Do you think the fork will be a good thing?

Depends on how you look at it. Naturally speaking like nature, things fork/divide - animals and minds evolve. Everything is temporary, forking enables better advancement of technology and flourish of creativity. The technical details are important to understand why things are happening the way they are. It comes down to the idea of why the blockchain was even needed in the first place.

It is open source technology given to you and me to use for free, for the betterment of people; a lot like how the WWW tech was given to the people. It gives opportunity for people to take control of their content, wealth and reputation without security compromise and corporate monopoly - The future will consists of decentralized exchanges and ultimately, because every individual is more important to the ecosystem than few being able to manipulate their exchange for gains and taking advantage of the people.

In recent bitcoin exchanges and corporate exchanges, this has happened. Even in banking this goes on. What can happen, will happen. Humans are animals, but we are also beautiful hearted minds when we are peace. Aristotle, Pythagoras and important other minds would even go to say, our bodies are complex vessels that hold the spirit or soul. The ol' saying, 'I am thinking, about thinking'.

Overall, I think this is very healthy for the blockchain ecosystem. Things will change and people will continue supporting the blockchain ecosystem. Every bite we we eat is the choice we make.

Hello;

I sent coin from Private address to public address.  And my computer lost internet connection during send process.  the Hush left my private address wallet - but never made it to the public address.  It never came back to private address.  Does this happen often?

Can you please supply more information? Pictures, links and other -proof? If 'left private wallet', then most likely you are still learning as I am. It only leaves the wallet if it is sent, if not, then it does not leave the wallet. If does leave the wallet, then it is on the Hush Block Explorer.

What test did you run? Can you repeat the experiment?

madmining.club was not paying to my address for a five days, noticed it just now http://take.ms/fji69

joined that pool few weeks ago and all was fine until this

switching back to nova..

I haven't had that problem at all since I begun mining 2 months ago...

Hey,

Could anyone explain why the end user would opt in to use HUSH, instead of whatsapp which also has end to end encryption??

hi, It would be nice if devs could post from time to time like it was before, weekly say-hi at least if no tech progress is made. Silence is no good for anything, only if someone with info is loading hush before some hot news. And dont say that its not needed, development before marketing and similar BS. It should be bombed as it can be on all fronts in 2017. Goin up or down, silence and down press an cryptopia will only move investors out. It does not take much time to say hi. Please also dont send me to other chanels like slack, biggest investors are not there, they can google a bit, but beleive me not much..I am in the pro mining bussiness and I see that every day. Kids have computer knowledge, money guys dont, so hush webpage, tweeter, maibe forum and this ANN is their teritory. Agressive pr girl needed, you coding freaks  Grin

Hush is not a coin just anyone can lookup. Having lots of money doesn't mean another should flock to their ways. In fact, those with money and intelligence would surely understand what it means to be a developer, programmer, and nerd. The more nerd, the more competent of using logic and creativity to take imagination to 3D atomic digital reality.

The realms of programming, there are many languages and most people only know one or maybe two languages in their time.

Marketing is all about getting those who missed or couldn't see the golden nugget at the end of the rainbow; teaching others whom do not have the time to learn or diligence to learn for itself. Aka harmonizing and idea to the popular world. Hush is still in its nerd stages so to speak and for those who cannot see this or even the diligence the team is putting in, then let nature take its course I say.

Hush Hodl'r all day every day baby! I will buy all your hush if you don't believe!

I prefer to mine on an established pool with advertised fees.
I'm not going to start believing that those 0% fees pool are doing it from the goodness of their heart.

What? Most definitely no monarch within the Hush dev community!
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] HUSH Secure Private Messaging and Transactions [Equihash] on: September 08, 2017, 05:06:22 AM
The problem seem to be resolved now.
I'm not switching away from Suprnova. It's a trustworthy place and I'll continue supporting it.

Supernova is a quality pool with a small fee, active dev(s) and cool features. We only ask the peers to support other quality pools out there too. My personal favorite is MadBuda's pool. It is similar to supernovas quality, but no fee and a strong Cypherpunk community. The simple fact is, the possibility IS there. It is no one's exact fault, but being awesome developers really. Suprnova use to be 70+ % of the makeup of pools.

Very interested in this, but not exactly sure I understand fully.  Is there an option to either donate .5BTC to help with the startup costs or donate your mining rigs abilities instead?  I don't have any mining rigs or anything like that, but would be very interested in contributing the .5BTC to this fund.  

I'll have quite a bit of disposable income on December 15.  Would it be possible to reserve a spot until then?


Yes, the only option available is to donate .5btc to the address noted & I will put it into reserve until I receive the full amount to purchase / reserve the rig. After I receive and setup the device, each member of the group will be earning their profits as mentioned above [calculated on the cost of MTGOX / BITSTAMP market at the time I receive the rig) If the market fluctuates our profits fluctuates. Simple as that.

