Your port is set to 9332. Should be on one of these  for pool-x: 80, 8000, 8080, or 8337

edit: nvm, you already saw that.

You did nothing wrong, but whoever sent you these coins might have. Which is why we are all interested in hearing how you obtained those coins Smiley

"service invoked too many times for one dat"

Was this about the API?

If so (or even if not), Pirate, how often do you accept polling the API per day or per hour?

Good oh. I've put a poll on which might be a better way of indicating what we think (although online polls are subject to gaming, I suppose). Care to vote?

Perhaps you should have allowed multiple votes and rephrase the question to "what pools do you trust".  Being honest, if I understood what Ive read so far, is that p2pool is the most trustworthy bar none.
But I still voted for bitminter Smiley.
1005  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 2.1 Gigahash/sec = how much $$$ per day? on: March 02, 2012, 11:06:10 AM
oh OKAY so you're saying my income will be halved? If so, I don't mind..

Yes, take for example, you mine 1 block per day.

At the moment, the block reward is 50 bitcoins. So you would be receiving 50 bitcoins per day.

In ~9 months, the block reward will drop to 25. So you will be using the same amount of hashing power, electricity etc, but instead of 50, you would only receive 25 Bitcoins per day.

You dont mine x blocks per day. You produce x hashes per day. How many BTC that gives you depends on difficulty. Just assuming difficulty would remain stable is not very reasonable is it would imply the exact same hashrate would keep mining even at half the profit. Thats not gonna happen. I dont think anyone really knows what will happen though.
1006  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: ATI 5870 Question on: March 01, 2012, 10:57:35 PM

Totally agree.

Anyone that buys into the Apple hardware or software or other products ( iPhone, iCrap etc. ) needs to do some research first.

You can get much better price / performance ratio out of non-Apple parts !

I am not one to pay for shiny plastic or for the "fashion" or brand etc.

OS-X is actually a good reason to pay Apples premiums for a lot of people. 
I use linux myself, but I can acknowledge its not for everyone.  OS-X is actually pretty decent and the windows headaches it avoids alone would be worth the premium to me if I didnt have linux as an option. Add to that some pretty decent hardware and a hard/software stack that actually works together rather than fight each other, and one doesnt have to be crazy to buy one.

Likewise, ipad is still the best tablet out there IMO, mostly because of iOS. Android is catching up, but not quite there yet for big screens. 
RIM Playbook and HP touchpad could have been contenders if given time and a software ecosystem. I particularly like the playbook I ahmm.. played with. There is like no software for it, but Ive never seen a better GUI in my life.

iphones vs the competition is something else. Id say Android has become the superior option by now, and with a million implementations to chose from, iphone seems like a waste of money. A thing of the past, much like ipods.
1007  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Neighbourhood Pool Watch 1: No-one should mine at Bitclockers on: March 01, 2012, 10:14:30 PM
Pools I have confidence in and would mine at (in no particular order)
  • Slush's pool (once they're on whatever hop proof payment method Slush decides on)
  • Ozcoin
  • Eclipse
Why Slush? I 've investigated them more than any other pool. I'd have noticed anything odd.

Id certainly add bitminter to that list, and I have one concern with Slush; its not major, and I have no reason to distrust Slush, but I sure would like to see stats of shares submitted there. Must be the only pool that doesnt show it (expect for running round).

As for bitclockers, best I can tell their stats are still as fake as ever.
Maybe they thought faking a few short rounds would somehow be enough to disprove the mountain of evidence against them.

Full disclosure wont prevent you from compensating losses out of pocket, should you feel thats wise.

I'm not getting this. Company earns zero for a given period (p.ex. company is relocating).
Where will dividends come from during that period? No income, no company reserves.
Even death would have problems to take away something in such setup.
So why to expect compensations from the operator?

Where do I say I would expect compensation? The logical thing is not to pay out dividends since there would be no profit.

Still, if Goat for whatever reason, wants to pay out a dividend, he is free to give the company money out of his own pocket and use that to pay for one. But there is no reason that his willingness to do so, would somehow prevent him from providing transparent accounting data of actual revenue and costs to his shareholders. One has nothing to do with the other; goat makes it sound as if shareholders have to chose between a dividend and transparency.

Anyway, it sounds to me like this is not a company owned by shareholders, but more a long term mining contract thats being traded. If thats the case, other terms would be more appropriate.

I can do shipping in the same package to negiate that cost, but most packages to the EU are between $10-$20 depending. Atleast with tracking and such. If you dont mind it in a bubble wrap in with just regular postage, I can work that out I think.

Im in no hurry. bubble wrap will work. If it breaks, so be it.
Make my bid 5BTC shipped for the memory and cpus.
1010  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] DDR 2 - 4 sticks on: February 29, 2012, 07:12:14 PM
2.5 BTC  if shipped to the EU.

