"24 Hour Difficulty Retarget Time"

Ouch... So much for hopper protection there...

Might want a 24-hour retarget-goal, but a per-block retarget time. Seems to kick pool-hoppers off before they cause all sorts of reward damage. (They mine too many too fast, causing diff of next target to be too high for others to mine for actual reward, which makes them leave with the hoppers. Sticking a few miners to keep mining with less reward, which causes the next target to be way under, dropping diff, which brings the hoppers back for more. Creates saw-tooth effect in difficulty that amplifies as time progresses, until the coin has a higher steady miner-base that is larger than hoppers from pool-switchers. Unless it is per-block diff adjustments. Then they leave after two or three or twenty blocks. One block later, balance is restored.)

You could also under-estimate diff adjustments. That reduces hopper damage. Since the diff would be too high for them to mine still, but not quite "perfect calculated adjustment"... when they go, the ones left behind are mining less difficult, which would still be greater than what was actually needed after the hoppers left...

EG, if 30K is needed... only adjust 20K up... if it still needs it, it will adjust up again. But chances are, if the diff was 10K before hoppers came... then 30K after, that is 20K over, as opposed to going up to only 20K, which is only 10K over. Thus less loss to the steady miners. If it was wrong, it would have gone 10K, 20K(30K est), 25K(35K est), 28K(31K est), 30K(30.5K est)

As pointed out in the post, the wallet can be downloaded from our website here: http://teamaircoin.org/download/

Found it... eventually... (Edited my post above)

Too much words, words, words, words, words, (something important), words words words words (something important) words words words words...

Save the "what we are about" for the "what we are about" page... Or have it follow the important stuff... (The links clearly marked as what they are, not just a hyperlink sentence.)

Great... solo-mining! Um... Where is the wallet?

I see the connection information, not seeing the actual wallet required to actually connect to.

Sorry, found it inside the TLDR content... mumbo-jumbo...

1: What am I about to read about...
2: Where is the source (main website)...

604  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mt. Gox CEO confess to be bankrupt / insolvent on: February 23, 2014, 06:31:46 PM
I assume you have and want to recover your loss, the obvious about his statement can't be more obvious. I do not have and would not have an account there after reading that. I am completely neutral. Solvency is NOT customer information, it is company informatiion, it is NOT confidential.

Nope, no losses, I cashed-out when it was high, made purchases, and now I am buying more coins...

Didn't have any delays getting coins out, not seeing any real delays that are unnatural for those getting most money out. (A few "new accounts", having trouble, being "untrusted", and "unverified", or "attempting to withdraw near minimum amounts". But no more than usual. Gox isn't a bank, its a trade exchange.)

Solvency (customers money), is "Customer information". Also, it was not the topic of the press-release, and thus, "out of order to ask"... even if he could have answered it without legal repercussions from customers. Hell, banks tell you the same thing too. However, they will tell you that if you have a court-order, the judge can have the auditing records looked at, which will just give you a legal "yes" or "no", to a simplified question, without specifics. (Since account information is not "public records".)

Besides, it is Japan, not America... Ask that question here, and you might get some form of actual answer. However, Gox simply told him to stick to the topic.

That is like saying I am guilty of murder, if I don't answer your question "Did you murder Bob?"... If I didn't bluntly say, "I didn't do it", or if I say "no comment", or if I say "I'll only talk to my lawyer", or saying "I don't have to tell you shit".
605  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mt. Gox CEO confess(in other words) to be bankrupt / insolvent on: February 23, 2014, 06:14:34 PM
The only confession was the confession that the reporters question was irrelevant.

Yes, because when I am bankrupt, or insolvent... I pay for my whole facility to be moved, and then setup a press-release to allow for technical questions to be asked...

Then stay running, all while not paying a dime... because I am bankrupt, and thus have no money for bills or rent of the new place... Again, also thus being insolvent, yet still somehow managing to do millions in withdraws... With imaginary money.

Yet another noob detective, just learned what a bitcoin was, and has all the answers to an exchange that helped start the whole thing. Giving bitcoin the face it has now. Led by noob-exchanges, who actually don't have money to trade, and thus, remain high, because no-one there could sell for less, if they wanted to, and no-one there has money to pay those crazy high prices.

