I created "decompressed": 1DeCompReSsED8fvRqE97YWLYcoXH4GXw1

Signature for string "1DeCompReSsED8fvRqE97YWLYcoXH4GXw1": HIZe3d92LRm/a7ULUn3GtvXrck3Vti9SZWDgpXxQ/p4fOMjxAL2VuhYY3AA4UFwBGfG+/SBeVnnCl5It+7HMBJ0=

I have this machine and it is getting 1.05 terrhash per second no problem. I used btc guild at difficulty 1024. No problems.

My guess is that lower difficulty settings result in so many hits that it cannot communicate them fast enough. At 1024 I am getting a hit every few seconds. It may also be optimized for that difficulty.

Thanks to the guy who told me the ssh username and password!

It looks like I can collocate it in a data center in my city for not too much. It should pay for its months rent there in just a couple days of each month.

At the rate it is earning I should break even in about 11 weeks even after paying the data center.

It was only 8.4 bitcoins, not 10 and I have 1/4 bitcoin back already after just a couple of days.

Just got a 1T/hash 'FancyBitcoin Miner' - LOUD!

Hello. I just picked up one of these: http://coinsfortech.com/shop/coincraft-1ths-28nm-asic-bitcoin-miner-with-power-supply

It works very well right out of the box at the speed promised and I am already getting coins out of my pool after only 30 minutes.

However it is LOUD! It is like having a hair dryer running.

It is in my apartment and it is just unacceptable how loud it is. Does anyone have some advice on how I can solver this problem? Some sort of some proof cabinet or perhaps a quieter cooling system?

Re: BFL continues to lie about shipping times

Not really. "2 months or more" includes all times over 2 months even if they ship none in 2 months. That is what "or" means.
might as well say "Bitforce SC (ASIC) products are shipped in 1 second or more"

Yup, you understand.

I just wanted to point out that I have purchased gold coins from the OP in the past.

I paid upfront in bitcoins and got the coins in a matter of days. Would happily do business with this guy again.

Re: What is the safest way to import paper wallets?
by

The easiest way I know is to make a throwaway Blockchain.info wallet, import it, and send the funds onward.

Blockchain.info allows scanning of QR codes through the webcam.  Anyone can do it.

This is the easiest way, but far from the safest way. While blockchain.info does not ever get your key in regular use if a hacker modified its javascript it could get your private key.

That being said I feel safe using blockchain.info with a plugin that warns me when the javascript changes.

I don't like the idea of allowing a 3rd party to man-in-the-middle on a bitcoin website. That is a lot of trust.

I have not trusted hard drives since my raid5 array had a double failure.

I use a combination of cloud storage and printouts. Both encrypted to good passwords.

I am Ryan Bushby. I have been posting here for a little while under the name “HighInBC” I created this account for the business.

I have been selling precious metals informally for over 4 years on eBay. My seller account on eBay(HighInBC) has been active for over 11 years and I have 100% feedback.

Confirmed that I am the same person. Also see my eBay profile for "HighInBC" to see that I mention there that I am DPM.

It is only sort of working for me. I get a bubble every 20-30 seconds instead of a page full like the screenshots show.

A single bubble appears and the connect button is green for a while, then it disconnects and reconnects and I get one more bubble.

A linear line on a logarithmic chart is perfectly valid. It indicates a steady rise in value. The angle of the line corresponds to the growth rate.

The thing is that a "line" on a log scale is not a line or an angle, it is a curve.

Bitcoin don't need this

Everything is just fine the way it is

WE GOT ENOUGH BITCOINADDRESSES

try your magic trick in the circus Grin

Speak for yourself. I can generate addresses all day, it is not going to break the connection between the transactions.

Re: Manually generate keys like paper wallet generators do

I wrote this to create a deterministic wallet based on any string:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Digest::SHA qw( sha256 );

my $phrase = $ARGV[0];
my $iter   = $ARGV[1] || 10;

my $hash = '';
foreach ( 1 .. $iter ) {
  $hash = sha256( $hash.$phrase );
  my( $key, $address ) = string2keypair( $hash );
  print "$key\t$address\n";
}

sub string2keypair {
  my $key = chr(0x80).shift;
  my $hash = substr( sha256( sha256( $key ) ), 0, 4 );
  $key = unpack( 'H*', $key.$hash );
  $key = `./base58encode.sh $key`;
  `./keyconv $key` =~ m|Address: (1.*)|;
  my $address = $1;
  return ( $key, $address );
}

__END__
./base58encode.sh:
#!/bin/bash
base58=({1..9} {A..H} {J..N} {P..Z} {a..k} {m..z})
bc <<<"ibase=16; n=${1^^}; while(n>0) { n%3A ; n/=3A }" |
tac |
while read n
do echo -n ${base58[n]}
done

It uses "keyconv" from vanitygen.

Re: what is killing bitcoin by drastically deflating it?

Many bitcoin holders may feel like its a good thing that bitcoin -> $ value doubled within past few weeks,
but thats terrible news for people who sell stuff and would like to accept bitcoin...

With a payment service like bitpay you get your bitcoins converted to dollars instantly, so it does not matter what the price of bitcoins are. In fact when it goes up your customers suddenly have more money to spend.
