Picture
1. Make sure WiFi is enabled on the router then disable DHCP mode.
After you disable DHCP mode you may need to factory reset the router to re-enable DHCP mode.

2. Plug one end of ethernet cable router to the LAN port on the computer then the other end to a LAN port on the router (not the main internet port).

3. Open Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings (or run ncpa.cpl) Right click on the Wireless Network Connection, click the sharing tab then enable “Allow other networks users to connect through this computer’s internet connection.” Select Local Area Connection as the Home networking connection.

I support Core devs

1/29/2017

1 Comment

 
My last blog update was almost a year ago. For about the last 8 months I been running a Core node. I quit running Bitcoin Classic, XT, Unlimited.
I realized something was very wrong around May 2nd 2016 when a internet user named Gavin released a blog post about some guy he met.

Around that date I started up a project to get many more Core nodes online, it ended badly around July 4th 2016. I believe two nights before that date I got some kind of virus that got me so sick I had to go to the hospital at 3AM. Around time same time (Just 1-2 days apart) I lost the availability to purchase Bitcoin on a few websites for unknown reasons and I also was asked to leave my place of residence. I decided to shutdown my node project for good before anything else happened.

I believe most if not all the Core devs have the best interests for Bitcoin at heart and I will continue to support them.

I support larger blocks

2/21/2016

I support the 20MB block limit. #Bitcoin

— KC (@darkfur93) May 4, 2015
I been a supporter for larger blocks for awhile.
Back in May 2015 I voiced support for Gavin's increase to 20MB.
While the talk about the increase to 20MB ended a long time ago, I still supported larger blocks.

I started using Bitcoin XT when the client started to support BIP 101.
While I liked the idea of BIP 100 better than BIP 101, there was no working client for BIP 100 at the time.

When it looked like BIP 101 was going nowhere, I started using Bitcoin Unlimited. A client that can support any increase. (Up to 16MB default)

When talk about Classic started, I got excited that there was still strong support for a increase.
I followed the news about Classic almost 24 hours a day till the source code came out.

I am still running a Classic node while writing this article. I am very hopeful we will have a block increase some time soon.

If I could code my own increase, it would be something like this:
Increase 1536 kB every 52560 blocks until block 540960

Block Number 400000 = 976.56 kB
Block Number 426280 = 2512.56 kB
Block Number 478840 = 4048.56 kB
Block Number 531400 = 5584.56 kB

Soft limit remains the same
Segregated witness is a hardfork at block 426280
Reject transactions that do too much signature hashing.

This would give us about 3 years of increases. After that we can choose to hardfork again if we need to.

How to fix error while loading shared libraries libudev.so.0

5/10/2014

1 Comment

 
If you download programs for linux off the internet, you may sometimes see this error when trying run the software. error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is due to not having libudev installed, or you are running a newer version from the time the software was compiled.

By renaming the shortcut for
libudev, you might be able to fix this problem.

1. Enter the terminal.
2. Type in cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (if you are on 64-bit. I did not test this out on 32-bit linux)
3. Type in sudo cp ./libudev.so.1 ./libudev.so.0

This will copy the
libudev.so.1 shortcut and name it to libudev.so.0.

If this works for you, leave a comment bellow. Popcoin Time

Here's a list of companies I have banked with and what has happened to me as a result.

Bank Score 1-5.  1 Being poor service, 5 Being
extremely good, outstanding.

2010:
PayPal: Within the first year of joining, I had my funds frozen sometimes months at at time. After awhile of getting my account "unfrozen" my funds would be frozen again at random times.

