Nov 19, The debate about which path to take has, by and large, been a healthy one, and we have not interposed our own positions or interfered in the discourse. Until today, our involvement has consisted of listening, researching and testing.
We believe that work is complete, and it is time to communicate our view in a clear and transparent manner. After lengthy conversations with core developers, miners, our own technical teams, and other industry participants, we believe it is imperative that we plan for success by raising the maximum block size. We support the implementation of BIP BIP and 8MB blocks are already supported by a majority of the miners and we feel it is time for the industry to unite behind this proposal.
Our companies will be ready for larger blocks by December and we will run code that supports this. As our community grows, it is essential — now more than ever that we seek strong consensus to ensure network reliability. We pledge to support BIP in our software and systems by December , and we encourage others to join us. Note that the companies that have signed the letter are pledging that they will be ready for larger blocks by December Some of the large Bitcoin mining pools have already implemented support for larger Bitcoin blocks, but there is still no consensus among all players in the Bitcoin ecosystem about the matter.
We too believe that Bitcoin needs to start using larger blocks in the future in order to be able to scale up with the increased usage, but as to how this should be implement is a different story however. It seems that there is new wave of Ethereum Ether ETH mining pools, but the good news is that the next new pool is not operated by some unknown entity, but is instead launched by Suprnova. This means a familiar interface for miners that requires registration, but if you already have one for any of the other Supernova pools you can also use it for their Ethereum pool as well.
And while the new Ethereum Supernova pool is still in live beta as it is still being worked on, you can expect good quality of service and reliability, as well as response to possible issues. So definitely a place you might want to check for your Ethereum mining pool needs. The Suprnova Ethereum mining pool allows for automatic and manual request of payouts at any time provided that you have a balance of minimum 0.
The above command line is an example you can use to get started mining with ethminer at Supernova, you just need to replace the example yourworker. The above example is for mining using the OpenCL version of ethminer, for using the CUDA fork you need to replace the parameter -G with -U and you should be ready to go. If you are new to Ethereum you might want to first check out our Quick Guide on How to Mine Ethereum on Windows as a good starting point.
Kim Dotcom, the outspoken founder of Megaupload, Mega and other firms, recently tweeted about the Chinese Stock Market. The Chinese stock market experienced turbulence in late July and early August and since global stocks have taken a slide. Is the China bubble ready to pop? A significant global stock market correction is imminent? Get some Bitcoin. Just in case. Thank me later. While it is never a bad thing to have a choice between multiple mining pools, a few days ago there was just one — Ethpool and when it stopped accepting new miners people had to go solo until new pools started appearing.
We are still yet to see someone release open source code for a mining pool for Ethereum however. Since this is a brand new pool there are not much miners on it yet, so it may take a bit more time before enough people gather for blocks to start getting solved. The above command line is an example you can use to get started mining with ethminer at AlphaPool, you just need to replace the wallet address with your own Ethereum wallet and you are ready to go.
Do note that the URL of the pool and the mining address for it are slightly different. As already mentioned there is no user set variable to allow for setting up the miner hashrate difficulty through the ethminer command line. Prediction markets work on the idea that large groups of people are able to make much more accurate predictions than, small teams of experts.
Augur enables participants in its prediction markets to now put their money where their mouth is. Participants back their beliefs by placing wagers on the outcomes of diverse events, that range on everything from politics, the economy and even the environment itself. The new pool is called Weipool and offers a simple web-based user interface for mining Ether coins with the help of ethminer, you can use our Quick Guide on How to Mine Ethereum on Windows , if you are still new to Ethereum.
The new pool does not yet have a lot of miners and it is supposed to do payouts every 12 hours if your balance is more than 1 Ether, with 0. Since it is a new pool it may take a while for miners to gather and for the first blocks to get solved, so be careful and do have in mind what happened with Pooleum — a new Ethereum pool that seems to have completely disappeared now. The Weipool does have user controllable hashrate difficulty setting, so it should be suitable for miners with lower hashrate.
We have tested the pool and currently it does seem to work fine and shares are being accepted, so you might want to check it out. There are just about two more days left before the first Litecoin LTC block reward halving occurs, this should happen sometime on Tuesday, August 25th.
The total Litecoins mined when the first block reward halving occurs will be 42 million and for the next 4 years before the next halving occurs there will be 21 millions more LTC mined. The question how will the halving affect Litecoin LTC and especially the price of the alternative crypto currency is the one that miners are continuing to be asking as the day approaches.
