Nah, cuz the client sees the connection coming from 127.0.0.1, not an outside source.

-- Smoov

Probably because it isn't recognizing the external IP address as being itself, so when it finds the IP from other peers, and tries it, realizing it is talking to itself, then it closes the connection.

Torrent clients have this happen too.

Often, the computer is only aware of its internal/LAN IP, so that's how this happens.

No big deal.

On the Current Payout graph, would it be possible to show when a coin was found and we collected the amount on the graph? A dot, or an asterisk or something...

Also, would it be possible to overlay another line, showing how many shares we currently have contributing to our payout share?

The program shows how many shares, stale, and dead, I have had in the current run, but having the currently contributing count available would be useful. I'm thinking of manually setting my difficulty higher, but wanna try and make sure I can keep from having 0-contributing-share periods.

Since Krak shut his down, figured I'll put mine up.

Well, before I updated, all 4 miners would eat up 100% cpu full time, but I also was using an older OpenCL driver with my vid card too... but each miner would use the full ~80Mhash/s of each card when tested individually, so they were all set to 1 core and left that way.

Now tho, since updating GUIMiner, and updating my ATI/OpenCL drivers, now they're doing what they're doing now, and it just seems so odd why my BTCGuild miners would behave, while my solo miners won't.

You'd think they would be doing the same thing, but no... >shrugs<

Ok, got the new GUIMiner installed, with both good and bad results...

The good, my shares on BTC Guild are being accepted again...

The bad, when solo mining when BTCG is down, I'm only getting ~400khash/s when I typically get the same 85-90Mhash/s per card for both BTCG mining and solo mining, with the old version.

Did something get changed with solo mining, where it is ignoring my card choice, and is CPU mining instead?

It would certainly explain why my BTCG miners on core #3 are processor friendly, while my Solo miners on core #4, are perpetually at 100% still...

-- Smoov

Yep... updated the ATI SDK to 2.6 afterwards since I was tinkering anyways.

My miners for BTCG are behaving nicely on one core, but my backup miners (-f256) for solo mining when BTCG is down, for some reason still pegs out the core at 100% full time (and now, even prevents the BTCG miners from ramping up, when before I upgraded, it wasn't an issue) (besides the 100% core).

So, I just put them on different cores.

Seems odd tho since they're all using podbm, with only the -f flag different.

Oh well, I can live with it and am happy now, thnxy Eleuthria o/

-- Smoov

It is "Smoovious"... and now my other miner isn't showing up either anymore, as of a few hours ago.

Kinda odd they happened 20 hours apart from each other...

-- Smoov

Is there any reason why the web site wouldn't be keeping track of the work from one of my miners?

My Account page shows one miner for one CPU hasn't shown any shares submitted for over 20 hours now, although it is still chugging along, and isn't showing any connection errors.

My other CPU is shown having submitted a share just 14 seconds ago.

Just to point out, unless they changed their mind in the past few weeks, TradeHill isn't trading anymore, they ceased operations a few weeks ago.

Ok, I'm still getting "Exception: Historical download failed: year out of range, use -y to disable history", and disabling history is all kinds of un-useful.

Has anyone come up with a work-around to get the MtGox historical data back?

-- Smoov

I'm getting a similar error, except for:

edit: I only get this with MtGox tracking... TradeHill's historical download goes just fine.

Aren't most of those shows Discovery Channel, not History Channel?

Every time you try and skip over fundamentals in favor of the short-cut when it comes to education, ya end up short-changing the students and end up with less than favorable results.

Sure, we could say "oh well, we tried and it didn't work, and we're out <insert moneys> here.", but then, what of the students involved, who lack the fundamentals they didn't get. Short-cuts have long-reaching results on a very personal level to them.

Teaching to the lowest common denominator also short-changes them. Some have to fail and try again or everyone loses.

Have no problem with people demanding a particular wage for their labors... We all should negotiate our own pay.

If the employer isn't willing to pay that wage, negotiate to a middle ground, or go look somewhere else. Free market capitalism.

When the gov't intrudes and mandates what the pay should be? Then we got a problem.

-- Smoov

Actually, the problem isn't so much with democracy (although, we're supposed to be a republic) in itself.

It has more to do with the personal honor of those we're collectively stupid enough to keep re-electing.

Time and time again, we vote people in for the wrong reasons.

Democracy isn't the problem, we are.

-- Smoov

Actually, Libertarians are more to the left, than even Democrats are.

Democrats and Republicans are much more alike to each other than either are to Libertarians.

They are in a symbiotic relationship, which depend on each other to maintain their power.

I am socially liberal, fiscally conservative. Definitely, _NOT_, a Republican.

First off, wean yourself off the kool-ade...

People don't _deserve_ anything, but to be left alone without people interfering in how they live their lives.

What price do you put on that 'living wage'? How many hours? What should they do for that?

Suppose we keep raising the minimum wage? How does that help anything? You raise the wages, a company's operating expenses go up. As a result, the product/service's price needs to be adjusted to reflect the current operating expense. Add to that the constant inflation caused by money bring created out of thin air year after year.

This is a never ending cycle this way.

Dig deeper into what those operating expenses really are, and besides the raw material costs, energy costs, equipment costs, labor costs, and you find taxes.

You don't see them on a daily basis but they are there.

Every time taxes get raised or set upon the companies and the rich, disproportional to the general public, where do you think those tax revenues come from? Does the company just magically pull the extra taxes out of their >coughs< and send them to the government?

