Back to cryptoworld very soon.
The forum seems unfamiliar for me.
I try to find a new start to get me invovled in the cryptoworld again.
But it's hard.
The Communitycoin provided me a chance to experience.  
Also, I think the new things COMM included are encouraged.
I'd like to apply and get invovled.
It's my honor to do the promotion following your all guys.

Hi!

I Got my stake - now I confirm that COMM is 100% fair coin with wide distribution. Respect to dev!

Here is what I've done:
1. I've update my forum signature with link to COMM thread.
2. I wrote to crycurex.com exchange this message :

Hi!

While observing behavior of new exchanges I see 2 strategies: one successful and other is not.

1. The succsessful one is when new exchanges add new coins, which are not traded anywhere else. If somebody wanna to buy this new coin, he needs to create account exactly on this new exchange and it gives the new exchange the chance.

2. The unsuccsessful strategy is to add only well known coins which are already traded on cryptsy or BTER. But if user already can buy well known coin on cryptsy or BTER, why the hell he would register on new exchange? This strategy is stupid.

Now, after saying this, I'm suggesting you to add COMM coin to your exchange https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=529481.0
It's 100% PoS coin, not simply copy-paste 5 min fork. And it's not traded anywhere.
Congratulations to you. I want to see more about it. And I'm not sure if a old guy like me can get some love.
The idea of free and fair distribution is fantasitic. I will pay my attention on it.

Bumped my hash rate from about 428 to 431 (3 MHash/s or 0.0696%), although previously I was using a customized kernel that has some of the same changes you've made so this increase is not representative.

Edit: XFX 5870 @ 950/315

Can somebody upload a version of the kernel we can extract natively in windows without downloading yet another compression/decompression app?

TIA

edit:  Online decompression:  wobzip.org

Seriously just get 7-zip and remove the rest, its free, open source and its default format .7z is probably the most effective lossless compression format commonly used.

Re: 3% faster mining with phoenix+phatk, diablo, or poclbm for everyone

On normal Radeons at stock clocks and voltages, and are not overheating, have a known error rate (which is something like 1 error per several hundred million instructions)

One error per several hundred million instructions... where are you getting that information from? (an honest question, I'd like to learn more)

A 58xx series, from information I can find, can do between one and four instructions per clock.  If it is clocked at 775000000 cycles per second (775 MHz), that's up to 3.1 billion instructions per second.  So according to your information there would be many errors per second.

I think I meant 1 per several hundred billion. Its in the chip specification somewhere, ask AMD.

Quote
a silicon chip is not supposed to have errors, and will only occur if: incorrect voltage, incorrect temperature range, the silicon chip itself is faulty, something extremely rare such as a cosmic ray bouncing off and [in the case of RAM] 'flipping a bit' perhaps once every few weeks

Bzzt, wrong. GPU hardware does not use the same manufacturing process CPU hardware typically does. GPUs are not mission critical hardware, and rare calculation errors are considered acceptable.

You are correct about "incorrect" voltage, however you assume that it is incorrect at all. The professional versions of these cards run at lower clock rates and lower voltages to reduce the error rate. Consumer cards are not ran at incorrect settings, they are merely ran at settings that lead to acceptable levels of errors.

This is shown up quite well if you run something like Folding or Seti on your GPU, you will notice a lot more invalid work showing up than you do using the CPU variant and has far as I am aware work for these two does not expire within any reasonable length of time unlike bitcoin so these are actually invalid results and not just "stale".

My 5870 (950/315) went from 418 -> 428 Mhash an increase of 10 Mhash or about 2.5%.

Re: Is there a way to track how many people use Bitcoin?

The IRC channels? That doesn't seem an accurate way at all, I know I've never used them. I know there is a way to look at the number of bitcoin nodes. Which would give you the number of machines running a bitcoin client at this moment. Double or triple that and you would have an order of magnitude guess.

I think you might have the wrong idea of IRC there, basically there exist 100 channels on freenode(?) named something like #bitcoin-(1-99) or something like that; when you start your bitcoin client it joins one of these channels at random and collects a list of initial peers for it connect to - this process is known as Bootstrapping. Once it has this initial list is doesn't necessarily need to talk to IRC again since it can then fetch new peers via its peers and so and and so forth, the slight downside to collecting the stats like this is that you can disable IRC bootstrapping in the bitcoin.conf and either enable a static DNS bootstrap (aka fetch a list of peers from a predetermined address) or simply manually add nodes/connect directly to someone.

Edit: To more accurately answer the OP if you wanted to only find a list of addresses that contained at least some currency or have had some kind of transactions in the last x days this could be done by analysis of the block chain, blockexplorer would probably be a good place to start.

The most accurate way I can think of off the top of my head would be to monitor the bootstrapping IRC channels for unique IP addresses over a given period - this wouldn't be 100% accurate however.

By any chance has the difficulty risen over the past day or two?

Also, I've noticed that either we're solving less blocks proportionately to the pools Compute power, or something... seems the payouts are smaller per day (yeah I know, its a crummy way of thinking about it... but it seems that either difficulty went up, or we've been less lucky or something.

Any ideas?


Oh and I added another 300MH/s to the pool. Smiley my other 6950 arrived... and i just 'borrowed' a new box in for it, as i can't order a new power supply till the weekend is over. (Mine only has 3 PCIE cables... a 600w Silverstone Strider)

Yeah difficulty went up 2 days ago from about 500k to 876,954.493514

Some miners reports shares as blocks.
That is not correct. You solved 10 shares, not blocks.

--
Regards, Jim

Iam using the newest poclbm miner.
So what does it say when a full block is done?

Possible when LP pushed a new block through, LP is pushes when the "network" solves a block, so about every 10 minutes, where as bitcoins.lc will solve a block every couple of hours right now.

If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

I am getting 20% rejected at this point. It fluctuates for unknown reasons. Sometimes it's fine, others it's terrible.

Try playing with your AGRESSION.  I'm sorry but it's likely an issue with your local setup rather than bitcoins.lc - I get consistent sub 1% rejection rates from the pool.  You could try asking for more help in the mining support forum.

Good luck!

Will

Just wondering - can overclocking a card too much increase rejection rates?

If the card is overclocked to the point of being unstable then yes, since it will generate a hash it thinks is correct but if it makes an error it will turn rejected since the proof of work will fail.

I have noticed that almost every time new work is pushed I get at least 1 and sometimes 2 rejected shares.  Over the last hour or so, I am getting two rejected shares every single time phoenix outputs "LP: New work pushed".

Also, that is literally the only time I get rejected shares.

Thats normal, your miner is in the middle of a getwork when the LP comes in and sometimes you will find a share at or around the same time as the LP, causing you to submit it and it becomes stale. The lower your latency to the pool the less of these forms of stales you will get (and to a greater extent the better peered the bitcoind is behind the pool).

For some reason I'm still getting about 7% rejected shares. If everyone else has about 1% I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.
What miner are you using, and what's your approx location?

This sounds like an issue with your Long Polling support, are you running an older miner that doesn't support it, or a version of Phoenix that isn't 1.48+ (they had a serious LP issue)?

my stale rate has increased a bit overnight - was less than 1% soon after the pushpoold fix, now it's nearer 4%... anything I should be concerned about?

Jine has been doing some work on the database which may be the cause of this, but the work is needed to allow the database to scale properly into the future.
