9262  Economy / Lending / Re: Pawn your forum accounts! BTC Loans using your forum account as collateral! on: June 04, 2013, 05:47:59 PM
However, what sort of assurances are in place to make sure I get my account back after paying my debt?

Good question. For certain accounts I will allow the borrower to pay a percentage of the loan off, I would then give them back their forum account and they would pay the rest, if they don't pay the rest then the account will get a scammer tag.

If you wouldn't mind, can you please send me a pm to explain a bit more about how having the forum account benefits you? It's just curiosity because this (from my standpoint) doesn't make a lot of sense, but I'm definitely interested in hearing your side; maybe I'll learn something new!

What are benefits of mergemine?

You mine multiple coins at once (with the same hashes you already do).

9266  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Butterflylabs Huge SCAM on: June 04, 2013, 06:10:58 AM
I have purchased 2 butterfly lab ASICs. I purchased the first one a while ago and the second one more recently (which i feel is more of a mistake now). I still have faith they will deliver their units though as i read they had their ASICs linked to an android tablet mining at a bitcoin conference in the US for everyone to see. They have a few videos on youtube showing their concepts and I hear they have been waiting for their boards to arrive (supposedly).

I'm keeping my faith, although it does seem there are A LOT of speculation they are just running a long term scam. I can understand if they don't want to ship out all their mining rigs at once in fear of watering down the price of btc (and i guess it makes sense they're shipping out the low end 5GH/s models first then moving onto the higher end ones). Incredibly frustrating but patience is a virtue.

Really hope these do come to fruition!  Huh

I have not seen anyone say this and maybe its just me being stupid and I will accept that however whats to say that the android could be showing information from other units mining off grounds and having it just report on the tablet.

I can have my rig mining in the garage and have my tablet show I'm mining....

This was my first thought when I saw the video from the convention. If I had been there I would have asked if I could unplug the ASIC for a minute to see if it was really the one connected/hashing at the specified rate. Would be an easy test.

Dude, don't do that again! I just spent 30 minutes hunting an imagine that may, or may not have been what was on your mind after you got inspired by a post to do the exact same thing, but at least you had a keyword pool to resort to.
Ah HA! Found it! It was from back in the day when it was still called "Project Natal." So, please pretend this is actually how it went:

Yeah, I don't like the direction xbox is going. It was a game console, but now they're trying to make it an everything. I already have a computer

EDIT: Kinect is pretty cool, though.
I admit, Kinect is cool. I was really excited when they launched that.




LOL, that's awesome! Now I need to break out my Kinect and see if when I play naked it will mistake my boner for being an arm or something...
9268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devcoin on: June 04, 2013, 05:33:08 AM
Mark, is there any particular way how the receiver files are chosen-paid out (ie. based on seniority, amount due, alphabetical order, etc)?

It can probably be manipulated any time the number of lines or shares or whatever does not evenly divide into the number of blocks in a round.

Earlier in the file means more chance of getting used more times than later lines in the file get used, I think (By used I mean sent money.) Unless some other which line first system is used than just first line is first. I am not actually looking at the code as I write this.

When the number of lines was small each line got used lots of times per round so the slight edge one could get by being one of the odd lines left over that got into the last few blocks was maybe not so significant, but if for example we had 3999 lines so each line was one block but the first line was the last block to make the 4000 blocks of a round anyone on that first line would get twice as much as the people on the other lines.

So maybe at some point it willl be necessary to make the rounds longer (more blocks) or something to balance such asymmetries, or maybe long term it could be blaanced by rotating the sequence of the lines though that would onoy really work for long term beneficiaries.

So far I had just kind of shrugged at that since there were so few lines, used to many times each in the round, that it was like oh come on you are getting free money does that horse really need to be looked at in the mouth?

But if people start actually trying to live off their devcoin earnings, and the number of times a given line gets actually used during a round decreases, I expect people will be wanting to look that particular gift-horse in the mouth...

