Wow, so much to read after 2 days of absence...
Regarding my problems with the faucet-reCaptchas: I tried with several different browsers and even different pc's, but the behaviour remains the same. The "audio" option is also useless for me, since as soon as I click on it the browser says that my IP sent too many request and is blocked.
However with some resilience I managed to get it to work twice (by solving 10-15 pictures...), so I guess there's some strange things going on with my computers...
It seems that the pool hasn't really improved block-wise, but with another mandatory incoming things could change pretty significantly, am I right?
Someone asked about BiblePay on Raspberry Pi. Today I found the time to try it, and it works very well!
Using Ubuntu Mate I compiled it with an additional 4GB of swap with the bash script from the reddit page: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d1c1d35e3c8f67f5fb2e204479fa5c6b
In this script I only added the --without-gui command (as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2042657.msg21878389#msg21878389) and changed the make threads to 2 (instead of 4 because of the very limited amount of RAM) and it took about 2-3 hours.
Using the pi in a standard case I had to add a tiny little fan to keep temps around 70°C (otherwise it maxes out at 85°C), but the pool performance is amazing! It usually sits at an HPS2 of 20-25k (so it's 1/4th as effective as my dual Xeon machines using 1/50th of the electrical power
).

).Great job on the Pi man! Maybe you can put it in a weatherproof box and mount it on the roof and make it solar + wifi, completely wireless? Check out ossias 1.5v wireless AA batteries, once those get here we could make a wireless laptop.
Im still working with Alex in slack on instantsend, we are trying to get an IS to go through on protocol version 70713. Hence the release delay. There is an unofficial release out there on the web site for windows that allows you to boot your controller wallet and start your sancs... but its unofficial.
The technical issue going on is in 70713, we are receiving a log entry saying that foreign sanctuary can not lock the funds for the IS payment to go through... frustrating, but we are debugging it...
