Mining on laptop is not worth it. You'll more than likely destroy your laptop's usable life, it's not designed to run at 100% capacity 24/7

I had no idea about this stuff. So your basically saying there are services that have human beings breaking captcha's and people pay for them ? lol

Roughly 80% is still done by specialized scripts developed by the de-captcha service operator, then the 20% that script can not break gets sent to humans in Thailand/Philippines or something, and gets manually broken.

Over half of America's budget goes into Social Security and Welfare.

To contrast, 2% is spent on education, another 2% on advances in medicine and science.  Anyone who finds this agreeable is the end result of a nation whose budget for education is 2%, while socialism, warfare and debt interest make up almost the entirety of the rest.

That's quite misleading, as federal government has very little role in funding education, and 2% is too high already, it should be zero. Education is funded by local property tax and state budget.
1406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: litecoin GPU mining, what is important? mhz or ram? on: March 22, 2013, 12:06:01 AM
Im considering buying some GPUs and start to mine LiteCoin

Is it ok to do the mining on my regular computer or should I build a new one with a cheap mobo/cpu?

How do I know how many GPU cards a specific mobo will support?

Should crossfire be used or should every GPU work separate?


Litecoin mining seems a lot more sensitive to the aggressiveness input than bitcoin mining, so if you want to maximize your hashrate, you won't be able to use the PC as a desktop.

You don't need crossfire. Unlike graphics, each piece of hashing work is discreet and doesn't need to share data with other pieces, so there's no benefit from the crossfire linkage.

Graphics cards fit directly into PCI-E x16 slots, but you can get riser/adapter cables that allow you to connect a card to any size PCI-Express slot. I can't say whether this has any negative effect on mining, but lots of the big GPU miners do it, so it seems worth it.



There's absolutely zero negative effect with using a riser. The PCIE speed only affects data bandwidth. There's only tiny amount of data exchange, PCIE x1 is more than enough.

damn you crazy BTC. I give up trying to sell high buy low, all I end up doing is sell high, buy higher.

The "test" is not yet over. Angry nazi-chancellor-bitch continues pressuring and threatening this small but brave country.
All banks in Cyprus are now closed and outward money transfers are frozen until next Tuesday.



Are you kidding me? Germany is trying to SAVE Cyprus from going bankrupt, and the people of Cyprus, like Greece, is just expecting a hand out from Germany without any pain. This is the problem with Euro, it can't be easily inflated like the USD.

Looks like the game has stalled, no buys for 4 days.
(Consider it a friendly bump Wink

yes, and I think according to the rules, the guy should be refunded and game should reset? isn't that correct?

I would like to take step further and move to one time zone. Would make global life so much easier in everyway...

Yes one time zone for the entire US would make sense, but one victory at a time.

1. Volume on btc-e is Volume: 478801 LTC / 2189 BTC, that should be monthly


Nope, that's the daily volume

1413  Other / Beginners & Help / For all the newbies, STOP ALL TRANSACTIONS on: March 12, 2013, 02:46:42 AM
Due to the blockchain fork problem, STOP DOING ANY TRANSACTIONS for now, until further notice.



Moderator note: This is solved! Disregard.
1414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where are all the naysayers who asked why Litecoin is needed? on: March 12, 2013, 02:30:34 AM
yeah LTC looks great right now, as you can't do any BTC transactions for now, can't even sell your coins unless it's already on an exchange.
1415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the hell this shit was not tested on testnet? on: March 12, 2013, 02:22:48 AM
Seriously, you made TWO major changes at once (block size and database type) at once... And deployed in production and partially only (because not all people upgraded).

What the hell are the devs thinking? What is the testnet for? Testnet is not only to test userland code, but it is a fine place to test mining code too damnit!

Now know that from now on, you should ALWAYS test stuff like this on Testnet first.

I assume this has something to do with the kind of worrying "Critical: Current Bitcoin network fork. Action needed by mining pools. Merchants should hold transactions.".

Are my bitcoins worthless now?

Some people are reporting missing coins from very recent transactions, you better check your wallet to make sure.

CRASHING BETWEEN 43 $ AND 46 $ RIGHT NOW

HOW TO GET MY COINS FROM WALLET INTO MTGOX?? WHY THE F%% DOESNT MTGOX LET ME GET MY COINS IN WALLET TO SELL TO USD???

I believe it's for your own good, any recent transaction may become lost/reversed once the 0.7 chain catches up. Though it sucks that you can't sell if now if you wanted to.
1417  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Alert: chain fork caused by pre-0.8 clients dealing badly with large blocks on: March 12, 2013, 01:50:23 AM
Coins are safe, but the current value in them is not. This will have consequences.

Right now I don't understand how can coins be safe if transaction was made on the 0.8 blockchain? I'm hoping for a detailed official answer from the devs.

Coins are safe because your transactions will exist in the 0.7 blockchain too. Only issue is double spending and that's why you should not buy any coins from anyone right now.

I don't see how this can be handled without any coin loss, what about all those block rewards that were mined after the fork? how can they be re-distributed to the rightful owners?

I think what everyone wants to know is, are my coins safe? or am I holding useless 0.8 forked chain coins?

wow WTF? how did this even happen, a fork due to bug?