Maybe we could start by working out each time exactly how many lines will get used one time more than some other linesa, and use that slight difference caused by position in the file deliberately as a slight bonus or penalty, by having some system whereby it is chosen which lines exactly (admins? devtome authors? etc; and even which individual persons) get to be the ones that get used once more or once less than others...

-MarkM-


I thought a better idea would be to simply have the 45k per block sent to a central account. After the 4,000 blocks are finished, just divide the total (180m) of the coins by how many receivers there are. Then, say there were 180 so each is worth 1m. Bob had 5 shares, so you'd just send him 5m in a lump sum.

This way there's no overflow and everyone is given exactly what they should be.

Based on reading your post, it appears some people will get more coins than they should, which means others are getting less than they should.

If you get this resolved I'd love to hear how it is done as well. Working on related projects right now.
9270  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Branded Bitcoin Tablet Devices on: June 04, 2013, 05:23:28 AM
It needs a docking station with USB so one can connect their miners to it, be it ASICMINER, AVALON or BFL.

Yeah I was thinking for the miner app a fullscreen interface could show data and stats of the mining operation. I think it would be possible to create a dock, otherwise a basic USB connection and a custom case/stand could also work.

That would be awesome. And I'd go for the basic model. Don't really use tablets that much but think for the purpose of mining it'd be good.
9271  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: I'm the author of Bitcoin Miner on the Windows Store, let me know what you think on: June 04, 2013, 05:02:07 AM
Ah sorry - I've done some side by side:

When dealing with hardware that directly supports OpenCL (AMD w/ bitselect (BFI_INT) and rotate), cgminer/bfgminer will perform better.  This is because DirectCompute doesn't expose bitselect and rotate primitives.  If your hardware doesn't have bitselect/rotate acceleration, then Bitcoin Miner is pretty close and in several cases exceeds.  The main cases where Bitcoin Miner wins right now are:

1. Hardware that does not accellerate OpenCL bitselect/rotate
2. ARM CPU mining (ARM does have a vector bitselect, and rotate can be done in 2 instructions)
3. Hardware that has better DirectX than OpenCL support (i.e. NVidia)

As far as why this is - Microsoft currently does not allow Windows Store apps to call OpenCL APIs, the only GPU acceleration available to Windows Store apps is DirectX.  I am looking into a regular desktop version of Bitcoin Miner, but is there are only 24hrs in a day, and this is one of the reasons I am here to get feedback Smiley.

Thanks for the response! I'm definitely looking forward to what you come up with in the future. A CPU and GPU program would be awesome (instead of having to run two separate ones to achieve the same).

When clicking tournaments in the list, and looking on the bottom right side of the screen it has the options "GO TO" and "JOIN WAIT LIST." I think the bottom one should change to "Register" so you don't have to keep going to the lobbies to click Register.
9273  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: I'm the author of Bitcoin Miner on the Windows Store, let me know what you think on: June 04, 2013, 04:48:26 AM
ranlo: The goal of Bitcoin Miner is to make mining super easy. To that end it's completely GUI driven instead of command line.  It also supports ARM (non-Intel) versions of Windows like Windows RT.  Finally, it's the only DirectCompute/DirectX GPU miner out there which can be handy if OpenCL isn't available.  The ARM CPU mining performance is really decent too, I've gotten ~2.5-3 MH/s out of a Microsoft Surface RT (NVidia Tegra 3 ARM processor) @ 8W of power usage.

Oh, I got that part. I meant in regards to like hash rates, if anyone has run this and CGMiner to see how similar they are. I like the idea behind it, just curious mostly.

If you have 2 people left, and one asks to check it down, openly, I don't see any problem with that. The other person has no obligation to honor that. They could keep checking it down, until the last possible moment for action, and then that player pushes all-in if they want to. Neither is bound to honor 'check it down?'

