I built this executable with Ubuntu 13.10, anyone is welcome to give it a try, I can't test it because my Ubuntu box is SSH with no GUI.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fcqjid4vv40ocp/HyperStake-qt

 error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.8: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

does this mean it's compiled as 32 bit? Or does it need to be compiled with static libraries (something I don't know how to do).
I added the static tag to the .pro now, and am hoping that fixed the problem.  Here is the updated executable.

Thanks for giving it a try biomech!

I'll let you know in a few minutes Cheesy

So IS someone working to fix the PoS problem? Or is this one of those situations where everyone assumes someone else is fixing the issue, and therefor nothing gets done? Im not aware of anyone formally stating they are working to fix the issue, and Thundertoe is basically MIA from what I can tell.


I've talked to him on skype. He's looking into getting somebody to do several upgrades. I'm sure he'll update the forum soon.

Adding a 240 volt circuit to most houses is trivial and cheap. If you can afford 4K for a mining device, you can afford another 50-200 dollars for a new circuit or, worst case, a new panel with a new circuit. I find this argument disengenuous. Calling out a company for missing their target is fine and dandy. From what I've seen, Spondoolies has acknowledged that they made some errors and are working to rectify it. But bitching about a circuit or two is just plain trolling. This is high school level stuff.
 

I agree, even if people don't know how to do it themselves, Electricians aren't that expensive, and surely they have a buddy that would do it for a few beers. Or maybe not. Still, couple hundred bucks isn't that much.

I don't think any situation would ever exist when a new panel is necessary.

There are quite a few houses with 100 amp services that were made in the late 70's. That's pushing it. But a 150 Amp is only about 60 bucks if you look around. Also, if you want more than one of these beasts, a 300 amp may be a good idea. But that's a bit more money. Still a pittance by comparison to the miners themselves.

i have small ammnount of coin, on 17.0 coin is now 10 weight at which weight the POS?

I have 30 plus 3 days old coins in a wallet, but no stake. Weigt of coin is 0. Wallet unlock and still online. Where is the problem? Thanks for the advice.  Cry

You're certain of the dates and the weight? I've been three days into stake now, but the weight is gaining normally. I would start by redownloading the blockchain were it me, as that just seems odd. The PoS function is messed up right now, but the coins should be gaining weight if they are into the eligibility period.

Of course my understanding is limited. I don't know how to code worth a damn, so it's possible I'm wrong. But redownloading the blockchain surely won't harm anything.

It's highly variable. If you're gaining weight, the system is working.

However, right at the present moment, we have a problem with the POS being frozen. Dev is on it, we know how to solve it, so it's not terribly worrisome. As long as your coins are gaining weight, they will eventually stake and at the correct interest for the moment that they stake. Prior to this speed bump, my coins have staked between 300-400 weight. I'm currently at 434, which is the highest I've personally seen. I've been told of people having weights in the thousands before they stake, though. It will happen.

difficult always increase possible they to decreasee or less than before ?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I think you're asking if it's possible for difficulty to decrease?

if so, the answer is yes, it's possible, and in time it's likely to happen, or at least level off. We're at the first major pause in a major technological arms race. It has slowed down considerably.

Technically speaking (well, referencing anyway), the network adjusts difficulty to maintain an average of ten minutes between blocks. If the hashpower goes down somewhat during the 2016 blocks between adjustments, then it will drop to make the times work out. I don't believe this has ever happened, definitely not in the two + years I've been involved in BTC. But it is technically possible, and as the diff rises, there will probably come a point where a bunch of older mining equipment is taken off line due to being too expensive to operate. During that period, it will probably drop a small amount or remain level. We've already seen a couple of difficulty adjustments under ten percent rise.

But there is also ongoing technological development, and many of us working to bring bitcoin and other cryptos to the mainstream, so don't expect it to decrease any time soon. I have used 15% per period as my middle case calculation for some time. It's never been accurate, but it has been close to the mean for some time.

....And statements that assert that substandard performance at 110 volts is not a problem because customers can always host in a datacenter instead of running their machines in a home or office environment are disingenuous. ...

At 3kW, you won't be running on a standard home/office circuit anyway. (North-American plugs are generally limited to 12-15 amps of continuous draw (1320W-1650W at 110V, power factor of 1.0)

Edit: I suppose you can hook it up in the kitchen where the outlets generally have two branches (The SP30 does have two supplies).

To those of you who don't know how to do it and/or are afraid to, an electrician is not THAT expensive. It boggles me how people are willing to spend a small fortune on these devices and then bitch because they have to spend a pittance more to make their house compatible with the CLEARLY commercial grade equipment.

I have been keeping a spreadsheet with the prices of all the stake coins I think are decent coins (PPC, HBN, PHS, TEK, GRW, and HYP) since the 8th of July. I have it calculating stake and then keeping track of the price everyday as well. In the 21 days so far, HYP is the only one of these coins that has kept its head above water (and actually quite a bit above water).  I will post a screen shot of my graph once it is a full month so that the monthly stakers have the chance to get their stake in.

Anyways I thought that was something worth sharing  Grin
Definitely. It reminds me of another coin keeping its head above water in times of Bitcoin fall Smiley (hint: its ticker starts with an X)

I also created a "development and advocacy" thread. We don't enjoy enough traffic yet to have it popular, but it is OK.

I highly recommend a link to the old thread. It has a lot of useful information and history in it, as well as it just looks good to not even appear to be hiding anything.

