It seems like Flypool controls >50% of zcash hashpower.
But there are also exchanges using Zcash.
How is this possible?
Why doesn't Flypool rob the exchanges?
07:02
Maybe the nash equilibrium is something like a retirement attack.
Since they can only do the attack a few times until the network realizes and stops using their pool.
So they are waiting for a moment when the zcash exchanges have maximum volume.
JM

51% !== guarunteed theft, it's still hard to do and involves some luck
Z
07:11
Zack
24 hour volume for Zcash is about $65 million.
I am guessing a double-spend attacker could get around $30 million before the exchanges all turn off zcash trading.

Compare to a daily profit of $21 thousand for running the mining pool.

So a single attack would be about as profitable as running the mining pool for 1500 days = about 4 years.

It is not hard to do, and does not involve luck.

Zack there are a lot of coins with only 1 mining pool now (aka 99% centralization) and miners don't care.
Z
07:13
Zack
only having 1 pool isn't a risk for miners.
It is a risk for exchanges and traders.
AS
07:13
Aizen Sou
it's a risk when the chain could be reset and miners will lose all their rewards ?
07:14
mostly pool OP doesn't have the incentive to do such attack, since they don't want to kill their milking cow, or they don't want their reputation to be ruined.
07:14
but i have seen some 51% attacks with some small coins at C-cex.com
Z
07:14
Zack
the risk of having only 1 pool is that the pool can undo blocks to undo transactions.
So they can sell Veo on an exchange, get paid in bitcoin, and then undo the veo payment to get their veo back. So they get free bitcoin from the exchange.
JM
07:17
J M
how does it not involve luck? having >50% of the network does not mean you win every block
Z
07:18
Zack
You don't have to win every block to do this attack. you just have to win more blocks than the rest of the network put together.

Competitor blockchains might even be paying OK a reward to do an attack like this.

OK could sell all his Veo before doing the attack. He only ends up stealing Bitcoin, so it doesn't matter if it hurts the value of Amoveo.

statistics isn't that hard Johnny.
AP2 currently has >60% mining power.
if AP2 has mined 15 blocks, then on average the rest of us only mined 10.

The odds that the rest of us mined 15 blocks in the same time period is very small.

no worries. someone figured out how to fix VeoMiner for windows.

Something very suspicious happened. It is a mystery.

For some reason, Pham Huong decided to split up the URL for contacting AmoveoPool2 into like 5 little pieces.
someone went through the .exe file byte by byte to find the pieces and change them to make it work with other pools.

It seems like the hacked version of veominer crashes instead of mining for the developer.
So if you set up a batch script to keep restarting it, then you are able to mine without paying the developer.
So the hacked veominer is 2% better than the original, in this way.

Ok controls amoveopool2. That pool has more than 50% of he hash power. So ok can do double spends.

@tallakt New draft coming soon
M
13:36

Wouldn’t it be beneficial for OK to do double spends
Z
13:37

No.
A double spend means that ok could sell Veo, and then later undo the tx to get his Veo back.
To steal bitcoin.
He could drain all the bitcoin from a btc-veo exchange for example.
13:37
But this will probably be fixed soon.

it just means you reverse whatever transaction you did

Yeah that’s what I mean. I wouldn’t call it trivial
Z
13:44
Zack
I would.
You add one line to the block verification code.
If height == H, and block hash == BH, then the block is invalid. This would force your node to mine on a fork that starts right before height H.
M
13:47
Mike
That doesn’t fork?
Z
13:48

Yes it forks.
That is why you need >50% hash power to do this.
So you can win the fork.

Zack, can you make some incentives for miners to move to your pool? And also maybe setup an oracle to bet on AP2's hashrate< 50% or not.

It looks like Pham Huong is not being paid by her mining software.

The 2% that should be going to her seems instead to be destroyed.

This is the biggest proof of burn in amoveo history. It makes Pham Huong a hero for selflessly giving so much of her wealth to support amoveo.

Or maybe there is a language barrier and she doesn't know that she isn't being paid.

It looks like the pubkey to receive rewards for PhanHuong's miner is wrong.
Her pubkey in the miner starts with a "v" instead of a "B".

Amoveo oracles can only report on the state of something that is public knowledge.

Amoveo only stores accounts in the consensus state.

