1  Economy / Service Discussion / POLL: Is Mt. Gox Solvent? on: February 15, 2014, 07:56:12 PM
Is Mt Gox being honest about the source of it's withdrawl problems (namely, bank money transfer issues and tx malleability attack) or is the company hiding the fact it's lost customer bitcoins and funds?

Will the announced technology fix allow the company to resume normal operations and pay out all customer funds?  Or does the company have less assets than customer account balances and be forced to liquidate (through a bankruptcy, lawsuit, or other legal process)?

If the "wisdom of crowds" is to be believed, the result of this pool should help determine the proper discount to apply to Mt Gox BTC.

H/T: A similar poll being conducted at:

jgarzik's python-bitcoinrpc (https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc produces following error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect_to_remote'

Which bitcoinrpc python library do you suggest?

Thanks

on aws but still get no connection as for the moment

Amazon AWS 8 cpu EC2 Unbuntu instance running daemon, but not maintaining connections to nodes.  Watch indicates 2 connections exist after starting daemon, but after approximately one minute 0 connections are indicated.

Seeded .conf with list of specific nodes outlined in first post of thread.

Any one having trouble running on AWS?

LITTLE ACTIVITY ON THIS THREAD/BOARD.  NOT A GOOD SIGN FOR THIS COIN.  AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION MIGHT HELP PROVIDE CONTEXT FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN DEUTSCHE EMARK.

last friday we started one of the new german altcoins

1. What do you mean "one of the new german altcoins"?  Was use of the phrase "one of" a translation artifact or are there other German Altcoins?  Or Altcoins that are particularly popular in Germny?

2. What is the cryptocurrency scene and popularity like in Germany compared to other countries (US, China, Japan, etc.)?  Specifically other countries in Europe?

Thanks
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Freicorn Mining on P2Pool: Experiencing over 50% dead work on: December 17, 2013, 04:25:19 AM
Mining Freicorn on P2Pool with ASICMiner Blade (10.7 GH/sec).  Experiencing large number of dead "work" indicated on stats page http://p2pool.org:9933/static/graphs.html?Day.  (The red graph line is about 50% the hight of the blue total line-- mean of 847 MH/sec vs 580 MH/sec.)

Believe this means over half my submitted work is being rejected.  Why?  What, if any, adjustments can I make.  The Blade's interface does not offer any options and the blade has it's own ethernet port which communicates directly with the pool which means I don't believe I can access a controller to make adjustments?

Thanks

Thanks, but that Digi-Key fuse breaks at 50 amps; isn't that far higher than the board could ever receive from the type of PC PSU's we're all using?

Will this fuse protect against current running in opposite polarity (+/ground reversed)?
9  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: November 23, 2013, 04:46:27 AM


ASICMiner Configuration page indicates hash rate is ~2GH, yet Bitminter's stats monitor page indicates my blade is producing 10-11GH.  (Bitminter accepts get work protocol and I am not using stratus proxy.)

When the Blade first powers up the GH and efficiency increase to a max of between 4 and 6 (with efficiency getting as high as 70% on occasion).

PSU Configuration: Using the recommended Molex from two different rails with doubled-up ground wires on each of the two ground pins.  Have tried different PSU's, from inexpensive to mid-priced and different rails and power pin combinations.  Results are always the same.  GH's race up to 4-6GH, then quickly erode to ~2GH with Bitminter's GH measure stabilizing at 10-11GH.

Which is correct measure of hash rate?  Blade's own Configuration page or Bitminter's stats monitor?

any blades/backplanes ordered

Price of backplanes (no other mention of them in this thread but for the comment above)?  Thanks

Where to purchase a replacement fuse for version 2?  (The tiny, non-automotive fuse pictured in this thread.)

Blew my board's fuse and am using a small piece of conductive aluminum to bridge the open fuse socket for now, but would sleep better know I had a fuse in their instead.

Thanks
