@felix the whole point of this project is to prevent server-side mining. This is the primary reason why we don't want a linux command line client. Also you built the thing to submit fake hashes and it just seems like you are determined to work against the project. Not only this but you are encouraging others to use it as well. We will keep introducing fixes and suspending accounts of anyone that that runs any kind of command line client. The only clients available are the platform at
https://platform.jsecoin.com and the desktop app at
https://jsecoin.com/downloadsThe main reason i built the miner should be obvious, the current miner sucks in multiple ways, directly and indirectly.
Some are:
- i can't set it to mine at max efficiency: as you know jsecoin doesn't use a real PoW algo, it just uses a fixed diff sha256 hash which is only accounted once per block, sending multiple doesn't help anything, it just wastes cpu cycles trying to imitate something it is not
- it's a gui only app which runs in the browser: i don't want to run my desktop all day just to mine some jse, the electricity cost is way to high for that. Instead i want to use a low power device which might not even have a gui
- lightweight: the mining app comes in at a whopping 270MB downloadsize
- mining on low powered devices results in less jse than it has to be: because low powered device can't do that much hashes with just a little cpu usage the blocktime of 30 seconds might be over before we even found a hash. If e dedicate a full core to finding a single solution (and not multiple) we are good
Furthermore a desktop/pi/whatever running all the time is basically a server, so "server-side" mining doesn't really apply here. What you might refer to is botnet mining or vps mining, where an individual rents or compromises many devices and mines with them. Using a personal device for mining should be fine, regardless of what device it is, imho.
You refer to "fake" hashes, but they aren't fake, they are legitimate sha256 hashes. Just because the server doesn't verify these doesn't make them fake. This was another measure to counter useless wasted cpu cycles.
I'm determined to work against the project? yeah right, lol.
Where did i ever encourage others? I merely saw this thread here and thought i might opensource my miner to share it with the community, this might have been a mistake. It's just sad.
