    Dark secrets of the Grasberg DAA

    Confirmed: Amaury Séchet rage quit the dev meeting

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 02:33 PM PDT

    IF...If ABC were willing to compromise with the rest of the community, this is what it would look like.

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:43 PM PDT

    It's simple. Just keep the current DAA for 6 more months while the technicals are debated. Most of us don't think a controversey over the DAA is worth a split, and there's no harm waiting, so let's just all agree not to make any DAA change because this it's certainly reasonable to say we need more time to discuss this.

    But, with ABC's statement that "they are going forward" , there is really no reason to assume they are interested in a compromise, as their actions aren't reflecting that, nor are their words.

    Given all that, would it be unreasonable to conclude then, that ABC actively wants a chain split and is creating that situation now by refusing to delay Grasburg?

    Mike Hearn: “If the Bitcoin community doesn't establish systems for containing this conflict it will arise again over some issue that appears superficially different to the block size debate, but underneath looks much the same.”

    The Simple (Genius) Idea Behind ASERT

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 02:51 PM PDT

    The biggest thing I’ve learned from the Bitcoin War, which we lost to an angry mob and resulted in Bitcoin becoming useless, is that speaking truth is not enough. You have to take action and change things yourself instead of waiting for others to do so. A mistake I won’t repeat.

    ABC is run by all exchanges and most miners. This is unlikely to change

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:15 PM PDT

    We saw from the BTC/BCH and BCH/BSV split that the incumbent keeps the ticker symbol and majority hashrate and infrastructure.

    ​

    "Gettting rid" of ABC like what everyone is trying to do right now will cause a split and ABC will keep the above.

    Most likely every decision made by the ABC team was thoroughly vetted by the miners that pay them. None of this is random. They will not abandon ABC. Also I don't hear anything from the Asian community. Maybe someone has communications?

    So what is actually being accomplished here? a minority fork without ABC? Again, miners will continue with the incumbent. Exchanges, crypto wallets and most infrastructure will remain under the BCH ticker that is associated with ABC.

    What is the plan to change that? is that even possible?

    "We are working hard to release version 0.4.0 this week, which will include the new difficulty adjustment algorithm to be implemented on November 15, 2020: aserti3-2d."

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 10:28 AM PDT

    Jtoomim's aserti3-2d Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm is the way to go, not Bitcoin ABC's Grasberg.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 12:11 AM PDT

    For what it is worth, I am voicing my support for Jtoomim's DAA and recommend against go along with Bitcoin ABC's power grab. Been with this community since the split, and crypto in general pre-Ethereum. We can do better than Bitcoin ABC and the way they have handled this.

    Can someone explain BU (and other implementation's) "Automatic Chain Pruning" feature? If a node prunes automatically, how do new nodes get bootstrapped?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 11:20 PM PDT

    Are operators who configure BU nodes to automatically prune hoping that someone else will keep the full blockchain to bootstrap new nodes?

    Who is supporting Bitcoin ABCs DAA plan?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 04:26 PM PDT

    I'm just curious to hear from the folks that support Bitcoin ABCs proposed DAA plan.

    I'm curious to hear your viewpoints, but a 'I do' would be just fine too.

    I really think that this Grasberg developer guy should really listen to these arguments from this deadalnix guy, whoever he is.

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 05:46 AM PDT

    However, on a system such as Bitcoin Cash, there are already many existing users. Bitcoin Cash has a script system that has time based features, such as locking coins for a certain amount of time before they are spendable.

    These features are essential for many smart contract systems, notably payment channels or recurring payment solutions such as Mecenas. These contracts do not have a source of time, and therefore use the blockchain itself as a clock. Changing the block time would therefore effectively change the speed at which time passes for all these contracts, breaking the system they are built upon.

    To add to the challenge, Bitcoin Cash supports P2SH, which means we are not aware of all the scripts that are associated with existing coins. It is not possible to parse the blockchain and devise a system that would work for existing contracts, so we are forced to devise a system that will work for all contracts that could have been written. It is not certain that this can be achieved at all without serious downsides, but what is certain is that nobody has the time or resources required to make an honest attempt.

    Without a solution to this problem, we do not have a very concrete proposal to change the block time we can discuss.

    "Just have to say that people are really sleeping on #BitcoinCash. It solves so many problems that Bitcoin has failed to solve. It's price only needs to get to like 1K, and miners will start mining it more than Bitcoin."

