In either case it's not enough to break SHA256, it's also needed to break RIPEMD160 and ECDSA.
You could "just" break RIPEMD-160 & SHA-256 OR ECDSA (limited to addresses where the PubKey is known).
Find a PubKeyB such that for an existing PubKey A they both produce the same PubKeyHash.
i.e. RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(SHA-256(PubKeyA)) == PubKeyHashA RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(SHA-256(PubKeyB)) == PubKeyHashB
If PubKeyHashA == PubKeyHashB then the private key for either PubKeyA or PubKeyB can spend coins sent to Address A or B even if PubKeyA =/= PubKeyB.
Remember in a normal Bitcoin tx you are not paying to the PubKey you are paying to the hash of the PubKey.
1. How do you get Private Key B that's needed to sign the transaction?
2. Isn't address generation RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(PubKey)) rather than RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(SHA-256(PubKey))?

Re: [OPEN] Bitmine CoinCraft 28nm chip distribution (December W50, 42.5BTC/THps)

I have a question about the RESP_BIT. It seems it's only used for the 0x08 command.
If MCU want to read the result from chip 15, MCU will send out 0x080F. The spec says the RESP bit is set to 1, so that means the return format shall be 0x18FFDATA but it also says JOB_ID is Y i.e. 0xY8NNDATA. However the Job ID can be from 1 to 4. So there is a conflict, how does it represent Job ID#2 ? If it send out 0x28NNDATA then the RESP bit is not set, if the RESP bit is set, it would be 0x38NNDATA.
Does this mean that the JOB ID occupies the upper two bits? i.e. Return format: 32'b aabb1000NNNNNNNNDATADATADATADATA
where aa = job ID, bb = resp bit
Please clarify

Does the chip has internal oscillator? There is IN_CLOCK pin. Does the chip requires an external generator?
I think the IN_CLOCK pin is for SPI only, there is a PLL inside the chip.

Re: Is Avalon mining with customer hardware? Answer is here.
1. these are not batch #1,2 or 3 units. 2. all the openWRT firmware is burnt from a single image in batches, 3. the openWRT is used in more than just production units. 4. all burn-in is 24 or more hours, you all think we seriously only would have 700+ bitcoins if they were mining? LOL I can't believe I'm repeating myself by saying we are not mining with batch #2 or #3 units. 5. complains will just lead into refunds, since clearly people are not happy with Avalon ASIC. personally I'd love to issue these refunds so these people can go find the next thing to complain about and I can get some peace n quiet. 6. I'm going back to deal with trade-in and damaged orders.
Hi BitSyncom
How would the refund work? I am actually looking to sell my batch 3 as my family in visiting my small apartment. I would rather get a refund immediately than deal with escrow and all those issues?
Thanks!
open a ticket and pick the trouble type as REFUND.
support.avalon-asic.com
Thanks a lot BitSyncom, I just submitted the ticket

unfortunately, batch 3 probably won't arrive until july. and by then, the margins are razor. cloners coming out with 4 module avalons @ 36btc for 88g/hash. and terrahash and kncminer taking preorders, risk is pretty high for asics.
let me know if price drops though, there is still opportunity if avalon gets there shit together.
but i paid more than 100 BTC for this..