If you want to keep a track of when exactly the Litecoin block reward halving will occur, then you should know that there is a countdown on a dedicated website just for that available. Bitcoin price has returned to its support floor for the third time in Traders must now decide what they want for this chart. The choice seems obvious - provided you understand the value of Bitcoin and its role beyond our generation.
Recognizing the need for advanced engineering to ensure privacy and protection of digital assets, the Stanford University School of Engineering in Stanford, Calif. The course will run from Sept. Boneh said virtual currency has the potential to revolutionize business payment transactions. The […]. Bitcoin price has been slowly declining today and made a tentative spike toward support a few hours ago.
Currently, price is above support but sellers keep piling in and with US traders joining the market soon, selling may intensify. So now it is time to get started with using the cpp-ethereum eth client for creatng a local wallet and for mining both solo on a local system or on an Ethereum mining pool using eth and ethminer.
Our guide is for using eth and ethminer on Windows with binaries provided only for that OS version 0. We have tried to make the guide easy and simple to follow, so that you can begin using Ethereum and mining Ether in just a couple of minutes. First we need to create a local wallet and this is the first thing you will do when you run the eth client software. But before that a word of warning, if you have a working geth installation you should know that both Ethereum clients will use the same folder for the blockchain data by default, though the contents of the folder will not be compatible.
If you want to have two independently working installations of geth and eth, then you might want to use the --datadir parameter for geth or the --db-path for eth to specify different folder for the blockchain data for one or for both applications. To generate a wallet with eth: — Run the provided eth-start.
Reason: Invalid genesis hash , do not be worried by these, they should stop appearing in a bit. With the eth client you would need to run a separate executable in order to get access to the console and be able to type in commands such as to see your wallet address or balance or to send coins to someone. In the geth client for example the console is built in and you can access it if you invoke it through a command line parameter when running the geth client.
With the eth client you need to have the client running with eth-start. You should run the console via the provided BAT file instead of directly through ethconsole. Another difference in the eth client console as opposed to the geth client is that here there are no shortcuts that can save you time when typing commands, you need to type the full commands here in order for the eth console to do what you need.
In the screenshot above you can see that we have typed eth. This is because geth has the eth as a shortcut for web3. Useful console commands for eth: — To check your account address type in the console: web3. The pool mining part is the same here, but we are going to cover it anyway for the people that are new to using ethminer.
And while the geth client contains build in mining option that can only use the CPU, the eth client comes with a build in functionality for mining both with the CPU and OpenCL the same mining functionality that is made available thorugh ethminer. Getting started solo mining with eth and ethminer: — First you need to make sure you are running the eth clint with eth-start.
Getting started pool mining with eth and ethminer: — You can use the eth client in mining mode for pools as well, just run eth-mine-pool. The example BAT files contain the pool information, you will need to enter your wallet address as well as to modify the pool difficulty if the pool supports it only nanopool does not. Have in mind that currently ethpool is not accepting new miners, so you will need to use some of the other two pools available if you are just starting with mining.
You can also check our guides for pool mining with geth and ethminer as well as the other one for solo mining with geth and ethminer if you are interested and decide which one works for you better. Just like the buying support in the Bitcoin marketplace, Bitfinex support disappears in times of crises. Consider this scenario, which actually happened to me a few days ago. You are trading on margin at Bitfinex, and on the correct side of the direction of the market… the price is falling and you have a target price set to buy, and your order is on the books.
You have no idea if your order was filled, or what […]. The San Francisco-based dispensary, Trees, wants to hook you up with a cannabis kit, so all of your needs are taken care of in one place. The company acknowledges that - with technology like vaporizers, dabs, and so on, cannabis has become pretty complex especially after a dome straight to the head. So for that reason, Trees stocks the latest tech and glassware for your blazing pleasure and packages in a convenient form.

The BM is probably going to be the most power-efficient Bitcoin mining chip ever released to public when it hits the market inside the upcoming AntMiner S7 miners that should be available pretty soon. Since its founding in , Bitmain has successively released three other generations of chips.
The first was the BM, which utilized a 55 nanometer process node size. After that came the 28 nanometer BM, and then the 28 nm, semi-custom BM chip. This means that the chip engineers have to meticulously lay out each and every transistor inside the chip. This process requires significantly more time and effort than semi-custom chip designs, but can also result in faster processing, lower power consumption, and greater density of transistors.
A well-designed full custom chip can attain massive performance gains over digital design and semi-custom design, but along with greatly increased investment required in engineer labor and time, there is a much higher risk that the chip will fail at tape-out — a very costly mistake.
