I guess you missed the point about asking for... HELP!! If i meant to pay for this "help" i wouldn't call it help. I'd asked for someone to do something for me in exchange of same sort of payment...
2  Bitcoin / Project Development / Need some help with php and mysql on: September 10, 2014, 11:25:33 PM
Hi guys, anybody with php and misql knowledge that could give me a help? I have an auction website and i'm going to have bitcoin payments through bitpay. I implemented the button but i don't know how to have the response of payment received, and then update the user acount in the database. Also have another payment gateway that needs some php with the same problem. Can anyone give me a hand with this? I really need some help, i'm delaying the launch of the website because of this, i don't want to have just the paypal option...

Thanks in advance,
Tiago Vasconcelos

You think so? Well they are doing pretty good actually...

Just for some facts...

If the base for EU was charity, solidarity between members, well... there even should be a germany. or portugal, spain, etc... no nations. all was a part of the same, the european union. I guess that nationalist tendencies are stronger then that.

Yeah...i know!!
Those stupid 3rd world countries, right? They take your money? I believe those countries are paying, with interest, the "loans"!! It seems that Germany is getting richer in the middle of the crysis...that's odd, shouldn't you be poor fellows that are paying for PIGS?!!
And by the way, how on earth is supposed to be a european union if there's no union? there shouldn't be a germany, or a spain, or any other country... there should be an european union, right? you are buying these countries, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Italy. And you don't want to pay?!? WTF?! That's a great business!! What if these countries left the euro?? where would you be? fuc.ed !!! The thing is, you need the PIGS, and that's why you are LOANING money at ultra high interest rates. You will get your money, and half the countries too!! and own the people, and get your cheap workforce... that's what you are doing. Cheap workforce for the EU.

Also, you are bailing banks out... not countries!! You're not giving money to me, that's for sure. In fact i never asked for nothing... it was imposed to us by... guess what... germany!! I'm paying the highest taxes in EU, have 10% unemployment, it is getting worse every month, next year it's going to be a complete disaster.

So my big thanks to you!! For "bailing me out all day, every day".


ps: by you i mean your country. no personal attack, ok?

@greyhawk: Yes, good thing the US is not bankrupt... and also has nothing to do with the current debt crisis!! Then again, can you explain to me why should the government take from 8 to 44.5% on half of the profit i make selling MY house? Did they lend me the money?? NO! Did they help with the payments? NO! And it's not tax evasion... I still sell the house for €100 (€1000/€5000 whatever i should want) and pay my taxes over that. BTW how do i declare BTC in my tax papers? Is there a new tax form for BTC? Do YOU declare your BTC? Do you declare the ones you sell? The one's you buy? Please don't give me this BS moralist talk about tax evasion. And WTF do you know about countries (states... as you so wisely called them) in bankrupt?

Why should it be received as a gift? Can't i own BTC? Hell, does anyone give a fu.. ? Does anyone even know what it is? I wasn´t planning on cashing out those BTC immediately, at leats not all...  

@deathandtaxes: That's the kind of answer i was looking. haven't thought about that. Your absolutely right... So it would have to be a compromise with the buyer and the owner to come to a value they both agreed, right? That was fair for both. Can i just deal in BTC, and have the house transfered to the buyer? (this i think is not that simple)
6  Economy / Goods / Is it possible to sell a house? on: March 26, 2013, 10:30:29 AM
Hi, i've been wondering... Is it possible to sell a house for BTC ?

I have 2 houses, bought way back, when the market was all about facilitating credit and such. In face of the crisis, i've had some very fuc.. up times. I'm better now, the payments are stable, and i'm starting to stable my accounts too. I live in Portugal, the real estate market is dead, so no one is buying, or the one's that are buying are making the deals of their lives. People are desperate and the ones that have the money are buying really cheap.

