Spondoolies-Tech SP20 Jackson Networking Issues?

Got a SP20 of eBay and set it up in my dorm room at college. Yay free power!!! Everything seems to be working fine, the yellow light is blinking signaling finished boot. Only issue is that nothing shows up when I go to myminer.io.

Almost positive this has something to do with he type of internet my school uses. We have apogee Resnet internet. Don't know the technical term for the type of verification protocol they use but its the kind of internet where you don't need any password to connect to the network itself. When you open up a webpage it redirects you to a site to log into your account. I think this is the issue. The green light on the SP20 is flashing indicating network activity but its most likely not connected to the internet.

I know probably fucked but I decided to post here just in case any of you guys have an idea. Can I do anything in this situation? Any work around? Is this even the issue? Any advice would be helpful and much appreciated.

Proposal for adding Bitcoin symbol in this subreddit.

I was reading on this post from yesterday and /u/QuasiSteve pointed out that BitcoinTalk and the bitcoin wiki have implemented a way to show the bitcoin symbol in text.

The mods could easily make something for us actually. They could style a hyperlink to show the bitcoin symbol. <a href="#btc"></a> Can be styled in CSS code as such:

a[href="#btc"] { background-image: url(bitcoin-symbol.png); }

This would replace the hyperlink with an image (the Bitcoin symbol).

What are your thoughts on this? Should the mods add this to the subreddit?

Edit: made an example of it in use: http://bit.ly/1EwX8Cs

Metaco unleashes Fiat on Testnet Blockchain ! (Open Asset Protocol)

Hey, I am Nicolas Dorier and as the CTO of Metaco, I am happy to announce the first testnet release of our ambitious goal: bringing traditional currencies to your bitcoin wallet aside of your bitcoins, and with integrated trading!

Metaco is effectively a colored coins broker bringing traditional financial institutions to the Blockchain, and making the market to provide liquidity. In other words, you will be able to trade bitcoins for EUR, USD and other assets without the need for a bank account, directly from your Bitcoin wallet. Trades take place directly on the Blockchain -- we do not own your private keys.

We provide a full fledged trading API for third-party Blockchain apps that need on-blockchain trading features -- either for hedging / investing, or for their own clients. We are effectively a broker / liquidity provider. At this time, we only release a beta version of our trading web app in order to get your feedbacks. It is a typical app relying on our trading API (hoping to open source that !). Please do not hesitate to play with it and contact us with any suggestions you might have.

Once we release our platform to the mainnet, we will announce our partnerships with licensed issuers as well as Bitcoin wallets integrating our trading technology (you will have the joy to fill up KYC/AML forms so you don't launder yourself by mistake ;-) ). Thanks to the Open Assets specification, you'll be able to transfer your assets between compatible wallets like Coinprism as easily as usual bitcoins, and trade them without exposing your private key and without counter-party risk.

We look forward to see you experiment with monopoly-securities trading until we release the mainnet version with actual securities.

Link : http://bit.ly/1fRl2wx

Since it is on testnet, you will need some free testnet bitcoin which you can find in several faucet like : http://bit.ly/1EvMaNx (search bitcoin testnet faucet on google)

Please follow up with all feedbacks and comments you might have!

n.b.: minor edits

Hey, I am Nicolas Dorier and as the CTO of Metaco, I am happy to announce our first official release on the blockchain testnet of our ambitious goal : Storing fiat currencies emitted by banks in your bitcoin wallet instead of your bank account ! (via the colored coin protocol Open Asset)In other words, you will be able to trade Bitcoin against CHF/EUR/USD or JPY without any need for a bank account. We do not store your money, because we do not own your private key.Once you buy those colored coins from us, you'll be able to transfer them on your Coinprism, keep it on our app, or transfer them on any other wallet services which will support Open Asset.We have a full fledged API for wallet provider or any service to buy colored coins from us.The best is yet to come : For trading real asset on MainNet with us, you will have the joy to fill the KYC/AML requirements so you don't launder yourself by mistake. We decided to keep it off on testnet, so we can build anticipation on this much awaited killer feature.The link I am going to share is our own implementation of a typical web app relying on the API, and it is in beta. (Hoping to open source that !)You can do some paper trading while waiting we release the main net version with the real bank assets. :)Link : http://bit.ly/1JrXman it is on testnet, you will need some free testnet bitcoin which you can find in several faucet like : http://bit.ly/1EvMaNx (search bitcoin testnet faucet on google)Please follow up with all feedbacks and comments you might have! via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/1fRl07C

I'm launching a Bitcoin Blog and to start off I'm giving away a guide to programming a block explorer with Python for free.

Hi /r/Bitcoin.

My name is Alex and I used to write for CryptoCoinsNews. I'm a programmer whose followed Bitcoin for a few years and recently decided to turn my weekend projects and writings into a personal blog. Most of the code projects were for fun and helped me to understand Bitcoin better. My goal is to share this information with others and hopefully help them get into Bitcoin.

