bitcoind getconnectioncount 

Thanks, It is working but connection count is only 8. I must have not port forwarded correctly.

Thanks for the bash script, my VPS hasn't crashed in ages. I will test how long it lasts before a crash to see if cron job is necessary.

Hello,

I have a VPS which I am not using and I am probably never going to use, So I will thinking of running it as a bitcoin node. Am I correct in saying all I need to do is run bitcoind with the argument "-server"?
I have opened port 8332 and while running "bitcoind -server" I do not see any network activity.

2 scenarios  exist that I can see.

1. I am doing it wrong. Which is very likely

2. The network activity is so low that it doesn't even show up on my graphs

Thanks for any help.

Don't know if that will improve my odds or not. I choose to believe it does. 

I would love to be in the lottery.

Hello,

I have tried using pywallet to extracted my private key. I have 0 luck, once I dump the wallet I get
(not actual keys)

I get a big list of addresses none of which are mine. I hope I am doing something stupid. The main reason I am trying to find my private key is because Bitcoin-Qt never finishes syncing, I have got to 80% once and then 90% before it just refused to sync.

Thanks for any help

EDIT:

Found the problem:

When using pywallet.py -dumpwallet I thought you could specify the location of wallet.dat but it just ignores what ever you put after it. So instead of reading my wallet.dat i was specifing it was reading the wallet used by bitcoind which I am using as a node.

I have read about ASIC units but to me it sounds like they could be shipped anywhere between tomorrow and July 2013. I don't even think I would be going for a couple GPU's just using the one I have at hand. I just wanted to give it a go.

"I think the fact that the VideoCore 4 GPU doesn't support OpenCL would make this highly unlikely" are you saying because the onboard video card doesn't support openCL I am basically screwed?

I don't think I was planning on running a "profit" but doesn't that assume I find bitcoins worth the same at the price the exchange puts on it.

Other questions include. Why do you not accept bitcoins?

If you want the laptop to come with a OS then all you need is a windows CD. Even if you don't have a serial it just says "This copy of Windows is not genuine" at the bottum right hand of the screen.

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi and I was just wondering the feasibility of running a rig off a Pi. As I understand it GPU mining rigs don't require much RAM or use many CPU cycles. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of doing this?
I am sure this is more than possible, just wanted to see if anyone had any success.

Hello,

Not sure what is going on here. I suppose it does make it hard for spammers to get through.

Ps. I am BATMAN!
