Yeah, that's how I figured out that it didn't really generate any more accepted shares than the nonmodified miner. Well, I hope I'll learn something from this - never go public premature.

Again, sorry for all the commotion.

Can you name a pool that does verify the hash so I can register there and confirm my method generates valid shares?

Well it says Accepted for each share. I don't know how to make Phoenix verify it any more than it is verified right now. Also my pool seems to accept the shares.


Haha, thanks. Well, I'm really paranoid about this. I don't know why. Of course everything will be okay after a while, but for now I might disturb some people in certain ways. I don't know. That's why I opened this topic.

Thanks for all the comments so far.

[edit] Nevermind, I was being premature. It was indeed an error in my ways - it only sped up under certain conditions so overall this is basically an insignificant speed upgrade. Sorry everyone.
Woosh, I'm relieved now. I really thought I was on to something. Well, at least no more death paranoia.

Hm, okay. You don't believe me - I wouldn't believe me myself. Seriously, I'm not trying to sell it or anything, I'm just wondering what to do.

Okay, suppose this - suppose I don't really have a method to do that. But imagine for a second if I did. What should I do? Any comments would be more than helpful. Thanks.


Haha, very funny. No. I'm actually a long-time programmer and have found the change after tinkering about with Phoenix.

[EDIT] Nevermind, read below, I was being premature with this post.

No, this is not a scam. I am afraid for my life, because this could perhaps destabilize bitcoin, or stabilize it more, I don't know, I'm sure there are people with tons of bitcoins and they could probably get me or something. That's why I just registered this account and I'm posting over TOR. Please don't try to track me down. Please. I have a loving wife and am a family man.

Again, no, this is not a scam. I just fiddled with my miner and my mh/sec jumped by around 85%. No, no 0.85%, 8.5% or whatever, but by almost double - 85%. I don't get any more stales (rejects) than usual.

I'm now thinking about what to do with my sweaty fingers. I obviously cannot provide any proof because I can only post before/after screenshots and those can be doctored.

Should I release this into public domain? If I do, everyone will have their hashrate almost doubled by tomorrow. What would be the consequences of that?

I need to talk to someone. Please, tell me what to do.

I know what you think - I would probably think the same too: "This Redditor is full of shit". I would really like to be full of shit. Well, ok, not really, since now I earn 85% more. For now. Anyway.

Again, this is not a scam. I won't reveal my methods but no, they don't involve modding your gpu or flashing a bios or whatever, it's just a simple miner change (thankfully the miner is open source) but probably overlooked by many.

Thanks.