No. We pay for them. To a company, taxes are just another operating expense, and gets factored into the price of that packet of kool-ade you buy at the store.

More taxes, higher prices... higher prices, need more money to pay for them... so, you need higher wages to do so... so you get that raise in the minimum wage... which increases the operating expenses for the product... so the product's price gets adjusted to reflect the additional expense, leading to higher prices... higher prices, need more money to pay for them... so, you need higher wages to do so... so you get that raise in the minimum wage... which increases the operating expenses for the product... so the product's price gets adjusted to reflect the additional expense, leading to higher prices... oh look! one of the politicians just came up with "A Plan"... scary... but they need more money to administer this spiffy new Plan that we got along just fine without, so, more taxes... but, we have an election coming up in 4 years and they don't wanna lose their jobs by getting voted out of office, so, they sell this Plan by setting things up so they tax the corporations and the rich so we don't have to pay for it... and lets buy up more votes as a buffer by raising the poverty rate so more of the voters we want can pay less taxes, and thank us for it.

Taxes are what is killing us.

Big government is sucking the life out of our economy, and our country.

When we become adults, we get kicked out of the nest to succeed or fail on our own merits.

The government is not my keeper.

As for those CEO's you like to demonize... They worked hard for their money, experience, and position. Playboy figurehead CEO's don't last long and their companies die out.

I don't blame "the rich" one bit for holding onto their money. For one, it is THEIR money.

If I was in their position, facing the regulatory and taxation climate we're in now? With the only certainty, being that they are going to get mugged and bled even drier than they have been already? Hell yeah, I'd have a VERY hard time investing now too. I'd be a fool to even try.

You wanna keep looking at other cultures for their examples, here's a few. Look at Hong Kong... Dubai... perhaps even Singapore (not sure about the last one, but I think they fit with the other two).

Look into how they treat business interests there. Their tax burden, how much an investor has to go through to start a business and continue to do business there. Then look at the result in their economies.

Money moves a lot faster there, and taxes work best with lower rates, and faster moving money.

A dollar that stays clutched in your fist, in a business-hostile, heavy-tax, environment is worth zero.

A dollar that changes hands rapidly, in a business-friendly, light-tax, environment is worth thousands.

As for education... we have a few threats that insure our educational system will stay in decline.

No community involvement. (the current environment actually hinders this)

Unions. (as in most cases it seems, proficiency is irrelevant when it comes to employment. I always hated the union jobs I had. I was not allowed to earn more money than someone who was there longer than me, even tho I worked my ass off, and the person next to me gossiped more than her job. When you can't pay an employee according to their worth, or fire someone who isn't pulling their weight, or someone who is just plain incompetent? Because of a union? Then yeah... the union stops being the positive influence they were supposed to be.)

People who place more emphasis on ideology than reality. (if you're going to teach history, then teach history. not just the parts that further your ideology.)

Teaching to the lowest common denominator. (Schools are not made to make people feel good. They are made to challenge, and educate, and students will sink or swim on their own merits. I can't tell you how pissed off I was in high school english classes when the bulk of the class kept getting passed to the next grade when they could barely read, while I could read out loud fluently without hesitation, tested well, but would not get passed simply because I got fed up and would not do the daily 'make-work' anymore. When the #1 measure of what a child is learning, which are tests, count for so little, that straight A+'s on every single test and final exam, and absolutely zero make-work submitted, doesn't even let you pass with a D-? Then what possible value could the grade itself have in the first place.)

Education has a lot of problems,  but it isn't going to get fixed on the federal level. I'm not even sure it can be fixed on the state level.

Schools are a local issue, and the local communities are the ones who need to handle it, without interference from the nanny state, as they are the ones who are closest to the situation, and have the most at stake.

(btw, I am all for a voucher program, and let them give their voucher to whatever public or private school they wish to, with everything above that voucher amount, paid by the families themselves.)

I can't afford to buy my own personal jet, much less the fuel to put in it, much less 1 single tire to put on the wheels of it.

Does the fact I can't afford those things, make me poor?

I don't think so...

Poor is about whether you can sustain yourself.

Buying x-boxes with a huge LED flat-screen to play it on, gold chains, 200 dollar sneakers, rims, 3000 dollar gaming rigs, full (or even basic) cable/internet service, android phones, etc etc etc and then whining about your home being a dump and not being able to make ends meet, does not make you poor.

Take a hard un-varnished look at a large proportion of the people we are told are supposed to be 'poor', and you'll find more often then not, their being 'poor' is a result of their own choices about where their spending priorities are.

Once we can get it through our heads to stop treating these self-made poor, as "The Poor", and focus on the impoverished, it is a much more manageable situation. The impoverished don't need as much as you think to raise themselves up to self-sustainability.

Even then... there are still some that remain impoverished, again, by their own choices. Sure, many just had some tough breaks and need a hand. We have plenty of charitable institutions that do just that, and ask nothing in return but your thanks. Government, on the other hand... as much as they love their red tape, they love their strings even more. This is how they maintain and increase their power over us.

Government, meddles. They get into our lives telling us how we are supposed to live, and what our priorities are supposed to be, to their own ends. They meddle, and they haven't the right.

There are necessary functions of what a government is supposed to be responsible for, but our (US) governments, on ALL levels, have been going way overboard for a long long time, and have great momentum now. More more more more more, and it won't stop, until we've voted in an authoritarian style system full bore, and still fool ourselves with the mantra "this is democracy"...
