For all having issues with rejects -

-- Keep intensity below 19, try 18 (on -g 1 configs).

-- Insert -E 10 -s 5 -Q 0 settings into your config(s).

I have always ran my r9 290 miners at -I 20 and seen little issues on other profit switching pools. However I'm getting >10% rejects on clevermining.

Can you explain why -I 18 is supposedly better in this case even though it appears to result in less WU and hashrate?

Site seems great. Smooth, intuitive, minimalistic, giving it a try now.

It'd be nice if you could label the x-axis (time) on your profit graphs. It's somewhat important to see what day got what return rate.

Thanks.

Screw off mate. Do you really think anyone has time for that shit? There are so many easier ways to do it this just annoys the hell out of me.

There should be a button to force people back to the newbie area.

Why? Because I don't prefer some overly complicated and totally impractical method of "securing" my bitcoin wallets? Is this how you're going to spread bitcoin acceptance? Offering round about solutions to simple problems with much more secure and practical alternatives? Yes yes, I know how to make encrypted partitions, run virtual machines, etc but you're tricking yourself into a false sense of security and spreading bad information if you think these approaches offer extra protection.

Stop. The only newb here is you and anyone who propagates that tinfoil hat nonsense. God forbid an actual newb reads that post and thinks that's the right way to secure his bitcoins.

You clearly aren't familiar with reddit memes. They're not at all making fun of any cryptocurrency instead they're making a currency founded by redditors the only way they know how: with a meme.

With that being said.

Wow. Such profit. Many serious. So currency. Pls mine.

That is the purpose of a meme, to make fun of, so for all intent and purposes they are making fun of Bitcoin and profiting off it.

Dodecoin is doing nothing but trolling Bitcoin, and that is fact.

Heh, yeah... No.

The doge meme has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies and isn't particularly used to make fun of things. This would be obvious if you even knew what it was.

Thanks for confirming your troll status though.

3/10

However, if a group of redditors ever did decide to make a troll currency I guarantee you they'd name it CircleJerk coin and it's forum would be here.

So lets narrow those vectors down to:
BTCE (10+ months old account)
HAVELOCK (6+ months old, most likely older)
CEX.IO (6+ months old, mst likely older)
BIT-MINING.CO (week old)


Ok nice list. Make sure you're 100% certain those are the only places you used your password.

i use my phone for all of this

How often do you use wifi and where? Wifi connections, especially public ones are basically a hunting ground for anyone who has basic hacking knowledge. I myself, on a test trail, have stolen people's email passwords and hijacked sessions in public places like the airport, mall, universities, anywhere is unsafe. (Mind you I did this to test common wifi security vulnerabilities as a part of a project, I never did anything with the data collected other then verify that it could be used to access restricted accounts).

As far as I know 3G broadband is safe.

This is the best part:

"The question is do we even participate [with] people who facilitate bitcoin".

I like how he pretends like it's his decision to make and like they have a fucking choice on the matter. Please JPMorgan. Please try and ban bitcoin users from using your services. I would absolutely love to see you try.

for anyone else concerned about losing their money I highly recommend the following free way to secure your wallet.

1) Install True Crypt on your PC/laptop and create an encrypted volume that is only mounted manually.
2) Install Virtual Box.
3) Create A Linux virtual machine inside the encrypted volume using a clean install of a popular distro (xubuntu etc)   (I tried ubuntu but its a bitch to get working with Virtual box)
4) Install Armoury, Bitcoin Client, Litecoin etc into the linux virtual machine (whatever trusted wallets you want)
5) Create your encrypted/password protected armory, litecoin and other wallets inside the virtual machine.
6) do not use the virtual machine for anything other than Sending and receiving crypto transactions, do not install anything other than the bare essential tools you need and do not surf the internet with it.

from inside the virtual machine you should also be able to create a paper wallet for cold storage.

