you can probably do it friend but its a dark art, and most people for the price just go 3 cards max and then build another rig.

i mean i can pick up a Motherboard for 89$ with a 8 pin cpu - runs 3 cards perfect, what does the CPU cost you? 40$ Ram ? I've never run more than 4Gb.

I've found generally when you go more than that , basically you are asking the hardware to try to achieve things it was not meant to, i.e your reliability and up time curve starts to fall.

others may disagree, but that is what i have found, I can run all hardware to its maximum performance and have very few stops, in this manner with certain parameters.

space has recently become an issue so i need to pack more bang in less space.

1345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Antimatter Official Development and Release on: August 24, 2013, 08:05:06 AM
Yes, but the value of antimatter would be only in a market developing for one of its underlying coins. So, one of the coins gains value. Therefore the coins that you own have that value, AND there is implied value in the antimatter coins, which are owned by others. Now, you can sell your underlying coins and capture that value, while the holders of the antimatter coins might still value their coins as if they were still backed by what you just sold... Or am i missing something here?

Actually, value of this coin rises from the fact that you place value on the time and resources used to mine the crap coins, since noone trades or uses them, you can buy in to this one, someone else with his collection of crapcoins will also buy in, it cascades. in the end we have +500 people who instead of being divided between +25 untraded coins now push forward one coin. User base plus activity= people notice. Once people notice it gains momentum, with that people begin to actively support it, ergo one who has a hundred of them now expects a certain amount of compensation for them... that my friend is value. please tell me, have you heard of skycoin? or 6coin and 8coin? there so many other examples of coins that got attention but died at some point yet we still have holders. By bringing these holders together under a common denome, they attain value for their while, it may be smaller or greater than expected, but that is for the market to decide.
1346  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Physical Noirbits and Noirbank Update on: August 24, 2013, 07:19:42 AM
I am currently mulling the idea of making physical Noirbits, this comes as a result of the Noirbank project being formally accepted. Although they most likely will not be a widely accepted currency unless we do something BTC has failed to do, i think it's a small step in the right direction. Due to financial constraints the coins will most likely be made using semi-precious metals. I'd like to see if there is interest in them then i'll make a decision, ideas are encouraged. Would denominated coins be a good idea?

In the mean time, once i pay the registration fees and clear the legal obligations, i will make the formal announcement of Noirbank.
1347  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GameCoin (GME) - MANDATORY UPDATE to v0.8.1 before August 15th on: August 24, 2013, 06:27:04 AM

I'm sorry, but you're not "just mining". You appear to be exhibiting very hostile mining habits. You throw your hash rate at a coin with a low difficulty until it retargets causing a massive difficulty increase. At which point you then leave that coin/blockchain and jump to another one. In the process bringing the network to a halt/slow crawl. After hours of others mining and trying to get the coin to recover with a lower difficulty which matches the network hash, you come back and repeat the process.

Despite what you say, I see no evidence of your supposed 110 mhs still on the network.

You are essentially attacking the coin by means of a high difficulty attack.

This is not something that happens accidentally, it is an intentional attack on this and various other coins that you mine with the same method.
Watching the blockchain and the rate which blocks are solved, you can clearly see the start of the difficulty attack by tanking the network, and the damage it inflicts when you leave.


Please prove me wrong on this assumption. Wink


I'm not attacking Gamecoin, if I wanted GME dead it would be dead as I was more than 75% of the networkhashps for about 24 hours and could easily be 90% or better with a few tweaks. All I am doing is mining and switching coins when it becomes more profitable, you know kinda like a few pools and a lot of miners do with alt coins using Coinchoose. I just don't use Coinchoose pool or software.

The reason the drop is drastic when I quit mining is that while I am mining a lot of fair weather miners pull off due to the diff rise and mine elsewhere. So when I leave you get a combined effect.

FYI, I was never going to mine GME to begin with until one of your coin devs starting giving me crap about pointing out a flaw in Ahmed Bodi's pool. A flaw where a miner could mine at twice the normal scrypt speed, produce all rejects and still accumulate paid shares.

 I would be very careful about asking me to prove otherwise when I say I am not attacking your coin. If you would like I can absolutely demonstrate the difference between simple mining and killing it so that you won't be confused in the future.


I await your answer.

such a menacing/threatening response is uncalled for, people are well aware of your feats. Some respect you some loathe you, making statements like this has the effect of making the yes become a no. your work has weeded out weak coins and helped people figure out issues let's keep it that way... just my two penises.

i'd just like to know if you are his spokesman? if he is for real then he should respond clearly in a manner that may dissuade fears.
I have never met the man, I have never had dealing with the man, I did not donate to him.

That said, I have done programming in the past.  While GPU programming is outside my league, I have sufficient math background and knowledge to know what is entailed in the fermat testing that he is attempting to port over.  If you were to ask me, to quickly and successfully port this over, you'd need a person with at least a masters degree in mathematics along with a person with intimate programming knowledge of GPUs.  Since I doubt mtrlt has both of these things, I forsee a lengthy challenge in getting this ported over.  Computers can easily deal with the large numbers we have here:  While saying 2^255 does not seem big, as a binary number (which is the easiest way to deal with large numbers in a GPU), we are talking a number that looks something like this:

1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111111111111

And that is the smallest number primecoin deals with.  I'm not going to show you 2^2000, but FYI it's almost 8 times as long.

The GPU has no registers that allow a number this large to be calculated, so the program involved must break this down into smaller chunks and perform the calculations and then put them back together again without error.