To answer your second question: This group buy is based off of first come first serve basis. Seems like the only fair thing to do. I could possibly bring more slots open later, but lets take this one step at a time first =P)
12  Economy / Services / Re: [Group Buy] [Calculations Proof] [.5BTC Donation * 10 = 5btc] [$700/mon] on: December 01, 2013, 09:36:54 AM
So, we pay you to buy gh?
Why wouldnt we just us cex.io?

Instead of a Cumulative return which is more risky, you would receive a instant return every day. I work as a freelancer and will be able to easily maintain the equipment & distribute the wealth evenly per day. This will intertwine with the time I spend working.

Plus: There would be 0 maintenance fee's. You would receive every penny you earned from mining in this group. Only revenue I would be gaining from is through donations. I would be a user who would not reap extra benefits, but the joy of maintaining the equipment, helping others out & earning my one tenth of the proportions + electricity fee based on my area code.

[Group Buy] [Calculations Proof] [.5BTC Donation * 10 = 5btc] [$700/mon]

Participants: 1 / 10
Amount of BTC donated: .5 / 5 or $5,500
Total Hashing Pwr: 2,000 GH/s
Total Monthly Earning$ / User: $700.00
Benefits: Market Protection, Secure Encrypted Wallet Password Protected & stored away from the internet, Genuine Customer Support, & A Community to keep updated with while earning 4.6x the amount you would earn from mining with only 50gh/s speeds, Inexpensive Intelligent Collaboration Profiting.
Hardware:

.5 btc donation / user gives us the opportunity to purchase more equipment & setup / maintenance. So in all essence lets give some examples mathematically.

8 people chip in and add their hashing power to the plate - The requirements to join would be to have at least 25gh/s worth of power. So in return,


Statistics:
  • *BTC / USD: $1100.62
  • Hardware Price: 5btc = 2000Gh/s [Black Arrow - Prospero X-3]
  • *Hardware Delivery: March 2014 - China
  • *Community Hashing Power = 200Gh/s

Totals FOR 2200GH/s:
  • *Hashing Power = 2200Gh/s
  • *BTC /day =
  • *USD /day = ~$260.71/day
  • *USD /wk  = ~$1825.00/wk
  • *USD /mon = ~$7,300.00/mon
  • *USD /yr  = ~$88,000.00/yr

Community Dividends from being a member:
  • *USD /member = IF HPwr == 2200Gh/s: (8 Members / ((biweekly)3650) = $456.25 / 14 days


Totals FOR 200GH/s:
  • *Hashing Power = 200Gh/s
  • *BTC /day =
  • *USD /day = ~$20.50/day
  • *USD /wk  = ~$178.00/wk
  • *USD /mon = ~$714.00/mon
  • *USD /yr  = ~$8570.00/yr
  • *USD /member = IF HPwr == 200Gh/s: (8 Members / ((biweekly)$357.08) =  ~$44.64 / 14 days.

In all essence:
*USD /member = IF HPwr == 50Gh/s: (1 Member / ((biweekly)$71.75 = ~$82.00 / 14 days or even ~$164.00/mon.

How Is This Possible:

Member donation of XXX number of people would give XXX result for total bitcoin (5)

For Example: 10 members / ([HWCost]5btc) = .5btc per member


Delivery Thoughts:

The delivery time frame is in March or April, if we could find an equivalent rig for a fair price that delivered in December, we could purchase open source hardware or other types as long as we retained 2000gh/s or even 1000Gh/s or possibly lower; it is completely up to the community on what to decide.

Possible Predictions:

If bitcoin continues to rise, the group would benefit dramatically, but if the price drops or economics crash - we all lose no matter if your in the group or without us.

In Conclusion:

Bitcoin enthusiast who don't have a lot of bitcoin or money will be enabled to make more income by working together as a group.

Math Calc: 10 Members @ 2000GH/s HW = User_1 == $234.80 / day( $7,000.00/mon) / 10(members) == $23.40 /day or $700.00/month, rather than the $5.00 / day or $150.00 running only 50gh/s. Essentially, you gain ~4.6 times the profit by working together by a 10 group member community who.

In the end, the community benefits from this understanding & can work together on different ideas using their profits. It's entirely up to you on what you decide to do with your returns, all we ask is to stay apart of the community & regular with the forum / website for this type of organization.  

How Are You Protected?
From the time I receive the bitcoin donation I will store it in a secure encrypted wallet until maximum slots are filled.

Once they slots are filled we will vote on a rig by a selection I provide.

The rig will be stored at a specific address that you will know.

Once I receive the hardware, it will be setup that day & the community will start accepting their returns on a 24hour daily schedule or even possibly a 12 hour rotation, depending on how quickly things work.

