Fun Fact!

You have been working on this GPU miner for 3 weeks now. Provided you are working full time, which is considered to be, in the USA, 8 hours daily, you have been working with a wage of 51.1 USD/Hour, earning a current total of 75 BTC/8,588 USD. (Current Mt.Gox rate) https://blockchain.info/address/1FKfgFQeZCpjGDn7ocgj26nk4K2TNiVJyD


Daaaaamn.

I've been a developer and I've managed screeds of developers, so I'm talking from a position of some knowledge (although others on the forum will back this up as well). On a full-time basis, $50 an hour is a pretty standard rate for a mid-level developer in the US. If you're looking fora  freelance developer, expect to pay a premium ($65 an hour is a good mean). That's for relatively common stuff - Ruby on Rails, node.js, Python, PHP (Laravel, Yii), C++, C#. Go to something arcane - weird frameworks, unusual hardware, CUDA or OpenCL software - you're going to be paying $100+ an hour.

To be brutally honest, I think his estimate as to the length of time it would take to complete this was premature. That notwithstanding, the rate he is currently "earning" is below average for the task. Comparing it to minimum wage is laughable - that specialist developers earn a lot of money goes without saying.

How?  They are not offering anything for sale yet.  Their claim is that once they HAVE a product, then they will open sales.  No preorders.  If they don't produce a working copy, by their words, you'll have nothing to buy.

Any company with sufficient money to develop an scrypt-based ASIC from scratch can certainly afford a decent website that doesn't contain obvious spelling and grammatical errors, and doesn't use the incorrect acronym for their name (SAI in some places and SIA in others).
2263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [NUG] For sale: 950,000 Nuggets (~35% of all coins outstanding) on: August 13, 2013, 03:54:53 PM
Just for shits and giggle, I'll bid 0.31 BTC.

Because the highest bidder and second highest bidder and third highest bidder failed to complete the sale by the required deadlines, or chose option 3, you are now the winner, so:

Congrats, your bid of 0.31 BTC is the next, next, next highest bid, and you are the winner!

Here's how we will close this sale:

* option 1: You must send first.  To complete the sale please send 0.31 BTC to the address: 1JLrb6GQAZexrX3FdcMtLMRC7fiS88W7Jc.  Then PM me or post a message here with your Nuggets address.   Within 24 hours after the BTC transfer has 6 confirmations I will send the 950,000 NUG to your address.  

* option 2: If you do not want to send first, we must use an agreed upon escrow/middleman service, and you must pay all escrow fees.  Please PM me or post a message here with your suggested escrow service.

* option 3: You may have second thoughts and decline the sale.  In that case, the closing process will restart with the next highest bidder.

* You have 48 hours from now to complete the sale.  Deadline is 2013-08-15 15:30 UTC.  If you fail to complete the sale before the deadline then the closing process will restart with the next highest bidder.

Ahahaha ahha ahhahah. Awesome. I don't even have a working wallet, but hey, shits and giggles. Transaction ID: cde7574879bd51503950fa8c496bb5c4364d2ebf198270b6d6d037bd1706c1e2. I'll let you know when I've had a moment to throw the daemon on the server. Fun times:)
2264  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is AliExpress Legit? Anyone done business with them? on: August 08, 2013, 09:02:48 AM
AliExpress is like wholesale eBay. BUT...their resolution process is AWFUL. I had an order that didn't arrive, it took 6 MONTHS for them to resolve it. In the end I wrote off the $100, only for them to decide in my favour and refund me 3 months later. Rather use eBay, their resolution process is insanely fast and very fair (I say that as an occasional eBay seller).
2265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 07, 2013, 05:59:54 PM
This is the shittiest launch I've seen.

I still can't send any ANNs they take forever or fail

100,000 apologies  Embarrassed   Please try addnode=107.6.106.82 which should hopefully improve your results.

Also, if you're still struggling, here are some more:

addnode=10.0.0.3
addnode=192.168.1.1
addnode=192.168.1.73
addnode=127.0.0.1

You must have me mixed up with somebody else! I am currently at work on the 6th floor at the Apollo Group in Phoenix. My house unfortunately does not have a basement, not many do here in Arizona! Just a little personal information: I am 6 ft 175 Lbs and enjoy working out! Hopefully this info about me will give you more confidence in the person who you are donating too!

