Is there any way for them to get that on BTCe to dump it?

for sure, the block chain is considered valid.  So they can get the ftc on to btc-e just fine.  once they have the ftc on btc-e and have their transactions confirmed (by their won miners of course) they sell their ftc for btc and then there is no reason to keep the chain going they can just drop it.

One reason: Purely FTC mining is 'apparently' more profitable right now, so they'll continue to do that and steal money using the blocks until its less profitable than just mining BTC I'd guess.

Anyone else not able to access the site?

EDIT: problem seems to be fixed was getting a 508 error. Wow typing is hard with a broken hand, how am I going to finish all my articles in time !?!

Back to OP, interesting but not surprising.
226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Seeing the same recieve address on an altcoin. on: June 07, 2013, 05:46:34 PM
Don't all coins have their own prefix in the address? Like BTC starts with 1, LTC with L and so on? Or is this prefix not considered while deriving keys?

if both coins share the same prefix, then yes.
Even if not the prefix

Is the prefix missed out in calculation then?

Is it just me, that did the math and wondered about the results?

Grade A: 16 Engines - $97/chip  =  6.0625 $ / engine
Grade B: 15 Engines - $93/chip  =  6.2000 $ / engine
Grade C: 14 Engines - $89/chip  =  6.3571 $ / engine

So no one would "order" the Grade B/C chips. I would expect those chips to be cheaper (not absolute, but per engine) so that they can still be sold.

The silicone and dev costs are the same, but yeah odd results. nice to get binned parts though whereas Avalon apparently 5% are DOA.
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Seeing the same recieve address on an altcoin. on: June 07, 2013, 01:37:20 PM
If for example, I noticed someone using terracoin had the same receive address as my bitcoin one, could I use my bitcoin private key on the terracoin network to spend all of that person's coins? Surely this could work as they both use the same algorithm to derive the public key from the private one.

Seems like quite a big security flaw, although ridiculously unlikely to happen, it could..
229  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Cryonics Frosbit claiming 1000Gh/s - $15K?? on: June 07, 2013, 12:09:51 PM
2800W total...  BFL does 5 GH/s for about 30W, so 1000 GH/s would require 6kW.  That leaves -4.2kW to condense enough nitrogen to cool it.  Checks out!

Everyone knows thats how you cool things, put the energy being saved backwards through a heating element and then the liquid nitrogen, being so low temperature, turns the main ASIC into a superconductor negating loads of power draw. That's how it's really done. Wink
230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would anyone sell their precious bitcoins? on: June 07, 2013, 11:04:35 AM
Why would anyone sell their bitcoins? They are so rare and soo divisible!

Sell at the top of the crash, buy back @ 100ish. Result = more bitcoins.

Is it my imagination or is void_s_life Ender's Game with names changed and paraphrased. Void is Ender. Jewels is Valentine. Dan is Peter. Flob's are the Buggers. Space Fleet are the Astronaughts. The device is the monitor. Stailson is Stilson. How does devtome protect against this sort of thing generally?
bump can someone check this please? i have not read ender's game so I do not know

Yeah, it definitely looks like it has been copied from Ender's Game. It's essentially a shortened and paraphrased version of the first two chapters.

Er, sorry for that guys. I want to basically still follow Ender's Game, but I guess I got a little too carried away with staying with the basic plot. Re-writting it, but keeping far away from the plot of Ender's Game. (I didn't mean to make it completely a Ender's Game remake. Sorry guys.)

Yeah but you can't just paraphrase the events, I read it and it's de-ja-vu inducingly similar.

233  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: internet speed and hashing speed on: May 27, 2013, 07:36:18 PM
For pool mining:

Say your hashrate is 567MHash and that uses 12kb/s.


Divide by 567, times by 1000, that gives you 1GHash

Now you do the same to your bandwidth.

12 divide by 567, times by 1000.

Equals 21kb/s per ghash.



Replace 12 and 567 in all instances with your bandwidth and hashrate.

If Bitcoins turn out not to be profitable is the pool willing to consider mining other SHA256 based coins? Do we get to choose where our hashing power is directed?

ASICS can't do SHA256 currently

I think you mean scrypt, DOH. ASICs are the reason terracoin difficult bounces so much.
237  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Anyone heard about these guys? on: May 27, 2013, 06:35:57 PM
let me fire up this computer again...looks like they just came back online a little bit ago. They were down yesterday and this morning

I can see the website, no need to DDOS. Anyone dumb enough to send money to people who can't spell and who put up a pic of a router next to a shit mouse and 5 year old iPod as 'proof' deserves to loose their money tbh.
238  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: internet speed and hashing speed on: May 27, 2013, 06:10:39 PM
Use a bandwidth monitor on your existing mining setup and multiply it out till you have the speed you want to know.
239  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [Ann]Purchase ASIC chips and assembly now: 2,457 chips left. on: May 26, 2013, 11:57:36 PM
So if you receive faulty goods we have to pay for more to replace them?

Surely this should be factored into the cost and we get 100% working products. This is the risk in assembling hardware, how is it fair to offload that risk completely onto your customers? Will you be charging more if one of the capacitors, PCBs, voltage regulators or transistors you buy is dodgy too?



Some of us just want to just pay and get a working product, not worry about whether when you're making 'our' miner that something could go wrong and we end up having to pay more/organise chip replacements, receive refunds for extra spare chips unused etc. Its hassle, and some of us don't have the time or patience for that.


Anyway, what's the ETA and total USD cost on being able to order a 'working klondike miner'? Having to pay in 2 different currencies and having to preorder potential extra parts for you to use in production is awkward and odd.

Okay so I made my own altcoin and ran it in 4 different VM's. Now it is telling me that I have 70000 per-existing blocks on the network... a network that until recently has not existed. Why is this happening? and How can it be fixed?

You created and hashed your own genesis block...?

Yes

Why??

If you ain't competent enough to make this work you shouldn't be releasing a coin. Go back and read the whitepapers again a few more times till you can work out what's wrong. We ain't just gonna spoonfeed you just so that you can dilute the alts and clutter the altcoin forum any more.