I tried to sell one of my houses a few years back, but no been able to get a reasonable deal. People have to go to the bank to get credit and all they got was a kick in the ass. Thought of having an auction, or a lottery to sell the house (people have done it here), the thing is, if you want it to be legal, and don't have taxes officers knocking on your door, you have to pay 30% of what you make on the lottery to the government. Thieves in suits...

So was it possible to say, sell my house for bitcoins (an agreed amount), and then for what taxes are worth i'd sell the house for a symbolic price, let's say €100?

Sorry i don't know the technical words for this...

BOINC uses replication and validation.
8  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Project idea on: February 27, 2013, 01:21:24 PM
Thanks for your replies.

What i was aiming for was to override that data transfer. The server would hold all the data and just use nodes processing power.
@killerstorm, what do you mean about honesty?

@sukrim, ok, i thought that you could just harvest processor power. The goal was to bypass that letting go of sensitive data, that in a commercial renderfarm is guaranteed. they are the ones that host the files and render them "in house", and take responsibility for it. encrypting the data beeing rendered would be a way to go. But as i said i'm not a developer and know nothing about what goes behind the render button. I just press it and waaaaaaaaiiiiiitttttttt!!! i'm guessing you know what i mean!

I'll check that homomorphic thingy you said. I may not be an expert in anything, but i like to be informed.
BTW, i already checked renderfarm.fi, but thanks anyway.
9  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Project idea on: February 27, 2013, 12:42:44 PM
Well, i know BURP. The thing is, BURP isn't a payed service, at least i think it's not. From where would you pay users? My goal was to do something like BURP but in a commercial style. A renderfarm. Where people could submit their work, and the farm renders it for them in exchange for a fee. Witch then was distributed to the workers. Much like a pool does, it works on the block with the miners power and distributes the profit.
A renderfarm, with the GPU/CPU miners, that like me are being put out of business by the ASICs.

I've looked into BOINC, but it sends the worker a bunch of files for it to work on. My idea was, if possible (i'm not a developer), to bypass the download of sometimes massive data (textures, files, images, apps, etc...) and just use processing power over the wan. When you render an image, it gets chunked into buckets, like the block is chunked, and for example on a dual core cpu you get 2 buckets rendered at a time. If you had 10.000 cpus you'd have the ability to render 20.000 buckets at a time. Not that the image would be chunked that much, but it serves the example. If you had an animation, instead you render a frame at a time you could make that each worker renders 1 frame. Well it's a renderfarm, not much to explain...

Just wanted to know if it was possible...
10  Bitcoin / Project Development / Project idea on: February 27, 2013, 10:02:48 AM
Hi, been having an idea and i want to have your opinion.
Imagine i want to render a 3D image, a very large scene. Can i use, in the way a bitcoin pool uses processing power for hashing, the same processing power to render that image, or animation? I mean, not having to give the scene to everybody who helps render, just use processing power in a cluster/cloud kind of thing? Like fold at home works i think.

My idea is, with the ASIC coming, most GPU miners will be out of business, me included. Can that processing power be redirected to other areas? And get payed for the work they do? Not exactly mining for BTC but can receive is coins just the same for example.

It would have a server with a queue manager to receive and organize artists submitted work and then chunk it and distribute to "render nodes" a.k.a the miners. The server would then know how much work everyone did and pay accordingly.

Is this possible?   
11  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Pay On Target: New High variance payout System Offered by Ozcoin on: January 18, 2013, 03:19:19 PM
Hi, i switched to POT too, i always like a bit of gambling. I'm just confused, or just plain stupid, with what to set at vardiff and how that translates to the overall performance of the miner. My hash power is around 450Mh/s too, so what should i set vardiff too? Currently i have it on 15. Is this just plain stupidity, ignorance or is it ok??

And if someone could explain in a simple way, how the value of vardiff affects your shares? I'm don't know how to read the stats in ozcoin. shares, vardiff shares, avg share diff 1 and so on...

Sorry for the noob questions, but i do like to learn, if someone has the will to teach!!
Thanks.

