17 2011-01-22 00:36:14 <tcatm> A little bit offtopic: What's the best way to sync directories (like $home) across computers (linux)?
18 2011-01-22 00:38:00 <ThomasV_> rsync
19 2011-01-22 00:38:34 <tcatm> can it work in both directions?

24 2011-01-22 00:43:31 <andrew12> rsync -axvz user@other_computer:folder folder
25 2011-01-22 00:43:42 <andrew12> both computers need rsync installed
26 2011-01-22 00:43:58 <andrew12> and an ssh server that's accessible.. though i think there is some sort of rsync server
27 2011-01-22 00:44:04 <andrew12> but ssh is easier.
28 2011-01-22 00:44:04 <tcatm> That doesn't care about deleted files, does it?
29 2011-01-22 00:44:12 <andrew12> you can make it care about them
30 2011-01-22 00:44:14 <andrew12> --delete :P
31 2011-01-22 00:44:30 <andrew12> (i think)
32 2011-01-22 00:44:49 <andrew12> read the man page :)
33 2011-01-22 00:44:58 <tcatm> Won't that delete files on one host (depending on which command I issue first) instead of syncing?
34 2011-01-22 00:45:07 <andrew12> hm
35 2011-01-22 00:45:15 <andrew12> i think there's something that does syncing too
36 2011-01-22 00:45:33 <andrew12> hmm
37 2011-01-22 00:46:05 <andrew12> unless you do --delete, it'll copy everything you have to the other folder on the other computer
38 2011-01-22 00:46:12 <andrew12> whether there's files there or not

41 2011-01-22 00:53:44 <tcatm> jgarzik: thanks. So no bi-directional sync
42 2011-01-22 00:54:56 <jgarzik> tcatm: well you can run rsync twice
43 2011-01-22 00:55:03 <jgarzik> switching local/remote params
44 2011-01-22 00:55:14 <mahadri> --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs
45 2011-01-22 00:55:32 <jgarzik> but real "bi-directional sync" requires domain-specific knowledge, for conflict resolution
46 2011-01-22 00:55:55 <tcatm> Would be acceptable if it prompted me for every file that conflicts
47 2011-01-22 00:56:22 <tcatm> Use case will be syncing my personal work directory between two computers (laptop and workstation)
48 2011-01-22 00:57:42 <jgarzik> you can seamlessly script it, if your workflow permits designation of one location as "primary" (== contains the most authoritative copy of personal work directory at the moment)

56 2011-01-22 01:05:38 <luke-jr> if my new PC uses max 5 amps, will a 500 W power supply be able to handle adding a high-end Radeon or two? :P
57 2011-01-22 01:06:16 <luke-jr> tcatm: git!
58 2011-01-22 01:06:19 <tcatm> One HD 5970 should work
59 2011-01-22 01:06:41 <luke-jr> 5970 requires PCIe 2.1, doesn't it? even my brand new mobo doesn't have thatâ¦
60 2011-01-22 01:07:27 <luke-jr> 2 would push it over the limit?
61 2011-01-22 01:07:37 <tcatm> luke-jr: git seems to be a good idea, but I have to re-structure my directories for that to work well
62 2011-01-22 01:07:59 <tcatm> I have a 850W PSU here that can't handle 2x 5970
63 2011-01-22 01:08:12 <luke-jr> if 850 can't handle two, how could 500 handle one? :/
64 2011-01-22 01:08:29 <tcatm> I have another 850W PSU that can handle two just fine
65 2011-01-22 01:08:54 <tcatm> But a single 500W can never power two 5970.
66 2011-01-22 01:10:22 <luke-jr> wait, I meant 5/4 amps
67 2011-01-22 01:10:42 <tcatm> As in 1.25 amps?
68 2011-01-22 01:10:46 <luke-jr> yeah
69 2011-01-22 01:10:56 <luke-jr> I forgot I had the measurement thing around 4 loops
70 2011-01-22 01:11:11 <tcatm> That's about 150W
71 2011-01-22 01:11:17 <luke-jr> hmm
72 2011-01-22 01:11:22 <luke-jr> so Radeons use how much?
73 2011-01-22 01:11:30 <tcatm> (I assume 115V AC, )
74 2011-01-22 01:11:45 <luke-jr> 120 I think
75 2011-01-22 01:11:51 <tcatm> Close enough.
76 2011-01-22 01:12:36 <tcatm> IIRC one HD5870 consumes about 200W mining Bitcoins
77 2011-01-22 01:12:39 <luke-jr> so about 300-350 per Radeon? :|
78 2011-01-22 01:12:44 <luke-jr> ah
79 2011-01-22 01:13:08 <tcatm> A 5970 should be ~300W because of reduced speed and core voltage
80 2011-01-22 01:13:42 <luke-jr> why do video cards use more power than the entire system otherwise? -.-
81 2011-01-22 01:13:45 <tcatm> so 450W incl. your system, probably close to 500W at the plug.
82 2011-01-22 01:13:53 <luke-jr> especially considering I already have a pretty awesome IGP
83 2011-01-22 01:14:04 <tcatm> Because they're like 60x as fast as your quadcore CPU? :)

