Re: Acorn M.2 FPGA based GPU Accelerator

CNv2 and General: SQRL Miner loads bitstreams onto the Acorn and will get updated to handle various things. The Acorn in particular works on a part of CN that isn’t much affected by the fork.


Nevertheless they are claiming all FPGAs will be 4x slower on CNv2. Is this true for the Acorns?

Re: Bitmain is disclosing it's hashrate

Metroid you have seen that f3 and g3 asics right? Some pics or more informations? No?

What kind of question is that? Did you see pics of the E3, or informations, before it was announced to the public?

I don´t now why people say that the eth hashrate spikes unnormal, but in my opinion they rise normal. GPU´s are cheap and enough in stock, new GPU´s are faster than old one´s. So don´t make panic.

https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate

Because they aren't, no sane amount of GPUs will account for that spike, no sane investor able to afford that many GPUs will buy them, with ASICs coming out right and left, especially when there are *no new GPUs* right now, where are you pulling that from anyway?

And this is also the reason why the eth devs don´t fork asic resistent, it is not necessary, because the asics are to slow at the moment to centralise the eth network.

**A** dev refused to fork, everybody knows who, the others merely complied, everybody knows how it all went down.

I dont get that did 2 orders with no problems.


Good for you, I see other people with problems ordering. That it worked for you in no way means their checkout system is viable for everyone.

They are straight forward and clear with the performance numbers, but you might have a hard time wrapping your head arround their numbers.

They aren't, every official table has but a handful of numbers filled in, only Lyra2Rev2 and X16r have a decent amount of info on them but nothing is concrete, that is the entire point.

What i think is really shitty is that they have next to no information on the nest cards..
They have an onboard dma engine, so in theory you should be able to boost 4 gpu's using 2 acorns on a nest x2g card, IN A x1 motherboard slot. But noone want to confirm or deny.

One thing they are consistent about is suggesting that in most cases the best configuration is one acorn per gpu. Interpretations can vary but you seem awfully keen in thinking yours is the only one

For solo fpga mining youre the wrong place go buy a bcu1525, acorns are generaly to small to fit solo mining without to manny dirty tricks.

Last time I checked SQRL mentions standalone mining in some capacity using the CLE-215(+) acorns, why are you trying to decide what their products are intended for? Now that I think about it, did anywhere I mention I'm interested in solo fpga mining? No? Thought so. I merely said proper information on a shipping product is lacking in every aspect.

So, when it comes to Ethash, the Acorn will increase Nvidia's UP TO 10%, and AMD's UP TO 15%. And you need minimum 1 acorn per 4 GPU's, so best case scenario is you're getting about $0.45 per day boost. the Cle-101 is $200, so it'll take over 400 days for ROI.
Am I missing something?
I know it may save some energy, but most people run at 75% TDP anyway.

Agreed.

Most of the suggested ideal configurations are 1:1, that adds a hefty cost overhead to a GPU.

There are too many unknowns in the air right now, I'm not saying this is an scam, at all, but SQRL is not being that straightforward or clear with the performance numbers for a product that is supposed to be shipping right now. Standalone mining is another big question mark, if viable at all.

Given how messy the ordering process is at this point, a wait and see attitude is best.

I still wanna see the look on people's faces IF ZEN decides not to fork.

"The ZenCash development team, in collaboration with the community, reserves the right to review and change the decision to Hard Fork, especially if it is determined that changing the Equihash-144-5 algorithm will not be effective in promoting decentralization of mining."

Just put the anti-progress, racist GPU owners who are unwilling to adapt to changes in mining on your ignore list and embrace the future of ASICs and FPGAs.

Jihan is that you buddy?

Ignoring for a moment that you are definitely not giving free money, you have ads and a pretty rigged dice game, you expect people to just believe in your "stats"? Keep that hubris in check btw, that thing takes entire empires down.

There are no adverts and the dice game is provably fair. The free rolls are free to play and you are guaranteed to get a reward so it definitely is giving free money.


I stand corrected, my mistake, confused this with another thread, post deleted.

Isn't Monero Classic sponsored by Bitmain?



It's pretty obvious it is, just like Psychobitch suggest, they should just go ahead and call it Monero Cash.

Re: Network Attack on XVG / VERGE
by
Ramon1
on 06/04/2018, 17:33:48 UTC
sharing this from grant hunter.... worth the read.

The exploit itself is very smart. The attacker has used the flaws in Verge’s code to put an older timestamp on their fake blocks to trick the network into thinking that the fake chain is the real one, by having this broadcast to over 51% of the nodes. They have gained consensus, effectively taking control of the XVG chain. This has meant that the ‘real’ blocks being mined by legitimate miners, are seen as the false ones, and therefore are ignored (orphaned).

The reason why trading is still possible, is because the ‘fake’ chain is still verifying transactions so people can still trade the coin, however, the attacker is adding extra blocks and making extra free XVG for themselves.


