Nobody knows its an internal war, certainly POS is oligarchy while POW is equitable to little guys, but what difference does it make when there is a Chinese ASIC for all 10k shit-coins

Lot's of way to deploy  your gpu rigs, I use them to hack bitcoin and once I turn off all my ETH miners, and deploy them to hacking btc, it will be a blood-bath of lost coins, In the past I kept my best cards like rtx-3070 where I can make good money earning ETH, but if they come out with a bitmain ETH miner, then our gpu rigs are worthless, they already have Z-asics, so zcoins are out, there is essentially nothing left other than hacking btc for profitablility

Lastly a lot of people are just moving over to ETC ethereum-classic, as its the real deal, but doesn't have the $$$

IMHO there should be a ETH-CLASSIC2, where they fork right now, an the miners all move to this, that way we get the best of all worlds modernized ETH, but don't move to Proof of SNAKE ( rich guys controlling crypto )

Well guess what post main-net the blockchain still can't sync

The gui doesn't work

The install scripts were not tested on common platforms

Its a sw development management fiasco, who said this team had developed commercial software in the past? Bittorrent was never commercial, it was a 10+ year open-source project

Now the plotting software burn's up NVME drives at the rate of one every two weeks if your plotting 24/7, yep somebody put a lot of effort into this garbage.

1.) Fall back to the last working plotter chia-pos 1.3, all the software since then is broken

2.) Use linux, and cmd-line only

3.) Don't use any gui tools

4.) don't use any plot managers like 'plotman' they'll kill all your hard work, and reset you to scratch

5.) develop monitors for all NVME iostat, nvme, htop are your friends

6.) never try to run more than 4x plots in parallel on one NVME drive, the controller can't handle it

7.) Watch for the infamous 'mis-match' error in the chai-log for each 'chia create plot' instance, once you get that message, it means that NVME has been destroyed

8.) Watch 'sudo nvme smart-log /dev/nvmeNNN', watch TEMP of controller and 'controller busy count' if either go astro, then kill that plot process before it kills your NVME

I see now that chia-pos is saying they have a new 'killer version' ( 14), since about 1.0 of chia-plot, 'making it faster' has really meant killing NVME's more often, the plot speed is always going to be 6-8 hours, its always best NOT TO KILL YOUR HW. CHIA-DEV doesn't care about you, they only care about the CHIA IPO.

The GUI is unstable, the blockchain code is now terminal, nobody on earth can get chia-net to sync, and if you do, its doesn't stay sync'd for long.

The only thing useful is to use old pre 1.3 plotting software and make plots and then mine on HPOOL.com and make some money today.

Once chia gets the blockchain stable and sync'd ( this could take months, if ever ), then we will see. My fear for now is that the newer plotter software is designed to make it impossible to earn money on HPOOL, so there is a war, don't get involved, hold back to a working version, where the plots are supported in both worlds.

DEV is saying that when their plotting protocol is done, we must destroy all our plots and start over, the chinese now own chia by 70%, they'll not tolerate this bullshit coming from dev. The CHINESE IOU's made the price go to $1600usd, and keep it there, once the chia-dev team trys to screw china out  of its hard-work, then chia will implode.

IMHO the future is this, people  (US USERS) will clone chia fix the bugs, as its clear this team has no software management experience at delivering a software product to a commercial market. Sure they're all great influencers and marketing guys, but they have never developed software in a real software company.

Chia is a good idea, its too bad that a weak management team destroyed it. It's not the first proof-of-space coin, there will be others, we all can see the problems, so now lets fix them.

Sure BRAM created bit-torrent yaba-yaba, but it took 5+ years to get it rock solid, and he was probably long gone the people that made it rock solid were more than likely dev's in the wild improving open-source.

...

I cannot stress enough, why plot chia if you can't earn XCH? To do this you must use HPOOL.COM, they have a plotter, and a miner, I only use their miner, its rock solid, and they do updates weekly; I don't know about their plotter I don't use it, I don't have to give them my keys, I just sign a their generated public-key, and it proves I own my plots. Right now you can earn a chia every two months, with every 200 plots. If you do as your told and 'solo mine' you will earn ZERO, and then be told to delete your plots once the pool is blessed by god-chia. They're even saying your must POS to join their pool, this of course is all 100% bullshit.


