Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory 0.95 is out

I thought this is a normal behavior. When you change or create new database Armory needs to scan all your wallets again against the new databases. That is a very resourceful task (hint: now you will understand why on-chain scaling is not efficient and why we need that part of transaction to be off-chain) and I think it needs all the RAM memory for faster processing. I would like to know if there is a cap on the amount of ram that it needs in order to speed things up, but you sound like you have very little ram available on your back-up machine. I think you will need to leave your computer online overnight or when until it finishes. I will take a while.
Maybe someone can teach us how or what can we copy from Armory from another computer that has all wallets synced.

I want in too, if there is a spot left. Random! Thank you!

Kudos for makin good on that bet  Now,where are those chips,hmmmm,wonder where they could be,hmmmm,what coulda happened to them,hmmmm  Thanks for sharing those with us to help "decentralize" Bitcoin  They never intended to help with the decentralization of bitcoin. None of their past/current actions show that. I got blocked on twitter for reminding them of that |

Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: IBM takes a leap to 7nm

No one is going to be seeing a 7nm miner in the next 3-4 years, that's almost certain (assuming Bitcoin is still around then) because it's still at the prototyping stage, the process has to be fully engineered and characterised and that will be a majot challenge in itself. I thought a bitcoin mining ASIC chip is pretty basic and straight forwards. Wouldn't it be wise to prototype and to calibrate the machines using mining chips since they are so simple? Just asking. |

So, Mr. 2112, Do you think we'll be seeing 7nm miners soon in the industry?
He should be the Lead Designer/Project Manager for this chip! |

It's also possible they are having problems with the chip. Would not be the first time, I've noticed that designing a chip is simple, powering it is another matter altogether....
That would be very disappointing. It's normal to have issues, but by this time they should have at least a second and better batch... |

I doubt that in the final analysis it will be so, but if it is, then bitcoin as a whole might be f-ed up as a result, unless it changes the POW to GPU or to POS.
GPU isn't a viable solution for mining for the long term! Low security which makes it very cheap to take over the network and there is no guarantee that mining will be much more decentralized than today. I mean we are competing with BitFury who was funded by the Georgian government. Also I suspect that they have enough liquidity for a massive investment in any kind of equipment to match the new mining algorithm. Let's not forget that BitFury was mining on a 110TH/s FPGA rig when everyone was just discovering FPGA mining. If they have been quiet in the last period it doesn't mean that they lost their skill and their ability to do business. |

i also have been talking to bitfury trying to get the 16nm chip but they always only offer $1m buy order then thay tell me i can buy smaller orders of chips or miners from one of there partners but after many times of asking where to buy they always say we will connect you to them...... time and time again.
i have access to board designers,PCB manufacturing,PCB tooling...........but with all this I CANT GET 1 CHIP...... so frustrating!!!!
That's because BitFury doesn't give a shit about this forum! |