Well when a wrote this, the reward was at 50. I could be tweaked now for the 25 btc reward, but i haven't done anything. Couldn't get a pool running. I got it running for private use, but i don't care about payouts, because it's private/solo.
13  Economy / Marketplace / Instawallet down ?? on: January 15, 2013, 06:03:24 PM
What is happening with instawallet??? Can access my wallet?! Used a wallet yesterday to spin some coins, now i can't get access?!?

Does anyone else has this issue?


EDIT: Well now it says down for maintenance... Was it an attack or a server down?! Hope it's nothing of danger... i'm much to close to my coins!!

Hello, mining on stratum, bamt shows that i'm mining, but both the website and the widget app shows me as offline. Is everything ok? Are my shares beeing counted?


edit : Now, it's ok... i guess!!

edit 2: BTW, how is the payout of POT processed? Or when? What is the process?
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Pool server software on: December 26, 2012, 11:11:48 AM
Hi, been having this idea of having a "green" pool. Low power private pool. Been experimenting with a Raspberry Pi and been able to mine with ecoinpool. I don't have too much hashing power, but i've noticed that with this hardware, ecoinpool seems to handle the load much better than pushpool, but still i get some rejects. Not too many as the majority are submited shares right after pool "switches" block. I might get a second RPi and share the load between the two. Litecoind and webserver on one and pool on the other. But for now it's working...

My doubt is, what pool backend has the lowest footprint, or demand on the hardware? My problem with ecoinpool is that couchdb grows enormously and way too fast, for the disk space i have available, and i don't have the knowledge to reduce, or make something with it. And it's not maintained for a while now.

I've only tried pushpool and ecoinpool. It's the one's with a somewhat simple installation tutorial. I've tried to setup eloipool, but don't know how to do it, and there's no documentation. Does anyone knows of an easy to follow installation guide for eloipool? Or is kind enough to make one? Or at least give some pointers ?

Basically i'd like to have a pool, a private pool, so that i could point some hashing power that i could have access. But, if i have some friends who want to join in, i'd like to offer them the possibility to point their hardware, possibly just with their address, to my pool, and have payments for them. Only tried simplecoin for the frontend yet. Didn't find any good open source, free frontend. Just a simple, easy, in the way of litecoinpool.org. Nothing flashy, fancy, bling bling, etc...

Well, that's it. If someone can give some pointers with this i'd very much appreciate it.
Please do refrain from pointing me to p2pool, as i've seen in every post where people asking for "how to make a pool" threads!!

Thanks in advance.

So what's the latest stable release of eloipool that i can use? I've seen some forks in github too, are they good or is better to stick with the one from Luke in Gitourios?
Is eloi good for litecoins? I'm trying to set a private pool but been having a hard time. Tryed ecoinpool, pushpool and i want to give a shot at eloipool. My limited knowledge in programming is giving me some difficulties in setting up the pool, and so little info on how to set it up also. Ecoinpool has a really nice tutorial on how to setup, but it's been unmaintained for quite some time now, and running in couchdb, written in erlang, it's giving me a hard time to setup. The db grows way too big for my available space. Can't get it to use mysql to use a frontend like simplecoin. How about eloipool, are there any good open source frontend that i can use?

Thanks

Ok, that´s the subpool Id, the internal name ecoinpool gives the subpool. But already had the mysql database and tables created? And what info does the couchdb passes to mysql?

My idea was to use a php frontend with ecoinpool, but with no success. Also couchdb share database grows a lot, and i have limited space. It was good if couchdb could pass data to mysql and the erase what passed on. Or after no long needed, couch db discarded data. Like shares, when a block is found, just discard the documents.

20  Bitcoin / Pools / Payout change - Pushpool+Simplecoin on: December 06, 2012, 06:43:08 PM
Hi, how does one change the payout scheme in simplecoin?

I want to try a diferent aproach with:

the pool takes - tx fees+x%
the finder gets - 5 coins
the remaining coins are then distributed proportionally, or even better with dgm

Is it easy to do such a thing?

Thanks.
