1341  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: API functions that are called when you add a worker on: January 28, 2014, 01:49:03 AM
Nothing happens. Afaik, Bitcoin has only one user and password, the pool acts as proxy to the bitcoin daemon. The pool takes care of share counting, validation(only if a share matches the target does it get sent to the daemon). So workers is a feature of the pools, not the daemon.

1343  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pure Python ECDSA implementation? on: January 27, 2014, 12:54:26 AM
Take a look at my "MINING" thread currently to be found in the Service->Marketplace section.
There you have a pure python secp256k1 implementation in my github project.

Thanks, Evil-Knievel! No wonder I haven't found it when it's so fresh. Off to take a good look how to use it.




It was updated a long time ago to include the secp521r1 curve. Look:

https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa/blob/master/README.md

Bitcoin is Secp256k1, not Secp521r1, different curves.

1344  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Where can I get cgminer sources from? on: January 26, 2014, 08:01:34 PM
Yes, i know there are sources avaiable at:
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/3.6/
and
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.
But I'd like to know, which one to download in order to compile it under windows using MinGW.
I think i've downloaded wrong one, because I'm having error saying something about posx threads lib missing, which belongs to linux standard.
There is a port of the posix threads for Windows, search for it. And yes, those are the sources regardless of OS.

Well, the "laws of the universe" know time dilletation right?
You could cause a computer, which is accellerated to near light speed, to bruteforce for 100.000.000.000 years (your picture states that power consumption is negligable)  while here on earth only a few seconds pass by. This is Einstein's "laws of the universe".  Grin

You'd have to do the math but even if 100 billion years pass in a few seconds how many seconds would it take to count to 2^256. Probably a incomprehensible amount of seconds.
Well, bruteforcing one address in 100 billion years might be possible, in fact you may even be able to bruteforce a few more than that.

Might want to rethink that...

and

3155760000000000000ish seconds in 100000000000 years. I'll let you figure up the rest of the math.
You are thinking counting in terms of now, you don't know the technology we'd have in 100-200 years let alone 100 billion.

I believe that if you use a turboencabulator with Dodge gears you could get it up to 50-100 TH/s with very little additional work.

Read above post, the flux capacitor would eliminate any bottleneck within the Newton Barrier.
And to spare OP the falling in the bathroom to figure out how it looks/works, I will provide him with a picture

1349  Other / Off-topic / Re: Chances of someone having the same wallet? on: January 20, 2014, 09:13:42 PM
the possibility is super super small, like 0,0000000001%  Huh
much lower

My application provided a list of addresses(my list has 30k addresses) does 30 million address generations per second, all of which are compared to the list of 30k addresses on a single core.

1351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Scrypt mining pool - Algorithm to always mine most profitable coin on: January 20, 2014, 08:59:30 PM
Hello guys! I'm looking for someone with deep mathematical skills who can create an algorithm which automatically detects the most profitable scrypt coin to mine depending on difficulty, block finding chance, exchange rate, hashpower and other factors.

I'm offering 1-5 BTC as reward. (more if you help me with backend and other necessary things).
You should have basic knownledge of HTML, PHP, and more advanced skills in either C++ or C.

Please PM me for more details.
Such an application will either need an API to gather all the data, or you need to have an up to date blockchain of each coin you want to track.
1352  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why Bitcoin will win ... the speed of credit cards with the cost of cash on: January 20, 2014, 12:21:54 AM
Just one example.  http://shinybars.com/t/paymentoptions

Simplified you have three options:
CC = fast + 3% more expensive
"Bank stuff" = slow + 3% cheaper
Bitcoin = fast + 3% cheaper

Actually on a local supermarket that I frequent to it takes about 30-60 seconds to complete a payment with a CC, really slow and by the time it finishes, a huge line has formed. With Bitcoin, if the supermarket provides their own free Wi-Fi, to which their own bitcoind is connected to, it will make the transaction way faster than a CC and best part, you don't need to wait for change, you pay the exact amount and just leave.

1354  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How are coins unique when creating wallet code on: January 19, 2014, 09:59:03 PM
What identifies the unique block chains once I go in and modify code on my end? If I set my code to generate 2x as many coins upon finding a block surely it would be seen as incorrect code.

Again what actually makes the chain unique. If Joe and John both compiled the same coin code, would each be its own coin or would 2 coins exist?


Well the first thing you do when creating a new coin is changing the default P2P port as well as the magic bytes.

I wasn't sure in the beginning if OP was trolling, I had a difficult time reading this. I mean "Torjan", really?
1356  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: All transactions became not confirmed on: January 19, 2014, 08:06:50 PM

1360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A simple method to (probably) prevent big pools from 51% attacking on: January 14, 2014, 06:42:32 AM
If a hard-fork is allowed, could we forbid one address to mine more than N (maybe = 6) blocks in a row? In other words, the new bitcoin clients will reject the (N + 1)th block mined by address A if the previous N blocks mined by A.

This certainly will not prevent general 51% attacking since the attacker can change the mining address easily, but considering currently most mining pools are using one mining address, it will be useful to avoid panic caused by big mining pools. As long as the big mining pool promise to use one address (easily verifiable), we no longer need to worry about them any more.

Any thoughts about that? May I add this suggestion to the hard-fork wishlist? Smiley
Just because a pool uses the same address to mine blocks, doesn't mean it is forced to do it. If what you are suggesting is implemented(and it won't for obvious reasons), the pool will just change the address.
