Thanks for the dust Kano. Now I'll have some mining income for my "Bitcoin Mining and Trading" business in 2021 instead of just capital gains. Maybe the IRS will send me fewer love letters.

Great idea and implementation of payout scheme and great pool. Mined often in the early days and like checking on occasionally. Now just a trader.

All things must pass

Over the last week whenever I try to download transaction history been getting HTTP 500 error. Have tried in Chrome and Internet Explorer, tried clearing cache, tried clearing cookies and other site data, turned off pop up blocker, turned off firewall and virus blocker, even tried on 3 different computers. Always get error.

Submitted a bug report and they claim site is ok. Anybody else having this problem or know how to fix?

I had similar problem due to corrupt wallet save. Move your wallet files to a temp folded and reopen electrum. It will default to creating a default wallet, which you can do or direct it to a known good wallet.

Hate having to download another copy of the blockchain.

Has anyone tried loading bitcoin2x-qt into the same folder as bitcoin-qt and sharing the same blocks folder?

Anybody tried this wallet and have comments?

SSH login with root/root works with all other controller boards, just not this particular one. Temporarily switched out with known good board and could acces through SSH and worked fine. Turns out it's a bad board. Can't buy R4 board anymore but ordered an S9 board. Read that they can be loaded with the R4 firmware and will work.

Have an 8.5 Th/s R4. When I try to change the pool URL from the default antminer pools and hit Save&Apply all fields go blank and doesn't connect to anything.

Can do the R4 reset button and antminer pool settings come back and mines fine to antpools and resets to root/root. So thought I could use PuTTY to go in and modify the /config/bmminer.conf file to replace the antpool data with my pool and reboot. But when I try to log in with the default root/root I'm told invalid password even though it lets me log into miner from browser using root/root. But even in browser when I try to change password using "root" as current PW, it tells me invalid password???

Bottom line is I can turn on and connects and mines fine to antpool but I can't change the pool settings.

Anybody see before and know how to fix?

New S9 with power supply for $1390?

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone ever purchased from this site?

I have an S9 being delivered today to US. Never have paid customs since began ordering with S1 from Bitmain in 2014. Always ordered UPS.

I downloaded etherwallet-v3.10.9.2.zip to put on my cold computer, but don't see a PGP signature or any hash to verify the file is authentic.

Am I missing something?

Is there anyway to verify authenticity?

Next Big Bang episode about BTC should push it well above $10k from all the attention. Good time to sell.

Same here. Never had a problem.

See my earlier post. As stated earlier "I want to do with dice because I've seen too often where computer generated random numbers are not always truly random, and that weakness is not immediately discovered."

I just don't trust computers to generate random numbers and want to use dice.

Sure you can say my personality, taste, etc., will dictate the dice I pick but I believe that's a bunch of nit-picking baloney. Some of you make it sound like somebody can just do a psychological profile of me, can determine the dice I pick, how I roll, get a hold of the dice, duplicate my exact technique, and come up with the same 100 Base6 values that I use to generate my private key. Believe that's a bunch of crap. In reality I would just use the dice that came with my Yahtzee game, roll them on different surfaces, different rates, and I myself could not even duplicate knowing everything about myself and my technique used.

But if there's an error in a computer generated program that makes it not really random, that can and has been exploited.

You don't understand the question. I'm already using cold storage and paper wallets. What does that have to do with how the addresses are generated?

Already explained

I just don't trust computer generated random numbers and want to generate ETH addresses with physical dice.

Icebox allows you to for example, use 5 dice rolled 10 times to create a user-defined string that is hashed together with a random string for a guaranteed 128 bits of randomness in your seed.

See https://github.com/ConsenSys/icebox for details.

Has anyone used? Is it trustworthy?

How can we tell if code such as this has been reviewed and is not a con?

I want to do with dice because I've seen too often where computer generated random numbers are not always truly random, and that weakness is not immediately discovered. Don't see how rolling 6 dice 10 times and hashing those 60 numbers to create a private key "will always be subject to the life experiences of yourself ..." as you state. At least rolling the dice are not subject to a coding error.

I'm still using an old XP computer for cold storage and to to sign transactions prior to broadcast. Currently running full install of electrum-2.9.3 using chrome and it currently works great with no problems.

Just wondering how much longer electrum will run on XP and if it's time to set up a cold computer with Ubuntu or some other more modern OS?
