No, here is an explanation of this part of code: This code is from original bitcoin: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/rpc/mining.cpp. (what it does is iterate on nonce to find a nonce that satisfies…
What is new is that it forces optimized miners to be good a neural net inference. (some reasons to do so are explained here: https://github.com/nf-dj/robocoin, not aware other pows attempting to do this) To do so the…
Validation corresponds to a single inference pass in neural network terms. (which is fast) Mining is much harder and involves millions or more of inferences passes (depending on difficulty). For ex the genesis block was…
Agree that utilizing AI to mine PoW of existing crypto currencies doesn't make any sense. (for ex sha256 used in btc is designed so that it's computationally irreducible and so can't use ai to find a nonce faster than a…
Agree there are already plenty of incentives to produce more efficient and powerful ai hardware. With this project, experimenting to design a pow that "forces" miners to also be capable of the same kind of "useful"…
Yes agree that mining hardware that is optimized for this pow won't replace completely nvidia gpus which are much more versatile etc. Also the pow is kept deliberately very simple (conceptually), just deep rounds of…
"The idea behind POW consensus in Bitcoin and similar systems is that if you expend energy to create a block and that block doesn't end up in the eventual consensus chain (because you were mining off a fork or making a…
sorry, github blocked the account just now. guess they think trying to pump a scam coin or smth like that. (to be clear, this is an experimental repo, coins are not for sale etc) I reuploaded to this different account:…
I've been playing around with a proof-of-work system that uses tensor operations. The idea is to craft a PoW algorithm where mining rigs could also handle AI and machine learning jobs. Basically, this means miners could…