Bitmain concluded through internal research that a full-custom 28 nanometer chip could greatly outperform chips built on 14 and 16 nm process nodes without the use of full custom design techniques. The BM chip powered at 0. This has potentially huge implications for the bitcoin mining industry, as it can significantly reduce electricity costs of miners.
There are other Bitcoin ASIC manufacturers out there that claim to have better and more efficient solutions or that are working on such, however they will not be made available to end users like Bitmain will with their upcoming AntMiner S7 miners that will be based on the BM chips. The AntMiner S7 Bitcoin miners are expected to be available in the third quarter of the year, so we should see them available by the end of next month.
There is no word about expected specifications, aside from the fact that they will be based on the new chips and will be capable of 1 THS at just W power usage measured at the wall or with other words more than half the power usage of AntMiner S5 for the same hashrate. The website currently has 3 different streaming webcams that you can check from inside the Iceland Bitcoin mining farm as well as some additional information and other interesting videos.
Watching at the live streams from the Bitcoin farm you may quickly get that it is not very fun being inside a mining farm as nothing much is actually happening most of the time when everything is working just fine. Coupled with new, ongoing promotional events, we hope to make this a nice entertainment channel. Harborly, a Houston, Texas-based exchange that allowed customers to buy and sell bitcoin in their local currency, has ceased trading after more than one year as the owners pursue a new opportunity.
Below is a list of all the people who have been called Satoshi Nakamoto. Are you among them? Well, on a long enough timeline, you might one day be. Heck, you might even think you are Satoshi. This has nothing to do with the recently launched BitGold. Szabo has denied being Satoshi Nakamoto. Nathaniel Popper wrote in the New York Times that […]. Bitcoin trading is slowly ticking price up as profit takers close their short positions. The outlook remains cautiously optimistic without taking a strong position until we see confirmation of the larger trend.
The waves are well articulated although the price pattern still […]. Ethereum has multiple options for clients that you can run in order to have your wallet and operate with Ether ETH coins as well as to have access to the network. This allows users to choose what client works best for them and what they prefer to stick with and can also help with issues like with the fork of the network earlier today.
There was a fix for the affected Ethereum clients released shortly after and users are required to update their geth client if they are running it. Since geth is our preferred Ethereum client software and we have been using it for our guides as well, if you also rely on geth you should update it with the fixed version of geth 1.
We have provided a fixed Windows binary in our mining package below that you can download and update on your system. All you have to do is to stop the old client, replace the old geth. After the update it is Ok for you to see an error message like the one marked in red on the screenshot above, this is normal and the error message should disappear after a while when all clients update to fixed version of geth. You are seeing the error message as you are getting connected to a peer with an older version of geth, so once there are no more peers with the older non fixed version the message alert which will resolve itself.
As this debate on BitcoinTalk demonstrates, the current rhubarb regarding increasing the block size limit in Bitcoin has been ongoing since at least in a public manner The discussion between the Bitcoin core developers goes on for 26 pages.
The most recent post is April It starts with Peter Todd, who still to this day opposes increasing the block size limit in the manner being proposed via Bitcoin-XT. I fear very few people understand the perverse incentives miners have with regard to blocks large enough that not all of the network can process them, […].
There is never any justification for calling a bottom without confirmation in the chart, yet, there are technical indications that suggest advance. In the last few days things about Ethereum were moving pretty quick and we have posted a lot of information, so we have decided to summarize things to make that information easily accessible to people that re new the Ethereum or are just starting with ETH.
It seems that Ethereum has managed to bring back a lot of GPU mining hardware that was taken offline and has managed to sparkle the interest of miners that were fed up with all the different altcoins. It is good to see that the project is finally moving forward and we are expecting to see a lot of good things in the future as well coming from the decentralized apps built on top of the Ethereum network such as Augur for example.
New code advertised by Bitcoin developers Michael Hearn and Gavin Andresen has proven controversial within the Bitcoin community. Bitcoiners are now distressed over what appears to be a privacy backdoor - or bug - in a new proposed fork. The Bitcoin XT project apparently bans Tor nodes. Pseudonymity has been a favorite feature of Bitcoin since its introduction to the world by the unknown programmer, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Whether or not Tor nodes being block is a backdoor or […]. CoinWallet, a London, U. They plan to accomplish this by flooding bitcoin wallets with small amounts of bitcoin. A proposed California law to regulate virtual currency has drawn mixed reactions from industry advocates, in stark contrast to the New York BitLicense that met united industry opposition.
