"Bitcoin Miners are Selling Old ASICs for Scrap Metal as Price Decline Hastens Obsolescence"

To some observers, the video and images demonstrated that crypto miners — even those located in China, where low energy rates provide greater profit margins — were beginning to feel the pinch from bitcoin’s prolonged bear market. If miners were dumping ASICs on the street, it not only meant that the bitcoin price had reached their “shutdown-mark,” the point at which miners can no longer turn a profit running the machines, but also that they didn’t think these devices would ever be profitable again.

Well OK you need to move to China to get the cheap energy to run this CPU war machines that do little more than waste CPU power doing useless hashing in a race
but they make good space heaters when it's cold

if mining is not for you then you could always open an online bank and charge not only transaction fees (must be lower than the $55 per transaction fee record set by Bitcoin) and also charge interest on Bitcoins needed to keep the Chanel open if you join the Bitcoin lightning network and call yourself a hub, not a bank, we hate that name.

Now on the other hand if your so called wealth has taken a dip and you want to preserve some profit then needless to say you know what to do by now since the writting
is already on the wall as you can see.

You can only post technical comments on the forum if you believe that Bitcoin is the best software ever invented
and the price of bitcoin can only ever go up.

The casino operators decide what can and cannot be said here and my inbox is full of deleted post notifications because I see
the price of BTC dropping a lot more and so far I have been right so I guess truth is lies in the forums here 

Since the shit-ware team did nothing and allowed fees to hit $55 per digital transaction the price has continued to drop
like I said it would.

Mining rigs are being dumped in the tip, get free space heater whilst you still can

Shame achow101 did not take me up on my bet where i said i would leave if BTC went over $10k ever again and he would give me his job if it went below $6k

While (true)
    Censorship(BTC);

Looks like the jig is up with the lightning network promises, not many people are buying it 

I think if they arrange to have him killed in jail like they tried before then the UK runs the risk of going up in smoke.

Looks like free speech is only OK if it's coming from the BBC who also report from outside the courts when it suites them.

I did warn you all to get out whilst the price was over $10k but all you wanted to hear was "Buy on the dip" so who's the dip now and that Lightning network does not seem to be helping because people that have taken the time to look have discovered that the hubs are just another name for mini banks.

Yes i panic sold at $18 because the writing was on the wall after the miners zapped fees up to over $55 per transaction so all that trust that took years to create was knocked down in just a few days.

I use to post here in the development section of the site but the nazi moderator kept deleting my posts even when i was being nice so I kept posting on Zero-headge
and it looks like my efforts might have helped to warn people about the scam going on here.

Keep using the posts to pull up old threads boys just so you can get advert impression because that and censorship is how you kill a site so please bring on the lead weights on this post because i have seen it all before.

Well people some of you will know that Tommy Robinson in the UK was thrown in jail for using free speech to expose the pedophile gangs in the UK who are being taken to court very slowly for drugging our kids up and raping them up to fifty times a night as our police sit back and cover it up along with the BBC.

Justice comes slow to these animals but in Tommy's case it only took five hours to arrest, convict him for 13 months and have him in jail but it seems like not only was the BBC and police trying to hide something but our corrupt politicians are in on the plot too.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/02/14/plot-rape-dissolve-girls-acid-court/

"Gihan Muthukumarana told undercover police they could make £10 million raping children on video for “top political people”, a court has heard.
The 28-year-old, who appeared in court this week accused of plotting to kidnap, rape, and beat young girls, allegedly claimed that footage of the abuse could be sold for “ridiculously big” sums of money if they “got rid” of the victims by dissolving their bodies in a vat of acid afterwards, Court News UK reports."

The weekend we have protests planed in London UK and will demand the release of Tommy Robinson and I suspect we are still only seeing the tip of this iceberg that Tommy has risked his life to bring to our attention.

Please note that parts of the internet are now being blocked if you are in the UK and youtube is playing it's part too.

Takes years for gangs of rapists to face trial, ten years for the Brexit vote to be turned into actions but only
five hours to arrest, convict and jail Tommy Robinson and things are starting to reach fever pitch here in the UK

[STOP IT]

They open several accounts to then post themselves merits between the accounts which I am sure our nazi moderator
knows about because he is playing along with them.

He works for tips, here is a tip mate ! STOP IT because you have been caught
red handed.

Edited to add.

I made a note of the page he (the nazi) removed my comment from the other day, waited a few days and went back to make another comment and was careful not to say anything wrong, it got deleted within half an hour, a page with hardly any reply https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3371680.msg35378165#msg35378165

Yes I think we have dual name users with lots of merits posting in this part of the site and i am guessing that the OP is also using a name beginning with "N"

Well today the nazi moderator (achow101) in the development forum here has deleted eleven of my posts
so I would like to know if I have the world record yet.

