I'm the bud buyer, very happy, quick trade. Cheers

I have the worst luck, I start mining p2pool again and the pool has really great luck for the two days before I get my first share in and as soon as I do get a share we get the longest block in 2 months. Damnit!

Much patience is needed for p2pool.

Mine is currently running like this:
Local: 31942MH/s in last 10.0 minutes Local dead on arrival: ~3.5% (2-6%) Expected time to share: 1.1 days

I've just today switched back to p2pool from a while balanced between BTC Guild and Slush, so will see how it settles down.

Afternoon

I guess it's possible that I have a misunderstanding going on here, but I'll explain what I want to achieve:

I am currently mining on p2pool with btcguild as a backup (failover doing nothing). I understand that p2pool has a high share difficulty, currently 106000, and that it lies to the miner about the difficulty to get it submitting shares, shares that the miner submits to p2pool under 106000 are discarded by p2pool but are used to calculate the miner's hash rate, DOA etc...

What I would like to do, is make cgminer, bfgminer, whatever miner, submit all shares under 106000 to btcguild instead of p2pool, so they're not 'wasted' and submit all shares above 106000 to p2pool. I understand that this means that p2pool won't accurately know my hash rate, but shares over the difficulty should still be accepted and earnings should be the same.... This would effectively increase the productivity of my miner.

Does this make sense?

Forget about, this, maybe even delete it entirely
Just re-read how proof of work works, and realized that I'm talking total crap
Bye!

Thanks to all in this thread. Helpful to know (and read on the HMRC site) about assets, CGT and CGT allowances. Makes me feel less anxious about selling small quantities of 'mined' coinage!

Just in case you didn't spot it in the newbie thread I posted my build of Armory for Raspbian here.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110107.0

Everything works for me. RPi is perfect for cold storage.

Hence the drop down to 7.25 GBP just now....

I've got one on pre-order. I'm currently pool mining with several bits of crappy hardware at total of 16Mhash/s

Yeah, I think a Pi would be a great starter computer, great for learning Linux and if you do anything really stupid to your installation you're only 5 minutes away from a re-imaged SD card.

Not at all, I was only joking  

It's a perfect use of a RPi, I hope you manage to source one soon!

Thanks Luno

  Nobody trusts me 

Not even a little surprised though, almost didn't bother posting it.

Hi,

I got into bitcoins recently, for fun really, and also to pay for a VPN service.
I don't have very many, nearly 2  

This weekend I built Armory 0.82.4 for Raspberry Pi following FiloSottile's gist https://gist.github.com/3646033 with some tweaks for Raspbian.
I now have my 2012-08-16 Wheezy Raspbian Pi running Armory 0.82.4 as cold storage for my meagre 2 BTC and thought I would share the build to save people a few hours.
It's not likely anyone will trust using it but it's here on my SkyDrive http://sdrv.ms/O8vBgw. I've tested creating a wallet, 'printing' a pdf backup, saving a watch only wallet and signing an offline transaction, all worked fine.

I figure what's the possible harm I could be intending to commit with software intended to run on a computer with no internet connection...

"First post ever and this guy links to some dodgy software..."... I know, I know.
