1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bottlecaps v1.4.2 Released Sync Fixes Please Update on: August 19, 2013, 10:02:50 PM
Is it possible for me to manually ban peers from my client?

I've just started it and there are quite a few with the incorrect starting height including some still below 80k.

I guess if everyone did this it would result in noone catching up but I only want to do it until the database is rebuilt again. It stalled and I was 140 blocks behind but not getting anymore despite restarts.

My wallet was generating PoS on the correct chain fine, but I have now put in reservebalance to stop that and using the latest client.

The problem is I still have coins "missing" from my wallet where PoS blocks were generated on the wrong chain and not confirmed. How do I get these back? I have started the client with -rescan but they're still there.

my client minted blocks during one of it's trips down the wrong path. I have finally got it updated on the right chain and minting blocks but the ones that were rejected still show as generated but not accepted and my balance is missing the staked coins for those blocks that were not accepted.

How do I get my coins back? Will they timeout eventually and remove the transactions that were not accepted?

Something possibly dodgy going on.

Received a message about btcoxygen.com abouts but the link is to btc-oxygen.com

The PPS rate on the front page is different.
The stats tables are different
The facebook/twitter links at the bottom are different (dodgy one links to http://bitcoin-talk.org/stats.php/btcoxygen#)

Message came from the right bitcointalk account though.

Was the bonus giving us back the balance we had before?

The same thing happened to my account as well. I checked the balance and it has been reset to 0.

Yeah this is starting to become annoying. I don't see the point of a payout threshold if it doesn't work anyway. This is the 3rd time I've had to send a PM to try and get a payout, but I'm still waiting.

Any news on payouts? I've been over threshold for days and even manual payout is not working.

Getwork is working fine but stratum seems to be down.

First automatic payout came through without a hitch. Is it down for anyone at the moment?

sent an email and got paid, but I'm not sure I'll be pointing my miners back to this pool if auto/manual payouts aren't working

Can you use a USB 3 connector to allow for the extra power draw, or is the increase in cost (I assume USB3 connectors > USB2) not worth it?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: feathercoin pool(100M+) on: May 03, 2013, 11:46:19 PM
Are payouts still only once a day like it says on the front page? Does anyone know what time?
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why BitCoin limit? on: April 08, 2013, 11:48:22 PM
The way I understand is the transaction fees don't increase, you can already pay them or not pay them at the moment.

The idea is that as BTC gets more popular and use of it spreads, there will be more transactions which will add up to an increase in TX fees.

If you don't pay fees your transaction can still be included but the transactions with fees are prioritised and some miners may refuse to include fee free transactions in any blocks they mine. eg. I sent 1BTC from about 40 inputs and didn't pay a fee so it took over a day to be included.

Disclaimer: I've mined all the coins I have on a GPU in the past ten months.

All those people holding thousands of bitcoins, hoping to become the next Jobs/Gates/Buffett: make sure you don't smother what is happening right now. Use your head. You are *not* Jobs/Gates/Buffett...you got lucky. Take some profits and let other people profit from the rise.

Seriously, think about it.

Peace!


How is holding their coins smothering what is happening? If the price is $100/BTC or $1000/BTC it doesn't make a difference it just means something is 1BTC or 0.1BTC to purchase. The only thing that will cause an issue with using bitcoin is day trading causing massive fluctuations in the price as businesses are likely to adjust their prices (most places selling goods/services for BTC are unlikely to pay their suppliers in BTC so the exchange rate matters).

Someone not selling their coins now is no different to someone formatting their HDD and losing their wallet, the coins aren't in circulation so supply is reduced and the value goes up. When they sell supply will increase and price goes down.

If I had thousands I probably would have sold off a heap to pay off my mortgage but each to their own.

30Mh/s? How many GPUs do you have?

When I first tried litecoin I didn't specify scrypt and it showed MH/s but no accepted shares. I think to do litecoin with guiminer you will need to search for guiminer-scrypt so it uses the correct algorithm.

The other option is to just use cgminer and specify --scrypt on the command line.

It shows your current clock at 157MHz, maybe you need to look into that?

Current Clock: core: 157 MHz, mem.:  300 MHz
Max. Clock:    core: 850 MHz, mem.: 1200 MHz

My Dad has a 5770 in his pc and it does 180Mh/s on dynamic intensity and 200-210 if i increase the intensity. I was just playing with it when i visited so I didn't save the settings, he asks too many questions when the fan is running at 100%  Grin

Hi,

I've been reading the forum on and off for a while now but have only just started mining a few months ago (no dedicated rigs or anything). I'm interested in btc and altcoins because I like the idea that people can't just print more money like GovCo continue to do. I'm also hoping that trying to understand the workings of it all will spark me back into the nerd world after retiring from it when I finished uni.
