Re: [ANN] Bitcoin Gold : Make Bitcoin Decentralized Again

"Bitcoin Gold (BTG), the controversial cryptocurrency that launched to little fanfare with the idealistic goal of “making bitcoin decentralized again” by creating an ASIC-resilient mining ecosystem, wherein the gap between GPU/CPU mining and ASIC mining is smaller, keeps making headlines. This week a BTG developer, Martin Kuvandzhiev, allegedly hid a 0.5% fee into a BTG mining pool, sending the funds directly to his wallet."

meh; i guess; it was tacky move to not put in readme and make it clear about donation.  Technically i agree if he wrote the pool software a bit of donation is not awful thing; just a HUGE miss on not being extremely clear about it.   

But the center ideal of "hiding" in opensource code is a bit absurd and it told your miner on output...  Not like it was hidden at all in source; very clear.  People and their drama was a bit real though.

First thing i do is grep code for donation lines; more of pool owners just downloading and running software without even looking at code.  I am a bit concerned about irresponsible pool owners not even checking before putting a pool up...

Some results from mining with 6x1080ti rig; looking around 20-30USD a day; about average on what that rig can pull on other coins.  Diff was adjusted almost instantly; so there was 0 benefit in getting in on day 1.  Just lots of aggravation and issues; cost of being early.

Confirmed payouts coming from gpool.guru at this point; haven't tried any other pools yet.

Was around for testnet and release day; it was rocky at best.  There was a split in chain; caused basically 1-2 days of outages; some pools kind of paying and most of them not.  Lots of drama and people freaking out; understandable if you are pushing massive hashing power as there is a cost issue there. 

Wallet and getting a local node up is bit nightmarish; most of us are using coinomi or some other web wallet for now until the dust settles.  Inherent issue with the 160+gb blockchain from btc, along with issues mentioned earlier; after my 3rd download failed; gave up for this week.

If the team had just come in front of the issues and communicated / set expectations; would of paved the road and made less people angry.  too much silence followed by streams of FUD.  People drawing there own conclusions and attacking the poor pool owners. 

Then the scam websites were popping everywhere; as always; personally I would never paste private key into a webform; but eh.  Each there own. 

Overall i want to believe in the project; going give it 30 days before calling; skeptically remaining positive at this point.

What a more pathetic person is cryptodevil.
I will not say whether it is scam or not. I already made money with the mining
The community seems to have accepted signatum
Crowetic and crptodevil are the same person
Of all the scams you have posted in this forum
Cryptodevil only attacks signatum. without realizing that his reputation is on the ground

Cryptodevil you must be more man and enter into discord and ask the dev of signatum

and not to take advantage of the status of self-proclaimed avenger of the crypto

no, he doesnt attack only signatum, better you see his last posts

Welp; i guess you have to give him credit for energy and dedication at least; seems like a lot of effort.

Coming from software startup world; where only 5% make it; imagine coins and ICOs are about the same (if not worse).  So technically if you attacked every new coin; 95% of the time you are probably going be right.

Personally i started mining as a fun side project; i looked at all of this as a massive dumpster fire for money.  I just wanted to play with 8x GPU 1080ti rig cause it looked like fun.  Add in some influxdb to track miner stats; grafana; some hooks into nvidia-smi and mining pool website curl calls running in telegraf.  Eh; i got my money's worth.

I have no idea who this 'Crowetic' is you speak of. I believe he was somebody who originally was involved with this project, yes? If that is the case then he is probably just as guilty as the rest of the 'developers' behind this pump and dump scam.

Of all the scams you have posted in this forum Cryptodevil only attacks signatum.

I call bullshit on that claim by virtue of my post history proving otherwise.




I mined 40k with few rx 570s  the first day and I was maybe on of the first 10 or 15 to begin mining. I have absolutely no connection to any of the devs or anyone here. I was one of the very first to enter the telegram and discord groups. I was on crow's discord group before the split.  I am a private miner outside USA.

 the sudden announcement and rushed pow stage were not favorable but if you saw the thread as soon as me, you could have started mining and you would receive all of your coins no questions asked. And I, myself being a complete outsider in terms of relationships to this community or to the devs, was able to mine this much in a short amount of time.

