No, it wasn't


Check out my new public AntPool block data API, hopefully you will be able to extract some nice pools stats from here and integrate them with your global pool surveys. With about 25% of the global hashrate, I guess it can improve stats quality.

Now everyone can scrape block data easily and without the hassle of authentication.

In atheism religion, most important thing is to get as big ego as possible. That's what every true atheist is trying to get,
they have to be always right or else their felings get hurt and they start to post lame internet memes  

A Religion is a sets of dogmas on Faith.

There is nothing extreme on a definition.


Best regards.

The point is the description. Of course the people who want it this way, or the people who want it that way, are often going to describe using descriptions that point in a direct that they want to describe in. The thing to do is to take the descriptions, break them down, and see what is accurate... if you are even interested.

The way that the various atheists act regarding their atheism is extremely similar to the way people of formal religions act regarding their religion. There are lots of atheists that hardly ever give their atheism a second thought. There are lots of people of the various formal religions that hardly ever give their religion a second thought. There are all kinds of atheists that have "heavy" dogma regarding their atheism, and they express it just the way they want it to be. We all know that there are people of formal religions that do similar with their religion.

If you consider Christianity to be a religion, you might consider that Islam is not when comparing the two. Yet the differences between Christianity and Islam are simply distinctions in religion. It is the same with atheism and Christianity and Islam. One of the distinctions that atheism has is that generally they don't consider their religion to be a religion. One of the distinctions that Christianity and atheism have is that they don't consider their religion a government, while Islam does.

The similarities between atheism and religion are so great that if atheism is not a religion, it is extremely close.

There is plenty of information that shows that atheism is a religion. The funny thing about it is, when you come to information that describes how atheism is NOT a religion, it says it in such a way that essentially proves atheism to be a religion.

WHAT IS ATHEISM?

No one asks this question enough.

The reason no one asks this question a lot is because most people have preconceived ideas and notions about what an Atheist is and is not. Where these preconceived ideas come from varies, but they tend to evolve from theistic influences or other sources.

Atheism is usually defined incorrectly as a belief system. Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods. Older dictionaries define atheism as "a belief that there is no God." Some dictionaries even go so far as to define Atheism as "wickedness," "sinfulness," and other derogatory adjectives. Clearly, theistic influence taints dictionaries. People cannot trust these dictionaries to define atheism. The fact that dictionaries define Atheism as "there is no God" betrays the (mono)theistic influence. Without the (mono)theistic influence, the definition would at least read "there are no gods."

Why should atheists allow theists to define who atheists are? Do other minorities allow the majority to define their character, views, and opinions? No, they do not. So why does everyone expect atheists to lie down and accept the definition placed upon them by the world’s theists? Atheists will define themselves.

Atheism is not a belief system nor is it a religion. While there are some religions that are atheistic (certain sects of Buddhism, for example), that does not mean that atheism is a religion. Two commonly used retorts to the nonsense that atheism is a religion are: 1) If atheism is a religion then bald is a hair color, and 2) If atheism is a religion then health is a disease. A new one introduced in 2012 by Bill Maher is, "If atheism is a religion, then abstinence is a sexual position."

The only common thread that ties all atheists together is a lack of belief in gods and supernatural beings. Some of the best debates we have ever had have been with fellow atheists. This is because atheists do not have a common belief system, sacred scripture or atheist Pope. This means atheists often disagree on many issues and ideas. Atheists come in a variety of shapes, colors, beliefs, convictions, and backgrounds. We are as unique as our fingerprints.

Of course most atheists don't care. They are happy with their not caring about religion.   

Not sure what the criteria for getting into this list is, but strange that it does not include BW.com? They are the 5th largest pool out there, offer PPS & PPLNS with a novel slider system that allows you to change the % between the two payment systems and have a fee of only 1% which is probably one of the best out there?

Well, that's an improvement. Admitting that you are not sure, is a sure sign that you are interested in finding out at least a little of the truth.

strayanbit you are not born an alcoholic. You are not born a genius. Every thing is a choice to choose the path. So yes I feel homosexuiality is a choice. Nothing wrong with saying god or not just have more respect for people that take a stand on an issue instead of flip flopping.

The existence of God looks like an obvious truth to the believers, but to the non-believers it is, as if covered with seven veils. I have gathered some points from every day logic and some from historical prospective to provide a base to prove existence of God to the non-believers. I understand that each point that follows could be a topic for discussion, but I have tried my best to put as much as possible in a limited space.

I'm updating my code to add a public block API that was always missing from the original API.

It will be derived from the publicly accessible data on their website, for some reason this data cannot be queried from their API at all, so I will be adding this in a few hours. Additionally it's currently script-inaccessible because of the same CF issue.

Stay tuned...

I've made an alternative API here because of this issue, although I guess it's useless to you as you were doing it through their website and not their API.

About scraping their blocks, their guide doesn't even document this AFAIK. That's too bad

So ... I was trying to work out the CDF[Erl] of a pool getting 150 blocks a month, for 3 months, with mean difficulty of 1.25 (luck of 80%)

I can't get a reasonable result at the wolfram site it keeps telling me it's 1, so yeah I guess that means it should be ever so rare
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=CDF%5BErlangDistribution%5B450%2C+450%5D%2C++1.25%5D

Using my own code I get the same effective answer
cdf_gamma_Q is 0.999997 (and cdf_gamma_P is 2.7091e-06)

So that's like saying (in my non technical words) the chance of doing that badly or worse is like 1 chance in 369,126?

What am I doing wrong?

(and then it would be even worse with a higher number of blocks ...)

Oh, when you have a sec, could you update my pool to say 18 SPM (not 12)
No idea how I got that wrong long ago

It was a post from a sigspammer and added no value effectively just repeating an announce for tricky's pool.

thank you, im sure i already posted in this thread, but extra posts are always welcome

Looks good but our URL is https://cloudminer.com and the www redirects, do you mind fixing this?
