So I finally got some new(er) server hardware ordered for the block explorer. If nothing goes wrong it should be in by the end of next week and up the week after that.
The daily restarts seem to have been holding what I have up but sooner or later I figure it's going to go thud.

Are you going to do anything SHA or stick with other algos?

And this is why multimeters / voltage testes were invented. OK, it's not the real reason but you get the point. If you are building your own rig and swapping out PCIe power supply cables, you probably have a tester around someplace and know how to use it. There are several brands that are plug compatible but wired differently. There are even models within brands that are plug compatible but wired differently I'm looking at you corsair... -Dave |

Bitcoin ATMs strategically placed may be a good business for the vendors. However, unfortunately it’s a great way for the local government to monitor BTC users because they demand ID. Which means it’s only good for the rest of us if we want some quick cash out of a btc account. Bitcoin ATMs put up in casinos would probably be great for the ‘house’. Also, developers of other coins could contact the machine vendors and offer their coin or token for great exposure while marketing the use of their coin to vendors in the casino.
Casinos probably don't want them *IN* the casinos due to KYC / AML issues. They do want them *NEAR* the casinos because they want your money. And for the most part if they are not exchanging it they don't care where it came from. General Bytes ATM support alt coins: https://www.generalbytes.com/altcoin-support-added/-Dave |

From the because I was there I used 2 while in Las Vegas for DefCon last month.
Both were overpriced.
1st one I pulled out $80 of BTC that cost me close to $90 [bitstamp rate]
2nd one I pulled out $100 of BTC that cost me close to $120 [bitstamp rate]
However, I also had some ETH to burn. Was going to trade it sooner or later and was just sitting on wallet on my phone.
The rates were a joke they were so bad. BUT I was happy to get out of *this* ETH deal for various personal reasons so getting a 20% haircut was worth it to me.
So close of $620 of ETH got me $500 USD.
However ETH has dropped so hard it's now only worth $460 so I won that because I was going to get have to get out of it now at the latest anyway.

I posted in another thread yesterday:
Their support is still terrible.
Their fees are high.
Their exchange rates are average at best.
Circle better get of their asses and do something.

I know I asked a few months ago. Does anyone have the performance numbers running oclvanitygen on a GTX1050 vs 1050ti ?
OR
The RX 550 vs 560?
They are all going to cost me the same more or less but I figure if someone has the answer it will save me the time of mucking about.
Thanks,
Dave

You can cheat a bit.
Install the client on another machine outside your network.
Start the sync, then from the console do an addnode and give it your IP/Port or you can add it in your bitcoin.conf file.
Then do a getpeerinfo and see if you see it.

I sent a dead T9+ back to Bitmain (USA CA address) and got the notification that they received it.
Does anyone have any experience with the turnaround time for repair / contact back from them?
Thanks,
Dave
I sent a T9+ to the USA CA address via UPS on June 1 and had a new unit in hand on the June 18 Got my replacement in the other day. Very used miner, with a bad fan.  Put in a spare fan that I had and it's off and mining. But come on do a little QC on it. That or DHL dropped it. You never know. -Dave |

Nope 0% improvement.
I was one of the lucky ones that got out before it all went bad. Have 2 friends who are actually going down the call a lawyer path soon.
For the amounts that are locked they could have gone out and gotten part time jobs and made up the loss in less time then they have put into getting their money back.

No, you are NOT getting more coins, if you go in ASIC mining for 2 hours and go out with 50-70 blocks like yesterday night, - instead of setting up one or two laptops that mine for you coins at a steady calm flow.
basically that is what i'm doing, i have two 'cores' of my 8 cpu core machine mining ndl. (in the daemon console: setgenerate true 2) trickle-mining at various intensities is pretty much what i've been doing for over 2 years to keep ndl alive while the community was slumbering. and i *do* have a load of coins to show for it. lol.. oh, if necessary to fight off an annoying asic attack or bring down difficulty, i have two L3+s i can throw at it in a moment's notice. i can also throw lesser 'portions' of L3+ at it, because i modified the configuration stuff in the L3+ to support the cgminer "quota" mining syntax. i even have a 50mh silverfish asic setup i can throw at it. of course i'm too distracted to notice if such a need arises, i trust i'd be pinged if there is a need  Do you have a pool setup for it or can you just point the L3+ to the daemon? I was never able to get an L3 to mine to a scrypt daemon. -Dave |

I have a hotels.com egift card that I am looking to sell.
$200 BTC gets you a $250 Code & PIN
Why the cheap price?
When hotels.com works it's great.
When there is an issue, their customer service is a f--king joke.
I am tired of dealing with the problems.

Let me hit it with a bit of power for a few minutes.
I'l start now and run it for 20 min or so. Should find some blocks to help.
-Dave
Thanks Dave, you don't need to, if you read the above.  I already did that, took me two hours, and it should have been enough. But - its interesting what now happens.  Greez n Next reset is at block 1252020 I ran for 30 minutes @ 10MH and got 23 blocks bringing us to 1252012 So it should adjust in 8 blocks. If it's not down by lunchtime I'll hit it again for a few minutes to bring it over the drop. -Dave |

When recovering the wallet.dat or the default_wallet OR ANY OTHER ACTUAL FILE.
MAKE A BACKUP ON REMOVABLE MEDIA BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Hell make several, just in case.
Let me bold that a bit more:
MAKE A BACKUP ON REMOVABLE MEDIA BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Don't put it in your Dropbox / google drive / Microsoft one drive. Just keep it local on media you control.
This way if you damage the file for whatever reason, no big deal.
And when you are done, you can destroy the media and know 100% it's gone.

You might want to put the date in the subject of the 1st post.
Or see if there is a way to sticky this.
This way when someone is scrolling through the forum they might get the bump to say "Oh, that's right I have all this dust to merge into 1 address. I know fees are low today (19-Aug) and you know fees are low today, posting the last date would help the casual user / person who browses the forum to know that fees are low today.

Title says it all. Anyone want it? Make me an offer. Unless it's a REALLY big offer it is going to have to be US only as I don't really want to stand in line and fill out customs forms in the Post Office.   -Dave |
