Also come to think of it, there is another issue at hand here. You cannot really trust reported hashrate on a private build without the source code, because it's possible to fudge the ouput numbers a little to show a higher hashrate than what is actually happening. Currently pools and hashrate calculators aren't reporting reliable numbers for skunk anyways, so it would be very difficult to tell especially if the hashrate is only slightly inflated.

Also it's unsafe to run software which does not have available source as it may have well hidden malware or trojans which can redirect some of the hashrate or steal your wallet, etc.

I understand developers deserve to make money from their work, one method would be to create a private build but not distribute it at all unless a certain target of donations have been met. Once such a target is met, the private build can be distributed along with the source to everyone, or you can distribute the private build specifically to donators and post the source code online.

However the primary method that most open source developers make money is through recognition, if your work is good, you can find lucrative employment.

Anyways something to think about, and good luck, obviously the person is very talented if at his profile listed age he is able to create such improvements in hashrate (assuming they aren't fake).

The popular Signatum sp-mod #6 miner software has been released.

Free update sendt to the donators.  (0.05BTC)



Very impressive, what settings are you using exactly, like intensity/clocks/memory/etc.

If we buy it, we can request source code, since it's GPL correct?

Then we'd have seen the source for the previous 5 versions already if he planned on releasing it

Has anyone who obtained the spmod via donation ever requested the source code? If they request it, he is legally obligated to provide it. Otherwise they can enforce it via legal means, including subpoena service providers/websites to track his identity.

You can contact EFF Compliance Lab at licensing@fsf.org, they can probably offer more help.

I'm looking into this a bit more and I noticed that all the spmods are just leaks of the private builds made by sp_? I thought someone was compiling them from source, or is the source really not available? Are donators leaking the build?

Source: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html

A company is running a modified version of a GPL'ed program on a web site. Does the GPL say they must release their modified sources? (#UnreleasedMods)

The GPL permits anyone to make a modified version and use it without ever distributing it to others. What this company is doing is a special case of that. Therefore, the company does not have to release the modified sources.

It is essential for people to have the freedom to make modifications and use them privately, without ever publishing those modifications. However, putting the program on a server machine for the public to talk to is hardly “private” use, so it would be legitimate to require release of the source code in that special case. Developers who wish to address this might want to use the GNU Affero GPL for programs designed for network server use.


-----

One could argue since spmods are based on GPL3 licensed code and work in a public blockchain, you might be obligated to release the source code, similar to the example above.

Furthermore as soon you distribute a private build of GPL3 software to anyone by whatever method (purchase, donation, free, etc) they have the legal right to request the source code.

I would be careful sp_ perhaps reconsider your distribution model as you might be in violation of GPL3 and potentially open to litigation.

If that hash rate is true on a GTX 1060 3GB, that is very impressive work!

More objective testing, GTX 1060 6GB, intensity set to 18, all defaults except fan speed set to 67% & Memory Clock -202.

I noticed card gets a higher default clock sometimes and has power drops under krnlx.

What do u get without any changes to clocks and intensity set to -i 18?

I can reach to 20 MH/s but computer is not responsive at 24/25.

what driver for palginmod?!
I get Unable to query number of CUDA devices! Is an nVidia driver installed?

382.53 on Win7 x64 Sad

it happens for me too, just update to 384.x and will work great

Thanks, confirmed palginmod 1.1.1 requires newest drivers otherwise you will get "Unable to query number of CUDA devices" error.

I get near the same hash rate across spmod5, krnlx & palginmod.

However krnlx has erratic power usage, while spmod5 & palginmod are stable, palginmod also offers a slight decrease in temperatures at the same settings? Like 2-3C lower for me, compared to the others, ambient temps are all identical, odd.

Can be found here: https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases/

I'm trying the latest palginmod 1.1.1 just now it appears to be a little bit faster than spmod5 or this one for me (like 0.2-0.3 MH/s extra), power seems to be stable as well. You might need to update to latest Nvidia drivers if it complains about cuda cores not found. What's also interesting is that my temperatures are down as well.

https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/releases/

EDIT: Actually nevermind, the hash stabilizes to near identical across all miners for me which is around 17.11 to 17.33 MH/s, but the temperature difference appears to be real down to 68C versus 70-72C on others, ambient is a stable 25C don't think that's a factor. A bit odd that at same settings I get different temps on different miners.

I get near identical 17MH/s with -i 18 on a GTX 1060 6GB with this when compared to spmod5, however check your power usage this miner is very erratic (it goes up and down quite a bit) while spmod is stable. Anyone else noticed anything like this?

Is Crowetic the main developer for SIGT?

I think it said Jason Crowe (Crowetic) is Project Lead of Signatum in the interview, he mentions other people are the primary developers?

I'm not familar with him, he seems well spoken in the interview but if you Google his name you will find a lot of accusations on another forum in regards to his involvement in Burstcoin, he also mentions it in the interview.

I'm not really liking the sound of that, reading some of the stuff makes me lose a little bit of hope for Stignatum, also the fact that the developers of this coins are rather anonymous, which doesn't really inspire confidence.

