d'oh, I hadn't reset it yet and someone started.... and I got the 1/100 chance of the share..    still putting together a p2pool-node list =/

oh, it's set to wrong name, anyway... have to use payout address  

ok, i think the whole interrupt thing should be fixed now, and it's set back to 0%

ed:  haha, figures that hetzner's network starts messing up right after i fix that.  it's definitely reissuing the work faster now though, so no 1-2 second delay there if it goes 90 seconds w/o anything.  at least when hetzner isn't getting 20% ploss and 400ms ping times

I thought about it some more...  since this behavior should be common to all p2pools (stratum "interrupted" after a 90s period of no block/new work), mine shouldn't cause a disconnect/lockup/whatever any more (or less) frequently than any others.

Maybe latency has something to do with it?  A really small window for stratum to reconnect?     If you're in the US, 198.12.127.2 should have low latency...  I'll drop the fee on it to 0%, anyway (ed: in about 10-15 minutes, have to check log and redo --p2pool-node's and such)... if ANYONE wants to mess with it.  

I assume that port 9332 works, though it does seem a bit odd that not one person has mined on there in 2-3 weeks though

ok, done.  i changed something in the code that might or might not do something as well

198.12.127.2:9332, has 0% fee now

ed: i just tested it myself.  had the 90s delay, didn't get an interrupted on my vid card, so i think i fixed it.  i'll reset 5.9.24.81 in a bit and put it back to 0% for a while

Generally the way these things work is that the person on the receiving end opens the packaging, examines the merchandise, makes sure the merchandise is in proper condition & behaves as expected, then pays.  This is also what would happen w/ any form of escrow (except in that case, the person that received the escrow funds would then release them, rather than the original buyer).

'Playing' with it happens later, if at all.

For someone that has so much eBay feedback, I'm surprised such a basic concept could fly right over your head like that.

If you find someone that's willing to pay you first, then good luck on not getting a chargeback later on.

retracted.   amt i offered was way too high.

do they come in fancy packaging?  or is it such that it'd be impossible to tell if someone had actually opened a unit up and used it?

these will make about .02 bitcoins next difficulty level, which starts in about 36hrs.  deduct 20-30% from that for each 11 days following

30-39 is a pretty wide range.  How many watts does it take to power each cube (did I miss it listed somewhere?)?

i'll pay $800-$1400 for 4, depending on elec usage & whether I'd get 30ghash or 39ghash cubes

Not like they'd even know what values to put in there...

One example being how the difficulty level changes in about 36 hours & not compensating for that by changing starting diff  (it'll be at 600m before this ends)

seems llike 80-90% of the people that "win" these asics have forum accounts that were created in 2013.   

though in nearly all of these cases.. by winning, you're losing.  fancy

that's what they are, yes. 

is "bobsag" a shill bidder?  that can't be for real, right?

i'll offer the lowest of USD $400 or 1 bitcoin for two of them, based on the price of BTC when auction ends on Monday

yeah, it's been around 30% for a month or two now

no, i like your outgoing connections =p

I think this is caused by the stratum interrupts when the p2pool doesn't find a new share for 90 seconds?

It says something about it when I have my video card pointed there too, stops for about 1/2 a second also, but i'm using some .. 6 month old version of cgminer

maybe it works properly now, i dunno

but that's when it happens.  when there is no new block or no new share for 90 seconds

ed: it should be common to any p2pool?  my video card starts back up right away on cgminer 3.3.4, it just says stratum connection was interrupted and then restarts

You expect the bids on there right now to be reputable accounts?  eBay doesn't allow you to stop people with 0 feedbacks from bidding anymore

just saw this on slickdeals:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127663

it's no R290X for $150 less than it should be, but still a really nice deal if you're the type that isn't too lazy to do rebates

yeah, but if you are trying to run a node locally and are bandwidth starved, that's something you should do.  

otherwise you'll either randomly connect to an outgoing peer that is missing part of the block chain or have one connect to you.  then your upstream is saturated

i think it's not so bad in other parts of the world, but in the US, you really get gimped on upstream

for KNC Miners I'm referring to the mercury, saturn, jupiter.  i assume some mercury and saturn units are out there, just only see jupiters on here.

i'd much prefer to do local pickup, but if someone trusts me enough to send me the unit then have me pay, i'd be fine with that.    i could also arrange for a local pickup within 100 miles or so of memphis, tennessee or tulsa, OK

can pay it all in cash.  though obviously if it was something like a jupiter, it would require some extra steps (re: not going to meet up with some stranger with $5000 cash in my pocket)

anyway, PM me if you have anything and might be interested & what you're looking for.   i also have some used computer equipment that i could trade w/ as well as usd (two 750 watt gold cert psus, 1250 bronze cert psu, 920 silver cert psu, 2x850 watt bronze cert psu, msi 990fxa-gd80 mb, two evga 680i sli mb, some other motherboards, 3x 5870s, 2x 5830s, 1x 6990, 2x 7790, 1x 7770, 1x 7850 2GB, 1x 7850 1GB, 1x 7970, 6x8GB ddr3 sticks, 3x2GB DDR3, some other misc DDR3 memory, dozens of fans inc. some silverstones etc, asus rt-n66u router, switches, monitors, motorola sb5100 surfboard cable modem, couple DSL modems I don't recall the brand for, some new in box ibm model m 1391401 keyboards, and on and on and on).

ed:

ok, i'll give some starting points, since some people think i'm gonna pay over $1200 for a 60ghash machine

I just got rid of one for ~$1050 (or more like $1100 now).  I'm not going to pay $1200 (or $1400) for one.  Try something like $800

I'm not going to pay $10,000 for a Jupiter

I'm not going to pay $400 for some PoS 12ghash thingamajig

hmm, i remember talking to you about that avalon unit before, but I don't remember where you said you were located...  for some reason I'm thinking it was in the dallas area?

i might be interested in all four if it was pickup in person (obv would want a discounted price)

no,

blockchain.info needs to stop presuming that 5.9.24.81 is deepbit

'cause this is becoming a recurring problem...  and i'm not deepbit, anyway

lol

even if they were at .2BTC each, they'd never pay for themselves........... unless bitcoin price went up a lot

but then you'd be better off buying bitcoins

the only way they'd ever make .2 bitcoins in their lifetime is if bitcoin price was to plummet & thus cause difficulty level to drop.  even if difficulty dropped to 20% gain per cycle, it'd take, what, thousands of years to get .2 bitcoins ?

yeah, spot on.

Something in a similar thread about how the guy was 'getting close to ROI' on his ASIC he purchased x months ago because bitcoin price has gone up 2x... and I thought to myself, yeah, but if you had bought bitcoins at that time, you'd be up 2x instead of just struggling to get your purchase price back.

the purchase of mining gear (at a reasonable price, ofc) would be the best move to make if you think bitcoin price will remain stable
