I mean, anyone have received tracking code or L3+ Miner of July Batch?

Check the calendar. It's still May. The tracking code is for the actual shipping carrier. Since the July batch ships in ....July then don't expect a tracking code until July.

Ugh, one of my APW5 PSU's gets burning hot to the touch within a few minutes of plugging it in.  I don't feel comfortable running a PSU like that, so one of my L3+'s is just sitting there, it is really hard to look at.  Unless I can get it running with a Lepa 1600 watt, will have to count how many 6 pin connectors it has.

Otherwise, first person to offer $3k for it gets it.

Don't bother with the LEPA 1600W power supply. It's garbage. If you're going to spend money just get the one Antminer makes/recommends or if going with a computer PSU get a name brand like EVGA or Corsair.

At what point do you think the Komodo Price will reach parity with the current BitcoinDark price? Will it ever? Is that even the intent? Just curious as I'm thinking of investing long term in Komodo but I need to know if I have a realistic outlook first.
304  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Research] Bitcoin implementation in a MMORPG (That already exists!) on: April 27, 2017, 02:40:56 PM
Not to piss on your parade fellow, but most of these large MMORPG games do not want to touch Bitcoin, until it has been clearly defined or

regulated as a currency. The negative publicity is not helping... I also tried to pitch this to a game I am playing, and I was banned on the

forum for 6 months. They are not very open to debate... So good luck.  Roll Eyes
So some lesser MMORPG developers won't touch bitcoin but meanwhile Steam has no problem with accepting it as payment method?
The one argument I think they could came up with is that they don't want to add currency to the game to not spoil children or something.
It might be the case if they haven't cash shop with items in the game already!

If you were banned only for suggesting Bitcoin then you know that developers/moderators are ignorant idiots and the game is probably not worth playing anyway.

The biggest issue is gambling laws. Steam allows Bitcoin as a payment method but allowing cryptocurrencies in games for in game items means legal hurdles for game developers particularly in games where there is some level of chance.

Then there are developers like Linden Labs, CIG, etc which don't want to have their in-game currency used outside the game so they can control the internal economy without external forces.

Lets pretend Bitcoin really did upgrade to a new POW algorithm and left all the asics and mining farms, mining equipment and whatnot useless. Is this really what Bitcoin needs? I dont think this will have a good image to the general public. It could be viewed much worse than Ethereum's hard fork.

Ethereum's hard fork is not viewed poorly by industry. It's price has gone up nearly 6x what it was after the ETH/ETC split. To industry it's hardfork was viewed as the Ethereum Community moving fast to stop a theft. Emphasis on moving fast...unlike Bitcoin.

Currently mining on the NomNom.technology pool, payments stopped yesterday and I have a bigger balance in my pending balance than paid balance.

I checked other miners on the pool and it looks like no one has been paid recently.

I tried to go to their slack to file a report, but I don't have any of the email addresses required to sing up.

If the owners of NomNom.technology see this, please check your pool and make sure you pay your miners otherwise they will defect to other pools.

I see it. Payments will commence shortly. Software bug.

It's not a bug it's an node issue that needs to be restarted? Just curios I thought you weren't operating a pool anymore though in your precious response ? I'm just trying to figure you guys out here. There are some inconsistencies in your communication some times and with all the scams you know you just can't be to sure.

The bug is in the payout node binary. From time to time the wallet auto locks and I have to reset it and then do a manual push of the payouts.

And why does it 'auto lock'? What triggers it?

And this is what happens when you have a pool with 80% of total hashrate on it.
Hopefully you will get paid out without a problem. Otherwise I may still open a pool if the network needs one.
The pool is rock solid other than the payout module that locks from time to time on payments.

That's not "rock solid" or stable and could be interpreted as a poor attempt at market manipulation.
 
Whether that is correct is up to how much we trust you.

This is crypto after all. It's supposed to be trustless.

^^THIS

Makes it really easy to try to prevent people from dumping. Is it a coincidence this happened when the Bittrex price dropped below 300 satoshis? I'm sure the owner-operator of NomNom and Musicoin core team member PCMode will say 'of course'.

Like I said, mining should be decentralized. The Musicoin site should encourage people to mine at other pools or mine solo (if they have 1GH/s or more) to spread the hashrate around, not consolidate it under a pool which is operated by a core member.

It's healthier and price will reflect this once NomNom drops below 51% of the hashrate.

Of course delaying payouts as a means to prevent dumping never works because people end up dumping once they've been paid out anyway. If anything it makes the problem worse.

The market isn't stupid.
312  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Infaltion rate on: April 07, 2017, 04:43:38 PM
@DEVS: why do you have choosen such a high inflation rate?

Please read the white paper and info on the website. If you have further questions about the economics please join the Slack.

Thanks!

Having read the whitepaper I was wondering if there was a reason why the very simple answer to Donald's question is not on the first post in this thread?

It seems you get asked this all the time and having it right out there would do a lot to dispel misunderstandings and FUD as a result of people only being familiar with the Bitcoin monetary model.

Any chance you can put a dumbed-down explanation in the first post? Cause right now people are just dumping their musicoins left and right on Bittrex. I can't help but wonder if this is the reason why?
 
