Scratch that - it seems Phoernix miner fails with EU/s3, but not US, yet DiabloMiner works on S3, so I swapped  |

Almost all computers have power-saving - they odn't use as much energy when idle. So if you do this, you use more electricity. So it's probably pointless.

I've donated the small sum of 0.05BTC. |

Actually, miners do change the number of bitcoins generated - if hashing power constanty increases, we get more than 300BTC per hour, as the difficulty only changes every 2016 blocks. The inverse also applies.  Whether this changes how many are sold much, I don't know |

Yes, and in that sense Windows can provide the exact same protection, because even back in XP there was an option to encrypt/shut off your user directory, so that other users (even administrators) couldn't access it.
Is there any third party software that makes use of permissions in Windows like this effectively? Is there a way to handle this type of usage case, even for versions of Windows without user configurable permissions (i.e. versions below Pro)? As far as I know, it doesn't actually work, kust makes the stuff impossible to list, but if you know the name of a file, you can get it. That, or my school network does it wrong |

I wonder if Namecoins has just uncover a flaw in the Bitcoin system.
Just take a look at what happen with Namecoins now, someone just brought up some serious hash power, taking the dificulty from 3500 all the way up to 55k, then retired back to Bitcoins (i guess).
Now Namecoins are on a depresion, pleople stoping mining them, next dificulty is stimated at 16k, but at this rate it will not happen until 07/08/2011.
If you want to crush a crypto currency like this and you have lot of hasing power, i think the best plan is to increase the hashing power up gradually, them retire. Imagine what could happen to Bitcoins if the hasing power goes back to 2 thash/s now...
Actually, a load of peopel moved over because it was more profitable to mine NMC and exchange for BTC at bitparking than to mine BTC! Of course, this didn't last, as you can see... |

Well, the site's down. I wonder what vulnerability someone found! It already did strange stuff such as echoing SQL statements...

I haven't been using Eligius since the US server went down. I get far too many disconnects with the "new" Eligius, and, the long polling appears to be broken... I get rejects, then about 10 seconds later, long-polling notice...  Which port are you connecting on? If I use 8337 it works okay, but if I use port 80 I get tremendous amounts of long polling errors. Not saying you should switch, but rather just trying to gauge if we are having the same issue as me8337, I'm afraid. Unless Phoenix sets long polling port separately. If so, howishot set it? |

Oh, that's good |

The people not giving their 1% to the jackpot shouldn't be able to win the jackpot! Otherwise, one will effectively earn extra money, over time, if they are a mini-pool owner, and the rest lose out on their 1%, as even those not donating to the jackpot can win it!

Eligius is the reason - They pay with generation, so it shows up as if it's a block, except ypu only get a share of it, not the full 50. The reason you got it now is that tehy pay out on any amount after a week of inactivity. |

Hey, I've been solo mining since June 12th. I copied the wallet on my mining server over to my laptop so I would be able to see when I solved a block. I managed to successfully solve a block for which I received 50 BTC. Later on I received a couple pending payments from BTC Guild. Since then I've managed to solve two more blocks, but for these I only received 0.36299659 BTC and 0.12603918, respectively. Does anyone know what's going on? Where are my bitcoins...? BTC guild payments? Eligius, if it says generated. Some pools now split generated blocks to reduce fees. Also, try getting a nw copy of the wallet, and running -rescan... Just in case!  |

New patch today, maybe you'll no longer have issues with EVE? |

What about Linux primarily, Windows for gaming? |

I don't know much about electricity yet... but it sounds like a pretty simply job.
That's the last phrase of someone gunning for the Darwin award. Seriously, playing with electricity that contains enough amps to kill you outright is NOT something that is recommended, unless that is your job and you've got education to back it up. Not at all, ampere don't kill you. Even heard about someone being electrocuted by a car battery? I guess not. And you can easly get hundreds of Amperes out of them Electricity starts to be harmful at about 50 Volts. BTW, PSU are not transformer, they are AC/DC switching units (note the plural). You can't just connect some of them together, you'll just end up frying all your hardware. PSU is both a transformer and AC/DC switching unit. First you need the transformer to get to proper voltage, then you put in a transistor bridge, few diodes etc. and you got yourself DC. I also would recommend a regulator and few small capacitors and low Ohm resistors, and a heatsink for the regulator(s). The combination of regs, capacitors and resistors should filter everything out Working with high amperage low voltage is safer than high voltage low amperage IMHO, because the electricity does not "jump" as easily. High voltage is needed for being able to go through highly resistive materials (see Tesla coils for example. That's also why engine spark wiring insulation is such an important factor). My hobby used to be RC cars, and i had 7.2V 400A peak battery packs... I was more worried about getting them pierced while driving (and resulting explosion & fire) than getting a shock. Here is how you can build it: http://engknowledge.com/power_supply_design.aspxI would design it to be quite parallel, meaning multiple transformers, multiple bridges, multiple capacitors etc etc. So that any single component has smaller impact if it fails on operation, or is otherwise flaky. I would design regulators, capacitors etc. well beyond required spec to reduce risk of failure. Also, doing it from this low level you could add some basic electronics to handle backup power, see for example: http://www.dreamgreenhouse.com/designs/12v/index.php (links to their UPS project), http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/super_ups , http://1wt.eu/articles/alix-ups/Last one is the most intresting one infact Google is your friend, but i wouldn't suggest trying this with no past experience on the required scale.... I accidentally shorted out a li-po.... Fortunately, it iddn't explode, because the wire got so hot that it failed! Into salt-water it went... A waste of ~2BTC! |

I got a few. Let me just check that my brother didnt use/sell them all from the account. Should know by noon pst
PST? Is it noon now? Pacific standard time, if he doesn't got the PLEX I think I can get you enough ISK to buy one in game. I know what it is, I thought it was after noon at the time that I posted, though. Maybe I should check instead of trying to remember... I'm interested, could you PM? |
