Is there any way to create a signature and change your settings if you are using a blockchain wallet. I am sure many people have a hard time with this. Any help you can give is appreciated.

Its very easy, here is the button you click to do it


Let me know if you need more help

What is the benefit of this action?

Benefit of online wallet or benefit of signing messages?

Oh sorry, the signing of messages

A signed message means the key owner approved the message.  The frequent use is to sign payment authorization, and this is transparent inside the wallet.

Another use might be with a configuration message.  If I change my payout at Eligius I can set the new donation amounts or thresholds.  When I sign that message, the Eligius software knows it was really me, and not some random griefer on the internet.

Another message that might be signed would be "Send $500 USD to John Doe, 123 Main St, Dallas in payment for 0.75 BTC"

The main benefit is that you have to do it in order to set up Namecoin payouts in the Eligius settings.  If you don't set it up, your Namecoin earnings are forfeited to the pool.

So, the board that arrived this morning at the data center was not the correct board.... figures.

In the meantime a temporary server is being setup to move affected services over.  Working on that now so I can at least get stats and payouts catching up.

Hope you understand you cannot just replace broken PCB with exactly same type working one. You will need some HDD initialization

Hmm, main web server down?

Would Eligius be susceptible to an attack like this?

That's a man-in-the-middle attack and I think there will always be some form of MITM attack that can be successful.  I wonder if this is the same one people were actually talking about some months ago that was diverting miners to a pirate pool at 46.28.205.80.  There was some discussion about using SSL to defeat that attack back then but not all miners support SSL so even if pools started doing so, some people would be susceptible.  And then do pools create two different ports for miners?  One for SSL and one not?  It may come to it though sooner or later if the price of BTC goes up.

This one says it was traced to an ISP in Canada though and that attack from some months back included people in the EU so it may be that there were more than one of these type of attacks.

I think this is the exact reason (stratum redirection from few weeks ago).
The miner may be in Europe, but if it's BGP route to an USA/Canada hosted pool goes through that ISP it is still possible to redirect him to a pirate pool

Estimated Position in Payout Queue
Approximately 0.00000000 BTC remaining to enter payout queue. Maintaining your 3 hour hashrate average, this will take at least another a few seconds at current network difficulty of 18,736,441,558.31.
This has been showing for three days, now no shares! What's wrong!

Read before posting, we are in failsafe due to a HDD controller failure, and it has been only 12 hours

It's been three days Bud, he missed me in the last payout.

No payouts for me since August 3rd, with 1.9TH, hopefully I have a decent payout coming to me today when wizkid gets the replacement server online and the payouts catch up. Oh, and the webserver is down at the moment.

that depends on the controller.  HDDs keep a config too, so you can move them to a new (same) controller hw and no volume setup etc.. is lost.

The most you can make with 1.9Th/sec right now in 4 days is about 0.2 BTC...

Still working on getting the temporary server up to speed.

I hear ya, I'm not expecting more than that, but 0.2BTC > 0BTC which is where I'm at so far.

A signed message means the key owner approved the message.  The frequent use is to sign payment authorization, and this is transparent inside the wallet.

Minor nit: this is confusing signed messages with ECDSA signatures in general.
Bitcoin signed messages prove the recipient of the address (not the key) agrees to the content of the message signed.
The recipient may not have/control the key behind the address, and may have no authority to speak for a transaction signed by the same key.

  manual payout anytime soon  

[kebabman]

manual payout anytime soon  

Yeah would be nice. It said I was getting paid out on the next block, then it said I was 2 blocks behind in the queue, then 0 again, now 1 block behind. Still no payout since August 3rd.

When you get a moment could you take a look for me please wizkid? My BTC address is 1MuvhMMDR2RTurY3keJP2grpSXjKVkLdCF.

[mdude77]

I appeared to have got a payout.  Doesn't look like it was manual.

I think I'm just going to put a 24 hour delay on answering any questions related to "I didn't get a payout!" from now on....
