2401  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [MEGA TOPIC] SOLO MINING on: January 29, 2023, 10:08:32 AM
To be blunt, I'm not concerned if you don't include my pool in links above,
but including a link to the thread by someone who is lying about my pool coz he doesn't like me,
and trying to get hackers to attack all the miners on my pool as collateral damage, seems far from ideal.

Your pool if of course included in the list, as others webpages from your site, they are valuable for the community, especially for newbies.

Excuse me but which topic are you talking about ?
I can erase a topic of my list if it causes any trouble to you

No more sign of life, when I do CTRL+C I have this : https://imgur.com/uonGnPh
Sorry, I am a total noob with python

Well, I am pretty sure I know the reason therefore. The tool by default tries to get the current difficulty and network hashrate by https://mempool.space site. In case you're computer is restricted (by firewall or similar) it cannot get the information. If it fails in accessing the URL it should return an error though so I'm puzzled you didn't get an error. However you can quickly find out if this is the reason. Just edit the code and uncomment the two lines:

from:
Quote
# Uncomment following line(s) for manually seting the difficulty/netrate to a value of your choice
#diff = 37590453655497.094
#netrate = 77889900112233.555


Thank you it works very nice with the manual diff and netrate.
Strange, because I go on mempool.space on a daily basis, and have all the necessary libs installed

Thank you for your help

I did not write Shhpool in the list as the payout is divided with the miners, it is not solo.
Same logic with Laurentia Pool. These small pools can give a nice opportunity for small miners to earn more than usual if the pool is lucky (double check before pointing any hashrate, Shhpool is still in Work in process and OP stopped his previous solo pool)

Thank you for this very useful tool !

The idea is top.

But I don't have any output
I enter the hashrate (example "300t") and have 0 response in my terminal

Even after 10 minutes - same issue.
I use python3

Out of topic : I will do the translations to French in the following days, as I saw on your Github page that it is on your roadmap

If you use bitmover's site for the draw, I'll verify the results for you.
Just make a list of accepted participants and select a block in the future, and post this in a new post.

Thanks for mentioning

This is the website, for reference
https://bitcoindata.science/giveaway-manager/

Just insert the participants and the block in the future.

I will add a feature to "predict" how long it will take to min the block suggested,  if not mined yet.

You can easily share the url with participants after you enter them

Yeah as mentioned in the first post, I found your tool very good. I wanted to be sure to give 0 doubt about the selection of the winner, and that's so cool to have a webpage like this one!

Thank you !

If the market anchors very well on the bull trend, it will be able to withstand every negative news to a bearable extent.

I agree with you.

I am surprised to see how recent events related to Genesis and Nexo have not disturbed the price of BTC

UPDATE : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5437138.msg61692069#msg61692069

Hello everyone,

Recently, a newbie did a BTC giveaway. Unfortunately, the member in question never sent the funds to the winner.
(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435424.0)
I found this frustrating and a shame, because little giveaways like this are fun, and help to keep a good atmosphere on the forum.


So I suggest you to organize giveaways, fair, transparent and fun Smiley


To avoid abuse, here are some basic rules:
-I will ask a respected and active member for a long time here to do the draw, even if bitmover made a good tool, I prefer to organize the giveaway and leave the draw to a former member with a strong reputation (if there is a volunteer please leave me a PM)
-Accounts with 5 or less merits can't participate
-I will make regular giveaways with dusts converted to BTC

For more transparency, here is the address where the funds for the winner will come from: 1Luck1xjq1WgHPG3Ew2LG7ohinza399yr6
https://mempool.space/fr/address/1Luck1xjq1WgHPG3Ew2LG7ohinza399yr6


I want to mention that I don't do this to farm merit. I just like the mood of this kind of games / gamblings. The amount doesn't need to be crazy high to have a fun game. Smiley

___

ROUND #1

As you can the on the wallet's balance, I will start with a ‎0.00061600 BTC giveaway.


If you want to participate, you will need to reply with your username + BTC address.

