It is with regret that I have to inform you about ceasing pool operation.

User 599ed1ff71f0b9b3dd13e3b9c88ca6ab informed me about a find of 71 BTC and transferring
the funds to his address https://blockchain.info/de/address/14qAqvqQi4Lci3untZcjiDiiYpAuLDwCeS
he has evidently no intention of giving these funds back.

I can confirm that a block he got earlier today contained the privkey and I have the IP addresses
his client connected with. Of course the user id was blacklisted and I will offer full cooperation
with whoever can claim rightful ownership to the funds.

It seems - after all - that critical voices like becoin were right about this risk and I'm sad to
acknowledge their almost Cassandra-like prophecies.

So the pool will go down today 23:59 UTC for good as I simply cannot take the risk of this happening
ever again.

Rico

Well done. Thought also that was a true story.

Hi. I started LBC tonight and I got: BLF patch found. (DL-size: 139.96MB)

Everything is working fine, but when I try to stop the LBC by pressing 'e', it doesn't stop.
Is there a new command to stop LBC now?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: NVM, as soon as I posted, it started to stop. (What else is new, huh?)

Both things are not new. You will see a new BLF patch about once every 14 days. This is to keep the addresses with funds you're searching against updated.

Also, ending the client means that the end-signal sent during the current round is being catched in the next round - which is then ended.

Say you have a -t 10 (10 minutes), time to real end is between 10 and 20 minutes.

I can most likely release it later today / tomorrow. I have just tested mine over the last 8 hours (you should see the results on icantest user). I used screen to run LBC in one and nvidia-smi in the other.

http://imgur.com/a/r2cdz

this is just one photo I took. but my GPU never went over 64c with fan @ ~35%. I am sure I can get more out of it, If you look at the GDDR5 RAM usage also.

there is also a few tweaks I need to make to the nvidia image. just hostname changing and stuff like that.

Good to hear. Please before any "release" - send the download-links my way for review and shasum of the files - then release (I'm sure).
You certainly understand that without this I could not recommend anyone using these.
(Also I'm egoistically hoping to get a working AMD OpenCL ISO - did you get that working BTW?) Cool

Rico

I have mainly been working with the small os customisation and added nvidia, it shouldn't be difficult to install amd, I can hopefully get this to you soon. I just installed pushbullet as above for those who want to use it when released.

Any suggestions on other packages is also welcome if it helps.

I certainly hope we will get a OpenCL capable Live-Boot for Nvidia (and maybe even AMD) soon. User Icanscript worked on it with very promising results, but I'm not sure how far progress is now.

Updates:

New BLF file (your LBC should auto-update upon startup)
ftp://ftp.cryptoguru.org/LBC/blf/170331-74d3f46939986f415bc2ebf02eeb2d8f.blf.bz2 or the patch
ftp://ftp.cryptoguru.org/LBC/blf/58afd82e681f19b2faf464851aee8541_74d3f46939986f415bc2ebf02eeb2d8f.xd3.bz2

Loaded 14937974 hashes, false positive rate: ~3.523e-24 (1 in ~2.839e+23)

New LBC Appliance:

ftp://ftp.cryptoguru.org/LBC/appliance/

It has a fat 1.6GB size, but it's still the No1 solution for Win-only users.
This version comes on an updated Arch Linux, updated LBC, BLF, installed open-vm-tools and upgraded most CPAN modules.
It's not suitable for GPU clients! -> CPU only

I certainly hope we will get a OpenCL capable Live-Boot for Nvidia (and maybe even AMD) soon. User Icanscript worked on it with very promising results, but I'm not sure how far progress is now.

How about people that care a bit 'bout privacy and do not use facebook, nor want google to have too much data, and hence can not sign in to pushbullet?
Is there a way to use it without either google or facebook, or is there an alternative service?
It seems to be a nice service, but why must we sign in with either of the greatest data miners out there?
Why not a simple email, confirm, done?