 Mountain, Please add some pictures to aid in understanding what you mean please. Pictures are worth more than a 1,000 words =P

Please post some pictures of your config menu when you are connected.

Also, are you using two different IP's on each blade? or are you using 1 specific proxy for each individual blade? For example:
Quote
example.worker:password,example.worker:password
or is it like this for one blade: ?
Quote
example.worker:password,example.worker2:password


Here is a picture of my config for one of the blades, I'm using two different proxy IPs on each blade.  If I use the same proxy IP twice on a blade, it appears to receive 8 shares then return little or none of them:


Here is a picture of what happens when I use a single proxy IP in the miner config:



Thanks!

Edit: I also notice back on page 34 that people were reporting low speeds and the miners switching between pools randomly.  It sounds like I'm probably having the same issue Tongue.


Mdopro1 &  Mountainjam,

  Use this format to input details into the server & user:pass. (After connecting to the config page @ 192.168.1.254:8000) --Config Page for each blade is xxx.xxx.x.254. If you don't change each IP to   ..etc .250,.251,.253,.254 should be different for each blade or you will have an IP conflict.
Quote
user:pass details: example.worker:password,example.worker:password
Server Address: IP_OF_PROXY_COMPUTER1,IP_OF_PROXY_COMPUTER1 (Note: Don't change the IP's or Proxies, keep both of them the same for a individual blade. If you want, change the proxy on another blade, try not to use two separate proxies on 1 config page.)

Also, double check the ports and make sure they are the same for the (pool) your trying to connect to. After you do that, double check everything and click the (update/restart button). =) Hopefully that works.



Eligius supports both getwork and stratum. Is it more efficient to set up a stratum proxy for the blade, or go direct to Eligius getwork?

If you have more than one ASIC rig or blade, then I would go with the proxy... Extremely easy and simple to setup. I used slush's pool and found his proxy good. Here's the link: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto
16  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 19, 2013, 11:30:16 PM
Sad
Having some issues with my 3 new blades.
Have them set to connect to 2 IPs on my network running stratum proxies.  I've set the proxies to connect to both slush's pool and btcguild but they're still having this issue.

For a little while yesterday all 3 blades were running great at 10.7ghash each.  At this point, however, they display much lower hashes from 4-7 k and are not returning a large amount of shares after receiving them.

When I monitor my stratum proxies, it appears that the blades go on with their work, then at a random time after asking for work or submitting a share, the miner pauses, quits, and connects to the other pool in its config for no apparent reason.  The miners keep doing this and keep switching between the 2 IPs I have in their configs.  Apparently, they work for a little while on one computer's stratum proxy, stop sending back shares, then connect to the other computer's stratum proxy and repeat the process.  

Another weird thing is that when I set the miners to connect to one proxy by repeating the IP address in their config, they don't really work at all.  They appear to receive 8 shares then don't really do anything for a few minutes then reset.  Once I specify 2 different pool addresses in the config, the miners properly connect and begin to do work.

Not sure what is going on here, wondering if anyone could give some advice?


Edit: After reading vesperwillow's post from yesterday, it sounds like we could maybe be having the same issue?

Its the Rev 2 board, so integrated NIC. I just bought a new PSU, I can use the 6pin PCIe power right? What about the 4-8pin CPU power? Its 600W, 2 x 12v rails at 18A and 16A, 18ga wire. Does the hardware reset need to be done with power on? The reason I ask is that I've bricked a desktop mobo resetting its CMOS while powered (early days of PC building), and I don't know if this is the same.

Vlad, No. I didn't need to touch the reset pins at all, unless you are actually trying to reset them by "shorting" them out by applying some conductive material across 1-2pin(reset) 2-3pin(factory reset).

Can you also supply me with a link of the PSU or a picture? Hard to help you out man without knowing what PSU you got =) Thanks

Other Info:
How many blades do you have?
Model / Specs of your PSU?
Anything else I might need to help troubleshoot?
17  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 19, 2013, 09:41:28 PM
Question: Is there any way to physically determine if the chips are bad? I can digitally see I have 3 x's in a row and want to make sure the chips are not bad. If they aren't bad, then its my PSU. I have two chips running exactly same config using a 350W 12V rail / 12amps per rail. So if the new blades are already OC'd, then each module should have 1.2V and also have 12V at the power module of the ASIC board. Only thing different is one has 3 x's & the other has O's across the board.

