Re: Das Geheimnis hinter einer "proof-of-burn" (PoB) Bitcoin Adresse
by
citb0in
on 04/07/2025, 09:26:12 UTC

Der zugeordnete public key besteht aus lauter Nullen, die Adresse 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 hat den public key RIPEMD 160 Hash 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. Demnach ist die Existenz des hierzu passenden privaten Schlüssels annähernd unmöglich. Zu dieser Adresse gibt es demnach keinen private key.
Nein, der Public Key (es gibt viele(!), dazu weiter unten mehr) besteht nicht aus lauter Nullen, sondern ist schlicht unbekannt, weil ihn niemand hat. Korrekt ist die Aussage
HASH160(unbekannter Public Key)=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, wobei mit HASH160() folgendes gemeint ist: RIPEMD(SHA256()) (man hasht zuerst mit SHA256() und die resultierenden 32 Bytes dann mit RIPEMD(), was dann 20 Bytes oder 40 Hex-Ziffern ergibt.
Gut aufgepasst!

Dieser Einleitungssatz von mir war ungeschickt ausgedrückt und falsch:
Quote
Der zugeordnete public key besteht aus lauter Nullen

Die darauffolgende Aussage jedoch ist korrekt:
Quote
die Adresse 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 hat den public key RIPEMD 160 Hash 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Da sehr wahrscheinlich, ich glaube sogar mathematisch beweisbar ein Private Key einen eindeutigen Public Key ergibt, dürfte es demzufolge relativ sicher auch ca. 296 eindeutige Private Keys geben, die die P2PKH-Adresse 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 produzieren (dito für alle anderen öffentlichen Adressen).
Sicherlich nicht. Es gibt mit sehr hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit keinen gültigen Public Key auf der secp256k1-Kurve, der diese PoB-Adressen erzeugt. Das ist kein Protokollverbot, sondern eine mathematische Unmöglichkeit (praktisch gesehen). Um so einen Public Key zu finden müsste man ein preimage für die doppelte Hash160-Funktion erzeugen. Aber beide hier zum EInsatz kommende Hashfunktionen SHA256 und RIPEMD160 sind nicht linear oder umkehrbar und erschwerend kommt hinzu der gigantische Suchraum von 2²⁵⁶. Und selbst wenn man eine solche Zeichenfolge zufällig finden würde, die diese h160 ergibt so müsste man noch prüfen, ob sie überhaupt ein gültiger Public Key ist, denn es muss 'nen Punkt auf der secp256k1 Kurve darstellen. Nur Punkte welche die Gleichung y² = x³ + 7 mod p erfüllen, sind gültige pubkeys. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein zufällig erzeugtes Bytearray mit dem hash160 voller Nullen ein valider Punkt auf der Kurve ist, ist vernachlässigbar gering.

Es ist astronomisch unwahrscheinlich, dass irgendein gültiger secp256k1-Public Key existiert, der zu so einer Adresse passt.

Die Adresse ist daher als synthetisches Produkt anzusehen, mit einem absichtlich gewählten hash160, der nicht aus einem realen pubkey stammt. Gewollt und bewusst, deshalb werden diese Addressen als PoB genutzt. Hinzu kommt noch OP_RETURN im script, um coins definitiv und irreparabel unspendable zu machen.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass ein gültiger secp256k1-Public Key existiert, der exakt die Adresse 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 erzeugt, ist so unfassbar gering, dass du eher ein Kaffeefleck-Muster auf deiner Hose entdeckst, das die Lösung der Riemannschen Vermutung enthält  Grin

I have modified FixedPaul VanitySearch, which allow custom start:end range and add new totally random mode without any sequential approach, but since i also create my own version of range slicing code, i use sequential in this process -snip-

does anyone know a fork or similar program like keyhunt-cuda that works for p2sh addresses (addresses with prefix 3........) ?

And break what? There's an infinite amount of possible redemption scripts. There's nothing that says you'd find a matching script hash for a single script entry, you would then have to try all permutations for two entries, and then three, and so on. There might also be other script ops thrown into the mix, all of them need to be tried as well, until some script hash matches.

sorry, forgot to mention that. It's not related to puzzles. Just playin' around

the statistic shows the state of that particular time
lastshare = the time when the last share was submitted (in UNIX time).

