Lots of interesting designs/concepts in here, ranging from messy-all-over-the-place setups to neatly organized racks. Mine use to be inside just a normal case, but temperatures got too high so now mine is the first option I mentioned haha. Takes up so much dam space.
You will eventually forge order from the chaos, just as we all eventually do.

Well, some of us do, at least...  Grin
I've never seen a server rack start messy and get better. Ever. Grin

I have only seen neatly organized racks stay neat and neatly organized racks become a rat's nest of ethernet and power cables.

... Lots of Images ...

So that looks really clean, but I'm curious as to why you even bothered with cases?  Seems like they just trap heat and get in the way when you want to do any maintenance.

the Led´s in the dummy plugs are not really usefull for everybody. they do the only job to show me if there is a card damaged.
for the reason that it is very cold and drafty in the room and that i´m very sluggardly i decide to install the led´s
because so i can see without open the glass door between the rooms that every card is ok. if there is a card doing not enought hashes i need only restart the miner by remote and to 98% the led will not light if the card is damages after the miner has restart.
I am interested in what kind of contact plugs connected LEDs?!


Mine on Linux, you'll never have to deal with dummy plugs.

But those LEDs look so cool!

I've updated bitcoind (and bitcoin-cli) to version 0.9.0!  It builds on Mavericks easily.

I'm still working on the --with-coinpunk flag.

Hi forrestv and all contributors of p2pool,

Many thanks to this fantastic mining pool. It's really fun to tuning p2pool to maximize miner's income for geeky users like me.

But I wonder if you have any plan to enable IPv6 support of p2pool?
Since official bitcoin client has IPv6 enabled by default, I think enabling IPv6 support will make p2pool network even more pervasive and well connected.
More importantly, IPv6 will help those users with both v4 & v6 network, but behind firewall or NAT in v4 network, just like me.
I do have a very good connectivity to v6 network and can accept income connections.
But v4 network is NATed with high latency, and I think that might be the source of my high orphan rate.

I have checked that twisted library used in p2pool support IPv6 network, at least partially.
I'm not familiar with python, so I don't know for sure.
I wonder if it is possible to enable IPv6 network in p2pool?

Thanks again to this great mining pool. :-)
I'm all for IPv6, but will adding IPv6 support be enough for you?  I think you will still likely need to talk to IPv4 peers for a while since I doubt everyone in the pool can make the switch.

And for usability, I think it should say "Fast use for Internet transactions."  I can hand you a paper wallet pretty quickly if we are next to each other Smiley

I don't know.  Getting a paper wallet from someone doesn't seem transacted until the coins are removed from it.  Who knows who else may have seen it or have a copy of it.  Until exclusive control of the coins it contains is established, is it a completed transaction?

That's reasonable.  Although it takes virtually no time to sweep a wallet, and then the transaction is completed.  The funds aren't in a paper wallet anymore, but the transaction is complete and it can be fast.  I still think this should say "Fast use for Internet transactions."

Also, what stops a USB Flash drive from being BIP 32?  Seems like it should be "possible"

I'm not quite sure your comparison chart is fair to paper wallets.

With split keys (Armory) or encrypted keys (BIP38) they should be at least a "possible" in a couple more categories.

I'd also say "Phishing protection" is "n/a" for paper wallets since you have "no" for transaction signing.

And why is BIP32 not listed under paper backup?  You have the Trezor listed as "yes" for BIP32 and "yes" for disaster recovery saying it uses a paper wallet, so it seems like BIP32 should be "possible" for paper wallet.

And for usability, I think it should say "Fast use for Internet transactions."  I can hand you a paper wallet pretty quickly if we are next to each other Smiley

That said, I'm super excited for my Trezor!

I stopped mining awhile ago, but I've left my p2pool node up.  It's averaged 36 peers in the last year and it's bitcoind node is well connected.  It has a high speed internet connection and has had excellent uptime.

Is a node like mine actually helpful for p2pool?  I'm assuming that having a well connected node is good for spreading transactions and protecting p2pool from some kind of network attack.  Am I right, or is a non-mining node not helpful? It's just a git pull and a restart ever now and then, so it's not much effort.

If a non-mining node is helpful, is there anything else I can do to make it more useful?  Maybe set the max connections to something a lot higher so the pool sees more transactions?  I'm just guessing.

I've updated the tap to install bitcoind 0.8.5.  It only works on mavericks if you install with `brew install wysenynja/bitcoin/bitcoind --HEAD`

I expect 0.8.6 to work with Mavericks without issue.

I can't manage to get bitcoind built on OSX 10.9 Sad  My tap (https://github.com/WyseNynja/homebrew-bitcoin) doesn't seem to be working anymore.

I've downloaded the official bitcoin-qt binary and am getting the blockchain with it now.

I'm testing out the .app now.  Awesome work!  I haven't had any time to play with Armory recently.  Hopefully bitcoind works for me without crashing and corrupting the block chain like it was last time I tried bitcoin on OSX.

Congrats. Love to see Armory live up to its full potential.
Grats!  I'm excited to see the project move forward like this.

Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits

Got word back from the university. Unfortunately, if a club wants to take donations it has to go through a web page on the university site. We can't have deposits going directly into the chapter's bank account.

Side note:

Quote
Legally, SSDP consists of two separate, distinct entities – Students for Sensible Drug Policy Foundation and Students for Sensible Drug Policy Inc. The former, as a 501(c)3 organization, engages in education and outreach. Donations to SSDP Foundation are tax-deductible. SSDP Inc, as a 501(c)4 organization, engages in advocacy, or attempts to effect change to law and policy. Accordingly, donations to SSDP Inc are not tax-deductible...

Hey everybody!

My girlfriend is the president of the Hastings Law Students for a Sensible Drug Policy.  SSDP is a national non-profit, but I don't think her school chapter is registered as one.  I'm not sure if that matters and she is clarifying with her school.  Any chance you know if chapters count?  They do have a bank account and she is verifying that donations to the club are okay.

If student clubs are allowed to take donations, I plan on opening either a bitinstant (I think they used to do 0 fee for non-profits, but they are offline ATM) or a coinbase account (only .99% and I've met Brian a few times in person).  Do you have any recommendations for another provider?  Coinbase still takes fees for non-profits.

I see on the bitcoin100 website that political groups aren't allowed, but this is more about bringing the topic of sensible drug policy into the public conversation, not about pushing one specific view, although ending prohibition is a stated goal.


Thanks!
