Getting FPGA's to mine on p2pool would be cool.

Is it possible to attack p2pool to slow work?
Is there any type of attack that can increase variance on a pool?

Have you updated bitcoind to 0.6.2 to prevent DoS?

Can I use DDR3 Registered ECC RAM, usually used in servers (HP or Dell), in the 890fxa series boards?
It appears that most 8GB sticks available are Registered ECC RAM for servers.

Yup, if only xampp would update.

Are you using mod_php?
404  Other / Off-topic / Airport Security Supervisor Used Dead Man's ID for 20 Years on: May 14, 2012, 11:29:30 PM
Quote
A Nigerian man used the identity of a murder victim to hide his status as an illegal immigrant while working undetected for decades as a security guard and then a security supervisor at one of the United States' busiest airports, authorities said Monday in announcing his arrest.

The arrest of Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole came on the day a federal report found the Transportation Security Administration's handling of security breaches at the airport, Newark Liberty International, deficient.

Oyewole, 54, worked at the airport, starting in 1992, under the name of Jerry Thomas, who was killed that year in New York City. He was arrested, after an anonymous tip, at his home in Elizabeth on Monday and faced charges including identity theft, authorities said. It wasn't immediately known how Thomas' personal information was acquired.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the area's main airports and other transit hubs, said Oyewole entered the United States illegally in 1989 and had worked under several contractors at the airport, most recently FJC Security Services, and supervised about 30 guards. The agency said its investigation found no indication that he used the fake identity for any reason other than to live in the United States.

I chose to base the trend graph on the actual market prices instead of correcting for the Tsunami spike of June 2011. The second spike is nowhere near the magnitude of the first. Whether the values are above or below the line aren't important if what your interested in is will the value increase based on previous history. To graph future profitability you would utilize the pattern you noticed, say 10% below the trend line, to create a more conservative valuation.

This Trend Graph is based on the market prices for each month, projected out until march 2013.

such a password can be cracked in less than 2 hours with a Massive Cracking Array Scenario.

Do pools count as 'Massive Cracking Arrays'? Maybe blocks aren't being found as often as they could be because some pools are cracking juicy passwords and then statistically attributing the artificial BTC drought to "Luck". Wink

If you only used a duplicate password on Google and the Pool then either you or the pool is suspect. Does your pool keep IP address sign in logs that you can view? If any BTC is missing you can trace it via the blockchain. Someone has done this for a few high profile thefts.

Figure 2 shows how the thief used the blockchain for command and control during the theft by monitoring a LulSec BTC address.

Actually, if you look carefully I NEVER take the value of bitcoin into consideration, beside what I can get Today in terms of Coins or Hardware. It's as if you won a contest and got to choose between 1000 BTC or a 8.2 GH/s FPGA machine.

That is why I used the terms 'invalid conclusion' and 'flawed', as your goal is to extract value. Today value is measured in Dollars, it is the world standard in which all other valuations are made. You have, in theory, $5000; You want to buy hardware that costs $5000 or Bitcoins that cost $5000. You are seeking either break even or profit, measured in what? Dollars. For that, you will need to know what the value of a Bitcoin will be in the future. And then, you can determine what is the most profitable direction, hardware or outright purchasing of Bitcoins.




The trend graph starts in July 2010, the next data point, $1.70/BTC 4/24/11, then $2.20/BTC 11/19/11, then $4.40/BTC 2/19/2012, and finally $5.00/BTC 5/12/12.
This shows the value of 1BTC may be $6.50 just prior to the split, if the trend continues. This translates to approximately a $.25 increase per month per BTC.
The halving is artificial scarcity and like all scarcity, value increases. While there may be some wild speculation when the halving happens, the value will continue it's upward trend.

By my Calculations, even at a measly 5% difficulty increase per re-target, the hardware wouldn't have paid off even after a year.
In your argument, Bitcoin will continually lose value over time because of difficulty increases. This conclusion is invalid because you don't take projected Bitcoin value into consideration. You assume a static, unchanging Bitcoin value over time while difficulty does change over time. You are intentionally weighting your chosen outcome.

I'm trying to unpack some cabinet files in Linux but having some problems, they won't unpack. I'm using cabextract which states the files are error free, I can even get the md5sums of the individual files inside, but cabextract just refuses to actually unpack them. I've even tried from the setup.exe and another install.exe but still no unpacking. There is an .msi as well, is that required in the chain?

For generating bitcoin, the exchange rate does not matter (a rise in difficulty is what reflects the rise in popularity and the technological progress in his model). For buying now it does not matter neither.

Quote from: Fuzzy
That's because my question is based on a decision made today.
As stated previously, generating bitcoins does not depend directly on the value of bitcions.

You are projecting into the future 12 months from Today the difficulty increases which shows a reduction in coin generation, highlighting a loss in production without determining what Bitcoins value is going to be 12 months from now. Your statistics are painting an inacurate picture of potential profit.