No matter how much they try to PR spin their way around this, if what you say is true and the attacker basically gained control of the blockchain to the point they are printing and trading coins by themselves and for themselves, XVG as it is now is ruined. Instead of being so incredibly arrogant, the dev(s) should've shut it down until they could hardfork.

Great write up summing the course of events, it should be posted other places for visibility. As you well say, people oughta get as informed as they can be.

What's happen on Zpool? Second 51 % attack???



It seems to be also happening on Suprnova, again, rightnow my miners are just blazingly fast moving through blocks, no shares are being submitted.


https://nlpool.nl/site/block?id=561
http://yiimp.eu/site/block?id=562

yeah pools are still finding blocks, and this wont be an issue anymore shortly. we will be pushing an update and contacting all pool admins.

also, to clarify, this isn't a hack, it's an exploit/attack on mining, and will be resolved very soon. of course i'm calm, this happens in crypto all the time.

how much eth has been stolen this year? this is insignificant in contrast.

Just how long is "very soon"?? Do you realize that by not fixing this immediatley you are basically letting people use the exploit to get free XVG, right?  I strongly recommend that you check your attitude about the whole thing before you turn it all into a huge PR shitfest.

Ramon1, as long as our members are honest and not trying to "cheat" the system we are pretty flexible and understanding. In general, for instance, there's no issue with two people on the same IP as long as they're not referring each other (which our system usually detects and disallows anyway). We built Cointiply for our members, and we want everyone (including us!) to have fun and be able to earn some cryptocurrency with it.

If you are unsure about something specific please open a support ticket and ask. We will let you know.

Thanks for the question.

Thank *you* for clarifying that!

I'm still at 12

Due to btc making a recovery right now, I'm down to 11.

Back to 24 sat, had sent a pm to wetsuit and myfe with my ip address, did not get any confirmation mail, but maybe turning off my wi-fi and using mobile ip address did the trick, I really don't how the issue was fixed. No hi-lo rolls, did make 1L satoshis deposit.


So turning off the wi-fi is the solution?
That's ridiculous!


I never said it's the solution, Just tried switching my IP address!



But you did say you made a depost, is that right? As time goes by I'm getting convinced that the "solution" to this "issue" is making a deposit.


Again, I really don't how the issue was fixed.

I had made the Deposit long back.

All I said is that you mentioned making a deposit, I've seen a quite a few comments here and elsewhere from people saying they issue was fixed after a deposit. I just wish they'd come forward and state if/what is the problem and how to fix it. If there is a policy now that people should make deposits every now and then to keep rewards normal, they should clarify that also. For the time being I've moved to the bonus bitcoin faucet, nowhere near as much options but the base rewards can be claimed four times per hour, making the overall daily average much higher. Will come back to freebitcoin if the owners every care to fix/clarify this situation though.

ebusimom,

We are sorry that you are unable to access the site, it has nothing to do with you specifically though. Occasionally people try to abuse Cointiply and we are forced to block small IP ranges temporarily. You were just unlucky and your IP is within one of the currently blocked ranges. Keep on trying and your IP will be unblocked shortly!

What counts as abuse per se? Can a couple of people use the same under the same ip range?

Then try to PM Myfe.

Unfortunately neither wetsuit nor myfe have been online since the last week, more for wetsuit. When I went to their twitter I found hundreds of posts of people reporting the same problem, and haven't received a reply there either. If this is not a bug but a new norm for non-paying/non-profitable users they should just come forward with it.

Hmmm prize table has changed now and is back up to 23 sataoshis.  Shame about all I lost yesterday and up to now today......
Not true for me though Sad
Did you do anything for it to change back?

Same here, it's still halved, heck, it even went from 13 to 12 satoshis.

Bitcoin is dropping, but my payout here is dropping even faster, now I am getting only 13 per free claim suddenly...  Undecided Shouldn't it increase when Bitcoin drops? I somehow thought it is related to USD not BTC. It should incease not decrease if that's the case.

Same here, I was getting like 24 satoshis a couple of hours ago, and all of a sudden, 13 in the last roll, maybe an anti-cheater system running amok? Ah well....

ETH will be great again, a coin for long term holding.
Yeah the ASICs will drive the price crazy high. Just HOLD ethereum

That just hasn't happened for other coins though, LTC, DASH, SIA...
Unless Bitmain makes an official statement, the F3 remains nothing more than a rumor, one that makes little sense with Casper crawling closer.

Masternode holders are the ones who have invested the most, and who also have the most to lose. I think it makes perfect sense the have masternode holder voting.

If you think that is "centralised", then crypto itself is pretty centralised. Large holders can influence the price a lot more than small ones...

Well, maybe people think that because it is centralized, with a z.

I'm not sure who are you trying to sell that smoke to, as if all crypto were based off PoS and Masternodes.
PoS is even more centralized as BTC core and cash with Bitmain level of huge ASIC farms, every bit like it, only PoW is more secure than PoS, and at the same time masternodes are every bit like a pyramid scheme, interesting that while a coin like ETH hasn't found the way to make a move towards a fair PoS scheme, DMD has both PoS and Masternodes. But yeah, you just keep selling that smoke.