Mainly, I do not suffer fools gladly.   Hmmm, I should make that my signature.

Thanks for answering my question, the rest of the info is for the guys interested in arguing this.

1354  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POS on: August 23, 2013, 09:19:39 AM

2) Diamond wher 100 Diamond = 1 Platinum.
3) Gold where 100 Gold = 1 Diamond
4) Silver where 1000 silver = 1 Gold
5) Copper  where 1000 copper = 1 Silver

Rates will be fixed? If so, then there will be a serious problem. Someone could ask why not 1 platinum = 10 diamond, and he will be right.

perhaps dynamic adjustment would be more practical, but i'm already stretching MY mind quite far on this one, some of the ideas i do not even know how to implement, i'd like to do it, but the math involved to make a dynamic adjustment system is not something i am confident i can do.
1355  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POS on: August 23, 2013, 08:56:05 AM
True, i have been thinking of that too. I myself have only recently become interested in POS. Perhaps it's time for new ideas...

I thought of creating a psuedo-merge-mined coin with set exchange rates. my idea is to have have different reward types that are not random or super blocks. They all have to be earned through mining, the idea is to use the same daemon or client.

Each has a separate starting difficulty that reflects the rarity and value of the reward. Strictly this will include libzerocoin and POH once i figure it out.

For example a single chain with 5 diff targets for different rewards.

1) Platinum (very rare )
2) Diamond wher 100 Diamond = 1 Platinum.
3) Gold where 100 Gold = 1 Diamond
4) Silver where 1000 silver = 1 Gold
5) Copper  where 1000 copper = 1 Silver


with a starting diff of (maybe) 50x the current of LTC or even a hundred, i'm sure it will be a while before we see any plat holders. the lowest diff, that of copper would be a diff 2 scrypt. although most would shy away, i believe that ca full currency system like this should reflect current trends, most of the algos used  before were made for cpu mining, which is why we have so many dead and dying coins after gpu's raise the diff then leave it to rot. worse with multipools popping up that can boast a straight gigahash on scrypt it become evident that we need to adjust to fit the situation, hardware and pooling of resources.   

The chain(s) would have a floating circulation that allows exchange from one reward to the other and because of hard limiting (changeable with time).

Say you have a small cpu ( intel i3) you could start mining coppers by using "setgenerate cop -1", since coppers are abundant and have low starting difficulty and a low interest rate they would make sense to mine with a smal cpu. For someone with more formidable power, they could "setgenerate pla -1" say on a fx 8350 or two and attempt to mine Platinum rewards. However most would think that you can get Plat or GLD by mining copper and trading up, this is met with a hard throttle in that the money supply is not only hard capped and throttled when too much is produced, but it's difficulty responds directly to the availabilty of the other currencies combined, ergo it becomes impossible to bite the system. Say we all decided to get in on the action by mining easy copper and silver, the diff of the two will be proportionally increased by the lack thereof of support from Plat and Diamond. This rough implementation of forced scarcity will push the diff up exponentially to the point that if pushed far enough, copper could match the diff of Plat. As an artificial yet effective system it will regulate minting of all rewards based on actual money supply.

The chain it's self will be CPU mineable, having parameters that do not support GPU is an idea, but i will not fool myself, once there is enough money involved, someone will set out to do it. Look at QRK and XMP, people have decided to get rich and are working on it.  

The integration of libzero (or a hack of it) and POH is key because i believe that people have a right to a modicum of privacy, although many may say it encourages criminal activity, i still see paper money and bank transfers happen between criminals. At least this is digital money that for now cannot be used to buy coke at the corner. POH is my baby and i'd like to see how it does in the world, i do not mind a man who goes to Amazon and spends his money hoarding graphics cards, but i think it is immoral to infect computers that do not belong to you and commandeer them to mine for you.

 Sad i actually caught someone installing cpuminer on hospital computers.


so, what do you think?

1356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POS on: August 22, 2013, 08:03:24 PM

POH uses a coin validation system that requires you to validate POW and POS coins mined by mining a POH block after a certain amount of blocks, the only issue we are facing at the moment is that most users would circumvent this by using pools, ergo the pool runner is the one tasked with mining POH blocks. like i said we are still working on it.

libzero is experimental at the moment but basically it's a way to make transactions untraceable in the blockchain by minting unmarked coins that can later be redeemed with none the wiser. BTC once had "laundries" and "mixers" but these all died due to scams. libzero allows a user to transact anonymously, also you can clean your own coins by trading off into "zerocoins" then later redeeming them. Think of it as a mixed money system that has marked bills and unmarked coupons that any coin owner can trade around. It is highly experimental and most shy away from it's implementation, but i belive POH and this are the next logical step. but as they say, talk is cheap. I've read up on most of this and tried some things, however i sometimes feel out of my depth.

do the poh and your coin is ruined. I am human but I run a fairly large operations, wouldnt be clicking or filling something in. its run and forget.

do you have an idea how much damage botnets are doing to other systems, especially if they do not belong to you? The system is conceptual... it does not require frequent user input. the paper will be published in december with a working prototype.
1360  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: POS on: August 22, 2013, 05:14:52 PM
Please don't, look at CAPs and ADT...

oh, it was just a question, no plans at all  Grin

was just curious, it seems integrating POS and libzerocoin is better from the beginning, have tried asking around but it seems no one is interested in adding anonymity to transactions.

ever heard of the POH system? proof of human, kinda conceptual at the moment but it works to cut off botnets.
