I never understood why people gets upset when an exchange asks your ID. This is because in my country , within UE, i can be arrested (for a couple of hours) only because i don't carry my ID documents (nationality and driver license) when i'm on public places (streets, sidewalks, etc). If an officer stops me and asks for my ID i have to show him my documents. It's simple as that...
Huge difference between one person's documents in your pocket and a million documents on a web site. The latter is a huge target for hackers. "the [MtGox] hacker also have access to a 20GB data dump of customer data along with passport scans" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498522.msg5485610#msg5485610Uploading your personal data to any web site is inherently dangerous and should only be done with great caution and only when absolutely necessary. I never uploaded my documents to MtGox (thankfully) and stopped using the site when they started requiring them, for exactly this reason. I had no legal concerns whatsoever about the source of funds in my MtGox accounts at all (they were all solo mined coins) but I did not trust them with my personal information. |

Fantastic!
And good news for p2pool as well. We (meaning all of p2pool) are struggling to stay above 100 TH.

Bitmain say that they are producing/shipping 30 units per day
Don't confuse Bitmain and Bitmine. Bitmain actually ships their products when you buy them. |

3: My GetBlockTemplate latency is never under 1 sec, even with just P2Pool and Bitcoind running. Why?
It takes that long to process the mempool to construct a block on the hardware you are using. This may or may not be a problem, you have to see what your efficiency works out to be. If it is a problem you need to get faster hardware (I/O and/or CPU) or reduce your block size. |

Also the new ones seem to always ship with a fixed address of 192.168.1.99 now. Various different addresses were used before.

Thanks. I am in the process of moving my P2Pool so I can use pywallet and leave my bitcoin-qt shutdown for a week or so, hopefully the it will be removed from the blockchain then so I can resend it with the correct amount, then move my P2Pool back.
Yes it will eventually time out and you will get your coins back, unless it happens to get mined by someone who doesn't care about the fee. Minor correction to your terminology though. It isn't in the "blockchain" just the memory pool (collection of unmined transactions that have been sent). EDIT: You still need to remove the transaction from your wallet so you can resend, which seems most easily done by (temporarily) creating a new wallet and importing the private keys for all the inputs on the transaction. That sounds like a pain, but it is what it is. |

No refund received. Nearly a month since it was requested.

Is there something wrong with the pool? ... my client has been failed over for approximately 20hrs now
Indeed. p2pool software appears to have file descriptor leak and hit the process limit. I restarted p2pool on nastyfans.org. I will keep my eye on this. Thank you for reporting. There are apparently several leaks in p2pool. On my node I have cron set up to restart it once a week. |

I've gotten a tracking number and I'll have the CoinTerra rig up and running Thursday evening (hopefully).
I would also like to initiate a poll to immediately change our distributions from the current 25/75 split between NastyFans/NastyMining to 50/50.
Support changing from 75/25 to 50/50 |

Crash and burn. No refund.

Is not pretty. It will take you on average 6 days to find a share. That share will be worth enough to cover 6 days of earnings, except the pool also needs to find a block while your share is active.
Some miners with 180GH of hash power don't like using p2pool because of the variance. Using it with 4GH... you can do it, but you might wait weeks at a time without a payment if you have bad luck.
For now, waiting weeks is unlikely (but possible). The average for the pool to find a block is only a day and a half, so very likely it will find one during the three days your share is active. My feeling on this has always been if its a hobby (and it damn well better be a hobby at 4 GH) then treat it as such, have fun with the small "raffle" and help the bitcoin and p2pool networks by running a node This will get worse as difficulty continues to grow if the p2pool network doesn't keep up (and it doesn't look like it will), but still no reason not to treat it like a fun raffle if you are mining as a hobby. |

Is there anyway to disable the wallet function in P2Pool and have it instead forward the percentage of shares the note is to receive to a different wallet? I have hit a stumbling block; over a week a go I initiated a transfer of over 1/2 a bitcoin and Bitcoin-QT told me I need to account for 0.0004 of the fee, so I did that and ever since the transfer has been in limbo, it looks like bitcoin-qt gave me the wrong fee to account for it if I understand the blockchain correctly. https://blockchain.info/tx-index/7bbbc7b5fac8c2973e9c62a17cead946b9cf1832aac47479799ce566fafabcc1Also I need to figure out if can fix this issue or have I lost those coins?  Thanks, Use the addnode listed here and keep your client open and connected so it will retransmit. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Free_transaction_relay_policyIf you can get it relayed, someone will probably mine it. The issue with the transaction is the change output is small so it fails the 0.01 output rule. That is dumb and this rule is being removed but most nodes enforce it now. |

