Topic: Antbleed: A remote shutdown backdoor in antminers - page 2. (Read 8076 times)

well, that's good to hear. if i recall the charges were really really crappy.

Just worked that out a minute ago lol thanks.

Yes. IIRC he was released a few months ago.

It depends on the software that you are running. Different software will support different services. Additionally if you have pruning enabled you will be disabling NODE_NETWORK for your node. If you run Bitcoin Core 0.13.1+, your node will be xd. Earlier versions should be x5 and even older ones will be x1.

Trust no one, but yourself.

Do your own research and read the technical whitepapers.

Ask yourself what is Bitcoin suppose to be. Payment service or gold 2.0?

Look at the fees and ask yourself why it is so high.

Understand basic economics, supply and demand; scarcity would do for now.

Ask yourself what agenda does the developers/miners have.

The truth will come to you.

Thanks, so how does all this work?

I can see the xd detail looking at the wallet peers. Does it need to be activated or is it automatic?

Is this the same C Shrem that was find guilty and went to prison?

Pointing fingers, blaming blockstreamers for implementing backdoor trojan horse segwit, it was all the real distraction from all the real fucked up things happening right under our noses and guess who managed to constantly divert the attentions away from the real menace?
I'm really disappointed in you franky1 I thought you were different but now I see that you were the one distracting everyone with your finger pointing blaming gmaxwell and showing colorful graphs and charts.
I mean this is just too obvious and I'm the idiot to actually counting on your words for a while but now even me with a pea sized brain can see what is going on.

We should strip you naked and shame you all the way to the court, at least share some of that fat bonus for posting and be an absolute enemy of Core with us I could easily be very convincing with only $5 bucks per effective post .

Now I don't know who can I trust anymore, people literally caught them bitmainers while raping the community and yet you come here and say no it wasn't them.
By my calculations I have an estimation that antpool alone is earning averagely $450K upto $600K every 24 hours of every 7 days of every week.
Now take the average of $500K daily * 30 of one month = $15,000,000 dollars and 20% of $15M is = $3,000,000 dollars and according to you the ROI for the manufacturers is instant or one month, so they even ROIed 3 times over already before releasing the S9s to the public.

And now people should know that they have made at least $20M in last 6 months out of the thin air which was coming from within another thin air mining and again mining with asicboost double thin airs.

Now I understand where the funds for spam transactions/ forum dos attacks come from, no people unrelated to crypto specifically bitcoin aren't crazy to dos the forum or spam attack the network and waste their hard earned money.

Who could've thought about all of this right?

I didn't even count the double earnings of selling miners to the public and didn't account for other pools owned by antpool and other coins, hell I'm now certain that they have earned double the amount on LTC mining .

Those refer to the services that a node supports.

x1 is NODE_NETWORK, i.e. a full node
x5 is NODE_NETWORK and NODE_BLOOM
x9 is NODE_NETWORK and NODE_WITNESS
xd (aka x13) is NODE_NETWORK, NODE_BLOOM, and NODE_WITNESS

Yeah the last thing Bitcoin needs is a company with Microsoft like cares for your concerns. Bitmain is already getting flack from the litecoin community as they were trying to block segwit so they could continue to block it for Bitcoin without people asking why the allowed litecoin. They don't care what the community wants, they don't care what their buyers even want as long as they keep buying. The issue is people will keep buying when it's the best chance at an roi.

Well, the claim is being made by someone who was very close to Roger Ver, not some anonymous troll, so there could be some truth to it. Certainly Roger Ver is spending a lot of money on BU, how much is not known.

So an unsubstantiated rumor. Got it.

Now that Bitcoin Jesus has been recast as Bitcoin Judas, with a huge contingent prepared to cast him through the gates of hell, should we not be suspicious of unsubstantiated rumors?

I see you've edited, so I shall also:


No. The vast majority of BU development is pro bono. Roger made a significant donation to the BU Foundation, but most of that cash is sitting dormant.

In an interview, Charlie Shrem made the claim that Roger Ver is spending $500,000/mo to "keep BU propped up". No more details than that were given. Charlie Shrem was the owner of BitInstant, which Roger Ver was a large investor of. Roger Ver denies the claim.

However it is known that Roger Ver is funding >90% of BU development. It's likely he also has other expenses too. How much all these expenses total up to is difficult to figure out.

You seem to be making a claim that some party is expending "500k a month to keep BU propped up". Care to substantiate this? Is this 500K USDollars? Who is the party making this expenditure? In what way is this expenditure 'keeping BU propped up'? How do you know this to be the case?

It helps prevent against partitioning. The IP's given out by the DNS seeds are entirely random, while the IP's discovered by other methods are not so random.

Prior to the DNS seeds existing, Bitcoin used to join an IRC server and get other node IP's from that. Satoshi seemingly stole this code from gnutella, a filesharing protocol. The IRC server admin thought Bitcoin was a filesharing program or a botnet, and banned it from the server. Bitcoin used another IRC server for a while, until DNS seeds were implemented. Clearly the DNS seeds are a much better way than using a centralized chat server. Because it uses DNS, even if the seeds go offline, most nodes can still bootstrap for a period of time until DNS servers clear their caches.

I'm not sure what x1, x5,x9 and xd is.

So is the vSeeds above necessary? What is x1, x5,x9 and xd anyway?

You know I really think that people being shills is extremely blown out of proportion but when there is so much money being spent to prop up BU and how ridiculous these post are getting I'm starting to definitely believe shilling is happening.

I mean come the fuck on, and then your only defense is to shout racism? Just ignore the thread and move on, by that point your literally acting like it's your job to try and defend (with the most pathetic strategy) your position and argue when you have no real points to make.

I hope it's delusion and not shilling, but 500k a month to keep BU propped up, it would be silly to think some aren't being paid to push for it on here.

look at what vrsions 0.13+ are doing when "first set up"
hint gmaxwells buzzword: upstream tier
hint luke Jrs buzzword: bridge node

wow just wow, you just went full retard franky1.

It's one method used by Bitcoin to find out the IP of other nodes. There is a risk that the DNS seeds could co-operate together and attempt sybil you off the network by only giving you IP's controlled by them, but it is only one method used and it's only used during the initial set up of a node. The IP's are also sent over DNS, which gets cached by various DNS servers, making it nearly impossible to do that. After your node gets an initial list of node IPs your node keeps a DB of IP's and nodes share IP's between each other. The risk of an attack this way is absolutely tiny that its not even worth mentioning. As long as your node discovers the IP of one honest node, you are safe.

Looked.

Now what the purpose of the above?
