Re: [ANN][FAI]ΦFree Anonymous Internet --Decentralized Blog, Messenger,Market,Dapps
As someone asked earlier, isn't the blockchain going to be enormous if FAI becomes popular? Is there at least some concept for how to deal with this, or is the price of posting going to rise enough to discourage casual use?
Re: [XDN] DigitalNote - private money and messages transfer, №1 blockchain bank
About DigitalNote crypto messages:
3. Message is encrypted with recipient`s private key (tracking key as an option in next XDN messages version). Even the sender can`t decrypt it. He can remember, but not decrypt.
Isn't the message encrypted with recipient's public key, so s/he can decrypt it with the corresponding private key?

Re: CGWatcher 1.3.3, the GUI/monitor for CGMiner and BFGMiner to prevent downtime
I want to use CGWatcher, but I find that I get a much lower hashrate when I start cgminer from CGWatcher than from a batch file.
Example batch file:
ECHO This is "GPU mining.bat".
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --config mdl.conf
pause
exit
===============
Example config file = mdl.conf:

"pools" : [

"user" : "redacted",

}
============
(The same problem also happens with a different config using a single pool.)
I am using cgminer v. 3.6.6, CGWatcher 1.3.3.2, Windows 7 Pro 64 bit SP 1. When cgminer is already running and I start up CGWatcher, it monitors okay and does not affect the hash rate. When starting from the batch file, both cgminer and CGWatcher report a hash rate around 560 Kh/s. When starting or restarting from CGWatcher, I usually get 5 to 20 Kh/s, although once I got in the 450 range.
I hate to report the same problem someone else did, but in a comment at http://manotechnology.blogspot.com/p/cgwatcher.html, Tomá Bräuer on August 14, 2013, reported his rate dropping from around 800 Kh/s to 620 Kh/s under the same circumstances. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't load the next page of comments from that website to see what he was told.
One oddity is that when monitoring, CGWatcher reports:
[12/9/2013 4:35:05 PM] -- Begin CGWatcher v1.3.3.2 Process -------------------------------------------------------
[12/9/2013 4:35:09 PM] Running miner detected: CGMiner using "NEW Fastcoin" profile.

[12/9/2013 4:35:09 PM] CGMiner instance found.
[12/9/2013 4:35:09 PM] The current running miner's profile is "NEW Fastcoin".
[12/9/2013 4:35:10 PM] Monitoring is turned on at 30 second intervals.
====================
. . . and "NEW Fastcoin" profile points to a different pool than the one cgminer is using.
After collecting the log above, I paused and then resumed mining and it came up with the Fastcoin config, running at a 10 Kh/s rate. I then checked the "Show debug log entries" box, paused and restarted cgminer, and the new rate is about 430 Kh/s (vs over 500 when starting from the batch file).
The whole log now reads as follows:

2013-12-05 - Video - Bitcoin should be of interest to traditional investors
[http://portphillippublishing.com.au/2013/12/bitcoin-world-war-d/][/http://portphillippublishing.com.au/2013/12/bitcoin-world-war-d/]
The interviewee refers to the Bitcoin bubble and says
This is a 20-minute video interview between the author of an Australia-based investment newsletter (Doug Denning) and a guy who writes on tech issues for investors ( Sam Volkering). Volkering's level of tech sophistication is above the mainstream media but well below the level on this board. On the other hand, he has a good understanding of traditional investments and markets IMHO. He comments that price volatility undermines BTC's use as a currency because it's a poor store of value. He thinks that long-term, the best thing for Bitcoin's future would be a crash from present exchange rates, leading to price stability.
The interview is designed to pique conventional investors' interest in attending a conference in Australia being promoted by Denning and his newsletter publisher.
