bullshiet, your intention of correcting my grammar was clear : to belittle someone in an argument. What you've done so far was to show English isnt my mother tongue. Jackass.

I'm not trying to be mean, nor am I insulting your language. Call me whatever you want, I'm trying to help you here. I understand I come off as a total jerk, making grammar suggestions in long, complicated, extremely polite sentences just takes too long. Apologies for any offense caused.

Requesting more details of a claim somehow turns into "being quite the expert" ? Or was that your ill brain to pick on someone?

I love the " without ill intent" part.

Maybe English is native to you, but frankly your brain isnt as wonderful as you hoped it to be. Botnets always exist because the nature of the term. But saying the hashrate increase is due to botnets is what i'm troubling to see. My post clearly hinted why? CPU mining isnt fast. You're suspecting there are hundreds thousands of bitcoin botnets.

With no ill intent, you must have a sad live.

That was rude and unnecessary, I apologize.

I'm glad you appreciate my meager attempt to be polite. Obviously I needed to up the ante a bit.

I'm not sure how the discussion turned to my brain, but I agree, I certainly wish I had an eidetic memory, which alas I do not. And I don't see where I stated anything about "hundreds of thousands" of Bitcoin botnets. By all means please argue with me, but I'd prefer you don't misquote me.

My brain, then my life. You switch topics rather quickly. I find my life rather enjoyable, but you can consider it whatever you want to. That's not really relevant, though.

So whats your disputing?
Being a grammar police doesnt help jack.

so let me ask, do you have any idea of what you're talking about?



What am I disputing, not what's I disputing, and "police" is plural, not singular. Correcting your grammar may not endear me to you, but it will help your English grade.

I am disputing the claim you made in the post I quoted:

I know ppl throw botnets around alot on the forum, but is there any actually proof? anyone bother did forensic search?

I cant imagine all the botnets happend to have GPUs (high end ones), last time i look CPU mining is utterly low .

Doing a "forensic search", since it seems to be something you're quite the expert on, is not a trivial task, nor is it without risk. Even assuming someone wished to conduct such a search, the existence of a botnet is not necessarily easy to prove. I do not agree with many of the threads you term FUD in these forums, but some of them are based off information indicating a likely botnet. If a botnet got to the point where one could consider it's existence "proved" without a reasonable doubt, chances are we would be inable to do anything about it. Proactive concern is not always productive, but it's far better than the alternative.

I have managed to get my hands on iMine botnet thingy and all it does is connects to a specified pool.
Of course I will not be using it as a botnet as advertised.
Are you able to determine who's code it is based on? Ufasoft, cgminer, etc? Can you tell what language it is written in?
It would appear to be coded in vb6 and uses Ufasoft.

Visual Basic... Not exactly the programming language of choice I would have expected from a hacker.

I obviously meant digital forensic investigation.

Quote
Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics relating to the monitoring and analysis of computer network traffic for the purposes of information gathering, legal evidence, or intrusion detection.[1] Unlike other areas of digital forensics, network investigations deal with volatile and dynamic information. Network traffic is transmitted and then lost, so network forensics is often a pro-active investigation.[2]

Maybe this is why this forum is full of FUDs.

We're not disputing the meaning of the term, the last time I checked. And FUD is not a singular noun, you don't add an s. Wink

Anyone having connection issues again?
I have been for several hours.

I'm connected just fine.

totally dead here.  ABCpool is down as well. 

No public work but connected fine to gpumax and on to Ozco.in

Same, I'm running BTC Guild through GPUMAX with no issues. I'd suggest checking your set pools. If ABCPool is down, that may well be your problem.

I wonder if bitsingles are responsible for it...
nope, just botnets.

I know ppl throw botnets around alot on the forum, but is there any actually proof? anyone bother did forensic search?

I cant imagine all the botnets happend to have GPUs (high end ones), last time i look CPU mining is utterly low .


Did anyone do a "forensic search"? With no ill intent, do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Those are fake reports of guiminer I guess. Best to check your real hashrate is to use 24h stats on ozcoin. And could be as well that you're getting extra mhashes out of your cpu. Check your cpu usage.