They will fall to $420, as Gox rises to $420, then all fall again at the same rate, until more free-money is deposited into all exchanges. Stop worrying about it, and live with the choices you made. If you got stuck with high coins, sell them and catch a low, or hold them until price rises. If you are sitting on cash, buy while it is low, and wait for it to rise, or keep waiting for the next big cash-out to catch them lower.

No-one actually listens to FUD. You just think they do. Bots and real investors are the ones controlling the market, the FUD-mongers are just looking for reasons why shit happens... like people who invented gods, because they wanted answers to shit that just happens naturally. (Making up stories, just like FUD as the explanations.)
606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Getting more people to adopt bitcoin.... on: February 23, 2014, 05:58:05 PM
When poor become rich, they are still poor, because the rich are more rich.

Without a bottom, there is no top. Without a top, there is nothing to rise up to. When everyone has millions, it costs millions for everything, and thus, zimbabwe.

Sad fact of the matter is... the few rich become rich by getting most others (poor), to do more for less. (Robbery of value)

Even sadder... Contrary to popular belief, money does not run the world. Power and assets do. Those in power, with assets, spend forever trying to convince us (with money), that we want more money... More of their money, while creating them more assets and giving them more power.

BTC is a step in the change of that whole game. Though, the ones with power and assets, will still be the ones in control. Unless you convince them to give us the assets and power, for the BTC. (Which is slowly happening.)

1: Old news...
2: You are an idiot if that is how you translated that information as a confession or as bankrupt, or insolvency...
3: Customer information is always confidential, without a warrant...
4: Lack of even asking a "technical question", shows the poor understanding of anything worthy of printing...


How about this food for thought... All these young exchanges, who can't sell for less, because they purchased so high, when they started only a year/months ago... now have almost zero "new dollars" moving into the exchanges. (Translation, what few dollars they have, will soon be consumed by the cashing-in of all the coins which will be moving out of Gox soon. The more FUD on Gox, the lower Gox goes, the more cheap coins we get to cash-out on the other exchanges. Sooo ironic, isn't it. lol.)

Then again, I assume you have a Gox account, and know this... With hopes this FUD brings you some lower coins to purchase. lol... That ride is over. If you have not purchased your discount coins yet, you just lost your chance. Buy some higher priced coins, at a loss, and you might still have a chance at easy money from the other exchanges.

When the "price is low", the name of the game is, "get more coins"... (Buying or trading) People don't care about the dollars they can get out, when the price is low. Only idiots cash-out at the bottom. Smart ones are buying, and have sold the coins they got at $900, for $600... waited for the bottom, and purchased them back at $100, for gains.

What are the other exchanges doing... Nothing.. waiting... not making any money or BTC... being followers without any ability to earn. All while Gox strolls along, earning and trading all day long.
608  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Thread: AMT on: February 22, 2014, 08:53:30 PM
No, I am just human... Humans make mistakes... AMT is run by humans... But that is irrelevant to the volume of useless allegations that still persist to be "thrown in peoples faces"... (Multiple times, I might add, reposted from post to post, and thus, slanderous. That is not just, "do what you like with this information"... That is harassing them, and us. We sat it the first five times it was posted.)

I see lots of half-ass collected information about photos, and obvious things about being around the world... But complete oversight/ignorance to the actual facts.

So you are right... they are not in PA, the list of shipped items is all fake, even bitmine.ch is in on the whole elaborate scam... Creating fake chips that only pretend to work, making videos that are all obviously magic smoke and mirrors, and the many real-life photos that must be photo-shopped. You got us... There is no spoon...

You preach for us not to trust AMT, yet provide no credentials as to why we should trust you.

So... What good reason, if any, would we have to trust you? I already know why I trust AMT, before I gave them my funds, and still after.

Oh, because you have no intentions, except to save the world from the evil AMT Freemasons. Mind if I ask what miners you own and support? Obviously not AMT's. And thus, your credentials and words become even less valuable, by that simple fact... even less valuable if you admit that you don't even own a miner.

If you have some solid proof of fraud, then take it to an authority. However, the presented crap is just that. At the moment, all credible proof I see, is in AMT's favor. (Not favorable, but in their favor, as being legitimate.)
609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reminder: Mt Gox owns the Bitcoin trademark on: February 22, 2014, 07:50:37 PM
Funny, there is a law with trademark registration...

