Hi Guys,

Just a reminder and a suggestion that anyone involved in the btcd community to also register for the btcd official forums: http://forum.bitcoindark.pw/index.php

figroll did a great job putting the site and the forums together and this will provide a nice platform for further development of btcd.

Hey crackfoo, am I correct in thinking that you are the proprietor of btcd.xpool.ca.

If you are can you please help as I am seemingly not getting paid out.
No big rush but I would like some assistance, thank you.

PM me the workername you have set in your miner's config.

Hi crackfoo
I've not been paid out either and my unconfirmed are taking longer than normal to confirm. any chance you could check it for me.

I'm in the same situation, longer confirms and haven't been paid yet, I know crackfoo from back in the Crypto days, he's an honest man don't you worry Wink





I suspected this was the case but why are the unconfirmed delayed?



Not sure what you mean. unconfirmed means, there are blocks that you mined that haven't confirmed yet. Simple as that. I can't control that.

dollux was sorted out. The started mining shortly before or after Friday's shift ended and thus there has been no shift finished yet.

Follow me on twitter folks. I've posted that there that the weekend shift was pushed to tuesday as I tried to enjoy the canadian thanks giving weekend.

I want to do some testing tomorrow with more than half a dozen servers
any chance of getting at least a dozen running?

Hi, what kind of hardware specs do you need for privacyserver testing, i think i could provide some if its not too high requirement, i have sufficient IPv4 but lack of hardware resources.
I think 2GB RAM is all that is needed

is 1GB enough? I could fire up probably 4 nodes with different distro/version and public IPs with 4 vCPU and 1GB RAM, or 2 nodes if u want 2GB right now. It doesnt count much i know, just willing to help if u need it  Smiley
every server helps
i doubt 1gb will be enough

Hello everyone Smiley
I have started a SuperNET API documentation thread here: https://forum.thesupernet.org/index.php?board=41.0
I have begun populating it, though am still wrestling a little with the installation and update process myself. If anyone gets an automated process up and running - Linux or Windows - that would be fantastic and would no doubt enable many more people to do some testing and experimenting with it. Remember: James has offered a 1,000 BTCD bounty if you can find a way to break it...
I will be taking a little break from this for a while to get my head around DHT routing and N-dimensional space equidistant addresses and write up James' new plan to send messages to people without even knowing their IP address. 'Imagine being able to send email to someone without knowing their email address and without spamming everyone. This is on that level of crazy.'
Assuming I survive this, I'll get back to the API documentation afterwards. In the meantime, please feel free to add material to the documentation threads above. When I get back from my trip to N-space I'll incorporate any new information into the OPs.

pushed a new version
I finally got onion routing of DHT calls working
pretty crazy stuff, but it seems to work and I am sending stuff to addresses that nobody actually has and during the DHT routing, the node that it was meant for decrypts it on the fly

and the DHT call is started by randomly selected node, L layers of the onion away from the actual originator.

still have some bugs, but I fixed a LOT of small things and I think now the onion routing will work much better and it is enable for all calls other than pong.

ping is unencrypted and no onion layers of course
pong is encrypted with a direct transmission
all other API are encrypted and adds a random number of onion layers up to Lfactor in your SuperNET.conf file

just pushed a new version with the deaddrop coded (but not tested yet) and a new SuperNET.conf field "debug"
if you like all the printouts just set "debug":1 or 2

If a packet falls into a dead drop, did anybody decrypt it?

 Cheesy
I am coding group deaddrops and random packet injection

the deaddrop addresses will be shared by the nodes that are close to it, so just knowing the deaddrop address used (not easy) will not help much. It will also allow all the nodes to be mining these deaddrop addresses!

the one loose end is the node that starts the DHT, it is possible for the traffic pattern to indicate which node started a particular DHT request. At least that is what I would do to try to figure out who is doing what.

The solution is to use the onion routing to randomly pick a node that will inject the DHT request. Since the onion packets will include DHT traffic and non-DHT traffic and they are all the same size, it seems that packet analysis will not be very useful.

Did I miss anything?

James

This is pretty cool Smiley
Today I happened to read this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29567782
in which the head of Europol's Cybercrime Centre says, "There is confusion among the good guys on the internet between anonymity and privacy. I don't think they are the same. I think that you have right to privacy but that doesn't mean that you have the right to anonymity."

The increasing trend towards greater encryption of online communications is not acceptable, he said.

"Imagine in the physical world if you were not able to open the trunk of a car if you had a suspicion that there were weapons or drugs inside... we would never accept this.

"I think that should also count for the digital world. I hate to talk about backdoors but there has to be a possibility for law enforcement, if they are authorised, to look inside at what you are hiding in your online world."

very good to know
Maybe WhiteCoin is on the right path Smiley
