Couldn't this be easily stopped if there was a limit on the difference between two blockchain heights was put into effect? because as far as I know the litecoin client currently accepts the longest chain as the most valid one. So this would prevent something I would call "chain hopping" on the client.

uh......no

Because you "plan" to have more than 50% of the network. But this would stop the current miners from moving to your chain, would it not?

have you tried just using reaper with those setting? and not just its kernel, although it shouldn't make a difference.

Atm the reaper opencl code sucks. My 5870 generates about 420kh/s, to use as a reference. So it should be getting like 6-700 or more from a 7970.
But how many accepted shares does it generate at that alleged hashrate?

According to the pool, about 55k accepted since the night of July 18th ( almost 3 days now) but I also game on this box. I also have a tri 5970 rig that has 250k+ accepted shares. I've found that the thread concurrency switch in reaper has a lot to do with stales/invalids. Also the calculated pool speed is usually +/- 10% of 420, right now at 436.

Re: Should a bitcoinica clone be put online ?
by

on 15/07/2012, 07:16:44 UTC
Would it be possible to hold bitcoins and use them to trade in a way like how blockchain.info has their wallet service setup? This would put everyone who deposits money in control of their own money in case the site goes down. If it is hacked, the private keys could be revealed so you would need to do the interaction with the wallet client-side. The downsides to this are that if the site goes down, the money in open positions (which would have to be moved from the clients wallet to a communal one) could be lost, and it would lead to massive bloat on the blockchain. To be effective (if ignoring bloat) the system would have to rely on 0 confirmation transactions.

The question remains why there hasnt been a police report initiated by the owners of bitcoinica. Shouldnt it be them and not yourself that initiates such a thing ? When else do you arbitrarily "inform the police " without the actual people involved doing it ?

We are still discussing this with our legal counsel actually, however filing the theft details pre-emptively from our side may make things easier and faster, and may protect us and our other customers too.

Re: ATTN Litecoin GPU Miners - Scrypt support for cgminer - Bounty required

From a GPU point of view I suspect it would probably just be a --kernel option
(and the kernels would have to have extra info about verifying shares)
The extra scrypt GPU options may or may not be necessary - I'm sure he'd work that out.

Of course, as the README already says, and has said for a very long time, you wouldn't be able to mine 2 different coins in one cgminer instance.

The current reaper cl file will do >400KH/s on a 6950 mining solo using the linux code
I tried that a few weeks ago when that represented 6 blocks a day - I got 3 blocks in ~12 hours
Now I guess that would be 1 or 2 blocks a day.

When I tried that on a pool it dropped to a bit over 220KH/s
So yes the linux reaper code dealing with talking to a pool is ... well ... crap Smiley

The side effect of adding scrypt to cgminer GPU mining will certainly be to make CPU mining even more pointless on LTC.

The specific part of the code that is crap is the logic for submitting shares. It stops a sharethread until it gets a response from the pool. To fix this you could
either rewrite the logic surrounding the threading (ie. just make a thread per piece of work when it is finished and leave it to itself) or you try increasing sharethreads.
Also try other pools, like ones that are close from a latency standpoint to you. But cgminer for litecoin would still be great.

If it was part of the main branch, it would be easiest to make people run it with a flag like --litecoin-mode or something. Its the least intrusive suggestion I could come up with in 10 seconds.

Threw in 8 Khs or so.... how can you afford the pps rate? 0.00200439512649220000??
Litecoinpool.org being the only other pps pool only pays out 0.00012501.

Am i missing something hear only a realitive noob could miss?

I can't be sure but litecoinpool uses share with a difficulty of 1 were as this pool im guessing has share at a higher difficulty.
