New version is up. Changes:
- BFI_INT (~10% performance improvement)
- TCP keep-alive
thanks for the update. Can confirm that poclbm is now up to speed with phoenix (maybe even slightly better but will have to watch shares found over time to confirm). HD 5970, ubuntu 10.10, SDK 2.1, fglrx 11.2 seems that mem. under-clock speeds (775/300) with linux now works with m0mchill ... yay. Was this connected to the BFI_INT capability? Faster, cooler, quieter. |

your pool luck is really, really sucking right now ... +35%.
I thought you said somewhere that it can't get worse than +15%?
Is it time to consider that someone is performing the "hide the golden ticket" attack on your pool? In theory it can be better or worse to any extent. I'm constantly monitoring all stats and everything is running as it should. Do you know that such attacker would need to have 35% of pool speed to do this ? That's 70 GH/s, even ArtForz can't do this yet  The fastest users are crunching at only 2.5% of pool's speed, and there aren't many of them. I don't think that 30+ top users can cooperate in such anti-pool effort and lose their 35% (25 GH/s) too. Cost of such attack thus would be $700 per day not to mention enormous hardware resources. So let's crunch trought this to the brilliant future If we had a break-down of total shares and blocks found per worker we would know, after a time, if anyone was diverting "golden tickets" that should be going to the pool. As I asked for quite sometime back, if you recall. It is just in the interests of transparency. |

Are miners still getting paid out by slush-pool while this webpage outage is occurring?
Seems okay on the back-end of the mining.

The "slave" talk is rubbish. I'm calling on him to say what he'll do with the money
Me and my good friend Charlie will spend it on hookers and blow, of course. Elliot Spitzer goes to washington !! |

It is not supposed to hold the card, it's only supposed to connect it.
Can you explain further? How is the card supported then? Anyway you can devise ... hint: not by the indian cable trick I suspect. |

yeah, their seems to be increasing aggression around these days ...

Why would we want additional people in the CIA to understand bitcoin?
Finally someone who shares my view about this! Yeah, that's another route to take. If they are sniffing around to entrap you in something, there is 101 laws surrounding currencies that they could just try on, as they do, youo should be wary. I would consider taking along an observer, possibly a lawyer, or just someone to act as a witness to anything said or implied that might be threatening or a bit strange, just for the record. A second opinion never hurts in any event. In any dealings with the govt., particularly the current crop of misfits, be very suspicious they have proven their virulence and facistic tendencies too many times ... and be prepared to be either stopped and body searched at every gate imaginable or be whisked through like a celebrity on the way. |

Bitcoin is too good to be true. But not in the way these gamers are assuming. Econmically speaking it is truly a godsend and quantum leap in monetary technology.
It is amazing to see how similar the reaction was in the poker thread and the whirlpool-techo thread. Eventually they'll come around like this;
- first they'll make up their mind, open-source=good (i,e, not a scam)
- second, they'll see other people are trading it=good (i'm not the only idiot on this planet, sheeple)
- third, they'll see that it is going up in value=good (i'm really not an idiot but a genius because I can make money, sheeple2)
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.

(meaning they are not going to commit resources to destroy the network)
Let's not jump to conclusions now. Although I agree that Bitcoin could prove useful to the CIA, they still have to do what the White House tells them, and the WH will obviously be hostile towards Bitcoin. I'd be very impressed if Bitcoin were a CIA project or that Satoshi turns out to be a government agent.
Why would a government agency create a currency that undermines the government's ability to collect taxes? Because they are sick of taking their orders from banksters ... the current system is impoverishing govt. as well. The only people prospering are the corrupt, incompetent top-dogs at insolvent mega-banks, that's a doomed society right there. Even the drones in govt. can see that. |

Thank you sir, got my vapor x 5870 from 375 to 415 without any changes to hardware settings. Here is what works for me if anyone is interested phoenix -u http://email@gmail.com:password@deepbit.net:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=10 WORKSIZE=2056 Really WORKSIZE=2056 should that be 256? |

