Unless I am missing something (which I may well be) although the concept is good, you would have to re-do how DNS is queried down to the desktop / iot level.
I can see this being useful for people who are tech knowledgeable but for a lot of people it's going to be an issue.
There have been other instances in the early 2000s with people trying something like this, I would have to dig up my work from 2001 / 2002 from a client who tried something similar. They were trying to get DNS queries out of certain areas that were blocking them. It worked well to a point, but due to performance issues and other equipment that could not run the custom app the project was scrapped. But I might still have some code pieces and notes around. They tried using it as an internal DNS server, but other issues (mostly performance) arose.

My 1st one came in today.  Looks great. Waiting on next. Thanks, Dave |

Thanks for everybody's input.
Although I have had posts removed here and there before, I could always look back and kind of say, "Well, possibly there was a reason for it." This one, I IMO I could not.
Because ETF said, it's a bit off topic. I really don't think it was and if one person can see it that way I guess others can too.
Not going to worry about it.
Thanks again everyone.

1st time posting a question like this so please be gentle :-) I just got a message that a post in I made in Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion > Wallet software was deleted. The posted message was: Many github accounts have been hacked. For now they are just ransoming the software back to the developers.
This does not mean that there are no other changes to other gits that nobody has noticed yet.

Double check the github repository before downloading
-Dave I felt that it was a good heads up for people to give a 2nd look before downloading a wallet. Was I wrong? No issue if I was, just looking for input. Thanks, Dave |

Stock settings on the card.
It's not even using the EVGA drivers, just the latest one from nvidia.
Next time it crashes I will install the EVGA drivers and see if upping voltage helps.
Thanks,
Dave
You might want to use GPU stress tools (such as Furmark) to see whether your GPU is stable/not under heavy load rather. Also, there's no thing such as EVGA driver. No matter GPU brand usage, you use either Nvidia/AMD driver. I think you're confused with GPU manager / overclock software provided by EVGA. If you try to download GPU driver from EVGA website, you'll see the download link comes from nvidia.com Yeah, my bad on wording. I was thinking utility but typed driver. -Dave |

A possible issue. I don't know if it's just my setup (probably is)
Offline PC so I don't have exact time of crash BUT it feels to be every 10 days or so.
I came into the office and VS just *stopped* no crash no error just sitting at the command prompt.
8 core CPU that I am running 4 threads on + gpu
Liquid cooled cpu never even gets warm
1200 watt EVGA power supply so I know that's not the issue.
It happened on 1.12 and now on 1.13. I never had the older ones running long enough to see this
What I am running (just restarted it):
C:\Users\Dave\Desktop>vanitysearch -gpu -t 4 1iamdavef
VanitySearch v1.13

I had this problem. You probably have overclocking the graphics card chip. Although the game may not experience problems and even at work. On 10 day can crash . Lower the GPU frequency or increase the voltage on the video core. Stock settings on the card. It's not even using the EVGA drivers, just the latest one from nvidia. Next time it crashes I will install the EVGA drivers and see if upping voltage helps. Thanks, Dave |

Although I did somewhat in jest post the "it's rude to outbid someone in a different auction who is bidding on one of your auctions" it does ring somewhat true.
I know I have tagged out to 2 or 3 people in PMs (possibly more) asking for a nod of OK before bidding / outbidding them if I felt a conflict could ever be seen.
Also:
Location of item(s) should be mentioned.
Are you auctioning this for you or for someone else.

Does SSL encryption works because someone pays licensing fee? Sorry for being ignorant, but is this really how web security works?
Short version: No. But SSL certificates have valid from and to dates. They do have to be renewed / updated Longer version, probably wrong on some things, and missing *a lot* of detail but generally covering the situation. What happened here is Firefox will verify that the addons you have are legitimate and safe. It talks back to the servers that know this over SSL. In order to avoid certain compromises it knows certain things about the SSLs, (call it a serial number, not 100% the same but close enough) and does not just assume they are good. Unlike what happens when you just use http s: which will take just about any SSL cert as good unless it has been specifically revoked. One of those expired this AM at 00:00 UTC Unlike getting an SSL for a website for free or $10.00 there are more checks that have to go into these certs. Also since certain things are coded into the browser for safety that has to be updated also. -Dave |

1) To mods if you think this goes elsewhere please move it. 2) To everyone else. Read below. Mozilla (the people who make FireFox) did not renew one of their SSLs yesterday. This broke / forced disable almost all extensions. A fix is in the works. IF YOU ARE USING A WEB WALLET WITH ANY EXTENSION FOR SECURITY OR SAVING PASSWORDS OR BLOCKING MALWARE SITES. PLEASE BE EXTRA EXTRA CAREFUL. YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING A WEB WALLET ANYWAY, BUT THIS JUST MAKES IT WORSE. Read more here: (you of course checked the link before clinking....Right???) https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047/14-Dave |

is BITPAY working? if you transfer to the card, can u still use card for regular purchases?
I used it yesterday with no issues. Had not used it for a long time and was actually worried that it was going to be shutdown for inactivity, but I got my coffee.  -Dave |

And this does kind of prove my point  To find opinions of graders you have to go to page 2 of a discussion about definitions. To then find out more specific information on things that ANACS has graded you have to click on one of the links that krogoth put in his reply. There is no place that really says new people click here.Anybody want to buy an original Ravenbit sticker. It's graded DF68  -Dave |

b) Do not trust the grading that much after I saw them grade a killyou, satori chips and fake coins.
This just came up in a different forum about regular silver coins. Short version: Do we need a "graded reliable" and "graded unreliable" Long version: Do we need / should we have a discussion out here in public, probably on a separate thread about the "quality" or "accuracy" of coin grading houses in regard to cryptos? If we know "A" will grade something that has been driven over by a UPS truck with a MS65 but "B" will kick it back to you with a comment of *hell no* scribbled on the receipt should this information be more accessible? As krogothmanhattan said about checking the load of a coin. Caveat Emptor! BUT, if without digging through 100s of posts it becomes almost impossible. Even with a bit of digging I still don't know who graded the killyou coin. Dave's logic behind making this more public --> Anything we can do to help remove scammers is good. Anything we can do to make scammers lives more difficult is good. If a new person does not know and does not look to find out that's on them. If they don't know and we do but don't tell them and make it difficult to find out, that's on us. Counter argument --> We are not your mom. It's not our job. Sorry for the rambling, but someone on the silver forum just did a test with PCGS grading and it ended...poorly...lets leave it at that. -Dave |

No tools that I can think of. Everything I have is for x86.
Just seemed that with the crashes & external drive issue it might be hardware.
If it's working now I would not worry about it.

1) Just to confirm it's a RPi 2 with 1GB of RAM. Not one of the older ones with only 512MB
2) Were you able to restart bigcoind?
Just bouncing some other ideas, since you had an issue running with an external drive, have you run something to really stress the RPi to see if it's a hardware issue?
A lot of people run external drives, so between that problem and this one it's not unreasonable to consider that it might be hardware. (Possible wall power adapter issue?)

Anybody else?
As of now it looks like ChiBitCTy and OgNasty and I were the only ones who even cared.
If nobody else is interested I'll let it go. Mostly because I don't have the time to put into it, so someone else would have to do most of the work which would probably be a lot.
Thanks,
Dave
