Any specific push tx services you guys would recommend?? So that there is no way we can run into that specific problem (of censorship)?

But not web-based, preferably something that can be used through an API or something similar.


Thanks in advance!

So specifically I am using BitcoinJS to sign a transaction and get the raw HEX data. Now, since I don't want to run my own full bitcoin nodes, I am considering using one of the many services out there that pushes the hex data and broadcasts it to the bitcoin network (such as: https://www.localbitcoinschain.com/tx/send).

Now, my question is: Is this safe at all?

Could someone derive my private key from the hex data? (I'm assuming not right? Since it shouldn't be possible to decrypt once signed?)

I just want to make sure if it's safe to use any of these services to broadcast my bitcoin transactions and making sure no one gets access to the user's funds if the user decides to push tx through these services)


Thanks in advance!
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining with mixed GPUs (AMDs and Nvidia) with ethOS on: January 12, 2018, 08:57:48 PM
No it's not supported out of the box. Some people made it work, or kind of work, but you won't see your stats. Most people who do the same uses claymore.
Mixing GPUs are not really a problem and it should work, though it does entail a stability hit.

Alright, thanks for the info bud!
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Mining with mixed GPUs (AMDs and Nvidia) with ethOS on: January 12, 2018, 04:01:00 AM
Hello,

I currently have a mining rig with 10 AMD RX 580 with ethOS and it's working like a charm. However, after trying adding an Nividia 1070, the Nvidia doesn't work. It gets detected by the OS but it just won't start mining at all.

I just want to understand, can I combine AMDs and Nvidias on one rig with ethOS? Does it work just out of the box? i have the latest OS version as of January 2017. What do you recommend?


Thanks in advance!
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Can anyone explain to me how ETH will switch to PoS without a fork? on: January 01, 2018, 12:15:00 AM
Hi,

I am trying to wrap my head around the switch ETH is planning to do from Proof of work to Proof of stake. How in the world -if it's a decentralized network- can the ETH founder just change the protocol of mining ethereums at his will? Isn't that the whole main reason there are forks (and consequently creates a totally new cryptocurrency?).

How is ethereum changing to Proof-Of-Stake without creating a new cryptocurrency??


Can anyone help me understand this?

Thanks!
