What are all those large farms going to do after halving?  Income cut in half!!  Cheesy

Lots and Lots of them shutting down i would assume.


I hope it is the opportunity to buy a s9 a good price  Grin


Bitmain are selling them for like $63.00 right now

best I can do.

It is a sad day in the of bitcoin.  Still 8 blocks to go maybe it ends on and up side Cry

Very noble of you Philip would love to see a block fall before we drop reward and would probably lift the spirits of us all Smiley

10 BLOCKS TO GO!!  Shocked
384  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Creating semi-nodes to sustain the network on: May 11, 2020, 02:39:13 PM
Really we do put some trust in central servers in the codebase with the use of the DNS seeds those nodes are normally what a new node will connect to in most cases so we already have some hard coded nodes in the codebase to trust when connecting to the network  I think the above is a very interesting idea and is worthy of more discussion.  Great topic!

Less than 60 blocks to go guys!

Great to see the community spirit here come on we need 1 more block to get to 256 blocks solved the magical 256 number!!

Come on bitcoin don't let us down!

Code:
"hashrate1m": "2.5T",
 "hashrate5m": "2.41T",
 "hashrate1hr": "2.42T",
 "hashrate1d": "32.9T",
 "hashrate7d": "155T",
 "lastshare": 1589205685,
 "workers": 2,
 "shares": 67205693876,
 "bestshare": 309430998061.3869,

Still no budge from 309 Billion for me i'm afraid!

That would need to be something that could be discussed in the community if there was interest to continue under such a model of operation.

There are many a good member who has contributed in the topics over the years that I would say both have the skills and the understanding to operate a pool but again this is something we could try solve as a community to keep the project alive.
387  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! on: May 11, 2020, 12:11:28 AM
In addition, I've made publicly available the code as used by this solo pool now as well:
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool-solo

Bear in mind it expects certain customisations and I will take no responsibility if someone misuses this in the community and creates a new solo pool with it, but perhaps someone skilled enough can fill the gap with it from me closing this pool.

What about we make it a community pool? It would be a real shame to lose both the solo and main pools there a staple on bitcointalk for a lot of members and with the halving around the corner and price uncertainty things could change really quickly in the mining game and it would be a shame not to have this resource here if that we're to happen.

i'm sure a few of us regulars might pitch in to ensure it's continuation.

I will also shout 2 BTC shout from me to the lost block fund if I hit highly unlikely though,  but as above, stranger things have happened!

Also very sad to know that you will be closing the pool's CK i'm sure a lot of us really value your service to the community over the years.

A very sad day indeed.

Would it not show as a stale in his screen shot? looks like his stale value is 0

At first I thought this was going to be some edited screen shot but the numbers there on the pool to see and if it was a orphan that's very unlucky but I can't see any orphan blocks on any online stats.




I mean my luck is usually shit so when I opened the miner and saw 2  found blocks in 13 hours I was crazy excited but then my wallet only has the same 1.2 btc was like oh hell the fuck no this is bullshit on a planet of fucking garbage  yup lady luck is not my friend it would seem.

To find 2 in a row would be astronomical odds and to do so in 13 hours would make those odd's even higher.

Best person who can answer this is the pool OP as already stated.
391  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Generate bitcoin genesis block with more than 1 address on: May 10, 2020, 08:23:08 PM
Hello. I would like generate bitcoin genesis block with 10 coins for 5 different addresses in 1 block instead 50 coins for 1 address. Anybody know how to do this? Any ideas?

Add this to your main.cpp file this is for scrypt based coins but you can edit it to be for SHA256 if you require this will mine your genesis block and spit out the hash into the debug.log

This is a very old method of doing this.

Good luck.

Code:
if (false && block.GetHash() != hashGenesisBlock)
        {
            printf("Searching for genesis block...\n");
            // This will figure out a valid hash and Nonce if you're
            // creating a different genesis block:
            uint256 hashTarget = CBigNum().SetCompact(block.nBits).getuint256();
            uint256 thash;
            char scratchpad[SCRYPT_SCRATCHPAD_SIZE];
 
            loop
            {
#if defined(USE_SSE2)
                // Detection would work, but in cases where we KNOW it always has SSE2,
                // it is faster to use directly than to use a function pointer or conditional.
#if defined(_M_X64) || defined(__x86_64__) || defined(_M_AMD64) || (defined(MAC_OSX) && defined(__i386__))
                // Always SSE2: x86_64 or Intel MacOS X
                scrypt_1024_1_1_256_sp_sse2(BEGIN(block.nVersion), BEGIN(thash), scratchpad);
#else
                // Detect SSE2: 32bit x86 Linux or Windows
                scrypt_1024_1_1_256_sp(BEGIN(block.nVersion), BEGIN(thash), scratchpad);
#endif
#else
                // Generic scrypt
                scrypt_1024_1_1_256_sp_generic(BEGIN(block.nVersion), BEGIN(thash), scratchpad);
#endif
                if (thash <= hashTarget)
                    break;
                if ((block.nNonce & 0xFFF) == 0)
                {
                    printf("nonce %08X: hash = %s (target = %s)\n", block.nNonce, thash.ToString().c_str(), hashTarget.ToString().c_str());
                }
                ++block.nNonce;
                if (block.nNonce == 0)
                {
                    printf("NONCE WRAPPED, incrementing time\n");
                    ++block.nTime;
                }
            }
            printf("block.nTime = %u \n", block.nTime);
            printf("block.nNonce = %u \n", block.nNonce);
            printf("block.GetHash = %s\n", block.GetHash().ToString().c_str());
        }

im with you on this Magic, after halving i might just throw in the towel on my btc mining gear.  thinking about going the shitcoin route and just trade them towards btc.  sad times with this halving and super freaking high diff.


