With such a high hashrate over Stratum, what's a normal accepted / rejected ratio for a pool? I seem to be running below 90% which seems bad...

I don't know - but I am on the other end of the world and slush's pool is working fine for me...

Switching from eustratum on OzCoin to 'regular' stratum seems to have much better numbers coming out now. Which is odd, because eustratum should definitely be closer.

I think I just broke the DHL website......  Grin

To be honest, the tracking on the website seems nonsensical to me. The times of checkins at different locations (in the past) keep changing. I found phoning them to be much more helpful in figuring out what was going on.

My 37xx order just got a tracking number.

Tracking now works, and DHL told me on the phone that it should be with me on Friday.

I RECEIVED MINE 5 OUT OF 6 UNITS TODAY!!!! YEAH PAID FEB 18.

Order number?

#3925 Ordered on Feb 18, 2013.

Arrived today in Honolulu, Hawaii by DHL.
All Black, nicely packed Asics
Customs took 4 days to clear.
Shipped last Monday from China


That order number is really high. Were they all ordered together with that order number, or did you have earlier orders with a lower number, and then all your units were batched together?

I reckon you need to make your shell scripts executable? i.e. chmod +x pxc.sh
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] CryptoSwitcher - Automatically mine the best coin. on: June 25, 2013, 08:26:17 PM
Yeah, Coinchoose just dropped over half the coins they were offering since this morning... need to pick a different provider because a lot of the coins that have even been on top the past few days, like Phenixcoin, Argentum, and others were deleted from coinchoose.

They'll come back. They get removed if the exchanges go down.

Is there a way to implement that in windows? Sorry I'm not good with creating batch files.

Also coinChoose has gotten rid of alot of coins? Can we use a different source for the data?

I am not a Windows man, I'm afraid.

I found that the best way to switch pools is through cgminer API. If you have your GPUs highly overclocked, they don't really want to start every cgminer restart. With API there is no need to restart cgminer instance, unless you are switching between scrypt and sha256.
An example of adding a pool:
echo -n "addpool|stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ftc.com:3333,mylogin,mypass" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028

This man is on the money; and I've been toying with the best way to implement this. This is most of a script you should use for this sort of approach, but requires pools being doubled between the .conf file and this bash script depending on whether the script is starting CGminer or just switching the pools. I'd like to avoid this if possible.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Replace this script with one of your own.
METH=$(echo -n "coin" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 | sed 's/.*Hash Method=\([a-z0-9]*\),.*/\1/')
echo $METH
#Kill vanityminer - inelegant, but works
killall oclvanityminer
if [ $METH == 'scrypt' ]
then
#Send the quit command to any cgminer instances running
echo "{\"command\":\"quit\"}" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028
#Start Bitcoin mining with API access enabled for the above command in the future
export DISPLAY=:0
#Set clocks
aticonfig --od-setclocks=930,300 --adapter=1
aticonfig --od-setclocks=850,300 --adapter=0
screen -dm ./../cgminer/cgminer -c ~/.cgminer/bitcoin.conf  --auto-fan --api-network --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1
else
#We can just modify the pools
#Remove old pools until one left (the active one)
NPOOLS=$(echo -n "config" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028| sed 's/.*Pool Count=\([0-9]*\),.*/\1/')
echo $NPOOLS
for i in $(seq $NPOOLS -1 0)
do
echo -n "removepool|$i" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028| sed 's/.*Pool Count=\([0-9]*\),.*/\1/'
done
#Add new pools
echo -n "addpool|stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ftc.com:3333,mylogin,mypass" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028
#Switch to first new pool
echo -n "switchpool|1" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028
#
#Remove last old pool
echo -n "removepool|0" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028

Sorry I've not been keeping tabs on Cryptoswitcher so much the last week or two - I've had other commitments, which are sadly more pressing, overtake me.
50  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ATTN] Is there anyone still not receive your batch#2 machine or tracking #? on: June 21, 2013, 11:05:22 AM
Judging from my batch 2.2 order number, there are still plenty of batch 2 units still to ship. I would not worry for a while yet.

Man, salfer, you're on the ball, both here and over on GitHub. I've given you commit rights to the main repo.

