Title: fakeminer - All the thrills of mining, none of the drawbacks Post by: rethaw on July 04, 2011, 07:02:39 AM First a little story. I am without a mining rig for the weekend. I am in the middle of a trade for a new card but found I really missed that gradual scroll of shares and speed measurement. With my rig feeling empty, I decided it needed something to do.
fakeminer https://github.com/rethaw/fakeminer (https://github.com/rethaw/fakeminer) Fakeminer allows you to get the thrill of mining without the increased electricity bill or heat. Amaze your friends with impossible hashing rates. Code: Usage: fakeminer.py [options]
Running it is as simple as: Code: python fakeminer.py -o ultrapool.comm -p 1337 -s 500 You are now mining on ultrapool with 500 Mhash/s! Available on github (https://github.com/rethaw/fakeminer). This software is offered without a license or warranty of any kind. The biggest risk of fakemining is making your fake video card so fast it floods your console. Future additions may include: notification of a found block, a fake pool for housing your fake coins, being able to set to 51% of the total hashrate to get a double spend. I look forward to further suggestions.

Testcoins are the new bitcoins, but don't tell anyone until I have hoarded enough of them.

You can bust a laptop CPU out on that thing and get 2700x as much in testBTC as you would in crappy regular namecoins. Shhh, silence! Testcoins are the new bitcoins, but don't tell anyone until I have hoarded enough of them. How do you mine these test coins? how to mine with GUIMiner? So this is the new thing after Bitcoin,namecoin and now test coin?wow looks like bitcoin based currencies are gaining steam now.Since mining namecoins is too complex for due due to registering a domain,but when I do it,it never works for me.I hope test coins can be mined easily atm as in no complex crap in the setup for the mining. I want in on this,set me up asap for testcoin mining on PC and Mac,thank you. Title: Re: fakeminer - All the thrills of mining, none of the drawbacks Post by: organofcorti on July 08, 2011, 09:27:22 AM I have some feature requests:
1. Fake power bill. 2. Fake forum for more time wastage. 3. Fake gf yelling at you to "turn the bloody thing off while we're watching tv, it sounds like a hairdryer". And also fake not having sex that night. Title: Re: fakeminer - All the thrills of mining, none of the drawbacks Post by: deepceleron on July 08, 2011, 02:54:47 PM Why don't you just mine -testnet.

Run bitcoin or bitcoind with the -testnet flag to use the testnet (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Testnet) (or put testnet=1 in the bitcoin.conf file). The block chain for testnet is sometimes reset, so enjoy your fake money while you have it. Edit: "BA-ZINGA!"