If it has been in the "public domain" for more than a year, it can not be trademarked. That trademark is completely null and void. Anyone can prove it was out for over a year, prior to registration. (Somewhere in the application, you had to agree that "this is an original trademark, outside the use of public domain".)

Also, "if the trademark applied for is your own creation"... Which it is not, and the creators have not "given permission to use", so again, that makes the trademark null and void. (Somewhere in the filed application they had to claim that they had rights to use, or were the original creators.)

With those two primary failures, Gox could not actually win any lawsuits with those blatant lies, which are apparently signed and dated lies, on record. (Might even be a form of trademark violation in itself. Applying for property rights with fraudulent information.)

That is why you can not trademark a drawing of a "heart", or the word "heart". That is also why you can't patent a "spoon", or copyright "a bible". (You can get design patents, or translation patents, but those are useless.)

Well, you can apply for a patent on something like a spoon, and you might get it, if the office workers were lazy that day. However, it would not actually hold-up in court, if one person simply proves that it was an invalid patent. (Like, by showing the judge a spoon in a photograph from the 1920's, if the patent was filed in 2010. Or, by showing the code and program with the logo and name "bitcoin", prior to a year before the patent was applied for. Or if they claimed proof of ownership, by getting rights from the creator... all they need to do is provide the creator, to confirm that he gave them the rights. Which is impossible, because he did not, and even if he did, it had been in public domain, with open-source rights, for more than a year prior to the application date.)
610  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Thread: AMT on: February 22, 2014, 10:34:35 AM
This is one reason I tried to avoid posting my opinions here because that is all they are.

This is a public forum, the point is to post opinions... You would have not been doing anything wrong, by posting your thoughts. (As long as they were not slanderous or harmful in nature.)

(Hell, If I was held accountable for my thoughts and opinions... {Which I might add, change by the minute}... I fear to think of the repercussions they would return.)

Clenell, what you are doing, in my opinion, seems slanderous and extortion/blackmale in nature. Just saying... I think you should really step back a second, take a few breaths, and focus on non-public attacks. (To a situation that you clearly admit, "you have no information about, due to lack of updates." Thus, all your actions are premature and speculative paranoia and assumptions. That will not bode well in any defense, legally or from a civil perspective. There are better ways to do things, this is not one of the better ways.)

P.S.  Phinnaeus Gage, you are an idiot... Web-hosts are world-wide. Mail-servers are world-wide. IP's are no longer "limited" to countries. They stopped selling blocks years ago, and most have been resold to other locations, irrelevant to the original "assigned blocks". (Not to mention IPV4->IPV6 conversion services, which don't relay the origins of IPV6 addresses from the conversion. They relay the converting node IP.) Stop playing detective. You are not a detective. There is not only one Joshua Zipkin in the world, I am sure that one is annoyed at you posting his information. There are over 14 people with my same exact "full name", that I have no relationship with. (Though I do look like one of them, a little.) Having a web-host, and thus, being associated with multiple domains, hosted on a shared-server, is what 80% of the current web-sites do. My own websites are shared among over 3000 others, that I have no direct or indirect ties to. (Seems I am in Europe too... Yet, amazingly I live in the USA Florida, and the actual server is located in USA Texas. OMG world-wide-web howz-it werk? Who-knew!) Go back to your corner with your ghetto sleuthing ability.

Re question: Is there any Exchange, where you can NOT set your selling price? Obviously you can set YOUR selling price at every single Exchange on this earth?

Btc-E, Bitstamp, Gox, Cryptsy and and and...

Or maybe i just don't get the point what you mean with Exchange.

Coinbase is an exchange... you just take what they offer. (Just for example. But there are other exchanges that only do an "exchange", not "bids". Requires less effort, and gives them the ability to be a "broker" themselves. They are buying on the lowest exchanges and selling on the highest ones, but only offering you something near the middle.)

Does anyone know what the status of On-hold is supposed to mean in their system?

I got confirmation over the phone that they had cashed my check on Feb 7th.

On hold = Waiting for 100% payment confirmation.