Since they are the only two left active, and are open about it for all to see, what is the problem?

If they were colluding in private pretending to not be doing so I would agree, that's a problem and needs to be dealt with, but openly agreeing to check it down, I don't think counts as 'colluding'.

This kind of table talk I have seen lots of times at real tables. Most of the time when chopping blinds, where the last two remaining players ask and agree to an action.

If those two were doing so consistently, then maybe it would be worth investigating.

My 2 cents...

-- Smoov


This all depends on the people, really. In RL games I've seen times where the last 3-4 people in a tournament would just agree to split the pot according to estimated ratios. Some will split evenly. Sometimes people get infuriated at the idea of it.

Something I've learned from playing is that even though you may experience something being accepted in some rooms, others may have rules against it.

I agree, by the way, that agreeing between two people to check it down would NOT be colluding.

For the record, I got in trouble in one room because I was heads-up against someone and went all-in. He was taking forever to make his decision so I told him what I had and flipped over my cards to make it easier. I ended up being force-folded for it, although it was just me and him anyways.

This was a tough lesson, I'm sorry it happened. To help me learn from this event (and simultaneously admit my lack of knowledge), will Bitcoin QT wallet addresses send and receive? How about online wallets like Blockchain.info or Coinbase.com)?

I think Bitcoin QT and Coinbase do (BQT should, and Coinbase had a FAQ where others said it worked fine). I'm thinking I read somewhere that Blockchain.info doesn't though.

What most people say to do is send the smallest amount possible as a test.

Don't worry. I'm still a newbie as well! There is a massive amount to learn, and you are likely to win and lose along the way. Just take everything as a lesson, learn from it and you will be better off than most others.

Amen!  Well put :-)

Thanks, :p. The way I see it as long as you're learning from mistakes they're alright to make. It's when you make the same one over and over that you have a problem.

9278  Other / Off-topic / Re: Xbox One on: June 04, 2013, 04:16:24 AM

Yeah, it's like when Valve fanbois go around saying you only have to login once, I still have to login in order to play the game and use my internet connection, that doesn't make it any less unreasonable if I have to do it once, nevermind the fact that the offline modes are always shit. No one dictates to me when I can and can't use software on my computer, especially if I've paid for it.

I've found the convenience a good trade-off for having to load up Steam before playing your games.  It only takes about 10 seconds to load up on my PC so I've never really been bothered by it.  I'm rarely offline tho so I have no idea if Steam offline is a pain in the ass, however, I have lost my connection while playing games from Steam, and the only time that pissed me off was when my Civ 5 game suddenly decided it had to quit to menu because I went offline, which I found odd, as I was playing single-player offline...but no clue what that was about.

But anyway, having all my games in one spot and being able to reformat and download them again easily is something I can deal with, not to mention the deals they're always having.

Oh, and indie games, which Microsoft pretends to care about but really doesn't.  Also, no ads, except for games, which are the ads I actually want to see, which, in the case of Microsoft, is why I want to beat my (brother's) 360 with a fucking bat.  And then there's the Microsoft online service for PC which is a fucking pain in the ass, especially when you have both that and the Steam overlay going at the same time which is stupid and why do I have to input a CD code for a digitally downloaded game off Steam directly into Microsoft's overlay?  They don't really still believe CD codes actually stop pirating, do they?  And then after hearing the news about KreepyKinect and ghost-discs + activation fees...

Anyway, my point is, fuck Microsoft Tongue

It's even easier to just back up your games on to an external drive. Then it's a matter of minutes after reformatting before you're good to go again.

A lot of people don't get the problems some of us have with online requirements, but if you're like me and live in the middle of nowhere, there are many times where I have no Internet. It goes out sporadically as well.

i really appreciate the trust some lenders have in BFX lending used for the next 5 millions years is something you dont see every day  Grin

More like 20k years but I was about to ask if this is an error or not, lol. I think maybe it calculates the total loan period of all loans.
