I completely uninstalled 0.11.0 and reinstalled it on a different partition. Currently re-downloading the blockchain... again... hopefully the new location will clear up these errors.
And finally finished re-syncing. I have cable internet and it took 4 days to acquire the blockchain again. I thought it was supposed to be much faster after 0.10.x...  |

I support larger blocks, but I do not support XT. I see it as an attempt at a hostile take over of the blockchain. If XT "wins", then the firm of Hearn and Andresen basically takes ownership of the entire blockchain, as they retain the sole power to say what's in and what's out of XT. That doesn't sit well with me at all.
they will suddenly have to power to make miners run Whatever they want them too as soon as TX is implement? really?? come on.... Yes, really. If XT were to win out those two would have ultimate say in every single aspect of bitcoin, with one of them being able to override the other. Decisions are made through agreement between Mike and Gavin, with Mike making the final call if a serious dispute were to arise. source: https://bitcoinxt.software/faq.htmlI do not see how giving 1 or 2 people ultimate control of the network decentralizes anything. |

Satoshi never intended to a limit to exist, so what was his solution?
His solution was the 1MB blocks that we have today. He didn't have an ultimate solution, else this discussion wouldn't be happening. I support larger blocks, but I do not support XT. I see it as an attempt at a hostile take over of the blockchain. If XT "wins", then the firm of Hearn and Andresen basically takes ownership of the entire blockchain, as they retain the sole power to say what's in and what's out of XT. That doesn't sit well with me at all. |

Is there a Minimum Payout function (planned)?
So that a small miner can join without getting to much dust?
Well it involves me writing some code to read a transaction in (well that's only a few lines) and then distribute the transaction to mark the payouts that have been paid - but the catch is I need to also deal with the change (sum of the dust) and the accounts that also mine to a non-account address thus have to be split in 2. Not difficult, just still on the todo list of course, and other things keep popping up  The point of it is to have a balance (like it should already ...) so when the dust adds up to enough I can then add in some of the change and pay some of the higher than dust balances. Dust limit is 10,000 satoshi Hopefully soon.  |

BLOCK!!!  YIPPEE!!!  Need some quick hitters now to get that pool % back. edit; and I added another s3+ to the pool hashrate. Now I just need to find the page in this thread that has the directions for the cgminer software upgrade. Hmmm.... Happy Mining Thanks! edit: well that's the miner but what I really need are the 'step by step' directions to install them after I 'puTty' the S3. It's in this thread...I'm still looking for the page..but Thanks anyway! edit2: found it...30 pages back. edit..last one: HEY....now I have twins!! If you had clicked that link that was provided, then clicked AntS3 it would have taken you to the page you were after. |

Yes, they are resetting or cgminer is resetting them. Eventually they will follow this course to ZOMBIE and you will have to unplug them to bring them back to life again.

Minimum wage is just that - a minimum. I'm sick of people complaining that they can't live off it. It was never designed to be a living wage, it's a lower threshold to make sure people aren't getting screwed by stingy employers. Mostly the debate today is propagated by a bunch of under educated folk who feel entitled and believe they have the right (a definition they fail to grasp properly) to have everything they want without having to put in any effort to obtain it.

Can someone explain what XT is in as fewest words possible, like 30 or 40.
Bitcoin XT is a patch set on top of Bitcoin Core, with a focus on upgrades to the peer to peer protocol. The first goal is support for larger blocks more than Bitcoin. It's not a patch, it's a fork of the core code. Looks more like an attempted hostile take over of the blockchain to me than anything. Don't put the blockchain in the hands of two (well, one really) developers! |

I sure hope s1 repurposing with the latest chips is still on the agenda....
Ditto, been hanging on to my old S1 since that potential was first announced. Hope to see it come to fruition soon, maybe in time for this coming winter. |

