One side believes segwit will work, the other side believes it will make very little difference.
You're kidding me... you really think segwit won't "work" the way it was intended? It's been deployed for over a year on testnet (unlike segwit2x) and has been deployed on litecoin. Sure litecoin has precious little use for it but it's still in use and does exactly what it's supposed to. Or are you saying that exchanges and users simply won't use segwit transactions? Exchanges will jump ASAP for the benefits it provides and they do the bulk of the transactions (except during mempool spamming and then it's 'someone').

...This needs to be stopped and making 1 MB the minimum size is a good step in ensuring that.
There it is, the dumbest thing I've read in 59 pages.  Undecided

Q: And what happens when there isn't 1MB worth of segwit transactions?
A: 1 hour block times.  Roll Eyes

Well, I don't see why a miner wouldn't fill up the block to 1 MB with dummy transactions, just to not waste his hash rate, and get the next block while all others are waiting to start to mine until they can fill up a 1 MB block...

A lower limit on block size will never be a problem, because miners can make blocks as large as they want with own dummy transactions.  This makes that miners cannot play games with small blocks as they are now not part of the protocol any more, and all "relative network advantage" between 1 MB and 2 MB is much smaller than between 10 KB and 1 MB.



Moronic, encouraging miners to create pointless transactions to make big enough blocks... Let's help contribute to blockchain bloat.

For the record, by the way, it only needs to be one block to big enough to break the deadlock but it's still a stupid mechanism to secure the hardfork.
1663  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Barry Silbert segwit2x agreement with >80% miner support. on: July 11, 2017, 01:45:43 AM
that means that this segwit2x fork will activate only if miners built a block with more than 1mb? And if not the network will be stall until this happen? lol
What a crap is this Tongue
A big crap. One that I'm sure will create lots of confidence in this 40 billion dollar economy.
1664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Generated 50.01 BTC on: July 11, 2017, 01:43:46 AM
A few days ago I generated 50.01000000000000 BTC. How is this possible? It now has more than 1000 confirmations.

That is impossible using simple mining rig. I am doubtful if the amount you mined is 50 btc or maybe it is not 50 btc after all or other cryptocurrency or just another amount. It could be 50 mbtc or it could be 50 coins of any altcoins. I do hope you can provide us with a screenshot so we can really tell if the is really 50 bitcoins. But if that is really true then you are very lucky and that 50 bitcoin may not be coming from your mining but rather it maybe coming from somebody else. Or possibly somebody has made an error and sent you that huge amount. Well goodluck and congrats, you dont need to be puzzled anymore if that is really btc try encashing it and enjoy your profit.
Before you sigspam post, look at what you're quoting  - it's a post from 2010 and mining 50btc back then with a PC was easy. Now go away and stop posting for sigspam rewards.

Antpool is not to deposit it's a mining company and you need to just open account there and use your computer software to mine and you get for mining may be 1 btc per month.
And this is completely wrong too. It's a mining pool and you need dedicated mining hardware to mine there, not computer software, and you'd never get 1btc per month without a lot of expensive hardware.

Okay and back on topic, it looks like a showstopper bug has shown up in their segwit2x code.

They've hit the >1MB hard fork on testnet which refuses to accept a block unless it is bigger than 1MB:
https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/issues/65
At this point there aren't enough transactions to create a second block with more than 1MB of transactions on testnet, leading to a fork with 6000 blocks that aren't using the 2x code and the two forks not speaking to each other.

They argue that mainnet is busy enough that there will always be blocks with more than 1MB of transactions so it won't be a problem.

This is utter bullshit as over the past week I've seen my mempool easily get down below 1MB of transactions now that the transaction spam has ended on mainnet. Making a followup block mandatory 2MB when nothing forces mining to do so is a showstopper IMO.

Now they're all scrambling and arguing how to tackle it... This is going to be interesting. I might start selling popcorn.

It's cgminer version 4.7.1
Is there a newer openwrt opkg version available?


Well that would explain the breakage then. No idea about opkg versions, but additionally I don't believe any of the antminer forks remotely tried to stay in sync with the master cgminer.

Maybe you got me wrong: I mean whether there is a newer binary version of cgminer available for the openwrt platform, ie. as a opkg-package.


And as I said, I have no idea about opkg packages. I have nothing to do with their maintenance.

You are always mining at the current network diff when solo mining so any "shares" submitted are effectively considered the network diff so any rejects will be shown to be at the network diff as well. "Diff shares" is number of shares (in this case 1) multiplied by the difficulty you're mining at (in this case network diff). You definitely didn't even get close to the network diff but the software decided to try submitting a share anyway and it got rejected. You can see what your best share was, it was only 26,500 when network diff is 708 billion.

But why did the software do that? Isn't that a bug?


A harmless bug, but a bug yes. Are you running the current version?

Sounds a bit pie in the sky to me, so I guess the period of July 21 to 29 may be interesting to verify what the fuck is going on besides merely stating an intention... and do you not think that some kind of poll could be helpful to see what members think will happen?  I personally don't feel sufficiently knowledgeable to understand even how to frame such a poll.
A poll from all the clueless users here will achieve nothing anyway and most of the clued up people don't vote in nonsense like that.

We already seem to have some shifting in core by the release of BP148 code, correct?
"Core" did not release BIP148. A number of core devs support it and released it but there is enough opposition to it such that it is not in the core codebase and won't be.

Hello all.  I have my measly 7Ths pointed at pool.ckpool.org:3333.  Been here for a few weeks.  Just thought I'd say hi.  I'm a total noob when it crypto currency.  I plan on expanding my hash rate in the future and picking up more mining gear.  I read somewhere that "bitcoin is meant to be traded like currency, not mined".  Well I disagree.  I say finding a coin in a pile of blockchain must produce the same feelings that old time pan miners felt when they struck gold.  I'm looking forward to the first block.  It's all very exciting to me.  Probably because I'm a nubblet.  May the force be with us all!   Grin
Cheers,

Welcome, enjoy and good luck to us all  Smiley

Now you're seriously offtopic in my opinion (and since this is my thread my opinion gets final word). Complain all you like about the core code (I'm not a fan of its performance either), but do it elsewhere please. Let's stick to segwit2x discussions or I'll start deleting posts.
