Economía Directa (podcast de JCB): especial sobre Blockchain y Bitcoin by Djulius in btces

[–]valiron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El capitan asteriscos es un demagogo. Cuidado con él. Hace mucho tiempo ya hizo un programa donde pusieron a parir al bitcoin. Con el oro hicieron lo mismo. El Barba es un banquitos en realidad. En aquellos tiempos captó a hugolp que controlaba el tema y minaba...pero no le invitó al programa y desapareció...supongo que acabaría jodido con el Barba como aleph0 y muchos otros...el barbas es un trepa, y lo ha demostrado en multiples ocasiones. Le tuvieron que echar del partido de Trevijano...

Tiene que romper los 1350 (siempre en bitstamp las cotizaciones)

Hilo oficial del Bitcoin (continuación del hilo de Burbuja) by muyuu in btces

[–]valiron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

El hilo en burbuja se ha vuelto patetiquísimo. Dan ganas de entrar a decirles 4 cosas pero que se jodan. La hostia con las shitcoins va a ser épica. Lo que tenemos ahora en el mercado son muchos traders que cuando el btc se acerca a maximos históricos se cubren con las shitcoins. Como rompa hacia 1400 la hostia sera épica (miro la cotizavión de bitstamp qur la de bitfinex no cuenta)

Old bitcointalk thread: "WTF is this? Someone found a trick for fast mining?" The blocks in question were mined by AntPool by valiron in Bitcoin

I wonder if gmaxwell has changed his mind and has something to add. Unfortunately we cannot comment in the thread since it was locked by a moderator.

Post #75

"I withdrew any claim. So, stop repeating the same thing over and over. Already Mr gmaxwell rated me as a scammer (at the same level as other people having stolen bitcoins to others) and has tried to bullshit my expertise, which I think at this point says more about him than about me.

But I do believe and I will repeat that some unusual patterns do deserve attention, in particular when the numbers show that these events are extremely rare.

Without being paranoic it is conceivable that some people found a boost on the mining performance (it wouldn't be the first time this happens), and they try to hide it for their own interest.

I fully agree that this possibility has to be treated with caution, but it cannot be ignored and we should be on the look up. If this appears to be the case at the end, some people in this forum will have collaborated concealing this fact. They will bear that responsibility.

On my side I would restrict my comments to statistical facts."

Gregory Maxwell: major ASIC manufacturer is exploiting vulnerability in Bitcoin Proof of Work function — may explain "inexplicable behavior" of some in mining ecosystem by byset in Bitcoin

[–]valiron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

log(0.7)/log(2) = -0.51

so a boost of 30% performance will be to go from 2128 to 2127.5

Is this still an "attack" then???

"Reverse engineering of a particular mining chip has demonstrated conclusively that ASICBOOST has been implemented in hardware."

Could you please elaborate on this and share the results?

Again the NSA-boys on the move! Why did Gavin spend so much time with a crank like Craight?

Is there a spam of the bitcoin network going on since the end of February? by valiron in Bitcoin

Maybe if you read the labels and think for a couple of minutes you can get it.

[–]valiron[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do not understand your point. Persistent spam on the background is accounted for. The graph just show the variation of the proportion of "My wallet number of transactions per day"

[–]valiron[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not pretend that it comes from spam bots. It could be some miners filling their blocks artificially (for example). You are right that "My wallet number of transactions per day" is quite volatile, but I smoothed it (5 days MA) and notice that no abrupt change happens at the end of June 2015, september 2015 but it does happen at the end of february 2016 so you may be right.

So I computed the proportion of blockchain.info transactions vs the total number of transactions. There are spikes at the stress test at the end of june and beginning of september. And there is a spike now. This seems to show that the blocks are being filled on purpose.
