Hey Thiago, thanks for the guide, everything s working great. I earned my first LTC some time ago.
However, I have an issue.. maybe you can explain it to me.

I had helped share with my own wallet address, and I used the command:

litecoind sendmany "" "$(GET http://192.168.0.1:9327/patron_sendmany/0.2)"

(I probably should of used 0.002, but never mind that)

It's only $2 that I just sent out really, no biggy on any loses to test the command, however:


8 out of 10 "transactions" have a null address, but I still lost all that money, does it go into space/null/void, or does it float back to my wallet, like bouncing off a wall?
My own wallet isn't in this list, as I probably didn't use a low enough number, that was my own negligence. Or is this litecoind specific where these are things that get sent out to make a transaction?

Nevermind "" is my local server.. why it doesn't have an address, I don't know, using getnewaddress I can see a wallet address though. Weird, somewhat confusing, but the best solution is to see it as I sent money to the helpers + my local, but my desktop(with an address) didn't help enough to get anything with the number I put.

Hey Bitcointalk Moderators. I see a lot of requests here for being allowed in, it seems like such a long process to get into a forum, almost nowhere I know of has this much of a filtering system.
But then again, none are usually this size. You ask to prove that I'm not an average noob, with evidence. Well an average noob can't even get a pool server running, or a miner working without help, which I have. I have never asked for help regarding software or daemons, I just read, read, and read, and try, try, try, until it works. If it doesn't, I either move on or try something else. Usually I do not ask support for software, unless I'm asking about a feature that isn't documented. When I use programs, if I fail initially I read the README.txt or INSTALL.txt before ever asking questions, period.

Been a linux user since I was 14 years old, Remember Knoppix? I mean the original Knoppix. Tried NetBSD and FreeBSD back then too. Over the years I've become a guru in building computers. I also learned PHP scripting/programming when I was 17, now I'm a freelance web developer for some pretty popular websites.

I know networking in both Windows and Linux, Cisco and Microsoft level, not certified, but I know it.

Back when I was 15 or 16 I started divulging into more open source software, IRCds(Like UnrealIRCd, ratbox, some others I can't remember right now), and MMORPG game servers that were made using reverse engineering.

I've dipped into some C, C++, and C#, Perl and Python over the years. I worked temporarily for a company Acclaim Games one summer as a teen(Internship), so I have some knowledge of the gaming industry, I also helped provide support to a community professionally with their games.

I've followed numerous product development projects, either IRCd, mmo servers, websites, games, you name it. I've had my hand in almost everything, the internet was my cookie jar as a child.

Right now I operate a company in Canada building and repairing computers and providing website design and development services on the side as well as my freelance online.

Despite all this knowledge I have, I'm usually a pretty lone ranger, like a Chuck Norris of the web. I can do just about anything, but I work in solitude, so I have no groups, or people to back my claims.

Hosted and written addons for forum software too, such as this one(smf), Invision, PhpBB, PHP Nuke modules(That was long time ago), messed with Wordpress a little.

Back when I was 18 I wrote a PHP CMS system from scratch and ran a decently popular website for two years, it became more money than it was worth and needed to be shutdown, but it gave me a lot of experience in coding, bandwidth, and infrastructure. Content delivery systems, routing, nginx, apache, lighttpd, mysql, sqlite, php, wamp, javascript, css, gimp, photoshop, aegisub(.ass/.ssa), Sony Vegas, ssl, ajax, C, C++, C#, and lots of shit that my brain is filled with, but only a few languages I'm legitimately profound with.

I'm 24 now, and have written more CMS platforms than I can count on my fingers, used more software that anyone on this forum has probably heard of. If that's not enough for you, I started writing Basic code on Commodore 64 for automatically starting my games(This was before shortcuts of today existed) when I was 6.

Right now I'm mining to my private P2Pool node using Ubuntu 12.10, and on my Windows desktop. Which is assigned a static lan ip to the linux server since I'm using the Ubuntu server as a router. Using masquerade I can filter all my connections through in iptables so I can use ports on both machines and have dedicated servers if I want and backups if say my windows PC crashes, or whatever.

The Ubuntu desktop has all Ati drivers configured and SDK , mining locally using cgminer, and I never had to ask a single question. If it didn't work, I fixed it.
I see lots of questions about setting up cgminer on linux about the web, it was so easy for me, it's kinda funny how hard it is for others, but it is what it is.

After that long winded `whoami`, it's ultimately up to you, the moderator/admin to decide if I should be more apart of this community, or not.