Pictures:
Board 1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1q6q3jtgualykbf/253Config_1.jpg (10.6v @ ASIC pwr Adapter)

Board 2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s74yxlfncwfi2ft/254Config_1.jpg (10.6v @ ASIC pwr Adapter)

Note: Voltage verifed with cheapo multimeter / voltmeter

Possibilities:

Crappy PSU
Wiring could be more efficient. Possibly use another rail for fans / cooling. (currently have 1 rail for 120mm, ASIC board, & 1 5-12V 60mm fan)
Bad chips on the ASIC board.... There use to be 4 X's, but when i moved the rig, somehow it changed it from 4 - 3 X's...<--- Why I think its a power issue, rather than a broken chip..
18  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 19, 2013, 06:13:18 PM
It is an old-cheapo PSU,  300W max. I can't find a molex splitter, as I just moved to a new house and its packed up somewhere in the mountain of boxes. What I did was hack off 2 Molex connectors on seperate rails and spliced the yellow 12v and black ground to the molex connector. Actually, now that I look at it, it appears as though one rail is 1.5A on 12v max while the other is 11.5A on the 12v.





Actually, I'm going to go to Best Buy today and pick up a new PSU for use with this and any future miners I get. Can anyone suggest me a PSU?

Ok awesome. Now take them two extra 5V (red) wires your not using and take 1 ground from each molex adapter & pair them in series with the 5-6V Fan. Turn on PSU after the adapter is plugged into the ASIC board. That should work.

Pictures: (Going to build a custom rig for the cards to slide in eventually) Just happy it works now =)


Hopefully them pictures help =) I took two grounds from one slot of the ASIC main green adapter & added em to the 5V red wires for the 6V fan.  (Note: the 5V fan is on top of the ASIC chip blade)

That should fix your problem. If it doesn't send me a PM or post a reply here. If you decide to purchase a new better PSU. Buy one that is at least 800 Watts & has two 12v rails that supports at least 12amps per rail or more. Its important to have about 12v at asic power adapter & 1.2v on each module.
19  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 19, 2013, 04:56:13 PM

My network is 192.168.1.x, and I have been trying to connect to 192.168.1.254. Actually, I think one of my APs is sitting on 192.168.1.254. Is it normal operation to flash the green light, then stop?

Vladimir - Can you share your PSU specs and take a picture of the modified molex adapter. I had the same problem when working on the blades. Sounds like its a PSU problem and also sounds like your molex modification is correct, but if you have an old or cheapo PSU you will have to use the 5v (red wires) from the molex adapter to power a 5-6v fan. Hope that helps =)


And, no you don't need anything for the reset pins. The 2 pins closest to network adapter factory reset when you short them out and the other two reset the blade and keep the configs from resetting back to default.
20  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Guide] Comprehensive ASICMiner Blade Setup on: September 19, 2013, 04:23:32 PM
Update 3:

I switched around my + & - and put them in series with the ASIC chip. I turn on PSU; Fan starts up then quits & the PSU shuts off. What could be my problem? I am using a 12V rail that is meant for 12A and I only need 1.2Watts / 10Amps per blade.

Problem:
Led light behind the ethernet port starts blinking when I initially power the board, but it shuts off.
PSU works when not connected to ASIC board.
PSU Specs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ymyq88joxuv38o/2013-09-18%2011.08.39.jpg

Possibilities:
Bad PSU
Pulling to many amps from ASIC board
PSU not supplying advertised voltage

Other:
Fuse is working (tested em with diode checker)
Fans come on when not plugged into ASIC (using other 12V Rail to power the fans)
Only reading about 11.5-11.3V on multimeter when no fans are plugged in.
No smoking of the equipment as of yet =P

That doesn't sound right. Don't they need 120Watts per blade? as per OP


Yea, Your right. That is a typo. Its suppose to be 1.2Volts @10 amps / 120 Watts, but thanks for the help..

Update 4:
I found out my PSU problem with the help of Wizkid on IRC.  He gave me the idea to connect my two 5v extra wires to a 5-6v fan. (Older PSU's won't work properly unless power is distributed.) I joined both 5v wires from the modified molex splitter (per OP) & used one ground wire from same rail to power the 6v fan. Plugged it in and boom everything worked. Including the two 120mm fans I have on another rail.
Seen IP connectivity and Connected to the ASIC through the browser at ease =P Now, I need to figure out how to input the settings perfectly =P to mine on slush's pool. Hopefully that is a bit simpler... I have been fiddling with this stuff since yesterday. Should of been much simpler, but I paid 50 bucks for a cheapo pwr supply and ended up wasting valuable time cause of a different power distributing configuration.
 



Update 5:
  • Got both ASIC Blades up and running
  • The second ASIC i have, only runs at about 8gh/s... There are currently 4 x' when I connect to the config page. (Where do i check the voltages on each module to see if its a voltage problem or a power module problem?
  • Connected em to proxy & everything looks like its working for the most part =)
  • Now, I gotta take all the equipment and organize it =P
  • More pictures soon To Come. Also will be creating a better tutorial / Guide... I found this one very very outdated & not specific at all.
