How to use json client in QT wallet
by
Mazakguy
on 17/09/2013, 16:35:26 UTC
Hi,

How do you use the json client in the QT wallet.

I have daemon and server set to 1 in the config file.
I have rpc port and ipallow set, also user name and password.

I can mine fine off this wallet with cgminer.

I am trying to write a program in QT and I need to be able to send commands to the wallet.

I have tryed using tcpsocket and I get socket closed after I send the command and try to read the response.

I have also tryed using the networkmanger but that just hangs and never gives a reply.


I am sending the command string: {"method":"getdifficulty","params":"[]","id":"getdifficulty"}:

What do I need to send before this? Do I use socket or netman.

I never get a reply from the wallet.

Thanks,

Mazakguy

Re: Why is litecoin hyped so much when it doesn't add any value over bitcoin?

The biggest and really significant weakness of BTC is SHA-256, that is ASICs (which are a very genuine threat feasible for any dedicated attacker, getting a design and building a semiconductor fabrication plant can be had for a few $M). All renowned cryptographers agree that scrypt is far superior. Also the hashing algorithm can never be changed for BTC because that would require resolving the entire historical blockchain to achieve the same level of security LTC brings from the start. SHA-256 coins are rightly dead, and BTC is the only one still living off its initial and very major publicity until it will be replaced by a superior competitor (quite likely LTC or possibly PXC) just like Netscape Navigator, Yahoo Search, Friendster, Myspace, or any other generally innovative tech with execution flaws was. Doesn't take a genius to see that.

Also an imo ideal compromise between block time and network scalability (those altcoins with 60 seconds blocktimes and less couldn't ever scale to even what the BTC network is now).
I wonder if you would be saying the same thing if you had 50000 BTC tucked away.



But MOST of us don't have 50000 BTC tucked away.

See here is where most of the large holders screw up in there thinking.

When asic came out they were priced very high in BTC, and most people didn't have that many, so only a select few got them.

Up went the diff on BTC to the point GPU miners could not make a profit. Now since GPU miners make up about 80%+ of the miners what did you think they were gonna do, sit by while the old guard has steak to eat, while they get bread crumbs.  They are moving to the scrypt coin and nothing can be done about it.

BTC are only worth something because people say they are.

Well the 80%+ is getting ready to say BTC is NOT worth anything anymore. Hence LTC is rising.

The old guard has not relized the the BTC train is entering the last station. You must either change trains or stay at the station.

So, the GPU miners are starting to vote with thier feet.

Now that it is too late, the old guard, ie large BTC holders, seeing what is happening are starting to panic. They will try anything to keep their riches.

But when they are the only one left in BTC with their shiny asic what will they do?

I keep hearing how in the crypto coin world the great thing is how it takes 51% to change things. Well the 80% is starting to speak, and the old guard just hates it.

Ya reap what ya sow. They had it good, but got TOO greedy, and the rest are tiring of it. If they had let it spread out more this would not have happened imo.

So what ya gonna do old guard? Don't think there is much ya can. Have fun with your hoard of coins soon not to be worth much Shocked

Re: Question for GPU miners

But what about this.

Bitcoin is only worth something because people say it is.

What happens when all the GPU miners (70%+ of miners) move to scrypt and say Bitcoin is worth nothing?

Then what will the asic guys do?  Trade among themself? Polish there shiny useless hardware? Cry over it and short it out?

In the end they could be left holding the bag and I think that would be great Grin

Solo each rig or pool
by
Mazakguy
on 21/06/2013, 19:14:43 UTC
hello all,

Looking for opinions on this.

Say you 4 mining rigs and want to solo mine.

 Is it better to point each one at the client, or make a private pool to point at the client.

It seems to me it would be better to do the private pool so the rigs don't work against eachother.

Is that how it works?

Just wondering, and yes I know 4 rigs is not much to solo mine, but wondering how the probabilitys work out.

Anyone know?

Edit:

I think I didn't state it clearly. My bad.

I mean having each rig point at MY bitcoin-qt, each rig solo mining by itself.

OR making my own pool with just MY rigs, and pointing the pool at MY bitcoin-qt, basicly solo mining with my OWN pool.

Maybe that states it better. Sorry for the mix-up Huh

The purpose of this whole thread is pointing out that there is no challenge to anyone that is actually a member of this community.

Responding to a threat by a person, that I have never spoken to and that intends to attack me and the community I care about, defiantly, is my right.

It still isn't an open invitation for any individual to attack a community for no actual reason.

You can overclock just fine, But you can't under VOLT in linux without a bois flash that I know of.

Need a way to software undervolt in linux. I can save almost 150 watts per 3 card rig doing so
