My uncle is a prominent lawyer in international business law, based in Germany but he has been in american courts often. I will have a chat with him and after explaining him the concept of bitcoin, he might be able to give a qualified answer on how the chances are of getting the coins back, if there even is a chance...
Don't talk to him about recovering bitcoin, as if bitcoin was a currency. You would probably get more traction if you talked about the real money value that was lent, and that it was transferred to pirate through bitcoin. Bitcoin as the currency will get it treated like Second Life Lindens or World of Warcraft gold (or whatever they use) Bitcoin as the transport medium, will get it treated more like paypal or other electronic funds transfers, so, IMHO, best course is not to bring in bitcoin if you can help it, and just bring in the actual paper value itself. -- Smoov

I am thinking of opening my Australia p2pool server.
How are people managing payments to third party miners - is there a way to automate this? I know that people join the pool with their btc address, but how to calculate and distribute payouts? Assuming you are simply intending to make your node open to the public... All your guest miners have to do is use their payout address as their username in their miners. P2Pool just treats them the same as if they are mining locally, to a payout address, nothing extra needs to be done on your end. You need to write up some custom programming, if you intend to do merge mining also, like P2Pmining does. -- Smoov

Today's daily coupon has been paid @ 1% of IPO price.
Thank you.
Maybe you should use the term "face value" instead of "IPO price"? Or is there a better term? I believe the interest is based on the original IPO price. As the prices of the bonds we're trading, change, the funds he has received through IPO/SPO's, have not, assuming his SPO's have also been getting sold at the same price as the IPO was. All the bond price is after issue, is how much we're willing to buy/sell them amongst ourselves. -- Smoov

This is a referals thread?
Well yeah, but it's unfair posting your referral links like 7 times unlike others who only post once or two Why is it unfair? because you cant be bothered to check the thread every day? We are not children. We are in competition. I gotta agree... posting the same links over and over is just silly. If you got a new link, then ok, by all means put up a new post (and go strike-out the old link in the old post) but just to spam and spam this thread isn't what this thread was put up for. -- Smoov

Out of curiosity, do any of the server ops here actually get considerable hashrate from this? I remember back when I ran one for a bit it was a cause of great excitement to see my node running 2Ghash/s I get a nice spike when PyraMining is doing upgrades, but except for the occasional failover traffic, I have no regular guest miners on my BTC one. I have a couple regular LTC guest miners tho. -- Smoov

It should at least be a bar chart then, not a line. So much fail it make me doubt their security. The price chart show a little blob when you hover onto a trade.... Cute. What has a JavaScript chart got to do with security? That's like saying the sites logo is off center a little, must mean they can be hacked. Anyway, a new version of charts will be live shortly after I get back to London on the 31st, a lot fast and I'm adding a slider which will allow you to specify a range of prices to show (eliminating the problem) And hovering over a trade to get the blob will give you the price/time. Nefario. Can you please make it "staircase" or "cumulative"? Seeing the exact depth at a certain level is rarely useful. When buying or selling, total depth up to that level is more useful. You should be able to change the type of chart. Will we be able to set our default view in the settings page? pweeeeez? -- Smoov

To clarify: If there is a partial payout (which is looking more and more likely) are you saying that all previous withdrawal requests will be canceled and account balances paid proportionally? That would probably be the best method at this point, either way it goes. With the shutdown/default, the rest goes out the window and we're just looking at balance refunds at this point. Just going by outstanding balance across the board, seems like the best move to me. Less hassle overall. -- Smoov

I have a naive question. Why join some little p2pool server when I can just join p2pool directly? I never got this. Well, you have CPU and bandwidth issues you have to take on too. If you don't have a lot of bandwidth, you may be better off pointing your miners at a public p2pool node. That node would handle all of the bandwidth themselves, that would be needed to stay sync'd with the other p2pool nodes, as well as the bitcoind/litecoind daemons and their bandwidth needs also. Since I have the bandwidth available, I also maintain more connections on both of my daemons and p2pool node, than you'd probably see on the average node. I handle keeping everything current on their updates too. For some miners, not having to mess with all of that is worth my tiny fee, particularly if they are in a more rural area. The public nodes are also useful for people who just want to try out mining through p2pool for a while before making the full commitment to doing it all themselves. And lastly, it is always good to have a couple failovers set up in your miners, in case your own p2pool or daemon crashes for whatever reason, your miners would just switch over to the public node using the same payout address, picking up exactly where you left off on your own node with little interruption, while you figure out what went wrong on your node. If you only check on your rig a few times a day, having a public node failover could save you hours of mining effort if you don't notice your own node having stopped for several hours after it happened. -- Smoov

on: August 27, 2012, 05:46:55 PM

How it is possible that we see on graphs "Desired version" from 1 to 5? v4 is just posted, so from where is v5?
P2Pool Graphs Version: 5.0-dirty Pool rate: 301GH/s (8.9% stale) Share difficulty: 594 No, it is not this. AFIK sharechain version is not p2pool version. Correct. You're seeing some v5 now, because forrestv is already working on, and doing some testing with, the next version. v4 is the current release, however. v5 has some changes that the next release of bitcoind is expected to have (from what I've heard in the in-channel chatter). So, some people who are beta testing that version of bitcoind, are also testing the next p2pool version being developed too. -- Smoov