I may keep one S3 running just can't justify running a APW3 PSU anymore.

Also starting to come to the realization that if I were to calculate the power that I burned keeping the some miners on the chain and the rentals sometimes up of 200-300 machines at a time it makes me wonder about bitcoin's difficulty going forward and the environmental question behind the wasteful energy use over the period.

I mean what did any of the power I rented even archive in the end?  It came with no reward and to be honest it's not like it even provided anything of benefit to the network just wasted shares.

Good luck guys I hope one of you cracks this block!


394  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! on: May 08, 2020, 01:47:42 PM
Well invested about 10k into miners that have sat in boxes as they are faulty bitmain refused to admit they are fucked for example here is 1 of them I have running



Crazy amount of rejected shares down to there piss poor rip off version of Cgminer so  I wasted 10k on those note to anyone never buy V9's I thought they would be a good buy but turn's out there piss poor and were a absolute waste of money every one of them rejects shares at around 48% to 50% which to be tells me there is something wrong.

Funny thing is they work on shitmain pool but no other pools I did test on

CK Pool
CK Solo
Kano
BTC.COM
VIA BTC
and a few others the only one that they don't reject shares on is AntPool so I know there's something fishy going on with the miners but after over 100 emails back  and forth with bitmain they refuse to accept the miners have a issue.

So rental's was the only way forward for me.

Had some good times though can't complain just wish the luck could have been with me over the years even 1 block would have broken me into profit but just show's if you ain't got them 0's your just burning capital.
395  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining USA/DE 255 blocks solved! on: May 08, 2020, 01:11:55 PM
Well i'll leave this here as a warning to future dreamers (Renters) that's me now alot of $$ down the pan over the last 4 years renting hash to try for a block (would have been better buying the $$ of bitcoin in the dips) and I have also always kept S3's and v9's on chain too with no luck once this hash run's out this time I am out of the mining game.

Just threw my last 15 LTC at rentals no luck 6 hr's left then i'm sorry to say but I won't be returning to the mining space.

Would have still been a fair payday with bitcoin being at the +£7k range would have netted a profit of around 30k or so for 4 years work but the god's of the hash are just not with me.

Sad times...

Magic.

Thanks for the explanation but if post's older than 30 days are not allowed to be posted in why not just make the topic's lock after 30 days if no one reply's?

To be honest it was a valid question by the user it's not like it was a spam bump and the users obviously was looking for info on the new pool to market and actually posted in a valid topic rather than making another wasteful topic when there was already a discussion about this matter.

I created a topic about Binance operating a mining pool,  Someone asked a question in the topic and I posted a reply to them with the relevent links to the resource.

Now this was my own topic and today I log in and see Post Deleted in my PM box.  

Here is the quote of the content and a link to the actual topic.

CZ has tweeted that they are looking into opening a Binance mining pool with some heavy rewards for miners moving to the pool.

It seems they have been reaching out to large miners in china to see if they are willing to jump to the Binance pool.

Details are few at the moment on the pool but it will be interesting to see where this op leads and what type of payment system binance will adopt to the pool.

https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1245361117301358592

https://www.coindesk.com/binance-crypto-exchange-is-launching-its-first-bitcoin-mining-pool

Quote
The company has already hired some professionals for this purpose, some of them former Bitmain employees. The launch is planned for the Q2 2020...

Quote
Jakhon Khabilov of Sigmapool pool, stated that Binance has already offered potential clients “generous” referral bonuses as it has been reaching out to some miners in China to promote the upcoming new service.

So the question should be is this more centralization in the bitcoin world? with Binance being by far the biggest exchange could they also now become the biggest player in the pool sector?

Only time will tell.

any news about it? or only 1 april post?
can someone help me, more Pool is more profit for miner owners? or not?
i am newcomer in mining, and my english isnot great for "read all information".





It's real https://pool.binance.com/en/home

They seem to have the pool up and running already you should look on Binance for more information about the pool.

https://binance.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041370811

So my reply to the user telling them that indeed the binance pool was real and giving them a link to find out more about the service was deleted for what I can see NO reason?

Admin's need to take a look into these random deleted posts as this is now the 5th time this has happened either you have a MOD who has something against binance or against me personally but this is censorship at it's best...

My reply was ON topic. contained the CORRECT information yet the MOD's some how think it's not valid and remove it from the forum without reason.

Admin please look into who is deleting these post's as there is NO reason for my reply to have been removed from my OWN topic...
Seems like ABUSE of power...

Thank You

399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if every miner but 1 CPU stopped mining for 4 weeks? on: May 06, 2020, 07:15:41 PM
I was curious what would happen to bitcoins mining algorithm and hash rate.

Pretty simple questions, I wonder why you even ask them when it's obvious
- the mining algorithm will still be the same, it doesn't change because of the hash rate
- the hash rate will drop to that of a CPU, to 1-10 Mh/s

I wonder what would happen if this were to happen on the first block after a re-target as there is a bug in the Bitcoin source code that even the time spent mining the first block after every difficulty adjustment would has no effect on the next Diff calculation.

If the drop happens only for the first block yeah, it will not affect the difficulty adjustment but some of us might not see the next block in our lifetime. If the drop happens for the entire period..then obviously the difficulty will drop to 2009 levels.

Thanks for clearing that up stompix I did wonder what would be the outcome if it was on the 1st block is there a reason why the first block is not counted towards the next epoch adjustment?

I did some searching but could never come up with the answer to that.

Thanks in advance
