RPis are slow for crypto, but super compact and simple - ideal for cold storage operations IMO.
The latest model is not even particularly slow, it signs a transaction within a second or two. The initial RPi required a bit more patience ...For the Pi3? I was tempted to try it, but the Pi3 includes onboard Wifi and Bluetooth, so I thought the Pi2 would be better for cold storage (if not frustratingly slow). I imagine the original Pi would be nearly unusable.
Second (or third) this! I've been hoping 96.3/4 will have a rPi offline release. RPis are slow for crypto, but super compact and simple - ideal for cold storage operations IMO.
Thank you very much for all your work goatpig~

I too have been unable to access my wallet for the last 2 months or so. I mine at several multipools, and Armory was okay a while back, but as funds built up the wallet started crashing consistently, so I'm looking forward to 0.91!
Side note: I installed 0.90 Bitcoin Core Qt tonight, ran/synced, then closed Qt. I pull up Armory 0.90 and receive the following error:
Output from bitcoind:
StdErr:
: Corrupted block database detected.
Do you want to rebuild the block database now?
Armory stays in Offline mode.

Congrats! You get to try the new blockchain download via torrent! But we think your other problems will be fixed when you are done.
Please install the new version of Armory I just posted. Use "Help"->"Factory Reset" and choose to destroy everything, including redownloading the blockchain.
If it goes right, you should get to redownload via torrent. The new version should work out of the box. (no more --test-announce is needed)
0.90.99.40-test did the trick. I can now open my wallet with many multipool inputs and it does not crash. I did not do a factory reset - just installed the testing version over 0.90. I did have to manually point Armory to Bitcoin Core 0.90, I'm guessing because I installed the 64-bit version.

Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com
Between Middlecoin Wafflepool and CleverMining, I tend to spend most of my time on Clevermining. The BTC/Day per Mh/s is usually a wash but the clevermining website and stats are the best followed by Wafflepool. Middlecoin has the worst frontend and the operator/H20 often goes MIA during critical times and we are left to guess what's going on. It's clear H20 doesn't care about middlecoin as much as he once did or he would do something to prevent the mass exodus of miners. Hash rates have dropped nearly down to 50% of what they were a month ago.
I just can't understand what he's thinking.

Me neither. Not caring, apparently. Still pulling in over $3k in coin a day, so he must not be too concerned.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - www.middlecoin.com
I've gotten concerned about a week of bad payouts and really poor pool management by MC. I moved my 16MH last night to Clever. We'll see if Clever's higher claimed profitability overcomes their high reject rate (12% for me). If not, I'm off to try Waffle and then WeMineAll.
I'm having an issue with constant crashes when using armory to watch my offline wallet. Once 'Scanning Transaction History' completes, armory stop responding and can only be force close.
I'm using Ubuntu for "cold storage" and Windows 7 for watching. I've been having this issue for about 2 weeks and I've tried.
1. deleting everything in %appdata%/roaming/bitcoin
2. uninstalled armory
3. launched bitcoin-qt and let it get caught back. closed it.
4. reinstalled armory
5. launched armory and let it get synced up
At this point, I note that everything is fine. Armory starts up fine, bitcoin qt start fine
6. Import wallet the I created using "watching only copy"
Armory Scans Transaction history. Then crashes.
Any idea as to how I can fix or debug this.
Edit: I'm using 0.90-beta

Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
Because RDP screws up your temp monitoring. I use RDP only for my BAMT-based rigs, and TightVNC to administer the Win7 rigs. CGRemote for a quick overview at a glance.
Weird, is it a problem with the application(s) used or RDP itself?
Has to do with how RDP accesses the video drivers I believe. Try it. When I try to use TRIXX or see temp and fan speeds per GPU in CGMiner, I get nothing. VNC equivalents don't have the same issue. I've heard good results with Teamviewer as well, though I've not tried it.

... running Windows 7 headless.
How do you run Windows 7 headless?^^
Simply start the pc without a monitor connected? I'm doing it on Win8, once configured and set up so everything starts automatically at boot time, it just keeps doing its thing
And use VNC instead of RDC.
Why would you do that?
RDP is built-in and offers better resolution, file transfer, etc. Just needs to be enabled.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
I took the liberty of giving the pool website a quick makeover. I find myself staring at the graphs and tables on the site quite a lot these days and the current design is, well, not amazing. You can view my mockup here:
http://rickardandersson.github.io/middlecoin
For the sake of convenience, I only included part of the huge table on the front page. In addition, all report links in the table point to the same sample page. I also took the liberty of changing the colors used in the graphs by coinGeek. The colors I used are:
Immature: #ecdf9a
Unexchanged: #a6e38e
Balance: black (2 px wide)
Accepted: #7cb5ee
Rejected: #215b95
Three hour average: black
It's not the most exciting design (I'm not a designer), but I believe it is at least a bit better than what we have today.

+2. This is a great readability improvement. H2O, please implement; it'd be appreciated.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
Just as a datapoint for new(er)-comers to this pool like myself: my earnings are approximately 19% higher over the last 6 days through middlecoin than they would have mining with wemineltc.
My calculations are based on:
Higher earnings and less hassle trading LTC->BTC. I'm pretty satisfied with middlecoin thus far, especially after the server fixes this weekend.
My calculations are based on:
- the current LTC difficulty of 3366.694 (I realize the difficulty has increased)
- a 2% reject rate at wemineltc (and I average 4-5% rejects with middlecoin since the server update)
- 1% pool fee to wemineltc
- a 0.2% trading fee at btc-e

Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
When you make a bitcoin transaction, there is always an extra bit leftover that goes back into your wallet. In this case, that extra bit happened to be large, due to the way the "coins" in the wallet were arranged.
If it wasn't evident, it might have been clearer to some if h2o had said that was a change address, not really a refund.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
I noticed some recent changes as well.
Has the coin name been inside the job name before? Like DOG_something or MOO_something? :-)

I wonder if H2O will end up pulling that so other pools can't easily detect his mining algorithms.
As a miner it's nice to see it though.Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
Also, the switch/disconnect frequency seem to had dropped way off, looks like the fix has rolled out.
I'm absolutely seeing higher avg hash rates since the last few hours.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
Like others have reported, I switched to eu as my primary pool today. For the past 3 days I had been getting 5-7% rejected shares across all rigs. This has now dropped to 0.5-3%. Hopefully H2O is working on adding capacity and robustness to the US servers.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
What's up with my connections? Middlecoin seems to go down all the time and my miners switch over to another pool and it takes sometimes 5 minutes to switch back, any way I can help prevent this?
I had the same issue a few pages back in the thread. I fixed it by adding eu.middlecoin.com:3333 as a backup pool and using the switch --failover-only.
Re: [ANN] profit switching auto-exchanging pool - middlecoin.com
I have wemineltc as a failover pool, and CGminer has been failing Middlecoin (over 165 GF errors between 2 rigs today). Anyone else experiencing this? Should I remove my failover pool?
It's probably due to coinshifting. I'm bot sure how the failover pool works. is it everytime main pool is dc'ing or is also when it doesn't get work for lets say 10 sec?
I think it is when work isn't available for ~10 seconds. I've added eu.middlecoin as my second pool, moved wemineltc to third tier, and added the "--failover-only" switch to CGminer. We'll see if this reduces pool switching. I only want to leave Middlecoin if its stratum servers are down for an extended period of time, like say during a DDoS.
