Can you root the Kindle fire and install a vanilla android on it (with access to market and all)? I kinda like the hardware, but would like it without the amazon drm crap.

I quit giving funds because of the .5% hidden fee  Project #2 was going to give 10% of the income to p2pool but I don't know now. I need to take some time and review it. I think this is a black make on p2pool I like giving donations, I don't like hidden fees How can I support something where people get money taken from then and not know it:( On one hand, we have ForrestV, who actually built something himself, from the ground up. Something thats incredibly innovative, (very) valuable to bitcoin and the community at large. Something that is open and opensource. No secrets, no lies. OTOH, we have a clueless Goat who has never done anything himself, but leaches off everyone else and thrives through secrecy and deceit. A goat that runs a mining business owned by his shareholders who are not being told where his farm is mining, who are not being told how much is truly being earned from pool hopping, who are not being told anything but who are paid dividends based only on fabricated numbers that dont come close to reflecting actual pool hopping profits. That same Goat now cries foul because someone ignorant may not read the readme and therefore unwittingly donate a small amount to someone deserving, yet he runs a hopping proxy, developed by people with the skills he lacks, a proxy that robs the poor and ignorant miners of prop pools from far more than 0.5%, yet he makes zero effort to educate those miners or protect them from their far larger losses because he pockets them, and not Forrestv. So that hypocrite is now going to pretend being the miners advocate, judging what an honest (and optional) donation fee is for ForrestV's hard work, most (or all?) of which is redistributed among the miners? |

Largecoin was confirmed by ttul to be s-asic, if I remember correctly.
I believe the current claim is that its a custom asic, but of course, whats in a name, a structured asic like fast path I guess is also "custom" and .. application-specific, and its an integrated circuit.. so, it wouldnt be a real lie. s-asic always seemed the obvious way to go to me, I was even convinced thats what BFL did. Compared to fpga, it seriously lowers per unit cost with reasonable volumes, it has good potential to lower power consumption considerably and the NRE is not nearly as extreme as with a full custom design. |

ASIC's are far too big of an investment for many people to make, at least at this time, when FPGA mining is just starting to take off.
Search for LargeCoin on this forum. May or may not be legit, but it appears someone has bit the bullet already. Asics (and to a lesser extend, s-asics) have been the prime reason I have not committed to FPGAs. At least GPUs I can resell to gamers, but its gonna be tough reselling your 80W BFL single's if asic based products really hit the market. |

Carlos - Pool hopping is not stealing.
Agreed. But lying is lying. |

This is what Im looking at: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-2k.pngAnd obviously not the 8 hour avg green line, but the 3 day estimate. Though variability is high enough to make firm conclusions impossible, its not quite what youd expect if 1.3 TH joined the network out of the blue. There is no spike up, its flat or down best I can tell. DrHaribo did have another hypothesis; rather than stealing blocks he suggested it might be possible for an attacker with a botnet to intercept a % of winning blocks of other pools to keep difficulty down. That would show up in stats eventually, but made me wonder why we arent using HTTPS on our miners to prevent such sabotage in the first place. |

Yes. I thought I made that clear. A 5% reduction in found blocks relative to expected is rare over a 10 day period but not impossible.
There are a lot of rare but not impossible things going on right now. Thats the point. But the fact the network block rate is not showing the increase you would expect from an extra 1+TH, either because of bad luck or because that 1TH is not new, is not the same thing as deepbit having calculated bad luck on their published stats. They are related to some extend given deepbits size, but its not the same thing. |
|
|
|
Never said you were an idiot but stating both bad luck and declining global hashing power is kinda silly.
Still having trouble distinguishing between deepbit and the entire network it seems. Or are you saying the entire network (except for the mystery miner) is being unlucky for over 10 days now ? |
|

People claiming hashrate is down AND their is bad luck like that is some coincidence are missing something ... there is no way to know hashrate we only know block completion time. Bad luck = longer blocks = lower estimated hashrate.  IM not entirely an idiot, Im talking about the global network hashrate, thats stable or slightly down, and deepbits luck based on its known hashrate is down too. Two different things. Deepbit is big, but its not the entire network yet. If 1+ TH comes out of the blue from a botnet or some asic provider, you could reasonably expect a decrease blocks time, at least until the next difficulty adjustment. Ive not seen anything like that. SIPA is showing a flat or downward trend over the time this mystery miner has been producing his blocks. So either its just a coincidence or this is not new, but existing hashing power thats being redirected or the blocks somehow "stolen". |

If your problem is power delivery over the PCIe bus, it might help. But I fear thats not your problem. For timing issues, it wont change a thing.
If you plug the cards straight on to the motherboard, I assume everything works fine, or not? If you disable crossfire, and try mining, does everything work then? If the answer to both questions is yes, then nothing is gonna fix I think. Maybe shorter cables.
|

This: - PCI extenders have the potential to introduce timing issues into the equation particularly for clock-locked (ie. SLI or Crossfire/Tri-fire) deployments.
For gaming, extender cables are probably a bad idea Im afraid. |

since you seem to be okay sending your wallet.dat to a friend, have him transfer the coins to your new wallet? Probably the easiest way.

