IPBC #134

Closed rplant8 closed 6 years ago

rplant8 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for v7, there is one more popular coin IPBC with slightly modified cyptonight-lite-v7. Diff from xmr-stak https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/pull/1489/files

I'm not going to chase all the new cryptonight variants. I did Monero because it's a big coin and several other coins also use the same variant. Most other variants are for a single coin.

I will either do all of them at once or none at all and only if it requires minimal effort on my part.

What I need for all all variants is:

  1. Specifications. Is it a distinct algo or a variant signalled in the data blob (as is cryptonightV7).
  2. Sample code or diff compatible with cpuminer.
  3. What coins use it and where to test.

These are the variants I am aware of, there nay be others:

cryptonight: original Monero cryptonightV7: new Monero cryptonight-heavy: ? cryptonight-light; original Aeon cryptonight-lightV7: ? cryptonight-light-ipbc: IPBC

@joesixpack, very interesting read about the weakness in V7 but not enough detail about the heavy implementation.
