BingoBoingo: It's
SHA256, so you can point your mega 400 GH/s Buttfury at Altcoin solo instead of mining for some oversized bitcoin pool.
pankkake: no, there was a recent wave of
sha256 altcoins, after usb erupters were totally useless
ThickAsThieves: "
SHA256 Authentication, hardware RNG, and protected key storage on an easy to mount board"
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 the altcoin is
sha256, not pumped and not premined. just like... you know... NO OTHER ALT out there.
ThickAsThieves: <pankkake> a coingen
sha256 would be a good base, at least I can replace the coin name :p <<< but really, if it is useful, surely one of the packages for download is that
http://coingen.io/status.html pankkake: a coingen
sha256 would be a good base, at least I can replace the coin name :p
kakobrekla: <Duffer1> azelphur so your target is
sha256 altcoin miners?
Azelphur: Duffer1: hell no, the
sha256 is mostly for shits and giggles
Duffer1: azelphur so your target is
sha256 altcoin miners?
altkoin: it doesnt matter if a meme
sha256 coin comes out
bloctoc: …if the power goes out, we go back to cave - yes crypto or no crypto that's true. Same argument for breaking
SHA256. As far as crowdsource law it will be nice to see some template corporations that get set up by copy/paste instead of paying a lawyer $10K to copy/paste. For what it's worth, I do think the smart contracts will do that for us.
pankkake: ThickAsThieves: well that's ppcoin, it's
sha256 Venat: lewicki
sha256 breaks? wut?
Vexual: yes i don't know if
sha256 exists in natural life in any form
kakobrekla: no he couldnt have done much to ltc, he has
sha256 pool not scrypt, not compatible
pankkake: as far as I understand, they would be much more expensive than a
sha256 asic, because of the memory requirements
kakobrekla: just change their PoS to
sha256 PoW and merge it
pankkake: (late response) if
sha256 is efficiently cracked, you have more problems than that
jurov:
sha256 is power dense, it just isn't possible to throw 4x more transistors into the same space
fractal: mircea_popescu: if you follow the inevitable logic -- the entity with access to the smallest manufacturing process will control a PoW such as
SHA256. There is 1 entity who always has the smallest fab process -- Intel.. they can do 14nm and put the rest out of business. They won't until the US Government asks them to, or until mining is worth $5B / year or so to make it worth it
ystarnaud: idk but if you really wanna mine, go scrypt imo...
SHA256 is just saturated
Namworld: "We have a base on the moon with 200 square km of floor ready to accept our quantum computers currently in development. Estimated hashing: Instant
SHA256"
davout:
SHA256(URL+password) is the private key
ericmuys_: buying a few machines that do nothing but hash
sha256 don't warrant more than one company. the existing company and new company have one purpose:
sha256. would not touch with 10 foot pole.
Diablo-D3: hmac
sha256 on 80 bytes does 192 rounds
Scrat: Diablo-D3: yeah, significant gains other than that would imply a weakening of
sha256 Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: btw, basically what you're describing is an attack on
SHA256 Diablo-D3: "hi, I cracked
sha256, but Im only using it on bitcoin"
Diablo-D3: mircea_popescu: sat solving is very hard with
sha256 or any decent hash
mircea_popescu: Do U think btc should move away from
sha256 and let "normal" people the chance ?"
mircea_popescu: "Would it be even remotely possible to force the change in
sha256 bitcoin algorith to something else that asic and fpga devices couldnt compute?
Diablo-D3: remember, neither asicminer nor avalon made their
sha256 cores
jurov: meh,
SHA256 circuit certainly exists
jurov: next on list is via nano, with their
sha256 instruction support
Diablo-D3: 130nm 200mm wafers at SMIC using SMIC's IP core library to spam a predesigned
sha256 core
kakobreklaa:
SHA256 of winners IP addresses and reward payount addresses will be published on bitcointalk.org.