115 2011-01-22 02:50:26 <andrew12> that's true
116 2011-01-22 02:50:50 <jwalck> GPS would be terribly slow at general purpose things too:)
117 2011-01-22 02:51:04 <andrew12> jwalck: really? why?
118 2011-01-22 02:51:15 rcorreia has joined
119 2011-01-22 02:51:34 <jwalck> andrew12: the cores have a limited instruction set / basically vector processors
120 2011-01-22 02:51:48 <ArtForz> yep
121 2011-01-22 02:51:49 <jwalck> and in current installations low bandwidth to the rest of the system / too little memory
122 2011-01-22 02:52:04 <andrew12> heh
123 2011-01-22 02:52:06 <andrew12> memory wall!
124 2011-01-22 02:52:08 <ArtForz> main problem is they're really wide vector processors
125 2011-01-22 02:52:08 <jwalck> AMD is working on merging the two more though, check out AMD Fusion and APUs
126 2011-01-22 02:52:28 <ArtForz> ATIs are 64-SIMD
127 2011-01-22 02:52:35 <andrew12> jwalck: also technically CPUs have a limited instruction set too.
128 2011-01-22 02:52:53 <ArtForz> well, actually 64-SIMD of 5-VLIW or 4-VLIW units
129 2011-01-22 02:53:03 <ArtForz> nvidias are 16-SIMD
130 2011-01-22 02:53:33 <ArtForz> and each "core" is a simple pipelined in-order design
131 2011-01-22 02:53:39 <jwalck> andrew12: not limited in the same sense. its ment for everything
132 2011-01-22 02:53:52 <jwalck> and optimized for whats common
133 2011-01-22 02:54:05 <ArtForz> also GPU memory subsystems aren't designed for random access
134 2011-01-22 02:54:06 <andrew12> well are they turing complete? :p
135 2011-01-22 02:54:10 <ArtForz> and they don't have much cache
136 2011-01-22 02:54:11 <ArtForz> yes
137 2011-01-22 02:54:18 <andrew12> then you can do "anything"
138 2011-01-22 02:54:19 <andrew12> :p
139 2011-01-22 02:54:22 <ArtForz> you could implement most of a OS on a modern GPU
140 2011-01-22 02:54:27 <ArtForz> it'd be pretty slow though
141 2011-01-22 02:54:51 <jwalck> not ment to and cant is different:)
142 2011-01-22 02:55:00 <andrew12> instead, use your gpu for complicated things, like generating bitcoins! :P
143 2011-01-22 02:55:09 <andrew12> they're probably so fast BECAUSE they have a limited instruction set
144 2011-01-22 02:55:24 <ArtForz> the instruction set really isn't THAT limited
145 2011-01-22 02:55:28 <andrew12> or at least that's probably one of the reasons
146 2011-01-22 02:55:42 <ArtForz> at least not more limited than most RISC CPUs
147 2011-01-22 02:55:49 <jwalck> ArtForz: tbh i havent looked closely at gpu design for a few generations:)
148 2011-01-22 02:55:59 <ArtForz> you should
149 2011-01-22 02:56:15 <ArtForz> fixed-function shader pipes are pretty much gone
150 2011-01-22 02:56:29 <andrew12> hehe, the funny thing is, i'm interested in this stuff, but there's a point when it gets a little too technical for me

206 2011-01-22 03:31:49 <hacim> hm, I just found my first block, but it was part of the mining pool, so I still get less than 1btc in reward :P
207 2011-01-22 03:31:54 <ArtForz> yep
208 2011-01-22 03:32:12 <ArtForz> 2.1 is backward compatible with 2.0 in any combination
209 2011-01-22 03:33:20 <luke-jr> when is the next difficulty change?
210 2011-01-22 03:33:46 <ArtForz> ;;bc,stats

212 2011-01-22 03:34:04 <andrew12> oh hey
213 2011-01-22 03:34:06 <andrew12> there it is
214 2011-01-22 03:34:06 <andrew12> :P
215 2011-01-22 03:34:23 <luke-jr> so about 3 days? :p
216 2011-01-22 03:34:31 <ArtForz> useful bot is useful
217 2011-01-22 03:34:38 <luke-jr> hmm
218 2011-01-22 03:34:54 <luke-jr> it's tempting to invest in a high-end card and temporarily mine on blobsâ¦
219 2011-01-22 03:35:18 <luke-jr> but I can easily foresee a lot of people building mining rigs and difficulty going way way up before the 2-3 month break-even
220 2011-01-22 03:36:07 <luke-jr> especially considering this http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=2826.0
221 2011-01-22 03:36:31 <[Noodles]> the longer you wait, the less you'll generate
222 2011-01-22 03:36:35 testtest has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
223 2011-01-22 03:37:03 <luke-jr> [Noodles]: yeah, the thing is I'm not interested at all if I can't even break even :P
224 2011-01-22 03:37:21 <[Noodles]> noone can tell, what future does to prices
225 2011-01-22 03:37:21 <nevezen> I doubt you'll break even
226 2011-01-22 03:37:35 <ArtForz> depends a lot on power cost
227 2011-01-22 03:37:48 <OneFixt> does anyone know the point of " Sleep(2000);" in CheckWork()?
228 2011-01-22 03:37:56 <nevezen> but wouldn't it be even harder to mine in a couple years?
229 2011-01-22 03:38:02 <ArtForz> yes
230 2011-01-22 03:38:06 <nevezen> when generation gets cut in half?
231 2011-01-22 03:38:27 <ArtForz> yes
232 2011-01-22 03:38:48 <ArtForz> I suspect we'll see a big drop in hashrate then
233 2011-01-22 03:38:52 <nevezen> would it be worth mining then?
234 2011-01-22 03:39:10 <lfm> luke-jr you dont think that bitcoin mining managment service is a scam?
235 2011-01-22 03:39:15 <[Noodles]> how could you tell, if it's worth it, if you don't know what the price of a coin will be?
236 2011-01-22 03:39:31 <ArtForz> sorry, my crystal ball is down for polishing ;)
237 2011-01-22 03:39:38 <nevezen> I guess prices are unpredictable..
238 2011-01-22 03:39:46 <[Noodles]> that's the point
239 2011-01-22 03:39:51 <ArtForz> imo price doesnt matter really
240 2011-01-22 03:39:54 <luke-jr> lfm: no?
241 2011-01-22 03:39:57 <nevezen> it's like 0.31 usd/btc now, right?
242 2011-01-22 03:40:01 <andrew12> no

