Bitcoin Checksum on Bash

Checksum is often used in Bitcoin when generating public key, address. Checksum is a simple method for error-checking data [1].

In Bitcoin blockchain the checksum is generated by running SHA256 function two times in a row.

Important note: need to use sha256 in binary mode for binary data.

 

Bitcoin checksum on Linux Bash: sha256sum

This is an example used on learnmeabitcoin [1] and this bash analogue gives the same result:

Which HelloWorld Is Faster: Rust, C, C++, Bourne Shell, Python3?

Which program works faster? Does Rust compiler do things extra fast? Here are our simplest programs on Rust, C, C++, Bash, Python3. They were run 100.000 times and timings are measured.

 

Listings

Listing HelloWorld on Rust, main.rs

fn main() {
    println!("Hello, World!");
}

 

Listing HelloWorld on C, main.c

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

 

Error on `git pull`: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Sometimes my Devuan unexpectedly close the session, because of some JavaScripts on websites. After re-login I cannot connect to remote git repository with errors:

$ ssh remote_server
$ git pull
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Some people advise to start ssh-agent and load keys to ssh-agent, but that does not work in my case:

Mine XMR On VPS Server Lowering CPU Usage

VPS have limited CPU and RAM usage. This is why it is hard to mine on VPS not being blocked for high consumption. I try to mine on Xeon Skylake 1 Core 2 Gb Ram.

1. Optimize Xmrig config.json

Get config.json from Xmrig wizard [1]. After first run xmrig will add many lines to your config. And you need to look at the next lines.

Under randomx object:  "mode": "light" - this makes xmrig uses 256 Mb of Ram.

Under randomx object: "1gb-pages": false - this is by default, use 2mb huge pages.
