Ok, you're at least as intellectual honest as myself, perhaps even more. Thanks!

Regarding the point of pump-and-dump and your view against "banksters" and Icelandic people's "shackles", take a look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=474757.0

See the irony?

Unless this coin is released by Icelandic devs and supporters, you guys don't see a problem of foreigners feeling entitled to replace the currency of Iceland?

You also don't see a problem of foreigners pumping-and-dumping a national currency on an exchange? Also, who said Icelanders want to get rid of the government they elected?
Auroracoin gives them CHOICE.  If they choose not to adopt it, that's fine.  If they like the idea and utilize it, fantastic.  

As for foreigners trading others' currency, it is done to the tune of trillions of dollars a day on the forex markets.

And nobody ever said anything about getting rid of their government.
So, you don't see the irony, neither you're interested in directly addressing the points?

Very well. Let's hope this is INDEED the best for Icelanders, not a "rat's lab" experiment.

The Barrel shifter is not present on 3.0 cards like the GTX760, but is already on 3.5 Titans. You can see that on Wikipedia.

I may be wrong since I don't program CUDA neither I have a 750Ti in hand, but my impression is that NVidia catched up and fixed it's own problems, not surpassed (by much) the already efficient ATI design. Turning the tables would depend in impressive engineering feat by NVidia but also ATI sloppiness in it's current line, which nobody managed to point out yet.

Then there's always the physical limit of using the same TSMC silicon and 28nm technology.

I'd be happy if both are on an even playing field , that would likely normalize prices, unless even Nvidia and AMD combined can't meet demand from miners (which I doubt).
Indeed. That's exactly what I hope for.

Perhaps high latency on memory accesses is the only thing holding ATI back on mining.

1006  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If an altcoin were to overtake Bitcoin, which would it be? on: February 20, 2014, 07:38:25 AM
None. Some alt may get "close" to Bitcoin if it is collapsing. All alts will come down too.
1007  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CGminer process closed outside of CGwatcher on: February 20, 2014, 06:11:41 AM
Pay attention to the pool you're mining at.

Perhaps it is providing cgminer with garbled data and making it crash.
1008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 3x ASUS R9 290x, help with low hash rate on: February 20, 2014, 05:56:58 AM
Perhaps you can solve your problem here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12830.0

Please don't burden the BIOS modder. See: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=15902.0

Also, read until it's clear how or if you should proceed. I'm not sure if it is ok to download a modded bios, or you are supposed to extract and submit your own, or something else. It is at one's own risk. I do not have R9-290 cards, so I didn't follow the thread.
1009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin will skyrocket? on: February 20, 2014, 05:43:06 AM
in the not too distant future they will get rid of physical cash... just too anon really. Give it 10 years and physical cash will be a thing of the past..
Hope not Smiley

Thanks for trying to be fair and inclusive.

I believe this is a good coin and a good release. I'll be glad to provide the Portuguese translation for free, if nobody steps up for the bounty in the next 2 weeks or so.
1011  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scrypt Hosted Contracts on: February 20, 2014, 03:43:55 AM
Perhaps you will get more out of your investment if you offer non-scrypt coin mining, or even GPU time for other purposes.
1012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wow, Alt-coins.... Game over on: February 20, 2014, 01:47:00 AM
Even though i mine, personally i think Miner greed is greatly responsible for the demise of Altcoins and investors have been the losers, alot of developers have also lost money when they saw the value of their coin go down which resulted in them abandoning their coins.

The thing is Miners are now running out of investors who are willing to buy coins, because every coin that gains some value gets mega-dumped by large miners and multipools, investors are tired of being bag holders. IMO Altcoins in the past 2 months created the greatest transfer of wealth from non-miners to miners. Investors are also looking at short-term trading (buy low new coin and sell quickly without holding), you don't hear about many 'holders' anymore since everyone kind of knows that miners will dump an altcoin to oblivion.

I"m not saying Altcoins are dead, but i think we're entering a new phase soon where only innovative coins built from scratch will have a chance of gaining some real value. The whole Mine+dump= free money concept will also end.