But I guess we will see.
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Signatum - New Algorithm - Fair Launch - No Premine - Cryptopia on: August 10, 2017, 02:55:54 AM
I bought a little bit more just now and have been holding so far.

I didn't think the initial sell off would be as high, but price didn't exactly hit rock bottom, in fact surprising it stayed stable during massive selloffs from some whales.

It didn't really go below 0.00002400-0.00002500, my initial predictions said it won't go lower than 6 cents after initial dump and it was far above that due to Bitcoin price anyways.

I think it will hold stable or continue to increase, my next prediction is probably major dump at 0.15-0.25, but it should recover.

I'm thinking I might just wait it out until PoS, it sounds kind of interesting or maybe not we will see.

Sounds like Signatum is pretty serious, compared to most alt-coins.

Just processed all the outstanding payments on hashbag. I had to stop the payments while I figured out how to re-balance the accounts so it would stop trying to pay more than it could. It was attempting to pay out more than possible and draining itself of funds before payments could be completed, leading to some serious issues with the wallet & affecting payments in the future.

There was a shortfall of roughly 2K SIGT which I couldn't cover, so I had to trim everyone's balances by 5% and then the payouts have worked correctly. Sorry to everyone who was affected, having all of the pool funds stolen had some serious knock-on effects to the payments system which should finally be sorted.

I've set fees on SIGT to 0% for the next week to hopefully offset some of the losses for people.

and what about the missing payouts? I had 2 transactions that never arrived to my wallet

Unfortunately I think they are just gone, I definitely sent the transactions with the wallet (the transaction ID is in the system as you can see) but they never got picked up by the blockchain for some reason or another. Of that I can't be sure, but all of those missing transactions removed the balance from my wallet, so I can't even process them again Sad

There's apparently still 22.5K SIGT in balance in the blockchain from the old wallet, but for all of my attempts at rebuild/scanning/importing to fresh wallets etc, I can't make it spendable. If I can recover that then I can process some of the lost transactions, but since I can't see which ones failed (they all appear as sent in my wallet/system) I'll have to do it on a case by case basis, again only IF I can get that balance back. The admins in the discord have said the blockchain explorer is incorrect and my wallet is correct (there is no balance left). I hope that's not the case? Surely the blockchain explorer is correct??

The pool is now operating on a new fresh wallet so I can try to figure out what's up with the other one without affecting the pool stability.

GL convincing anyone to mine there again.  Pretty ballsy.

Well sure, I could have just taken the 30K sigt I just paid out and made up some bullshit about it, at least then I'd be 30K sigt richer and I'd be able to make some money out of this rather than having all my pool fees stolen and operating at a loss. What does it take to please people I wonder?

How do we know the pool owners themselves didn't mess around to quickly siphon off funds, conveniently right before the split?

If pools were in fact hacked, there needs to be disclosure of what happened exactly and what was done to fix it, post wallets so we can check if funds are actually stuck or have been moved around elsewhere, otherwise I don't see why anyone should trust certain pools.

Not accusing anyone (as I never used either of these pools), just saying what the proper actions should be if someone wanted to redeem themselves type of thing.

Vulnerability was that 127.0.0.1 was allowed as an admin IP and somebody spoofed their IP to 127.0.0.1, accessed the consoles and sent funds using the console. Fix was to remove 127.0.0.1 as IP and disallow any kind of IP spoofing-able connections into the admin panel. The patch is in the yiimp github now. I have the IP of the attacker (who also used the same IP to attack the other pools which were affected) and the addresses were the funds were sent.

As far as it goes with the wallet, the blockchain explorer is apparently incorrect. Hashbag was mining to wallet B5fiiZkGkuoiXo6PNXotVDicSUZAG6fcfa, which still has 22.5K balance but none of that is available to the wallet. I installed a new wallet, B7y2B1Lz357byH45TnEaNGZ3BGJhQJrp6B, which is now paying out correctly. I removed some funds from the balances to allow it to pay properly. I still have 1K SIGT available in that wallet in case any more payment issues arise, but hopefully that won't happen.

Thanks for the info.

But I'm wondering why wasn't your pool updated earlier? Wasn't this known since August 4th?

Congratulations Signatum!

We have passed block 30,000, block reward is now half, from 2500 coins to 1250 coins.


Next split is after block 60,000, with reward going to 625.

Hybrid PoW/PoS phase starts after 98,500.

After block 100,000 Signatum will turn from PoW to PoS.

In total 137,498,125 coins will be mined during PoW phase.

To reach 100 million market cap after PoW phase, you only need each coin to be worth about 72 cents when converted to BTC, doesn't seem that impossible, especially if more exchanges pick up signatum.

Good luck to all.

In theory it should spike up since we are so close to reward split.
59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Signatum - New Algorithm - Fair Launch - No Premine - Cryptopia on: August 08, 2017, 09:41:00 PM
under 37 blocks left, before reward is half

60  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Signatum - New Algorithm - Fair Launch - No Premine - Cryptopia on: August 08, 2017, 09:11:59 PM
A few are going to sell off a bunch and I think it will spike.

69 blocks left before 30,000.
