As for what's good for Bitcoin; I'd say Bitcoin scammers behind bars. That would be excellent in deterring future scams.

That seems like a stupid idea. Not only would it not deter others from scamming (they'd just need to avoid publishing their details to scam without risk), you'd actually deter others who made stupid mistakes like this one from coming forward and attempting to fix their mistakes.

Now apply your reasoning to non-Bitcoin crimes, like burglary.

OK. Burgling someplace without leaving a (usable) trace is pretty risk free (albeit more difficult than stealing bitcoins) - others getting jailed for burgling won't deter a good enough burglar. If, OTOH, a burglar admits to his misdeeds and tries to fix them, throwing them in jail won't be an incentive for others to follow their example and come forward and fix anything.

That easy enough for you to understand?

In case of "I will decide later/ I have another idea" automatically lose my btc?

They stated they would then contact you and try to work something out individually. However, if you would choose to go the official way of liquidation, you'd pretty much instantly lose everything. Read the previous two pages for more detail.

I'm trying to get my namecoin balance above the payout threshold, however, while the bitcoin balance keeps rising, my namecoin balance is unaffected (the "24 Hour Earnings" field is rising, though). In case that matters, I've switched to mergedmining.btcguild.com for the time being.

Do you think you could look into this?

Latest cgminer from git doesn't seem to want to do long polling in conjunction with p2pool any more. Pastebin link to log: http://pastebin.com/g3A3z1hb (note line 46, where the long polling URL is sent)

After reverting to 2.8.7 (git checkout v2.8.7), long polling works again.

ckolivas, currently, AVG 2012 Free Edition Antivirus saying that file:
libpdcurses.dll
contains a virus: PSW.KeyLogger.AVU http://www.avgthreatlabs.com/webthreats/info/psw.keylogger.avu/

Weird, isn't?

http://goo.gl/2wnwi

I've read it. It's all saying about cgminer.exe used with many malware, but not libpdcurses.dll.

Search the thread for libpdcurses.dll - it's been covered ad nauseam...

Installing a special compression software for no purpose, is a waste of time. While I appreciate your efforts, I don't owe you anything.

Nor does he owe you anything...
Seriously, if you're so hung up about the compression format, don't use cgminer.

Here's a zip copy. So no need to install 7z on every mining rig.
http://www.fileserve.com/file/9S2RQxa/cgminer-2.7.6-win32.zip

I'd argue that you'd still have to install 7z or some program that can deal properly with zip files. While I haven't tried Vista's and 7's implementation, at least XP's was pretty broken. (Stuff like random error messages for proper zip files or files in an archive being silently ignored.)
I have a friend who stopped supporting people who used windows' zip to extract his program because he knew that'd fail. So, please, if you want to continue using that POS, go ahead, but do stop spamming this thread about it... Sad

Nice to see that poclbm and cgminer have native support.

What?  cgminer supports stratum now?

It doesn't, I think allinvain misread this:

poclbm now has native support, and cgminer is adding native support soon.

On the https://www.btcguild.com/stratum_beta.php page, I just noticed the difficulty of each new row increasing by 1 and the PPS rate column changing accordingly - did I miss something about how difficulty works?

Since the stratum beta isn't expected to last long, I've been keeping it simple.

All right then - just as long as you're aware of it... Smiley

Well, on 15 August 2012 I made a purchase of 10 BTC, I transferred 98 EUR to the seller, but then the transaction was suddenly having the status "cancelled"

That doesn't just happen. The seller will have to press a cancel button, which causes an email to be sent to you. Then, IIRC, there is a minimum of 3 days wait until the cancellation is accepted.
At the very least, you must have ignored the cancel message you got - that, or your mail provider failed to deliver it.

I can't geht cgminer work with btcguild.

I use as url http://de.btcguild.com:8332/
username: myusername_workername
password:

password nothing just pressed enter.

what is the problem? i tried several combinations.

You could try entering any old password. Here's my cgminer config as an example:
Code:
{
        "pools" : [
                {
                        "url"  : "http://de.btcguild.com:8332",
                        "user" : "ancow_other",
                        "pass" : "asdfghj"
                }

Automatic NMC payouts can now be set for for amounts less than 1.  It follows the same rules as BTC automatic payouts: Payment thresholds must be multiples of 0.10.

The text on https://www.btcguild.com/change_auto_payout_nmc.php still says:

Amounts must be multiples of 1 NMC.

Setting to 0.1 works, though.

Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overclock monitor fanspeed RPC linux/windows/osx/mip/r-pi 2.7.0
by

I shortened my list from 4 to 2 so now it's abcpool and btcguild and made abcpool the primary.  I seem to be mining on both roughly equally.
I switched the pools so that btcguild is primary and re-ran.  Same result: roughly equal mining on both pools.

On my setup (debian testing, cgminer compiled from git) my primary pool gets ~9/10 shares and the rest are distributed among the backup pools. This is while the heat is making the router I'm connected to act up, so the network is in generally bad shape from my point of view. IOW, even though some of the getworks get dropped, only about 10% of the shares go to backup pools.
It might be a good idea to investigate whether your setup isn't somehow problematic...

You should probably search the thread on the difference between simple failover and --failover-only; I'll just quickly mention that simple failover gets work from backup pools when the queue runs low where --failover-only only gets work from backup pools when the primary pool fails. This means that --failover-only will probably stop mining for a short time when your primary pool goes down.

Right off I noticed 2.7.0 is mining on my backup pools even though I'm using failover.  Version 2.6.5 says pool 0 (my primary) is online and it stays on it.  Version 2.7.0 seems to mine all the pools in my list in spite of my pool management strategy being failover.

Did you specify the --failover-only flag (or set that option some other way)? Default failover leaks work to backup pools and is supposed to.