NOTE: you will need about 80gb of space if you want to store the entire bitcoin and litecoin blockchains inside a virtual machine.
when you are not using the virtual machine you can pause it (remembering to always Pause when the screen is locked) and dismount the encrypted volume.

if you want to back up all your money all you need to do is copy the encrypted volume to another PC or external HD and  locate the backup far away from your PC (failsafe incase of fire/robbery etc)

this is the most secure way that I have found to protect your Coins while keeping them fairly accessible and safely backed up.

all the tools above are FREE. it only takes your time to learn how to use them properly.

and if you think its too much effort.. I would suggest that its probably not too much effort to secure a few thousand dollars worth of BTC which could be worth 10X that in the coming years.


Screw off mate. Do you really think anyone has time for that shit? There are so many easier ways to do it this just annoys the hell out of me.

Because your transaction size was more than 2kb, and it costs 0.0001 / kb rounded up that would be 0.0003 BTC

Your transaction was probably composed of many different inputs.

I figured this was the problem. So inputs accumulate on an address until that address makes a "send" to another address then certain inputs are considered "spent" based on how much I've sent?

How am I supposed to avoid these fees anyway? One of bitcoin's strongest and most advertised features is it's ability to have a secure transaction network with low fees.

I mean all of my inputs are generally >= 0.01 BTC.

There's a good chance the exchange itself could have been compromised or another service you subscribe to. Usually it's pretty easy to tell if your gmail was compromised because of the extensive logging and security tools they have in place. Plus you had 2fa.

Seems really unlikely that a hacker would be able to specifically target your computer after knowing your involvement with BTC so we can rule out a targeted "blackbox" attack. We can also rule out session hijacking (stealing cookies) as he was able to get your password to other exchanges. You say you keep your system secure and updated so it's unlikely you were caught by a trojan or botnet.

You need to catalog ALL places where you have used that username/email and password combo and try to determine if one of those sites/services were compromised because that sounds like the most likely attack vector. Could be as simple as someone hacking a forum that you frequent, cracking your password, then trying it out to see what they can access.

Why did I have to pay about ~$0.25 or ~0.28% to send money from one address to another? That seems insanely high considering my bank would only charge me $0.15 to deposit the USD equivalent of that amount of BTC to my account. Not to mention the transaction still will take about an hour to confirm sufficiently.

Bitcoin keeps advertising itself as a low fee transaction network and yet I'm stuck paying those kinds of fees? Multibit alone doesn't allow custom tx fees, but say I sent it with 0.0001 tx fee instead of 0.0003, how much longer could I expect to wait for the transaction to be accepted?

Here's the transaction on the block chain: https://blockchain.info/tx/d2b674248fb3350ff6dcff1a5ddc3caabe6f8adfc40a5d87866a5e1ed67e956b

This bot seems interesting however I'm not inclined to take a pretty interface as proof that this bot can do well. Nearly every bot I've seen so far tends to lose money more than it makes it.

Can anyone attest to this bot's efficiency? What where your gains?

Also, it'd be awesome if you could have your bot run on a simulated previous market for both fine tuning and crash testing. Otherwise I'm taking a lot more gambles than I'd like.

Two questions about how bitcoin processes transactions and the block chain.
by
Slight0
on 31/10/2013, 01:45:12 UTC
I originally came to know bitcoin in 2011, did some basic mining, and eventually deemed it not worth my time and thought of it as a sort of internet fad. I now realize I was really just sowing the seeds of regret. Anyway, I did some more research into the technical aspects (though I didn't read the author's full papers) and was hoping someone could clear up some things.

For one, if transactions are processed and confirmed in new blocks that are mined, then what happens when new blocks become scare and are mined very slowly at the rate of say 1 block per day for the whole network? Bitcoins are finite so doesn't that mean that new blocks are finite and thus new transactions will be slowed to a craw? I feel like I'm mistaken here, so what will really happen to the way miners process transactions when bitcoins/new blocks become scarce?

Secondly, if every node has to download the entire block chain which is a history of all transactions, won't the block chain quickly become extremely large and force normal PC's out of the network due to hardware requirements?

Thanks for any info.