250 2011-01-22 03:40:37 * Kiba sigh
251 2011-01-22 03:40:39 <[Noodles]> he just makes most profit
252 2011-01-22 03:40:47 <theymos> When will energy cost start mattering more than hardware cost?
253 2011-01-22 03:40:58 <[Noodles]> as long as i make profit, i dont care if others get more
254 2011-01-22 03:40:59 <ArtForz> pretty soon
255 2011-01-22 03:42:07 <Diablo-D3> man
256 2011-01-22 03:42:10 <Diablo-D3> I am so fucking laughing here
257 2011-01-22 03:42:14 <andrew12> at least until everyone decides mining isn't worth it anymore, then the difficulty will drop, then people will start mining again
258 2011-01-22 03:42:19 <ArtForz> CPU mining and the worst 8xxx and 9xxx series nvidia GPUs are already running at a loss at current difficulty, $0.1/kWh and $0.4/btc
259 2011-01-22 03:42:35 <Kiba> unless the price jack up
260 2011-01-22 03:43:03 <andrew12> why does it still feel like 2010?
261 2011-01-22 03:43:12 <Diablo-D3> Florian Mueller, a known Microsoft shill, on the payroll and everything, and is known to say absolute bullshit about open source and Linux and anyone else Microsoft hates
262 2011-01-22 03:43:23 <Diablo-D3> (and since he works for Microsoft, websites and magazines repeat him)
263 2011-01-22 03:43:54 <Diablo-D3> just got caught lying about Android shipping "stolen" files from Oracle

