Pool seems down. Can't get to the website either  Looks like the DNS still resolves though. |

I managed to build and run Bitcoin Armory on Mac 10.6.7 + xcode 4.2, looks like it's working fine. Instructions: http://pastebin.com/K9NYsKRDThanks for the instructions. I tried to use homebrew to install the dependencies. ... I applied your patches and changed the python path int he Makefile (homebrew uses python 2.7. ... Any ideas? I had some trouble building python libraries in the past with homebrew. I think I had to manually set ARCH. I think I put something like this in my .bashrc and then didn't have to worry about it anymore. export CFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
When I get to my laptop, I'll check. |

I know that this is getting off-topic, but this really bugs me. Software engineering is more than just writing and debugging code, you need to be able to design systems and document them too. Programming is the easy bit, design and documentation are IMO much harder problems, and if you aren't documenting then you're missing out on valuable experience in your journey as a developer.
Comments can only go out of date if you describe what the software is doing, which isn't the way to write comments. Good inline comments describe the whys and don't go out of date when the how changes, this is exactly what makes them a difficult ordeal because as codemonkeys we're used to dealing with hows without really pondering the whys. Good function comments describe the interface rather than the implementation, if they go out of date then you can almost guarantee that you've introduced bugs because you've broken your interface.
I don't even claim to be good at it myself, but I do practice and try to improve.
Well said. I'm not putting in my bid until basic unit tests and documentation are ready. |

So I'm running two p2pool nodes. One is on the same subnet as my miner and the other is running on my residential connection as a backup pool. They are both setup with the same versions of everything and both on the lastest git head and both are merged mining with namecoind (I like the new simpler flags btw) My main instance output this 2012-02-06 14:28:36.710654 New work for worker! Difficulty: 1.235214 Share difficulty: 357.877941 Total block value: 50.011230 BTC including 43 transactions
and at almost the same time, my backup output this 2012-02-06 14:28:35.523973 New work for worker! Difficulty: 0.999985 Share difficulty: 349.760460 Total block value: 50.010530 BTC including 29 transactions
2012-02-06 14:28:37.032823 New work for worker! Difficulty: 0.999985 Share difficulty: 357.877941 Total block value: 50.010530 BTC including 29 transactions
Any ideas why my backup pool has different numbers for everything? And why did the backup pool output 2 different lines with "New work?" The second line has the same share difficulty as my main instance, but the difficulty, block value and number of transactions aren't the same. Both nodes to show the same number of shares in the chain and the same pool hash rate and stale rate. Both bitcoind's relay are connected to eachother, so I thought the number of transactions should be very close to the same. 43 and 29 seems like a big difference. |

Looks like libbitcoin is getting closer! I think there was some talk about using it once it was more stable. [libbitcoin] First stepsThis tutorial will create a simple program in Python using libbitcoin’s Python bindings to read the version information of a remote bitcoin node. We will need to connect to the bitcoin node and send it a version packet. The other bitcoin node should respond back with their own version packet which we can examine. |

I will not add any support for Satoshi wallets beyond pulling keys out of them.
In the future I will not only implement a bulk-import feature, but also leverage pywallet code to do a direct import of the Satoshi wallet, but with a warning to stop using the Satoshi wallet (perhaps a print-backup-then-delete option). Until then, just create a new wallet and send it some money.
I'm excited for this. |

Hopefully this diagram will help with your config.  Don't forget to open the ports on your router/firewall. Also I modified the ports because I wanted to try litecoin p2pool, so these don't conflict if you want to do that. [edit]You probably want to specify a bitcoin payout address -a <btc address> in the command to start p2pool. I left that out. This was posted elsewhere. Since people here are always asking how to setup p2pool, this might help them understand how everything fits together. |

The key problem with "green addresses" is that it encourages service providers to spam the blockchain with moves of funds to a single address. Since these same services cannot have users send directly to the "green address", the need for an extra transaction/input to move funds to one is almost always needed.
Thanks for explaining this. I was just about to ask what bloat there was. On the other hand, it's possible to simply add an extra signature to transactions, signed by the "green address", which gets relayed with it. Service providers can check for this signature. Miners can (but don't currently) omit this signature from blocks, so it doesn't cause permanent bloat.
How simple is simple? And why is the system built so miners can change things like signatures? Couldn't that be bad? |

I cant help but Assume that i Will Not be paied for the 18 shares that i submitted, Because i forgot Where to put my bitcoin address. Perhaps thats why everything is messing up?
If you don't specify a bitcoin address, bitcoind automatically generates one. I think it even automatically gets labeled p2pool. |

addnode and connect work similarly, but are not the same.
if you did connect=bitcoin.es then you would only talk to them.
if you do addnode=bitcoin.es then you talk to them and then find peers through them. If bitcoin.es was malicious, I guess they could isolate you even with addnode, but it would be harder.

Im runnung Debian 6...
I gave up messing with init scripts that start screen sessions and put this in my /etc/rc.local instead su - user -c "/path/to/cgminer/start/script.sh"
Oh, and i use command line arguments, because either on windows or linux, even after saving the config, it ignores me (cgminer always asks for input) This is usually because you have a syntax error in your config. You can see what the errors are if you specify the config. cgminer -c ~/.cgminer/cgminer.conf
I don't know why it is built this way. IMO, when you fail to parse a config, you should fail out, not act like there was no config. |

W2k3 IIS6 PHP 5.2.9 Fatal error: Call to undefined function socket_create() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\anubis\index.php on line 175 WTF ? I know the solution. Go Install Linux.  A little tip. Avoid giving usesless suggestions. Another tip for the packager: give a list of PHP modules needed for proper functioning of the application. usesless is not a word. p.s. Linux is much better suited to run apache web server and php then Windows server 2003, and if you cant see that then your just as usesless as windows Move on dude. And if you are going to be a dick about correcting what is obviously a simple typo, make sure you don't have any yourself... |

coretechs, I think believing that bitcoin is already bullet proof is incredibly foolish.
What if there are more bugs like the encryption bug in 0.4? People trusted that their wallets were secure, but OOPS they weren't.
Having someone paid to look for holes is a good thing.

Just ordered an issue. It's the second thing I've bought with bitcoin (the first being some maple syrup).
What is the gift for ordering a year subscription?

Hows this going? I re-arranged my server and have been to busy coding to play around with the protocol

Any idea?
What version of p2pool are you running? That looks like miner output. What does your p2pool output look like? As has been said many times, stales in p2pool are higher than a traditional pool |

I'd be happy with improved CSS for bitaddress.org I started playing around with the paper wallet layout, but couldn't come up with anything I liked more.
I was also trying to decide if its worth having it laid out so you can fold the note to cover the private key.

Woohoo! My first purchase with bitcoins! I'll post pictures when I get everything  |
