I am specifically asking at this forum hoping to obtain some dataset, related to blockchain in general.
I'm not after just any dataset, but one which would be related to blockchain, bitcoin, cryptocurrency, etc.

Hi,

I'm looking for bi modal data, so two peaks, not just one, ( or some mixture of those).

Like on that picture https://www.dropbox.com/s/qd2ulio7ejnkfns/bimodal_distr.png?dl=0


It could be anything. Please help.

Thank you!

Hi,

What is Crypto-currency equivalent of Derivatives & Structured Products?

I'm not just asking for a list of derivatives on bitcoin, etc.
As a client, would I approach a big banking institution which also provides a new crypto currency services,
or is there a new way of doing what used to be done by investment banking sector?

Thanks,

Loyalty Points Cryptocurrency Industry Standards

Hi,

I want to issue loyality points for a business. Cool
This is health-consultancy-business, typicaly by appointment, but also some items are being sold on ebay.

I would like to:
1. give away "points" in form of a crypto currency to customer for given appointment, for example, they paid me $50 for consultancy, so I'm giving them 5 points of my binsk-coin
2. give away "points" for each purchase in on my ebay shop
3. they can use these point to buy services and items


I was thinking initialy about creating my own alt-coin, however, if it is based on proof-of-work and I let others to mine it, I may run into trouble if there mine too many coins...?
unless I will keep changing price of the service... Tongue

Otherwise I could create some other tokens, maybe based on Counterparty? Huh

Just started to think about this, what do you guys think?

Cheers!

what command line should I use?

but I'm getting

neither I could do MCN on it's own

same error


PLEASE HELP






Cut out
stratum+tcp://  [They do need stratum support though]
and use the email address you signed up with and not actual address.


Thanks, but it didn't help Sad

I just tried this:

ccminer -o qcn.pool.minergate.com:5557 -u my_email_at_gmail.com -p x

and program starts allocating threads, and then crashes..  Huh

Hi,

Can someone help me getting historical daily prices (eg. close) for MN2 mining contract from Cryptsy?
I know there's a chart, but I don't know how to extract data from it.  Huh

Thanks!  Smiley

How can I mine same time on CPU and GPUs?

I'd suggest you run the CPU mining with -t 3, to use just 3 cores, leaving one free for GPU miner duties (relevant if that CPU coin miner is already optimized for AES-NI). In any case, you can play with the number of threads for CPU mining all the way up to 7, just not the default (which uses all 8 threads).

I usually go into the task manager details and set the affinity of the GPU miner to be on my 1st core/thread (or the 1st two), and set the affinity of the CPU miner to the other ones, thus isolating one from the other.

(if you're not using windows, please ignore  Cool)
~ Myagui

This makes me think that ccminer just has difficulties with cross-threading on the cpu. If work A is on core 0 and work B is on core 1, but you're also CPU-mining on those cores, ccminer will have to pause a bit, and he doesn't like that Tongue
Also, Intel knows how to deal with threads, so this might be why a Celeron is a winner for ccminer.
So yeah, try setting affinity to lock the processes on cores.
Please report back if that did or didn't do it Cheesy

If it did it, it's something I will implement in my ccminer gui. Should you set the affinity per ccminer, like ccminer30 on core0, ccminer50 on core1, etc... or does it matter at all? I see no real difference when I put them in one thread on my system (i5-3470)
But before you ask, I won't do a gui for minerd Tongue

Thanks, this helped me!

I have 8 logical threads on CPU - I've set 4 to CPU miner and another 4 to GPU miners - works fine Smiley

However, when I tried to assign only 2 logical threads to GPUs then I was loosing hashrates, 10% drop. I think it might be related to fact that I have 2 GPU cards, hence 1 physical core per 1 GPU card (i7-4770k has 4 physical cores and 8 logical)

Hi,

I'm trying to mine Darkcoin on GPUs and Quazarcoin on CPU - please help   Undecided

I have

CPU i7-4470k
and two GPU cards nVidia 750 Ti

When I run the ccminer50 I get around 3.1MH for GPU both cards, for Darkcoin at pool,

then when I run minerd for Quazarcoin, which is CPU only, it runs ok, but
the mining of ccminer50 (Darkcoin, GPUs) drop down to very low numbers  Sad

Is it because ccminer still uses CPU? On performance monitor the CPU usage is not bigger than 15% - ?

Also, I tried to run minerd (Quazar, CPU only) with only 2 logical threads, it does not help at all.

How can I mine same time on CPU and GPUs?

Re: Silkroad seized bitcoins to impact price?

Buying them cheap(er) is not a bad idea...right... Wink


So, the logic would be: 30k will be bought cheaper on the private auction, then sold on the public exchange for higher price, resulting in lowering the price?

Is there any explanation/guide on internet how selling of 30k would impact the price - I mean some basic calcs?

Hi,

I tried in trading section but it seems I should have asked here.

It is claimed briefly in this Bloomberg note that this morning price fell because of USGov selling seized bitcoins from Silkroad - but why would price fell 10% because of this announcement - what's logic applies? huh

"The U.S. government plans to start selling one of the largest caches of bitcoins, which it seized from the Silk Road marketplace used for buying and selling drugs. The virtual currency’s price fell."

The total represents about eight days worth of mined coins, so it shouldn't change things too much.


Could you please elaborate more on that, or send me a related link where I could learn about this conclusion?

Hi,

Correct me if there's a post on it.

I woke up this morning in Sydney and I see price dumped. Could not figure it out why? But then:

"The U.S. government plans to start selling one of the largest caches of bitcoins, which it seized from the Silk Road marketplace used for buying and selling drugs. The virtual currency’s price fell."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-06-12/bitcoins-seized-from-silk-road-to-be-auctioned.html

Why would be so?  Huh
