I had 1/3 confirmations on BTC-TC, and 13 in armory, now I don't show any in BTC-TC, where did those coins go?

https://blockchain.info/tx/c14f0743a1a8bbbfeb2817808a2fa1e748c1022bbd46c0155546c99120a0a361

Estimated Confirmation Time: 16 hours (queue position 2107)
Amount: 1,859.27594618 BTC
TX Fee too low!

 Roll Eyes

I'm with you, my deposit is also with yours in the same tx:)

it will show, but not sure if it will show before cutoff time.  I have had one confirmation on the site, 11 confirmations in my wallet
how do I know the confirmation # on the site?

Look at Account Balance in your Wallet. It will show pending deposits to the right and the number of confirms.

Thanks, I see 2/3 Confirmations now, nothing was showing before.

my guess is that Burnside has a service that checks transactions on the block chain and updates the site.  That service may be having the same difficulty talking to the database and doing the updates as we are trying to reach the site.

Yes, I see 2/3 Confirmations on the site now, no worries.

Anyone else having problems depositing BTCs? 9 Conformations and nothing showing up in the btct wallet.
same here

The only people pissed are the one planning on doubling up and gaming the system.
I'm not, this is the first time I use the site.

Also, if you think gaming the system is wrong, then they shouldn't have setup the system like this.
47  Economy / Securities / Re: [LABCOIN] IPO [BTCT.CO] - Details/FAQ and Discussion (ASIC dev/sales/mining) on: July 31, 2013, 05:51:22 PM
Will this be the largest IPO in Bitcoin history?

Not sure if anyone has kept stats on things like this.

Interest wise, it probably is. Value wise I think 7k BTC does not even make top-10 (I could be wrong)

Please do something with the ddos, I cannot bid now.

Somebody is ddos'ing. it can't be just real people.
Stop please, it's 2AM here and I need to go to sleep.
49  Economy / Securities / Re: [LABCOIN] IPO [BTCT.CO] - Details/FAQ and Discussion (ASIC dev/sales/mining) on: July 31, 2013, 05:41:51 PM
not just you, I am having difficulty as well

OK, is this how they stop me from biding?

I'm having problem accessing BTCT.CO.
is it just me?
51  Economy / Securities / Re: [PicoStocks] 100TH/s bitcoin mine [100th] on: July 31, 2013, 06:41:12 AM
the network hash rate went up quite a bit this week, is it 100TH?
Some hashes comes from 100 TH but next week is expected to deliver serious hashpower (70Th).

But they said "We expect mining hardware to arrive at the data center next week." on 27th. so to me it's reasonable to think this is them.

Another small dividends... Looks like paying scrypt is working hard Wink
0.00000053 ... I heard it saying "testing"
54  Economy / Securities / Re: [PicoStocks] 100TH/s bitcoin mine [100th] on: July 27, 2013, 04:42:58 PM
Just received dividends of 0.00000978 per share!

Hello, do you know why my primes per sec is around 350/400 now and one week before it was 850 ?
I have an AMD FX 6300..
Does primes per sec depends of the difficulty ?
Thank you
yes.
but the number looks low, maybe you need to update your miner if you are not using the latest of this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.0

If you know something about Big Number calculation and the nature of GPUs, you know it's a lot more harder for the GPU to do prime test than to do hashing.
GPUs don't like branching and memory access is also limited.

Yeah, right.

Thats as true as no asics for scrypt. Smiley))))

Primecoin mining is not another scrypt.

Scrypt is just another hashing algorithm, and hashing algorithms are generally the best candidates for GPU to do. Because they tend to have no branching, and the width of the input& output are fixed in *each* step.
That's why sha256 on GPU is so easy.

Scrypt tried to be GPU-proof by introducing random memory access, and it failed probably due to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrypt):

"The large memory requirements of scrypt come from a large vector of pseudorandom bit strings that are generated as part of the algorithm. Once the vector is generated, the elements of it are accessed in a pseudo-random order, and combined to produce the derived key. A straightforward implementation would need to keep the entire vector in random access memory so that it can be accessed as needed.
Because the elements of the vector are generated algorithmically, each element could be generated on the fly as needed, only storing one element in memory at a time and therefore cutting the memory requirements significantly..."

Big number calculation used by Primecoin is a totally different beast. it's doable, but i'll definitely be much slower.
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XPM] [ANN] Primecoin Release - First Scientific Computing Cryptocurrency on: July 24, 2013, 03:44:10 AM
a lot more harder
Is English not your native language, oxfeeefeee?

The question is sincere and not intended to harass you if you have learned English as a second / nth language.

Thank you, it's corrected.

I don't think CPU mining hit limit.  When more pools are available, more people may join mining.  It's hard to estimate how much more mining power one can benefit from GPU, maybe less than 10, or maybe more than 100.  The algorithm can be improved too, although we may need some serious mathematicians to take a look...

Block time seems to be roughly around or above 1 minute now.

Are all the botnets priming away? Or  is that why the block times are so normal?

EDIT: nvm seems it was only for a few blocks.

It's not just for a few blocks.  The difficulty is decreasing.  Seems we are stable around 9.24, for now.
That would explain the difficulty decreasing by .001 over the last 3 hours.

Now that CPU mining has hit it's limit, what will GPU mining bring?

If you know something about Big Number calculation and the nature of GPUs, you know it's a lot harder for the GPU to do prime test than to do hashing.
GPUs don't like branching and memory access is also limited.

looking at the numbers, looks like GPU is only around 2x CPU???

Yes it seems so, and the performance/watt is basically at the same level. But you can't just plug 6 AMD CPUs to a single rig like what you'd do with GPUs.

I'm guessing this is because CPUs have AVX which is 256 bit, and that makes them very good at dealing with big numbers compared to GPUs which can only support 64bit natively.
