Yeah, so I decided to say screw it. No film. Entirely unrealistic to raise $500k from any source, regardless of BTC or not. So fuck it. Anybody want to buy an S3 or RockMiner New R-Box?

Seriously, all of these "my BTC was sent an address I don't know" posts are ridiculous. It's like at least once a week about change addresses.

Whats so ridiculous about those questions? Its a hard to grasp concept that bitcoin comes in lumps and is not just a balance where one can deduct a certain any amount. The questions only shows that most wallets do a very good job in hiding the details of the implementation from the user and that blockchain explorers are an unreliable tool when trying to assess a wallet.

It's ridiculous that it's constantly happening. If people constantly have to ask you have a serious design flaw, but I don't expect the fucking morons around here to understand that.

Javascript. It is getting mainstream. You can create Android app.. exe with it.

I think you're confusing Javascript with Java... You can't code an Android app entirely in Javascript. It uses straight Java for most of its programming SDK. You can use Javascript on top of it but not to code the whole thing.

Um... don't they have to get a warrant for that sort of stuff and doesn't it have to be served to you?

Nope... Not anymore. Anything left with the bank is considered their property until you retrieve it. The bank can give access to the box at any time to any one claiming to be a "law enforcement" agent or a federal agent. Normally they don't even need to provide identification that they are an agent. The bank nor the agent do not need your express permission to open it.

Rule of Story: DON'T USE DEPOSIT BOXES.

Codecademy.com is a free place to start if you're looking to do websites.
Maybe someone else here can suggest a good place to get started with C?
Codecademy is good.

Udemy is another place to look at; they have user submitted tutorials, some are paid, others are free. PluralSight is another, but that is paid, after a 10-day free trial. Surprisingly I still find some books to be relevant; at least as a starting point and reference guide.

PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, or C++. All of them are nearly identical, so you can go from one to other fairly easily. After the basics the primary differences are names for functions and the syntactical layout of stuff. PHP is the one of the most widely used web-programming languages, and that knowledge can be fairly easily moved to another. C++ or Java would be a decent place to start too, as they're the most abundantly used languages for desktop-based applications and mobile applications. If you want to start right up with desktop/mobile apps my suggestion would be C++, that's what the BitCoinD/BitCoin-Qt applications are coded in.

Ahh ok now I understand your goal better.  As far as crowdfunding I doubt it is a viable option.  Miners spend lot's of money on their gear and to keep it running.  It's not really a charity or something you will get many behind.

Ultimate goal is ROI for miners.   I doubt you will find many to use hash to pay for your film.

Not always though. I see people around here that say they don't care about making profit "but want to support the network". A crowdhashing website would help somebody raise funds and still assist in securing the network. And I wouldn't necessarily be asking people to point at the sub-pool/proxy 24/7 but maybe little bursts of 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there; which would still be beneficial to the project if it was pointing all the miners at a PPLNS payout pool, or even pointing to West/Nice Hash. If collectively through a bunch of different people pointing to the proxy for a little bit of time each day, that could maintain 1-20TH/s of constant speed (say spread across 100 people) throughout the day. Which is significantly better than the S3+ 450GH/s unit I have going by itself.

Plus that's the whole reason that I want to log shares, so people that contribute a certain amount of shares to the pool will be classified under different categories for receiving something in return for their time; a copy of the film, tickets to premiere, etc.


I might try to come-up with something myself in PHP... but not sure where to start. Definitely need to be using the socket functions. Looks like I have a lot of reading and coding to do.

If anybody is willing to help out, you can point any mining hardware to the BitMinter pool for a little while where you can use username "MovieMining" and any worker name you choose; even an AntMiner U2 would help.

Doesn't support X11 or Scrypt as far as I know.

You might look at some of the mining rental sites.  I believe beta rigs you can set miners for rent and have pools set on the site for when they are not rented.

So when not being rented you can pick pool on a website from anywhere with a internet connection.

You missed my second post.

i used both on many vps with splitting workers and it work like a charm

That looks decent; cleaner and better than what I found. Not sure by looking at it though if it'll log the actual amount of shares submitted per worker. I see hashrate but not shares submitted.

the java one should tells you "yeah" for every share it submit, and this for every worker, if you can't see this, then it isn't working

too bad i'm not using it anymore i or i could post some screen

Looked through the code some more. It doesn't do what I need it to.


So ultimately there is nothing out there does what I need. So I give up.

I did miss that somehow.  I have not seen anyone release code to do what your wanting and I doubt you can get something this advanced for free.

Likely it would take some cash to pay someone to develop it.   It sounds like a multipool is closest thing to it.  People point to it and you aim their hash where you want.

Except the whole point of the site is a crowdfunding/hashing site for a feature film I'm working, so I have no money.

I think I'm out of the BTC/AltCoin game entirely; total waste of time.

Because you have a limited amount of companies providing any given service, those companies can easily collude and lobby and do whatever the hell they want with their businesses, such as slowing traffic and charging for certain sites.

Huh

You have limited choices because local municipalities form contractual monopolies with companies to institute a one and only one option system for utilities. You have governments creating a problem and then trying to solve their own problem by enforcing price ceilings on the products; which then makes it highly unprofitable to be in the business that the company is in. How does that make an sense in the slightest? If I were comcast or Verizon or whatever I would say screw it, we're no longer over internet access.

i dont understand how this pool works..
i am seeing this
#324068   Standard   Alive   0.0120   1.50659467   4.63   1000.00   786   651.3364

and my P= is set to 0.0115.. it says there can be 1000 THS, but there is only 651ths being filled.. yet my miners are showing D on the pool..

shouldnt they be mining?