Bitcointalk is full of mostly traders, speculators and miners. Make it simple for them.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Global $MUSIC Repertoire based on Musicoin blockchain on: April 03, 2017, 05:46:50 PM
I hope it wasn't a scam its their main pool listed on both website and announcement. Im owned around 2300 music coins please get this sorted devs.

0x306340c607aed63945414ce0e465b1be0624cccd

Better off solo mining folks.

I warned you, when one pool has more than 51% of the hashrate that is not good.

Crypto is supposed to be decentralized and trustless and yet miners are asked to trust pools not to be scams when little to nothing is known about the reputation of their owner/operator.

The only way to vote is with your feet. Leave for other pools or solo mine if you have enough hashpower.

Staying with the status quo of one pool controlling 60% of the hashpower means we'll watch the value of Musicoin steadily decline as scammers and people afraid of them dump their coins.

What have right now is:

Nomnom controls 60% of the mining power
Nomnom also controls the network stats page here: http://nodestats.nomnom.technology
Nomnom is anonymous

What could go wrong?
When you mining on nomnom pool you are donating MUSIC to dev, because the fee that pool taking from you is going to the devs for platform updates and developments.
The owner of nomnom pool is pcmode. You can ask him anything in Musicoin slack.

I mine solo. Who is pcmode is the question that needs to be answered. I don't trust pools where the owner/operator's real name is not known.

Its easy to steal when you're anonymous.

You must be VERY new to bitcoin.

Most if not all pool operators are anonymous and there is nothing wrong with  that.




Not new to Bitcoin at all.

The people who operate F2Pool, Antpool and other pool operators are known people with real names.

Trustless means nothing if you ask people trust someone anonymous who may or may not be legit.

You would think with all the effort going into launching this coin the devs would care a little more about what pools they are promoting. The main pool they are linking on announcement page and website are stealing peoples coins.

They have multiple post here on the forums(active today) and they are still actively recommending to use the pool?

 Makes me very suspicious of the whole project.

I have a couple questions about the project I hope the developers can answer.

I read the linked whitepaper on musicoin.org and still am wondering the following and hope these questions can be answered:

1) Where do the coins the artists are paid for plays come from? Does the site automatically buy coins on the open market or do the developers mine them and have a stash for site operations?

2) What features are planned for artists to exchange musicoins on site? If I were an artist with no knowledge of blockchain, wallets, exchanges, how would you make it easy for me to stay creative and withdraw my musicoins as fiat? Most music people aren't into Bitcoin so simply auto exchanging for that wouldn't really reach the intended people you're hoping to reach.

3) What is to stop some artists from turning this into a personal ponzi by having other artists tip them for tips in return?

is this safe in a decentralized network kind of ways?
the pool ubiqpool.io have hashing power of more than 80% of all network hashes..

how many confirmation should we wait for a transaction to be considered ok?

i see that the blocks are only generated by ubiqpool

i think the miner should consider to distribute their hashing power to other pools available
Or solo mine.
318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] $MUSIC on: April 02, 2017, 04:50:12 AM
Fellow miners, help spread out the hashing power by joining the pool - http://neonpool.ddns.net
Coin dev, please add it to the OP.

Payouts every hour with minimum 10 Musicoins. 0.5% pool fees to support pool maintenance.

the ethminer program i tried wanted a graphics card with MORE than 1GB of ram (ie: a 2GB card)
sorry, but upgrading my graphics just for mining is not justifiable and will stick with my
mere 1GB total card and not deal with eth algorithm coins.

must be nice for kids now days to have all those huge memory gaming graphics cards




Most people have graphics cards with 2GB these days. You can get an R9-270 on ebay for $50-100 USD.

Agreed.
musicoin.nomnom.technology has almost 51% of the network's hash rate.

If you don't have much hash power mine at neonpool to spread things out.

If you have 1 GH/s or more consider solo mining to decentralize mining further.

If you're serious about a Proof-of-Work switch I would humbly point you to what Nexus (http://nexusearth.com/features.html) is doing with ASIC and quantum computer resistant Pure SHA-3 (Using Skein-1024 and Keccak-1600) CPU pool/GPU solo mining.

Here's their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=657601.0

Why? We're talking about Bitcoin. Unless you mean to one of their concrete PoWs for some reason. I didn't see much documentation on their PoWs there.

Yes. Specifically, we're talking about changing Bitcoin's Proof-of-Work.

OK try this then:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-3

I referenced Nexus as a real-world example because of their use of a combination of Skein-1024 and Keccak-1600 algorithms which leads to an ASIC and quantum computer Proof-Of-Work which is what this thread was about.

I propose if you're going to change Bitcoin's proof-of-work to something other than the current SHA-2(56) to something else then you might as well go all in on SHA-3 to make it even more secure against near-future quantum computing technology (which governments may already have).

SHA-3 does that.

For reference here are the lifespans of various cryptographic hash functions including our beloved SHA-2(56)
http://valerieaurora.org/hash.html

As you can see SHA-3 (Keccak) is the most secure and it has been brought up earlier in this thread.