Those would definitely entice a lot more people to give it a try. Good luck!! I have a dream that one day we will reach 500 TH/s.
Too low. In six months 500 TH might well be just one block a week. This is do or die time for p2pool. If adoption doesn't pick up soon, we are facing a death spiral and the need for a full relaunch (which might be okay) |

Both of these make P2Pool easier to use; the eventual goal is being able to run P2Pool on the same hardware miners use, such as a Raspberry Pi, though that would likely require a laborious rewrite in C++ or another compiled language.
Pypy works fine with the current p2pool code, have you tried that? Not quite sure about a RPi, but it should help on a lot of small hosts. Re: The rest. Looking forward to it. Good stuff. |

There is a lot of wisdom here. Worse is better. Programming is not (always) art. But I'll say this. it isn't clear that Mark made 500 million with this code. If we go by the leaked (maybe authentic, maybe not) financials, MtGox really didn't make that much money. It may be that the code made 500 million USD (or perhaps some much smaller amount if the coins were stolen earlier and valued at lower prices) for someone else. If Mark stole 500 million USD and got away with it using this code, then I would agree you are on to something. That's hardly proven. I am going to take this code and learn from it. I haven't ever really had much interest in programming because most all software is shit. So, I guess if one is to learn, may as well start with the SHIT THAT MADE 500 MILLION USD?
PHP all the way + Python, you kiddin me? This is a no brainer.
Okay, so, we probably can agree that what is the real problem is: dickhead intentioned persons who break code, i.e. SQL inject, etc. And Also I bet you would agree with me that these ones will always succeed UNLESS you got VC $$$ with which to test and parse and manage your code.
No way will anything grassroots be done, unless it is one dude typing furiously at his keyboard. WITNESS the code which made functionality happen. Haha, it is so cute to me that programmers think they can obfuscate their trade and call for centralized code and wag their finger at Tron-style creativitiy. Okay, sure, when you look at it, it's dogshit. But when I look at it, I want to learn it.
Everybody interested in making a better PHP world, go ahead and PM line by line as to where th vuln's are in this code, because, I didn't see anyone of you do an exploit that got his wallets, or did you??
I mean, in some ways, if you build cars so that they can withstand rocket-launchers-type-attacks, you are going to have to build tanks rather than cars. So, then that again means that Ike was right about science-money taking over the world. If you do not build better software designers, then there will simply be a whole new generation of them. And eventually they will decide to de-obfuscate all code everywhere. So anyway, I am learning PHP and Python, because I don't see that programming C++ and making shithot web apps, is really doable in a practical sense. Just my .02 as a desktop tech who writes .bat files but supports low IQ money-based programmers imported from other countries. I agree with those who say the world runs on lousy code --it does, and yet, that it won't be fixed is a frightening truth.

Does anyone know if there is any actual benefit from the new FW upgrade? I know it uses the new CGMiner, but is there actually any benefit? Is it worth the trouble of upgrading all the old firmwares?
My view on these things is always not to install an upgrade just because it's there. If everything is working fine for you and you aren't aware of any improvements that will benefit you directly, leave it alone. This applies to everything, not just Ant miners. |

Do you not see how complicated it would be to implement? WP has no login system, so how do would you confirm what coins you want to not trade?
It could be coded in the worker username or password (/DOGE={address} or the like). Not sure if there are length limits on those though. I kind of disagree that buying the coins yourself is a direct substitute. At that point trading costs are being paid twice, which is dumb. Development priorities is certainly a valid reason to implement one feature over another though. |

Anyone have the source for the new firmware? One of my ants is not showing any work. I don't know whats going on with it. It doesn't show up at the pool either.
Pool settings are wrong or there is a compatibility issue between that pool and the cgminer in the miner. Try a different pool. |
