if that's true  (it is)...
-end of discussion. 

well let me ask you, does 15 total posts from a newbie look like a 'lifewaster' to you (Mr 546 posts hero member), or is it possible you are projecting your own guilty feelings of wasting your life on fairy currency onto someone else?

Nevertheless, I do own a small amount of bitcoin, -as an insurance against it's rise, and because I like it frankly.  I'm not out much if it goes down, but I'm not out of the loop if it were to skyrocket.  That's the extent of my interest...

btw,  big gov backs the big music industry, just like the big banks-  that's the key difference.  Wall Street Occupiers could not complain if they broke the law and were arrested for doing something the gov told them not to.  If we buy something the gov tells us not too, especially something that challenges or even usurps it's establishment and government big banking- than you are seen as it's enemy,  and do you find yourself surprised that the gov won't help you get back the bitcoins you hope to usurp it with?

There's the difference.  It's a bit like being a freedom fighter in Ukraine now and then complaining to that government who you are fighting against that a fellow rebel stole your cache of ammo and RPG's.  Oh... waaaa.  What would have happened in Egypt if the protestors tried to sue another rebel faction in court for the ammo they stole from them? "Wait, guys, these other rebels took our ammo.  Can you please help me get it back?"  

Sure, I'm sure that would go over nicely.

The moral of this is, if you are going to go against the banking industry, the national currency, and create your own 'currency' outside the safety net of regulated fiat AML KYC suable structures, then you don't have much to say if you lose your stuff.  You can't go crying to big banking, big gov and plead with them for help.

-Sorry guys.  If it's really the wild west here in Bitcoinia, then confront Gox people wild west style, -yourself (not with guns obviously.)

-It seems that no sheriff is going to save you.

no.  of course not-

-hold it for a few years, till you see what becomes of it all.

the short answer?  no.

no one is successfully going to class action Gox.  Bitcoins aren't real.  What are they going to cry to the government about, a missing computer hash?


not to mention, the governments have been warning people not to buy it for a long time.  Bitcoins don't exist, they're not recognized as currency, so nothing was stolen when you bought "air" with your real money.

 

I might be interested-

pm'd you.

Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate it-
I'd be grateful if anyone has some any informational links.

From the information I've come across, litecoin source contains SHA256 algorithms, only the memory requirement is more.

Why not add massive 500GB of non ECC memory to a server board and some bitcoin mining chips?

Am I missing something or is 3TH of scrypt hashing power on ltc just not worth the effort to any dev out there?

It only says "connection problems" in guiminer, that''s the error.  cgminer just hangs forever-  although both cgminer and guiminer work with the 8gb stick.

thread concurrency, thanks I'll try that.


old architecture processor, I'm not sure.  If I had a way to test a newer one...

thanks for any info-

I can't run CGMiner or Guiminer (my first choice) on my brand new mining rig.  4GB Ram appears to be the culprit-
Windows boots up fine runs fine, install CGMiner or Guiminer, check- but then  "connection problems" is the error it throws when I fire up the miner.  Internet works fine, FF works fine, downloading fine..  so it isn't a "connection problem" obviously.

What works.. I replace the 4GB ram stick (yes in the right mb slot) with an 8gb one and presto! mining!  All parts are brand new, and I even tried replacing the 4gb with a higher quality one, same thing happens! The ram is nearly identical as far as I can tell but only the 8gb stick works?  Can someone please tell me why?

The 8gb stick is borrowed from another system and needs to go back to it.   I really just wanted the 4gb stick to work.

specs:
Windows 7 64
 ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
 AMD Sempron X2 190
4X Sapphire R9 290x
2x Corsair 650 gold rated psu with adapter and risers.

RAM not working:
 CORSAIR 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Vengeance XMP
Memory PC12800, CL9-9-9-24

Ram Working:
Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Black Vengeance
Memory 2x8GB, PC3-12800, CL9-9-9-24, XMP 1.3

any help please...

Can someone please tell me, can you still mine PTS?  if so, for how long?  Has the last block been found, and if so, is there anything like a PTS 2.0 coming?

I wanted to try CPU mining but it seems I may be late...

*bump*

Good question praxis, I want to know the same thing.  Seems protoshares was the most profitable up until recently.

If I might ask, how much are you earning in dollars from mining primecoin?  I'm considering it...

should be fine.

I'm running 4 R9 290x on a 1200W with no issues (thus far)! 

in a very cold room though with the windows open- near freezing outside.

This has been covered before but the posts are old and located anywhere and everywhere hard to find.


I have 4x Sapphire R9 290x.  Will mine scrypt-  *not planning to undervolt or overclock.* I get 800khs already-


I need a reliable cheap RECENT mobo that isn't out of date, not-made anymore, unavailable in Europe, etc.

do I need powered risers with it? Hard to get here...  have already 2 16x non-powered ones that I'm testing on and a 1200w gold-rated psu which is maxing out.

Don't need a new psu, keeping it simple. 



What cheap and reliable mobo please!  Need it asap-  suggestions please-

Apparently because Dogecoin is so cheap, and the difficulty is so low, the incentive to scam miners is huge right now.

I've been through 4 of the major pools already and people are getting scammed left and right

- I'm mining at 3.2khs


fast-pool.com   - really?  150khs less hashrate for SOME REASON on each miner and they don't know why?  Gimme a break, their stealing khs from you somehow.

doge.Netcodepool.org  -   worked decent for the first half day, checking every hour. Then...  suddenly I've been hashing for 4 hours, I'm watching blocks get solved and not a single share is credited to my account (unconfirmed) except for one block.  They're counting on you not watching after the first day or so, blocks going bye bye and never crediting to you.  Likely every other block or more.  Unless you watch the blocks change you never notice...

doge.scryptpools.com   -  where to start-  worked great for a day, until you stop watching, then no withdrawals.  Just look up the thread and read all the angry posts from people whose doges were frozen indefinitely.

dogecoinpool.net   -  worked ok for awhile, admin was great and responded when I couldn't withdraw my doges, however blocks taking upwards of 40hours to solve.  My profit 'should'' be around 70-90,000 doge/day, and I was seeing 15k due to the long blocks or other.




what a frenzy we're in for doges, literally admins running pools to rip miners off of $9 worth of doges... how damn desperate!  Are these people in Nigeria or what?  Why not rip off something in a store and sell it for $1,000 to a pawn shop and buy millions of doges?  What's the damn deal for doing this and going to all this effort to rip miners off of $10 in doges?  Seriously!

watch out-  just about every pool will rip you off of your precious $10 or $20 in doges before you know it.  How can any work get done this way?

solo mining.  That's the only way.

1 day not withdraw 15,000 doge.   

many disappoint, so grinch. very steal.

-much pirate,  wow.

Thanks,  yes I'll take them for 1 BTC  shipped to my address in London.

PM'd you-

please a little help for a first-time builder-

I am trying to put together a 5x R9 290 rig and am very torn on which motherboard to purchase.  Is there any general consensus?  I'm not looking to overclock, or squeeze every last ounce of Kh/s from the cards, and I don't want to mess with jumpers, bios, very much if ANY.  

I just want the closest thing to plug in and mine -cheaply.

I came across this post-
http://www.coinminingrigs.com/how-to-build-a-6-gpu-mining-rig/
-which recommends the   MSI Z77A-GD65 Z77 DDR3 1600 LGA 1155, and I'm getting ready to order it from Amazon unless there is something better.


Can someone recommend for a first-time builder?  I'm just following that guide but not convinced it's the correct option.

(Should I be looking at Haswell?  )

are they still available?

I'll buy them $1600, shipping to London

Thanks-