Thats less than the cost of shipping

Really? Dont they fit in a bubble envelope? How much for shipping these along with the cpus?
1011  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] DDR 2 - 4 sticks on: February 29, 2012, 06:56:54 PM
2.5 BTC  if shipped to the EU.
1012  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] 3x 775 cpus on: February 29, 2012, 06:55:00 PM
2 BTC + 20 LTC Smiley
I assume you can put them in an envelope to send to the EU?

I no longer have any moral qualms about leasing my miners out to hoppers.  


This.
To the above poster; rather than blaming hoppers for doing the mathematically sensible thing, you should direct your anger towards pool ops that (often I think deliberately) allow their members to be exploited, by not implementing a hop proof payout scheme. I say deliberate,  because they get their fees from hoppers and non stop miners alike.
 
TL;DR, You cant prevent hopping, you can avoid hoppable pools.
1014  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: February 29, 2012, 04:35:36 PM
i'm done with gpumax.

it's just frustrating when the purchase is activated waaaay after payment has been made, and at random times.
precision is key for me, and i can't get it from you.

i'll be back when i can control my timings as precise as possible.
Blah blah blah, I'll keep making extra for my miners!

If you need precise control, run your own bithopper.

Im sure he does, but he wants to buy extra hashing power to hop with. Clearly that needs some predictable timing to work. If GPUmax ever makes that possible, it will have interesting consequences. In a way it would "democratize" hopping, since hoppers will bid for shares to the point they are profitable, and the profits will be distributed among all gpumax members.
1015  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] TyGrr Tech on: February 29, 2012, 04:07:34 PM
Goat, you seem to be confusing a few things. Mining contracts and company shares for one, and full disclosure with a need for paying for revenue shortcoming as another.

Shareholders should not be forced to chose between full disclosures and you paying for shortcoming out of pocket.
Full disclosure of actual costs and revenue should be a given, its a legal obligation. Its one thing you dont follow all the fine print of GAAP rules, its quite another to not even attempt to follow *any* of its basic underlying principles.

Full disclosure wont prevent you from compensating losses out of pocket, should you feel thats wise.
1016  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] TyGrr Tech on: February 28, 2012, 10:56:11 AM
For the record, you said "61.24 coins mined".  Apparently that was not very careful wording, since its just a hypothetical number.

Dividends are paid on a companies actual profits, based on actual costs and revenues, not based on  what one might expect if a certain business plan were to be followed - but isnt.  Share holders own a substantial part of your company, they are entitled to know exactly whats going on. Just making a blanket statement "12GH in theory ought to bring in x BTC so lets assume we did" is something quite different.

It doesnt matter if your losses due to downtime were offset by profits made hopping or from gpumax, it could be the other way as well, shareholders ought to know. Its not like Intel pays dividends based on theoretical costs and revenue with management pocketing (or paying out of pocket) the difference between theory and reality. The latter is what you do when running a proxy or pool as service to customers. Its not how you treat shareholder.

My 2 cents.



1017  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] TyGrr Tech on: February 28, 2012, 08:04:47 AM
Dividend will be  22.9BTC     

Difficulty      1,379,647
Hash Rate is estimated to be   12GHash/S

61.24 coins mined.

So you are buying hashrate from everyone else at 105-115% and making a profit on top of that by hopping and/or gpumax, but your own farm is only yielding ~98% PPS? Really?

How do your shareholders know you are not hopping with your farm, and frankly, why wouldnt you?

Since you have an obligation to maximize shareholder value, at the very least one would expect you to direct your hashes towards your GPUmax account where you will get significantly more than what you are stating.

You do remember correctly. If only linux would let ati and nvidia binary drivers coexist in the same machine, I would put some old nvidia card in my PC in a heartbeat for linux compatibility alone. It is a PITA with AMD Sad.
Ironically, the OSS AMD drivers are maturing nicely, but useless for mining Sad
1019  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [410GH] ABCPool PPS - For High & Steady Mining Rewards on: February 27, 2012, 04:41:57 PM
Indeed, ABCPool falls within the definition of 'pooled mining' as featured on the Official Bitcoin Wiki for a long, very long time:
Quote
Pooled mining is a mining approach where multiple generating clients contribute to the generation of a block, and then split the block reward according the contributed processing power. Pooled mining effectively reduces the granularity of the block generation reward, spreading it out more smoothly over time.

Nice attempt at playing semantics; unfortunately, you fail. By your interpretation of the above definition, any ISP would be a bitcoin pool too.

Whats described above is not a definition of a pool, but an explanation of what pooled mining does. Its widely understood that a pool generates blocks. You dont.

And btw, until proven otherwise, neither does Clipse. If Clipse doesnt like being called a proxy service, then he should publish the blocks he has generated.

1020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: 5870 + 6870 problems on: February 27, 2012, 10:40:21 AM
Right now both cards are connected and it's ignoring one of them (the 6870 in this case). Should I swap them to have no output and then do that?

You should run that command every time you change the configuration, and obviously, only after youve changed it. Id also try with just 1 monitor hooked up first, or both monitors on the same GPU. Not sure how well LXDE handles multiple monitors on multiple GPUs.
