Hi, good morning.
I need a help with something.
I have a Bitaxe Supra. I have a full node too, and for learning I make a python script that takes block data with "bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate", mount the block and try to mine this block.
So I trying to do samething with my Bitaxe, but, trying/testing how to process the block I get trouble and stuck.
I don't know if I mounting the merkle root in wrong order or what, but the nonce returned is never right.
For tests I get the block 850253:
// Cabeçalho do bloco:
// Versão: 0x20a00000
// Hash do bloco anterior: 0000000000000000000121c6c2fb091c8f23192b23ccb978313a121e673ee94e
// Hash da árvore de Merkle: fab947d4de52402c7b71d64c24ebf9e8912742358b4f841b3edcdf1a62ce5a62
// Timestamp: 0x6682d0fa
// Bits de dificuldade: 0x17035d25
// Nonce: 0x4325613f
// Hash do bloco: 000000000000000000018e6395574b2c177aa0033fb4736bb5a3b6d38a040f41
// Hash do midstate: c6aafbd036459eeb9267395191bed72439bd1724bbf5898355c65a0489f6f01
With dumping the block data I get that prev block hash is in diferent order:
FROM THIS: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 21 C6 C2 FB 09 1C 8F 23 19 2B 23 CC B9 78 31 3A 12 1E 67 3E E9 4E
TO THIS: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C6 21 01 00 1C 09 FB C2 2B 19 23 8F 78 B9 CC 23 1E 12 3A 31 4E E9 3E 67
Nonce, bits, timestamp and version I think is ok, but the merkle root I don't know how to calculate from stratum data, so I don't able to compare o dump like i did with prev block hash.
I was thinking about the asic diff or asic mask, but if someone get um hash above current difficult he in fact find the block so I realize that was not the problem, although I don't realy understand how it works (bitmask, verison mask, etc.)
Before someone try me to install a local stratum, I'm not interesting, that will be easy, I just want make it work.
Thankful for your help!