Looking like we will be at block 2016 around 11 pm friday eastern standard time. https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty (+2.18%)Bitcoin Difficulty: 52,699,842,409 Estimated Next Difficulty: 53,847,435,919 (+2.18%) Adjust time: After 78 Blocks, About 12.9 hours Hashrate(?): 396,980,217 GH/s Block Generation Time(?): 1 block: 9.9 minutes 3 blocks: 29.9 minutes 6 blocks: 59.7 minutes Updated: 10:25 (1.9 minutes ago) look below https://blockchain.info/blocks370867 (Main Chain) 2015-08-21 14:31:07 370774 (Main Chain) 2015-08-21 00:30:28 94 blocks today in 14.5 hours 87 is normal so we are finishing on an up note we may go to +2.50% or even +2.75% the contestants below all have a decent shot: +2.01% to +2.25% Amph +2.26% to +2.50% jonnybravo0311 +2.51% to +2.75% Kexkey +2.76% to +3.00% EnternalWingsofGod +3.01% to +3.25% wpt1wpt1 +3.26% to +3.50% notlist3d +3.51% to +3.75% zebedee I don't think we can go higher then +3.75% even with a mad finish. I think my +1.76% to +2.00% is looking pretty good. I foresee a small downturn here at the end of this difficulty adjustment. |

Should just run a full node and solo mine for real ...  As with edonkey, I don't want to risk my "relationship" with Comcast to run a full node. I looked into the website of a guy that was doing it, and I could see 100GB/month easily in the future, if not tomorrow. While I don't presently have an enforced cap on total usage for the month, I don't think that will last forever. Hence I think a "full node at home" is NOT in my future. I run a full node with cablevision/optimum and every 6 to 8 days they shut my internet down for about 1 hour then reassign my ip. I have comcast cable internet and run a full node from home. Never had any bandwidth issues, never has my service shut off, and never had my IP address changed (knock on wood). |

i downloaded that bitcoin core after installation my computer always say low hard drive space.. i think it download all blockchain blocks... do you have a portable bitcoin core?please in form me
What's a portable Bitcoin core? Portable means ----} able to be easily carried or moved, especially because of being a lighter and smaller version than usual. light version of bitcoin core that no need to download all blocks from server.... No, there is only one version of core and it requires you to download the entire blockchain. You want an SPV wallet: https://www.google.com/search?q=spv+wallet |

Great job to the people that dug this all out since there are already threads about amazing investment opportunity all over the forum.
People that continue to invest in vaporware deserve to lose everything they put forward. |

Maybe they're building massive cpu farms, why else mention flops? Maybe they haven't heard of ASIC... Planning massive data centers like this is pointless. No one knows what the bitcoin network will look like next week, let alone by the time these centers are powered up and running. I doubt they will ever see the light of day, let alone be profitable. You could spend $50 billion on almost anything else, like lottery tickets, and most likely see more return on investment. |

Very well put DannyHamilton, as always. People who are pro bigger blocks should also consider that bitcoinXT is not just about that, but rather an envision of a few developers of what he sees as a better bitcoin, network and/or bitcoin client. There are downsides and unaudited code still on the loose.
One of my biggest gripes with XT, besides it's attempt at a hostile take-over of the blockchain, is that decision are ultimately made by only two people, and one of them can override the other. That's not what bitcoin is all about, and I hope XT fails miserably. The problems it aims to address will be patched by core in due time. Keep the original strong. |

For instance there's 170CFM fans with 44dB. Versus the stock fan that is almost 10 time quieter.
I doubt the factory fan is 440dB...  |

There was a freak thunderstorm that shut down 1-phase power, exhaust fan stopped spinning and stopped producing outward pressure on the rain.
Ouch, that looks like a lot of hardware! I'm surprised you didn't have backup power on-site. I'm also surprised your setup only relies on positive air pressure to keep it weather-tight. I guess hind sight is 20-20, any plans to upgrade the facility so this doesn't happen again? |

Our big block popper canaan dropped off the pool. Now we need others to step up, lets geaux! He's dropped on and off before, and his hash rate has fluctuated with the seasons. I'm sure he'll be back at some point. |

Did anyone run the numbers on these anywhere?
What's their ROI like, if any? I don't really care either way, but I am curious.
I'm not finding anything.
Damn it, never mind. Found it.
I'm pretty sure that ROI is not possible with a stick miner in today's environment. You would need several to even hit the dust threshold on most (all?) pools. |

bitcoin XT?? only heard of QT
XT is a forked altcoin, despite how it's being marketed. So far it's biggest impact has been to crash the BTC price by about 20%, not sure that's working as intended. |
