Aug 25 19:31:45 <buZz> DocScrutinizer05: did you get it working?
Aug 25 19:33:14 <DocScrutinizer05> the multibit? yes
Aug 25 19:33:37 <buZz> and the miner?
Aug 25 19:33:50 <DocScrutinizer05> as in [2016-08-24 Wed 20:26:39] <DocScrutinizer05> buZz: thanks, payment arrived in Multibit wallet
Aug 25 19:34:10 <DocScrutinizer05> no, I gave up on that one
Aug 25 19:34:27 <buZz> oh ok
Aug 25 19:34:33 <DocScrutinizer05> I got way more important stuff to accomplish
Aug 25 19:34:44 <buZz> the easier miners just have a raspi/beaglebone inside that takes care of everything
Aug 25 19:35:48 <DocScrutinizer05> and kerio made it sufficiently clear that touching BTC means hours and hours of dealing with boring irrelevant annoyances
Aug 25 19:36:15 <buZz> no clue, i like it :P
Aug 25 19:36:30 <buZz> one mans annoyance is another mans bread, i guess ;)
Aug 25 19:37:04 <DocScrutinizer05> I couldn't use BTC anyway, I'd need to convert them to fiat money, and that's obviously a PITA
Aug 25 19:37:43 <buZz> i guess
Aug 25 19:38:38 <DocScrutinizer05> and everybody unanimously agreed that bitmining is waste of energy
Aug 25 19:39:02 <buZz> for sure, that device you were using was ;)
Aug 25 19:39:18 <buZz> any miner over ~6 months old is practically outdated
Aug 25 19:39:25 <buZz> i told you this earlier didnt i?
Aug 25 19:39:31 <DocScrutinizer05> yes
Aug 25 19:39:40 <buZz> unless you pay very little for power etc,etc
Aug 25 19:40:21 <DocScrutinizer05> so I wasted a 25% aka 2.50 bucks per dongle on customs and taxes, and I got another 40 nice paperweights
Aug 25 19:41:20 <DocScrutinizer05> maybe one day I flash them to make a funny highly sophisticated lightshow with their RGB LEDs
Aug 25 19:41:55 <DocScrutinizer05> or you could reprogram them as john the ripper coprocessors ;-P
Aug 25 19:42:09 <buZz> asics cant be programmed ;)
Aug 25 19:42:17 <DocScrutinizer05> dang, right
Aug 25 19:42:29 <DocScrutinizer05> A3323? whatever
Aug 25 19:42:32 <kerio> what do they even do
Aug 25 19:42:35 <kerio> compute bcrypt?
Aug 25 19:42:44 <buZz> sha256 + chacha + sha256
Aug 25 19:43:08 <kerio> you could checksum the shit out of your data
Aug 25 19:43:17 <buZz> over some array of inputs, one of the inputs is incremented , until a fitting hash is found
Aug 25 19:43:35 <kerio> no i meant the specific hardware DocScrutinizer05 has
Aug 25 19:43:44 <buZz> fitting for the difficulty of the network , meaning a certain number of leading 0's at the beginning
Aug 25 19:43:48 <buZz> kerio: yes, me too
Aug 25 19:43:59 <buZz> i'm telling you what mining is doing ;)
Aug 25 19:44:00 <kerio> ye i know how bitcoin works
Aug 25 19:44:32 <kerio> i wanted to know if the thingies doc has were *that* specific or not
Aug 25 19:44:33 <buZz> k k