(If by check, I imagine they are waiting for the check to actually clear, before updating the status. Being "cashed", and actually "having funds available" from a check is not the same. They could cash it, but you could have "stopped payment", before they were actually credited for the funds. Checks are one of the slowest forms of payments. Also depends how fast your bank actually wires the cashed-check's funds to their bank.)

Send them an e-mail with your information... Account info, order number, and check-status. They may just have to manually update that information.

You need to look at "Trade exchanges", not just "Exchanges".

Trade Exchange = To make offers (bid/ask) or (buy/sell) {You set the rate you desire, as an "order"}
Exchange = To get an exchange, at a specified exchange-rate that the exchange has offered.

Here are a few "Trade exchanges" and "Exchanges", otherwise known as "Markets"...

NVM, got it to finally work...

Renamed file to darkcoin.conf and just used the default port.

Might want to look into that. It does not seem to obey the switch from windows-shortcut, to launch it with -conf= in the path of the shortcut.

Also, did not seem to like a custom port there, only the default one.

Guys, I am having trouble getting this to connect for solo-mining...

I put the standard ' -conf=sdarkcoin.conf' in my shortcut to the wallet, but it does not seem to actually use the custom conf file...

Eg, I set the port an user and pass... but since it isn't reading it, it does not let it connect.

What is the default conf file it is expecting, I will just rename the file to that.

What's the estimated cost price of your project in BTC?
Have you made a sheet yet to calculate that?

I would love to see a moon clock.  Which timezone will it be linked to?
It takes so much energy to take out my phone every 30 sec and check the clock.
This would be very energy sufficient. Although looking up can also be exhausting.

Hmm... I project about 10 BTC, by the time the project is ready to launch... BTC should be about $850,000/BTC at that time.

Time-zone will be GMT 0:00 since we will also be getting rid of useless time-zones, and thus just become one world-time. (Never have to adjust your watch or ask what is your GMT offset? -5 +10... and  Are you in DST?)

You have a phone that fits in your pocket... OMG, and it has time... What will they think of next... How much does that watch cost you to buy and run every year? This will be free to use, no charge, once built. Tongue

Wait, if you know 30-seconds passed... why would you take out your phone again? Is your short-term memory that short, and your ability to add 30-seconds to the last time you checked, that bad? This will be a great advantage to you... You can save your short memory for things like, remembering to breath, or practicing that math...

Do you not look down at your watch/phone... why would looking up be any harder? The moon isn't directly above you, 95% of the time. If you have trouble finding it, there might just be a cloud in the way, or it is flying over Japan at that time... Use your watch/phone for those times.

P.S. This was intended to be stupidly humorous, not actually a real thing to do.
619  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Official Thread: AMT on: February 20, 2014, 11:28:50 AM
lol... proven incorrect about what?
Estimates being off for shipping, which were beyond their control.
or
Estimates of wattage being originally based off the chips consumption and not a relation of the units consumption, with the obvious reduction of chip-count in the end. Still quoting me out of context to make yourself feel better.

Funny that with the optional two additional boards per unit, it will produce 1.2THs per machine, at near 600W. Which I am sure was possibly the original design plan. With the new unit being made with those two boards short, because even with the boards short, it still produces 1.2THs, just at more wattage consumption.

Not having a unit in hand, or even made, you knew that was just an estimate too. If you failed to grasp that obvious fact, then you deserve what you get for failure to observe the obvious. No estimates for any unit, have ever "been right on", most not even "remotely close", on any preorder ASIC ever offered.

Hell, they still report the size of the unit being (20x10x20 cm), which is about the size of a computer PSU. lol. You want to take a stab at that, and say how they were wrong about the size also... (Even funnier that they actually KNOW the size of the unit, and KNOW it isn't 20x10x20 cm... it is sitting right in the office!)

You still have the opportunity to get your money back... so get it back and shut-up about it, or take what you get delivered, and shut-up about it. You are not the only one who ordered, so we are all standing right along beside you, and many more standing behind you. Still, even being at the front of the line, you are still pissing and moaning. It is like hearing some dick complain about how expensive his oil-change is on his Farrari. Next time buy a Geo-Metro, they are about 20x10x20 and up to spec.

I keep coming here to see if the video is linked, and still only repeat crap is posted... (So I figured, why not repeat too!)
