Played some 0.03-0.06 LH and the blinds were 0.03 and 0.06 Huh
I've never seen a limit holdem blind structure like that where the big blind is twice the pre and post flop bets.
pre and post flop?

sb and bb are what you ante up before the flop (*that is, if you're on the SB or BB position).  if you don't want to, then you don't play

re: "48 FREE ROLLS DAILY | 5mbc FREE to New Sign ups"

i never got 5mbc, and these free rolls require 'lucky points' which i really dont feel like wasting time to figure out

I have been extremely thrifty lately, I have saved .00001 bitcoins for the last year.

i have not gotten a bitcoin in over a year

getting $250 every day as some sort of stipend would surely be nice

if you find out how to get a bitcoin every day pls let me know

actually, I have no clue how many "watts" my house has, either.  well, not offhand, anyway.

one could count the # of circuits and come up with a reasonable conclusion, I guess.  you'd be excluding the circuits for the fridge, hot water heater, dishwasher/drier and what not i assume?

speaking of circuits and wattage, I had a 15ft 16 gauge extension cord running from master bedroom circuit to my old mining bedroom, and it melted out my power supply's power connector.  it was pretty cool.  i mean, the power supply was still getting power, but the plastic was liquified.  vry dangerous situation

BE SAFE GO 12 GAUGE (on power supply and extension cord~)

If it's not because of the block checking, it's probably because you have some massive wallet.  Maybe a lot of satoshi dicing in your past, I dunno.

this:

Code:
2015-03-27 08:10:02 Verifying last 5 blocks at level 3
2015-03-27 08:10:05 No coin database inconsistencies in last 6 blocks (1653 transactions)
2015-03-27 08:10:05  block index           15513ms
2015-03-27 08:10:05 No wallet compiled in!
2015-03-27 08:10:05 mapBlockIndex.size() = 349505
2015-03-27 08:10:05 nBestHeight = 349428

is how long it takes to load on a VIA Nano U2250 with some rubbish 160GB HDD and 2GB RAM.    (but I don't use wallet on these nodes of course)

I couldn't find some specific thread talking about this "service", so..

re:  'Thu Mar 26 2015 02:38:20 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time): Crawler restarted: Updated crawler to exclude sybil nodes from 2607:f0d0:1c01:53::0/112 (@af662daf61).'

What is a 'sybil' node?  These nodes you speak of were acting just like any other normal bitcoin nodes, responding to getaddr messages just as any other would.  Normal bitcoin nodes wouldn't connect to all, hmm, 600 or so.

Please don't confuse your monitoring software that spreads like some malignant tumor with a standard bitcoin client, thx

191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitnodes Incentive Program on: March 23, 2015, 07:18:48 AM
This is not user friendly.  I have a full node running I think.  17 connections and it shows up on the node map.  I have no idea how to run a webserver or register my address however.  

What OS?  for ubuntu to validate you can,

make a temporary directory, then make an index.html file with your bitcoin address in it, eg    1Zevusze7BjTpp4srJhx4zkRBxpbgwU4A ..  I use nano, so just nano index.html then input your address, ctrl-x and save.

after that,  run screen from that same temp directory.  after screen starts up:

sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 555        (that puts a webserver on port 555)

after that, ctrl-a + h   to detach from screen

then:

sudo curl --ipv4 -H 'Accept: application/json; indent=4' -d 'bitcoin_address=yourbitcoinaddress' -d 'url=http://xx.yy.zz.xy:555' https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/api/v1/nodes/xx.yy.zz.xy-8333/

and finally you screen -r to re-attach to that screen (assuming you're only using one screen) and wait for the bitnode IP to show up on the log, if it doesn't after 2 minutes or so, you probably have a firewall issue (unblock port 555 in iptables or ufw or whatever you use).

after that, press ctrl-c to quit the python webserver, 'exit' to leave the screen process, and you're done... for a month I think, anyhow.

193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: PHP Bitcoin Node Status Page on: March 23, 2015, 06:33:59 AM
Can this be used with other cryptocurrencies?