Traceroute can do a "TCP traceroute", just add -P TCP -p 80.
For more info use "man traceroute".
actually he needs to do it for port 8332, i.e. miner port linux command $sudo traceroute mining.bitcoin.cz -P TCP -p 8332 |

Watch out for the honey-pots hanging around the water-cooler, they can be enchanting and deadly.
I'm skeptical, what does bitcoin need CIA for? It doesn't, AFAIK, bitcoin has got where it is without them (unless Satoshi is an agent).
What it could do with is for CIA to keep its hands off and play fair. They are more likely to be a hostile threat than an ally.
Will you be reporting back on feedback, comments, questions, discussions resulting from the presentation?

Is it for real or an artifact of some sort must first be established ... maybe it is an anonymising strategy of some sort.

Bullish case for gold is not that bright for a simple reason that half of money stored in gold will be tunnelled into bitcoin.
yeah, but there is still very large percentage of population who want to get into gold but can't because it "too expensive". As long as they keep piling in on the dips, then gold could become the poor man's bitcoin ... it is still limited in quantity of supply versus the fiat factory emissions trading scam. |

Here's an out-there idea. We use something along the lines of a rating system as described below : I admin another technical Forum and that has been a thought of mine for some time.
Forum groups assigned ~3 levels - 1.Newbie, 2.Experienced and 3.Guru.
Newbies can read 1, 2 and maybe 3, but can only post in group 1 initially.
After while (certain number of posts, time since joining or similair), an admin reviews their last X posts for signs of maturity, comprehension, manners (being nice/helpful to other newbies) etc, and if they look like they have half a brain, they get to post in the 2. mid-range groups.
If they want to participate in the 3.top-level groups, where the coders, network guru's, and people who have a real understanding of what "money is" discuss topics that are not benefited by having some n00b throw poorly considered opinions in, then they can PM an admin and explain why they think they are qualified or should be allowed to disturb/participate in high level conversations.
I realise it sounds a bit elitist, but you wouldnt expect a group of professionals or specialists to be able hold a useful discussion in a public place where anyone can interrupt without a moments thought.
In the case of bitcoin, which is a deeply technical system requiring some serious education/learning to understand, that also interacts with a topic that everyone has an opinion on (money), I think it would be a good idea.
and then have one of those pages like the s/ware user agreement spiels with the tick box at the bottom but instead have a short multi-choice that the reader has to get correct before they move to the next level ... doesn't have a need for human monitoring for something growing so fast and only needs to be a basic question/answer on material/topics like those that can be picked up at the wiki, sticky or more commonly discussed topics. |

Something that I think a lot of people don't realise is that if bitcoin were very easy to come by and acquire they would probably be worth a lot more than they are now.
There are only 6 mill. in circulation at present, if a larger proportion of the population could easily swap in and out of bitcoins, by the simple fact of the numbers involved, it would have to be for much lower denominations of bitcoins than are currently traded. A consequence of that is the average user who is now able to get his hands on BTC 250 for U$500 would probably only be able to get a tenth as much if 10 times more people are able to buy and sell them easily, for example.
There just aren't that many to go around and the more people that drop a few bucks into BTC the higher their value must go, as long as that nominal amount of $ going into BTC per person remains approximately constant.

Think this is more relevant than the $2, $5 or $20 polls.
An order of magnitude is a nice, round, psychological number.

I'm able to ping mining.bitcoin.cz from all my machines, but workers will only connect from one. I haven't tried accessing from a browser since I'm usually connected via SSH.
... what about the port forwarding to 8332 ... how does it get to both machines from the firewall/router? .. (assuming you have one) I'm not doing any port forwarding. well are you behind a firewall? ... help us a out bit, it sounds like a networking problem, if you tell us what your network set-up is maybe we can fix it ... don't give away much or someone might be able to hack all your rigs and take them over ... just kidding. |
