I am port forwarded, yes I hand built a list of nodes. I use it to jump start a fast connection. It was a pain in the ass but it will work for anyone anywhere to give them roughly 100 connections.

All you have to do is put in your details in the file

Download the block chain on a new client very fast


If people want it I will be happy to post it.  Simple, but a pain to put together

thanks for posting that.  but doesn't opening the router port and using addnode open you up to hacks?

[jborkl]

A hacker would have To answer this, but I only opened 8333 for bitcoin to use.

I also only run the client in a wallet with no funds

I pool my workers on my lan and send them to that ip to use

My backup pool is my other ip, on another machine (miles away) with no funds with 8333 opened for only bitcoin

I don't know about hacking too much, so someone else would have to chime in

Well you can get hack regardless if you have a port forwarded or not. If someone wants in bad enough, they will get in. Don't foul yourself thinking your un-hackable, only way to do that is seal your computer in concert and toss it in the ocean.

well, as i see it, there are 3 things to worry about with so many connections but i'm no expert:

1.  cdecker had 5000 connections and looked to be mining several consecutive blocks but in fact was only relaying them.  i think it brought attention to his IP and his wallet.dat may have been pilfered by some Russian hacks altho i'm not sure he ever really had an answer:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=113775.0

2.  the other thing that concerns me is the "connect" command which will connect you to anyone running a node and hackers can run nodes.

3.  all hackers know that 8333 is the Bitcoin port so wouldn't they "look" for IP's using this port with lots of connections? 

i'm no security expert that's for sure so i'm only asking.

I really am not sure, but my take on this--please correct me if I am wrong


they would need rpcuser, rpcpassword  that would allow them to mine on my machine for me

to make changes they would also need also need (i dont remember the command right now exact) walletpassphrase also?


I also agree, there are many ports already open for various programs to use on any windows machine. 

I just found a way to make downloading the blockchain faster, without having to download a blockchain file(which could be bad)

didn't the sourceforge mirror for the client get hacked?

Right now I am at risk, as far as I see, for a block I find to get hacked (stolen)until I can move it (120 confirms) to somewhere safer?

I didnt give instructions on how to put it anywhere, or how to get there so I don't look like I am doing anything wrong

Thread derailment successful.

[jborkl]

Sorry,  angry post guy can come back and ride Tom's ass about power now. Didn't mean to derail the thread
but I do see it relevant to this

there are two parts to Bitcoin, but people only focus on one- Mining

Nodes are just as important right?

The last block I found was relayed first halfway around the world, not by my node (this is why I upped my connections in the first place)

With Asics early adopter - better off mining solo, so you need a really well connected node

what use is finding the block if you lose the race to claim it?

Maybe I am seeing something wrong?

Also, when using a fast machine with only 8 inbound/outbound split connections. Solo pool runs out of work even when borrowing longpoll. If you up your connection count, when the block changes you don't run out of work. (example very low accepts from where you "borrow"  longpoll)

Very applicable to Asics in the future(didn't word this right but I am on my phone)

With Asics early adopter - better off mining solo, so you need a really well connected node

Having large numbers of connections is counterprouctive because block relaying is serial, you're more likely to get stuck feeding to some slow edge host in Africa for 30 seconds the more peers you have.

what use is finding the block if you lose the race to claim it?

It is quite rare that two solutions are found within seconds of each other.  The formula is p=1-e^(-1/600*delay_seconds)  so there will only be a contest within 10 seconds 1.6% of the time, and even if you're slow to propagate you still may win it. After all, your competition experiences delays too.

It's bad to be slow, but being fast isn't terribly important. Having a fast node— e.g. SSD or tmpfs storage for the blockchain, ultraprune, fast machine with lots of ram—  is more important than connectivity... but it's still not terribly important.

is there such a thing as the optimum #connections for a solo miner?

(dont copy this- you need to port forward your router and allow 8333 on windows - not all of these work and I am not sure you need addnode,but i put it together and it will connect to about 100 clients withing say 2 minutes)(if you are solomining you need to add rpcuser/pass server=1- but I don't need to tell you that)

I also used -dns argument when starting bitcoin-qt  (someone know if that helps?)

FTFY. Do you really need 1000 separate lines?!

(dont copy this- you need to port forward your router and allow 8333 on windows - not all of these work and I am not sure you need addnode,but i put it together and it will connect to about 100 clients withing say 2 minutes)(if you are solomining you need to add rpcuser/pass server=1- but I don't need to tell you that)

I also used -dns argument when starting bitcoin-qt  (someone know if that helps?)

Blockchain Jumpstart v1.0

FTFY. Do you really need 1000 separate lines?!

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin
-addnode=<ip>      Add a node to connect to
 -connect=<ip>      Connect only to the specified node at <ip> or <ip:port> (default port: 8333).

doesnt
-connect=
overide the
-addnodes ?
 i.e. "Connect only"

Will the new ASIC devices use the same command line mining software or will there be a gui for us neophytes?

What kind of GUI are you capable of using? What have you used. I'm sure Tom is all ears.

With Asics early adopter - better off mining solo

Why?

maxconnections=1000

This is asking for memory corruption and or FD exhaustion that will cause it to crash and potentially corrupt your wallet. Good luck with that.

is there an optimum #connections for a solo miner using linux?

I came up with a idea for myself, and then CableZ asked how

I realized other people could benefit by it, but I said

I did not know if addnode was needed
that I get about 85 connections average(65-100 variable) at any given time per ip, not 1000  --- I put 1000 in to see what happens <-- nothing happened so you could put 100


Benefits

1. Faster Blockchain download from a new client  

2. Observation -  fast solo mining pauses with 8 connections when the block changes, due to new block being loaded - you lose about 4% of your hash power -observing shares submitted to backup non-solo mining pool.

If you have a high connection count the block is loading faster, I am observing a .005 % loss to block loading now.

(#2 is real observation, people could somehow argue whatever)

Your observations are flawed though I can't tell how with how little information you provided.  In Bitcoin the block is always sent sequentially with one peer at a time. They do not increase your download speeds. And if you do reach 1000 connections you will crash.

Will the new ASIC devices use the same command line mining software or will there be a gui for us neophytes?

BFGMiner
CGMiner
MPBM

Will all be supported for sure. I have been talking to DrHaribo about possibly supporting BitMinter which is a java based web gui type thing
but to be honest I am not to crazy about supporting closed source stuff. I told him I will think about it and get back to him


spending the day working on getting the new office space ready - will be doing customer service this evening so if you are expecting an email from me - you will get it tonight.

Otherwise I am available by phone right now if anyone needs me 315 514 0269

What kind of GUI are you capable of using? What have you used. I'm sure Tom is all ears.

I used the windows "gui miner" in the past and then also the AOCLBF which I really liked.
Something along those lines would preferable.