Also i think POS has more future than POW.
Fair point, but then the success of a PoW coin is not measured on how many satoshis it is worth, but rather if it keeps a sustainable hash-rate for transaction processing. If nobody uses a coin to buy stuff or to transfer money around the world, there's no need for mining.

Additionally, any crypto-currency is successful if it is useful, not how profitable it is for miners or "investors". I don't see them as an alternative to hedge funds or stock market, I see them as alternatives to Visa, Paypal and fiat.

1014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Miner starts then turns off then start and loops etc on: February 19, 2014, 10:10:32 PM
Moving Windows installations from one mobo to other can lead to trouble, yes. Perhaps you installed Windows with the storage controller (on the BIOS) configured to AHCI and now it's on IDE, or the other way around.

Reinstalling Windows on the motherboard you plan to use and keeping the same storage configuration, will improve or fix your situation.

OCZ are typically bad SSDs though, that may be an extra point of failure.
1015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Compare pools: MiddleCoin/CleverMining/HashCows/WafflePool/Hashbros on: February 19, 2014, 09:55:43 PM
I might mention that clevermining implemented some newer equipment today and the base reject rate has dropped quite a bit. I actually saw it go below 5% for a period of time. That said, all switching pools suffer higher rejects and stales because of the stales created during a switch to another coin, and the fact that some coin strata (faster coins) have contention because of the fast block times. Comes with the territory...

I have my hash power split between middlecoin and clever for the last 48 hours or so - the smaller rig grinding MC and the larger grinding Clever to spread out the variance and average my returns - and I'm pretty pleased with the results. My 1.8MH rig on MC will likely clear .02 BTC for the last 24 hours while my 4.8MH rig will clear about .05 on Clever.

If I had more rigs, I'd use them the same way - one or two mining on each pool and sit back and enjoy the action.

YMMV

r00tdude
Perhaps you could do even a bit better if you use load-balance, instead of pointing each rig to a different pool...
1016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Doge coin is bad on: February 19, 2014, 09:14:22 PM
I said this in other words before, but I have the impression that Doge "community" is filled with angry teens that a while ago used to "pwn n00bs" while playing gory FPS, or otoh littered forums with futile and stupid AMD/Intel/NVidia fanboyism ...

If it's so, it will take a while for people to overcome the negativism of those "scenes", cute puppies and reddit tips or not. Let's hope for the best!
1017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do alt coin developers make money on their coin? on: February 19, 2014, 09:01:50 PM
Even if they don't premine it, they instamine it. One hand clicks on the [ANN] thread "submit" button, the other starts the mining rigs.  Smiley  It typically takes a while and progressively for other people to react and move their hashpower to the coin
1018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Compare pools: MiddleCoin/CleverMining/HashCows/WafflePool/Hashbros on: February 19, 2014, 05:53:57 PM
As I said elsewhere, don't let rejects scare you. Some coins naturally lead to high % of stales and lost work, due to fast block times. Pool operators compensate for stales when they choose coins, I hope.

There are scenarios where the above is false, like when you're too far from the pool or the pool's coin node is far from others (e.g. is mining a coin only popular in Asia) or when the pool operator didn't fine tune.

I can't even discuss well the reasons of rejects. What I'm trying to say is though, don't run away from higher payouts just because the miner software window looks ugly.
1019  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's up with MaxCoin? on: February 19, 2014, 02:27:07 AM
it won't be worse then most of my other investments in a crypto.

crying hard for my other investment in crypto.

cosmocoin, earthcoin, worldcoin, new Zealand coin(MEC), Iceland coin, tiny little backyard coin
tiger coin, doge coin, cat coin, mouse coin, maggot coin
extreme coin, stable coin, fast coin, slow coin,
pot coin, sex coin, casino coin, tittie coin,
ron paul coin, kenye west coin, gaga coin, paris hilton coin

And I am feeling so small,
It was over my head,
I know nothing at all,

And you will stumble and fall,
I'm still learning to love,
til you find a bottom and crawl


LMFAO!

Fan speed is still too low and voltage too high if your VRMs are at 92ºC. I'd raise fan speed a bit and sacrifice those 33 Kh/s for a bit lower voltage. Perhaps 1075 mV and 1020 Mhz.