Yes i know this site is all about ChipMixer from all the paid advert posters we are seeing and the other half of the site is
all about "Signature Campaigns" (Spamming FUD on the internet) but miners who scammed everyone for $55 per transaction
the other month and us software developers are having a real hard time and this achow101 really needs to go or we will be forced
to hang out our washing in public.

Now lets see lead weights in action, gone long on this metal I have 

 

This is not a open forum, it's ran by the ministry of Bitcoin propaganda and the moderator
needs a time machine so he can travel back in time to 1939 Germany to partake in more
book burring session.

Hit the ban button andy you nazi because I will always stand up to fascists like you when ever
I meet them.

It should have become clear by now that the chemical attacks in Syria and the UK that they blames
on Russia and Syria for were false flags given zero credible evidence and follow up news that is being kept
out of the news.

UK Prime Minster Mrs May should be in jail next to Tony Blair for these WMD lies and her husband should join
her given the conflict of interests and him making money from the attack.

Bring it on if you still run with the state propaganda but do have your answer ready about why Dr Assad
would use such weapons given he has all but won the war in Syria because such arguments fail to stand up to the
test of logic.

Please note that I am not a fan of Putin, he's working for "Them" and is playing his part in the 1984 script being
feed to us so it looks like we need to clean our own house instead of thinking someone else will do it for us.

 

I am developing a highly secure network that uses Secp256 for encryption and the main interface into the network uses
SOCK4/5 to act as a proxy stub.

Browser ---HTTP/SOCK4-5--->Local Node----------->Remote Node--------->Internet
or
Internet (Port forward)--->Local Node-------->Internet

Much like bitcoin the network is decentralized and down the road it will provide file-shares, Tor type .onion sites with
redundancy and a message service with end to end encryption without the bullshit we are getting from Telegram and WhatsApp

Now lots of people want free file sharing and private secure VPN services but few of them would want to port forward services
in the routers firewall or even understand how to do this so my proposal is that if miners will host some network nodes and then in return
the client nodes could provide mining services since some channels are bidirectional so in effect mining requests can be pushed to
client nodes.

Browser ---HTTP/SOCK4-5--->Local Node----------->Mining Node--------->Internet
                                            Local Node<----------<Mining Node<------Sock4/5-------<SHAL256
Unfortunately the software is under development and has not been ported to Linux and will need hosting
on windows based platforms so miners will need a windows machine on the LAN but after that it's just a
question of using web-sockets for an interface into the network.

I don't know if a protocol already exists that works with SOCK4/5 for mining but I am sure it can be done without having to
hijack peoples machines so maybe someone here can fill in the missing blanks for me.

So you download the app and it wants full permissions to everything on your phone
and then they want you to provide a phone number and do phone verification (that did not work)

How is this supposed to be protecting my privacy or security and I am also picking up from the
Russia debate that keys are released to some governments but not others and why are all messages by default
not using end to end encryption.

I am well un impressed and was it to be built well and to be decentralized then no one would give a flying fart
about Russia trying to block the service or anyone else so it look like if you want a job done right then best do it
yourself.

I was thinking about linking the network I am working on to "Telegram" but it seems that it cannot meet the basic
requirements or being anonymous if it's tied to a phone number so what other networks (if any) should I take a peek at.

The mejia is not saying much in the news today but we are right on the edge and Corbyn has demanded on
a vote before T-May starts any military action in Syria without MP's approval.

We are being feed one false flag after another these days and they will be coming for our kitchen knifes soon
and if you think that could never happen then you are already behind on current events.

See RT.com for a peek into what they don't want you to know about.

I remember the days well and all the usual suspects with lots of merits needed to host adverts in the footers of each post
they make here were collecting loads of page impressions as they told everyone that today was a good opportunity to buy.

Today they are talking the same old FUD but they are wasting their time because the harden gamblers left around here will still be around
if BTC goes below $1000 after "Investors" fled the market because miners put fees up to $55 per transaction and that won't be forgotten
unless they pay all them stolen "Contributions" back to those that got mugged.

oh, yeah, forgot to tell you all that i got out at $18k and hate to see people being ripped off but some of you just ask for it.

Abby Martin Exposes Zionism & Israel on Joe Rogan Podcast (Strong Language)

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBRxt5ufnGg

Kind of speaks for itself

Let me tell you guys, they are still here and spreading the same FUD and just the numbers change but most of them
are so desperate for cash that they will do anything to collect merits just so they can collect a small income from advert
impression in the footers of the posts they make all day long here.

Financial wiz-kids they are not and I sold out at $18k because I knew that after transaction fees had hit $55 that no one
in their right mind would ever trust the development team or the miners ever again and I said it at the time.

Today they are pumping outdated posts back to the top of the forum just to gain half a cent from an advert impression
but don't go thinking that no one notices will you boys.

I rolled my own encryption regardless of all the advice not too (they would say that !) because I work on windows and will not trust any
of the Microsoft's black-box encryption tools and passing keys to Microsoft for AES encryption is a big red flag for me.