01:57
only my pool had this bug where it was keeping 1/3rd of the money. But with Gonzalo's help I found a fix, so now my pool is paying out the correct amounts, even with the cracked-veominer.

great UIs are not created that easily. they take time and iterations. i have overseen some of these projects in the past - creating UI, they are painstaking and iterative. also easy to create doesnt mean they are done. truth is they are still not done here. for example using the oracle need to be UI based and easy for uptake. just my opinions

yes but check one of the latest polls by Emin on twitter. last time i read 77% identified UI/ UX as the main thing that's WIP in crypto. and he said this exactly that the developers have it the other way around

the current monetary/ incentive structure is great to keep main dev engaged but isn't conducive enough for more devs to start contributing on other aspects. so you will mostly have miners and pool managers.

“So if we are using the dominant assurance contract to build a bridge over a river, and the bridge will make your restaurant worth $10,000 more, then the Nash equilibrium strategy for you is to give $10,000 to the contract.”

the wallet can be a multisig

and it'll be a hard fork but create long term solution

kind of catch 22, you need an contractual incentive to create a contract that is designed to incentivize contractually

In reply to this message
depends on the scope. if you include wallets, websites, interfaces for oracles - you are probably looking at anywhere between 100k and 200K

might be a more if you want your website to have interactive elements etc. scope definitions are important and can pull this up to 400k+

Vitalik doesn't have as much say in eth anymore as compared to the early days. he is however influential - any stand he takes or puts his weight behind has an impact - how much is anyone's guess. I have read that he is therefore quite careful on policy/ governance matters these days. Also Eth did an ICO - so they had funds. their website was one of the best long before any crypto did substantial marketing
04:44
one scenario i see here is someone building amoveo tools privately and monetizing it somehow - maybe with small fees etc. that's need somewhat deep pockets and also significant confidence on ROI/ continuity. After Zack spoke about restarting the chain yesterday - I am not sure if that'd happen in the near future.
04:48
I can myself create a basic website with info etc through html tools available these days and small private funding. but i dont have necessary skills to do anything beyond that. will have to think about that.

You can learn how to change pools here: https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo

We should slowly switch some mining power to other pools. There could be bugs in the other mining pools, so do it slowly and check to make sure you are being paid the right amount.

50 block delay on avp2 would make latest veominer work not even credited yet, so probably not that.

there goes the paranoia train again
19:31
plus hashrate on pools end is always an estimate
Z
19:32
Zack
There is some evidence that this will happen.
19:33
In the previous versions it looked like 1/3rd hash power was going to the broken pubkey.
But it couldn't receive any funds since it was broken.
S
19:39
Sy
hmm but wouldnt the user have noticed the lower hashrate on the pool way earlier?

so it was 33% dev fee? fucking hell

No. He has no idea how much hashpower was going to which of pham's pubkeys.

Well, I have some idea.
Gonzalo ran tests on old versio s and looked at the messages on the wire to see which pubkey was being rewarded how often. 1.4 is untested.
OK
19:44
O K
There is more than one version, for more than one OS, and you have no idea what % of miners use which version.

well hashrate on pool fluctuates a lot so i can't really say about real fee %
S
19:46
Sy
hashrate on pool is mostly garbage
19:46
a bit lucky and it spikes, unlucky and it goes to hell
OK
19:46
O K
We've fixed it since those days
S
19:46
Sy
Zack why do you differentiate between spend and create_account?
19:47
and api:spend seems to check if the account exists and switches to the correct form, spend_tx via post doesnt
Z
19:47
Zack
In reply to this message
Create account consumes consensus state space. So we might want a bigger fee for it in the future.
S
19:48
Sy
okay
19:48
it seems a bit redundant tho to check if the account exists first and then use the correct one if api:spend does that anyway
19:48
or ignores it, not sure
19:48
but api:spend accepted a 0 balance account just fine
Z
19:51
Zack
Changing the consensus mechanism to add a new tx type is very expensive. It would be a hard update.

Changing the Api so that you use a different tx type with a certain command is very cheap.
19:52
For now they both have the same fee, so the user shouldn't have to think about the difference between spend or create account.
19:52
It is automatic
S
19:52
Sy
nope
19:52
spend_tx failed
19:52
i finally figured out why some addresses didnt get paid by my pool xD
19:55
variable_public_get(["account", to],
function(result) {
console.log("result was ");
console.log(result);
if (result == "empty") {
fee = 152050;
variable_public_get(["create_account_tx", amount, fee, from, to],
spend_tokens2);

} else {
fee = 152050;
variable_public_get(["spend_tx", amount, fee, from, to],
spend_tokens2);
}});
}
19:55
you should probably let the node figure out the fee aswell instead of defining it in a javascript...
Z
19:57
Zack
Your mining pool uses javascript to send rewards?
19:58
Trusting the node to set your fee would be less secure.
They could set your fee too high and drain your wallet.
S
19:59
Sy
you should recognize your own js code...
Z
19:59
Zack
It's from the light node sure.
S
19:59
Sy
so a js that can be easily adjusted is more secure than your own erlang code?
20:00
the pool pays via posts ofc, its still the same
20:00
a post spend doesnt work if the account hasnt been created yet
20:00
an api:spend does
Z
20:00
Zack
The erlang code is easy to adjust. The light wallet cannot be adjusted, if you download it securely from github.
20:01
Api:spend is the same thing as a post request spend.

