It's probably because the domain nascoin.org no longer is in the control of the author. NAS used to get nodes from there anyway and I couldn't find any before adding some manually.

You can add a couple of nodes yourself by reading them from tikers public node and appending them to the file /conf/nas-default.properties.

The line to edit begins with "nas.wellKnownPeers=" and should look something like this when you're done:


Edit: Should we pack a zip with the 1.1.3N1 and a config with tiker's node in it or will the exchanges only trust a long gone dev? Or should we let it die?


BTC38 has a very interesting take on all this IMO. (They also have a very interesting limit on the length of the messages you can write so you kinda try to cook it down to the bare minimum of what you want to say and how.)


So... they need a team that doesn't exist to fix a chain that's not broken so that people won't stop buying coins they'll never be able to withdraw? If the coins can't ever be used or transferred, is it anything more than a straight up online casino with a boring interface?

And you, my dear friend, has obviously not read a single one of my previous posts given what you think my "activity" is related to. And no, if you think I'mt rying to spew myself to the post count, not really, 34 (28)posts is quite alot. However, by now I can admit that this has become noise instead of comments directed to the one of the purposes of the coin and will stop posting here, and so should probably you do as well.

I'm just whining since I rarely use forums but consider myself an active community member. That said, I'll just buy them by the buckload once everyone starts panicking instead. (See, now I have 10% of the post count already, took me 10 minutes of spewing useless garbage)

There is none, afaik there's just one very empty and silent channel registered with ChanServ at FreeNode. So I guess "the Community" don't know about IRC after all

You do realize that I was pointing out that there's not only one place where the community is active right? There's something called IRC and github, if you've ever heard of them.

Since when is a comment about one of the core purposes of a coin noise in the Altcoin Announcement forum? You could just say umad or something..

[Edit: PS. Noob ]

I find it quite ridiculous that it's a coin that's apart from the PoS concept that I actually find very appealing, is about some "fair distribution" based on if people has contributed or not and the limit you have to pass is to posts 50 messages on here. As if the crypto community only consist of this forum... [Edit: typo]

I was up at 24XX, but now it complains again so I'm guessing I'm forked, again........

Well, to avoid 5 minutes stability check you could go back to version 3.5.0 according to procrypt in #hashcows but if you're compiling cgminer yourself, here's a patch that lowers the retry-time after the pool switches coin down to 5s (instead of 30) and then checks stability for 5-8s:


On a sidenote, if you're running GNU/Linux and allready have all dependencies installed and ADL_SDK downloaded and unzipped to ~/AMD/ADL_SDK you'd download, patch, configure and compile by something like this:


And 'make install' if you want to.

Edit: This should be a very obvious snippet, but otherwise, if you don't know what's going on it's probably good practice to not patch and run stuff you get from this or any other forum about cryptos until someone trustworthy OK'd it. Pastebin apparantly does something to the end of the file that causes 'patch' to throw an error but the file still gets patched and compiles just fine. Also, i updated the patch to lower the time between retrying to set up a new connection.

I could just skip telling you this and take a large(r) chunk of the fast blocks, but I want to support the exchange that show the most transparancy now that... well, some don't.

SOLD

Actually, I had it mostly right, I had managed to get the URL wrong and missed one parameter for urllib, which I'm now unsure if I really need or not. Big up to ahihi/Optonic (goxsh), your code helped me understanding this authentication-thing! (didn't fully understand that code currently on the wiki)

And thanks for the links and code

Haha, där ser man, tre dagar sedan den kom och jag har lyckats missa den, dags att kompilera då. Men okej, lite failkommentar då det var just 0.4 som jag i inledningen menade att Andresen hade pratat om .

Edit: Ändrar dock inte sakfrågan, att det känns vettigare att satsa på att vanligt folk kan använda det i stället för att inrikta sig på nördar... Vi har ju ändå namecoin helt för oss själva att leka med .

Both these examples is using the old mtgox API =(

Andresen nämnde för ett tag sedan att de håller på att implementera en smidig funktion för att kryptera sin wallet och det finns åtminstone en början på en sådan funktion i BitcoinQT eller vad den heter även fast jag inte kollat själv hur pass klar den verkar vara. Han, Andresen alltså, nämnde det på bitcointalk för ett tag sedan och denna tråd kom igår: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45742.0
Förmodar att det snart även kommer funktioner för att dela upp filen också så att man kan spara undan de viktigare delarna utan att skapa nya wallets vilket jag själv funderat över. Det kombinerat med att folk blivit medvetna om problemet löser nog det mesta av det där, så jag förstår inte varför man inte skulle göra det användarvänligt... det är väl liksom poängen med det här? Internationellt betalningsmedel med sjukt låga avgifter...

Oss datornördar verkar det ju finnas gott om ändå som någon sade (; Men oroa dig inte, när det väl finns använding för det och folk kan börja spara pengar på riktigt så kommer det mesta lösa sig, mer vanligt folk samt stabilare priser, som förmodligen är tillräckligt höga för att hålla alla miners glada och nätverket säkert...

