For remote access, a cooperating network interface is required: Intel ethernet adapters, Intel WiFi adapters, and certain 3G modems are supported. If you can, replace Intel-made network interfaces with ones made by a different manufacturer, that do not support AMT. Apparently for the remote control to work, you also need to have Intel network card, so not using any Intel network hardware should keep you safe from remote attack.

How do we know that AMD doesnt have something similar?
We don't. But apparently, even if they have something, it is nowhere near the level of complexity and sophistication of Intel's technology. Intel has a goddamn separate CPU that you can run apps (think rootkits) on. And this special CPU has higher priority when it comes to control of the system than normal CPU. This is disgusting.

This is probably one of these "Elephant in the room" topics. Everybody knows it, but nobody talks about it. Most of new Intel chipsets have a deliberately built-in backdoor that allows : - Remote access to your machine even when computer is turned off (but plugged to power & network socket). Intel's AMT is actually active when computer's power button is OFF.
- Hiding code of some apps & malware from the running system using sophisticated DRM scheme
- Installing a rootkit / trojan that cannot be removed even if the disk, RAM memory and BIOS are all wiped out clean.
- Run signed JAVA code outside of CPU !
What's more: - It works outside of the control of CPU, system and BIOS
- It's closed source (obviously)
- Intel doesn't want to say how it works
- Intel (so NSA & US govt too) has secret keys, using which they can totally control your machine with totally no way of you detecting it
- It cannot be turned completely OFF (there is a BIOS switch, but as proven - it does not work fully)

! WARNING !TL;DR; The Polish Bitcoin Community had a very long and very painful discussion with Crypotoworld's Support about existing critical bugs in Cryptoworld's architecture. Response from Cryptoworld's support team was in short essentially "it's you who are stupid and trolling, we will not talk to you". Their support is aggressive and unhelpful, they refuse to even acknowledge their mistakes. Link to original thread on polish Bitcoin forum: https://forum.bitcoin.pl/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16028My (and Polish Bitcoin community's) advice: Stay as far as you can from this "business". ---- ! UWAGA !TL;DR Polska społeczność Bitcoin miała długą i bolesną dyskusję z obsługą serwisu Cryptoworld na temat istniejących krytycznych bugów w architekturze ich serwisu. Odpowiedzią obsługi technicznej było w skrócie "to wy jesteście głupi i trollujecie, nie będziemy z wami rozmawiać". Ich pracownicy są agresywni i niepomocni, odmawiają przyznania się do swoich błędów. Link do oryginalnego wątku na polskim forum Bitcoin: https://forum.bitcoin.pl/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16028Moja (i polskiej społeczności Bitcoin) opinia: Trzymać się jak najdalej od tej "firmy".

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [UPDATE: 2014-08-10] Bitcoin Core soft-fork "No Forced TX Fee" v0.9.2.1 avaiable
|

I'm a question : in Windows XP 32 bits SP3 + all available updates ... the v0.9.2.1 crash before 24h of use. I use bitcoin core only for RPC server and node (-disablewallet). Can this version have a modification for this (crash) ? Or only the fees strategy is modified ? Thanks NFTF fork causing crash ? Well, this is highly unlikely. There is no significant change in the code that could cause the crash. Please compile the standard client (without the patch) and do a test in *EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITIONS* to find out if it is really the fork causing the crash.

Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Yet another Pool Problem solution : Mining multiple blocks simultaneously ?
|
on: June 24, 2014, 03:00:03 PM
|
Just had an idea.
What if instead of mining just single valid block per 10 minutes, miners could mine (for example) 100 blocks simultaenously with 100 - times lower difficulty, which would then be treated as one single block in the blockchain ?
What i mean in detail: 1. Miners can mine X blocks simultaneously, all of which can be valid and added to the blockchain, but 2. Difficulty is X times lower (or insert proper difficulty calculation algorithm here) 3. Block reward is split by X. Each of the small-block rewards goes to the miner who mined it. 4. X adjusts automatically with difficulty Y. The bigger Y is, the bigger X becomes and the more pieces are produced each 10 minutes. 5. After all the small blocks are mined, they are merged back into one normal-sized block, which then is inserted into the blockchain.
This way, mining pools are not really necessary, every miner could mine solo (or in tiny pools). The biggest problem i see now with it is deciding which mini-blocks get included in the final big block.
Am I making any sense, or is this one hell of a crazy idea ? Please bear with me.

OP is a troll or an idiot or has a very specific agenda. Ignore mode on. EDIT: BTW: MINERS UNITE!
Let's do even better: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!Please enlighten us as to why you believe they should be allowed to get away with this. WTC 1993 was an FBI job --> http://youtu.be/_2vpcABWJiYI will just for once assume that you are asking seriously. Because making any bitcoins worse than other would destroy fungibility of Bitcoin, could possibly create endless chain of dependencies which could then pollute "clean" Bitcoins and, most importantly, would require a hard fork therefore ultimately and completely obliterating the whole idea of Bitcoin. Making any coins worse than other because of somebody's stupid desires is a no-go and I (and most of early adopters) would leave Bitcoin the minute somebody tries something like this. Was that clear enough for you?

No.
You were talking about mining and now you are pretending that you weren't so that everybody here doesn't think you are a fool. But you are and it is too late and everybody here already knows that.
Stop lying, stop pretending, stop misinforming, stop this bullshit and just admit you were wrong. This is the road to improvement of your weakness - face it, do not run from it, coward.
Actually, I find that 99% of the people with "PrimeDice" adds in their sig are just posting random crap to as many threads as they can to get their post count up and improve their payoff. Wait... Is their payout directly based on the number of posts, or is primedice this some kind of ponzi scheme?
