You could try sbin/pushpoold --help

Ok silly me. Of course. Found them.

They are correct in their assertion, presuming an untrust worthy service provider. If I were them I would not allow my security to rely on the skill or goodwill of others.

It would be best practice. Especially if you are effectively only using it as a password i.e. single factor authentication.

The danger is that a site you are logging in to will reuse your login details to access another site you might also use. Effectively your classic man in the middle attack.

Is there any documentation stating the meaning of the command line arguments flags for pushpool?

I want to try to usb, but I think the result is not optimal

Why do you say not optimal? What do think will be the deficiency? Remember mining is not about IO bandwidth, at least on the mining rig side.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. However as a guess -> I am not familiar with these boards.

This is all on a Unix/Linux system. Get a USB hub. Connect them all to the USB hub via USB connections. Run cgminer with the relevant FPGA support compiled in an point them to  your USB ports. With cgminer pointing to a pool of some sort and configured for with your pool login/miner details and off you go.

I'm sure somebody will correct my mistakes and or oversights.

Does it matter? There is more variation between individuals than there is between the average of the genders.

I reckon here is better than Facebook for bitcoiners. Facebook is just a cess pit. Of course my opinion on that might not be so popular.

Yeah, but some people are on Facebook more, and Facebook notifies your phone.

True, I guess some folks are getting value from it. Why not.

I don't think it's serious impediment. People use stuff without being involved at every level all the time. Mining is only one part of the picture and realistically it's only dominating that picture in the early stages of the bitcoin lifecycle. It's currently low fruit. As it becomes stupidly difficult to find new coins, mining will become less visible and the focus will switch to other areas of bitcoin. Miners will eventually have to survive on transaction fees alone, we'll have to get used to paying those or our transactions won't be processed!

Is there a way to tell how much more time you need to spend online? I mean *I think* I should be able to post outside of newbie box now, but the system says "no". I can see how may posts I have but I don't know about how much time I have spent here?

Bitcoin energy usage is tiny compared to the energy used by the fiat system too, ATM machines alone consume at least 150x as much as the Bitcoin network.

I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. The amount of bitcoin in circulation isn't all that much.

It's not that hard I am sure; if how to run the software is your problem, that's a nice problem to have. The first  and real problem is when and if you get your ASIC.

As far as I understand they're separate but working collectively. The work is split at a higher level so they don't really need to communicate all that much with each other.

Actually; are any ASICs shipping in consumer grade numbers? I kind of get the feeling there is about 4 in existence.
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is bitcoin mining environmentally responsible? on: April 17, 2013, 01:02:56 PM
I don't think it's very environmentally great, but then nothing much we do is as humans. Probably the newer tech like ASIC will be more energy efficient which will be good. Factoring the environmental cost properly into the cost of generating power (taking into account the type of power generation i.e. coal, nuclear, solar etc) and passing that cost on to the power consumer is probably the best way for the market to correctly rate their particular scale of mining operations impact on the environment because it will be reflected in the bottom line.

Where I live solar is common and grid power is not especially cheap, so it become more sensible to mine during the daylight hours only and use just the solar power. Though it slows things down considerably, if your power costs are substantial it can make sense.

Well I think if it survives this current media heat and comes out the end without being too scathed, it will actually be in really good position to grow and be accepted more widely.

No problemo. Understood.

19  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hello! Introduction + A chance of help with PushPool? on: April 10, 2013, 05:59:21 AM
Hey!

My name is Mark, And I have finally decided to get into BitCoins, I remember when I saw bitcoin was worth $4 but thought to my self ah is this  a scam some kind of scheme and didn't do anything about it, And then I saw it was like $12 and said Dam I should've bought shitload of it I missed the opportunity sucks. And now when it's huge $137. I'm definitely late because I think that soon it will drop sharply or the goverments will screw it. But I'm going to try Smiley


I really need help with my mining pool, I got it setuped bitcoind + pushpool + mmcafe frontend. The issue: Pushpool process doesn't stay a live I use "top" command to see CPU usage I can see pushpool appearing and disappearing. And then it's just on 90% CPU... and it seems like the front end site mmcafe is down for sometimes and then back again with lags. And the miner gives the following error: pool 0 http... is not responding
I was fine before when I had low mh/s around 500 but now around 1000mh/s there are issues :/ any ideas?

There are known performance issues with pushpool at current, I'm not exactly clear when they kick in. I don't think they were ever solved. Most people who hit them moved to other pool backends.
