Arsenay, you can have multiple versions of QT on your linux install. QT5 will still compile QT4 if you use the command line qmake-qt4 instead of just qmake. You don't have to recompile everything or symlink dependencies or any of that. Assuming you're running a debian variant, at least. I'm not familiar with the non Debian versions, I run ubuntu.

However, I do primarily run daemons, they're less resource intensive and do all the same things, just no pretty pictures.

I cheated. I asked Presstab 

...and I'll probably end up mining there at some point I sent a small amount, cuz that's all I can afford right now. If we haven't made it by next monday, I'll have a bit more.

Gotta support my favorite coin, even if it's just a token amount.

I ran an escrow using Coinbase wallet a while back, and ran into this. Scared the piss out of me and the guy I was holding the bag for.

It's not a thing. Coinbase is constantly moving BTC in and out of cold storage as their needs call for it. They have a pretty complex system and a custom wallet. If it still shows up correctly on the Coinbase holder's account, it's all good. But it's a bit frightening, too. Since then, when I do an escrow, I do it with a clean wallet on my own system, which gets copied to a flash drive and turned off until the funds are released. That way, there's no jumping about in a block explorer and no frights.

That being said, no worries. It'll work out.

Glad to see I'm not alone on this Took me a minute to find it too.

vegas and Trololoh, you're both usually better than this.

I worked with Noise23 just before the latest TRK release as a guinea pig, he taught me some things about coding that I didn't know, and was a stand up guy. I think English is not his first language, so things may not come out as they should. Also, why shouldn't it be fun?

NVCS is a variable algorithm. It is the basis of ALL Pos coins except (to my knowledge) HYP, PPC (which NVC itself is descended from), and NXT, which is totally new code, not the satoshi client modified. This is not news. Just when it's going to happen might be.

The daemon still has to index the whole damn thing as if it were downloading it. The Bootstrap just makes it happen that much faster than it would if you were downloading and processing a block at a time. It still takes a little while.

You see the same effect, though faster, if you have had your client turned off for a while. It takes a bit of time to catch up

So you consider NovaCoin a failure as well? Or frankly any POS coin aside from HYP? I'd like you to justify that, if so. Almost all of them use the NVCS difficulty adjustment. PressTab tried a different approach. I don't think it's superiour, honestly, just different. I like both approaches, and will continue to support several coins. It's likely someone will clone the HyperStake max subsidy scheme, but to my knowledge, at the present moment all POS coins are descendents of peercoin, Novacoin, or NXT.

So, you also like honey

To clarify, while their ARE differences in how the wallets interact with the OS's, such as needing the file extension .exe in Windows, vs simply the filename in Linux, but with permissions set to executable, none of these matter for the hyperstake.conf file. The only thing to note between Windows and Linux in this case is that Linux is case sensitive, and Windows is not. The command structure and available commands are all the same.

And as to the specific thing that triggered all of this: 97 connections is rather a lot. I'd be impressed to catch that many It harms nothing, unless your system gets overloaded, and as shown above, you can throttle it.

For the slightly advanced user, or simply obsessive (me), you can also code it to ONLY connect to certain nodes, by using "connect=<nodeIP>" instead of "addnode=<nodeIP>". As with addnode, you can do this as many times as you wish, one IP per line. The difference is that addnode will still allow the client to connect to any peers it can find, whereas connect will only connect to the defined nodes. It can matter for security in some instances, and it's useful for testing. Probably not relevant to the above gentleman's situation, but there it is

foaming at the keys and flinging wild accusations is hardly what I would call good reason. Or reason at all, for that matter.

But whatever. Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being.

I do however reiterate: to date, I have not been directly involved in the coding development of ANY coin except Tech (not TEK) where I altered a few lines of code in the .pro file to make it compile under Unbuntu. I did this because I use ubuntu and the .pro file had lines in it that were windows specific, causing it to crash the compile.

I was part of Team Earthcoin as a writer (prose, not code) until other obligations made that impossible.

Now that you have shown me the writing of shakezulu, I very well might try my hand at developing a coin. Won't be soon, and probably won't be for profit as I'm just trying to learn more about coding. But what the hell.

I'm done with this.

I'm also fairly certain that Thundertoe updated the website with the most recent pool list.

Truth is, I would not have pulled my sig if it were not Puppet making the allegations. He's often brutal, but I've never known him to be malicious. I will not purchase more nor promote pbmining further until there is some level of proof of their mining, or if they're doing something else legit to simulate mining, proof of that.

I'm arrogant, Puppet, but I'm willing to listen to reason from some people. You're one of them.

Puppet, you've made your case. I do not believe you correct, but you've cast sufficient doubt that I'll remove the link.

pbmining, I will restore it if you do reveal your operation sufficiently for someone like him to deem it legit.

Again, you lie blatantly. I have not said anything of the sort, nor will I. I have to date made no coins. Couldn't if I tried, as of this point, though I must thank you for turning me on to the writings of shakezulu. It has taught me a lot about coding that I didn't know.

There are many things one can accuse me of and have them be true. I'll cop to 'em, too. DO NOT accuse me of your fantasies. I've nothing to do with them, and any role I play in them is entirely on you.

I resorted to ad hominem against you for amusement. I need not de-construct your arguments, you do that with no assistance.

Fair's fair, even if he did attack me. Puppet is not a troll. I think he's mistaken here, but he's always been pretty thoughtful and asked questions that needed asking. That we disagree this time is not a character judgment, it's a disagreement.

Now come on. That's very insulting. You owe the trolls an apology for the comparison.

True enough, but it is a positive development for BTC nevertheless.

56 votes here It was moving up pretty good earlier today.

That's the question, isn't it? Speed, take the hit and make it up on compounding, or try to get close but not exceed.

I'm on the fence so I'm doing both
