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
).