265 2011-01-22 03:44:10 <Diablo-D3> his masters will be displeased
266 2011-01-22 03:44:15 <ArtForz> the big question really is, can botnets beat clusters of ATI GPUs
267 2011-01-22 03:44:47 <niekie> Would also depends on if the botnets would be using GPUs too :)
268 2011-01-22 03:44:48 <luke-jr> ArtForz: of course
269 2011-01-22 03:44:50 <niekie> depend*
270 2011-01-22 03:44:57 <andrew12> and the size of the botnet
271 2011-01-22 03:44:57 <luke-jr> niekie: no reason to doubt it
272 2011-01-22 03:45:01 <ArtForz> luke-jr: based on.. .what?
273 2011-01-22 03:45:09 <luke-jr> ArtForz: botnet victims have GPUs :p
274 2011-01-22 03:45:14 <ArtForz> ... so?
275 2011-01-22 03:45:23 <andrew12> luke-jr: what makes you so sure?
276 2011-01-22 03:45:25 <luke-jr> and if we're using cost/Mh, botnets also have no cost
277 2011-01-22 03:45:42 <ArtForz> managing the whole thing, getting new zombies, ... is free?
278 2011-01-22 03:45:54 <luke-jr> afaik
279 2011-01-22 03:46:20 <andrew12> hmm
280 2011-01-22 03:46:31 * andrew12 goes off and sets up a botnet
281 2011-01-22 03:46:33 <luke-jr> but then, i've never run a botnet
282 2011-01-22 03:46:34 <ArtForz> you'd also need to run your own "pool server", and risk getting it taken down pretty quickly
283 2011-01-22 03:46:34 <andrew12> kidding :p
284 2011-01-22 03:46:45 <luke-jr> ArtForz: not necessarily
285 2011-01-22 03:46:53 <andrew12> ArtForz: you could just have the botnet automatically send generated blocks to an address
286 2011-01-22 03:46:57 <luke-jr> exactly
287 2011-01-22 03:47:03 * niekie is in slush's "botnet" :P
288 2011-01-22 03:47:07 <andrew12> haha
289 2011-01-22 03:47:15 <luke-jr> or even, give the botnet enough info to guess at addresses you can generate
290 2011-01-22 03:47:18 <andrew12> it's not a botnet really
291 2011-01-22 03:47:30 <niekie> Depends on how you define a botnet.
292 2011-01-22 03:47:42 <ArtForz> that sounds like a really bad idea
293 2011-01-22 03:47:45 <andrew12> niekie: in that case, freenode is a botnet
294 2011-01-22 03:47:46 <andrew12> kthx
295 2011-01-22 03:47:51 <niekie> It's a number of nodes contacting a central command node, with the central command node giving them out work.
296 2011-01-22 03:48:18 <niekie> andrew12: does Freenode give the users that connect to it work? :)
297 2011-01-22 03:48:28 <andrew12> yes
298 2011-01-22 03:48:31 <andrew12> parsing the damn /list
299 2011-01-22 03:48:36 <niekie> LOL
300 2011-01-22 03:48:43 <ArtForz> if you don't use some kind of centralized system, you're betting that a zombie that finds a block doesn't die before the 120 blocks before it can send the result have elapsed
301 2011-01-22 03:49:18 <luke-jr> ArtForz: nope
302 2011-01-22 03:49:24 <ArtForz> yep
303 2011-01-22 03:49:45 <niekie> It can send other nodes the result.
304 2011-01-22 03:49:55 <luke-jr> mr. zombie can assign the generation destination to its known owner address
305 2011-01-22 03:49:56 <niekie> Probably even crypt it to a perpetrator's public key.
306 2011-01-22 03:49:59 <andrew12> niekie: bitcoin is a botnet
307 2011-01-22 03:50:24 <niekie> My face is a botnet. :(
308 2011-01-22 03:50:32 <theymos> I always thought a botnet tied into Freenet would be a good idea. The owner could send work and addresses through Freenet as a USK.
309 2011-01-22 03:51:14 <luke-jr> â¦
310 2011-01-22 03:51:26 <luke-jr> would it be illegal to reverse-infect a botnet?
311 2011-01-22 03:51:30 <ArtForz> yes
312 2011-01-22 03:51:35 <ArtForz> I also suspect you won't get much hashrate from a vast majority of your zombies
313 2011-01-22 03:51:44 <ArtForz> machines with decent GPUs are kinda rare
314 2011-01-22 03:51:46 <luke-jr> eg, pick a random botnet that's attacking me and exploit its chain of command to do my bidding? XD
315 2011-01-22 03:56:59 <lfm> luke-jr that makes you just as bad as the original botmaster as well as likely to incur his wrath
316 2011-01-22 03:57:30 <luke-jr> lfm: even if I included a disinfectant? :P
317 2011-01-22 03:58:15 <lfm> what do you mean, your not going to try to mine with the boitnet? whats the point?
318 2011-01-22 03:58:47 <ArtForz> luke-jr: people are doing that, huge mess
319 2011-01-22 03:58:58 <luke-jr> ArtForz: ?
320 2011-01-22 03:59:24 <ArtForz> plenty botnets try to remove their competitors from infected machines
321 2011-01-22 03:59:57 <luke-jr> lfm: I mean, a program that kills the botnet, then prompts each ex-victim "I just cleaned a virus for you. In exchange, I would like you to contribute your idle CPU/GPU time to cover my expenses. This is completely voluntary. Yes/no?"
322 2011-01-22 04:00:06 <luke-jr> ArtForz: O.o
323 2011-01-22 04:01:00 <noagendamarket> if you have a room full of douchebags it is a twatnet
324 2011-01-22 04:01:00 <noagendamarket> lol
325 2011-01-22 04:01:19 <Kiba> noagendamarket: yo. check your email
326 2011-01-22 04:01:48 <lfm> so basiclly you're looking for idiots to help you, they allow their machine to get infested first then allow some annoymous person to use it some mopre later
327 2011-01-22 04:02:31 <noagendamarket> Kiba will do
328 2011-01-22 04:02:58 <ArtForz> rofl, just had a fun idea
329 2011-01-22 04:03:26 <ArtForz> create a bitcoin mining "GPU stability test"
330 2011-01-22 04:04:04 <tcatm> Could work, just add some fancy gfx like furmark
331 2011-01-22 04:04:42 <tcatm> Or something matrix style with nonces flying across the screen
332 2011-01-22 04:04:59 <luke-jr> "Miningware"
333 2011-01-22 04:05:14 <ArtForz> well, it does exactly what it says on the box
334 2011-01-22 04:05:17 <luke-jr> new form of Adware
335 2011-01-22 04:05:18 <luke-jr> :p
336 2011-01-22 04:05:20 <tcatm> You could even offer them a few BTCs reward
337 2011-01-22 04:05:40 <ArtForz> yep
338 2011-01-22 04:05:45 grondilu has joined
339 2011-01-22 04:05:49 <lfm> you gotta hope the whitehats dont notice the net connections
340 2011-01-22 04:06:15 <ArtForz> why? It's in the EULA ;)
341 2011-01-22 04:06:40 * grondilu 's just started an auction for a gold coin on biddingond : http://www.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=246
342 2011-01-22 04:06:42 <tcatm> It doesn't do anything evil and stresstests GPUs fairly good.
343 2011-01-22 04:06:44 <ArtForz> "automatically sends test results to central server"
344 2011-01-22 04:07:11 <Kiba> noagendamarket: also, iframe info stuffi s wrong.
345 2011-01-22 04:07:32 <andrew12> "bitcoin isn't shiny enough"
346 2011-01-22 04:07:46 <ArtForz> create stats pages and a top10 list of highest hash/s / runtime / ... and watch the OCers get into a epeen contest

348 2011-01-22 04:07:59 * Kiba knows what's he doing somehow
349 2011-01-22 04:08:51 * Kiba get giddy about getting paid for his work
350 2011-01-22 04:11:34 <theymos> I once read a really interesting paper about a hypothetical virus that threatens to send your sensitive files to everyone in your contacts list if you don't manually spread the virus to x computers. The paper also described how the virus might contact your friends and offer them the opportunity to see your files in return for spreading the virus.
351 2011-01-22 04:13:05 <theymos> Here it is: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/gdane/papers/devil.pdf
352 2011-01-22 04:13:08 <lfm> how can it tell what files are "sensitive"
353 2011-01-22 04:13:15 <Kiba> noagendamarket: did ya sent me the bitcoin?
354 2011-01-22 04:19:38 <nevezen> that is nowhere as interesting as parasitic computing..