Overall score: 3.

residency, social security card and spending hours on the phone talking to customer service, I couldn't get my account activated.
Overall score: N/A

2012:
Patelco Credit Union:
Opened up my account in person. $10 opening deposit. Got my debit card within a few days. Very friendly customer service. Never had an problem they couldn't fix within minutes. They sent me a new debit card after I used my card at a local store whos card system got hacked. Got a $25 giftcard from a contest they had on Twitter.
Overall score: 5

American Express Serve: Free signup with $50 bonus. I got a $10 discount for shopping at a clothing store. $10 check in the mail for sending in feedback. No problems with withdrawals or debit and Vanilla reloads. GreenDot banned my card number, can nolonger recharge my card with MoneyPak. Wish ATM and reload limits where higher.
Overall score: 4.5

2013:

Overall score: 1

Rush Card: Pro: Very easy to setup a account. Didn't take too long to receive my card in the mail. Cons: Fees are just as high as a bank account. Phone customer service based out of country, answers they give you seems like read out of a book. Account funds got frozen a month later, when I called customer support they said they will reopen my account, but I can nolonger use MoneyPak to recharge my account.
Overall score: 2

2014:
Wells Fargo: Opened a account online. Took about 3 weeks to get debit card in the mail, about another week to get my pen number and a
few more days to get online banking setup.
The next month there was a large unauthorized withdrawal on my account, called customer service to dispute it. Got transferred to 3 different departments they ended up freezing my account
. The next week I called back to see how my dispute was going, but they couldn't find it in the system, refiled dispute. Got a letter in the mail the next week telling me my account was going to be closed and funds left in the account will be mailed back to me. Called customer service again, they couldn't even find my bank account on file. Went to local bank branch to check on my dispute, they said it looked like it was never filed. They called customer service and got transferred to 6 different departments. All of them said they couldn't do anything on their side. Still haven't got the check or seen any of the money I had in my account. Going to check bank with them in a few days.
Overall score: 1

How to use a DualShock 3 Wireless Controller on Windows

8/5/2013

0 Comments

 
Here is a easy setup guide on using a PS3 DualShock 3 Wireless Controller on Windows.

I have only tested this on Windows 7 SP1 x64

Before continuing you will need a Bluetooth Dongle Compatibility with MotioninJoy if you want wireless support.
I recommend the TRENDnet TBW-107UB. (PlugNPlay, no extra software needed.) It can be found at Newegg, Amazon and Fry's. Works up to 30 feet away.
Unfortunately cheap dongles you find on eBay will NOT work.
And you will need a Mini-USB cord. (DualShock 3 is Mini USB not Micro USB)

Installation and Configuration:

After you have the Bluetooth Dongle connected to your computer, download and install the MotioninJoy software. [Direct Link] [Official Website (Download version 0.7.0000(testing)]

After installation, follow this guide (Connect controller via USB > Open DS3 Tool > Click BluetoothPair > Click Pair Now)

After it's paired remove the USB then click on Profiles on DS3 Tool. Select Xbox 360 Controller Emulator then click Enable.

That's it! Your DualShock 3 Wireless Controller should now work on supported PC games like GTA IV, Need for Speed World, Street Fighter IV and Saints Row the Third.

Requirements: AWS Account, AWS Key Pair, Linux terminal or Putty on Windows. Pool account Eg. http://yac.dontmine.me

Step 1: link Select the instance Ubuntu Ubuntu Server 12.10 (recommended) or Ubuntu Server 12.10 for Cluster Instances (Limit of 2 by default) 64-Bit of course. Click continue.

Step 2:  Click edit details, change type to c1.xlarge (cc2.8xlarge for clusters), save details, Launch.

Step 3: link After a few minutes your new instance should be done creating and be started automatically. To connect right click the instance, click connect. You should get a code that looks something like this [code]ssh -i /home/rawr/Desktop/keycode.pem ubuntu@ec1-23-45-678-90.compute-1.amazonaws.com[/code] replace keycode.pem with your .pem Key Pair file then paste the code into the linux terminal. (Putty how-to guide)

Step 4: When the server is done starting up, paste the following code into the Ubuntu shell: [code]sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake git libcurl4-openssl-dev make && git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer.git &&
