This is relevant and hopefully it will be on topic sooner rather than later.

For my day job, I'm seeing more people moving to the cloud. The biggest issue with people using the cloud is wi-fi congestion. Other than that, it can be a seamless workflow between using desktop applications and cloud based applications.

At some point in the near-ish future, I doubt people will be able to tell the difference between using a cloud based application, the internet or any remaining desktop applications.

Microsoft have got this whole cloud focus thing spot on. I know from work colleagues that Microsoft are about to spend a ton of money on cloud hosting and data centers.

Then we have the news from Intel.  The inventors of Moore's Law have now said Moore's Law is to be consigned to history. Intel are now focusing less on processing speed and more focusing more on power consumption. Increases in processing power will be on higher end chips that will power cloud servers.

Creating applications that are indistinguishable between local machines or the cloud is the direction of travel, even for decentralization.

Interesting times ahead. It would be great to have Spreadcoin and Dash in the top 10. Masternodes and Servicenodes bringing overlay networks to compete with Blockstream. $76m vs. community engagement. Old way of doing things vs. new

Nodes at home are facing some serious bandwidth issues:

Well this is cool, i'll definitely use this. I might hide 100 spr somewhere and forget about it, then find it when its worth 100k!

Nodes at home are facing some serious bandwidth issues:

How much does this kind of bandwidth usage cost? Does the 'more people use bitcoin' argument explain this surge in bandwidth?

[klondike_bar]

37kWh per transaction?



The true cost of each Bitcoin transaction is much, much, much higher than I ever thought.

This guy runs a mining and hosting for a fee operation, so he knows about costs (I suppose the Chinese don't really pay electricity).



Interesting that the risks to Bitcoin that we thought would be really big risks are being brought up by those closest to mining:

The Bitcoin halving this year will be painful, unless there is a price increase, but the halving in 4 years time is a 'survival' event.

37kwh @ $0.10usd/kwh (cost most miners pay less than) = <$3.70, realistically closer to $3 conidering the large miners with <$0.05/kwh power

Any updates on test net?

Block 397416 is exactly 1mb

Uncommon problem - I have mined quite a lot of blocks and want to move to another address/exchange.
Now when  I try to send about 900 (quantity?! I am not sure how these are called - in this particular case they are the blocks) there is a fee and the transaction goes through:



The problem is when I try to send more (quantity) I hit the maximum for a transaction and wallet would not process the transaction.
The following appears after I enter my wallet encryption key and hit enter:



And then:



What is the limit of a transaction (max quantity or bytes or something)?
I could go ahead and select them (quantity/blocks) manually but that would be a physical and mental challenge:
ARROWDOWN, SPACE, ARROWDOWN, SPACE, ARROWDOWN, SPACE, ARROWDOWN, SPACE, ARROWDOWN, SPACE,  and so on... thousands of times!
That "problem" is very peculiar and I wouldn't think it would a be a very common one.
Still - does anybody have any ideas how to proceed, so I make my life easier?

Too many dust transactions: It happens often.

You should use "coin control" in order to combine some of the largest unspent outputs you have in your wallet with a few of the smaller ones, creating bigger outputs: repeat this as many times as needed until you reduce the too large number of tiny outputs you've got in your wallet.

...

Options > Display coin control features
and then
Send Coins > Inputs

Is it possible to for the devs or support team to apply to Azure so we can use their cloud for test net?  I just spotted that they seem keen for having Spreadcoin on their platform -

I don't see how this will help me - and if not - why do you bother just repeating what I already talked about?
As you can see from the screenies I already use coin control. And I understand what is going on.
My questions are - what are the limits and is there any way to use console commands for coin control?

Once in coin control > inputs > list mode, check 1/4 of the boxes and send as one transaction... Do this for the rest of your inputs and you should be good.

I have no idea if this can be done with commands.

[bitcreditscc]

That is a common problem.

make sure Bytes < 10000

anything larger will not be accepted.

Actually it's 100000:

I see your problem.
Maybe you can use AutoHotKey (or something similar) to create a macro so you can automatize keystrokes:

AutoHotKey script would look like this:

Code:

^#!x::
Loop, 500
{
    Send,{Down}{space}
    Sleep, 50
}
Return

Explanation:

Code:

^#!x::

means you can trigger this macro by clicking Ctrl+Alt+Windows+x simultaneously.

then the following code (until Return is reached) is executed:

Code:

Loop, 500
{
    Send,{Down}{space}
    Sleep, 50
}

which means we are creating a Loop that runs 500 times, and each time we are sending a {Down} and a {space} keystroke,
followed by a small pause of 50 milliseconds so that spreadcoin-GUI can catch up. (probably not needed)

You'll need to adjust the numbers, hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