356 2011-01-22 04:22:44 <hacim> i wonder how I can calculate when pooled mining isn't as worth it as running solo

360 2011-01-22 04:29:30 <noagendamarket> the contact form seems to be working
361 2011-01-22 04:30:13 <Keefe> hacim: how would you define that?
362 2011-01-22 04:30:24 <Keefe> in the long run, both ways get the same result
363 2011-01-22 04:31:04 <hacim> Keefe: well, if I can get a block by myself every day, I'd get 50 coins a day, but would my shares be the same per day?
364 2011-01-22 04:31:11 <Keefe> about the same
365 2011-01-22 04:32:04 <Keefe> um, what do you mean exactly by "shares be the same per day"?
366 2011-01-22 04:32:19 <[Noodles]> just set your account-threshold to 50 and see if it works out
367 2011-01-22 04:32:20 <Keefe> one day be the same as another day?
368 2011-01-22 04:32:25 <hacim> i mean my mining payout being the same as if I were to do them individually
369 2011-01-22 04:32:39 <Keefe> it's the same on average
370 2011-01-22 04:32:50 <hacim> ie. if I could generate 1 block per day i'd get 50btc. if I was doing pooling mining, then I should also get 50btc per day
371 2011-01-22 04:33:04 <Keefe> yes, on avergage
372 2011-01-22 04:33:17 <hacim> so it doesn't matter which I use
373 2011-01-22 04:33:19 <lfm> there is slightly more overhead for pools
374 2011-01-22 04:33:38 <Keefe> lfm: how so? i thought the major pools currently don't take a cut?
375 2011-01-22 04:33:56 <lfm> I mean network delays and such
376 2011-01-22 04:34:23 <hacim> i dont think i've ever run a gpu miner that wasn't part of the pool... where would I point it at?
377 2011-01-22 04:34:47 <lfm> point it at a bitcoind on your own machine
378 2011-01-22 04:35:19 <Keefe> hacim: let's say i offered you $1 every time you flip a coin and get heads, and i offer you $3 every time you roll a 6-sided die and get a 6. which is better?
379 2011-01-22 04:36:21 <hacim> well with a pool your payout is amoritized over time
380 2011-01-22 04:36:43 * Kiba jumps in happiness
381 2011-01-22 04:37:02 <Keefe> = $1/head
382 2011-01-22 04:38:09 <Keefe> pool latency... ya that makes a slight difference. the cost of smoother payouts
383 2011-01-22 04:39:15 <Keefe> if it adds another 100ms, you lose about 0.016% on average
384 2011-01-22 04:39:50 <Keefe> small price to pay
385 2011-01-22 04:40:05 <Keefe> potential downtime is another issue
386 2011-01-22 04:40:31 <Keefe> in a pool, you're exposed to both downtime of your own net conn and the pool's
387 2011-01-22 04:41:10 <lfm> and downtime for 2 isps
388 2011-01-22 04:41:22 <hacim> lfm: ah ok, so just point it at localhost with the rpc u/p
389 2011-01-22 04:41:34 <Keefe> 0.016% of 50/day for a year = 3 btc/yr
390 2011-01-22 04:41:38 <lfm> hacim ya
391 2011-01-22 04:42:32 * Kiba improves his library of content
392 2011-01-22 04:43:03 <Kiba> hmm, I remember trading at 6 cents
393 2011-01-22 04:43:24 <Keefe> so do i
394 2011-01-22 04:43:36 <Keefe> but i didn't keep any back then
395 2011-01-22 04:53:17 <hacim> well, i'll try doing it on my own for a little bit as according to the pooled mining i found a block today and received 2btc payout, i would like to try to find one on my own and get 50 ;)

399 2011-01-22 04:57:37 <[Noodles]> the whole point of the pool is, that you also get your ~2btc when you don't find a block
400 2011-01-22 05:01:11 testtest has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
401 2011-01-22 05:12:22 <Keefe> and if you got 2btc for a day's mining, you aren't likely to find blocks on your own more often than every 25 days on average
402 2011-01-22 05:16:59 <[Noodles]> said it be on average, it might also take 50days or even longer without getting anything ^.^
403 2011-01-22 05:17:23 <[Noodles]> but he said he's on a 5870, didn't he?
404 2011-01-22 05:17:59 <[Noodles]> that should be more like a block in 3days or so
405 2011-01-22 05:19:36 <lfm> it it might get 2 blocks in 1 minute
406 2011-01-22 05:19:48 <[Noodles]> or 2weeks without one

408 2011-01-22 05:29:03 * luke-jr wonders how pissed off people would be if someone found a way to cheat mining
409 2011-01-22 05:29:39 <lfm> depends how hard it would be to fix
410 2011-01-22 05:31:48 <luke-jr> haha
411 2011-01-22 05:32:25 <luke-jr> it would be plenty hard if the cheater didn't tell you how
412 2011-01-22 05:32:38 <luke-jr> eg, just claimed he built a GPU farm
413 2011-01-22 05:33:40 <noagendamarket> how could he claim it and not prove it?
414 2011-01-22 05:35:05 <Keefe> outside a pool, you first have to notice a big increase in apparent network power, then figure out where it's coming from and if it's from a single source
415 2011-01-22 05:35:31 <Keefe> then have reason to suspect it's not just a massive gpu farm
416 2011-01-22 05:36:01 <Keefe> before you can start investigating
417 2011-01-22 05:36:42 <Keefe> and the burden of proof is on everyone else to prove it's not just a massive cluster

524 2011-01-22 16:10:46 <fauno> i've packaged bitcoind for archlinux http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=41385
525 2011-01-22 16:14:30 <fauno> just a question, though. how can i see my address via json-rpc?
526 2011-01-22 16:14:41 <fauno> or should i generate one myself?

