is anyone using the Dollemizer firmware?
LOL I wouldn't trust anyone to provide a new firmware for any miner that says you'll make more.
You're not gonna make more - just they're gonna get money from you via fees or hacks in the miner.

Of course they also don't provide source code ... so you don't see the hacks that steal from you Smiley
... and they of course are breaking the license terms for not providing the source code.

If you do use it - mine somewhere else with it - I don't want to be dealing with people complaining about lost shares and problems here due to hacked miners
... or the pool losing blocks due to the hacks.

but if you have more equal miners, and you flash some of them, it should be fairly easy to compare and see if that would be true?
Also, with the improved mining algo, it should benefit a higher hasrate...
In other words: if a 13.5Th miner would go to 16-17Th and use less power, why would i care they take one or 2 percent of my mining hashrate? (all things being equal..)
Coz those figures are obviously fraudulent.
You really think Bitmain wouldn't advertise and sell their miners saying they do 16-17THs if they could do that?

... and again - regarding blocks:
So they've tested and proven that their modified code consistently finds real blocks on the Bitcoin network?

kano, a technical question:

is it possible - for a pool owner who act's like a "proxy" - to "cut off" some hashrate for their own?

For example, if I put 500 th/s of hashpower to slush, they could easyly remove 1-2 % of my hashrate to use for their own, because I cannot really monitor this 1:1 all the time 24/7 from the antminer software.

But is this technically possible since we have some "work" to do like "shares"?
Well, to be blunt, the pool owner's code could do whatever they like.

If the proxy is coded to allow multiple connections with ratios of work then they could easily do that by providing a small % of work with a different 'destination'

One way you can verify things is to check that the miners submitted accepted share diff matches the pool's rewarded reported share diff.
But even then a coder could report rejects that aren't actually rejects and hide the redirected work that way.

From the point of view of who is actually being rewarded for the work, you can see the username/workername in each share you submit if you monitor the stratum shares being submitted on the network.
I guess you could also check the work you are receiving stays the same ... though that well known stratum hack used on not-nicehash called extranonce completely overrides that and allows them to switch your work to do literally anything at any time without even logging that rather major security breach design.

Bottom line is that no you can't easily tell and modifying code to report things wont guarantee anything either.
If your miner includes extranonce then you are completely screwed with no chance of knowing what's going on.

Thank you.

I was talking with a guy who runs a pool (not bitcoin) on his own, they do "cut off" about 3-4% of the hashing power for their own, just confirms what you say.

I wouldn't wonder if other pools are doing the same, noone would notice of 3-4% less hashpower, but 3-4% hashpower of 4,4 eh/s are alot.. :/

ok. Is the KDB reboot the cause of the app saying "a block found"?
I was all happy this morining when i woke up and another block was found, but it seemed to be a false hurah...  Cheesy
I'm pretty sure one of the apps does that every time I restart KDB.
I guess the problem is they don't remember the last block properly, coz when KDB is restarting there's lotsa zeros and '?'s for a short while.

There will be a KDB restart in about 40 minutes - when the next shift 'xenovia' summarisation completes.
This should be around 02:30 UTC
The web site will show lotsa zeros and '?' for about 10-15 minutes while the restart/reload runs.

No Mining should be affected - (as long it all goes OK Smiley )

This is an update for KDB to combine all the versions of changes I've had on various computers/git branches to get it all in line going forward.
Various small changes, bug fixes, asicboost and web changes have occurred while working on the payout changes, but I needed to get them all in line in my main git to simplify moving forward with more changes.
This does include the incomplete payout changes but they're not active, and the old block payout (like I've just done today) is unmodified and still part of the code.

Mine on! Smiley

Thanks 'blockman' SideWinder !  Cheesy
Ditto! Gotta love 'good morning' blocks.

You can use https://www.[Suspicious link removed]/ to import your wallet and then send it to another wallet.... for detailed steps check https://steemit.com/exodus/@haxmat/how-to-bypass-exodus-wallet-s-high-fees

If you want a desktop wallet such as Exodus try Jaxx.
Don't anybody go doing anything risky now and lose your BTC... Wink

is bitcoincore.org same as bitcoin.org?
No, the first one is the Bitmain altcoin.
The 2nd one is corecoin.

but the bitcoin core can be downloaded from both and github?
Oh wait - sorry I got that wrong Tongue
You are correct they are the same thing - I saw bitcoincore and thought bitcoincash - almost as bad as each other Tongue


got new hardware and want to dedicated to install bitcoin core wallet, just wanted to verify the proper download source.