HPOOL.COM is fair & honest company; the guy is western educated and speaks fluent english; its just a normal pool just like ethermine.org, or superpool.io; These guys have years of experience, the chia-team don't know shit about mining-pools, they'll never deliver anything but bugs.

Lastly the question why have for months the talking heads on youtube dissed HPOOL.COM, these are old paid influencers, by you know who. Why the lies? About private-keys, about stealing, about not trusting china? Why?

Why do they do nothing about destroying our NVME drives, why do they not care? ( chia plotting kills my brand new samsung evo 980's at 25% of warranty TBW, that's every two weeks DOA )

Why is chia-dev sw management so blatantly incompetent?

Of course he sold it all hell, he bought in at $42k, and now its at $30k, its borrowed money that TSLA used to buy BTC, it went up to $66k

He's already cashed out, if he held any of this bile, then TSLA is already bankrupt on the books, it was already in the red, the BTC was to earn cash to keep the company afloat

Remember DeLorean did this years ago to keep his company afloat, he used company cash to buy $100M USD in cocaine.

I was very careful to say in the OP to  get 250MH/sec from a gtx-1060 you need to run an NVME m2. near the cpu to get the full pcie-4x bandwidth the SSD is generally sata based and is a dog.

my understanding is he bought in at $42k, and sold out on the way down, he had the paper profit for awhile, but now he's lucky to have escaped without loss, it was borrowed money he used to buy $1.5B btc

thanks, you clearly understand the real musk

musk  & paypal is enough for me to know he is an asshole

Well to give you an example on BITCOIN there is a call called GetTemplate(), and that's how the miners construct a new block to be mined, the pools could start a block without dev providing this linkage, in the case of CHIA, the dev neglected to implement this code,

YOU understand yet?

yep, but in the CHIA case dev has explicitly told the miners NOT to use un-approved pools, until they release the pool protocol, funny is that the CHINESE had their pool running before chia was even on main-net, nobody every said you needed a blockchain to find private keys

Yep, maxwell says the same thing here how big words keeps him from sleeping at night, says to keep it low and keep it dumb

the blf is just a file, its what it is when loaded in memory that counts

I didn't say SSD, I said  NVME-4x m.2 next to the CPU, are you retarded? To create a blf file study brainflayer the xxd example is all in there its a linux cmd-line tool

If you bothered to write CUDA code and do an alloc, you would know you can only alloc a max chunk about about 700mb, early on I wanted to keep the bloom on gpu, now I know it doesn't matter having done it both ways

study the orginal brainflayer to understand bloom-filters, then 20x that because they only supported 512mb

yes, mmap is shared memory on linux, only 4gb chunks are supported, like I already said, you need to cascade two chunks

If you actually every wrote any cuda source code you know the allocation size, its documented, but you cannot for instance get 8gb contiguous on a 12 gb gpu card, its a limitation of the architecture of that card family your using

rags to riches, back to rags in a generation they say

just remember if you don't sell it, you didnt' get rich

sure lots of criminals, and con-artists have found a new life in bitcoin, now they can honestly say they have 'day job'

This post was more about the lack of BTC team doing anything, other than moving on to new & better coin, what I see is a few bots coming forward with positive sentiment, the question is what the hell are the dev's doing to ensure bitcoin has a future?  Assuming yesterday will repeat itself for tomorrow, is a long and well understood mental problem with day-traders


The problem is like doge-coin, or shib, easy for penny stocks to go up 500%, note so easy for $1T cap btc to go up even 1%; btc has hit a glass ceiling get over it

COVID 19, was a special time where money had no where to go, that's over

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

Well its here

Musk bought in at $42k, rose it up to $66k, bailed at $50k, and now falling like a rock to $31k

So all the CORPORATE buy-in of BTC has now been lost.

40% loss of capitalization in just a few days, 500 BILLION US DOLLARS lost, and more to come. ( $1.2T is now $740B )

Next test is $10k

HODL on morons, suckers; The whales, and corporations are all heading for the exits, the bag-holders as always will be the HODL'rs

Enormous pressure will now be on BIDEN to make good on all the pensions and unions that bought into the COVID rise of BTC.