Donations appreciated! Thanks Smiley


Just a refresher, Please sent all donations to: 1CafRoU8Samr9f8aMdcq2XSMYxeq2bykCG

You must be new around here.
2267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin on: August 07, 2013, 01:05:02 PM
I'm not saying that it's a scam, I'm saying that it's a payment and not a donation. When you make a donation (say to the EFF: https://supporters.eff.org/donate) you aren't (or shouldn't be) expecting anything directly in return. In this case you are (early access to the miner), thus it's a payment.

But in either case, I'm sure that OP will eventually deliver.

Not sure I agree. You can donate to a software developer and in return he removes an unobtrusive nag screen from your licensed copy. It's called Donationware, and it has legitimate legal recognition as an extension to a software license. You're donating to receive X, but I think the assumption is that you accept the status-quo if you don't receive X. Kickstarter/Indiegogo's "rewards" tiers are an offshoot of this.
2268  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 07, 2013, 01:02:14 PM
Ok so I've abandoned the ANN GPU miner.

Instead I have setup a new company with 14 728 investors from Taiwan who are all computer scientists and electrical engineers. We will be building the first ASIC ANN Miner. Here are some pictures of our early work on the project (obviously not the final look and feel of the ANN ASIC) -







If you'd like to preorder then we only accept payment in Bitcoin because ANN is a shitty copy cat coin everyone has Bitcoin lying around and it's, uh, super popular and stuff. Each unit will do 76 731th/s, ANN only, and consumes only 0.418374E8 watts.
2269  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 07, 2013, 10:48:08 AM
Guys, is there a GPU miner yet? I'm only getting 0.2khash/s on my pentium 2  Sad

I'm writing an ANN GPU miner, but you have to pre-order it. It ships in Two Weekstm. If you'd like to get a copy Two Weekstm before the general public, please send 100 ANN to my address: aNAnaNNANanAAnanANNAnANanananANAnnan and send me the transaction ID.
2270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 07, 2013, 08:07:02 AM
Is this coin real?
Where I can download the client, I would like to test it out.

anntp://annhub.ann/ann/ann is the annhub source code address. It only compiles on Annix, there's no Anndows binaries.
2271  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 06, 2013, 09:41:08 PM
Block explorer: anntp://ann.ann2k.ann/

Pool: ANNPOOL is now open at anntp://annpool.ann
2272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [ANN]!!! on: August 06, 2013, 07:50:47 PM
This is just another shitcoin like all the other shitcoins. ANN will never go anywhere. Go Poopcoin!
2273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin on: August 05, 2013, 07:25:56 PM
Wasn't trying to come off that way, but from this thread it sounds like he has been given quite an amount of Bitcoin. At least alot to me! 100's of dollars, probably more. Depending on his situation, I would give this project some priority as well because of that.

ALOT.
2274  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [KGC] Services for Krugercoin on: August 05, 2013, 07:03:56 PM
You name a coin after a famous South African leader...and then the only store that supports it sells "jerky" and not biltong?

wat.
2275  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: <ANN> HoboNickels HBN Pos(superstake) zero premine .. live now! on: August 05, 2013, 06:54:54 PM
Follow up: when you untar the source you get the Github address in the .git

They also left git logs and other assorted crap in that tarball. HAVE FUN.


https://github.com/maxxine/HoboNickels

Edit: as has been pointed out previously in this thread, it looks like someone forgot to commit to that github. Seriously amateur.
2276  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: <ANN> HoboNickels HBN Pos(superstake) zero premine .. live now! on: August 05, 2013, 06:46:36 PM
No github?Huh How do you source control your project? And how do you expect us to keep updated if you roll out a new version? No, guy. Not impressed.
2277  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LTC and mtgox on: August 05, 2013, 05:50:36 AM

Higher than you said:

    "blocks" : 6570,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 9.87316742,

    "hashespersec" : 0,
    "networkhashps" : 841367682,
    "pooledtx" : 0,

You caught it just after retarget:) Here's what it was when 9 blocks before that:

root@mstat:~# growthcoind getmininginfo
{
    "blocks" : 6561,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,

You forget to mention Grwothcoin - GRW, after only 2-3 days of release, the network hashrate passed 1000 Mh/s, and hit 1500Mh/s at a time. I am wondering why this coin is sooo popular.

Yeah not sure what all the fuss is about; difficulty is already on 7.5, and there's 645mh/s on it. Nuts.
2280  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Today's news (IMO) August 04, 2013 on: August 04, 2013, 03:34:19 PM
Funny, I recall you posting yesterday you were going to ignore all coin launches...No one can resist a chance to plug your website though eh?
