Topic: [ANN][Main] Bitcore- BTX - Datacarriersize up to 220 bytes - page 71. (Read 730281 times)

As one of the main developers for FPGA's, I can say that no current FPGA's have yet been programmed with Timetravel10, and the sudden drastic increase in net hash is caused by Baikal G28's.  The Baikal X10 was unable to change the order of hash algorithms but their updated Baikal-X did have that capacity, and the G28 is just two overclocked Baikal-X.

The appearance of Baikal ASIC's on the bitcore network would be okay if this algorithm was publicly available for owners of Baikal-X or Baikal G28, but it is being held privately by Baikal mining.  In my opinion at this point it would be trivial for them to take 51% of the hash power.

I have been a huge fan of Bitcore since 2017, and mined it extensively with my GPU's.

My suggestion is that coin devs switch algorithms, I know hard forks are a huge pain, but the coin safety is in jeopardy.

In terms of which algorithm would be the best to switch to, I have a lot of input on that topic just as I have given many suggestions to the microbitcoin team; the algorithm of choice depends on what type of hardware you want on your network.  The problem with GPU friendly algorithms is that GPU mining is so unprofitable that most GPU mining is now done in big farms with low electrical costs.  Generally I recommend algorithms that support GPU's and FPGA's at similar ROI, and in some cases you can even (almost) equalize ROI on GPU/FPGA/ASIC like with the pure Gost algorithm.

http://btx.elitehash.net help spread the hashrate on the network - it's a really small pool, but actually it's the best paying one. 100% PPS, no variance, no luck, no fee. Even being the only miner works perfectly.

I imagine the eyes of the devs pop-up, they spit their coffee, big investors, pullin their hair,
all the miners momentarilly sell and switch to another algo and I just curse and forget the $10
i invested in BTX. Sad, but predictable. No algo is ASIC resistant, it just takes more time and effort to make it.

Nope, this isn't FPGA. this is Baikal ASICs. Please read my post above. This is confirmed at least by MBC coin developers

This is Baikal X10/G28 ASICs arrived at Bitcore network
Same shit has happened with Microbitcoin MBC network. diamind-groestl algo.
Officially Baikal X,G28 ASICs don't support dmd-gr algo, but difference between groestl and diamond-groestl is only in markle root. Baikal devs have modified miner software to change markle root calculations on their ASICs and achieved ability to mine diamond-groestl algorithm at 28GH/s on Baikal g28.

They are used by baikal developers to mine privately with modified software to support at least dmd-gr and bitcore algorithms, with available SDK kernels they can modify markle root calculations and chain available SHA3 algos in any way they want.
Baikal ASIC chips are natively support all SHA3 hash algos, which are contains in bitcore hashing algorithm. and they can combine them in any way with modified/private software (sdk, source code), available only to Baikal developer/manufacturer team

• blake
• bmw
• groestl
• skein
• jh
• keccak
• luffa
• cubehash
• shavite
• simd
• echo

And now Baikal developers have managed to chain them and found ability to mine on bitcore network

I also found it out before by talking to coinomi's telegram. That's all you have to do for the latest address update. Uninstall and re-install coinomi and after that the format address will be updated. You'll get the address that starts with '2'.

Theres no 51% attack. Please stop with the drama.

Its just FPGA miners testing their rigs.

They are only testing it. Its a $6000 device, doing $2 daily. Not worth using at timetravel10. Xevan algo is at $20/day...

They will move to another algo soon.. (i hope)

yikes. here's an article from about 5 months ago about how 51 % attacks are becoming more numerous. it points out that monacoin, bitcoin gold, zencash, verge, and litecoin cash have all been hit by them.

https://www.coindesk.com/blockchains-feared-51-attack-now-becoming-regular

here's a list of theoretical costs of 51 percent attacks. (we are not on the list, but that's probably just because the maintainers of this open-source site haven't been tracking BTX) :

i'll raise a red flag about this on the reddit group. some of those people have direct access to the developers.

edit: just raised it.  here's the link : https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcore_btx/comments/a1a4on/are_we_under_a_51_attack/

Yes, a 51% attack is possible .... A small bsod group has over 90% of network performance

What nonsense are you talking about? What are billions in bounty? Probably you wrote to the wrong thread. No billions were promised here.

That’s my worry too especially it’s been over a week and nobody seems to know anything.

last time i saw a few exchanges stopped translations together for a coin for more than a couple days it was the time that coin has been the victim of double spend attack.
this wallet maintenance It may be for 51% attack?
anyone have any info?

wtf is this?

I always update coinomi as soon as the updates are released, so i should be ok.

Thank you.

Coinomi updated months ago to the new address format, just make sure your phone software is also updated. 

I had my btx in coinomi wallet at the time of the last address update... Am i ok with sending and receiving btx now, or should i do something to recover my btx?

Thanks

Thank you for your reminder, but what I want to ask is what is the truth? In the end what happened?
1: I am just a simple investor, optimistic about coin holding.
2: I am not a detective, nor do I want to use analysis software to analyze the data of the transaction, because the analysis of false data is meaningless.
3: It is very important that a coin is deposited and transferred out on an exchange. This is a price balancing mechanism. The price of isolation is meaningless, even if the price is higher.
4: BCH is BCH, not BTX. If the fork of BCH affects BTX coins, then the existence of BTX has no meaning.

 bsod has around 70% of the Pools Hashrate.   I can not get a picture, I'm sorry

there is no bounty program, there won't be any programs or bonuses, there aren't tens of billions of anything available. what on earth are you guys even talking about.

  what did I read
