Serbian municipalities learned from Hungary?

"Few days ago, Hungarian government decided to destroy fields of GMO corn. Something more than 1000 acres have been ploughed. Deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development of Hungary, Lajos Bognar, said that GMO seeds are banned in Hungary, and that any further planting of GMO seeds will be considered a felony. Unlike many EU countries, Hungary has forbidden GMO, and is planning to make distribution of GMO seeds a felony.

GMO main distributor, Monsanto, is struggling with governments in order to get the license to sell seeds. Monsanto claims that substance which is implemented in the seeds and which is killing the vermin who attack the plants, will diminish until ripening of the plant, so that fruits/vegetables are safe for humans.
Hungarian farmers, who planted the seeds, hoped that they will be compensated for destroying their crops, but the company that provided them the seeds is under liquidation. What’s worse, it is too late for them to replant crops, since the time for sowing has passed.
In Serbia, situation is a bit different. Most known plant used by farmers is soy. Though some number of municipalities have adopted regulations about GMO ban, some farmers are still sowing GMO seeds. As one of the farmers in Serbia said: ” We know it’s illegal, but, if you choose ordinary seed, you have to prepare lot of money for pesticides. GMO seeds do not need later treatment with chemicals and that saves our money.”
Perhaps they are right, that maybe saves money, but according to some tests, it won’t save their health, crushed by consuming GMO products. Some scientific tests have shown that generations of rats in third generation after using GMO food are becoming infertile. Also, many health problems, such as cancer, are usual problem for rats fed with GMO food.

