If some entity did get control of 51% of the hash and took over the network maybe litecoin could replace bitcoin for a lot of people. Due to the fact LTC requires more memory so FPGA and ASIC would be a lot more expensive to build then everyone with a CPU running LTC.

I think LTC use and mining will take up especially after the BTC block halves and now with LTC GPU mining on all those Nvidia cards picking up interest.
I think there is a lot of potential with Litecoin's future. And I don't know about spamming, but I found the link relative to the post and useful. Not sure why there are so many flame wars in a blog like this. We're all trying to promote something we've been investing/interested in. Thanks I thought it was relevant to the OP too or I wouldn't have posted it. There is lots of trolling on this forum that's its major downside and a reason - http://bitcoin.org/ - doesn't link to the forum any more. Hopefully LTC will keep increasing in value and popularity as I like trading with bots maybe one day we can have a bot that trades just in crypto-currency pairs. LTC/USD seems to be holding but yeah looks like a massive dump on LTC/BTC. |

Spamming your link in every litecoin-related alt currencies post is not really helping your credibility dude, kind of reminds me of the solidcoin link spammers. Fixed that for you  I admit I'm pushing it but they have all been relevant to the OP  That doesn't change the fact that I, along with others, are now pissed off at your stupid advertisements and are less likely to visit it than we would be otherwise. Good job, cablepair & crew! While continuing to go off-topic I haven't broke any forum rules. Nobody said you did (although that is debatable) The point was: "That doesn't change the fact that I, along with others, are now pissed off at your stupid advertisements and are less likely to visit it than we would be otherwise." I won't be going. Anyone who resorts to spamming likely has no qualms about data mining, selling account information, etc. Continuing off topic as I feel obliged to state my postion as for data mining and selling account information that's why I use - https://diasp.eu - as my primary social network not Facebook, Twitter, GooglePlus or Linkedln but - http://www.coinconnect.org/ - for my bitcoin networking. |

These new boards will take about a year to pay off.....
I sure hope you have double checked your calculations on that one. Payoff on a rig box is well before the subsidy halves for me at least. At current difficulty I'm expecting over 15BTC a month for around £3 of electric. |

Well the board I chose is the cheapest in its class for warranty and power use for hash rate. Its nearest competitor is two of the new x6500 FPGAs boards and this board works out cheaper. I so much want a rig box and nearly convinced someone to lend me the money for a full rig box but they wouldn't do it in the end as the warranty was only six months and I had no other way to secure the loan.

So, the (illusive) BFL mini rig box sells for roughly 15k$, is supposed to have 25.1GH/s @ 1250W. Your (not yet public) company's product sells for roughly 10k$, is supposed to have 7.2GH/s @ 360W. That's 1.67MH/$ on BFL, 0.72MH/$ for your product. And 20MH/W on BFL, and the same 20MH/W on your product. @gigavps, sorry for the redundancy, wrote the message while you posted, but submitted it anyways... No the BFL is twice the wattage for the same hash rate. edit: I ment BFL BitForce Single Hi matthewh3, My rig boxes, ehm, mini rig boxes should be here in that time frame. As for this new fpga tech you speak about, it makes pretty much no sense to put up twice the amount of money for half the electricity usage. There comes a point when gains in electricial usage no longer make sense. This is pretty much moving from GPU (2-3Mh/w) to singles or mini rigs (10-20Mh/w). Anything over this doesn't save me enough money to put up TWICE the purchase price no matter how long I have to wait. But alas, we are both comparing vaporware. Well, except the mini rig box is reusing already proven tech. Best, gigavps Yeah but what if you rig-box starts smoking in seven months time These new boards will take about a year to pay off I think and if there warranty is two years (I know its at least a year) then all the second year is profit. That's a lot of money to risk on a six months warranty but they do say "Who dares wins" |

There is a new company coming out and with that kind of money you'd get 6.4GH/s@320W with change as well from your $10,000.
edit: or 7.2GH/s@360W for just a little bit over $10,000.
These prices make almost no sense no matter how little wattage they use. Best value for the money is the mini rig box at $15k for 25Gh. Are they shipping within three weeks? This is ~800MH/s@40W per FPGA board at $1129 per board plus $20 US shipping and about $70 European shipping (plus my 1BTC per board commission) shipped within three weeks. Icarus is ~400MH/s@20W for $569. I could get those now, and probably at $469 ea https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=73773.msg816986#msg816986. Is that what your new company is doing? @gigavps any idea on when a rig box would show up at my door? I'd buy one if I would have it within 8 weeks. Yes, it sounds very much like the Icarus, the thought crossed my mind. Unfortunately, the mini rig-box has a supposed 12 weeks lead time (and we don't know the real time yet). But even with that lead time, do we know if the unknown company will hold their fast shipping time, given that BFL nominally promises 4-6 weeks for their single. I first ordered a BFL-Single but my investors (Red Star Mining) and I got feed up of waiting so switched to my new supplier. It was a little more expansive but better longer warranty and a lot faster lead time as I'm expecting it to be delivered by next week. First batch are all reserved thw second batch will be shipping within three weeks. Thinking of ordering my second as I can't wait that long for BFL |

I'd like the rig-box for that kind of money being one unit but when is it going to be shipped and if it has the same six month warranty that's a big risk on your investment. The boards I'm on about have a minimum of twelve months warranty not sure would have to clear that up. Don't think the Icarus has any warranty |

Link? They are going public within the next week there warranty will also be at least twice that of the BFL. And if their lead times are just as awful as BFLs, we might expect to receive their products in >3 months (optimistically). My board is guaranteed to be shipped within the next nine days. If your willing to go out on a limb I could get you a pre-order (for a vsmall commission) on the second batch which should be shipped within three weeks. |