AB sponsored by Assemblyman Matt Dababneh requires virtual currency companies to be licensed. The measure passed the Assembly in June and awaits Senate action. Coin Center, a Washington, D. Both groups opposed the New York BitLicense, which recently took effect. Genoil, the developer of the Ethminer fork with Nvidia CUDA support source has implemented some updates to the code of the project contributed by SP and tpruvot that reduce the load on the CPU when the miner is running.
Also the default worksize has been increased form 64 to , but other than that there should be no changes affecting the performance of the miner. The reduction of CPU usage may come at the cost of slight hashrate drop, but there is a command line parameter now that you can use to stick with the higher CPU load and get the slightly higher performance --high-cpu-load , so it is up to you to decide.
Ethereumpool is with very simple web interface for the moment, but the pool itself does seem to be working pretty well and it comes with user control over difficulty, so it is suitable even for low hashrate CPU mining users. The payout method is proportional, though for the moment the pool stats does not report the number of shares submitted by the user as well as the total number of shares for the current block being solved.
It seems that now we have another mining pool for Ethereum available, what seems to be the third one actually. The new pool ETH Nanopool is also in a testing phase with a zero pool fee while in testing period and 0. Do note that there could be issues with this pool while it is in beta testing stage, so you might want to spread your hashrate between the two currently open for new miners pools and maybe even solo mining.
Ethminer works just fine with this pool and you can use our Quick Guide on How to Mine Ethereum on Windows to get started with this new pool. There is one important different that ETH Nanopool has compared to the other two mining pools already available and that is the lack of user setting for the difficulty. This should not be much of a problem for people with more hashrate, however for users with less hashpower this pool might not be a very good place to try to mine Ehther ETH coins.
Blockchain explorers are a very useful tools for any crypto currency as the allow you to follow transactions and diagnose any possible problems when you are sending some coins or should be receiving them. You can also keep track of blocks that have been solved so far and other useful statistical information such as the accounts with the most coins in them and so on. With Ethereum things have been very active since the launch of the Frontier release at the end of last month and the network transactions actually starting to work a few days later.
We already have a couple of useful Ethereum blockchain explorers that might be handy for anyone mining Ether ETH or willing to do so in the future, or if just interested on how things are progressing with the Ethereum network. Below is a list of Ethereum blockchain explorers that you might want to try out and see which one works best for you and has all of the information that you may need from such a service:.
This weekend's official XT release was made under pretense that a bigger block size will supposedly increase Bitcoin's capacity and allow more transactions per second, cheaper fees and wider adoption. So why had the decision caused so much controversy and why didn't the Core developers just implement it already?
We all want a large scale Bitcoin with maximum participation, don't we? As it turns out, the XT developers are not telling the whole truth and are knowingly putting Bitcoin's future on the line. Instead […]. Bitcoiners are ready to change the world. Anybody who has met one of the Bitcoin prophets has heard the spiel about how the legacy banking system is no good and it is time to revolutionize the system. Bart Stephens, managing partner of Blockchain Capital, has a more modest revolution in mind - getting rid of the spam in his e-mail's inbox.
People with public facing email addresses know it all too well. A litany of spam e-mails can bombard an inbox, from penis enlargement, breast enlargement, money left for you in foreign banks, FBI, Treasury Department spam e-mails, and […]. The post Venture Capitalist P. Since Ethpool, the only Ethereum pool up until now, stopped accepting new miners everyone else that wanted to mine for Ether ETH had to go solo mining.
The good thing is that the community has reacted to this and started working on solutions to this problem with a Bounty being offered for an open-source Ethereum mining pool and releasing a new mining pool even though it is still in pre-alpha phase and there could be a whole lot of issues with it. The new mining pool for Ethereum is called Pooleum and it functions in a very similar way to Ethpool, essentially offering an alternative, though it is not yet so nice looking or with the full functionality.
As already mentioned it is in pre-alpha stage and needs some work, but you can try mining with a single GPU if you have more than one at the new pool and reporting any issues you may find, so that we can get a good working alternative to Ethpool in no time. You can use our Quick Guide on How to Mine Ethereum on Windows to get started with the new pool, just replace the pool information, the rest is the same. Like all commodity markets the bitcoin price is a mystery to punters. According to polls conducted by the Bitcoin eXTended cargo-cult leadership, the "economic majority" of Bitcoin stakeholders support a fork to larger blocks.
To what end?