Does it matter? Honestly, it's open source software. Though yes, he/they are important due to writing the original code, but what we do with it, is what ultimately matters.
Just because it's created, doesn't mean it'll be used the way the creator intended. Much like I have a hard time going over someone's else code if they wrote it too awkwardly, or not like me. Because I have my own vision. If I can do it without rewriting the entire system, I have to `tack` it on. Once you tack something on, you're exceeding the original programming. Are you following still?

Our mother's gave birth to us, not always do we end up following their desires and wishes. We become our own people. Bitcoin will become something more, more than Satoshi.
I believe that to be the purpose of this, giving birth, then orphaning your child, to see what happens.

Bitcoin has also given birth to more coins, coins might mate in the future, have their own babies, we'll never know what the result will be, because it's a new form of life. I believe they/he wanted to see what it would be like to be god/a true creator, having done it the way he/they did. The dark and mysterious, and undeniable truth is in the result, not the creator.

I think you all think too much about conspiracy, and not enough about creating.

I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but you said "any" help. I'm using v2.11.2, in the window I push G and D, and can effectively disable Thread 0(GPU0) it seems. It may actually disable both cards, so I would suggest reading what it says when you hit G, and see if you can manually disable one of the GPUs.

You can also try making it a config file:
(You said the 5870 is overclocked, so change and check these settings to your proper setup and cgminer location for header files.)




I don't know if this is useful or not, let me know!

It's showing changes in the market. Top graph is 3 hours, lower graph 10 minutes. Click the "WTF?" link

I can't agree with this, as mining creates venues of profit.(Which has it's ups and downs) While ASIC computers will kill it for hobbyists like myself to earn some money, using hardware I already got, or want to tinker with. Being a PC builder and interested in all forms of technology, I'd like to see a utopia where ASIC miners and GPU miners alike can still make reasonable money using hardware they have, for fun, and for their egos, aka, the nerdy hobbyists, who just like to experiment, and the much larger investors who look to make a huge business out of it.

Kinda like how we have Staples Techs, Apple nerds, and what not, and we have computer shops, tech guys, and private consultants. Everyone should be allowed to be involved, no matter what they bring to the table, everyone should get something. Maybe I'm hoping for too much.

Anyone and everyone has access to change/modify wikipedia articles, and these so called "commentators" and the like can be pretty dubious, and can actually be competitive.

One business I had put up online, and tried to make a wikipedia page for after 2 years operation was removed by a competitor's friend who has such access, which is no more than a conflict of interest.
Since I had followed all guidelines of making the page in the first place, but nope, removed, for an illegitimate reason.

You can't trust it with a grain of salt, except for things predated, bigger, and irrefutable.

I'm not sure, I haven't had really good experiences with the gui-based miners either, except for 50Miner, which I know doesn't work for you.
I have tried Cgminer on two different computers (Ubuntu 12.10, Ati Radeon HD 5570, and my Windows 7 desktop, Radeon HD 7750)(Which you already know of.)

I pushed my 7750 all the way to 1024Mhz+ and got a really good hash rate(For this particular card anyways) of 181kH/s. Via windows my 5570 struggled over 50kH/s, over linux it's been running the last day or so at 80-ish kH/s.

Things I didn't mention to you yet on Skype: I can push my card/s harder with Cgminer by fine tweaking the voltage and power tune, knowing the limits of the card and acceptable settings.
For example, I pushed the 7750 to 1.064 voltage, 1100Mhz, Powertune +10%, Memory 900mhz, and tapped out at 210kH/s~ but literally made my desktop unstable. Since my desktop isn't a dedicated miner, I just couldn't leave it that high. Stock I get like 140kH/s using 14 intensity. You should take this into consideration if you haven't. If my experiences don't help you at all, it's pretty much as always that for some reason different miners seem to work differently between the two of us, haha.

I know that P2Pool is a decentralized mining pool, consisting of nodes, which interconnect together. However, my question does not seem to be something that comes up, or at least not over google, through this forum or other methods(The P2Pool wiki).

My question is, how would a node host create "aliases" to bitcoin wallet addresses?

A user connects with their wallet address, they are paid for shares they help mine.
A local connects with anyuser with any password and they are shown as a local miner.

How could I turn "thisuser" with "thispass" as "thatwallet"?
-If user exists and password is wrong, reject.
-If user is set as local, accept as local
-If user connects with bitcoin address, accept.

For example my wallet address is for instance 34 characters. Most addresses are this long(To my knowledge)
Could you some how allow alias workers under 30 characters?

Would this require me to edit the source code to check a mysql DB? Or could I do this without modifying the source code?

