Lotto in 45 mins.

Is the 2 AM one not being run anymore? Or is it, and just not being advertised as much now?

One person mentioned earlier that the drops also happen on the weekend (especially on Sundays) due to no bank's being open. And I heard a rumor that a few big players like to move the market on the weekends by selling a ton of bitcoins and buying them back up. I can't confirm this. Simply things I've heard around the block.

This is actually an interesting theory. It makes sense as well... though I think there's a somewhat large element of risk there. When you do a mass sell to get the price down to re-buy, you are hoping that others will also sell theirs. If they don't, you lose.

Any chance you can mine ftc with a basic computer?
Just dont try it with a laptop. It will melt within a few hours.

lol, I think this one should be obvious for most. Just like why you shouldn't do hardcore gaming on laptops, :p.

Looking at https://www.dokuwiki.org/mime it appears that : swf    application/x-shockwave-flash   and   mp3    audio/mpeg   and    ogg    audio/ogg    and   wav    audio/wav  may be embedded in Devtome pages through MIME configuration. Some one would have to confirm as I'm not familiar with MIME.

Regarding images there is a PHP config that can limit uploaded maximum file/image sizes. This would be desirable going forwards if mega sized images get uploaded.  https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:uploadsize

At present it appears that images can not be deleted due to a missing toolbar. You can check this by going to http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=start&ns=wiki&tab_files=files&do=media&tab_details=view&image=fheenix%3Atest.jpg  and clicking on an image. I use this page as an example as if these images were deleted, no harm would be done. When you click on an image a new box shows that allows you metadata.

Looking at https://www.dokuwiki.org/media_manager#layout you can see a similar view in their example, but with the toolbar at the top right above each image. Note the trashcan icon. I would suggest this be enabled should some one post undesired images i.e. porn etc.



Since when is porn undesirable? :p

And yes, that needs to be fixed. I confirmed that there's no trashbin on my side either. An alternative for the time being could be using the "upload update" or whatever it is. Not sure how it works though.

.. When everyone has a gun, there is no violence.
Sorry, but this is just rubbish.

No, when everyone has a gun, there is LESS violence, and any violence that does occur is usually quickly contained.

Right, I completely agree that there is less. I don't agree that there is "none."

For the record, statistics have already proven this as well. If you look at the number of crimes with guns that are committed in various businesses, you will find that statistically they happen MUCH more often in places where weapons are banned (counties) than elsewhere. This isn't a coincidence; people want to commit crimes they can get away with. If everyone is capable of stopping them, their chances of success go down and therefore the number of people willing to take the risk does as well.

You'll always have those that are "insane" and will commit crimes regardless, though.
8446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MultiCoin][Stratum+GW] multipool.in - Always mine the most profitable coin on: June 16, 2013, 07:39:55 AM
Just to add on my own experience in case it helps with debugging, I'm not experiencing this problem. I'm at 31818 Accepts and 962 Rejects right now total, and ever since it jumped to LTC my Accepts have been going up while Rejects have stayed pretty low (most of my Rejects were from the fast-block coins).

This was on FTC... just now... The Diff changed mid-stream due to the number of workers online now.

diff 32 hurts when it drop due to new block found, and rejects up to 6x shares that were "waiting" for delivery, just before the block was found. Not so bad on slow coins like FTC, but on fast coins, it cuts you short by almost 50% of shares.

Alleviated by reducing my work-load size to 64 also... thus, it finishes up to 4x faster and then submits... instead of waiting for workload 256 to finish, before submitting on every card.

Problem resolved... Use CGminer 3.2.1 (I was only using 3.2.0 for issues related before all the wallets updated when I was solo-mining on this machine.)

Is it recommended to use WL of 64 for all coins (er, the multipool) then?

that's more of a card setting than a coin setting, afaik.

Well, I mean for LTC there are almost no stales. When it comes to the quick-block coins, though, after each block is found I have anywhere from 3 to 10 stales, which sometimes adds up quick. I'm wondering if the work load will decrease this (I don't quite get what the work load does).

Xbox One is a flop and will crash and burn as soon as it comes out.

Sadly this isn't going to happen. People will always be Xbox fans and they are going to get the One regardless of what happens. Especially those who are interested in exclusive games.

Its getting a little ridiculous what they are coming out with now. I find it sad that anyone would need or even use these. If you need to look up an address or phone number or w/e take a min pull your phone out and do it. Do we really need glasses like this?

But this is the future! THE FUTURE!

I think they're cool, but not in the "I'd pay over $1000" way. More like $150 or so tops, just for the fun of having them.

It looks to me as tho all you need is one voter with 30,000 shares to vote yes.. and that's it

Sweet

Not sure the ratio of shares to vote weight, but that's how any company works; majority always wins, whether it is a single person with 51% or a group of people that have 51%.

