Re: Peter R's theory on the collapse of MtGox and its effect on the price of bitcoin
Later this day, a group of hackers gained access to MtGox servers and executed fake trades that the world could see, driving the nominal price of bitcoin near $0. Mark was frantic. He quickly regained control of the servers and learned the dark truth: the million bitcoins that had recently flooded in earlier that month were gone. Mark admitted publically to the hack, rewound the false trades, but kept the truth of the missing coins a secret.
- Which transactions show the 1M BTC transfer from and away from MTGox? So many BTC must be tracable... ok. reading up on the total output...
Didn't MTGox have a withdraw limit already at that time? Or was that withdrawlimit coupled to the BTC price on mtgox?It seems that withdraw limit was coupled to the BTC price and had a huge bug anyway.... Didn't use MTGox a cold wallet at that time for 1M BTC?- Did people really see Willy sell BTC in February? Here is from earlier: http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/1uhjrb/intriguing_bot_activity_on_gox_for_the_last_2
- readin up here and I am shocked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20207.msg252680#msg252680
Mark was in #bitcoin-dev at the time of the heist asking the bitcoin devs to roll back the blockchain, so that lines up with this theory.
Very interesting. You wouldn't happen to have an IRC log or a link handy to a thread discussing this, would you?

PS: yes I also was goxxed... :-(
PPS: Interesting story, that at least explains all the events... but I hope it's not too close to the truth.
PPPS: The most puzzeling thing for me was the missing Fiat... and your story (A bot selling/buying fake BTC) explains this....
Re: [360GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
why does the hashrate drop? Why are people leaving? We have more luck than ever!
Quote
You must upgrade to P2Pool 0.10.3 or greater before April 1st (or March 27th for Litecoin) and install either Bitcoin 0.6.0 or the 0.5.4 backport to ensure compatibility with BIP16
Looks like the people who where not upgraded got kicked from the network.
I have a question: I forwarded TCP and UDP on port 9333 from my router to my pc, but I always get:
Code:
Peers: 10 (0 incoming)
Why doesn't it connect to more nodes?Your pool server crashed.
yeah... what's going on?Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overclock monitor fanspeed GCN RPC linux/windows/osx 2.3.1
Try again please with the updated git now. (only diablo kernel has been changed this time).
Correction: it is on average 190 MH/s.Therefore: Thanks! It works!
Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overclock monitor fanspeed GCN RPC linux/windows/osx 2.3.1
yes... know, but I prefer the default kernel (is it diabolo?) since I tested all of them a while ago and diabolo was the fastest. Therefore I prefer to work with the older git version... but why did the hashrate drop?
The kernels have radically changed and I need to choose the right ones. I'm asking you because I need your feedback, i'm not telling you a workaround. You are running very experimental code by trying the git tree.Current Git:
diablo: 175 MH/s
poclbm: 157 MH/s
phatk: 168 MH/s
poclbm: 160 MH/s
Git from 3/3/2012:
default/diablo: 190 MH/s
Everything on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, with HD5770 , Intensity 9, no overclocking/underclocking ,
ADL SDK 3.0
APP SDK 2.6 RC3
Cataclyst 12.2
Should I test all the kernels with the older git, too?

Re: CGMINER GPU FPGA overclock monitor fanspeed GCN RPC linux/windows/osx 2.3.1
Hi, I just wanted to report that with the latest git My Hashrate drops from 190 MH/s to 170 MH/s. When I check the git repository out from the date 3/3/2012 then I get again 190MH/s.
I use the default kernel and I use ubuntu 11.10 with a HD5770. What changes made the hashrate drop so drastically?

Re: What is the best linux, amd driver and cgminer combo right now?
I'm working on kubuntu 64 bit.
Cataclyst 12.2
cgminer (latest git version)
ADL SDK 3.0
App SDK 2.6
It works perfectly with no cpu usage issues. (in other combinations a 100% cpu load is anoying)

Re: Microsoft Researchers Suggest Method to Improve Bitcoin Transaction Propagation
Hi, I read some of the posts and I try to summarize it for later readers, and please correct me if I say something wrong:
1. There could be a problem if out of some reasons there aren't enough people relaying transactions. Example: Bitcoin gets to Visa proportions and only miners have the hardware requirements to receive/relaying transactions. They will (of course) not relay transactions if there is no incentive.
Solutions:
1) Pay all (or statistically some) node that relayed transactions somehow
2) Punish the (greedy) nodes, by cutting connections to them. Then a miner not relaying transactions will receive much less transactions (he could include in his own block)
My Comment:
I think that it it very important to think about it. The solution 2) wouldn't require a change of protocol (I think) and is a quick and easy way to get everyone to relay transactions (even if the network is just composed of miners (due to hardware requirements)).
1) would certainly open a whole lot of new set of problems/attacs, but If REALLY carefully thought through would solve the problem more elegantly than 2).
An other point to 2): Instead of counting how many transactions a node relays (to determine if they are greedy), maybe it should count how much transactions fees they are relaying (just an idea... but I don't know if that is better or worse, than counting the number)
Ok. It's good that we think about it, thanks to the guys from MS (yes I run Linux)!

What does it mean if an receiving address is grey and in Brackets? (in the Transaction overview)
Or if there is (k.A.) in this overview?
Should be delete/backup the wallet.dat and rename wallet.dat.rewrite -> wallet.dat? ....testing.... no that doesn't work...
PS: It doesn't matter to me, because I have about 0.0015 Bitcoins on there anymore, but I wonder....
PPS: hmm..... I try it with an unencrypted "pre 0.4 version" wallet

osiris should make this page:

their frontpage! Because without reading this, it is difficult to understand what it actually does.

Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner overclock monitor fanspeed in C linux/windows/osx 2.0.8
100% CPU Usage Bug for me under Linux with 4 x 5870 with Catalyst 11.11 fixed !
Yes. I can confirm that!Gavin, thanks for all your hard work. I am sure you know this, but there are many people, hidden away in the background, that are impressed with your efforts. You have a sound strategic vision and have done important work in this crucial early stage. As an experienced professional, you already know that these bugs do happen in complex software. For us less-experienced people, please keep letting us know how to test the code or otherwise contribute.
Thanks again.
YES!. Thanks Gavin!Thanks again.