I'm a web developer, so I want to create a feature filled, unique P2Pool site, where a user could login as:

herpderp, their wallet is A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8I9J10K11L12M13N14O
herpaderp + right pass = A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8I9J10K11L12M13N14O
herpaderp + wrong pass = Reject

(db columns id,user,pass,wallet,local (id(ai),user(30),pass,local(default:0))

If I have to modify how connections are handled I will, but if there is something I could do to achieve the same effect already there, and I either missed it in the documentation, or it's simply not documented I'd really like to know.

You have to be signed in for a total of 4 hours.. I've been browsing bitcointalk for 48 hours and only signed up just today, still have to wait.

1 hour 10 minutes to go apparently.

I don't know where I stand. Although I don't trust anyone, and the only time I'll actually use bitcoins is probably to transfer it into USD, from a respected, well known exchange. I kinda laugh at the password suggestions. The things you mention like, my "wife's favorite food, mother's maiden name, plus, plus, plus plus" is laughable. No offense to anyone who does this sort of thing, but personally, I see no reason for this.

Security is for "dumb" people.(Again, no offense intended.) What I mean is, the less informed, those who don't really understand what security is. First off, there was already an article on this subject about long passwords vs short password, etc. Some will create stupid passwords like "god" "ego" "ihaveabigdick" and expect this to be secure, and have the guts to complain when something goes wrong, so it forces companies like Microsoft to make required passwords insanely more stupid in order to fend off the stupid people.

What I do is this: Throw away accounts: Facebook, Microsoft(Hotmail), Google/Gmail, sites like that, get my simplified password, my middle name(13 chars)(I have two), or my last name(9 chars) followed by a question mark, because I'm forced to because of tinfoil hat people, and "security dumbdumbs". Where is my middle name? Not on Facebook, not on Google, no where online. Only family knows my middle name, or friends that happen to ask me. Though, really, middle names aren't really a discussion.
I also don't casually tell them that this is my password.


Secure, where I have the choice: One of my middle names(7 chars), 1337'ed. Question mark sometimes added for "security" as to not easily be "bruteforced", ps: Never been hacked, ever. Never have had a single account stolen, robbed, taken over, whatever in over 12 years being online, using the same exact password schematics.
 

We could always make a quote pyramid, moderators love that.

It's to reduce spam, noob posts and such. They don't want a whole bunch of questions that have been already asked and otherwise answered. They're making sure to filter out those less knowledgeable that don't use Google/Wikipedia/Reading, which can very much be a good ally for almost anything you should/could/want to know. I'm sure they've had people register and go in help and support and ask "What is bitcoin?", "What it this? What is that?", without effectively using their heads to go read the answer that has been posted or written thousands of times.

What toppings do you have?

Ebay was first, or so I thought. O_o

Ebay founded: September 3, 1995

Amazon founded: 1994, launched in 1995, selling books, not "everything".
Doing what it does now, isn't what it did then. It expanded because Books eventually have been dying out, as it moved into digital downloads and other things. Essentially copying Ebay's framework.


Not saying they both didn't provide some technology, but 1994-1995, lots of things were happening, lots of people wanted to make money.
It took 10 years after that, before video took off. (Youtube,Veoh(defunct),Stage6(defunct),Dailymotion), then later Vimeo showed up.
You use to have to wait hours for a video to process, now it takes minutes. Thanks to new graphics/cpu technologies.

So while anything can be created, not always is it successfully implemented right away, it has to mature and evolve to keep going.

I know it's just your opinion, but to me an exchange is like a bank, you have to go to a bank, talk with a rep and sign up for your preferred account(s).
Since it's pretty automated, 1-2 hours seems like a short wait time. Even 24 hours to me would seem short, because I don't have to go out of my way, to have an appointment with some branch(exchange) to make me an account so I can do ultimately what I actually use a bank for to cashout(Checks, deposits, what not). I don't actually keep any money in my bank if I don't have to, I keep it in my wallet.

Same would go for an exchange I would guess, only useful when you want to cash out or exchange into another currency. I wouldn't actually mind having to wait, unless of course I have bills to pay with said money, or whatever the case may be. Just starting(I'm not sure what you've allotted so far in coins, and it's none of my business) but it probably isn't much if you're new, and the wait isn't that bad if you're new. A smart person would create an account(bank, exchange, whatever) prior to actually needing it, foreseeing that they'll need it.

But waiting still sucks, I can weigh in with you there. But I wouldn't be upset about it. (That's my opinion though, or how I see it.)

The only topic I could reply to, awesome.  

I am me. That's pretty vague. Hmm, I'm web developer/network technician/PC repair guy. I build, create, repair, enthuse various different technologies. New to the whole coin and mining thing. But managed to get a private P2pool installation up, running and making me coins.

I was going to ask some questions about P2pool, but it seems I'm being throttled(forced to wait). Understandable due to the numerous spam bots today.