529 2011-01-22 16:25:31 <niekie> You can do a getnewaddress JSON-RPC call AFAIK :)
530 2011-01-22 16:25:40 <niekie> Been a long while since I've worked with the JSON-RPC API.
531 2011-01-22 16:29:15 <fauno> niekie: :) i did that. but i can't guess a method to see it
532 2011-01-22 16:29:27 <fauno> getinfo doesn't show it
533 2011-01-22 16:29:50 <niekie> Hehe.
534 2011-01-22 16:30:06 <niekie> Oh well, I'm sure someone will eventually show up with more knowledge of the current API than me.
535 2011-01-22 16:30:19 <fauno> ok :D
536 2011-01-22 16:30:36 <luke-jr> fauno: it returns the address

541 2011-01-22 16:45:55 andrew12 has joined
542 2011-01-22 16:46:24 <andrew12> the nonce is the only thing that changes when trying to find a hash, right?
543 2011-01-22 16:47:12 <sipa> during the inner loop of the mining process, yes
544 2011-01-22 16:47:52 <andrew12> why not have a pool where each client uses a certain range of numbers?
545 2011-01-22 16:48:43 <sipa> why would you+
546 2011-01-22 16:48:49 lucky has joined
547 2011-01-22 16:48:52 <andrew12> so that the work is really divided
548 2011-01-22 16:49:00 <sipa> does that matter?
549 2011-01-22 16:49:07 <andrew12> yes?
550 2011-01-22 16:49:16 <sipa> i don't see the advantage
551 2011-01-22 16:50:03 <andrew12> sigh
552 2011-01-22 16:50:08 <andrew12> nevermind :P
553 2011-01-22 16:50:12 <sipa> please, explain
554 2011-01-22 16:50:29 <andrew12> i'm probably wrong anyway and its hardfor me to type on this keyboard
555 2011-01-22 16:50:43 <sipa> :)
556 2011-01-22 16:51:06 <andrew12> i justthink that if the range of numbers were divided, the pools would be more like working together
557 2011-01-22 16:51:30 <andrew12> i mean it might not have any advantage, but there's no way to know until it's tried :P
558 2011-01-22 16:51:37 <sipa> but the possible space of values to hash is infinite
559 2011-01-22 16:51:44 <sipa> it doesn't matter who tries what
560 2011-01-22 16:52:00 <andrew12> er
561 2011-01-22 16:52:07 <andrew12> its notinfinite
562 2011-01-22 16:52:09 <andrew12> 2^32
563 2011-01-22 16:52:31 <sipa> the space of nonces for a given set of transactions and timestamp is 2^32
564 2011-01-22 16:52:41 <sipa> but you can change the timestamp every second
565 2011-01-22 16:52:58 <sipa> and include arbitrary strings in the coinbase inside the transaction itself
566 2011-01-22 16:53:07 <andrew12> oh
567 2011-01-22 16:53:09 <andrew12> i guess that's true
568 2011-01-22 16:53:30 <sipa> so as long as 1) everyone is busy 2) everyone uses the latest block and 3) no two people work on the same hash, it doesn't matter who tries what
569 2011-01-22 16:53:34 <andrew12> finding a hash would be much easier if it was just hashinga nonce :P
570 2011-01-22 16:55:30 <andrew12> but nooo. you need to have the version, the previous hash, the merkle root, the timestamp, the target, THEN the nonce.
571 2011-01-22 16:56:01 <sipa> and they're all necessary :)
572 2011-01-22 16:56:16 <sipa> maybe the target isn't
573 2011-01-22 16:56:21 <andrew12> hehe

577 2011-01-22 17:02:27 <ArtForz> yes
578 2011-01-22 17:02:31 <sipa> 900kH/s per core?
579 2011-01-22 17:02:35 <sipa> or in total
580 2011-01-22 17:02:44 <sipa> it seems low even for one core, actually
581 2011-01-22 17:02:49 <ArtForz> yep
582 2011-01-22 17:03:38 <ArtForz> SB should be able to get well > 2Mh/s/core
583 2011-01-22 17:04:45 <ArtForz> internal miner -4way detection might not properly recognize SB