Even if the first few to mine were devs or somewhat scammers or whomever, they could have only mined so much maybe a few million coins. And even this is by a very long stretch because I was checking the pools and used the explorer as soon as it was out. There are coins like denarius which are 10% premined. By a very long stretch, if devs were scammers, what they would have 2 or 3 percent of all signatums because a lot of hash entered quite quickly.

From day one to today, I have never seen any evidence by dev's doing, that this is a scam coin. Maybe the devs sold, maybe a miner like me could have sold, but it had two big pumps. They didn't come crashing down. The coin rested well around 2500 3000 k for a while. Then at 1200 1300 for a while. And then it crashed. Everyone knew this wasn't a coin that would revolutionize the world. It was just another coin to make money. You accuse signatum of being shill because the whitepaper says it's revolution etc, but dude, %99 of all coins say the same thing, most have more premined, yet you are nowhere to be found, exposing their scams?

I don't see how these guys setting up accounts and trying to promote their own coin makes them scammers. If I knew enough to build a coin, I would try to create hype. But come on man, it already crashed. I mean it crashed from 4k to friggin 500s. Even if this were a pump and dump, it's already dumped. Why make so much noise after all this. You must either be butthurt by the devs somehow or be crowetic, to take so much time urging people to stay away from this. I mined all my coins and bought some at 200 and 300 sats when it was on coinsmarkets exchange. I never sold a single singnatum even when it was at top. I still wouldn't sell at 4k, because I think the real value of this coin is closer to 1$ and it will reach that one day. If it never reaches, I'm okay with it since It was cheap for me to acquire.

edit: the devs are still around btw. If they were pump and dumpers, why wouldn' they dump at the two first pumps and then leave it be? Or maybe they are preparing for a third pump? you would say?


I was closely watching the thread and posts from crypto until he started raging on them for using common frameworks; saying that made them copy pasta...  Maybe he is not a developer?  Doesn't know?  Suggesting that every library, function and module should be built from source?  Absurd, especially for anything web related (which was main "proof" of copy pasta).  Suppose he just got over-zealous and went over-board / exaggerated.

Eh; for me; I don't trust either side.  Small chance that I will be happily surprised that way.

Any way of collecting 24h mined stats from easily from site? 

Simple bash script; but it can only scrape total; suppose i could load it up in a time series database and just run at 24hr intervals with delta vs "previous run".  Typically pipe everything into telegraf/chrono.  But the results are skewed based on payout.

Really want the "Total Earned      0.0000001 BTC" value scraped somehow (at a 24 hours crontab or loop)?  Any good way of scraping? 

#!/bin/sh

#vars
#url=http://zpool.ca/?address=38#####################
url=http://zpool.ca/site/tx?address=38######################
btc_rate=`curl -sS "https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=1"`

#subs
function fun_zpool {
  zpool=$(wget -qO- $url |
    hxnormalize -x |
    #hxselect "Total" |
    lynx -stdin -dump -nolist |
    grep -Po 'Total \K(.*)$')

  #get usd value
  usd_value=`echo "scale=2; $zpool / $btc_rate" | bc`

  #output
  #echo BTC $zpool | column -t
  #echo USD $usd_value | column -t
}

#main
fun_zpool
printf $usd_value

Quick question... setting this up on one of my 3x GTX-1080 machines & everything fails on the "Palgin" and "Nanashi" versions. Is this a known issue ?
I had the same problem with my msi gtx 1080 so i disabled both miners and use the other ones

Yea; same issue; made a fork on github under jminer with changes to get nicehash and base working again; until nemo does a update at least.  His code is far superior to my crude hacking.  Also the nanashi would re-download every single time it used; mistmatch somewhere.  Noticed the failed ones are dropping a -d on end of command line; some type of feature that is not yet implemented. 

https://github.com/zerobane/jminer-NemosMiner

Dropped in latest ccminer; although it looks like alexis still beats its on my 1080TI rig for most hashes.

Also added in a USD column; as my simple brain doesn't work well in BTC.  Will poke at making it dynamic and grabbing values from here:
https://blockchain.info/api/exchange_rates_api

Would be simple enough to allow any currency via var; once i figure out windows pshell scripting a bit more; traditionally a linux DEV.

Nemo; let me know if you want another collaborator on your base project, work as a DEV in RL, typically work with PR model (felt naughty committing to master on fork).
