Thanks, UdjinM6. Sounds like it *might* be an approach that could be made to work then.

As far as I understand it the block structure requires pools to push big enough bandwidth to their miners that it becomes prohibitively expensive, thus encouraging solo mining. It's unclear to me how much of this would need to eventually end up in the actual blockchain though.

Quote from the link in the OP, in case anyone skipped it: A Practical and Simple Proposal: BlockPow I will propose a kind of PoW puzzle that only practically prevents mining pools for certain cryptocurrency settings. The idea is that if miners try to join a pool, then they incur in overhead and...

Another brilliant idea. :) Would still need a way of identifying discrete machines (and their hashrates) though. I think. Or engineer an algo with a sweet spot, or maximum hashrate?

Another 565 blocks from now, about 24hrs.

Hadn't thought of that, mining as a multi-stage process requiring different hardware for each stage. I could see it being very difficult getting the reward structure right though, so each kind of number crunching yielded close to the same margins, as hardware for each stage evolved and changed...

Up it every 6 months, or as needed. Or don't. The point of PoW is to have as many discrete machines as possible contributing to the total. The goal is not to facilitate miner profits, but to secure the network from attack via distribution of hash. Making it harder for industrial scale miners...

What if each privkey had a hash per unit time limit?

Thesis: The purpose of mining is to secure the blockchain and ensure its integrity via decentralised consensus. Distributed mining makes attacks upon the blockchain prohibitively expensive. Centralised mining reduces the cost of an attack and decreases network security in direct proportion...

No idea. :tongue: I think it should be system-wide, but it might depend on how your VPS provider has configured stuff too, you could try something like 'sudo nmap -sT a.b.c.d' against your MNs to check?

Well, rebooting your server would do it... Thanks for the offer Tao but I don't deserve any tips! Send a bit to flare or UdjinM6 or someone instead if you like. :smile: Hopefully The Foundation will be up and running soon so we can direct a bit of funding there.

Yes, run once, it persists. Here's the 'advanced' ufw setup, which also limits ssh connections to 6 every 30 secs: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ufw sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp sudo ufw limit ssh/tcp sudo ufw allow 9999/tcp sudo ufw logging on sudo ufw enable sudo ufw status Order of...

If you want to run it each boot: crontab -e ...select editor if asked, nano is easiest... add this to the end of the file: @reboot /path/to/script.sh Or just use ufw, far easier than iptables, here's the basics, you only need to do this once: sudo apt-get install ufw (if needed, and you may...

Rebuilt all my MNs on Sunday or Monday I think, reused the same IPs for all of them, just a fresh DRK address and a fresh masternodeprivkey. No issues. Up and listed straight away. All subsequently paid within expected schedule. edit: did it due to the disappearing-after-60mins MN bug, they had...

On the subject of debug.logs, is there any recordkeeping in them that would aid the tracing of Darksent coins?

Payday again folks! Earnings this month: 21.45786816 DRK, plus I managed to end up with 0.8615 in a change address when moving stuff about recently, so 22.31936816 DRK to be divvied up, minus 3DRK running costs leaves 19.31936816. 10% share = 1.93193681 DRK, 20% share = 3.86387362 DRK Please...

What dirty devil undercut me then? :tongue:

Should work out of the box with ubuntu 14.04 variants, no need to pip install anything.

Try python 2.7, never tried it in 3, should have specified the version I used. edit: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7942887/how-to-configure-pyqt4-for-python-3-in-ubuntu - looks like a little extra hassle to get QT4 for python 3.

I just make sure I'm only running one daemon or qt at any given time. :) Yeah I did it that way with SMUT before I found out that a local restart was only needed when there was a protocol bump. Went back to manually moving stuff because it was easier to figure out what had gone wrong in the...
