Come mi dimostri che una banconota da € 50 nel tuo portafoglio è la tua e non è la mia ?
solo perché è al portatore.

Beh, anche il bitcoin e' chiaramente al portatore, chi ha le chiavi e' il proprietario, perche' e' l'unico che puo' disporne (a meno di indirizzi multisig controllati da soggetti diversi).

E da qui nasce il problema di dichiarare quanti se ne posseggono nel quadro RW, nel caso se ne possegga quantita' ingenti, perche' sarebbe come dichiarare che in casa si tiene un sacchetto di monete d'oro o una somma ingente in contanti.

Hi all,

it seems this problem has been identified

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3131

Let's hope it gets fixed.

I'm on a mac os as well (10.5.x)

I've had 31 SP20s hosted with JeffColo for more than a year (just sold them all) and his service has been top notch the whole time.

I will surely host with him again in the future if S9's price comes down and/or some new miner gets sold to the public at large.

7  Bitcoin / Group buys / Re: [lee group]1150$! The group buy of hosted bitmain S7 @4.73T online on 27th Jan!! on: February 24, 2016, 05:26:11 PM


The main reason i want to go via this proxy is that i have one central web interface (the stratum-proxy has a decent one) under my control where i can tell Lee Team once to point my miners to the proxy as first pool and change all pool priorities, worker settings and more myself after that. It's really a win-win.

mxnsch,

if your proxy is outside of China you'll end up against the Great Firewall of China and your miners will not be able to reach it (stably at least).

So you'll need to have a pool inside China at least as a backup.

I'm mining with Lee since the beginning of 2014 and in the end I was forced to use Chinese pools to have reliable mining (I was using Slush's proxy running in a datacenter in Europe).

I know that exchanging or "core" charges may complicate a project that aims to be very simplistic and straight forward.  It may be possible to have a "complete" miner and a blade for the DIY guy but that will depend a lot on the final design from Sidehack. 

Having stackable boards requiring just a raspi to run or boards you can put in a wooden frame like in the good old days of GPUs would be a plus, IMHO.

Or something like the m/h boards of the first bitfury rigs; maybe they can run with just a fan blowing on them.

Are there any other expenses? What about PSUs? Are they included in hosting cost?

I appreciate the interest from people, here are a few comments to clarify.

I do not wish to break up the 25 units into smaller batches.
At current difficulty and hosting fees, the miners generate approximately $1300 USD profit per month. That is calculated using 1155*25= 28.875 Th with fees being $0.065/kWh

Bottom dollar on the 25 units with hosting - $7000 USD in BTC
Bottom dollar without hosting is $5750 USD plus shipping costs. 

Thanks

Hi kilo17,

when does the prepaid hosting end?

Hi Jim,

you know it already for sure, anyway I think my problem comes from here:

https://github.com/miracle2k/protobuf/blob/master/java/src/main/java/com/google/protobuf/CodedInputStream.java

see comment to method setSizeLimit(), it is just a hardcoded limit.

Regards.

spiccioli
 

Hmm, if you were only using 0.5.18 then it probably wouldn't be a format thing.

It is a pretty big wallet you have there and the error message seems to be related to the wallet size:
com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message was too large.  May be malicious.  Use CodedInputStream.setSizeLimit() to increase the size limit.
   
Classic isn't being actively developed now though I will raise this as a bug.
We don't produce releases of Classic very often now so it's not going to get fixed quickly.

I would recommend moving your wallet to blockchain.info using:
https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.5/help_movingAWallet.html

If you use an older backup of your wallet you should be able to open it and export your private keys.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your answer, I'm on 0.5.19 and I've been using it since it came out.

Before it I was using 0.5.18 and that wallet has been in use since a couple of years ago with daily movements.

So why is it still using the old format?

Isn't it enough to open it with 0.5.19 to have it converted to the new format?

Does its size, 68 megabytes, pose any problem in handling it?

Thanks


spiccioli






The very early versions of MultiBit (up to 2012 I think) used a different format for the wallet (Java serialisation rather than protobuf).
Only the protobuf version is supported now.
For a while the old versions were read in and converted to protobuf when written out so that users that updated via each version would not have noticed.


The old versions are still available on the multibit.org website if you have deleted the older version you can reinstall it.

Probably the best thing to do is:
+ using the old version of MultiBit Classic, empty the wallet to somewhere else.
+ install the latest version of Classic (or try out MultiBit HD) and create a new wallet.

Very old versions of MultiBit Classic don't even connect to the Bitcoin network any more (as things have changed over the years). In this case then:
+ Export your private keys.
+ Use the most recent versio of Classic and import them. Or import them to blockchain.info using the help article on how to do this.

10:40:19.275 [main] ERROR org.multibit.file.FileHandler - com.google.bitcoin.store.UnreadableWalletException Could not parse input stream to protobuf

It had no problems a few days ago to update the same wallet and send some, wallet size is 68711158 before starting MB.

What can I do now?

Even the rolling backup gives the same error and it selects an old backup from beginning of this year which, apart from requiring a few days to completely sync, makes me really nervous, what if I can't load this wallet anymore?

Regards.

Will be reopening the shop soon! The chip is crazy and amazing.

Anyone interested in H-cards with 16nm chips?

the price matters. we've learned a lot since summer 2013.  Wink

but thank you for a sign to the retailers which are able to risk money.

Yeah,

first units were sooo overpriced and I know from experience... sob Wink

Well then, the deadline's come and gone and we didn't get enough interest. Too bad, I was looking forward to picking up a few Avalon6 units for myself! Perhaps we can try again with a later batch.

Those who reserved units please PM me with the address you would like your deposits refunded to.

It's a pity.

Hosting fees are really good and even PSU lease is an idea which should be tested, but units are way overpriced, much more so with BTC at current level.

At 450 USD per BTC it would have been very different (well, if Avalon does not increase their price at 2000 USD each).

armedmilitia,

you said we have 10% discount on units from site's price.

They're priced at 13900,00 USD per 10 units, so their price should be around 1250,00 each at least from 10 units, I see them at 1300-1320 instead.

What am I missing?

Hmm, the price on the site was previously 14.4K, they must have changed it recently. But yes, we get the advantage of pi's.

Ah, ok, so now we're at 1251,00 USD plus as much RPis as we need and they're selling them at 75 USD each, so maybe we can source them elsewhere for less.
