Makomk pointed this out, but I believe it warrants it's own topic (and I really want to know the explaination)


CH says the 'beta' of SC 2.0 was wrongly reporting hashes

Now he is saying it's correct

What I want explained is how something goes from correct->incorrect->correct.

Further, I would like explained how people are supposed to trust your other claims about SC 2.0, given this flip-flop.

It made the network look larger than it really is.  

So in reality the network is much smaller than originally claimed.

allchains.info has hashrate @ 28.91 MH/s.  The reality is a 2600K gets about 150KH, not 45 as client originally indicated in the client.

28.91 / 0.15 = 192x 2600K CPUs (or other equivelent quad core CPU).  Yup.  The entire SC network is less than < 200 CPUs.

It works !  :D Ati5830@deff ~92 kh/s
Exactly:
100 shares@600 sec
+100 shares @1200 sec
+100 shares @1800 sec@0 stale
Kinda wierd... = delete  ::)

Whats the problem? The first hashrate had a bug, he tried to fix it, but introduced another bug. Now it hopefully is correct... But maybe you are right, this is a big conspiracy...

It may not be a conspiracy, but if he can introduce 2 bugs in something as simple as a hashrate measurement, who knows what kinds of security problems he's introduced? Add to the fact that this is closed source, you are just asking for trouble IMHO.

Still better to try to improve something, than just copying something else with zero innovation... But I still prefer LTC than TBX/FBX :)

What's the problem?  The problem is this is MY fucking electricity that I'm spending to mine.  I pay for it dipshit - and being able to determine if my resources are competitive vs GPU mining is necessary.  Really, is a cost/benefit analysis over your head? The problem I had was his ability to correctly identify what's going on in his code, and his ability to communicate it with people using it. What I also don't understand is how working on an open-source GPU miner revealed a previously corrected bug in the closed-source CPU miner.  Also, the hashrate is critical to SC 2.0's 'CPU-only, anyone can mine, even grandma!' rhetoric. Also if CH is so negligent when finding and communicating 'bugs', the rest of his closed-source mystery becomes even more of a liability.

Right now, CH has a wonderful opportunity to come and explain, and -maybe- even restore some of his credibility.  I -genuinely- want to know the process of which his code in beta was accurate in beta, wrong in 2.0, back to accurate in 2.01, and how it was 'discovered' while someone else was working on a GPU miner.

So what's the problem? Your miner worked correctly... Is you electricity wasted because the shown hashrate is not correct? You have shown multiple times that you don't like SC, why do you mine it?

So cost/benefit does go over you head.  No, I don't mine SC - haven't even installed it.  But other poor saps do, so I'm making this information available to them.

Fix was published shortly after the GPU miner release... So what's the problem? SC support is still high, just some clowns who hate it, but are not able to ignore it  ;D

Still the number 2 cryptochain after bitcoin... Why are you so worried about it if it is no danger?

Erm, I'm pretty sure Namecoin has that slot, followed by LTC.

But I have another question:  Do -you- know the hashrates are now correct, or are you just parroting with CH has said?

Your puppies have disassembled the code, but you still can't figure it out?

Well, to be fair, the person who wrote the code also couldn't figure out if his hashrate is correct. Calculating the number of hashes you do every second is hard... you know.

He was not lying, the hashrate was buggy... Doesn't look like you understand the difference ;D

These threads really are comedy gold. Thanks BTCEX, without you nobody would even be talking about SolidCoin!

Thanks also for mentioning the new GPU mining feature of Solidcoin 2. Yes, we do expect to soak up some of the GPU power leaving Bitcoin in its droves. All are welcome to come and mine SolidCoins, even you :D

You do raise a somewhat valid point though and a non-troll such as myself should take the time to explain the story so far in terms of the mining hashrate displayed in the client:

The SolidCoin 2.00 public beta showed a hashrate in the client, but Coinotron was showing a much lower rate in his stats. The "arrogant" Realsolid assumed that he was wrong and "corrected" the hash rate for 2.00 to more closely match what Coinotron was showing.

When mtrlt developed Reaper - the new SolidCoin GPU miner - using the now infamous SOURCE CODE given to him by Realsolid, OMG! :o - he had to create his own hashrate calc based on the SolidCoin source, which came out much higher than the rate shown in the official 2.00 client.

