WOW, congrats everyone, that block performed smooth as silk. One (not really serious) question though: was the payment supposed to be THAT big? Togoshi should have received something around 700k BBP with that.
I wanted to - just for fun - keep my Rapsberry Pi(s) pool mining on the main pool. But I just realized that this is not possible right now, because I would need to either get an extra CPID for every device or copy my wallet.dat to those machines, right? That's a bit of a shame, since those raspis are now useless for BBP. (For whatever reason Rosetta@home only has packages for ARM on Android, not on Linux...).
If you cant get rosetta tasks to run on them, you can copy the wallet.dat with the associated CPID over to the pi's and heat mine against the pool.
Yes, the payment looks large but its based on 205 blocks of low difficulty (IE 15000 per block) * the DC budget percentage.
Well, I tried exactly that, but it didn't work. I still have the pool error "Failed to sign CPID signature (Address does not refer to key)?; Failed to sign CPID signature (Address does not refer to key)?; " and none of the PIs shows up in my leaderboard. Do I have to perform something like podcupdate on those machines also? Or do they need an unlocked wallet as well? This would be my least favourite option...
btw: I'm really glad we are helping with performing useful computations now. I've been involved in Folding@Home for years (unfortunately without using FLDC or CURE...) and I think this is the perfect combination of maintaining a crypto currency while not purely generating heat.
On this note: have you made some predictions whether the huge downsizing of hash power on the POBH network will impact the performance of transactions etc.? This would be quite interesting to see, since once we are growing and the number of tx/sec grows, the network will have to have some serious computational power behind it. Since this is now not adequately rewarded anymore, in the future we might have to give some new incentive for people directing their hash power towards the network.