What i need is fast encryption for a Tor style network that will work with data streams for sending large volumes of data
but the trouble is the data might be send/received in random sizes and i want to relay the data as soon as it comes in

incoming upstream node [------300k-----] [-----200k-----][-----67k-----]
receiving local node        [------200---][----467k--------------------------]

So i can swap all "A's" to become "Z's" and "Z''s" becomes "A's" based on a secret key used to mix the data up
but this encryption would be easy to crack and because of the speed I don't want to keep inserting points into the
byte array being encrypted.

Now i could added extra shift into byte codes based on looking for the letters 'HTTP' but the trouble is that the
data could arrive in a blocks starting with 'TP' or ending in 'HT'  so it would be a bit hit and miss and I don't even know
the type of data that will be sent because the nodes act as SOCK4/5 and HTTP Proxy servers which you guys might like
for running nodes on Bitcoin.

So far my code is sweet but generating the CypherCode is slow so it's cached and is returned from MakeCypherCode as a 512 byte array
and the speed is second to none.

Code:

public static byte[] DecryptFast(byte[] Text, string Key)
       {
           byte[] CypherCode = MakeCypherCodes(Key);
           for (uint f = 0; f <= Text.Length - 1; f++)
           {
               Text[f] = CypherCode[Text[f]+256];
           }
           return Text;
       }

       public static byte[] EncryptFast(byte[] Text, string Key)
       {
           byte[] CypherCode = MakeCypherCodes(Key);
           for (uint f = 0; f <= Text.Length - 1; f++)
           {
               Text[f] = CypherCode[Text[f]];
           }
           return Text;
       }

HTTPS traffic is already semi safe on this network because the CONNECT request that includes the domain name is encrypted before being sent but
the certificate response could still be sniffed but after that I plan on just sending the data "as is" since it's already encrypted

Too be honest I don't think there is a real good solution to this problem but i thought I would try anyway.
 

Unfortunately I am being forced to re-invent the wheel because high usage of AES encryption on
a windows machine falls over, leaks memory and programs go bang and I needed something that
does not use Microsoft little black box software that is fast and can encrypt 2mb chunks of data blocks.

RSA encryption from Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Code:

RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(512);  // Key bits length
rsa.PersistKeyInCsp = false;

The second line of code is needed because it use to default to true and resulted in the keys being
stored in windows certificate store and put quite simply Microsoft now steels anything it can lay it's hands on
and goes as far as to run web-dav at night to scan remote disk drives on your LAN.

Here is the function and it works by shifting byte code to the right based on the key with a bit of salt thrown
in for good measure and works with a variable length key that can be HEX or even XYZ

Code:

private static ushort[] MakeShiftKeys(string Key)
       {//Conver HEX keys to array of numbers but will also work for other letters too
           ushort[] Shifts = new ushort[Key.Length];
           for (int f = 0; f <= Key.Length - 1; f++)
               if (Key[f] >= '0' && Key[f] <= '9') Shifts[f] = ushort.Parse(Key[f].ToString()); else Shifts[f] = (ushort)(Key[f] - 55);
           return Shifts;
       }

public static byte[] EncryptFast(byte[] Text, string Key)
       {//About 10 seconds per gigabyte on I7 PC using 1mb blocks
           ushort[] ShiftKeys = MakeShiftKeys(Key.ToUpper());
           ushort Count = 0; ushort Shift = 0;
           ushort R = (ushort)(Text.Length % 8);
           if (R == 0) R = (ushort)(Text.Length % 3);
           bool Even = R == 5;
           for (uint f = 0; f <= Text.Length - 1; f++)
           {
               if (Count != R) Shift = ShiftKeys[Count];
               else if (Even) Shift = 77;
               else Shift = 66;
               if ((byte)Text[f] + Shift + R <= 255) Text[f] = (byte)(Text[f] + Shift + R);
               else Text[f] = (byte)((Text[f] + Shift + R)-256);
               Even = !Even; Count++;
               if (Count > Key.Length - 1) Count = 0;
           }
           return Text;
       }

During tests this code was found to be 40% slower than using Microsoft AES function and this is because
using C# and byte arrays you have to cast the byte to an INT32 to preform sums so maybe I can fix it using
UN-SAFE section of code if I can remember enough C++.

Previously I have played around with BigINT and MOD but this was not fast enough for big blocks of data
and I know the above is not military grade encryption but how would you rate it and what can be done to
make it better without taking too much of a performance hit.

I was thinking of compressing the data using Microsoft's GZip before using this encryption function which can be done
by using just four lines of code.

MemoryStream MS=new MemoryStream();
using (GZipStream gz = new GZipStream(MS, CompressionMode.Compress, false))
               gz.Write(Data, 0, Data.Length);
return MS.ToArray();  

But given the amount of network activity that I see coming out from my machine from millions of Dll's
running inside surrogate processes that we have no control over anymore I think I would roll my own compression
if I could do it in under a months work.