Realsolid knew they should be much closer, as he had designed his algo to be roughly equally effective on GPU and CPU, so he went back and examined 2.00 again in much closer detail. He found that the hashrate displayed was actually correct in the public beta, so changed it back for 2.01.

The issue is now corrected, you never lost any hashrate with your CPU mining, you have always been hashing at the higher rate.

So now you know.

Confusing, unfortunate and unnecessary, sure. But hey, nobody's perfect, not even our dear leader.

Support is at an all time low.  Hashing power is less than 300 quad core CPU.  When you consider most nodes are likely CPU+ GPu mining it is more like maybe 150 CPU + 150 GPU.  It is the smallest chain and shrinking.

I have no intention of running anything linked by you, but I can assure you that this, whatever it is, was never given out by Realsolid.

If you actually had logs of RealSolid mentioning this app in IRC or any kind of "secret" hashing tool for special RealSolid Club Members, you would be pasting them for all to see just as you pasted the "evidence" screencaps from the Official SolidCoin Forum in your original post.

So um... logs or it didn't happen.

Those of us who actually hang out on IRC and talk rather than just troll with multiple identities (who could I be talking about here? You = DeathAndTaxes maybe? ::)) know that not even the closest supporters of the project get any kind of special treatment from RS, so you are simply making stuff up once again.

So where is the complete source code.  You have alluded that the GPU miner was built using access to source code.  So everyone has free and equal access to the source code?  The question is merely academic ScamCoin isn't going anywhere.

I guess you're right, the source isn't quite available to everyone yet but it is coming.

You can take a look at the reaper source code though to get a sneak peak at some of it! Yay!

So wasn't he supposed to release the source a few days ago?   Got to say I'm super shocked that didn't happen :)    

He obviously needs time to alter it to make it look like all this was intended from the start. 

So I guess this was some long in-depth discussion you had with CH when he explained all this in detail to you.
Coz otherwise I'd take that as written by CH himself or someone who knows closely what he thinks and does?
The way you know what he knew and how he felt ... and ... and ... the acolyte has had divine inspiration bestowed upon him :)

Anyway, um, hashrate ... yeah that can be a difficult one to work out ... count the number of times it did something ... in threaded CPU code ... not even having to understand something with a bit more complexity like OpenCL threading ...

Though for anyone with CH's extreme abilities to code without any peer input required and produce perfect code (at something like $300,000 a year in Melbourne - gotta wonder what that job is) - counting should be pretty simple right ... ?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy :)  Well done BTCE.

You should upload all the contents somewhere for people to have a pick through.

Wait, what did you just say?

Do you really expect them to confirm it? ;)

Yes that is/was a real path on mtrlt's PC but you didn't download anything from it. It was just a path accidentally left in the initial build of reaper.

If you really did have the encrypted source code or any of the other bullshit why would you not post it on RapidShare as well for all to see?

You can tell your imaginary "guys" working on decrypting the imaginary source code you don't have to stand down, as we are expecting the full source very soon.

Any more lies you'd like to try on everyone?

Very intersting that you know so much about how/why CH fucked up designed SC 2.0's hashing things, and if this dude has certain paths on his computer...

Just sayin  8)

I'm starting to think that CoinHunter is actually Kim Jong Il, and whoever started the Glorious Leader joke is also one of his sockpuppets...

It's not really that interesting. I talk to RS and mtrlt on IRC and they openly discuss this stuff. So erm, yeah.

Wait you talk to yourself?  You might want to consult professional help for that.

Yeah, he has also learnt the ability of bilocation - he is in UK and Australia in the same time.

Cheetah, I'll give you a cookie if you guess my winblowz username and how many partitions I have.

Thank GOD! You said(and posted a screenshot) the same sometime ago, yet you keep responding to me...

I guess you lie in everything, even on the users you (pretend to)ignore...

So ... you've never used ignore? You don't know how it works :P

Oh, that's how you use ignore? You say you are ignoring but then you press the uningnore link because you get itchy on your ass for not knowing what the ignored person is saying? Why press it then? Or why say you press the ignore link if you can't keep yourself from unignoring the person? only to make a fool of yourself? FFS, STFU...
