So, where is the 'it depends' option? I like having money, I even like making it (which with bitcoins it is not just a figurative thing), but I wouldn't trade anything for profit... it really depends.

I take it you are the one that has been in a buying spree and moved the market down quite a bit then Smiley

Still, I moved all my sell orders to 2.0 today, just for the heck of it...

Please guys, as fun as it is to make fun of their elementary English could you please stop. They are Chinese students and this is the first time they have interacted with the Western world.

You're not making a great impression by endlessly making ripping on them. Their English is not great, they are new to bitcoin, and are trying to offer a good or service for bitcoin. Cut them some slack.

Besides, I'm making them do this so you're making me feel guilty when you're mean.

Ok, I apologize for the harsh approach, but please read the first OP and imagine you had no idea who this person is... doesn't it sound like either complete bulshit or at the very list a scam? Now that you have given us a little more context, and because you have plenty of karma points from where I stand, I can rest assured that is not the case and even consider using the service proposed, whatever that might be (I honestly don't yet know, is it spiritual guidance? some sort of long distance energy healing? what?).

But next time you force someone into doing such a thing please either start out with a "letter of recommendation" or at least ask the ones you are enslaving to the bitcoin overlord to clearly state why their post looks like a scam, smells like a scam, even sounds like a scam and yet it is not a scam Smiley

I'm having a lot of trouble with your syntax and spelling... I really can't "slove" it all by myself!

Can you get your team on the job? I still confused.

Smiley

C'mon... really?
I  think you could put your heart in pocket,though I have some mistakes on syntax and spelling,it not influence quality of our team.
          our team will make great progress.

Ok, fair enough. My doctor did advise me against removing the heart from the current position, but maybe your team can help me out anyway:
- I have this urge to receive my first million bitcoins before the week ends, and I am willing to pay up to 50 coins for the job, on completion. I know you can help me, your team is of that much quality, trusting your words.

Waiting for a reply...
I learn chinese medicine many years,could you tell me your problems in detail,maybe I can help you.

You mean my problem regarding not putting my heart in my pocket? I'm not sure chinese, or any other medicine can help there. You see, I only have pockets in my pants and my heart has these tubes attached that look kind of important...

Or did you mean chinese medicine will help me get my million coins? I'm all for it! Allopathic approaches have kept my urge under control, but did nothing to solve it, so bring it on!

Who the F are you to be doing this


The quoted post is the 6th reply on the subject. I guess it's not a clean cut, but I'd say it would leave me biased towards saying bobR is not a troll, but rather a troll wannabe still in training.
You see, I'd expect a real troll to step in by the 3rd reply, at most. Still, the verbosity of the above quote still counts towards a good effort... keep trying, young grasshopper, you too shall get there! Smiley

Voted "other", because the:

- Who gives a fuck? The laughs I get from reading the post cleanse my sould
and
- Who gives a fuck? He gives me the opportunity to exercise the 'smart satirical offense' skills, so very much lacking this day and age

poll options!

Sure, you measured me just fine. I blame it on my raising up, never got the education and gentleman style to leave PMs like this:

But you got me here, I'm sure you are making a most intelligent remark in the quote above, and STFU must certainly be your alter ego alias, though I can't for the life of me understand this you say I must do... coming from you I obviously will comply just as soon as you are kind enough to, using the word articulation skills and eloquence you got us used to by now, explain.

Quote

I might be convinced to stop spouting, but only if you will first :p

What IDIOT keeps advancing the difficulty  HuhHuh??

So you state your question is legitimate, lets try to work this out so LMGTFY leaves you well alone and stops the trolling.

First of all, you already know the person advancing the difficulty is an idiot, so I reckon it's a rhetorical question. You can only know that for sure if you already know who the person is.
Next you clearly state that it is only one idiot, oh, sorry, person. I can only imagine what kind of sick mind that person has, making it harder for all of us to get rich quickly and effortlessly. I mean, wasn't it enough when states started outlawing us folks printing our own money? sheeesh...