How does that work? Is it tied to a Google account? And in that case the account could just be transferred with it...?

Unfortunately for the 8,000 people chosen for Google's Glass Explorer Program, Google can (and probably will) deactivate your device if you try to sell it or give it away. If you suddenly become strapped for cash or decide you don't like Glass, tough luck.

I don't see how Google would know it was sold though. People travel all the time. People log on to accounts in different places. Unless you explicitly told Google you had sold them, the chances of them finding out would be almost nonexistent, I would think.

Or any alt coin for that matter?

Not without a GPU. The coins are all GPU-friendly now. YAC I think is at least somewhat competitive as it uses a different hash mechanism ("scrypt-jane") but that may change later.

op is selling nothing,  this scam has been posted before.  nobody can sell their google glass because it is against googles terms of service to sell this state of the art device.

lol@toscantbebroken. Really now? Tell that to the millions of people who break TOS's every single day.

Except that Glass bricks itself when you transfer it to another person.

This is an obvious scam which is why he dodged my pic request.

Either way, I wouldn't trust it without escrow regardless.

Wow!  That was a good explanation.  So the difference between an online and offline wallet is the location of your "private keys"?  ie, with an online wallet they are stored on a server and you access them via your identifying credentials for that website, and with an offline wallet they are stored on your hard drive or written down somewhere?

Yep, you got that right, Smiley.

One refinement: there's an online wallet, where everything is on a server somewhere. Then there's a local wallet, such as the Bitcoin-Qt client or Electrum, where your private keys are stored on your hard drive. This is sometimes referred to as an "offline wallet," but there's a third category too, where your private keys are stored somewhere (such as on paper) that is never connected to the Internet, meaning that the only way somebody could get your keys would be to physically break into wherever they're stored. That's a truly offline wallet.

You quoted a post that already had all of those in it, XD. You just reiterated it, :p.

I know, just trying to draw the distinction between a local wallet and an actual offline wallet. I think it's an important separation of concepts. Smiley

Got ya! I think there's also hybrid online wallets but I don't know enough about them (supposedly it's like the key is handled client-side or something).

Yeah, Electrum and MultiBit both use online copies of the blockchain, and just store your private keys and labels and such locally, so they're sort of hybrids. Bitcoin-Qt, the original client, still downloads the entire blockchain. I tend to lump all three of these into the "local wallet" category, the crucial thing being that your keys are always local, so you don't ever have to trust to the security of some stranger's website.

I hadn't thought of Electrum and MultiBit. That helps explain a lot. I use both but never really understood how they work, just that they do (... probably not a good thing to not understand it when I'm trusting it, lol).

How do i go about making sur eiam usung my GPU instead of my CPU... am i using the wrong program? or is it a setting? and thanks again for your time answering.


Im not even sure how to mine with a cpu other than with minderd. You'd know if you were though because even with a quad core 3.4 GHZ cpu I get less than 8 mh/s, lol.

haha got ya sry if i sound like a retard iam far from a tech expert but iam a fast learner.  Smiley

No problem! I'm actually fairly new to all of this myself but I try to help where I can, :p.

When you are experiencing the sluggish mouse, that's because you're hashing at the maximum rate (it is using your video, which causes that to happen). When you aren't experiencing that, you're only using part of the power.

Thank you... but my CPU usage when running the 50miner program is only at 50% the same as when i run 2 miners on GUIminer and i have no lag when i use that program. Thats what is puzzling me if it was using 100% CPU then I would understand but its not. and do these progeams use bith my cards or just one... and if not is there a program that will use both cards.

CPU and GPU are separate things. I run like 10% CPU usage when mining at max GPU. The CPU isn't really that relevant, which is why a lot of people use cheap single/double core CPU's in their mining rigs.

I voted for "unchanged". Much better chances of winning if there is a daily drawing of the winning tickets.

Theoretically they'd have the same odds/income over time though. 1/2 the chances but 2x the reward should over time even out. The difference is doing it daily would benefit those that join every single day more than those who can't.

I think the objection was not to gambling but to the Satoshi Dice spamming the blockchain with dust/crap/garbage used to signal wins and losses.

A normal gambling concept where the website tells you directly on the website that you lost instead of filling every user's disk with useless garbage "so and so lost at gambling!" messages seems reasonable.

To confirm, the bounty would be only for a normal gambling website, not for something like Satoshi Dice that bloats the block chain.


Wouldn't it be fine if it were like SatoshiDice but held the funds in a user account so you have to choose when to withdraw or something? That would solve the bloat.

Great.  And is there any good reason not to use that instead of a 3rd-part service like bitcoinlaundry.com?

Don't think so. Blockchain is seen as being very trustworthy so it shouldn't be an issue.
