An important update for Chinese miners and other cypherpunks.

Now you can activate the bridge between any other device. For Chinese miners, devices outside of China are available for output only. 它有双重功能--它可以保护你的连接也没有人会发现你在挖任何加密货币可以让你获得全部奖励,而不是一部分.

These bridges mix your traffic randomly and encrypt with an additional key + salt between the bridges. This obfuscate your pool connections and makes traffic analysis difficult. At the local level this makes it impossible to understand what you are mining.
Unlike public VPN services, it does not use shared widely known servers and does not keep logs (because the device does not have free memory for this, ha-ha). This does not mix your mining traffic with other traffic that can identify you. The mining traffic usualy is very small and it is lost against the background of other legal data.

The work logic resembles a torrent: you use everyone and everyone uses you.

Please note that the feature will be enabled by default in the March update. 获取更多信息请联系我们。

So, the batch was made ahead of time and the first 50 devices left today! All buyers will receive automatic track notifications as they are sent.
The documentation will be available in your personal account, look for the link in the email.
It was difficult for us, but thank for your support to all buyers!  Cheesy

Will the EIP1559 be an obstacle to work?
Of course not. This will work until the POS.

If the pool is well protected, this will inform the user.
Do I have to look into the web interface for control every time? If something changes on the pool during operation?
You said earlier it will be possible to adjust how many non gold shares to send to solo pool, but I don't see this in the interface.
Front panel LEDs indicate that operation cannot be continued. During this time, the device will operate as a straight bridge. Perhaps in the future I will add an e-mail notice.

This function has been removed, for most pools the required number of shares can be understood from the node version and other public parameters.

I am not too technical with the details
But that didn't stop you from calling the project a scam Wink

So miners end up hashing this code and if they find a block, the hash originally contains the pool info in the paramter.
ExtraNonce, yes, this is a problem in bitcoin's stratum1. But in ETH, the situation is somewhat different.
EthereumStratum1 does not have a mandatory ExtraNonce (except the mining.set_extranonce notice that can be rejected), but it have etherbase and task ID.
The etherbase hashed, but task ID and message id - not. Obviously, the solo pool will not accept a task with an incorrect ID and we have to repack the data asap.
It is expensive to have different nodes (for PPLNS and SOLO) and sometimes pools are tricky here. The daemon is the same, but the task changes a little. From the outside, it looks like different nodes, but a little traffic analysis allows you to determine this trick and use this. The task changes every 3 seconds (or less) and so I use Cyclone IV FPGA Smiley
This is the tip of iceberg known to everyone. There are also lesser-known vulnerabilities that I exploit. In any case, the ShareSwitch scans the pool first and tries to configure the most profitable exchange. And only then analyzes and changes the traffic. If the pool is well protected, this will inform the user.
Each pool's admin is lazy in his own way. And each pool has its own vulnerabilities. EthereumStratum2 has a range of ExtraNonces for each miner, for example. This opens up new possibilities and closes some outdated ones. Some of these vulnerabilities could have been closed years ago, but the developers are too lazy... Most likely, it will never be closed again, because there is a POS ahead.

If you don't believe me choose some low hashrate ETH clone type coin OR fork your own and see if you can actually succeed in doing this.
Wrong way. It does not depend on the hashrate. However, ETC has even more holes, eah...

Mine on your local pool and if you find a block, try and send that block to the network with your solo client, and see what happens.
I've explained to you how it works. It's a little more complicated than you imagine Smiley
But for example in Bitcoin Stratum V2 such a scenario is possible after some manipulations. I have a video where ASIC works in this mode.

JayDDee
used for eth it would be so obvious and easy to exploit it would be common knowledge
It is not easy to use and it has been known for a long time. It's just that every teenager could do it before, now you need an FPGA for this.

The only reason to use an FPGA is to steal the block from the miner who tried to sleal it in a true MIM attack, ie attack both ends.
So, can I steal the block or not? Wink
This device is placed between the miner and the router. There are thousands ways to uncover unnecessary connections and traffic. And of course it can be blocked at the router level. What is the point of such a scenario?

That's *if* such a bug exists, and if it did it would have destroyed Eth mining by now.
I'll just remind you that CryptoNight ASICs (Baikal Giant-N etc.) existed long before the official release and everyone claimed that this impossible.
The first FPGA miners for bitcoin did not appear in the RadioShack.
This device has been around for a long time too. This only manifests itself if you have found a block. If not, no one will notice the changes. Don't worry, POS will kill mining much earlier Wink

malefactor
You don't like FPGA, I see Smiley

He copied some ideas/text from how real FPGAs are done.
The real FPGAs are done on the factory. Your question about bitstream maybe?

OK, this is because you need microsecond response times?
Because it contains a lot of operations that the AR9331 will not be able to handle. AEAD, for example.