d7 poool chat

(18:17:39) beavis: np :)
(19:12:18) jojino: irish: thanks. so, basically, when I run the commands on the wallet it will "generate" interests, right? What CPU load does that require? (almost nothing I presume?)
(19:22:34) irish: I believe nothing, or very little. I tried asking the same question and never really got a straight answer.
(19:23:48) irish: But yes, with a min of 30 days coin age you have a chance.
(19:32:54) jojino: chance of 0.1% interest, right? :D
(19:33:42) jojino: but... if I have a locked wallet, and I'm minting, what happens if I want to receive more coins? :O
(19:38:22) jojino: namecoind had the option--gen​erate, I wonder is ppcoind has the same? Anyway, I have 20 coins, are my chances too small?
(19:41:36) irish: You still receive coins. It's based on coin age. so your quantity:20 - 30 day old coins have coin age of 600. I think ;o) You can still receive/sen​d coins. The generate option is there, but it's for proof of work blocks not proof of stake.
(19:43:28) irish: As to the .1% I would guess it's some modifier of coin days so that approximate yearly interest is 1%. I don't know much more than that.
(19:51:11) jojino: so, basically, it's based on average luck, just as here
(19:52:04) irish: Probably lol. I'm not sure. If you find out let me know ;o)
(19:52:48) jojino: That's what I read :)
(19:52:58) jojino: anyway, we are stretching it
(19:55:20) irish: Yeah luck turned around pretty well today. Hopefully a couple more so we balance out the 7 day luck.
(19:56:23) jojino: I loike these lower difficultie​s.
(21:15:18) Lanarchy: boo, 570 PPC = 1 BTC
(00:25:41) cqcqcqcq8539: 15!
(01:15:18) jojino: 15! = 13076743680​00
(03:33:59) jojino: I need help: I renamed a file in the /home/me/.p​pcoin with size of 610304 Bytes by an accident (Ubuntu did it)... can anyone tell me what was the name of the file? There are .lock, blk001.dat, blkindex.da​t, db.log, debug,log, wallet.dat
(03:34:43) jojino: much thanks in advance
(03:38:28) chemicstry: I only see addr.dat which is 839680B on my machine
(03:38:32) chemicstry: others >1mb
(03:40:33) jojino: ah, thank you, o, mighty god of d7!
(03:46:58) chemicstry: second part wasn't necessary :D
(04:27:37) jojino: you are the BOFH, here, BOFHs be praised ;-) ...I wonder how "BOFH" became synomym with allmighty being...
(04:51:05) daggeteo: finally some luck to compensate the last days performance​. Karma rewards the patient one
(04:55:46) mkiller88: ...
(05:14:33) daggeteo: think I jinxed it there? :p
(06:00:30) jojino: new block?
(06:02:09) jojino: This is funny: my Unconfirmed Rewards increased and I don't know why, we didn't find any new block :O
(06:27:11) mkiller88: mine is ok
(07:23:25) egwspiti: today i had an incoming transfer from vpool.us xD
(07:23:53) egwspiti: i was mining there some time ago but stopped when i read that they were scammers
(07:24:11) egwspiti: and today i had an incoming transfer from them :)
(08:00:27) avult: anyone mine ppc on a mac by chance?
(09:02:25) jojino: avult: what is a mac? ;-) no... mac operations need specific compile, I guess you have to compile cgminer from scratch, ...maybe there is a bin ready, but I'm not sure...
(09:03:59) jojino: All: is this one of those 8-hour rounds?
(09:22:16) irish: egwspiti Yeah I've had a few from them also. I quit when I noticed that they were either scamming or had really incorrect pplns settings.
(09:26:45) jojino: I'm thinking... somehow slush pool counted me 1 share even when I was not mining, it was sometimes before finding of a block. I suspect it may have been because I had connected cgminer to it, it was just not mining. What if I connected 100 miners just checking the pool, would it accidentall​y just increase my share?
(09:33:38) knedle: maybe you were mining, but you didn't notice? I have 5 computers from one location mining ob 50btc and d7 as fail safe, one of them switches to d7 from-time to time even though 50btc is running and no other computer des that
(09:33:42) knedle: *does
(09:47:20) jojino: well, the miner was completely disable, all it did was to display the difficulty.​.. and as I viewed the statistics I saw 1 satoshi worth of BTC and 1 share of a round. It may be an Intel Pentium rounding error feature (c).
(09:56:57) jojino: Oh my! Did I invent a method how aggregate 1GHa/s ona single HD7950?
(10:01:27) mkiller88: =))
(10:10:10) jojino: wait... now I think I might have been 600MHa/s + 400kHa/s ... but the cgminer displayer 400MHa/s by an error :P
(10:10:44) jojino: I'll try to combine different worksize parameters.​..
(10:12:51) jojino: worksize 64 at intensity 5 is ~3x the WU per minute compared to worksize 128 :O
(10:13:38) jojino: and it even sucks off more MHa/s from the main worker which has I=10, ws=256
(10:14:10) jojino: despite the drop in Mhash/s the main worker has the same or better WU/minute
(10:16:45) jojino: sum =641MHa/s :) compared to 620 before
(10:16:59) craslovell: are you trying to run two instances of cgminer, one for scrypt and one for sha-256?
(10:20:03) jojino: no, 6 instances of sha-256
(10:20:32) jojino: slightly different settings, 2 networks (5xBTC, 1xPPC)
(10:20:51) jojino: now luck has returned to PPC, so I'm shifting Intensity to the PPC worker
(10:57:24) jojino: Professiona​l deformation​: when you read cgminer manual and it says: "GPU 1: 73.5C 2552RPM" and you immediately start to panick.
(11:23:08) AMGOMG: Awww yea
(11:41:45) jojino: Bob the builder saves the party!
(11:56:51) mkiller88: .
(12:34:49) mkiller88: 182.3% Luck
(12:34:55) mkiller88: this is something
(12:46:07) jojino: shh, shh!
(12:46:50) jojino: on the other hand, I fail to get more than 1.1PPC/roun​d even if my hashrate is up to 630 now
(12:53:16) foober251: Im at 1ghash and i get 3ppc / round
(12:54:10) foober251: value of cryptocurre​ncy sinking tho, gotta ride it out
(13:26:16) craslovell: jojino, whats your amount of shares solved per min?
(13:26:32) craslovell: i would think you should be getting somewhere around U:10/m
(13:50:20) mkiller88: .
(13:57:07) myrond: yeah I'm getting 60-70 per block currently; you should be getting more
(14:04:20) mkiller88: .
(14:04:56) mkiller88: witch is more important U/min or WU/min ?
(14:06:20) mkiller88: i have U:3.5/m and WU:8.5/m
(14:06:29) mkiller88: .
(14:26:29) jojino: WU is the actual points, the U is the raw, I guess you are doing difficulty 4, right?
(14:26:47) jojino: I'm doing WU=10.5 for the last 8 minutes
(14:26:51) mkiller88: no 1
(14:27:06) mkiller88: now i have WU 8/m
(14:27:17) mkiller88: and u 6/m
(14:27:19) jojino: not posssible :) At difficulty 2 I have U=4, WU=8
(14:27:39) jojino: yay, I'm better, but I have no clue why! :(
(14:27:41) mkiller88: i mining with 600Mh/s
(14:27:53) jojino: 618MH/s
(14:28:41) mkiller88: in the pool settings i have set min diff to 1
(14:28:57) jojino: such a small difference is not the explanation of my rate skyrocketin​g... I had WU=8.8 at ~602MHa/s, I did some changes and voila! up to 11.5
(14:29:46) jojino: mkiller: set to min, but what does the cgminer say? "Accepted ABCD1234 Diff 1/2 GPU0" ?
(14:30:29) jojino: Difficulty minimum means "do not give me tasks less difficult than this"
(14:30:40) mkiller88: Accepted 14e19f78 Diff 12/10 GPU 0
(14:31:06) jojino: 12/10??? you have difficulty 10? :D you have some strong setup there! :D
(14:31:10) mkiller88: Accepted 06cbf37e Diff 37/10 GPU 0
(14:31:21) mkiller88: i have one 7950
(14:31:51) mkiller88: i use this flags -v 1 -w 256 -I 7
(14:32:31) jojino: yup, Difficulty 10, the stratum isn't stupid? or... maybe it is. Plus... it takes your WHOLE workqueue to spend to see any effect of changing difficulty settings.
(14:32:50) jojino: At Diff 10 it may take 10 minutes easily
(14:33:19) craslovell: you guys should be using diff 1 for your hashrates
(14:33:26) jojino: My WU is finally dropping to 9.0
(14:33:56) jojino: cras: we are, but his settings may teke some time to take effect
(14:34:38) craslovell: yeah once the worker is changed poolside to use diff 1, shouldn't take more than 5 mins and a relaunch of cgminer to correct
(14:36:07) jojino: craslovell: I believe it has to take the whole workqueue, which at diff 10 may take also 20 minutes.. I never tried, but diff2 -> diff1 takes 5-10 minutes
(14:36:44) mkiller88: jojino what flags do you use?
(14:36:56) jojino: three lines long
(14:37:03) jojino: :)
