8441  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22] on: November 29, 2014, 11:58:36 PM
quick question i cant find the answer in the post
is the command "-1" working?
whenever i found the privatekey, the terminal keeps looking for more and more...
i want to just recive the solution in the "-o" file i create, and the terminal to stop... or close in better case Smiley thanks

 Working in mine.  Can you paste your command line so I can see how you are doing it?

 Wait, I'm using oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013)

Seems in the version oclVanitygen 0.22 (OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012)

the -1 option is not implemented.

I want to bet on the next diff rise which is in ~7 days. I say it will be below 0.

ok, so the bet I proposed. You're on, 0.1 BTC, I say it will be above 0.

(And if its precisely zero, I suggest we both donate to a charity :p)

Time to turn on my 100PH machine!

Ok.

Damn this is proving an exciting bet.

Bitcoin Difficulty:   40,300,030,328
Estimated Next Difficulty:   40,253,144,000 (-0.12%)

Even if I lose, its money well spent just for entertainment purpose Smiley

FWIW, I do expect to lose. I think bitcoinwisdom is extrapolating the recent spike in to a trend, and Im not convinced there is such trend, might as well be random noise. If I check blockexplorer, which just averages without assuming a trend, its predicting  39.8B. So my 100PH machine better start delivering some blocks to make up for that shortfall :p.
It's very exciting.  I'm thinking of putting my 40 AM USB block erupters back in service for a little bump Wink
What's it worth to you for me to keep them offline?? Wink

My guess is around 50 BTC invested based on the dividends paid and the bid/asks.  Nice to see though - not many people making money on mining these days.

It was actually more like 42BTC with a yield of 10% on investment.

hell that is still a good time frame so i say you will roi maybe in less than 10 days. I am just assuming numbers not doing any actual math so for all i know you might roi tomorrow or by monday

I sold 750GH last night which brought me to the point of full return on my investment and i still own 4.25THps, free hashrate.

 Excellent!  I want to send you my coins now so you can multiply them for me.  I'm only good at division and subtraction with Bitcoin Wink

I can do it for half price. PM me if this job is still available

 I'll do it for one-quarter and give Zahra half of that just for coming out!

PS for a guy who needs it by Dec 1, you sure are taking your time.

When do you need this done?


8446  Economy / Speculation / Re: Effect of negative difficulty change on BTC price on: November 28, 2014, 04:27:09 PM
This becomes nitpicking, but OK.

Consider the fixed group of people who will mine "before" and "after" the difficulty drop.  Let X be a randomly chosen miner in that group.

For some choice X (say, Alice), the production will maybe increase, but for another choice of X (say, Bob), the production has to decrease.

Somebody has to switch of mining equipment to have the difficulty go down, otherwise it wouldn't go down.  

A miner is an entity that is hashing in an attempt to find a block and he is spending resources to hash.
If you treat Bob as two entities (Bob and Bob' where Bob keeps mining while Bob' quits) your problem reduces down to miners that keep mining and miners that quit.

Yes, that's obvious.
You could say that the mining units still running, will mine more coins, while they are consuming the same amount of power.  Only, there will be less units running.

If all miners in the world stop, and I keep my PC running, I mine all the coins in the world and my PC will even consume somewhat more (because I don't even run a mining software right now of course).

The important point is that in order for the difficulty to decrease, miners have to stop mining, or to decrease mining, and will hence consume also less or nothing any more.

My point was that if you considered the CHANGE for a given miner "before" and "after", you shouldn't subselect only the sample of those that kept mining.  The change for those that stopped mining was also a change: namely from mining (a lot) to mining less or nothing any more.

It would be like saying that soldiers become stronger and more victorious in war time.

No, soldiers that survive are maybe stronger and more victorious, but a lot of others died.  If you eliminate those that died, the balance of those surviving is not the "typical evolution" of a soldier in war time.  There are those that are victorious, but there are also those that die.  If you don't count them "because when they are dead, they are not an active soldier anymore", then of course war looks like a fun party for soldiers :-)

But I think we get each other's points.


 You really need to read some factual material.  If all miners stop mining and you fire up your PC, the odds are that you will get sweet f$ck all Bitcoins.  You will probably never mine a single block let alone the 2016 needed to get to a difficulty retarget.  For god sakes man you cant learn a subject by preaching about it.  READ:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty

You know, I was following what you said after your first post because price does seem to lead difficulty but that soldier analogy is just bizarre. Totally bizarre.

got my investment back and i still own 6TH. ROI and profit achieved within 30days. good luck folks!

edit: My bad, 5TH not 6TH

 How much did you start with?!  Must have been a lot.

i was thinking that myself on the amount of start up, to be able to roi in 30 days means you got alot power or got something for free to help ofset costs. In any case good stuff on roi so fast

I agree with puppet, why trust an exchange like Havelock that has been there for over two years. An exchange that is registered and complies with local securities regulators at the same location where they reside.  Provides fast support and a telephone number in case you need to reach them right their on their contact page.  Never had any major security issues since inception and provides a quality service to AM and AMHASH investors with no buy in fees and a low 0.4% sell fee.