Is it possible to compile for the Nvidia 5090? According this compute capability (ccap) should be 100, 100a or 120 or 120a. Tried all of them, but the compile fails. Didn't find appropriate matches in ./VC_CUDA102/Kangaroo.vcxproj

any clues how to compile and run on a 5090 ?

Topic OP
self-hosted solo mining pool, free and open-source
by
citb0in
on 23/03/2025, 16:23:01 UTC
Hey everybody,

which free and open-source mining pools are currently available that could be operated via self-hosting with an existing full node under Linux? I know that there is the soloCK pool available on bitbucket, but as far as I remember it was said somewhere that this code cannot be used like this but requires some customization. Is that still true or false information? Is there a ready-made and functional version of the soloCK pool that you could build, install and use on a Linux node which is already running bitcoind? soloCK is trustworthy and we know it works as we've seen dozens of blocks mined using this software several times (coinbase tx sig).

I recently read somewhere about a solo mining pool called "Public Pool" that can either be installed and used as part of umbrel as an app or could also be operated as a self-hosted solo mining pool isolated from umbrelOS. I am not sure, but at a first glance I got the impression that this is possibly not complete open-source and thus not trustworthy. I don't want to mine a block to find out afterwards that something weird happened and I never got the reward. I also read some negative reports about this solo pool called “Public Pool” on the net, but I am not sure if this is true. Can anyone confirm this or is it just based on the personal sensitivities of individuals? What are your opinion about that solo mining pool called "Public Pool" ?

I tried looking for some alternatives and stumbled across:

https://github.com/tpruvot/yiimp
https://github.com/Coleganet/Coleganet-Pool-Install
https://github.com/jtoomim/p2pool
https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal

Although they have not been updated for a long time and it looks like they are not updated regularly.

Then I've also found this here:

https://github.com/stratum-mining/stratum

but I'm not sure whether it even fulfills the intended purpose or not.

So, are there any miners among you who mine at home on their own full node and with their own solo pool, maybe even with a successfully mined block and who could recommend a specific setup? I am aware of the risks of high latency risks and possible orphan blocks resulting from this but: please - don't start a debate about why not mine on existing solo pools, that's not the point.

I look forward to a lively discussion, thank you.

Re: Bitaxe Gamma vs Lucky Miner Lv08 oder Alternative ?

Den Shop habe ich entdeckt und deshalb meine Überlegung ob und wie ich zusammenstelle und wo bestellen. Bei miningwholesale kostet der Bitaxe Gamma 601 mit 40W Netzteil inkl. Steuer und Versand 200 €. Also nur 10€ günstiger als wenn man bei den deutschen Shops kauft (abgesehen davon, dass die standard Verkaufsangebot ein 30W Netzteil anbieten, der bei miningwholesale hätte ein stärker dimensioniertes Netzteil von 40W).

Der NerdQAxe hat doch gar kein BM1370 sondern 4xBM1368 und aus diesem Grund hatte ich ihn mir nicht näher angeschaut. Gäbe es etwas mit 2x oder 3x oder 4x BM1370 so würde mich das auch interessieren.

Danke euch für die hilfreichen infos. Reicht es wenn man den erwähnten Noctua Lüfter mit nimmt oder sollte man auch noch einen andren Kühlkörper und spezielle Noctua Kühlpaste verwenden? Per Default mit 30W Netzteil sollte er 1.2 Th/s schaffen, oder? Können das die Bitaxe Gamma Besitzer unter euch bestätigen? Was für Hashrate ist beim Übertakten zu erwarten mit jeweils Noctua-Lüfter und besser Kühler+Noctua-Lüfter ? Reichen 30W Netzteil aus oder sollte es dann 40W Netzteil sein ? Ein paar Erfahrungswerte würden mir sehr helfen, um meinen Warenkorb zu füllen und zu bestellen.

BIG THANKS!!!
