Thanks. Agreed. Was just wondering if it would make more sense for a high speed node network. But the more I think about it, the less centralized it becomes and that doesn't seem like a good thing. I really like the implementation of CKPool. I was running a full node earlier, but my cap is 350gb and with the household, I come really close to that with one running.

Ok, since there's no such thing as stupid questions...  Can a pool get it's block info from any node that's port 8333 is open? I realize most run their own node, but just curious. Heading over to page 1 again in case it states it there. Edit: Ok, guess not. Pools look at 8332? Maybe I'm missing something, but why wouldn't we want pools to be able to get info from any node? |

Gleb you opened up a whole new tangent. West Plains MO. MO is the meth capital. Could there be a link?

I was kind of curious before trying to install CKPool to play around with. What kind of share logs does it produce or the format of them?
By default it doesn't log shares unless you enable the -L | --log-shares option. If you do enable share logging it creates subdirectories for each stratum work update and a sharelog entry, eg: logs/00058798/558b38ff00000000.sharelog each share is logged and looks like this: {"workinfoid": 6164083182854471680, "enonce1": "00398b55", "clientid": 1, "createinet": "localhost:3333", "workername": "a", "createdate": "1435187472,294148559", "nonce2": "030000", "ntime": "558b38ff", "diff": 1.0, "result": true, "nonce": "9ffc0151", "hash": "00000000b2768b34f5af2ddcb197fbb8e30e2f2cdf9052bc23884de4fe6e86b1", "sdiff": 1.4344486271514834, "errn": 0, "createby": "code", "createcode": "parse_submit", "username": "a"} Thanks for the post. That was exactly what I wanted to know. For my own playing around, I didn't want to have to deal with a database. The logs look like they would be fine for importing csv info to calc if I wanted. |

Interesting read. I only understand 1/2 of it though. But I do understand economics and supply/demand. The increase in block size will make no difference in the long run if fees are not addressed for both transactions and nodes. In 12 years, a 20mb block with no transaction fees won't do anyone any good. That said, in this early stage of adoption, fees will cause less adoption.

I've got:

stuck away on a NAS that I can upload if necessary. Just let me know if no one has one posted.

Do you guys it's a good idea for us to just buy bitcoins straight from coinbase? And hope it goes up? That would be a risky way, but we can't rely on anything, and that's a fast way if bitcoin suddenly goes up. What do you guys think?  I would avoid Coinbase, as there have been various complaints from users about arbitrarily cancelled orders. There are various alternative exchanges from where you can buy coins. Personally, I use Bitstamp most of the time. I've been using Coinbase since they first came on to the scene. Now I pretty much just use their Exchange to buy/sell. Most of the cancelled orders were because Coinbase wasn't authorized to transact business in the location the user was in. Here in the US, I've been very happy with their service with the exception of time it takes to transfer funds in/out. |

I actually keep everything in Quickbooks. My day trading is just an investment account. I know how much I started with and the diff at end of year will be gain/loss. My other bitcoin activities are coded as inventory so purchases add to my average costs and sales deduct from it. As much as I transact, all of mine will be short-term captial gains/losses. As to the bitcoins value for purchases, the IRS would treat it like barter exchanges.
Good luck on figuring out mining values since they are always accumulating btc. While not technically correct, the easiest way is to figure the coins you have mined have no basis. As long as they are short-term sales, there really would be no tax difference. I'm pretty sure the IRS doesn't have a good handle on this yet either.

Isn't it only required to be on 0.10.1 on any system but windows?
Indeed, PeterTodd's description on the list is precise. (I didn't want to give people a long list as a recommendation). Heh yeah well ... funny that he posts all the info about the least used miner and only Luke-Jr's bad for bitcoin pool software. (yes I can prove that last statement about eloipool) I thought that was interesting also. Considering the various pools that have come since the eloipool project it doesn't make sense to exclusively name that one. When it comes to miners, naming BFG w/o CG just smells since eloipool was mentioned. I really do worry sometimes as to the fate of Bitcoin when there are so many intertwined players and agendas. |

I was going to take one for the team since they had credit card symbols on the website, but alas at checkout there's only crypto as payment method. I'm calling scam.

I'm just sitting here shaking my head in amazement. The next round of miners ought to be crazy efficient. Keep up the reporting. This is good stuff.

Dude that's not even fair. Maybe I should look into getting a better rate for our setup since 80% of our power consumption is "data center" uses.
Someone mentioned you were in MO. Where are you located? I'm in CoMo. |

If you don't like it, buy from someone else.
I am ! Buying from Coinbase ! True. Coinbase Exchange has been very good to me lately. I also agree with the other poster. I've watched and the price never changed when bitcoin went down. So no, it's not tied to bitcoin. |

same price its been for weeks.. Pretty sure it went from $340. |

Dogie, any idea why bitmain raised his price to $360? Besides the obvious more money?
No idea, but its only $20. Probably an adjustment for a cost increase somewhere. That still adds $.017/gh to an already high $/gh. But I know where you are coming from. Hopefully we'll see some coupons then. |

We're in an industrial zone and run 35K CFM fans and have never had a problem with a noise complaint. Mind you, we're next to an airport, so I guess that probably sets expectations well above the noise we make.
And we're far enough north we do not need evaporators or AC. Location, location, location.
Sounds like a great location for hosting many miners . Bgibso01, do you already know whether regulations apply for allowed noise limits in your area? I know miners can make a horrible noise. So do big fans, but I don't think it is a really loud noise outside; how close is your location away from a neightbour / a public street etc? This would be in an industrial park, so noise shouldn't be an issue. Missouri just past some tax incentives for datacenters coming here or expanding and our industrial rate for DCs would be around $.0202/KWH. |

? Bitmain raised prices on the S5 to $360+shipping?