 I agree that Havelock is the right choice for moving of the shares.  The platform already existed and the fees are nominal.  I don't believe AMHash would have realized any savings by going it on their own.

He said miners will mine more at the same expense, not just "more."  That is true if difficulty were to drop.  Individual miners will use the same electricity to produce more coins for the same cost in power.  

Miners will not "mine more at the same expense".  They will mine the same thing at less expense.
Individual miners cannot "produce more coins for the same cost of power" if not other miners "produce less coins for much less power".

Because the total number of coins mined must be the same.
If some use "the same amount of power" and hence "mine more", then that means that other miners mine less, and consume vastly less power (maybe stop mining all together).

Globally speaking, the miners mine the same amount of coins, and use less electricity.  The do not mine more coins with the same consumption.  Some do, and others mine less.  

That means that miners make more profits (or lose less money, depending where they come from).

The point is that it could be that those increased profits go into hodling coins.  That's the ONLY way in which difficulty can have an influence on the price: by increasing the demand for holding coins (by the miners themselves, because they want to allocate their profit in coins).


 If difficulty goes down then a miner will mine more coins with the same machine.  The same machine will obviously continue to use the same amount of power.  Not sure where you are getting your information but it is inaccurate.



I want some of whatever he is smoking. Almost had me convinced.

 I know! I had to read that a couple of times.  I'm pretty sure he could get a marketing job with BFL or KNC.

Unboxing of the BLOCK ERUPTER Prisma. I-am romanian so the video is in romanian language.

This is not advertising today i will make a video How to set up the prisma.

 Good quality video - any chance you could add English subtitles? 
How much does electricity cost in Romania -  I was thinking about shipping a Prisma to a friend in Bucharest but I don't want to kill him with the electricity bill!

damn, so apparently, FC (and boardmembers) prolonged absence could partly be explained by the fact that china has indeed restricted access to bitcointalk:

bitcointalk has been totally blocked by china interenet so i cannot login very often

are there anymore chinese people in here Huh


If FC can't figure out how to obtain a VPN connection, that really doesn't bode well for AM shareholders

Hi I have KNC Jupiter october Batch is there any downclocking instructions available.
Its 2000pages to look.If someone can share the info would give this miner little more life...


 Do you have a 4 or 8 VRM Jupiter?
 What firmware version are you currently running?
 Do you know how to use the vi editor?

Howīs it going there in the Havelock graveyard ?

Dividend dropping yet ?

Might be a buy when it has been sold down to .0008.

 If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy fellow.  Of course AMHash shares will drop as mining difficulty increases and dividends decrease - that's the point of this particular IPO.

I'd love to know how HF acquired a "provisional patent" considering no such thing exists.

What do you mean provisional patents don't exist? People file provisional patents all the time (at least in the USA). Am I misunderstanding you?

 There is no such thing as a provisional patent.  There is however a provisional application.  This particular application expires after 12 months and does not automatically mature into a patent.  In fact, the PTO (patent and trademark office) does not examine provisional applications.  A regular application must be filed within 12 months of the provisional application AND the provisional application must contain sufficient support for the regular application.  If they didn't do the provisional correctly, it wont help you and also you are running out of time (perhaps have already) to file a regular application.

so if i read last few post correct then, if btc is lets say at like $600 for example. Does this mean we would be getting dividend payouts of like .00001300 per GHS or am i assuming wrong. Once again i am makin up number not saying will be that on the dot lol so please dont cook me alive saying my math is of or blah blah blah haha  Grin

 No.  Bitcoin value on has an effect on the maintenance fee as that is converted from dollars to bitcoin and subtracted by the earnings.  The earnings are calculated as follows:

  The payout rate before fee subtraction is 25 / (difficulty * 4.295) BTC per unit per second.  <--no dollars in calculaltion

P.S. I won't "cook you alive" about your math but your spell check is off too.


LOL well thank you for advice/ input appreciate it. The spelling will never be good or proper will be good about 85% of time i say as english is my second language and i dont do translate service.

 Now I'm interested in the phrase "cook me alive".  How do you say it in your native language; it certainly isn't something we use in the English language.
