Any ETA on the litecoin pool?

You have zero turnover for DVC because you can't bit low enough, so everyone uses other exchanges. This has been mentioned more than once. I'll ask again--- will you allow buying DVC for less than 0.000001? Currently, 0.000001 BTC per DVC is the lowest amount I can offer, but that is higher than DVC is worth on other exchanges.

That's the same as what you had posted to PHPClasses, right? Also, thanks, I'll be taking a look at it. Hopefully it can be a collaborative effort to make a canonical PHP Bitcoin library that can be universally reused.

Facts. They are not needed in this thread.
Fact: When I sign up with a pool to me (and many others) there is a relationship with the pool op, one in which I provide my hash rate and computing power to be pooled in an effort to find the coin(s) I want to mine. Not using my computing power for any other purpose, particularly shady side attacking. With that said some may like this but their are a lot of douches in the world... The statement you made is false. You don't understand mining. You do not provide your computer as a platform that others can run their code on. He didn't say the pool op has access to the miners' computers to do nefarious things with. In a technical sense, miners *only* provide hashes to the pool, nothing more. In a moral sense, there is an unwritten agreement as to what those hashes will be used for. Namely, to mine BTC and possibly NMC. If the pool op uses those hashes for other purposes and without the miners' consent, it's morally iffy to wrong. If he was simply purchasing hashes for a fixed price, to use as he wanted it would be a different moral situation than a cooperative where hundreds of people pool their resources and split the profit.

It would be really cool if this were integrated directly into cgminer. forrestv what do you think of that? Have you had any dialog with ckolivas at all?
I worked a bit with him to get cgminer and P2Pool working well together. I don't know how useful that would be... A lot of people have multiple machines running cgminer and one P2Pool instance. Why do you want it integrated? I'd think some kind of monitoring tool that started P2Pool and cgminer might be better. I was thinking it would be nice to just be able to download one program, set your payout address and run it to start mining on P2Pool. But now that you mention it and I think about it, I'm ok with installing 3 programs (bitcoind, cgminer, p2pool). Like you mention, a monitoring tool that would start and monitor all 3 programs would be nice.

I think it could be cool to have some more coins or other bitcoin-like commodities in the pool. But I just wish the bitcoin clones would have some real purpose and novel features. Well, maybe I'm mixing up purpose and profitability?
Any thoughts, everyone? Devcoin? Litecoin? Others?
I wasn't making any comment on the usefulness of devcoin, I just don't see a reason not to merge mine and sell the devcoins for a tiny bit of extra profit. In terms of purpose, Litecoin looks to be the best of the alt chains, but it can't be merge-mined with Bitcoin.

DrHaribo, have you considered adding Devcoin merged mining support?

I'm going to design another one to throw into tip jars. I need to come up with something eye catching so they don't just throw it away and actually read it. Any ideas?
First thing that comes to mind to keep it from getting thrown away, is to make a business card sized design, print "Redeemable for X Satoshi" in a large size on one side, and print it on nice, heavy card stock.

What email address are the emails sent from? I want to look and make sure they are not going in my spam folder or something.
EDIT: Nice looking newsletter, btw.

What email address are the emails sent from? I signed up since I wanted to see what the emails look like, etc. before possibly using the service to advertise, but I haven't received any emails yet.

Hmmm, some good may have come out of this yet.

Only problem is that the lowest price you can bid on BTC-e is 0.000001 BTC per DVC, however that's higher than the current going rate for DVC, for example, the last price on Vircurex was 0.00000069 BTC per DVC. Edit: Looks like cablepair beat me to it. Edit2: btc-e: why not allow bidding to 8 digits, since that's what Bitcoin currently supports?

FWIW, I cloned the git repository and compiled on Ubuntu-- the daemon is working fine.

Thanks. Another question-- what's the current state of work on a GUI for devcoin?
|
|
|
Thanks. It probably wouldn't hurt to update the first post in this thread with that information.

Why not rollback/postpone merged mining until the problem is worked out?
|
|
|
So we should instill false and unjustified faith in random cryptocoin ponzi schemes?
Um, Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme as much as any other alt coin is.
|
|

Pyramid schemes built upon forks of the Bitcoin software ultimately discredit and harm Bitcoin's reputation.
Attacking and killing them serves to provide ultimately more discredit to the entire project than just letting them slide into oblivion. What you have achieved here is simply wasting your time to no productive end. This.