I would just like to point out that, had you taken the time and effort to understand how this whole mining business works, you would know that the total amount of bitcoins generated tends to be constant(ish), thus difficulty increases as more generation power is added to the network, or, in other words, more miners mine.

Given you openly confess you are mining, and as you decided not to share with us the knowledge of who the miner is that keeps increasing difficulty, I can only assume that the IDIOT is you. In fact, it is not an assumption, it is a simple logical realization. C'mon, man, stop your mining so the other folks don't have to suffer with the increased difficulty. Enough, already!

I hope I spanked LMGTFY hard enough Wink

However, we have scanned over tens of thousands of shares worth of logs and found the real-world proof that this simply isn't the case.

Instead of bolding an unsupported claim, how about presenting this real-world proof that sha256 has been broken, and certain hashes are acquired more rapidly than others?

Quote
There is no reason that a SINGLE USER should be generating the same amount of traffic as the rest of the pool, and no offence to you, because you've done many great things for the bitcoin community and I respect both your knowledge and opinions, but in this instance, I'm going to have to politely request that you let us run our pool the way we choose to run it.

Did I ask you to change anything?  No.  Simply stating the facts.

While not holding data to prove one way or the other, I must concur with jgarzik for the simple fact that unless there is something predictable about sha256, and thus we should all be working towards replacing it for bitcoin usage, the random nature of the calculation means that historical data bears no weight into future prediction.

This is just another way to say that just because you've gotten heads 10 times in a row, doesn't mean your changes of getting heads for the 11th time is bigger, assuming a well balanced coins and a good, strong throw. It is always 50%, really.

If you can in fact prove that you found a pattern on the hash calculation towards H==0, that is a potential attack vector and should be investigated. Please share the real world data you speak of!
1315  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: BTCMine - new shared mining pool on: March 11, 2011, 02:15:05 PM
Ok, so I can see my estimated bounty when in shared block mode, and the total number of shares I've submitted. But for calculating estimated payout in pps mode I'd like to see an up to date number of submitted shares since last block was found. Is that possible?
1316  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: BTCMine - new shared mining pool on: March 10, 2011, 07:43:57 PM
Shared block payout mode switched to classic, only shares from solved blocks accepted.

What does this mean? So pay per share pays for all shares accepted, but the default mode (is that the shared block?) distributes the 50 coins by the shares accepted while mining for that block alone?

If that is the case, only those that mine 24/7 will actually get payouts?

The 17% vs 90% description is really misleading!

I don't believe so.  Perhaps our description of what we mean by "efficiency" was a bit misunderstood or lacked a sufficient explanation.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Well, it is worth what it is worth. I'm now using your miner exclusively, so there you go Smiley

Don't let my word be taken the wrong way, you've done an amazing work. Not only did you get the miner to search the full key space, which is the way I like it, you also give out very helpful information while mining, something that was really lacking. Kudos to you, and btc's too once this miner renders me some Smiley
1318  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [NEW POOL & NEW MINER] - BitcoinPool.com - Jump In! on: March 09, 2011, 04:00:20 AM


10 Getworks, 9 Answers = 90% Efficiency.

For a good basis of comparison, the original poclbm sits at around 17% efficiency on my cards, with a 10s askrate.

While I've always felt more comfortable with iterating the full getwork, to the point of having done my own opencl miner integrated on bitcoind just for that, the mathematics you are describing are really a flawed kind of statistical proof. Yes, you do get a much better coverage of the getwork (which is what you call efficiency) and the original miner just throws away the rest of the work once a solution is found, so it is never as "efficient". But that doesn't mean it is slower or worst, as we are basically trying to find a solution on a random pool of numbers.

So you count the number of solutions vs the number of value pools, whereas the original miner counts the number of value pools with at least one solution. In the end I would argue the success rate will be larger for your miner because the network lag is smaller, as the miner doesn't request a new work set for each solution found, but that's about it. The 17% vs 90% description is really misleading!

Does anyone have one of these sitting around? I'm wanting to buy one used for bitcoins, if the price is right.

I can also buy a used or new W90 instead.

Shipping to Europe, so I'd prefer sending from Europe. Any takers?
