This is nice. Can you make a version with Asclepius rather than Caduceus?

Sure ... here a version with the rod of Asclepius:

How many Curecoins are there in existence and were can they draw this data from?

I already asked this here on page 75 AND in the official forum, but no dev replied Undecided
To quote myself:
"What would be the correct value (without minting)? I think: (Number of block * 13) + 541390 + (days since 10-May-2014 * 7488)"

(the 541390 was the IPO, the 7488 will be given to folders each day)

CureCoin added to coinmarketcap.com

Listed with only 22k coin supply? FAIL that block explorer is trash

Not accurate because it's not counting the amount investors were paid out.

What would be the correct value (without minting)?
I think: (Number of block * 13) + 541390 + (days since 10-May-2014 * 7488)

Correct?
Currently: 1732 * 13 + 541390 + 11 * 7488 = 646274 Curecoins
Market cap: 0,88$ * 646274 Curecoins = 568721,12$

Reading from the extremeoverclocking FAQ they say that the 24h avarage is calculated total points for last 7 days divided by seven. As Cryptobullion and extremeoverclocking numbers are almost identical I can assume that cryptobullion uses the same calculation. So you are actually getting paid for your last SEVEN DAYS avarage daily production not the last 24h production Undecided

This seems not to be the case.
My 24h average on extremeoverclocking is only 50% of my last 24h points on cryptobullionpools.

So I think you get paid for the real 24h. But the term "last 24h" on cryptobullionpools is a bit misleading, because there is a significant delay in proccessing the points (24-48h).

I liked the idea of gridcoin, but it was executed badly. My main cons were: unprofessional start, in the first months the dev doesn't care about cheating and the main problem: The (GRC boinc-)mining is bound to Scrypt, which means that you can get GRC only if you have also a decent Scrypt miner (and in times of Scrypt-ASICs, this will favour only a few people with money).

Nice to see that Curecoin went a much better way: The mining and folding are completely separated and the start was much more professional (except for the unfortunate investor phase which I'm still very unhappy with).

Thanks and please keep up the good work.

And to be clear, the only thing I did not like was that they would not take additional investment. Why not? And just take less Curecoin from the pre-mine instead? Anyhow, we'll see how it pans out. But I am sure I am not the only one feeling the same way.

I was also "a little" disappointed.
I watched the official curecoin-forum for weeks (several times a day!) to be instantly ready when the investor-phase starts.
But then the info was only published here in bitcointalk.org, so I missed the chance completely (I read the info some hours too late). Very annoying.

So: I'm still willing to buy 10k curecoin for 1BTC, too.

Re: [ANN] Technobit HEX16A2 - 16 chip Avalon Gen2 board

Another problem:

It seems that HEX miner is unable to connect via the normal "getwork"-method correctly.
I can connect to pools using the stratum proxy, but when using bitcoin-qt in server mode (on windows), HEX miner is unable to connect.
I tried some old GPU miners with exact the same credentials: This works.

So it seems that there is a bug in HEX miner when mining WITHOUT the stratum-proxy. Please check/fix this.

(btw, when enabling debug, I get: |E0005|Didn't find valid 'data' in Server Response)

In the screenshot I can see that the voltage is set to 1,15V.
I'm using the same HEX miner version (1.0.0.3) and I'm unable to set 1,15V for my HEX16A2 - the maximum I can set is 1,00V.
How can I set the desired voltage?

Ok, I was able to force a setting of more than 1,000V: I opened hexminer.ini and changed "1,000" to e.g. "1,100". This did the trick.

So here are first 3 full 16 chips boards + the test board with 10 chips

In the screenshot I can see that the voltage is set to 1,15V.

Re: Aktueller Stromverbrauch des Bitcoin-Netzwerks?

... alleine zur Sicherung der Blockchain (was immer das heißen soll)

naja, das Mining ist ja nicht der einzige Stromverbrauch, wenn man es ganz genau nehmen würde (Netzwerk-Datenverkehr, Energie-Verluste der Netzteile, Betrieb von Bitcoin-Börsen, Mining-Pools, geöffnete Clients, etc). Dieser Verbrauch ist ja schlecht bezifferbar.

Das "alleine" klang aber eventuell negativer, als es von mir gemeint war.

Vielen Dank für die Infos, dann geb ich das mal so weiter :-)
Ich hatte mich zuerst über die Zahlen auf blockchain.info gewundert, denn da sieht es so als, als kämen die auf 72 Gigawatt/h, was ja ein absoluter Wahnsinnsverbrauch wäre.

Aber was bedeutet das jetzt und was soll uns das überhaupt sagen?

Da kann sich jeder gerne seine eigene Meinung zu bilden. Mir ging es nur darum, korrekte Zahlen zu haben, bevor ich etwas weitergebe. Die (falschen) 72GW/h hatten mich halt extrem irritiert.

Und wenn man den Verbrauch in Relation zu Privathaushalten setzt, kann man sich wenigstens was drunter vorstellen.

Aktueller Stromverbrauch des Bitcoin-Netzwerks?
by
Swift42
on 27/11/2013, 10:40:10 UTC
Hallo,

ich wollte für einen Freund spaßeshalber ausrechnen, wieviel Strom das Bitcoin-Netzwerk aktuell verbraucht und ich frage mich, ob ich da irgendwo einen Rechenfehler drin habe..?

Laut
https://blockchain.info/stats
ist die Hashrate aktuell 4.635.524 GH/s.
Wenn wir mal davon ausgehen, dass alle energieeffiziente Miner einsetzen und 10W pro GH/s ansetzen (blockchain.info rechnet mit wahnsinnigen 650W pro GH/s und zudem anscheinend auf 24h, obwohl das beim Verbrauch meiner Meinung nach gar keinen Sinn ergibt), wären das
46.355.240 W bzw. Wh
also 46.355 kWh

Die durchschnittliche Haushaltsgröße in D ist 2.
Ein 2 Personen-Haushalt verbraucht in D ca. 3kWh (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedarf_an_elektrischer_Energie)
46.355 kWh / 3 kWh * 2 Personen = 30.903 Personen

D.h. man könnte sagen, das Bitcoin-Netzwerk verbraucht alleine zur Sicherung der Blockchain aktuell in etwa soviel Strom wie rund 30.000 Personen (~ eine Mittelstadt)? Und Tendenz wohl eher steigend, weil nicht davon auszugehen ist, dass in Kürze etwas SEHR VIEL besseres als ASICs entwickelt werden..?

Ist das mehr oder weniger korrekt, oder habe ich irgendwo einen groben Rechenfehler oder eine falsche Annahme gemacht?

Helper app for bitcoinity.org

Hi there,

I saw this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=337247.msg3621123#msg3621123

Because I cannot post on this forum, I'm writing it here:
I'm using bitcoinity.org too. Normally I open multiple browser windows and rearrange them to have a good overview.
But this is always a hassle. So I created this simple helper app some weeks ago ... maybe it is useful for someone else:
http://www.3d4x.ch/bcwatch/

Instead of using multiple browser windows, it displays the information on one page.
It will only display the trading list - the trading volume graph is hidden.
Just select the desired currency and the exchange from a selection.
Tested with IE10 and FF25, but it should work with all modern browsers.
