I am sure Shinichi Mochizuki is not Satoshi because someone with such horrendous design sense could not possibly have created bitcoin  Smiley

Re: A $15m computer that uses "quantum physics" effects to boost its speed

This blog post by Scott Aaronson makes a convincing argument that the claims for the D-Wave are almost entirely media hype. It is not even faster than a classical computer at solving the one problem it was designed to solve.

For the LTC miners, are you going solo or in a pool?

Pool - ltcmine.ru is pretty good.

Do you feel its more profitable to mine LTC at this point?

There is a convenient mining calculator at http://dustcoin.com/mining that compares the profitability of BTC and the major alt currencies using cost of power, hash rates, current difficulty levels and exchange rates.  LTC and BTC seem pretty close right now for the Gigabyte 7870.

I am seeing about 410kH/s with the same card.
Flags are: --scrypt --thread-concurrency 14208  --intensity 18
All other parameters use default values.
The system is running Fedora 18 with 4GB memory.
cgminer 2.11.4

Tried these settings with litecoins, and besides having to tweak the thread concurrency down to 8000 to get cgminer to start, I'm getting right around 400 on each card! Thanks!

After sending that reply I updated to cgminer 3.1 and also found it necessary reduce thread concurrency to run.  I couldn't find suitable values to get back to 410kH/s, so for now have reverted to 2.11.4.

Any ideas how to increase my hash rate mining BTCs?

Thanks again for the input so far!

Glad to be of help. Sorry, it has been a while and I no longer have the settings I used for bitcoin. I think I was getting around 440MH/s with very minimal tweaking.

400 each is what I thought... But for some reason I can't get mine to run over 305/310... I'm using cgminer 3.1 on xubuntu... The actual cards are Gigabyte HD7870 1100 Overclock 2GB RAM... I've tried messing around a bit with the parameters, but not getting very far. The cards run faster doing litecoins... About 350KH/s.

Re: [ANN] X-BT.COM, a new marketplace for trading bitcoins with altcoins

The certificate has indeed been signed by StartCom (ordered at https://startssl.com/ and signed by their Class 1 Intermediate certificate).

I'm not sure why you get these warnings. Anyway i plan to purchase a more recognized certificate in the near future.

StartCom CA is in the OS X system keychain (latest release of OS X). Chrome is not at fault because Safari has the same error.  Works fine on iOS and Linux though. Curious.


Indeed, I made some adjustments to the certificate bundle appended to the server one. Do you mind checking again ?

It is working fine now.

Nice to have another exchange, but it doesn't fill one with confidence in your security measures to see something so basic as SSL isn't enabled by default, and if it is forced then the layout on the registration page breaks.

With Chrome on OS X:

Self signed?

Checking the certificate info after proceeding, it says the certificate was signed by an unknown authority, StartCom.

I am unable to set my email address. There error message is "The form is not filled correctly."
Could it be because you are not allowing addresses with a "+" character in the user name?


I use this regexp:

Code:
^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$

for email address sanity checking.

Yeah, that won't allow valid addresses like george+jetson@gmail.com.
There's a good Stackoverflow question about validating e-mail with regex:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/201323/using-a-regular-expression-to-validate-an-email-address

Anyway, no problem. I can work around it. Thanks.

yep, finished again and no payout or credit to account.

Same here.

Ya I think it had to do with setting it to 10, so we are back at 120 and will see what happens

20 seems a nice number Smiley (based on my limited experience with a couple of similar PPLNS pools).

after we finished processing the next block, it looks to have paid everything it should have. please check for me. 

nobody said we wouldnt have a few bumps, thats why this is "beta" Cheesy

Seems ok now, thanks. The amount paid was less than half the amount estimated for the round, which makes me wonder if it was calculated correctly. It is still within normal range for my hash rate in a larger pool though, so I'm not complaining.

I can reset your code, if you wish. And you will be able to try barcode scanning again with the new code. Roll Eyes

I was going to offer, but looks like someone else succeeded already.  Glad to do it if you need another test.

Hm, that's strange. I have no problem with barcode scan using Android version, maybe it's IOS version specific issue?

We need more reports from IPhone users. Roll Eyes

Same problem here with barcode scanning using Google Authenticator on iOS.
The error message looks something like this:

Invalid Barcode
'otpauth://totp/LTCMine.ru mining pool?

Re: +400 KH/s mining ltc, wtf
by
algorithmic
on 26/04/2013, 04:15:39 UTC
edit: In the subject you mean "+400 MH/s mining ltc" I think.

With a hash rate that high I wonder why anyone would bother using a pool.

Hypothesis:

  • It's a former Bitcoin GPU miner with more than 500 7970s.
  • Someone figured out how to mine LTC effectively with an FPGA or ASIC.
  • It's a botnet.

I'd guess botnet. Especially so since the hash rate fluctuates throughout the day.  It's only about 294MH/s now.

hmm, the blockchain app is in the app store in australia.

That's the crippled version. They removed the wallet functionality to get it accepted.
