The fun part is that Thomas doesn't even have to be the original Satoshi. He can just be some Fred that wanted to play an anagram game to get people stirred up.

What a fool he was... 100btc for worthless ixc... didn't he see that coming? ixc was a 100% scam from the start.

Perfect, that works. Thanks.

Some one want to tell me how I'm supposed to generate a wallet and payment address with I0coin when the Linux package doesn't include the freaking client? It has i0coind but no i0coin to connect and run commands.

You did... oh wait, I guess you're making BTC, at the rate of 1 ever 14 years. Have fun with that. Also ASP sucks.

Was pumped up, now just smells like dump.

This is likely due to a bug in the application where it's not closing connections properly. Simple solution: create a /etc/crontab entry that restarts apache and/or mysql every N hours.

Perfect. I'm sold. Now someone just needs to make it and I'll sign up.

Please explain how this would work faster than the current methods. You would still have to link a bank account and those transfers are just as fast now as they can be made... ie: Exchanging BTC to USD on MtGox is a slow process. In either case you're still mining for BTC and then converting it to cash.. only now there is some middle man handling the work request (which I'm sure takes a fee similar to MtGox).

Maybe if someone explained this a bit better I'd see where the benefit is.

Hmm, let me see. Ok I read the code, it's a waste of time. Is that sufficient for you?

Are typos literally the same as using a word with the incorrect meaning when you assume everyone will interpret your point the way you meant? I'm not a grammar nazi - this is just basic english. Literally: 1. In a literal manner or sense; exactly. If you meant what you did you should have said "IXcoin is LIKE Bitcoin, but slightly different."

It's ok to be wrong but being a dick about it when people correct you makes you sound like a child.

Old laptops will not give any mhash at all. maybe some khash, that's it. not worth the effort. here's an idea, I know it's crazy.. buy a mining rig and leave it at home while you are at work. wow!

Not sure why this would help. Miners need consistency, not a time consuming process of looking for "orders" - not sure how you would order a specific hash to mine anyway, everyone is looking for the next block regardless. Also, what makes ordering hashes any different than placing a trade for BTC at mt.gox?

If you expect to be treated like an adult please use words that you want people to take at their definition. Otherwise I could say that literally you don't know what you're talking about.

His point is that there is no need for a whole tool to run a command that already exists in the original program. It's a complete waste of coding. Also, ixcoin is bs, waste of time, nonsense.

I'm imagining that you have yet to own any real mining rigs and thus are not aware of the reality of the noise and heat they put out. Not to mention that >2 6990 cards in a case are rather difficult to cool, let alone a briefcase with 4 of them. Have you lifted a rig with 4x GPU cards before? It's not something you want to take on the train with you during the commute. Oh, there's also the "Yeah I left my $4000 rig at the office unattended and not locked up from prying ears and eyes."

Please, think before you post stuff like this.

I don't understand why people keep bringing up cloud computing for mining. Do the OPs not understand that cloud services do not save you money (especially for mining)! cloud computing is more costly than physical servers even for enterprises (most of the time) because you are actually paying for the ability to rapidly support operational capacity growth without standing up physical hardware. cloud bandwidth is more $ than regular, data storage is more $ than regular, computing time is more $ than regular - businesses pay the extra $ for the flexibility of cloud services. just because amazon and others have a month of free service doesn't mean you're going to get anything useful for mining in that time period.

so sick of cloud threads - OP just get a 5830 or 6870 and be done with it. are newbs not learning the basics these days or what? it should be obvious that cloud services are not good for mining if you understand what makes good mining hardware.

Not sure what the point of this thread is. Only a select few miners actually support their entire income via btc mining. Go ahead though, turn your rig off and see if I (or anyone else) cares.

Pete (the guy that runs miningmonitor) adds new pool support all the time, feel free to PM him for the pool request.