Installing Pushbullet cli:

Code:

sudo pip install pushbullet-cli

pb set-key // enter your Pushbullet.com API key, it's free.

pb push "Hello world!" // you should get this on your devices

Then just create a bash file to do what ever you want when called.

Can even push the FOUND.txt file with Pushbullet to all devices, hehe.

Instant profit!

Install pushbullet as above
you get the API-key on pushbullet.com/account
create this hook-find in your collider directory:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

pb push "Your client found a private key $1"

Done.

See how generic the hook-concept is? You could have done this without me since ... since when do we have hooks?

Just install Pushbullet using PIP then you can

Could you elaborate on that?

Code:

# pip pushbullet
ERROR: unknown command "pushbullet"

# pip install pushbullet
Collecting pushbullet
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pushbullet (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pushbullet

Quote

Code:

pb push "You found something!"

all you have to do after installing using pip is set your Pushbullet API key

Code:

pb set-key

.

You can create channels on Pusbullet, so we could have an LBC channel that we can all perch in or not.

Create a bash file:

Code:

 hook-start

with contents

Code:

pb push "You found a collision on LBC!"

post to channel:

Code:

pb push -c "LBC" "Blah found bleh!"

Profit?

Looks easy and instantly doable. Help me out with the PIP, and I make a hook-find howto for pb.

Why not use Pushbullet?
Check it out: https://www.pushbullet.com/

why not use this ?

Where is the command-line client for Linux?

If there is -> I'm sure we can munge it into hook-find.

Looks for me like a user space sync/notify app. For browsers mobile phones etc. Most LBC clients operate headless.
And those who don't: If you have to startup - say - firefox to send some pushbullet message.

Well you can do even this in hook-find (starting up anything, including a browser).

@icanscript:

Could we not introduce an upload option for the found.txt when something is found, like ftp. found-- ?

You'll find that the hook-script mechanism is generic enough to achieve this already.

1) You can embed a mail send in the script

but some ISPs block port 25, so you can

2) embedd a HTTP access to some webserver of yours (so you see a find in your logs)

this works, because port 80 is blocked seldom, but not everyone wants to set up his own webserver, so you can

3) anything, even push some data to an FTP server

but if port 21 is blocked, you can

4) anything else Wink

See https://lbc.cryptoguru.org/man/user#hooks

If someone who can script (hint hint), comes up with other nifty ways of using hooks, I'll be more than happy to document them in the user manual.

best thing for me and I think for the rest except you would be this..

Create an account option on your website ...

where everybody can log in

see his Gkeys , see how many mashines are working for him

See if he found something and what mashine did this and so on.

See everything

Rico,

You mentioned that someone wanted a way to get notifications of found addresses...

Why not use Pushbullet?

I use it for some other stuff I do and I like it a lot.

Check it out: https://www.pushbullet.com/

Thanks,

I never check found.txt .. I hope hook-find woks ... or we lost lots of addresses.

...
I had a look who got the block interval that should have found this key: Id Janussss

I wrote to Janu$$ asking if he was actually Janussss (which I assumed) and wanted him to please confirm he actually had something in his FOUND.txt.

After a while he answered confirming he was Id Janussss, but having no FOUND.txt. That was a shock! Was the generator not working again? (some may remember the episode with the win clients) And while I was struggling with life, Janu$$ wrote a PM titled ____TREFFER IN FOUND.txt____ (HIT IN FOUND.txt) - so he found FOUND.txt Cheesy

...

I confirm this!

To clarify why I wrote 2 messages (first "no Found.txt" second "____TREFFER IN FOUND.txt____") to rico was:
The VMs run on 3 computers. Two of them stopped the LBC client very fast and on the third one it took ages. So I wrote the first message telling rico there was no Found.txt, also expecting that on the third machine was no found either. The second message was written after the third LBC client finally stopped and I found the FOUND.txt.
I am quite sure that I had found it anyway at some stage even without rico´s hint, but that could have been taken quite a while. Wink

For the future I might be helpful, if after writing a key in Found.txt, to all the following "Ask for work....."-lines a "Check Found.txt!!" would be added.

Regards,
Janu$$