For me, the best way to learn something new is to dive right in. The guide shows you how to read block and transaction data directly from the block chain files using Python. Typically this is data we use services like Blockchain.info or Blockr.io to provide. Because most cryptocurrencies are based on Bitcoin this information is highly transferable so I include an example for Bitcoin and Litecoin.

A Kindle version of this material is listed on Amazon for $0.99 (Literally the lowest price you can list) but I'm giving the content away here for free. If you feel like supporting me please consider grabbing a copy and leaving me a review or check out my blog and leave me a comment there.

Seeking angel investor(s) to start 45 PH/s mining farm

We are seeking $18,925,000 from a group of angel investor(s) that want to get into bitcoin mining.

We have property that can handle 13MW of power, of which 12MW can be used for mining, with the expenses for electrical cost under $0.03 USD KW/h. The electricity company requires a substantial deposit of $675,000 based on 2.5x the monthly average usage of $270,000.

With the announcement of the new ANTMINER S7 we can achieve 45.0+ PH/s.

We can have a complete build-out done by mid-November, and we have made a deal to place the miners in a hosting facility until the build-out is complete. This hosting is about 2.5x more than our costs, but given the time frame, should bring an additional $2,500,000 before our build is complete.

We currently do not have a business plan written as this does not fall under a conventional BP model. We do have a P&L spreadsheet available for potentially serious investors, and we plan to have a BP in place by the first week of September.

Based on a Bitcoin target price of $210.00, if we could complete funding by the end of September, we would reach a break-even point just prior to the bitcoin halving mark of July 2016. This is critical junction, as we want to remain profitable past the halving mark, and be fully prepared for the dramatic hashing power increase of the next generation machines.

It is imperative that we get started quickly to avoid the halving, so the break-even point does not extend into the halving point.

So, I wanna try mining. Not for a profit, but for the experience. I'm looking at amazon and ebay and looking into Bitmain Antminer U2. What are your guys thoughts on these? Secondly I don't know if I'm simplifying it too much but, can I just download some software onto my laptop and then plug in the usb into my laptop? Also best site to sign up for to mine? This just seems super cool and kind of a impulse hobby, but I want to learn more.

Alexandre Linhares explains why he is excited about Bitcoin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCBFPsWkU8 via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/1KwyiU5

combining BIP100 and BIP101

At this point Gavin Andresen and Jeff Garzik need to find common ground and combine BIP100 and BIP101 in order to avoid potential continuous conflict between miners and the rest of bitcoin’s ecosystem.

For example, instead of a strict maximum blocksize, they could establish a range - 4MB to 8MB now - 8MB to 16MB in 2 years - 16MB to 32MB in 4 years - 32MB to 64MB in 6 years … and let miners decide on the maximum blocksize inside of this range.

Alternatively, if Gregory Maxwell manages to convince Gavin, Adam Back’s proposal (2MB now, 4MB in 2 years and 8MB in 4 years) could be used as a lower limit of this range for the next 6 years.

Help me get the Bitcoin symbol added to Unicode

I've successfully proposed a symbol for addition to Unicode before, so I know the process. Finding substantial examples in running text is a key component for a successful proposal.

If you have examples of the Bitcoin symbol in running text, please let me know. I've found a few examples, including posts on bitcointalk.org and conference papers, but I need more.

Notes: I'm talking about the standard stroked-B Bitcoin symbol; see the /r/bitcoin logo. I'm aware of the ฿ and Ƀ symbol alternatives; it would still be good to get the stroked-B symbol in Uncode. Also, emoji in Unicode have very different rules; I don't think a Bitcoin emoji would be useful.

[August 30, 2015] Block Size and Hard Fork Dialog

This thread is open for discussion on block size and hard forks.

New submissions regarding block size and hard forks are not permitted at this time, so unless you have very substantial news to share, post your questions and comments here. Please read the following guidelines before proceeding:

There's a new subreddit guideline in the sidebar. It reads:

>Promotion of client software which attempts to alter the Bitcoin protocol without overwhelming consensus is not permitted.
Discussing the merits and drawbacks of BIP 100, BIP 101, BIP 102, Pieter Wuille's BIP ??? and other proposals is encouraged.
Themes regarding hard forks in general, such as what happens when they occur, how to ensure the fork is successful, and how the bitcoin network can react to hard forks which are potentially hostile, are open for discussion.
Avoid personal attacks and emotionally charged arguments.
No meta discussion.
Stay on topic.

There's been a lot of great discussion so far. Let's avoid falling back into voting cliques. They harm the discussion and will have no impact on the outcome of this debate.

Don't downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.

What happened to snapcard?

Anyone remember snapcard and Yanni? Where you could buy whatever you wanted online in bitcoin even if the site didn't take bitcoin. Snapcard had a browser add-on that made purchasing items in bitcoin simple.Now their business model looks to have changed to a Coinbase competitor.Anyone know what happened?http://bit.ly/1DeBB0e via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/1JqwAzk
