig of memory seeping on max connections settings.  If bitcoind is running out of memory it will affect most pool software. How muh memory does the vps have ?

I don't think poolserverj has been updated to version 2 blocks ?
