1  Economy / Services / Re: [1 BTC for simple electronic circuit (PWM to tach signal with 555-timer IC) on: May 05, 2013, 03:48:07 PM
What you're after is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator. Something a 555 can be made to do.
Feed said VCO with the PWM signal after said signal has been turned into an analog voltage by a RC network, and presto.
You are not likely to get 0-733Hz easily without a microcontroller, though.

I've yet to run into a motherboard fan header that cared about getting a TACH signal back when it's putting out PWM, or one that used any feedback.
Every board I have worked with, used, benched on, or reviewed the PWM output % has been based solely on CPU core temperatures, nothing else.
The health monitoring section wants to see something on the TACH pin, but as long as it's over ~250RPM it doesn't care either.
My experience is that the mainboard does not command the fan to run at X RPM at all, it simply says "Run 50% duty cycle!". This is backed up by the duty cycle for a given core temperature being the same regardless of whether I'm using a fan that does 700-2000RPM or 0-6000RPM. All the motherboard/mainboard cares about is core temps and duty cycle.

EDIT:
Built one, it works pretty nicely but gives a fairly narrow frequency output. Some mucking with it will clearly be required.

lol yeah, I bet!  The real question is, are stealth miners built for use on your own computer?  Well.... no.  They're built for installing at work, at the library, etc.
You know, illegal theft of computer time.  People have gotten in serious trouble for that running FAH and Rosetta@home, and that's not for financial gain.

Yup, a couple times even.

That really depends on how you look at it.  A tool for sneaky USB drive installation and a total stealth miner is rather like saying that your easily concealed x-ray invisible switchblade knife is ok because it's just built to be easy to use.

I mean honestly, what do you think this is going to be used for?

Litecoin BotNet edition?

You on the other hand can't go one day without an intelligent thought. Ooo burn. Get back to studying for your highschool stuff and forget about adult conversations until you are one.

CoinHunter, please read your the above sentence again. I guess you can go many days without an intelligent thought. Maybe you are the one that shoud "get back to studying for your highschool stuff and forget about adult conversations until you are one."

Maybe he already is an adult conversation?  That'd make him pretty special, after all.
Anybody can have adult conversations, not anybody can be an adult conversation.



Personally I definitely want ch/rs/whateverhe'scallinghimself in control of SC, it's hilarious watching him thrash around like a fish with a water shortage.

Also— please take care here, Luke did not roll back anyone's transactions or double-spend or anything like that.  He's simply mining all the blocks and not processing more transactions.

Assuming the first statement is true (which is quite the assumption), the second is hilarious!

It's ok to run a DDOS on alt coins now?

If I hadn't already left Eligius when I realized his wiki flat out lied about his payout methods (may have been fixed now, I don't know, I'm not coming back) I'd certainly leave now.

WTF is wrong with this forum?

So when BCX did it all was good because he was attacking Solidcoin and you didn't like Coinhunter but now you all get pissed off because someone else did it to CoiledCoin?
Talk about duality of criteria...

BEX did it (assuming he really did) by himself.

LukeJr used a bunch of other people in his pool.
That's a pretty big difference IMO.

They're both scum though.

Bout time for SC3, isn't it?
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: can Geistgeld be merge mined on: January 01, 2012, 04:58:44 PM
Could?  Almost certainly.
Should?  Absolutely not.
There are already longpolls every few seconds, GG would drop that to fractions of a second.  No thanks.

Capitalizing the first letter of the username fixed it, now it can connect!
Interesting, as the view-your-balances link doesn't care about capitalization at all.

Phoenix isn't very happy and doesn't seem to be delivering work very well, but I suspect that is an issue at my end.

Thanks for the help!
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitparking Merged Mining Pool (PPS, 35G/s, BTC, NMC and I0C) on: December 31, 2011, 12:45:34 AM
Made an account, but I cannot connector to it with a miner.
If I put the username into the page to check my balances it comes up correctly, but I get an RPC Invalid User error when I try to point a miner at it.
14  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: November 15, 2011, 10:01:27 PM
The female bit makes sense to me, it explains quite nicely why BEX expects other people to do all the work.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Congrats Solidcoin, 2nd most valuable cryptocurrency. on: November 11, 2011, 12:16:08 AM
btc-e.com converts a number of them directly to USD.

Compile your own copy of ArtForz's minerd, with the proper SSE/AVX flags for your CPU.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What effect will changing the block size from 32 to 5 have on SC? on: November 03, 2011, 07:56:10 PM
The pot can call the kettle black and still be correct.  The fact that the pot is black as well doesn't change the kettles color.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SolidCoin v2.01 Released on: November 03, 2011, 07:54:20 PM
Source released and price pump up and now dropped again.
Something wrong with "economical changes".
SC Block price =  0.05 btc
LTC Block price > 0.40 btc
8x  Grin
Someone want to mine (e.g. support) SC? Grin


Could you please Not Chime in with your 2c's like that, Your getting us all called trolls
You are all trolls, a bunch of pathetic ones at that.

You got all these geniuses thinking they can "pump & dump" SC like it's Bitcoin. Wait till they find out just how seemingly impossible that task has become with SC2 Smiley.

Are you suggesting it'll be harder and harder to dump SC?  I believe that's also the current consensus, too Wink

Although you think SC is the pie in the sky, you don't realize RS/SC has alienated much of the cryptocurrency base.  With SC going further and further down on BTC-e, it's going to be that much harder to arouse interest again.  No adoption = worthless coin, no matter how much brown you have on your nose.  A (partial?) source release weeks after the chain has gone live does nothing to alleviate the concerns many people have when it comes to SC, and that's beside the intentional centralized design.

Unless you're suggesting there are other folk out there who are tired of carrying around paper fiat, but still want to be screwed over by a central authority.


I want to see people try to "Pump & Dump" the network Smiley.

That term, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

In short, you first buy cheap (like, now), then "pump" by making lots of positive statements about the stock (coin, whatever), if you do it right the price rises and you then "dump" by selling all your stock (coins) at the new improved higher price.

Voted.

I tried march=native, it didn't do any better than just using SSE2 for me.
Specifying all the SSEs as well as AVX (I was using a 2600k) made a big difference.
You seem to have misunderstood the thread. It's about Amazon EC2 computing. I.e rented computers, not a personal computer.

If march=native doesn't detect high level SSEs and/or AVX, it doesn't detect it.
Doesn't matter what the computer is being used for.
