Facts are more efficient than fud
I am not here to bash or so, I just want to know if the exploit is real or not because i can't follow it anymore. If not then is perfect buying time.

Cheers

Right now it's indeterminable. There have been no specifics given to us, and given the contradictory and nonsensical nature of the breadcrumbs we're leaning towards it not being real until demonstrated otherwise or given technical details we can follow.


Way to show some confidence in your coin! Don't you get it? XMR will always have this dark cloud over it. Just like VRC, just like DRK and just like Cloak.

There is no coming back from this one.

Stealthcoin is the true anon winner these days and I'll be putting my btc there.

Now just admit that in one day and a few hours XMR can implode and all that money would be lost forever. I mean, you do realize that if BCX can steal coins then the exchanges will be forced to shut down trading while leaving anyone with xmr in their wallet out 100%.

I've got my popcorn ready!

More discounted XMR! Thanks, Bob! Keep up the good work!

Sorry guys but I have to do this...

I never said I was leaving, just that in 2 days I would be back.

You can get back without leaving?  Shocked

Wow...

you may have some cool skills.

Some thoughs I have posted at Monero Mining for people who want to mine with AWS for the community consideration.

This is a detailed guide to setup cloud miners (cpu+gpu) on Amazon EC2. I put together this guide for user oda.krell, who was kind enough to give me a very nice tip for it, so thanks should also go to oda.krell.
....

You could also configure it for the script to start automatically at system startup. This way you would only have to launch the instance or instances and you'd be mining.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12973777/how-to-run-a-shell-script-at-startup

And maybe create an AMI with this with the DEV fund address and anyone who would want to just had to launch the instances without having access them to configure stuff. Thus lowering the barrier to entry.

The instructions would be cut in half to get an account and launch your instances.

I'll only be able to do this this evening (and don't even know if people would trust my AMI), so if some trusted member of the community could set it up earlier it would certainly help.

I would also advise to spread the instances over the various regions so that we do not compete with each other for the low prices.
Also if we rely only in spot instances there may be none available if someone (for example an attacker) were to instantiate 1000s of instances for the full price.

There's a whole host of different instances that could be used. Don't look only at g2.2xlarge and c3.8xlarge. If we could spread it also to other instances it could prevent some of the problems above (the AMI would work fine with any of them although with a lower hashrate. And it would be good also for people who can't afford the higher end ones)

And don't forget the free tier (about 8h/s but free).

How can I calculate the estimated time to find a block solo, I'm running 17khs.

Simple formula. Difficulty is hashes to find a block so divide difficulty by your hash rate. That's your expected block time in seconds. About 20 hours in this case.

Hey, it isn't an exact calculation, but you can take a look at this pool list http://minexmr.com/pools.html (thanks for the link, jwinterm) to see when some of the smaller pools last found a block.

By looking at the current network hashrate, it can be calculated. Maybe someone will chime in with the formula. I remember seeing it somewhere in this forum a week or so ago.

My best guesstimate is that you would probably find a block in a day or so, give or take (?) [depends on Lady Luck, eh]

An easy way to estimate time to find a block solo mining is to take the ratio of your hashrate to network hashrate. So if you have 17 kh/s and the network rate is currently 18 Mh/s (such low!), then you will find (approximately) 1 out of every 1000 blocks. Block time is one minute, so 1000 minutes, or about one block every 17 hours. Of course, variance being what it is, you could find one in 3 hours or you might have to mine for several days/weeks before you find one (if you're lucky like me Tongue).

Edit: What smooth said is technically more accurate, but works out to be about the same. Since network hashrate is calculated from difficulty, it's almost two ways of saying the same thing.

Icebreaker - the core team's time notwithstanding, typical devs in this space with the requisite skills are $30 to $50 an hour, which works out to ~$5500 to ~$9000 a month per developer. You can extrapolate out from there.

Daemon activity, is it odd or normal?



Pretty normal, little forks of one or two blocks form all the time and then the network gets back in consensus and your daemon receives a chain with higher cumulative difficulty than the one it had before so it abandons the now orphaned block or two and re-organises with the new ones.

i have 1 GPU, how do i solo mine with it? usually i connect to moneropool.org.

i know it does not mean much but its a solid 315 h/s Smiley

Good question. I have never seen an answer to this. GPU mining is only set up for pools? Perhaps we'll get a better answer.

Meanwhile, put it on a smaller pool, with a backup pool configured.

Also, don't forget to solo mine on your CPUs as well.

Thanks for the support!



Moneropool.org is a small pool.  Moneropool.com is the big one

ETA:  Looks like I'm mistaken, there is no moneropool.org, I thought there was.

I do believe gpu mining has been a pool only thing in the past and I think it still may be.  I know some folks have set up their own pool to mine "solo".