That order is the last one getting filled by the available hash power. There are currently only 938.1501 TH/s available for orders on westhash. Since there are other orders above this order, this order gets whatever is left over.

#323881   Fixed           Alive   0.0120      50.00           59   56.1730
#324449   Standard   Alive   0.0124      10.00           10   0.0147
#323996   Standard   Alive   0.0123      11.00           12   13.1375

#324430   Standard   Alive   0.0121         500.00           576   430.9073
#324068   Standard   Alive   0.0120        1000.00           518   398.3623

Add up the last column and it will come to about 938 TH/s.

Nasa reveals it will ‘DEFINITELY’ find alien life - in as little as TEN YEARS

TOP Nasa scientists said they are on the verge of finding life on another planet and ALIENS could be discovered inside a decade.



Jeffery Newmark, interim director of heliophysics at the space agency said it’s “definitely not an if, it's a when.”

During a public talk in Washington the space agency said the discovery that water once was present on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn meant humans were at the brink of an enormous breakthrough.

Ellen Stofan, chief scientist for Nasa, said: “I believe we are going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth in the next decade and definitive evidence in the next 10 to 20 years.

“We know where to look, we know how to look, and in most cases we have the technology.”

http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/569049/Nasa-find-alien-life-TEN-YEARS

That means they already have... they just want to admit it slowly so the public doesn't go into a mass hysteria.

They say there is proof.

NASA is hardly trustworthy. Anybody that believes any government source is truly gullible.
Well....

NASA has done an excellent job with it's planetary robotic exploration work.  The STS program, the space shuttle, that's arguable.  In general, NASA is flanked on the left by research departments at universities and private, and it is flanked on the right by an array of industries.  Those produce spacecraft, instrumentation, computer and control systems, rocket motors and so forth.

I'm not sure how words and phrases like "trustworthy" apply to such complex groupings.  Within NASA, there are  divisions by subject matter and by geographical location.

Do I trust the sort-of librarians in Houston whose job is to take care of the lunar rocks and material returned by the Apollo missions? 

Sure.

Etc.

Fine... Got nothing more to say. I think I'll stay out of the "Other" section of BCT from now on...

It wouldn't have all the features you want (number of shares submitted) but you could set something like this up with MiningRigRentals. Sign up, and input your pool mining information, then point your miners to the MRR proxy. It's easy to change pool credentials on Mining Rig Rentals afterwards at any time.

Usually MRR is used for miners to rent their hashpower out to others, which often pays more than mining bitcoins directly. However if for some reason you didn't want to rent your hashpower out (I don't see why you wouldn't want to though) then you could just set a high renting price. IIRC Mining Rig Rentals supports all three of those algorithms too, so it would be a start to a solution for you.

Yeah, I'm looking to run a sub-pool, so it would be other people connecting too; not just me. They would need their own username/workers and what not, so I can track their contribution to the pool. I would then point everything to another pool, to do the actual mining. It's a new website I'm working on, that I don't want to give to many details about, as of right now. It's a different kind of pool, I'll just leave it at that.

Found this; but of course it's in Python which I don't know too well.

https://github.com/CryptoManiac/stratum-mining-proxy

It seems I could modify the last couple lines of stratum_listener.py and the _on_submit method in getwork_listener.py to add a database submission, but not entirely sure. It seems like the last few lines of jobs.py might also be of interest for a database submission; I really don't know.

It also doesn't support X11.

Mining Proxy?

Is there any software out there that I can set-up on a remote server and point miners to that will then point to another pool? Basically creating a sub-pool which I can point where ever I want. It would also need to let me grab the total number of shares submitted (per user), so I can drop that info into a database.

I would set-up my own pool but I can't afford to rent a server with that much processing power, just something that can handle seeing the data and forwarding it (at least I'm thinking running a proxy would be lighter weight).


Also looking for it to support SHA, Scrypt and X11.

Get the "new r-box" from rockminer.

Mine has been hasing with no issues for months.. The U3 seems like a good idea alas is sounds like it zombies a lot :S.

I have S3's and a r-box both are awesome.  The R-box is cheap and only uses 100w which is nice.

r-box consume 50 watt only at 35 giga/hash, yeah it consumes a low amount, but so its hashrate, pretty useless

good only for experimenting, if you never mined anything

The new R-box is 110 Ghash at 110-120 watts.

http://shop.rockminer.com/goods.php?id=44

Priced very well.  I didn't even need a powersupply as my computer powersupply is solid so I juse used a spare PCI-E plug and run it from my comp powersupply using my comp as the controller.

.25 BTC for the miner plus shipping is a solid deal.  I am tempted to get another one for fun.

Don't bother with the new r-box. I have two (was only running one for about 5 weeks), one crapped out with in 2 months. Windows insists I'm trying to connect a USB 2.0 device to a USB 3.0 port even though it's plugged into a USB 2.0 port. I've had this with other USB miners too. I've moved them to other computers and everything, no difference... they're basically bricked. My other one is running fine (for now). I've only had this one going for about 3 weeks.