Software-driven-implementation delays on the order of miliseconds don't matter for mining.
Yep. But without FPGA, it will take seconds. The task changes every 3 seconds or less in ETH, do you know?

You are selling a toaster, it does one thing only, and it's unique with zero competition.
The iPhone is also very simple. Plastic and glass only. If you analyze it without any knowledge, of course Wink

It's far easier to implement everything you describe in software
Again an easy implementation of an impossible technology?.. Please decide: either it's impossible, or it's easy to implement?

you can't make the argument for asking for pre-orders because you have to fund physical device development (which is of course very expensive, made more expensive due to component shortages), can you?
The development is completed in April, check the publication dates. It could have been ready in May, but I couldn't buy the components until July.
No pre-order has been paid. No one has paid before. Keep your fantasies to yourself.

By "endpoint" you mean "miner".  But "endpoint" sounds more technical, because that's hardware lingo
By "endpoint" I mean endpoint. Learn the terminology first.

PCIe CEM spec among others
USB have endpoints and many other interfaces. It is a good practice to use Google before posting. No need to thank me, sir  Roll Eyes

All you're claiming to do is mine on two pools at once.  It's not rocket science.  It's not even particularly hard.
For all the mining platforms/OS in one box? You can implement it at any time and compete with me!

why do you need microsecond speed on a task that can see  milliseconds of delay without issue?
Because I know a little more than you do.

Bottom line:  usec speed isn't a requirement to do the task.  The use of an FPGA provides no value and is a complicated, difficult solution to something that can be easily done in software.
I will look at your developments with undisguised pleasure. Especially in FPGAs.

you CANNOT send that hash yourself to the network
1. Do you understand that bitcoin's stratum2 is based on similar principleRoll Eyes 
2. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5331736.msg56872924#msg56872924
3. In getwork protocol, in 2011, in BTC, this worked great! And in chia for the past two months  Grin For this reason, the BTC stratum1 was launched. But I will repeat again: BTC stratum != eth stratum. Stratum1 != Stratum2 etc. If you undertook to criticize the project, specify the coin, the stratum version, the pool version, etc. Otherwise, it is philosophy.

Yes, I have used them in the past and could still...I would just like to be in control of it all and not worry about anyone "borrowing" hash rate for free.
I'm using the MRR for several years and they never stole hashrate...
You can of course use my device. But it will not be cost-effective. This uses a expensive FPGA to work.
Any open source router is your choice IMHO. OpenWrt etc.

Maybe you have some ideas while you are waiting chips for your project/equipment.
My device can do this, but it's much easier to use the https://miningrigrentals.com/ IMHO
It is not necessary to rent on. Although sometimes it gives x2 to the market.
But this has a user-friendly interface for switching between coins and pools and any more controls the traffic.

Hey! Some news.
1. We will try to mount all the videos in a small movie soon.
2. Now we are negotiating the production of a batch. We agreed on two options - in a plastic case and naked (in transparent heat-shrink tube). Naked will be cheaper.
The price will depend on the quantity too. We have several hundred pre-orders now and are targeting one thousand devices. This is not the biggest batch for China... If we order five thousand, the price will drop by half. We hope that interest in the project will rise...
3. The end of testing is scheduled for mid-June.

The truth is, it has been in use for years  Smiley Recently, a simple proxy server could route eth shares (on some pools this is still possible). In getwork days, it was used everywhere. I just made a simple one button device.
It's like VPN or tor. Complex technology, but there are solutions with one button.

Hive allows you to get more performance but you have to tweak the cards anyway. It's better to find a specialist who will configure it remotely. There are many similar proposals now. I cannot help because I have no experience with green cards.
Hive allows you to use any pool.
Hive rapes the flash drive, it dies very quickly. Use HDD.

If I have mining power to find block in reasonable timeframe, I don't need pool.
If I need pool, I don't need FPGASwitch because I don't have mining power to find block in reasonable timeframe.
What you say means subsidizing the weak miners at the expense of the strong. But the pool is not created for charity.
In reality everyone has a chance to find a block. Even using one processor in Solo. You can do two iterations and find a golden nonce, or you can do two million iterations and find nothing. Everything depends on the starting nonce.

You choose a low salary and no bonus. Well, this is your choice.

WoolyPooly was attacked in a similar way recently.
I believe half of the young pools are subject to similar attacks. This is difficult to detect such at low hashrate. I first learned about this more than two years ago and continue to notice. This is the eternal struggle between good and evil  Sad
It's a fight of skills. Yes, many vulnerabilities have been known over the years. Some were received recently. I have not invented anything new, I have only combined it all into a userfrendly device.
Because it is based an FPGA it can be updated via the internet.

Indeed this is impossible. We have software that detects if something like this is running and we ban the miner.

I'm a little lost. A week ago this was impossible due to a stratum connection. Now you talking about software to block the impossible.
Why block the impossible?  Huh