You can participate until the 1st of February 10:00 am UTC



Example :
Code:
Username : genesis-block
BTC addy : 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

Good luck Cheesy

Une impulsion électromagnétique nucléaire causerait des dégâts tel que la crypto deviendrait un problème futile.
Plus d'électricité, plus de frigo, les institutions à l'arrêt, le réseau d'eau, les routes, les banques, les supermarchés dans le noir, impossible d'appeler des services de secours, les hôpitaux en mode panique...

Et pas pendant quelques heures, mais quelques mois.
Une impulsion électromagnétique nucléaire ne toucherait qu'une région de la Terre et donc on s'en remettrait assez vite.

J'ai beaucoup plus peur d'une irruption solaire catastrophique. Les scientifiques pensent qu'il pourrait y en avoir une par siécle. Le problème est que la dernière a eu lieu en 1859 ! A cette époque, l'electricité n'était pratiquement pas utilisée à part pour la télégraphie qui avait été fortement perturbée.

Si une telle irruption solaire se produisait aujourd'hui, le monde serait privé d'électricité pour au moins 15 ans (c'est trés long de remettre en place des infrastructure électriques).

On ne se rend pas compte à quel point nous dépendons de l'electricité. Même notre approvisionnement en eau dépend de l'électricité. Plus d'électricité = plus d'eau dans nos habitations.

Le pire c'est que les centrales nucléaires cesseraient d'être refroidies et qu'elles finiraient toutes par exploser. En réalité, ça serait la fin du monde. 90% de la population serait tuée.

Evidemment, dans ce cas de figure, le bitcoin ne serait plus un sujet.

Je ne comprends pas que les gens ne s'inquiètent pas davantage de ça. Il faudrait d'urgence protéger nos installations électriques.

A la limite, il serait bon qu'il y ait une impulsion électromagnétique nucléaire quelque part dans le monde pour que les gens prennent conscience du danger.


Il n'y a vraiment rien d'organisé en vue d'anticiper cela ?

Ça me semble dingue si c'est vrai (que rien ne soit protégé)

Hello Mates,
I am writing a post and a important thing comes to my mind that we are only person that responsible for our financial status , and dont make excuses that we belongs to poor family,
If we are wasting our time on social media and not doing any work for changing your financial status then you are a looser , a lazy Looser who is passing his time for a poor death and give his children this poor life again ,    
                                                                   YOU ARE BORN POOR ITS NOT YOUR FAULT BUT IF YOU DIE POOR IT YOUR FAULT .

I understand the idea, but I won't try to say that to my neighbours. Here the minimum salary is 300usd per month, and some people cannot change of social "rank" because of their ethnicity.

Everyone can do some changes and could try to save money or BTC, but not everyone will do it with success. It is not working like that in some places. This is the reason I think your idea is not fully true

Internet après ×temps, remis en marche.. on fait quoi pour Bitcoin?? on relance le protocole de zéro sur un nouveau bloc Genesis ?? comment assurer l'authenticité des copies blockchain subsistantes ??

Je pense qu'on créerait un fork post-catastrophe pour être certain que tout le monde soit sur la blockchain authentique non ?

It could be very nice to be able to mute a topic

I always use the "Show new replies to your posts" link at the top, trying to follow some topics. But even when I click on "unwatch", the topic continues to come again and again in "Show new replies to your posts"

Any way to avoid it ?

This is already next level Cheesy Paying for burek in BTC Grin I hope it could compete with the Bosnian one, Slovenians are not particularly known for their pastry.


Hahaha yeah, you know when we talk about Bureks I am a sort of maniac Grin I even own a BTC address related to (1Burek87Lx48SR97fN8HJvGwTEBQMxjWpH). In 2019, I took 8 months to travel through Balkans with the idea to find the best burek ever
Slovenian ones are not crazy yeah, but you can find excellent Mesni and Gorenjska bureks near Kranj  !

As you said for bureks, Bosnia is the best place to eat on earth IMO  Grin

But today, all the restaurants which are crypto friendly around me are focused on LTC and BCH (I am in Eastern Europe)