Api module is the post request api.
S
20:01
Sy
no it isnt
20:01
i just paid 3 addresses via api:spend which failed via post spend for days
Z
20:02
Zack
Maybe you wrote the command a little differently?
20:03
There is an external api too. But you cannot use that one to spend
S
20:03
Sy
...
20:03
you know i run a pool right?
Z
20:04
Zack
I wonder where you think the post request api is programmed in erlang, if not in api.erl
S
20:04
Sy
why the heck do you assume that i misstyped a command that is paying out for weeks now?!
20:04
the command is correct
20:04
the call is correct
20:04
its paying every other account that already had balance
20:04
the node returned a 500 on every 0 balance account
20:05
you can ignore that if you want but im telling you, its handled differently
Z
20:05
Zack
The mining pool I wrote is able to pay rewards to empty accounts.
20:05
It uses a post request to do it.
S
20:05
Sy
which one?
Z
20:05
Zack
Amoveopool2 uses a post request to pay rewards to empty accounts
S
20:06
Sy
dude
20:06
just nvm, its one of those days you dont want to understand me, its fine
S
20:07
Sy
i got it worked out, others will too eventually
20:14
you do relealize that bug fixing isnt about "but im doing it differently and its working" right?
spend(ID0, Amount) ->
ID = decode_pubkey(ID0),
K = keys:pubkey(),
if
ID == K -> io:fwrite("you can't spend money to yourself\n");
true ->
B = trees:dict_tree_get(accounts, ID),
if
(B == empty) ->
create_account(ID, Amount);
true ->
Cost = trees:dict_tree_get(governance, spend),
spend(ID, Amount, ?Fee+Cost)
end
end.
spend(ID0, Amount, Fee) ->
ID = decode_pubkey(ID0),
tx_maker0(spend_tx:make_dict(ID, Amount, Fee, keys:pubkey())).
and im right
sad that i have to point you to your own code
if called without fee it does the check, if called with fee it doesnt
20:14
why are there even 2 methods if you dont want the node to calculate the fee to begin with?
Z
20:23
Zack
Amoveo is about 11000 lines of erlang, and around 9000 lines of javascript.
I do not have it memorized.

If you want my help fixing a bug, then just say so. I didn't know until now.
20:23
Although, it isn't possible for me to help with you closed source mining pool
S
20:24
Sy
i told you spend doesnt create an account, it took me 5s to spot the error in that code but you rather argued with me for minutes that your code cant be wrong and it is working with your pool

if that wasnt a bug report i have no idea what is

you reported a bug?

oh, were you using spend/3 instead of spend/2?
S
20:27
Sy
i hope you are just sleep deprived otherwise im really worried about this project
20:27
now you got it...
20:28
the next question is, why is there even spend/3 if its not supposed to be used because spend/2 does the same, just better?
20:28
plus calculates the fee you set in the js earlier which the node just ignores...
Z
20:28
Zack

This sort of negative comment is not so good.
I want us to build a culture for Amoveo that is more positive.

It is important that we discuss problems when they come up, but this feels more like a personal attack than an effort to solve a problem.
S
20:29
Sy
true, you should know that one tho
20:29
you've personally attacked many members of this channel
20:31
but dont worry, im done for today - reread it tomorrow after you've slept and it might make more sense
Z
20:31
Zack
I think spend/3 is there because that was the original format, and their might still be tests that use it.
S
20:31

i clearly reported the bug, you replied, i replied, you forgot everything along the way

btw Zack we use public key, but why not hashes of public key?

In reply to this message
To make a lightning payment you need to know the recipient's pubkey so that you can encrypt a message to them.

In Amoveo's design I optimize assuming that everyone is using the lightning network for everything they do.

You can generate the address from the pubkey, but you can't generate the pubkey from the address.

So it is simpler if the user just keeps track of the pubkey and doesn't have to also record the address.

as I can see some data of the miners focused on their pool http://159.65.120.84:8085

It seems that mine is less than in amoveopool2
4 May 2018
Z
00:02

Why do you think it is less?
00:09
I was able to help tato by PM in Spanish.
Since my pool pays out rewards less frequently, he was concerned that he is making less profit.
Tato is going to use both pools for a couple days as an experiment to see if either is better.