Been there, done that. The results are legit. I've been using those settings for over 6 months and both guiminer and every pool I've mined at show the same results. I can't really check results over a 24 hour period as I'm not a dedicated miner, I'm a dedicated gamer.

Run a second worker on phoenix 1, and you get a major boost in Mh/s. Well, you do with 6870's anyway and someone else told me that they got a 40 Mh/s increase on a 5830 at stock settings.



Just for verification, would you mind posting a screenshot? Not that I don't trust you, but those results are beyond anything I've ever seen for a 6870.

They are cheap as well atm - if you think 0.3 BTC for 1 MH/s is good, then the price for this one would be 0.3 * 2.1 = 0.63 BTC.
The asks are slightly above, the bids below that value, so you can make a good deal.

Shhh!

You're raising funds for a CNC machine to make plywood boxes for nickels? < Not sure if serious >

The bitcoin community is highly intelligent and pretty good at maths. The average gamer is not.
Referring to your target demographic as idiots on a public forum is not a good start PR wise Wink

The chances that a significant amount of customers would read this thread are very low. Plus, remember what Zuckerburg used to call his users... Wink

Well, you're certainly not mincing words.

Grix, dont forget that you get what you pay for.

And don't forget that, with all due respect, you have a conflict of interest. Wink

Just want to make sure I'm understand you correctly. You want a website frontend, but you plan to execute the trades manually?

And, no insult intended, make sure you've replaced the default line in /etc/bamt/pools with your pool configuration.

My only fear for this company is an IPO.

Your only fear? A lot of things can go wrong with a ~$1m (currently) Bitcoin mining startup, many of them much more catastrophic than an extended IPO.
477  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] Diablo Mining Company (DMC) on: May 09, 2012, 01:51:02 AM
Okay, I ended the IPO amount poll 10 hours early.

25k BTC    - 48 (35.8%)
50k BTC    - 23 (17.2%)
100k BTC    - 31 (23.1%)
250k BTC    - 11 (8.2%)
500k BTC    - 4 (3%)
1m BTC    - 17 (12.7%)

Average comes out to 203k. I guess 200k isn't so bad. The ride is going to be much rougher, though.

Diablo Mining Company: the $1m USD Bitcoin Startup.

And the median 50k. Use whichever you wish, but note the difference. Means are not necessarily the most useful average.
478  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Unofficial "High MHash"/"Best Settings" GPU Comparision Thread on: May 08, 2012, 05:13:31 AM

Huh, something doesnt quite add up, a 5850 at 850 doing 400Mh , either you run imaginary superman juice on that card or something doesnt add up, seems way to high for that clockspeed.
Your right, that was only a peak. ^^
Under Desktop usage the cards have ~330Mh/s

That's very strange - running non graphically-demanding programs should not take 70 MH/s off...
479  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Kickstart the Bitcoin Kickstarter! on: May 08, 2012, 04:35:04 AM
I spend $200/month on kickstarter/indiegogo. If you make it, I will definitely come. 

BitcoinStarter has been under construction for 6 months+, makes we wonder when it is finally going to be launched.  Hopefully it will be worth the wait.  Skeptical but optimistic.

Tangentially, if someone can figure out a good way to offer fulfillment insurance alongside a kickstarter interface, I think it would be really powerful.  It would offload risk that the project owner fails to follow through, so you either get the product or money back.  A debt-trading platform laid on top of this would be amazing.

Ditto. There's nothing wrong with multiple platforms. Demand will be large, the market can support two easily. Good luck John, hopefully you'll get this off the ground quickly.

Yep, our daemon for processing deposits/withdrawals had died, and as usual the timing was perfect (I was on a bus heading down to London).

All fixed now.

It should be quite easy to make a cron that attempts a command on the daemon and if it fails to restart it. Hope it helps Smiley

Speaking of, it appears to have died again. 24 confirmations, no funds, and us.glbse.com/portfolio/bitcoin gives an internal server error.

EDIT: Seems to be fixed now.
