Re: [ANN] Grin Web Wallet - Confidentially Safely Conveniently

Hi CD,

I'm a little reluctant to try/trust mygrin.org especially after reading quite recent (~2 weeks)) reports of lost funds by users good_king_wenceslas and sccdry over at https://www.grin-forum.org/t/grin-web-wallet-confidentially-safely-conveniently/4693/50.

Additionally, there has been very little feedback here on bitcointalk plus you have a rather short track record.
The views of honoured community members like CjMapope (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090427.msg50399036#msg50399036) are not beneficial to build a solid rep.

Can you explain why people depositing their grin with your service should trust you/mygrin.org ? Any community members vouching for your authenticity? Who are your team members?

This is not meant as any form of insult, its just that there are quite different folks hustling around here, some of them with good intention and knowledge, some of them not...

Cheers, PM

I am still getting the "Attention Required" verification status, even after submitting the requested docs.

What kind of photo have you submitted? I suspect that the system has rejected mine.

Thank you!

Was the same for me, after some time the 'Attention Required' badge disappeared but i still could not place orders or initiate withdrawals.
After several hours I finally was able to use my account normally again.

I sent them photos taken with my mobile, stripped exif, jpeg compression around 75 (gimp) and reduced resolution (~700x1200px). every info necessary i clearly visible tough.

My guess is the systems need some time to sync...

This is insane! Also got my legacy-account locked. I had tried to get verified in the past but after a while the verification process was simply aborted without notice so i finally accepted my non-verified status as the way to go with polo.

Polo won't even let me place orders within their ecosystem effectively confiscating all i got there... strange policy, i would at least have expected to get a notification for such measures...  Angry

Do they think there are not other exchanges now that they got adopted by circle?

update: The forced verification went through (profile-page says i'm verified) in minutes for me but sadly, the account remains frozen even afterwards.

update2: finally de-frozen after several hours  Roll Eyes

I'd like to second Ck_mining's request albeit I'm just a casual coupon buyer.
So smaller amounts with short timeframes (typically below 2-3 days).

Looking forward to your reply,

Hi!

I've tried 2 of the .pro - pools so far and have been generally satisfied.

something that i also miss is some API-support for scripted account monitoring. API has been mentioned several times here but never been answered and I wonder why?

for me its fine if the answer is like 'no API support planned in the near future' as everyone in need of more detailed statistics can still choose to use a different pool offering API-support (e.g. I like what suprnova is offering API-wise)  but plain ignorance won't help i guess (this is not meant as any form of insult but to describe of how the behaviour regarding these questions is percived by me) ...

anyway, thanks for providing these services =)

I'm using stock power cc:150 mc:75 with ewbf miner and i get 180-190 sol/s ...

with PNY gtx 1050ti

I'm using EVGA 1050ti SCs, but I will try your settings.  Hope they work for my SCs.   Smiley
so... have you tried trevors settings? what was the outcome and what PL did you use? I haven't paid much attention to the 1050ti's but they seem capable for small cheap rigs as i'm reading this. whats your cards stock TDP (evga, palit,...)? 75W as they don't carry any power-connector?

and what efficiency are you running your 1050 ti's at?
assuming one card can reach
175 sol/s @ 75W, this would result in 2.33 sol/W which is rather poor compared to the bigger cards...
165 sol/s @ 60W (80%) -> 2.77 sol/W still not too great?

Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0017

Hi there!

Been trying nvOC 0012 after OP pointed me to it in another thread and liked it but went back to my own installation for stability reasons and some other things i missed or didn't like. Still I'd like to say thanks for all the work devoted into nvOC and for sharing it with the community!

Now I got my hands on a nice 8xGPU supermicro 4028 case (X9 board inside) for a couple of days (already feelin' sad that I'll have to return this nice machine) and for the sake of simplicity thought I give nvOC another shot (v0017 this time).
After applying my settings to oneBash I fired up nvOC and found it mining smoothly albeit I didn't manage to get a desktop displayed on any of the graphics-ports (tried pretty much all display-port slots of all cards, especiall GPU #0 which was not easy to find out which one it is (inner left if viewing from the back)). the onboard vga-port shows the ubuntu typical purple background but i cannot see anything else on it.

Logging in via ssh works though so I went on checking temps and stuff and found that the fan-speeds were like I configured them for GPU #0 to GPU #3 but running on default for GPU #4 to GPU #7!
Miners were running on all GPU's present, did not find out how to check OC-settings but I suspect only the cards with set fan-speeds will have their OC-settings applied.

Digging a bit deeper into xorg.conf and the output of nvidia-smi I noticed the the graphic cards PCI-device-addresses on this machine do not start at 01 and go up sequentially but are 04, 05, 08, 09 and 84, 85, 88, 89. The cards in the lower addresses had their fanspeed applied correctly, the 8X ones not.

Inspecting nvOC's xorg.conf I found the there are entries for graphic cards on addresses 01 til 14 which might nicely explain why in my case only the cards within this range get their settings applied. So I went on and changed some other device-entries numbers to 84,85, 88, 89 hoping this would do the trick.

Sadly it didn't, behaviour was just like before.
My guess is that these numbers are hardcoded in some other config somewhere in the system and I might need to alter this as well. Any ideas where else I might need to look?


