121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What have they done to the Nonce? on: September 20, 2012, 10:15:42 PM
They haven't "done" anything.  It is called hexadecimal.

2504433986 = 0x42a14695 = 1001100011011011110001 = "two trillion five hundred and four million, four hundred and thirty three thousand, nine hundred eighty six"

Not to be rude or anything but this thread combined with your other thread on blockheader indicates you lack even the most basics of programming.  Jumping right into something as complex as Bitcoin is unlikely going to pay any dividends if you don't have a foundation.

You may be better served by some self study of just basic programming concepts.  The language doesn't really matter but java is generally pretty easy for a beginner to pick up.

i used the converter here http://number.webmasters.sk/numerical.php and it tell's me that "42a14695" is equal to "1117865621"
122  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / What have they done to the Nonce? on: September 20, 2012, 10:07:19 PM
In https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_hashing_algorithm the algorithm show's that the nonce is "42a14695" and blockexplorer http://blockexplorer.com/block/00000000000000001e8d6829a8a21adc5d38d0a473b144b6765798e61f98bd1d show's that the nonce is 2504433986

so what is done to the nonce to make it "42a14695"

The guy basically wants to know the algorithm to calculate the hash and then see if it's < target. Likely to write his own miner, or write a miner for the community or just to satisfy the thirst for knowledge.

I suggest looking at the very simple example in this C program written by someone http://pastebin.com/n8UEGA86

even in this data the values for these :

Version : Block version number
Previous hash : Hash of the previous block
Merkle root : 256-bit hash based on all of the transactions
Timestamp : Current timestamp
"Bits" : Current target in compact format
Nonce : 32-bit number (starts at 0)


has been predefined i would like to know how to get them..

call the "getwork" method with the client's api

(run "bitcoind", then run "getcoind getwork" and decode the json you get.)



is there an example on how to call "getwork" from your program using the Bitcoin-Qt GUI's 127.0.0.1?

i know how to add one to a number but i am asking that must the nonce be incremented or generated randomly?

how can i add one to the nonce because "42a14695" has a alphabetical character

and can anybody tell me how to compare the hash with the target?

and how can i calculate my hash without (Version, Previous hash, Merkle root, Timestamp, "Bits", Nonce) in the bitcoin hashing algorithm here https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_hashing_algorithm  all of these are used..

and how to submit the hash to Bitcoin-Qt?
126  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / How To Get The Data Needed To Find A Block? on: September 20, 2012, 06:44:46 PM
can anyone explain How Can i find these:

Version : Block version number
Previous hash : Hash of the previous block
Merkle root : 256-bit hash based on all of the transactions
Timestamp : Current timestamp
"Bits" : Current target in compact format
Nonce : 32-bit number (starts at 0)


and can anyone tell me how can i increment the nonce.

and how can i check that my hash is less that current target.

and how to submit the hash to Bitcoin-Qt

and how many zero's must be there in a hash to be a block?

I'm not going to write your program for you (unless you pay me up front with BTC).  I give up.

i did not ask you to write the program for me i asked once i generate a hash from my program what should i do to my hash after that?

i am generating the hash from the info provided here : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_hashing_algorithm

can anyone tell me what should i do to the hash once i generate it?

Not a lot of technical details here, but this is a good start to understanding the concept of how mining works:

http://codinginmysleep.com/bitcoin-mining-in-plain-english/

Once you've got a good understanding of what mining is, you can look at the protocol specification to figure out how to program a miner:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getwork



i would like to know what should my program do in order to find a block?
131  Bitcoin / Mining support / How To Find a Block? on: September 18, 2012, 06:50:58 PM
how does the miner's find a block? e.g (what is the algorithm used in generating a block)

and what is done by a miner to find a block? e.g (what calculation's is done by a miner)

and how does the Bitcoin-Qt verify that a block is valid?

and if i were to develop my own program to mine what should i do in my program?

how did you get these lifetime account's?

and will they get banned?

How did you get 21GB the max is 18GB(500MB Per Referral)
134  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: can i mine PPC while mining BTC? on: September 14, 2012, 05:53:30 PM
ABCPool.co states that "A cheater can submit only shares and withhold any blocks found. This way the pool must pay for the shares, but will never earn anything because it does not know about the found block."

how can someone do it?

can it be done with a miner?
135  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: can i mine PPC while mining BTC? on: September 14, 2012, 05:17:34 PM
is there a way to join two pools with the same hashing power by submitting the same share to both pools and keeping the block's when found by not submitting it to the pool.

NO, NO, and NO

can't any miner do it?

137  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: can i mine PPC while mining BTC? on: September 13, 2012, 07:58:08 PM
BTC and PPC can't be merge-mined as they use the same algorithm.
Is there a way to submit the same share to the btc pool as well as the ppc pool.
Run 2 different instances of your miner, each pointed at a different pool.
To be clear, this is splitting the hashing power, right?
Yes.

Otherwise I'd be running an instance of CGMiner on every single pool I could find!


is there any way to submit the same share to two pools without looseing hashing speed.

139  Bitcoin / Mining support / can i mine PPC while mining BTC? on: September 13, 2012, 02:29:35 PM
i want to join two pool's one pool is BTC and the other is PPCoin?

is it possible to merge mine BTC and PPC as they use the algorithm.
140  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / MSI 6670 MAX Overclock?? on: September 13, 2012, 08:19:55 AM
What is the maximum clock for the MSI R6670 MD1GD3

it has a clock speed of 800 and it is running at 55C

what is the maximum i can overclock it?
