I think lending services like this are a great way to help build the Bitcoin economy.  Good work.

args is a dict. args = {"someparameter": "value of the parameter"}, thats why it does not work.

As much as I like python, but one has to admit that languages that use static typing do have certain advantages.
A simple if check or catch TypeError would be all that is needed to make a nice error message.  Static typing isn't needed for that.  And also, Adding Optional Static Typing to Python

Also, cython does allow setting types.
884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bootable USB with Ubuntu for Mac - UNetBootin (device will not boot off mac) on: April 01, 2012, 07:11:31 AM
It won't be readable in Mac OSX because it is an ext2 partition.  Mac's read NTFS, and read/write HFS+ and FAT and a few others, but not EXT2 which is what unetbootin is writing.

If you hold down COption during startup then you should be able to see any bootable disks that are plugged in.

FTFY

Boot your computer holding down C to boot strait to CD.

Although I haven't had any luck booting Ubuntu on my Air.  It just leaves me at a black screen Sad If you succeed, let me know.

The switch-over happened about an hour ago, and we lost about 10% of our hash rate, for the time being. In the future, the P2Pool software will display a large warning when another change like this is going to happen in the future. In addition, if you don't know about it, there's this mailing list that I post important announcements to: http://groups.google.com/group/p2pool-notifications

Yay, now we have P2SH! Is there any interest in P2Pool allowing P2SH payouts?
Forgive my n00b-ness in my lurking, but; what is P2SH?
BIP 16... How can you not have heard about BIP 16?
886  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - The most advanced Bitcoin Client in existence! (v0.60-alpha) on: April 01, 2012, 06:50:12 AM
Got another feature request.  I'm not sure what to call it, but it should work something like p2pool's patron_sendmany.  I regularly want to send amounts to multiple wallets.

For example, every couple weeks I want to send X BTC to the donation address, Y BTC to an exchange deposit address, and Z BTC that gets divided up by varying percents to be sent to my offline wallet, my GLBSE address, and any number of other places (and then a fee for the miners).

This would be nice if you could send to an exact address or a wallet you own.  It would be like being able to save a transaction for rebroadcast, but with possible different amounts that are quick and easy to set.  When I click "make a transaction like this one" (or whatever you decide to call it), it would prompt for X, Y, and Z and the percents, but they would all default to be whatever they were last time.


Also, I found a small bug.  When building a transaction, I pasted the value that I wanted to send into the text field.  I hit send, but the fee wasn't high enough.  I did the math to subtract the new fee, hit command + A to select all in the text box, and hit paste with my new value.  I then hit send and it told me the value wasn't formatted properly.  I looked at the amount and I think that because the text field only shows at most 8 characters, the select all didn't get the amount and it was pasted as 3.3.12345678.  I couldn't tell without selecting the text field and moving the selection to the left.  I think making that text area larger would be helpful.


2 of my transactions have told me "The transaction that you just executed, does not appear to have been accepted by the bitcoin by the bitcoin network."  The first had the default 0.0005 fee, and the other is the transaction I mentioned in the bug above.  I simply clicked the "Copy Raw Tx" button and sent it through http://bitsend.rowit.co.uk/.  I should have at least 10 mintues (although an hour might be better) just to see if it did actually get broadcast.  I'll do that next time.  Also, I don't think there needs to be a comma in that error message.


I'm excited to try out the mmap branch once it's re-released for alpha testing.

They should stop that.  It is silly. 
Agreed.  What is wrong with asking for a withdrawal address when the user makes the account.

why are you changing core speed and voltage in profiles 0 and 1??  this is probably why it's unstable.

...Isn't that what you are suppose to do? I don't really understand how the profiles work... Embarrassed
And would that affect the voltage problems?
Go back and re-read page 24.
Read it three times now. I'm assuming the point of the profiles is to downclock or rest while no work is being done?
So would something like this work?
Code:
gpu0:


  disabled: 0

  core_speed_2: 970
 
  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300

  core_voltage_2: 1.195
 
  fan_speed: 70

  kernel: phatk2

  kernel_params: BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=14
Yeah, that looks good to me.  Aggression 14 does seem a bit high, tho.
Changed Aggression on both cards from 14 to 11. Still not working. Voltage is still stuck at 1.163

overvolting in linux is more limited than windows.  probably just cannot be done.

however, by using correct settings you will probably find it isn't necessary.

