What is it with you and bash scripts? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Can you do nothing else? I think the scripts are rather useful. They are far more portable than having to mess with wxwidgets or whatever the hell else just to get what should be a simple console application to work. They are also easy to understand. I would love to see many perl, python, and shell implementations of bitcoin.

I'm saying that everything Grondilu does is in bash, or at least everything he has proposed is in bash. I am sure that he's a bash wizard at this point though.

Here is my first attempt to recompute the hash of the Genesis block: #{ # "hash":"000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f", # "ver":1, # "prev_block":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", # "mrkl_root":"4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b", # "time":1231006505, # "bits":486604799, # "nonce":2083236893,

printf "%2x%64s%64s%16x%16x%16x" $ver $prev_block $mrkl_root $time $bits $nonce | sed 's/ /0/g' | xxd -pr | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl dgst -sha256 -hex | sed 's/^.* //'
So far it doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

If you manage to figure out that (recomputing the hashes through shell) then that'd be great for everybody. I'm also curious how to do this.

I know this is a poor programming method, but I've tried a whole bunch of combinations for the size of each value: #{ # "hash":"000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f", # "ver":1, # "prev_block":"0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", # "mrkl_root":"4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b", # "time":1231006505, # "bits":486604799, # "nonce":2083236893,

for s in - '' do for a in 2 4 do for b in 64 128 do for c in 16 24 32 do printf "%$s${a}x%$s${b}s%$s${b}s%$s${c}x%$s${c}x%$s${c}x" $ver $prev_block $mrkl_root $time $bits $nonce | sed 's/ /0/g' | xxd -pr | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl dgst -sha256 -hex | sed 's/^.* //' done done done done
None of them works. I pledge 5 BTC to whoever finds the correct way.

Perhaps this will help:
printf "%s%s%s%s%s%s" 01000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 3ba3edfd7a7b12b27ac72c3e67768f617fc81bc3888a51323a9fb8aa4b1e5e4a 29ab5f49 ffff001d 1dac2b7c | xxd -r -p | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | openssl dgst -sha256 -hex

A key thing you were missing is byte swapping. I manually byte-swapped all the inputs. You'll have to figure out how to script that.

Am I right when I assume that xxd is supposed to produce a binary block that corresponds to the hex stream? If so, then ‘xxd -p -r’ might be what you're looking for. E.g. # A=0x41, B=0x42, C=0x43 $ echo 414243 | xxd -r -p && echo ABC $
Not that it helps much in the actual situation… Cheers,

Cool! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The following patch might make the script a tad more computationally efficient: diff --git a/bashhash.sh b/bashhash.sh index a99bf9d..1bddd92 100644 --- a/bashhash.sh +++ b/bashhash.sh @@ -24,8 +24,8 @@ time=1231006505 bits=486604799 nonce=2083236893 -printf "%8x%8x%8x%64s%64s%8x" $nonce $bits $time $mrkl_root $prev_block $ver | -sed 's/ /0/g' | +printf "%08x%08x%08x%64s%64s%08x" $nonce $bits $time $mrkl_root $prev_block $ver | +tr ' ' '0' | bigEndianHex2littleEndianHex | xxd -r -p | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary |
If basically uses printf to format the numbers, and uses tr instead of sed. Cheers,

yep, I've edited (we actually don't need tr either, by the way).
I also tested on the second block. I worked fine.

grondilu: I also wonder if all communications could not be done using HTTP. Blocks would be published via http GET method (giving the hash of the preceding block), and transactions could be sent via POST method.
One advantage of using http would be that it would be very hard for governments to forbid. Where did you get to with the network connection side of this, netcat could be an option. I agree that a Busybox dependency limitation would be a good place to put some boundaries to begin with.

Ok now, let's try to make the Merkle tree. The first block with more than one transaction is the block 170. It has two transactions and its Merkle tree is: { "b1fea52486ce0c62bb442b530a3f0132b826c74e473d1f2c220bfa78111c5082", "f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16", "7dac2c5666815c17a3b36427de37bb9d2e2c5ccec3f8633eb91a4205cb4c10ff" } The third is the Merkle root. My first attempt is this code: { bigEndianHex2littleEndianHex <<<"$a" |xxd -p -r ; bigEndianHex2littleEndianHex <<<"$b" |xxd -p -r ; } |openssl dgst -sha256 -hex
Needless to say, the version without bigEndianHex2littleEndianHex didn't work either.

In the same vein: perhaps bigEndianHex2littleEndianHex() should use echo -n or printf instead of just echo… Cheers,