It can indeed, as long as they respond over RPC in the same way bitcoind does - I know for a fact that the page works with the LTC node, and should work for most altcoins.
hi craig,

I noticed this site, some 1/2 a year or so ago and relocated it after seeing your topic here;

http://176.10.116.242/xbt_cgi/node_status.pl?sortfield=syncnode&sortdirection=1

this is something (the stats from bitcoind) that you could easily incorporate into what you have already, I'd think..
194  Other / Archival / Re: How (and why) to use the Relay Network on: March 16, 2015, 11:27:43 AM

ofc ipv6 is unreachable, since I disabled it in sysctl.conf.  

If you disable ipv6 in sysctl by removing all ipv6 support things are going to break. You need ipv6 support, though you dont need to have ipv6 configured (it just uses ipv6 sockets for ipv4 because doing both is way too much code complexity)
Yah, had the

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

thing going on. 

Is there a method to get it to just relay blocks instead of blocks and transactions?  It doesn't accept connections to port 8334 anymore, is the only way to do it to modify the source?
195  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [1500 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: March 14, 2015, 05:37:38 AM
Just my mind dump:

In my mind, p2pool needs to see a block every two - three days to stay alive...  Beyond three days work is completely discarded.

I'm a noob, but correct me if I'm wrong.   There's a finite number of blocks discovered, and if P2Pool doesn't have the hash they will be solved by other pools... so "luck" is disproportionately lost as the hash goes down. 

Slush is running at 10-11PH, and yesterday with over 200% luck it found 8 blocks.  100% means 4 blocks a day at 10 PH/s.

so if we're running at 2.5PH/s at 100% luck.. 1 per day might be expected by may not be realistic as larger pools could steal them away before they are solved, no?

Watching rented hash or home grown hash fall off the share list after 3 days is a deal killer.   P2Pool will not continue to retain hash if multiple 4 & 5 day intervals occur on a regular basis.

Seems like P2Pool needs 2-3PH/s minimum  to be viable with the current software state and difficulty.

When I log in and see 1-1.5PH/s I think the 7 day delays are going to continue popping up.

Can someone tell me if my thinking is screwed up?

Well ANY pool needs to have at least 1% of total hashrate to be considered as a solution for the luck factor, today is 3.2 PH.

Having said that P2pool has the potential to become a quite big mining pool.

Require some more active development probably.

Regards

Probably more a case of all the ASIC companies keeping their ASICs and using their own pools. 

they don't seem to keen on giving up future profits for having a little extra $ on hand immediately.  so they then price these ASICs at some absurd price, so only some mining hobbiest will buy them,  so  p2pool grows much slower than these ASIC companies chinese pools

I have my checkblocks set to 3 on my home computer.

I *think* having a larger dbcache makes it a bit slower at the start but speeds it up later... not positive on that though

Latest Bitcoin Core with 2000 connections allowed
2000 connections is not possible, you'll run out of file descriptors. If you edit the code remove the limits you'll end up with arbitrary memory corruption.

is there some reason the base client isn't using epoll?

ed:    and, tbh, i'm finding it odd people are just now mentioning the 46.105.201.xx shenanigans, i have some msg to drharibo about them from late february.  it's like those old snoopy nodes when dozens of them were going.  you block all you (know about) can and eat the rest
198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is too complex for the average person on: March 02, 2015, 05:10:01 AM
Anyone ever got the feeling that Bitcoin is too complex for the average person? The average person wants things as simple as possible, so when the word, Blockchain, Decentralization, etc, come into play, I feel that makes it too complicated for the average person to understand or even care.

yah, that's why I sold all mine at $8

why sold all ?
i bought potcoin and when it price doubled i sell more than half  but not all, essentially i own free potcoin. why sell all ?

for the same reason I sold all my Xcelera (XLA), I guess
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 12 hours unconfirmed transaction - help on: March 02, 2015, 03:21:30 AM
   if you pay 0.0005 it is about 12 cents.

   I try to pay 0.001 which is about 24 cents.

If btc jumps up to 500 a coin I would pay 0.0005 which would be about 25 cents
whats the point of paying 0.001 when the deposit goes through easily with 0.0001 fee?

i'm unsure with this new version, I think it adjusts fees based on tx volume, but not positive about that.

anyway, it doesn't (or didn't, maybe) ALWAYS go through easily with a 0.0001 fee, esp. if it was 900-999 bytes.  this is why you do something like 0.000101