Aside from that, lookin' good! You two have been the coin's primary cheerleaders for a good while. Glad to see it made official.

I tried searching for this info, but this spec of SYNC appears to be hidden, I could not find it, so I hope someone here can answer:
I bought about 2 SYNC (and will buy more, money permitting) since I like to get interest from staking.
However, I have no idea *how much* reward staking is giving.
My 2 SYNC staked within a few hours from the min age of 6 hours, but only delivered 0.0012 SYNC reward.
Is this reward fixed or variable and what determines the size?
I understand the staking, Coin Control and splitting my 2 SYNC into multiple inputs,
since I have been active with ORB for a long time, which was the first coin with Staking rewards.
Calculating based on this one time event, SYNC pays a little less interest than ORB, so I need to decide where to go next.
I read in the SYNC spec that block reward is 0.14 SYNC but that is obviously not true for PoS blocks,
unless it has halved already so many times in the mean time that it now is at 0.0012?
Thanks for any pointers!

It was intended to be 1 % per annum (uncompounded, haven't calculated the compounded rate), but was raised to 100 percent for a time and is now stepping down back to 1% The time frame is here in the thread, but I don't recall it right now. I do know that we either just did or are just about to go to 50%. Without running a calc, you're return sounds about right.

If anyone is having trouble compiling the qt wallet under linux, I have created a pull request that adds a modified .pro file that removes all mac and windows specific commands. It has not been approved or reviewed by the dev team as of yet, but I used it successfully.

The file is here https://github.com/KevinBiomech/Techcoin

The only difference is that there is now a file named techcoin-qt-linux.pro, so when you go to compile, the procedure is :
qmake techcoin-qt-linux.pro
make


If you started and got errors involving Mingw-48, this will solve the problem. Be sure to delete your Makefile before doing the above. (sudo rm Makefile).

To anyone who feels the urge to jump me for the level of detail, blow me. Linux users are frequently the reason people use Windows. We all start somewhere.


Thanks, I merged it into the official repo.

My first git attempt Cheesy Happy to be of service.

This thread is no longer a channel for me to communicate with the clients. I didn't read the thread for the last month because of SP30 FW development, and the ground shifted. Few months ago it was a great place to get feedback, and to resolve issues. Now it is same trashing over and over and over, every day. I am very sorry that we didn't perform to the specs we were committed, but Guy is committed to compensate in a reasonable way, and reading all this trashing is just not what I want to do with my time. And now I see some people talking about race, religion, politics etc`, and even the smallest jokes provoke crazy reactions. 

So I will be stopping reading the thread for a while at least, unless Guy will ask me specifically to reply somewhere. If you have technical issues, feedbacks etc`, feel free to use my email. Best of luck to all those getting SP30. Please remember we got the ASICs just about 10 days ago and working around the clock to make the FW as good and stable as possible.

Regards`



Welcome to Mos Eisely Cheesy

Bitcointalk is just like that. I believe I warned y'all when you first announced. Believe it or not, there are a lot of cool people here. Don't give up on us too quickly.

The flipside is that there are a lot of morons and assholes too. It's one hell of a dichotomy. I have met some of the coolest and smartest people I've ever encountered on this very forum. And some of the most genetically miscegenated dipshits as well. It can be fun.

well I just came over and looked at wtf is going on as tek crashes.  Come on, really, the coin held up on some staking, and you guys start dumping.

see if I can see if there's something going on, but my debug file looks nice and clean, so might just be competition, SHA blocks being found pretty regular.

What he said! It's not like POS isn't slow and random with other coins or anything. Panic is a useless emotion, unless you don't do it and everyone else does.

Fuck it, what am I saying? All you "sky is falling" types enrich me.
1680  Economy / Services / Re: PB Mining -- 5 year mining contracts! on: August 02, 2014, 01:53:48 AM
I think buying and holding is a good thing to do, however I don't believe that buying contracts with PB can't be both fun and profitable. I started small back on April 6, buying small amounts 25 or 30 and as weeks went on buying larger amounts 50 and a hundred and then eventually contracts of hundreds. I now own 2,000 GHS and plan on increasing more soon. The way this works out is after 22 weeks the first contracts I bought in April will have paid me back what I have paid for them. This includes all the difficulty increases as well as near future difficulty increases. I'm having a lot of fun, I am being paid more than a third of a bitcoin per week. The past eight weeks I have averaged a payment each Sunday of about $230.00 dollars. So when I read some of the post in here saying don't invest in this because you will never get your money back.
Simple math shows me that if you wait 22 weeks, you will receive back what you have paid in, worse case possible, lets say it took 26 weeks which is exactly half a year. Then even with a miserable difficulty I will still be receiving a payment each week. It may be smaller but then again bitcoin might also be much more valuable than it is right now. using my math, I am willing to bet that all of the people who bought back in March are now seeing break even on what they paid for those contracts. Another aspect of this for me is, I bought much of the bitcoin that I purchased these contracts with when it was in the 400 dollar price range, and now it's paying me back when bitcoin is in the 600 dollar range. That's my take on this, sorry it so long. 




What you said. Even without referrals, which is the bulk of my holdings, I broke even on my investment long ago. And I bought when bitcoin was rising 25-30 percent in difficulty per adjustment, and at a much higher price.

pbmining has done quite well by me, and if it were a ponzi as so many keep suggesting or implying, it would surely have gone bust by now.

This little piggy is happy with his investment.
