Has live suppot been taken down?
I have a question; If I send Bitcoins to a buddy who is offline, will these get rejected, or just float around in the network until he is online?

He will see them when his bitcoin client downloads the block with this transaction. You can send bitcoins to offline users. |

Hi!
I had automatic minimum payment to 10. I didnt know exactly what it did.
Today i passed 10 bitcoins and they disappeared, guessing they were automatically transfered to my deepbit adress, so i went to bitcoin program to see if there was anything and nothing. Doesnt show any 10 bitcoin transfer. Where did they go?
EDIT: Nevermind, already showing!

Hi,
I just have a quick question, i'm currently mining at average 860+Mhash/s, do you think which method should i use? PPS or Proportional? I know the basic infos but i would love to know more base on your experience.

It sounds like you want to obliterate pool mining all together. Everyone go back to solo mining, problem solved, :p
Even if you keep all the pools under 50% two pools combined would be well over 50% which can do far more damage and faster than 1 pool over 50%.
And it sounds like you're a selfish child who doesn't know how bitcoins work. a single entity needs to be in control of >= 51% of the mining for the double spending attack to even be feasible. 2 entities at 30% won't do shit. |

Tycho, in order to avoid all these hysterical voices  please implement a second pool!  Just license the software a reputable member who is willing to run another pool. |
If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.

They can work together and then yes, it is an issue. It is more difficult for an cracker and hacker to take over two pools. I would like to see three or for roughly equal size pools personally and all secured and ideally not running the same stock code (or craving and hacking multiple pools would be much easier). |

I'm failing to see you're point on multiple pools. Even if there was 4 equal size pools it would take almost nothing to ddos 3 of the pools off the network causing everyone to surge to 1 pool. I'm sure these pool owners aren't operating a google size network where DDOS attack won't phase them. Even VISA and multiple other enterprise corporations fell victim to DDOS attacks all at the same time during the wikileaks fiasco.
I still say if the system has this big of a flaw it never should have been adopted in the first place. The bitcoin system reminds me of the Death Star from Star Wars... Just gotta fire a single shot into the exhaust and it blows up.

Which is EXACTLY why I asked Tycho to voluntarily take measures to keep his pool from ever going above 50%. When I asked this, simply closing registration probably would have been adequate, but that is no longer the case. |

When I asked this, simply closing registration probably would have been adequate, but that is no longer the case. What's to stop someone from starting their own pool then writing a trojan or using a botnet to mine for their pool for the soul purpose of attacking the bitcoin system. I work in the IT dept of a very large (lets call it a corporation) we have over 10,000 HP EliteBook 8540w laptops at our discretion. I'm mining from mine and getting 65Mhash/s without any visible difference to the video performance. Let's say I create a service to mine bitcoins and push the service out to all 10,000 laptops that would give me 650Ghash/s by myself assuming a perfect setup where all laptops are deployed, in use, and online. I would now control ~25% of the total hashing power. This is just small scale example; if you applied the same theory to a worldwide computing trojan which could get up to 1.4Thash/s... bye bye bitcoin |

They do it for the lulz, More profitable for them to see a community rage than to make a couple dollars, lol, It's like people who stood in line to buy the first PS3 and then smashed it in front of everyone else waiting in line. |

If you'll take a look at http://bitcoinwatch.com/ you'll see that the community nature of bitcoin is already winning over such fears. Tycho has never come out against others opening new pools and why would he? To do so would be self defeating. As for double spending, remember the chained nature of the blocks? Processing always jumps to the longest most consistent chain, sure you might 'momentarily' get away with a double spend if you controlled over 51%, but not for long. The other 49% isn't exactly on a lunch break and WILL catch it. Anyway this argument is moot as according to Bitcoinwatch Deepbits share of the hashpool has indeed decreased as expected it would. Love me, hate me, want to toss away a couple coins? :1KNZSyAYKAZzFZC2pBWt3D4jGu5uJZCWSr |

Missclicked so i pressed Instant payout two times in a row, it stood my payment were 0.24, and my next 0.02. But i only recived the .02 and not my other 0.24. And only the 0.02 shows at transaction records  Is there something i can do?  |

Man in 15 days this pool has trippled in computational power. I myself have gone from 700Mh/s to 2.3Gh/s and plan on hitting 4Gh/s by the end of the month haha

Hey Tycho,
Can you explain how the stat under "My Account" that shows "BTC in last 24h" is calculated? I have 4 overclocked 5850's running at 1200 mh/s in your pool, and I do an instant payout ever 24 hours at the exact time so I can keep track of what I earn every single day. However my balance is usually off a decent amount from what is shown in "BTC in last 24h". I understand that there is pool variance but when I take the statistics for pool luck into consideration it is still off. I'm on a proportional payout. For instance right now I'm about two hours away from doing my daily withdrawal, and and the pool statistics show that the pool is +5.5% and my actual earnings are 30% below my "last 24h stat. The weird thing is that plugging my hash rate into your pay per share estimator show that I would earn more on average by doing PPS despite the 10% fee. This has happened consistently where the actual earnings are less than the stated amount. I will update this post in 2 hours to show my exact withdrawal amount versus the stated amount earned. I would appreciate any insight here, as it feels like I should be earning a bit more than I am right now. Thank you. Also, anyone with about the same hash rate care to compare numbers with me? I'd like to compare payout and see if something is off with my system or if misunderstanding some of these statistics. Please PM if you don't want to disclose your earnings publicly, thank you.

You never said how much you're actually earning... at 1100 Mh/s I would expect generation around 1.5-2 coins per day |

Is there something i can do? ??? Actually this shouldn't be possible because after first click your balance will be less than 0.01 BTC. PM me your login name and I will check what happened. |
