I need someone to run a permanent mirror of blockexplorer.com. I will switch to the mirror while doing maintenance, and I will share load with it in times of heavy load.
You will need to agree to these terms:
- Your mirror will only be accessible via IP address when it is not blockexplorer.com
- Your mirror will be excluded with robots.txt when it is not blockexplorer.com
- You may not allow the code to be released
- You may not base any software off of my code
- You may not automatically publish any data gotten from the BBE database
You can, however, use the local BBE database to gather information that you use privately or manually publish. You can publish the IP address for times when BBE is unexpectedly down.
Requirements:
- PostgreSQL
- PHP with sockets and bcmath
- Some web server able to alias all requests to one file (I use Apache)
- The ability to compile Bitcoin with my modified version of getblock
These requirements seem quite heavyweight. Consider asking for reverse [caching] proxy volunteers. Just need to install one piece of software on each mirror, presuming that the main blockexplorer server provide useful last-modified and/or etag headers, and potentially other cache-control headers. A reverse proxy with a reasonable disk cache will only touch the main blockexplorer server the first time a new request is seen. |

- one poclbm with phatk kernel for each card: 2*308MH/s = 616MH/s
- minerd with 2 threads for each card, gives me 605MH/s
Just for knowledge... what performance do you get with 1 thread per card? |

Version 0.5.1 released.
This is a bug fix release, with two minor bug fixes:
- fix stderr logging
- better configure script host detection

So in other words... pushpool isn't capable of testing through testnet until the difficulty is at least 256, is that correct?
Or in other words... pushpool works flawlessly, just not with testnet?
pushpool makes you work harder for your testnet coins  Patches to implement a full and correct target check are welcome. |

pushpoold requires 40 bits of zeroes before submitting upstream, not 32.

Hopefully we can get out of the business of distributing Linux binaries altogether. It is very difficult working on all Linux OS's and versions, and this problem has long been solved by others: packages. Each OS needs a trusted packager to handle proper builds for that OS.

Amusing. So the blogger can view public information on public websites (yet not even get my name right).

The software formerly known as 'cpuminer' is being updated to include OpenCL GPU mining capability, thanks to Con Kolivas. Until this software is fully "baked" and ready, it is being developed on a git branch at https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminerOnce stable, we intend to merge Con's work and rename 'cpuminer' to something more appropriate. Update: See this cgminer thread for official cgminer support and development. |

Greek savers rush for gold http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/c986823e-9bf8-11e0-bef9-00144feabdc0.html(free registration required, to read 10 or so articles per month) Greek citizens are emptying savings accounts and buying gold as they brace themselves for the possibility of a sovereign default and runs on the country’s banks.
Pledges by George Papandreou, the Socialist prime minister, that his government would “save the country” have been widely discounted by a cynical public. Parliament was expected to give his new government a vote of confidence late on Tuesday night. The socialists have a six-seat majority in the 300-member house.
Sales of gold coins have soared as savers seek a safer and fungible source of value. “When the global financial crisis started, our sales of coins to investors overtook bullion for the first time,” said Harry Krinakis, at Sepheriades, a Greek precious metals trader. “Now the sales ratio has reached five to one.”

How do i send "listtransactions" to it? I am using Ubuntu Server 11.04 w/ bitcoind. How do i send queries to the daemon? Im a linux n00b
This has nothing to do with pushpoold. pushpoold is just an HTTP proxy, sitting between mining clients and bitcoind. All commands such as listtransactions go straight to bitcoind as usual. 'getwork' is the only JSON-RPC method supported by pushpool. |

Talk to MyBitcoin and law enforcement about the IP addresses involved.
And maybe suggest that MyBitcoin implement IP whitelisting, like any other sane financial website.

A user randomly emailed the following sha256 core update: http://yyz.us/bitcoin/sha256_xmm_amd64_atom.asmJeff - attached is a somewhat faster sse2_64 core, well, at least for the cpu's I've tested!
An example on an Intel Atom D525 (dual core),
[2011-06-14 14:18:42] 2 miner threads started, using SHA256 'sse2_64'algorithm.
[2011-06-14 14:18:56] thread 0: 16777216 hashes, 1047.98 khash/sec
[2011-06-14 14:18:19] 2 miner threads started, using SHA256 'sse2_64_atom' algorithm.
[2011-06-14 14:18:31] thread 0: 16777216 hashes, 1234.20 khash/sec
It should be faster on all Intel cpu's by quite some margin, up to 20% in my tests.
Anybody want to test this, and prove his assertions? |

Agree -- please download from bluematt's repository or https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/OldFiles/As Maged indicated, if you download the block chain outside of P2P, the block chain will not be verified and could potentially be quite wrong. Users are urged to avoid the download provided by the OP. |

I think it's pretty measly a defense that would be primarily a PR tool (SEE? WE DO CARE ABOUT SIMPLETON J. USER!) and not an actual security measure.
This is... 60% true It is bad PR, but it is also the primary current attack vector, because wallet stealing is so easy right now. The majority of trojans and malware are stupid, and are actively exploiting this. |

This sounds like a griefer who does not understand how bitcoin works.

Nobody claims this will solve malware infections.
A simple keylogger can defeat this.
But we need to raise bar so that "cat wallet.dat | mail" thefts will not work.

I was not offered a referral bonus.
I was offered money, specifically, to say that bitcoin7 was better than mtgox.
The text of the email has already been posted.