Thanks in advance,
pain

i'm thankful for everyone who is participating to make information and software that is providing it accessible and usable and are therefore bringing up suggestions. tapatalk is one of them (and one that i'd also like to see being supported on bitcointalk) and the fact that it's been asked for over years might be a hint that many consider it beneficial.

the security-argument has been brought up several times against tapatalk-support but besides gut-feelings I haven't come across any fundamental hints what exactly might be wrong security-wise with tapatalk or why exactly one would be better of by storing his/her credentials in a mobile browser provided free of charge by worlds biggest data broker (-> chrome).
I don't want to start off another tiring discussion that wont change anything but originally wanted to report that https://beta.bitcointalk.org yields a 502.

hopefully bitcointalks new shiny browser-software with mobile-support will still work with console-based text-browsers such as elinks, w3m and the like... lets see Wink

Hi there,

Yesterday (march 20th) i subscribed on humaniq's newsletter out of pure interest in the project. Reading further into the specs i found that there is this bounty also for subscribers so i filled in my data under the link provided in your original post today and got a positive response ('Your response has been recorded.') but yet wonder if I am eligible for the bounty as my subscription happened on time but my data entered too late?

anyway, wish you a great launch & progress and truly like the idea & concept!

allright, thanks for clarifying!

so far, i do like the pool, service and everything Wink

that info would be helpful on the website as well, especially the part of the threshold and the need for named nodes in order to be able to access any statistics.

i still seem to do something wrong here as i cannot see any statistics (all values empty) as before even after adding a '.name' to my address string. i guess the link to the anondashboard won't include the addresses '.name' extension, right?
mining on my registered account works fine so the problem shouldn't be on the software software-side here i suppose...

would it make sense if i pm you my address so you could check if you can find any balance/data to it in the system? be warned that i might have set that address also as payout-addr in my registered account...

hmmm, noone knowing what the donation is used for?
then i guess its simply some extra benefit to the pool-creator without any certain intent?

another one: the suprnova-website (-> getting started) states that anonymous mining is possible by specifying a (ZEC-)address as username.
mining statistics should be further available through https://zec.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=anondashboard&user=

i've tried to do so but all i get is a dashboard-page where all values are missing even if i have submitted multiple shares before (no balance, no workers listed, empty histograms,...).
the address used also has not yet received anything so i guess there is a payout-threshold? if yes, how high is that, if no, how does one trigger a payout for anonymously mined ZEC?

again, thanks for your help!

Nvidia Compute always drops memory to 2nd memory profile setting, which is legacy problem from the launch of 10 series cards.

You need to set up .sh overclocking profile that will add 404mhz (or whatever you GPU is short at) overclock to the memory to get the gaming memory performance of 8008mhz applied to the Compute tasks.  
thanks a lot for your reply! i'm not sure i understand you correctly what you mean by 'set up .sh overclocking profile'.
i assume you mean i need to create a bash-script (.sh) which gets executed during startup (just as you posted in you guide)?
this is exactly what i have done and this leads to the described behaviour in my case (level 2 (without clock-offsets) of a total of 3 levels).

without the RegistryDwords-option, the card is stuck in level 2 (of 3) right from the beginning.

hi there and thanks for this writeup! pretty much covers what i've tried/observed so far.
besides setting coolbits to 28 (which i don't think is necessary as a value of 16 should suffice unless one wants to fiddle with GPU-voltages) i've also come across the xorg.conf setting of

  Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x2222; PowerMizerDefault=0x1; PowerMizerDefaultAC=0x1

which ought to help set a performance-level where GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset can bet set which is in my case only the cards highest performance-level (can be checked with nvidia-settings -q GPUPerfModes -t)!

however, after booting the card seems to be in the highest perf-level but as soon as i start my miner the perf-leves goes back to the second highest level where the GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset cannot be set.
any idea what i might do wrong on this?  Huh

setting fanspeed and GPUGraphicsClockOffset seems to work fine as both are settable not only in the highest perf-level...
driver used on my debian-system is 375.20.

cheers!

i recently joined suprnova's zec-pool and was wondering what the donation each user can select is used for.
looked around the site and couldn't find any info on this.

a donation based pool is an interesting idea albeit i doubt enough would be willing to donate to make up for a low/zero percentage of fee's but since there is a fair 1% fee on suprnova (with occasional 0% special's) i wonder out of pure interest what the additional donation would be used for.

anyway, thanks for the good work and support!

I dont understand? Whats bad about referral links? Please explain.
referral links might be neither good nor bad. but joining when joining a community it might be wise to try to respect some rules.
the readme clearly states

Don't make threads or posts solely for putting up referral links, that's what signatures are for.

i would keep in mind that if privacy/anonymity is a concern localbitcoins.com seems to be the only way to go as all the other relatively trustworthy exchanges require you to verify your account by submitting high-quality scans of id's and the like.

i just registered with bitstamp and was rather surprised to find such strict verification rules:
Code:
To verify your account please submit

1.) a valid government issued ID, acceptable high quality images of documents are:

    international passport (double page)
    national ID card (both sides)
    driver's license (both sides)

2.) a proof of residency, acceptable scanned images of paper documents are:

    bank statement
    utility bill for utilities consumed at your home address
    tax return, council tax
    certificate of residency issued by a government or a local government authority

You can also submit other documents to serve as proof of residency such as; government-issued documents, judicial authority-issued documents, documents issued by a public agency / authority, utility service company, or similar regulated service providing companies.
Notice

To avoid delays when verifying your account, make sure that your submitted documents are:

    VISIBLE in their ENTIRETY (watermarks are permitted)
    images of HIGH QUALITY (colour images, 300dpi resolution or higher)
    valid ID documents, with the expiry date clearly visible
    proof of residency document must be a scanned image of a PAPER document
    proof of residency document must be ISSUED within the last 3 MONTHS and addressed to your NAME and HOME address
    NOT ELECTRONIC bills/statements, online screenshots, or mobile phone bills.

My verification was denied, what now?

Please check your email for the reason and re-submit a verification request with the correct documents. If you should need further assistance please submit a support ticket to: https://www.bitstamp.net/support/

please correct me in case i have missed a service that respects privacy at a substantial amount ...
