This is a brilliant way of keeping your thread at the top of the forum, btw! Tongue

People tried tracking him back in 2010, turns out some of the emails he sent originate from internet cafe's and public libraries in Tokyo. So the person at least physically resides there. I'd say there is a high likelihood he is of Japanese descent as well.

Why does perfect English have to mean he is not natively Japanese?
Considering his staggering expertise in cryptography, programming and mathematics I wouldn't say it's too far-fetched to think he is extremely well-educated, maybe even self-learned.

Not being from the UK or USA doesn't automatically mean you make grammatical errors, spelling mistakes or use poor language.
In fact, it means you're less likely to make grammatical mistakes, as you haven't used the method we appear to have in the UK(I odn't know what happens in the USA), "I'm a teacher, I won't teach you grammar, if you can't do it you should've picked it up already from reading!".

Strange: everyone seems to get around 200 Mhsish or more with their 5770, but mine (overclocked at 900) does not go beyond 178-180 Mhs with Phoenix miner, patched phatk, using this script: -k phatk DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=6 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false.

Any advice?
(More aggression does not increase much the performance and it hogs too much my puter, while at 6 it stays fairly responsive as I need.)

BTW: with this setup temp is at 75-76 C. Should I change termal paste/ increase ventilation, or that's fine?

256 Worksize, downlock memory to 300.

Overclock MORRREEE!!!! IF you hate long-living cards you can get 1080MHz core
185  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Instant payments (Was: Why bitcoin won't make it) on: July 04, 2011, 05:45:24 PM
As long as you are willing to trust a minor amount of your bitcoins for a very limited period of time to any instant wallet service, it will work out.
Your idea fails here. First you can only trust a minor amount of coins which makes buying expensive things impossible, second if you're a merchant you have no way of finding out if you really were sent coins or not, it's the same as relying on the customer saying "I've sent you the coin, you'll receive it later, can I have my goods now?"

The best approach I could come up with to date is to create a central bitcoin payment processor for banks. This payment processor would have to be a non-profit organization and would ensure an even playground for all the banks wrt instant payments. The banks would store some money with this payment processor and as soon as a bank issues a transfer using the payment processor's api, the payment processor can confirm a transaction. So basically this would be a bank for banks.

188  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [330 GH/s] "Eligius" pool: almost feeless PPS, hoppers welcome, no registration on: July 02, 2011, 10:58:39 PM
You can't see individual stats for each worker unless you give each its own address (which might cause you to get spammed with small transactions once they come over the threshold), but otherwise I think Artefact2 has built one of the most detailed stats pages of any pool.
if you do that you need to copy paste one address for each worker and when you want to checks stats will be a pain

Double-slot cards don't use two PCIE slots - they just need two slots of space in teh computer case! Smiley (Based on what I'm interpreting oyur issue to be... Tongue)

I run everything at 100% and sleep in the room Smiley

And of course, an additional fan pointing at the case is required.
192  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: hd 6950 crazy temps ?! on: July 01, 2011, 12:29:08 AM
Don't run auto fans! Run 100%. (Unless you get  low enough temps without Tongue)
193  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: anyone donating on BTC Guild? on: June 30, 2011, 09:39:49 PM
Invalid blocks, not shares. 2.5% does have an advantage over not having it, if you choose to donate, however, the amount depends on what percent of blocks are invalid on btcguild!

HEy, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! If you just want to set a speed, click the thing showing it as auto - it's a button, if you click it, you can set a speed, it's not just an indicator! And undo the previous posts' recommendations if you want to use normal auto when you set it to auto! Tongue
195  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Missing threads, blame Theymos on: June 30, 2011, 08:42:52 PM
So who's to blame here, we need to find a target to point fingers at.
Either the DB got corrupted (say, per post unique IDs were not unique or other mysql sillyness), or SMF writes shitty software.
Theymos's screenshot shows the forum thought I deleted 4 threads, when I deleted 1 post (another GimEEE troll post).
Speaking of which, hey Theymos, why isn't he banned yet? A lot of people have asked, including me.
Evidence or I'm calling troll on you (again, because authoritarian deleted the last time I called you out).
You trolled me above here with inadequate evidence.
Even worse, I'm calling you an authoritarian censor, evidence above in this thread!

There's a right way to settle disputes, and abusing censorship privileges is not right.
Quoting this so I can verify that this was modified if it is modified. And so I have a post of it to know if mine gets deleted quoting this. I don't expect it to happen Tongue
196  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Miners quitting en masse -- so it begins. on: June 30, 2011, 08:41:15 PM
Quitting bitcoin mining is a wonderful idea. They are much safer now. Unfortunately the quitters are just passing the danger on to others who may be more apathetic or ignorant about safety.

The only harmless mining rig is the one donated to a local library.
Until one of the graphics cards catches fire.
197  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: DiabloMiner GPU Miner (Long Poll, BFI_INT, and never fail async networking) on: June 30, 2011, 01:32:09 PM
Is it possible to make it so that if connection is lost, instead of losing any found blocks, store them and try to submit them when connection is resumed? They may end up being rejected, if it was a long period of no ocnnectivity, but it's more likely that they'll be good?
198  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [330 GH/s] "Eligius" pool: almost feeless PPS, hoppers welcome, no registration on: June 30, 2011, 01:20:49 PM
From the UK. If I use poclbm, or phoenix, they regularly have networking issues, so I lose mining time. Phoenix 1.5, poclbm, whatever the newest one is Tongue
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Fees - do they work? on: June 30, 2011, 01:15:52 PM
It seems, now, that it won't be a very long itme until we hit the 25BTC/block point.

Just now, I see in the blocks Eligius gets, never more than 1BTC in fees, and few with more than 0.2.

Will fees really be enough, as an incentive to mine, in the future? Is the current 0.0005 enforced TX fee by the default client per KB >27 large enough/small TXs large enough?

I've probably misunderstood something completely, or am forgetting something important, sp please point out what I'm doing wrong. I also haven't considered exponential growth in the number of people using bitcoin...
200  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is Bitcoin mining a waste of time? on: June 30, 2011, 01:06:28 PM
I believe it's a waste of time.


Empty quote much ?

How about you tell us why ?



Calculations, not worth it.

Buy low, sell high.

BTC is dying.
Give us the calculations? I'm still making a nice profit Smiley

It's not worth it to buy new hardware at this point, if the price continues to be the same and difficulty changes continue as they are, but is that likely?

Give your source for "BTC is dying", I don't see this Smiley