602 2011-01-22 17:11:19 <luke-jr> Quad 3.1 GHz SB
603 2011-01-22 17:11:47 <ineedmoney> underclocked?
604 2011-01-22 17:11:57 <ineedmoney> oh the turbo is 3.4
605 2011-01-22 17:12:20 <ineedmoney> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Media_Interface cool
606 2011-01-22 17:12:21 <molecular> ineedmoney, first intel xeon was released in 1998
607 2011-01-22 17:12:36 <ineedmoney> molecular: well the server was covered in dust and grime, so I assumed the worst
608 2011-01-22 17:12:57 <ineedmoney> molecular: and it had some older parts in it, like luke-jr here
609 2011-01-22 17:13:27 <luke-jr> â¦
610 2011-01-22 17:13:29 <luke-jr> Sandy Bridge is brand new
611 2011-01-22 17:13:42 <ineedmoney> luke-jr: I'm talking about the lancelot server I used to own
612 2011-01-22 17:13:59 <molecular> ineedmoney, sorry, had to look this up. times tend to get confused in my head
613 2011-01-22 17:13:59 <molecular> ineedmoney, wasn't trying to be a smartass ;|
614 2011-01-22 17:14:06 <ineedmoney> yes yes
615 2011-01-22 17:14:21 <ineedmoney> molecular: is very smart
616 2011-01-22 17:14:37 <ineedmoney> sometimes
617 2011-01-22 17:15:43 <ineedmoney> so the main problem with #bitcoin-dev is... lack of dedicated hardware
618 2011-01-22 17:15:59 <ineedmoney> I wanna install a bitcoind on my linksys wrt54G v4
619 2011-01-22 17:16:06 <andrew12> hah
620 2011-01-22 17:16:14 <andrew12> good luck getting the block chain to fit on it
621 2011-01-22 17:16:26 <ineedmoney> andrew12: block chain can be stored off-site
622 2011-01-22 17:16:32 <ineedmoney> andrew12: also seen hacks to use USB storage on em
623 2011-01-22 17:16:35 <andrew12> i guess that's true
624 2011-01-22 17:16:36 <andrew12> yeah
625 2011-01-22 17:16:43 <andrew12> i have a wrt320n with dd-wrt
626 2011-01-22 17:17:05 <andrew12> and a d-link that cant run dd-wrt
627 2011-01-22 17:17:08 <ineedmoney> andrew12: I just want it to handle the actual trade data, so it can be a node in places where theres no other nodes
628 2011-01-22 17:17:12 <andrew12> i dont use the d-link though :p
629 2011-01-22 17:17:16 <andrew12> ineedmoney: haha
630 2011-01-22 17:17:26 <ineedmoney> andrew12: I'll shoot it into space or something
631 2011-01-22 17:17:32 <ineedmoney> andrew12: and charge a huge fee
632 2011-01-22 17:17:37 <andrew12> wat
633 2011-01-22 17:17:45 <ineedmoney> andrew12: economics...
634 2011-01-22 17:17:47 <andrew12> the dlink?
635 2011-01-22 17:17:56 <ineedmoney> andrew12: customized bitcoind hardware
636 2011-01-22 17:18:00 <andrew12> oh
637 2011-01-22 17:18:01 <andrew12> lol.
638 2011-01-22 17:18:09 <ineedmoney> andrew12: I have someone working on it now
639 2011-01-22 17:18:20 * ineedmoney doesn't like to get his hands dirty.
640 2011-01-22 17:18:29 <andrew12> write a bitcoind in ruby gogogo
641 2011-01-22 17:18:32 <andrew12> or java
642 2011-01-22 17:18:36 <andrew12> or something that's portable
643 2011-01-22 17:18:36 <ineedmoney> ruby java lmao
644 2011-01-22 17:18:36 <andrew12> lol
645 2011-01-22 17:18:50 <ineedmoney> why would i want that
646 2011-01-22 17:19:01 <ineedmoney> I want code that only works for me, with no comments in it, that I will never share with the rest of the world
647 2011-01-22 17:19:02 <andrew12> so i can run bitcoind on my phone :P
648 2011-01-22 17:19:11 <andrew12> haha
649 2011-01-22 17:19:24 <ineedmoney> andrew12: capitalism...
650 2011-01-22 17:19:31 <andrew12> my BRAIN is my documentation!
651 2011-01-22 17:19:40 <ineedmoney> andrew12: mine too
652 2011-01-22 17:19:58 <ineedmoney> andrew12: I can look back on code from a year ago and be like "yep, I was high as fuck when I wrote this"
653 2011-01-22 17:20:19 <andrew12> heh
654 2011-01-22 17:20:39 <andrew12> i can look at code i write a year ago and understand why i switched languages
655 2011-01-22 17:20:47 <ineedmoney> andrew12: yeah yeah yeah
656 2011-01-22 17:21:00 <ineedmoney> ruby and java do not appeal to me
657 2011-01-22 17:21:11 <ineedmoney> inefficient
658 2011-01-22 17:21:17 <andrew12> how so?
659 2011-01-22 17:21:25 <ineedmoney> well java is just obvious
660 2011-01-22 17:21:32 <ineedmoney> and ruby is more of a hobbyist language
661 2011-01-22 17:21:37 <andrew12> sure
662 2011-01-22 17:21:47 <andrew12> valid points :p

850 2011-01-22 19:35:25 <sipa> 650MH/s is quite a lot for a 5970
851 2011-01-22 19:35:43 <BitCoinz> its not :)
852 2011-01-22 19:35:54 <sipa> what clock speed?
853 2011-01-22 19:35:59 <BitCoinz> 880
854 2011-01-22 19:36:07 <sipa> ok, what temperature? :)
855 2011-01-22 19:36:18 <BitCoinz> around 85
856 2011-01-22 19:36:41 <sipa> serious cooling, in that case
857 2011-01-22 19:37:06 <luke-jr> BitCoinz: can I have one?
858 2011-01-22 19:37:12 <BitCoinz> not with enough distance between them :)
859 2011-01-22 19:37:22 <necrodearia> BitCoinz, How did you manage to get avg 650Mhash/sec from a single 5970 when ArtForz only gets 600Mhash/sec using his currently proprietary and leading gpu miner?
860 2011-01-22 19:37:27 <BitCoinz> luke-jr, one? 1 BTC?
861 2011-01-22 19:37:43 <luke-jr> BitCoinz: sure. but I meant one of them video cards
862 2011-01-22 19:38:09 <sipa> necrodearia: i guess art doesn't overclock that much
863 2011-01-22 19:38:14 <necrodearia> mm
864 2011-01-22 19:38:25 <BitCoinz> Art knows it is possible :)
865 2011-01-22 19:38:31 <sipa> i'm sure he does
866 2011-01-22 19:38:42 <BitCoinz> :P
867 2011-01-22 19:38:49 <BitCoinz> yeah very sure
868 2011-01-22 19:38:51 <ThomasV_> they are going to melt
869 2011-01-22 19:38:58 <BitCoinz> he is a hot man xd
870 2011-01-22 19:39:06 <sipa> at 85 degrees they won't melt
871 2011-01-22 19:39:14 <BitCoinz> indeed
872 2011-01-22 19:40:24 <BitCoinz> but is was just kidding...i have only 2 cards running @ the mentioned speed and temperatures
873 2011-01-22 19:40:52 <luke-jr> phew
874 2011-01-22 19:41:11 <ThomasV_> so you get 650MH/s with just 2 cards ? :-)
875 2011-01-22 19:41:21 <BitCoinz> its just a question keeping me busy how to build such a monsterious system :)
876 2011-01-22 19:41:27 <BitCoinz> for real
877 2011-01-22 19:42:17 <BitCoinz> no...with 2 cards.. 1,3 ghash

