BTW did we have any downtime over the last few days?
It looked like it to me too. On the ninth around 12 (UTC I think). No poolwide issue on the 9th. Perhaps an issue on the internet between you and the server at that time. On the 5th we had a few seconds of network instability at the server site. This causes some miners to get disconnected from the pool. It looked like all/most reconnected quickly though. Were you not able to reach the mining server for an extended period of time? If your client crashes when it gets disconnected, try upgrading it to the latest version. If that doesn't help, ask the people who made it if they can fix it. Unfortunately the internet will never guarantee that a TCP connection won't break at some point, requiring you to reconnect. Client software needs to deal with this, same as server software. Not to worry or what so ever, just making sure; I am not deeming :-). All good. Thanks for the prompt replay. On another topic all together, any suggestion of decent ASIC hw one could/should buy and I am i thinking of quality. Much apreciated! |

0 CDF would mean "it's impossible to find a block with this amount of work". That would be true only with 0 work done. Even with just 1 proof of work accepted by the pool there is a chance it will create a block, so that's not 0% CDF. If you found a block, then the round is not 0 CDF, per definition.
100% CDF would mean "with this amount of work you are absolutely certain to find a block". But that is never true. Unlike a lottery where you would perhaps be able to buy all the tickets, you can't do that in bitcoin.
As time approaches infinity, CDF approaches 100%. But just like time never reaches infinity, CDF can never be 100%.
Where someone can learn/read about all these? |

Minersbox (formerly Minerscube) looks like a total scam. Don't give your coins to scammers.
It should not be confused with ASICMiner Cube, which is a real product.
When you are buying mining hardware please remember that most offers are scams. Most mining hardware "companies" are scams. Not a few. Most. The safe route is to buy from companies that have delivered in the past and where the customers have been happy. If you pre-order from a company that has never delivered anything before, then you have to be very careful and do some research. Most of those are scams, remember?
If their WHOIS listing is anonymous ("privacy protect", "whois guard", etc), their website has no contact information, their machines are faster than all competitors, their machines use a fraction of the electricity of competing products, their prices are way too low, their webpage has a paypal logo but they don't actually accept paypal payments (see their FAQ), their emails to potential customers (which you can read elsewhere on bitcointalk) reveal that they don't know which proof-of-work algorithm bitcoin uses, they don't seem to understand what an ASIC is, and they give some crazy stories to explain the other suspicious aspects..... add all this up and you should realize it's a scam. Not just a scam, but a poorly presented scam by an inexperienced con man.
Even if you wanted to get scammed, there are better ASIC scams out there.
Good point of view as for the icing on the cake; form your point of view, what would be the trustworthy h/w one should buy? The Yukon SP30 is my back-up option. Thanks, any other backup by (good)experience h/w suggestions? Doc, thanks for the humour, but I rather not be scammed at all! Your opinion? |

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Unobtanium Info & Discussion

Hi Crypt,
Do you know if I can use other currency wallets to receive my UNOs, or if I can send them directly to an exchange?
I'm not sure I understand your question, but I can attempt to answer from what I interpret... UNO is a unique coin, like all bitcoin clones, and can only be used with the UNO qt wallet, or unobtaniumd daemon, both of which can be downloaded from the OP (at least until alternate services exist, like an UNO android client, or electrum-uno client, they do not yet exist to my knowledge). That being said, you should be able to transfer UNO from one exchange to another exchange without an issue. In that case you are relying on the exchanges that are running the unobtaniumd client on their end. Note that you are typically not in direct control of those exchange addresses, they are being handled by the exchanges. The only current addresses that are in your direct control at the moment are the UNO qt wallet (or if you have your own instance of unobtaniumd) and the paper wallets (which you cannot send from, you must import them into the UNO qt or unobtaniumd). Hopefully I have not confused you more... Not at all and thanks for the reply. Well, let me re-phrase my original question. The issue that i am having is that the UNO qt wallet(v0.9.2.9) installed on my machine is not working. It looks that is trying to connect to some ip addresses but "connection is refused" (i.e. trying connection 188.226.198.109:65534 lastseen=108.3hrs connect() failed after select(): Connection refused" Than, what I was trying is to circumvent the problem that i am having with the UNO qt wallet not working. Though at the end of the day, what I really need, is to have the UNO qt wallet working as it should. There is perhaps some configuration, that that I am not aware of, which needs to be set in place. I haven't got yet too much background into all this and wander you if you can help. Many thanks. |