Ledsen för kapningen... Menne... on topic så får jag väl medge att jag är ganska skeptisk till vad en svensk "portal" skulle kunna ge egentligen, förutom hålla i en FAQ som lika gärna skulle laddats upp på någon/några andra sidor med tiden, men du får gärna överraska mig .

Well, I've been fooling around some with the mtgix APi but can't get it to work, looked through goxsh, the wiki and some thread here with some C#-code and as far as I can tell this code really should work, but obviously it doesn't ... some help would be very much appriciated...


Edit:

I managed to fix it and replaced the code, this should work for anyone else struggling with mtgox API:

natrin: Sorry electric mucus, but I do not speak Greek. What was it?

Gives me 360-365MH/s respectively 379-386MH/s... could push the first one up to 845-850 something if I didn't have a 6990 over it. (the VRM's is getting bbq'd)

This is on the other hand very good... A shop gave me seven 6990 out of eight 5970 ordered and thought they were nice to me, they can't pull air from the sides, they blow hot air into my case which kills all my other equipment, pulls about 50W more energy a piece which ment I had to buy new PSU's and gives me the same 379-386MH/s! But hey, they cost more, so they must be better for everyone, right..?

Edit: Using DiabloMiner-Linux -v 2 -w 128, SDK 2.5 and driver 11.7. Just upgraded to 11.8 though which seems to give me slightly less hashes in average and alot more variance, allthough I just might need to balance the clocks a degree or two. The 6990 is now getting slightly higher speeds and seems more stable. Linux 11.8-drivers is not the same as the windows ones

I found this piece of code while trying to gather info about "--pplib-cmd" http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1742947

I started to customize it a bit to fit my temps and support multiple adapters (since aticonfig gives a slightly different output if you have more than one adapter)... and well... this is what I came up with after a while, thought you could find it as useful as I found the other thread.

Probably shouldn't paste it in a hughe code-box so I pasted it at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/Zt0ZafiR



I will assume that you are using Ubuntu since all other guides seems to be based upon Ubuntu, if you don't use it I suppose you can figure it all out anyway .

If you dont' have python installed (which you probably should have) you can install it by typing


Download fancontrol.py


Configure fancontrol.py


You MUST configure these variables:


Adapters is the amount of GPU's you have in your computer. I have for example two cards with two GPU's each in this computer, meaning I have four adapters.
Inactive adapters is the GPU's that don't have a fan appointed to them, in my case it's the second and fourth GPU since I have two double GPU cards.

You will also probably want to adjust/balance the temperatures and speeds.


Run fancontrol.py


(SSH into my miner)
http://s1.postimage.org/1ppkgslok/fancontrol.jpg

The values inside brackets or what it's called, 77.5,  is the calculated value between the average temperature and the warmest card that is used as base for the minimum allowed fanspeed to avoid too much heat spreading to cards in the slots above which causes higher temps for those cards.
(The math goes like this: Average temperature + Half difference between average and warmest temperature)

You could also change the settings so that all cards use the same fanspeed as the warmest one

(Works for boh multiple and single cards)

Edit: Balanced it to not fry your VRM's too much if you have overclocked your cards and starting the fancontrol during boot...

Dunno if this has been up before, but I was bored this weekend and wrote my first PyQt app which encrypts wallets. The base is pretty much done allthough I have to fix the widget containing the helpinfo asap I suppose, it opens in the background and can't be scrolled or closed until MainWindow is closed... I didn't sleep this night and was too confused this morning to fix it. Anyway, I feel I'm pretty much done with this very first stage and someone else might have good ideas on how to protect the variables and memory and all that.
Atleast it feels nice to share my code with someone even though it might not be of use, I suppose I will have to show my code for someone some day anyhow, so what better place than the internet .

https://github.com/Trasp/WalletPadlock ( <- Edit: Python source pacakge avaiable, only, should be os-independent though)

PS. If you didn't understand this I've never released a single line of code publicly before and I've only been writing small apps for myself, each time in different language, spread over a long time with huge breaks. Might warn you for some bad hacks in there, this ain't going to be safe against sophisticated trojans for a while anyway...

PS2. Serious gitpackages and all that yadda yadda comes later if ever (;


Edit: Dammit, move my post, somehow managed to post it wrong >< I blame the lack of sleep.

Well... If setting up two headless bitcoin-miners under linux with setups to later run four double gpu cards (atm running two cards in one box) be able to point these around through all this ixcoin, i0coin, solidcoin, i0coin again-crap and being really interested in namecoin because of its features who I think might be able to decentralize and free up the internet even more, if that counts as knowing more about bitcoins and alternate cryptocurrencies then the average newbie, then I suppose you maybe could whitelist me? Otherwise I'll have to post some more around here I suppose.

Edit: Just to add something in my frustration not to be able to reply, I would like to reply to this guy in some fancy easy-to-understand-way that when you are crunching numbers you're just crunching numbers, and these numbers could be the right hash for both the NMC block which contains one type of information and BTC-blocks which contains another type of information, thus being able to check if the hashes you crunch passes as either the BTC-hash or either the NMC-hash you could simply mine them both without loss, atleast minimize it to a low very level .