882 2011-01-22 19:45:25 <BitCoinz> *aproximately
883 2011-01-22 19:46:17 <BitCoinz> but the newest 5970 runs standard with 850 mhz
884 2011-01-22 19:46:55 <BitCoinz> instead of the 725 with the older types
885 2011-01-22 19:47:34 <BitCoinz> its just their price...over 800 euri ;)

908 2011-01-22 20:31:05 <[Noodles]> you don't need to run bitcoind on all of your clients, just use miners that all connect to a single getwork-node (set rpcallowip=<clientip> in bitcoin.conf)

910 2011-01-22 20:31:54 <Sthebig> How do I allow all IPs to connect? (Or all on my home network)
911 2011-01-22 20:32:50 <Sthebig> Or am I thinking of this wrong?
912 2011-01-22 20:33:25 <[Noodles]> rpcallowip=192.168.1.* should work
913 2011-01-22 20:33:57 <Sthebig> I run one bitcoind on my machine here, then workers that all point to that machine, correct? A bit like the setup for slush's pool?
914 2011-01-22 20:34:07 <[Noodles]> correct
915 2011-01-22 20:34:19 <[Noodles]> actually same setup as slush's pool
916 2011-01-22 20:34:52 <Sthebig> Okay, cool. That was kinda what I was going for, minus the distribution of coins to other addresses (since I control all of these machines)
917 2011-01-22 20:34:53 <[Noodles]> only slush has his pool-proxy in between clients and node
918 2011-01-22 20:35:21 <Sthebig> I just wanted an easy way to generate bitcoins on all of my PCs without having to go around and manually collect them
919 2011-01-22 20:35:37 <[Noodles]> yeah, that's the way to go
920 2011-01-22 20:36:01 <Sthebig> Okay cool.
921 2011-01-22 20:36:10 <[Noodles]> it will still take a while to generate any, if your clients only use CPUs
922 2011-01-22 20:37:36 <Sthebig> Yeah. I've got a couple desktops and laptops. My laptop has a GPU and so does one of the desktops.
923 2011-01-22 20:38:06 <Sthebig> They're not super-duper powerful but every little bit counts I suppose :)
924 2011-01-22 20:38:38 <[Noodles]> just sayin', it's probably not profitable to run CPUs at all ;-)
925 2011-01-22 20:39:22 <Sthebig> Do I still need to set up a username and password for them? Or will it function without?

940 2011-01-22 20:52:16 <Sthebig> I was thinking ebay probably.
941 2011-01-22 20:52:27 <Sthebig> Or that mini-itx shop, I forget the exact url
942 2011-01-22 20:52:49 <Keefe> unfortunately all the listings for those on ebay are coming from china/hk
943 2011-01-22 20:53:06 <Keefe> for me in the usa at least, shipping from them takes 1-2 weeks
944 2011-01-22 20:53:26 <Keefe> i bought mine from ameri-rack.com for $35-$40
945 2011-01-22 20:53:38 <BitCoinz> each?
946 2011-01-22 20:53:41 <Keefe> yep
947 2011-01-22 20:54:29 <Keefe> felt like a rip-off in comparison, but since it enabled me to hook up additional 5970's making $12/day, waiting weeks wasn't an option

957 2011-01-22 20:59:38 <Sthebig> I wonder if I could get the bitcoind to run on my router, thus negating the need to have my laptop on all the time in order to mine with my home network.

1003 2011-01-22 22:24:58 <soultcer> It's kind of an unenforced limit of 8 connections
1004 2011-01-22 22:25:24 <soultcer> If you have 8 incoming connections, the client will not make any outgoing connections
1005 2011-01-22 22:25:41 <soultcer> It just doesn't auto-close incoming connections, even when it has more than 8
1006 2011-01-22 22:27:42 <theymos> soultcer: That's not correct. You make 8 outgoing connections, no matter how many incoming connections you make. Then you can have an unlimited number of incoming connections on top of that.
1007 2011-01-22 22:28:33 <theymos> It would be a vulnerability of incoming connections could prevent you from making outgoing connections, since an attacker could then easily surround you.
1008 2011-01-22 22:30:47 <soultcer> Oh, must have got that wrong in my mind
1009 2011-01-22 22:30:59 <soultcer> But good to know that someone thought of that security problem ;-)

1014 2011-01-22 22:47:08 <dooglus> soultcer: I've read in a couple of places that specifying -maxconnections only limits outgoing connections, but that doesn't seem to be true
1015 2011-01-22 22:48:31 <dooglus> I tried specifying -maxconnections=14 and it limited me to 8 out and 1 in - I think that's a bug
1016 2011-01-22 22:49:10 <HackTheGibson> dooglus: it is

1080 2011-01-22 23:42:26 <reezer> Linux (Fedora)

1082 2011-01-22 23:42:58 <reezer> Are you using 2.1?
1083 2011-01-22 23:43:05 <Keefe> yes
1084 2011-01-22 23:44:17 <Keefe> so are you saying all's fine when the env vars point to the 2.3 files, but not when you change the vars to point to the 2.1 files?