But, but its green

Spend some time watch Bram videos, do some plotting ( mining on chia ), find out for yourself what's really going on, your opinion is based on your feelings, not on reality of having tested or deployed this software on your machines.

I agree they launched, but they were already long delayed, and this project is now from 2017, so its 5 years, I think they found a new finance source in late 2020, and rushed to main-net. The entire issue is the coin was pre-sold in CHINA as an IOU on chinese exchanges where it went from zero to $1600, before it was even launched ( may 5, 2021 )

CHIA-DEV doesn't even support pools, yet the chinese exchanges running the IOU scam, manage to cobble together real life chia-pools months ago.

The truth about chia? You have not a clue.

Bram&team have clearly stated their only goal is the IPO on NYSE, to be the next RedHat for crypto support; Everything is out of their hands; Most troubling is people on youtube ( the west ) are told not use the chinese pools, but in ASIA everybody is making money, and in the west everybody is running solo-mining getting a big zero, and destroying their drives.

IMHO the scam is simple; The chinese own all, they own the xch, and the pools, and bram gets the IPO, its a done deal, and the western supporters who are beta test guinea pigs for the main-net launch get the shaft.

Why is there post here? The mod's seem to think that bitcoin is an alt-coin, go figure.

Two parts here random key search of bitcoin, and ECDLP high-level math analysis to map public-keys to private.

Also going to include the OPENCL code, so people can do both NVIDIA & AMD cards for hacking btc.
Also including brain-flayer 3.0, a complete rewrite that supports up to 4gb bloom-filters ( about 150M bitcoin addresses )

Recently I have re-deployed my RTX-3070's from hacking btc do mining ETH, which is very profiitable now

These old GTX1060-3gb cards are worthless, but just experimenting around I made an interesting discovery.

Normally the 1060-3 would do about 50MH/sec, but when I put the hacking tool on its own NVME m.2. on the MOBO I found that the 8gb bloom filter was almost 100% allowing the GPU to run at max

Now I have 300M addresses from BTC that have value, placed in my 8gb bloom filter gives a false positive of one in a trillion-trillion-trillion, so not often

The 250 MH/sec is how often a private key is created ( more on this later ), and then all possible (comp/uncomp) addresses (h160)  are ran through the bloom-filter, so the through-put is really 250 M & 300M , or almost 1,000 TH/SEC address compares, but really higher because I'm doing 4 different combinations so its 4,000 TH/sec, on just one card, but I'm doing six on a rig, so its 24 PH/sec

This yields about one lost address per week to be found

For the record the rtx-3070 was doing 1,000MH/sec, but I was just running the bloom-filter off of an SSD, but it was shared, I have never tested a standalone NVME with the RTX, I could imagine they would do 1TH/sec easily.

WHat's all this mean? Well in BTC secp256k1 you got 10e77 combos, 1/2 that to birthday you got 10e36, divide that by 10e15, and you get 10e15, that many seconds tells you how often you should have a hit in real time, old calculations were on the order of  one every 1,000 days.

But on a rig I'm see way more often, because I guess for the simple matter is the napkin, is always different than real world.

So what are the tools?

1.) hack up vanity-search, which  is the best gpu solution for generating keys
2.) add the 8gb bloom filter, note that linux only support 4gb shared memory, so the bloom must be cascaded, note that brain-flayer only used a 512mb bloom, so creating a 8gb bloom is a major task in software engineering
3.) hack up vanity-search so that on every new key, its runs through the bloom-filter for every possible address that can be generated, comp, un-comp, h160, eth,...

The Gtx-1060 only uses 970mb of memory, so in effect even the older gtx750 could be used here

I spent a few years ago spending time putting the bloom-filter on the gtx-1070, but even though there is only 8gb, you can only allocate 700mb max at a time in CUDA dev, so I found near impossible to get a working 4gb bloom running on a GPU, so I fell back to doing it on the CPU.

Note in my rig here I'm just using an 2core i3 ( $50 cpu ), with 4gb memory, as this is essentially 100% gpu

I'm just sharing this cuz well its my hobby, and I have to report.

Lastly, just for the record, like the original brain-flayer dude, I don't spend the coin, I don't even own a single exchange on earth, what I do when I find btc, is I put it in a database, and watch how long it takes be spent after I find it, I have found to date, that almost all coins are gone < 1 yr, which tells me I'm not the only one playing this game.

