Why does BBR mining come under DDOS? Its not even that valuable at the moment. Why is someone even doing this?

It is probably mined by small group with FPGAs, and they are responsible for DDoS attacks. As someone said earlier this is private coin...

Not likely. No FPGA that I know of has the internal memory for the scratchpad, and if you're going to use external RAM chips, you'll basically have to reinvent a GPU to match the memory access speeds.

Even Monero and Aeon don't have FPGA miners (as far as I know), and they only use a couple of MB of memory, vs. 100+ MB for BBR. In fact, they are more efficient on CPUs than GPUs, because at that size you can use the higher-level caches of decent CPUs.

Scrypt of Litecoin ended up with FPGA and later ASIC miners only because the memory usage could be compensated with extra computational work. It's like generating bits of the scratchpad as you need them from a smaller amount of data, instead of storing all of it in advance. Unfortunately, that won't work with BBR, because the scratchpad comes from the blockchain itself.

Disclaimer: I developed some FPGA and GPU miners back in the day.

i need to sent some BBR but poloneix said it is invalid adress, sorry i am not familary to BBR

First it is adress?
and
second it is payment id?

altogether as one string this doesn't work for you? no payment id

Do you have address alias ? Is @1blockologist reserved ?  
Edit. Now solomining for 1blockologist for that address 1Cv..blabla lets have the BBR way...

We don't have an alias

Would like to reserve @blockology @1blockologist

two blocks needed! we will only be testing the mining clients as other people are interested in the decentralization of the network already in a competitive way

It is done, the wallet now has 2 aliases : @blockology and @1blockologist but need checking for sure, I did solomining for both addresses but who knows someone else had other purposes and find blocks quicker than me.

I wonder where to check the aliases, because usually they are on boolberry.com/networkstate but now that link is empty.

We have large whales in BBR that wisely bought low while CZ was absent. Moving forward a % of them want to divest some of their holdings.

Meanwhile there are whales that would like to enter BBR but find it difficult because of liquidity.

I am going to facilitate an OTC market. If you are interested in large BBR purchases OTC I can help facilitate this.

For full disclosure, I own 2.275% of BBR but will not be selling it OTC or anytime in the near future for that matter. I am facilitating this market for others.

keep the word up! I've been working behind the scenes trying to get this going too

BBR daemon has the RPC command get_all_alias_details() for listing all aliases. The following uses my script (https://github.com/teknohog/bittools) for a cleaner printout:

Code:

$ cnfo.py --listaliases | grep blocko

It will be great to have bbr on chinese markets

Any progress with the Twitter acct yet? Be good to have it kept updated, help spread the word.

Not for moment!!
Not recevei message CZ, i think he manage account twitter, if he have not time, i can also manage!!

Why does mining take up so much ram? Is it possible to do something about so I can start mining?

I have a potential buyer looking for 321,000 BBR at .00022 or best offer.

If you are a current holder of BBR and are looking to sell or need some liquidity at a good price via trusted escrow, PM me.


They are not comfortable putting that much Bitcoin on the exchanges, and are also not comfortable influencing the order book.

I get some reports from users which are unable to connect to https://bbr.suprnova.cc after mining sucessfully.

Your scratchpad.bin is outdated, get a new one from here: https://bbr.suprnova.cc/scratchpad.bin

It seems not all clients download them reliably.

is it currently under DDOS ?

can't we make it more expensive for them to do this, more machines to DDOS?

The network has rate has more than doubled since my announcement and subsequent price increase, so keep up the public fight

Are there code upgrades that could/will make setting up and maintaining mining pools easier?

clintar2 mentioned there seems to be memory leak in the miner, I wonder if other communities encountered this, or if it could be a unique problem with the wild keccak algorithm

I did? I don't remember saying that. Maybe you are referring to my old post about the experimental keepalive version of my miner that was having issues? that's fixed up in the repos now.

[clintar2]

The scratchpad has always been a painful piece of work, I don't know how many times I've had to re download it. It just keeps getting bigger n' bigger, there have been times I've had to stop mining because of download

restrictions of my ISP. If 1blockologist is going to take over development,it would be a good place to start and sort this out. It is so painful to have to re download scratchpad after a reboot because you've had to do

some update that requires a reboot, or suffered from a power failure.

Cheers Jon 

I wish the scratchpad can be generated in gpu memory like that genoil ethminer or claymore ethminer. is it possible dev mbk ?

No, it's created as part of the result of finding a block, and isn't just appended, but parts get changed every block. It would take a fundamental change to the way the hashing works to do that.

I had no time to look deeply yet, but there are at least a few miners around who do not increment scratchpad.bin correctly, they always request n + x blocks without adding the latest blocks to their scratchpad.

So while the good miners are always just requesting the last block, those miners request at first the last block, then the last two, then the last three, the last four and so on.. I had one miner on the pool who requested 35000 Blocks