I have a minimal Python binding up:

https://github.com/salfter/PyCryptsy

I'm now looking into getting CryptoSwitcher to use it.

Here's my first stab at it...waiting to build up enough coins for it to trigger:

https://github.com/salfter/CryptoSwitcher

PyCryptsy seems to have worked well enough for a couple of YAC-to-BTC exchanges earlier.  Integration was fairly simple; I designed it to work similarly with the Vircurex integration that had been done earlier.

This looks great, and I've merged it into CryptoSwitcher. I've also adjusted the TradeMultiplier to a default of 1.01, given the race-to-the-bottom nature of Cryptsy. To sell your altcoins for the highest price you can right now, return this to 1 in the config file.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [SATIRE] How to design a CoinChoose-constantly-profitable coin? on: June 12, 2013, 07:07:45 PM
i'd like to see a coin that is pegged at the exact profitability of 110% or whatever. hehe.

what would happen to the price of the coin if that were the case?

Miners flock to it, difficulty goes up. For everyone to maintain profitability, the block reward increases. Supply has now increased, so the price goes down, and to maintain profitability the block reward must increase. This is a positive feedback loop that leads to hyperinflation, generally regarded as a bad thing.

55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to design a CoinChoose-resistant coin?e on: June 09, 2013, 05:58:16 PM
Also, we can do whatever we'd like, and I dont see how a coin that doesnt manage to allow itself to be gamed by huge hashpower waves is a detriment to the community. Explain how that works out.

I don't think that's what anyone's saying. A coin that manages to solve this problem certainly brings something new to the table, and PPCoin's proof-of-stake system, if it takes over from proof-of-work eventually as planned, probably gets there.

I am glad that this conversation is happening, however, as instigating it was part of my goal of releasing CryptoSwitcher rather than keeping it for personal use.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CoinChoose - alternative site to show respective profitability of the alt coins on: June 09, 2013, 02:08:56 PM
Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but a broadcast address on BitMessage, based on the little I know of BitMessage, seems like an possible solution to this? I wonder if anyone more knowledgeable about it can comment?
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CoinChoose - alternative site to show respective profitability of the alt coins on: June 09, 2013, 08:13:18 AM
We are under a DoS right now.  Idiots.  As a result, site is down and likely will be done forever

You must be doing something right to get negative attention. It'd be a shame to see this gone forever, but I'd totally understand.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] CryptoSwitcher - Automatically mine the best coin. on: June 06, 2013, 02:41:45 PM
Request for new feature:

can you add a trade multiplier variable? Let me explain, as I'm not sure it is self evident.

If I'm reading the code right, it gets the current highest bid and then puts a sell order at that price. I'm looking for a variable that defaults to '1.0', which would be your standard behaviour. However,

if you set the variable to 1.01, then if the current high bid for WDC is .000152 then it would set the sell order to .00015352

I think this would help prevent the constant dive in prices, or at least allow those that want to use it to not contribute, and we can set a default 'up sell' value.

Thoughts?


This seems like a pretty good idea to me.

EDIT: Added, under 'Misc' as 'tradeMultiplier'. The default value is 1, in order to not change the current behaviour, but I feel like setting this to 1.01 as the default value might be a good idea once people are aware of it.

Wow bter has autotrade API now  Cheesy

It somewhat frustrating to use, because ltc_btc is a currency pair, but btc_ltc isn't. It needs a wrapper built around it like the btce-api python wrapper which takes that sort of thing into account.
60  Economy / Securities / Re: [Investment fund] Gamma Bitcoin Fund [Closing] on: May 28, 2013, 06:13:46 AM
10557.516 BTC has been paid out in total.

For anyone else who was confused like me, and also for clarity, I believe that this is the total payout of the fund since it announced it was closing, including the partial payouts received in November, February and March. As a result, if you're using the investor list to work out the fraction of this number you'll be getting, the most recent payout will be about 80% of the figure you calculate.

Regardless, thanks DeaDTerra. Even though I joined the fund at about the worst time possible, I still made a net profit of a few coins. It feels like a lot more than that, however, as I'd written these coins off as lost. Thanks again for being as transparent as you have been about the whole process.