The selection of random-keys in vanity-search is very critical, of course all that code has to be stripped, as your not looking for prefix, I use a baby-step/giant-step algo that runs through public-keys, where I have 100's of 1,000's every 20 minutes randomly search for a new key from that public hash ( of known high-value ), I do this to make sure that my private key search space is within known valuable addresses, as I'm not looking for a prefix like vanity, I'm looking for a random public address of known value. The 20 min idea, is that time try another, because of scale of the pool, there isn't much duplication.

...

Lastly, on hacking btc, I spent years working on hacking the original public-key coins hold +50 btc, there used to be 1,000's, now there are < 900, and its dropping a few per month, so there being hacked. I was very close to getting a public key mapped to private, using various techniques, but had to move on other projects. Essentially the trick is p is the prime, and n is the order, if you can get n-1, n, or n+1 == p, then you can use a linear discrete log tool (cado-nfs) to get the private-key. The tough nut to crack, is finding the p just close enough to secp26k1 p, to put you in the ballpark for using kangaroo where you need to be within 2^40

I have crack these public high-value keys, but given that I dont' actually touch them, sweep them, its just a mental puzzle and move-on, but the cado-nfs, and finding n+1 is a very difficult & tedious process, of which a few months I get burned out and move onto other projects.

Mapping public-keys ( not hashed pre 2013 bitcoin was not sha'd ) is a real thing, but it takes tremendous knowledge of graduate-math in crypto; The ECDLP is one of the most difficult problems in mathematics; There are many steps, its not like normal hacking; There are no tools, everything is roll-your-own; There is no such thing on GITHUB, as the only thing you'll find there is junk; Like they say, if it made money, they wouldn't be giving it away for free.

Crypto of itself is not 'scam', scam is human, Crypto has enabled the worlds scammers, like flies flock to feces

Which in turn, made btc become a scammers paradise, where nobody goes to jail an the loser has no redress

Like I said, btc is a scammers paradise.

In the begin, NSA(NakamotoSAtoshi) created bitcoin, and god saw that it was good, then adam&eve bit the apple and discovered they could scam the entire earth with btc, ... That begat +10k shitcoins, which also enabled scammers to descend upon the earth like locust.

Well honestly, let's talk sour grapes.

HE SOLD out paypal, with the cash, he build a rocket-ship company, and a car company, making him the richest man on earth ( for a time )

Now does he give a rat's ass about paypal today? I think not, even his partner Peter Theil moved on to build PALANTIR (CIA) now the premier 'pre-crime human tracking system' for planet-earth.

Both these boyz, have CIA handlers that helped them launch their companys to #1 status

They all know that BITCOIN was created by NSA, they all know everything that's going on.


Only mushrooms ( people fed feces & kept in dark ) believe in HODL. PPL here hate Musk cuz he didn't HODL, well welcome to planet earth, MUSK is not a moron.


PALANTIR tracks you and predicts your future, TESLA tells you where you can& cannot go, the rocket ships launch the satellites to keep the entire system watching the earth. What's a mother not to love?

BINGO, and for this reason he should be the POSTER boy for the HODL CULT?

Like day & night, MUSK will run it up and run it down, and rinse & repeat, why not the masses have the retention span of a newt.

Musk knows well that HODL and/or HATE will love him like a pavlovian dog whistle. He plays both sides like a flute.

Majority on this forum are HODL, minority HATE; But at all times they either hate or love musk; Of course he doesn't care about people, he just looks at the numbers, and running BTC up&down is easier than taking a leak in the toilet, hell he probably tweets from the toilet.

Funny they banned Trump, but will they ban Musk? No, & why? Because Musk is CIA man-child groomed from birth.

MUSK built paypal, he knows more about electronic money, than you and all the people on this forum combined. He's got more connections in the deep state than even Bezos, or Gates.

Musk is their golden-boy, his tweets are just the CIA new normal.

Palantir Company ( musk 'partner' company owned by Peter Thiel ) is the CIA-NSA database tracking everybody in the USA, pre-crime like the Tom Cruise movie.

Don't underestimate these guys. They own the earth.