11 is a reasonable aggression.  14 is pretty crazy.  plus you were messing with profiles 0 and 1.
I think you have much more stability now, without needing to screw around the voltage.
Oh yeah.  aticonfig will only overvolt so far in Linux.  1.163 is the max written in the card's BIOS and so it won't ever go higher than that (in Linux).  If you want to go higher (not sure you actually need to), then you need to flash the GPU which is a bit more work.

Some long term miners are actually undervolting now.  Getting a few more MH/s isn't usually worth the decreased life of your card from heat.

I PM'd everyone in the list but no one has responded if they have updated their software for the BIP16 transition. It would be nice if those running public nodes post in the thread that they've updated and I could add BIP16 to their connection information.
Sorry I didn't reply.  My nodes are (and have been) up to date.

@Goat:
So, is the trading bot already operational or are you waiting for all your initial shares being sold?

We expect to be fully operational in one week and expect to be paying dividends in 2 to 3 weeks.  This is not guaranteed.

Hasn't quiet been a week yet, but it doesn't seem like he is waiting for all the shares to sell.  Selling all of them would increase his ability to move more funds around, though.

Are you on track to be operational soon, Goat?

894  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to do document timestamping with the block chain? on: March 31, 2012, 06:02:46 PM
In order for this to work, ... If you hash a whole bunch of documents together, than all of those documents will need to be available to the third party.  This seems like it would be a problem.
The "master document" need not actually be all the day's collected documents - just a list of their hashes.  i.e. on day X at time Y in block B, a transaction occurred to a private key equal to the hash of master document Z, which therefore existed at that time.  In document Z, presented here Your Honours, we can see that there is the hash of "bob's_contract_of_employment.doc" exactly as shown here.
But how do you have a master document without having to trust anyone? What happens if the person with the master document disappears? IMO, one great part of bitcoin is the complete lack of need to trust a centralized party, but with a system with a "master document" you have created a centralized party.
895  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory - The most advanced Bitcoin Client in existence! (v0.60-alpha) on: March 31, 2012, 05:42:01 PM
I'll test it in Mac and some linux VMs with varying RAM for you once it is ready.

Hopefully I'll figure out these mac compile issues, too.

Sent another bitcoin for the next charity: http://blockchain.info/tx-index/3608083/6785f705b690e34fa0fe5a890b4a42615e62ce772adc632a0b4af8a832f73b3a
Did you mean to post this in the Bitcoin 100 topic?
897  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: BAMT Issues on: March 31, 2012, 01:07:52 AM
Using cgminer or phoenix?

/opt/bamt/stop_mining will kill the miners

I'm speaking of autofan for phoenix , where do i setup this 
I dont think phoenix has autofan.
898  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1437 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); supporting p2sh! on: March 31, 2012, 12:43:21 AM
I've actually noticed a bigger difference based on the duration of the round and I'm right around 2ghash.  I'll average about .07 on most rounds, but on shorter round, generally under 5 minutes, I'll average around .03.

The only reason I haven't said anything sooner is because this conversation has come up before.  And it was generally attributed to pool hoppers.

If the hoppers contributed to the total share of the initial 5 minutes, they increased pool's hashrate thus contributed to the success of finding the block.

But where do those hoppers go leaving the pool? solo?

I believe the hoppers move to PPS pools
899  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: BAMT Quick Start Guide For Newbies! on: March 29, 2012, 04:09:48 PM


If you do want to set the clock speeds then scroll down to you see
core_speed_0 : ####
etc and plug in your speeds and take of the "# "




no, no, no

A number of people have been locking up their cards this way lately.  Silly me to think miners would know what the ATI profiles are for.

*Do* *not* change  anything except profile 2, except in very specific situations.  If you don't know why you need to change profile 1 or 0 (rare) then *do* *not* change them!  You will lock up your rig or cause it to be unstable at a much lower clock rate than is normal.


They are commented out (disabled) in the config for a reason.  Don't uncomment anything, ever, unless you know why.

I'm LodCrappo, and I appove of this message.
I believe lowering mem clocks, which is incredibly common, requires setting all 3 profile levels.  You will have problems if you try and have your memory at 1000, 1000, and 280.
900  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How to do document timestamping with the block chain? on: March 29, 2012, 06:46:04 AM
In order for this to work, the timestamp has to be easy to verify by a third party.  Keep that in mind when designing your system.  It can't be 100% trusted if it relies on any more than the document and the blockchain IMO.  If you hash a whole bunch of documents together, than all of those documents will need to be available to the third party.  This seems like it would be a problem.
