You have to be careful about drive feezing, because if you go too cold, or run the drive for too long at cold then the spindle bearings will be destroyed. The bearings may damage the platter surfaces if they emit any particles or gelled lubricant while running cold, which would dramatically decrease the chances of data recovery by any paid service.
His failed drive is an SSD.

Yeah... you should microwave those for a little while to fix them.


The oven itself must be upside-down, and placed inside a freezer for some time before and while it's working. A popular saying also says "Not too long though, or it could damage it".


I've heard that a quick 10 s dip in liquid N2 followed by a 10-15 min soak in boiling water can do the trick too...

The name doesn't differentiate the product or describe what it is. Burst needs a name change.

The term "Capacity" is ambiguous. Proof of Memory makes more sense.

Change these two things and more people will join.

It's a harddrive coin not a RAM coin.

Kind of semantics, but there's not that much difference between a harddrive and RAM. You can load your whole OS in RAM and you can make RAM act like a HD. It's all 'capacity'.

Cheesus you're classy. With all your activity lately here and on reddit and polo, and posts like this, I can't decide if you're a concern troll or just like 14 years old.

it's very concerning that withdrawals are not working from polo for a VERY LONG time now...
I wonder why and is it related to the incredible price drop???

I think it could definitely be related to price drop in last 24 hours, since polo announced their policy of requiring names to withdraw. I know I'm about to dump some burst just so I can move all my coins off poloniex and be done with those assholes.

Its dead, I say we experiment, who's in favor of increasing the block size to 20MB ?

Simply increasing the block size isn't much of an experiment. Maybe implementing some method of dynamically sized blocks, so that the block size can grow algorithmically with the usage of the network or something, but probably not a huge issue for myriad atm...

How does Monero fare in the blocksize debate that's currently going on with Bitcoin? Is a 1mb cap going to be an issue?

There is no hard blocksize cap in Monero and other Cryptonotes, so this shouldn't be an issue. Cryptonotes implement a coinbase reward penalty if the blocksize is larger than the median of the last 'x' number of blocks, but there's no hard limit.

How many transactions in a Monero Block?
Currently BTC is running ~800 trans per block every 10 minutes... and runs at about 8-10GB of space for the entire chain.
BTC usage is a long ways away from Paypal, and it takes several hours to days to synch the BTC block chain.
How long does it take to synch the Monero chain?

unlimited transactions in a monero block, there have been blocks with over 500 transactions. and that's with a block time of one minute.

it also takes days to sync the monero chain, but once it's synced, the daemon has no problem keeping up with the network.


What's protecting us from dust attacks?

per-kb fees with a minimum 1 mXMR fee per tx?

3051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: List of POW altcoins with no premine, instamine and ninjamine on: May 11, 2015, 04:23:19 AM
I want to compile a list like this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1045967.0

But this time it's for POW coins with no premine, instamine and ninjamine. 

So on top of my head it's Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monero, Vertcoin(?)... What else?

I like Vertcoin, but devtome would put it into the questionable category:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

In the list of "acceptably mined altcoins":
Boolberry
Digitalcoin
Dogecoin
Franko
Hobonickels
Maxcoin (really?)
Monero (also like)
Myriadcoin (also also like)
Namecoin
Pesetacoin
Potcoin
TEKcoin
Terracoin
Worldcoin

Another coin I like that I think is pretty fairly mined but not on that list anywhere: Huntercoin.
3052  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terms which are crypto coin community exclusive on: May 09, 2015, 04:59:23 AM
Instamine

IPO scam

ooo 2 points for instamine

Along the same lines -
Ninja launch
Ninja mine

Some others -
Brain wallet
...
umm, maybe just one other Smiley

We all want cryptonight  Wink

Well, we concidered cryptonight as option but finally we decided to go in different way, but still - it's not e kay feature of this project.
BTW, current implementation of PoS is significantly changed compared with that was shared in public repo.

Zoidberg

So to confirm, this will no longer be a cryptonight PoS coin?

PoS have no relation with cryptonight hash function.

I guess there is a confusing with names:
cryptonight - it's just a name of PoW hash function(asic resistant - 2mb scratchpad, modern cpu instruction set).
cryptonote - it's a name of technology that makes cryptocurrency anonnymous (ringsignatures+stealth address)

Our project is still first anonymous CryptoNote-based PoS.


Zoidberg

I guess it' a little late to be first now, since Pebblecoin has already implemented Delegated-PoS, which I guess you can argue isn't really pure PoS, but it's certainly not PoW anymore...

I'm a bit sad the devs refused to admit they had no intention to stay, even though it was obvious.

The team has dwindled due to real life commitments, but I'm still around. Anybody wishing to contribute something positive to the project is welcome to contact me.

It doesn't matter if it looks the same as all the others because it's going to have things none of the others have like aliases.

To be fair, Boolberry has had aliasing built in since launch, and Monero has implemented their own off-chain alias system with OpenAlias. The dark duck does have encrypted messaging though, which I think is a unique feature among cryptonotes at least.

Can anyone explain how to bet on the fight tomorrow using tippero?
I'm not a IRC geek like the rest of you guys  Wink



It should be pretty self-explanatory, if you log onto freenode #tippero channel and type '!help'. I think '!book' should bring up the active books, and then '!bet amount outcome' or something should place the bet, however...it seems tippero is offline at the moment...

I don't understand this coin anymore.

It'd be nice if we could get an explanation of how to see who the delegates are and how to check the list of all registered delegates...
Just go to the DPOS tab on the qtwallet.  You will see a list of all the delegates.  If you uncheck "autoselect delegates" then you can choose who to vote for.

OK, thanks, I've only tried simplewallet so far. Is the wallet's vote weighted by how much coins are in the wallet? Or are all wallet votes counted equally? Even a wallet with zero balance? Just curious how things work, since afaik there's not really any documentation besides the code itself.
yes we will have to write up a documentation at some point.  But for now I'll answer as people ask:

You vote with your XPBs.  Any one XPB is worth as much as any other XPB in terms of voting.  So the more XPBs you have the more votes you have.  Whenever you make a transaction, the wallet adds votes to it with the rest of your unspent coins, if you have any unvoted coins left.

So, I'm guessing Poloniex controls the vast majority of all XPB in existence...is there anything to stop them from controlling all or practically all of the voting delegates?