    Read.cash should enable 0-conf BCH deposits for users of the site. (Change my mind)

    Bitcoin mining: popular software for managing the processes

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 01:56 AM PDT

    The Bitcoin exchange rate faced a significant drop not a long time ago, so a lot of miners think that mining this coin is not as profitable as before. However, Bitcoin is stabilizing, so now is the time to start mining it again. And, definitely, it is better to do this with reliable and efficient software.

    There are a lot of operating systems for managing Bitcoin mining, so making a final choice can be a rather complicated task. This guide is here to help you — it describes features, advantages and disadvantages of the most popular software.

    Hive OS: an all-in-one solution

    Hive OS is a highly secure and stable mining platform based on the Linux distribution of Ubuntu. Besides, you will have no difficulties with its installation, setup and use. However, if you have any questions, you can always get in touch with the support team. The support is provided 24/7, so you will get help very quickly. There is also an extensive knowledge base that you can use.

    Hive OS significantly simplifies even large farms' management. A lot of things can be automated. For instance, automatic control of the fans, execution of commands according to the schedule, etc. Apart from this, switching between pools, wallets or coins takes only a second. The list of miners is updated regularly, just like the list of features — the Hive OS team is constantly working on the system considering the needs of the community. With Hive OS it is also possible to control the workers remotely.

    Hive OS allows mining Bitcoin on ASICs and GPU rigs, offers its own pool and custom firmware for ASICs. It is an all-in-one solution that you can use in order to make the management process simpler and increase your profits.

    СGMiner: suitable for experienced owners of AMD cards

    CGMiner is an open-source miner focused specifically on mining Bitcoin (although some other coins can also be mined here). It supports GPU, ASIC and CPU mining, and is available for the following platforms: Windows, Linux and OS X. While using all the traditional features (for instance, overclocking) you won't have to pay a dev fee.

    However, this miner is not that suitable for inexperienced users — you at least need to have some knowledge of GitHub. Another thing to keep in mind is that CGMiner doesn't work well with Nvidia cards.

    Cudo Miner: a nice option for beginners

    Cudo Miner is a simple to use crypto mining platform. Remote management, monitoring and overclocking — these and other standard features are available. Cudo Miner also offers automated mining and auto coin switching. Besides, if necessary, you can create custom templates in order to increase performance of your devices.

    On the other side, Cudo Miner doesn't support ASICs. One more unpleasant thing is that the fees are based on the amount of cryptocurrency mined in the last 30 days, and they are pretty high. For example, for less than 0.005 BTC, the fee is 6.5%.

    SimpleMining: the choice of GPU owners

    SimpleMining is a mining OS platform supporting all modern Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Using it, you can take bulk actions on multiple devices. Standard features like overclocking and undervolting are available as well. Besides, there are a lot of miner programmes to choose from, but you can still add a custom miner if necessary. But please keep in mind that it is impossible to mix AMD and Nvidia in one rig.

    Hashr8: for users who know everything about mining

    Hashr8 is an operating system suitable both for ASICs and GPU rigs. The system also supports many pools and miners. You can monitor devices not only in the web interface, but also via the mobile application. Support is provided around the clock. Besides, Hashr8 can be used for free — this option is available to miners using up to 3 devices inclusive. At the same time, there are no other restrictions — free users can use all the functions of the system.

    However, despite the above-mentioned benefits, Hashr8 also has some disadvantages. Firstly, you can contact the support team only using the form on the website or by email, so there is no chance for getting help instantly. The website also has no FAQ, so if you run into a problem, you are likely to have to solve it yourself. Secondly, Hashr8 is a rather unstable system, which can affect your income.

    Awesome Miner: suitable for centralized mining management

    Awesome Miner allows managing and monitoring the mining operations, and supports ASICs and GPU rigs (CPU mining is possible too). Using it, you can perform operations both on individual miners and the groups, and build templates for easier configuration. Note that Awesome Miner can be used for free, but on certain conditions: you can have up to 2 miners, while the list of available features is rather limited.

    Awesome Miner runs only on Windows, but you can still connect it to mining software running on Linux. Apart from this, it can be difficult for a new user to understand how this solution works, as its interface is not that convenient and intuitive.

    What Software to Choose?

    Obviously, the final decision completely depends on your needs, but we recommend choosing a universal system that supports GPU rigs and ASICs. By doing this, you will have freedom of action. A similar recommendation can be applied to GPU rigs — if you prefer them, choose a system that works both with Nvidia and AMD cards.

    Make your choice wisely, and have profitable Bitcoin mining!