More food for tinfoil hatters. Yesterday a guy called "sudo" showed up in bitminters IRC channel, bragging about his botnet and insinuated to be the mystery miner. Transcript below, he hadnt much to say, except for the only evidence he presented, a list of computer names, supposedly only a fraction of what he controls. Clearly, he could just be a pretender; if he really ran a botnet like that, there is absolutely zero reason for him to come and brag about it. but why would someone, even a pretender, come to bitminter channel (and only bitminter) of all places to brag about his botnet, while having absolutely nothing to say about it? Its the only channel I was in. His name being sudo (ie root), connected through a German node. Could of course all be coincidence, but let me suggest it might also be a desperate attempt to convince me that MM is a botnet after all, and not some clever ploy to steal blocks from deepbit (and possibly bitminter, remember, same host, same unbelievable bad luck): * sudo (~sudo@ip083064192089.rev.nessus.at) has joined #bitminter
<sudo> someon here?
<+DrHaribo> yep
<+DrHaribo> what's up? :)
<sudo> only single miner here or cluster mining talk allowed here?
<+DrHaribo> it's a pretty open channel
<+DrHaribo> and we have people with all sorts of mining setups
<+DrHaribo> what are you mining with?
<sudo> i guess u dont see that
<sudo> (---:
<sudo> u dont *want
<+DrHaribo> sounds ominous ;)
<P4man> is cluster mining an euphemism for botnet?
<sudo> .X
<sudo> hehe
<P4man> as much as I hate botnets in general, i think we could use one :_
<P4man> but thats just me
<sudo> u want see it?
<P4man> see what?
<sudo> i copy paste only 0.5 % of them
<sudo> http://www.copypastecode.com/185801/ password: mining
<sudo> have fun and enjoy :_X
<+DrHaribo> the next question must be... are you the mysery miner? :D
<+DrHaribo> *mystery
<P4man> not enough hashing power on that list I think.. unless he has more
<P4man> still sizable though.. wow
<sudo> [23:15:32:332] <sudo> i copy paste only 0.5 % of them
* sudo slaps P4man around a bit with a large trout
<P4man> dear god
<sudo> read well and try understand
<sudo> .X
<sudo> proof enough?
<P4man> well the mystery miner has new name it seems
<sudo> i do every day more than 1k usd
<sudo> .X
<sudo> LOOL
<P4man> there goes my theory of stolen blocks
<P4man> pity, I thought it was a neat idea :)
<P4man> I assume you are not looking for a pool with that kind of firepower
<sudo> so now someone intrested?
<P4man> in what?
<P4man> I might be interested in a demonstration though
<sudo> to b a member in my team
<P4man> can you point some of that to bitminter?
<sudo> no sir
<sudo> i have my own pool
<P4man> which isnt relaying transactions.. why not?
<sudo> i do ~1300 gigahashes/s
<sudo> i ahve my own pool
<sudo> only me and my other (friends)
<sudo> .X
<P4man> yes buts it not including transactions in the blocks
<P4man> I just wonder why
Meanwhile, overall network hashrate is still slightly down, deepbit is still at +40% average block length (bitminter possibly even worse, havent calculated) and MM is still mining one block after the other. If this keeps up for a few more days, I no longer believe in coincidence. |

Try a lightweight client, like electrum or multibit.

so I have tested all, but it is all time the same.
Now I see the cpu (Sempron 140) is at 100% while mining. Is this the bottleneck?
Oh, so all cards do show up in cgminer? Then yes, you could be running in to the infamous cpu % bug. Try this: export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 then run cgminer. If that doesnt work, is there a reason you arent using BAMT? |

I 'm checking my logs carefully, but don't see anything except for bad luck (and I have very good logs).
Shares are accepted, blocks are generated and approved by the network as they should. But what if. Assume MM has root access to your server. Could you think of a way that would allow him to build blocks with shares from your miners, without causing anything weird in your logs? |

semantics are meaningless!

BTC Guild luck has been pretty abysmal the last two days, but I'd still not call it fishy. Every pool has good days and bad days, we've just happened to have a few pools get their bad luck at the same time.
Yeah by itself its entirely plausible its just bad luck and I wouldnt read anything in to it, if it werent coinciding with this mystery miner. Even so Im not exactly convinced they are related, but its an intriguing (im?)possibility. |

Slush luck: 78%, 112%, 101%
1day, 7day, 30day
but it's been a really bouncy couple days.
Slush is 3x smaller. Anyway, obviously -45% can (and therefore, eventually will) happen, its not a statistical impossibility, its just seems to coincide with this mystery miner appearing. Add to that bitminter is seeing similar bad luck on the same host, and it begins to smell fishy. |
