Large Bitcoin Collider (Collision Finders Pool)

[rico666]

Hi,

all Go-generator operators, please be aware, that the pool will set the minimum client version requirement to 0.870 on Friday 21st.
This will effectively render the LBC clients using Go-generator backends defunct with the pool. You can still use them offline with manual intervals as you like, but the shares will not be accepted by the pool anymore.

Currently, the Go-generators account for less than 4% of the pool capacity and with even better generators than HRD-core on the horizon (*hint* *hint*) it's time to move on.

Of course your client-Id will remain in the pool db, and as promised your early adopter shares attached to that id will have a significant weight in a future reward concept. Oh - I will write about that and some other things soon.

BTW - this has been found by a LBC-Appliance-on-Windows client.

I need to check how good the server is scaling, so I pulled in 256 Xeon cores (*) to the pool...

Pool Performance: 34.34 MKeys/s  

As I said

Oh and one more thing: Don't be surprised, if Pool speed will now slowly raise to ~ 40 MKeys/s  

but let's make that 60 - for now.

(*) no worry, it's only weak AWS shit, for now, I started 4 of this kind:

Code:

[ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx collider]$ ./LBC -c 64 -t 10
Best generator chosen: gen-hrdcore-avx2-linux64
PAGE-TO: 0 PAGE-FROM: 0
Ask for work... got blocks [51186738-51202097] (16106 Mkeys)

Do you know how much it costs in cycles on AWS?

Do you know how much it costs in cycles on AWS?

All I know is, that I bought $1200 worth in AWS credit here @ bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1567262.0) for $70 and I have not made any cost/benefit evaluation, because I am developing a project - not setting up a profitable business.

My AWS console says, I have "burned" $51 in AWS credit so far.

Rico

Sweet, thank you.

[rico666]

Sweet, thank you.

Also, I am right now throttling  the AWS servers and renaming to let them start over and over again under a new id, else they'd probably totally destroy the top5.

I have more AWS credit which is valid only until end of this month, so I will probably have to start up some more. Eventually we may see a 100 MKeys/s. At least you get used to it. :-)

observe 6ac7b44b3c7f61c89a8a4fd0f7896376 climbing up the top30
It's a Knights Landing cluster prototype, that I can let run only for a couple of hours for this.

[rico666]

...I have not made any cost/benefit evaluation...

Now I did. 96 GKeys effectively cost me 5.8 cent of my $70 budget.

I will spend $29 on that (about 48 TKeys) and leave the rest for... p2.16xlarge instances

That speed... 78.71.... Nice..

So amazing!

Rico,

What were the directory.io page numbers for the puzzle finds?

Would it be the hex divided by 128 to get the page number?

Answered my own question, haha.

Thanks,
Jude

Answered my own question, haha.

PS: I will have to hand over the KNL prototype in about 6 hours, I will take it out from working on the pool forefront and revisit manually the space where we had the Win-clients lapse. At that time, we hadn't the puzzle transaction hash160es in our .blf or balances files, so let's find out...

Help me understand that. Good? Bad?

Cool down guys. That was a spike and the pool is likely to slow down now again. I had a 100 MKeys/s machine I could put my hands on, so I could not resist. However, I did this:

That was a good Eeeeeee.

And also, I just asked for PK for 41 and 42 of the puzzle transaction on the puzzle thread and you delivered, sweet.

What is so special about: 7033bd97579b0105561056fcfc1ddcaa8a04abf0 -> 40000031337 ?? Because it says 31337? lol

You did block my dedicated server tho:

[screen is terminating]
root@ubuntu:~/LBC-client# screen -x
There is no screen to be attached.
root@ubuntu:~/LBC-client# ./LBC -c 8 -t 120
Best generator chosen: gen-hrdcore-sse41-linux64
PAGE-TO: 0 PAGE-FROM: 0
Ask for work... Server doesn't like us. Answer: blacklisted.
root@ubuntu:~/LBC-client#

Can unblock please?

Thanks,

Because the pool finds it although it is NOT in the .blf file.

Ryan did some 31337 thing I guess, so he should explain. 


You did block my dedicated server tho:

-> PM I need some info for unblocking. On top of all this, the pool had to deal with it's 1st more serious hacking attempts yesterday, so the blacklist mechanism was busy...

Pleiades Prototype alpha

Is this the marking of the KNL or another form of "cluster"?

Hmmmm?
