yeah.. what's more striking is that LTC market cap is now almost 1.1 million USD too

all hail our botnet overlords

litecoin hit 1.5 gh/s tonight, awwww yeah

It will die like tenebrix and fairbrix, there's a reason why litecoin was the scrypt chain that won.

^^ Stream cipher is salsa20, block cipher is 2x SHA256. Together they make up a scrypt core. The scrypt core is used for validating the blockchain. Transactions are ECDSA as with bitcoin.

More heat and look forward to ~10% extra on the electric bill.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Kinda off topic, but generally LTC miners suggest a GB of RAM for each videocard, right? I'm looking ti get more involved in the LTC market soon.

reaper requires as much memory allocated per card in the system memory, cgminer doesn't

see the guide in my sig

LTC uses about 40% more electricity for me and increases the cards 12C in temperature. YMMV.

Everyone is mining btc with those boards

There's been a million threads with why fpgas suck balls for litecoin mining (because the memory interface and the memory itself is way too slow)

Finally, bitcoin without all the supply side economic incentives

I really wouldn't celebrate... all the GPU btc mining escapees will blow your difficulty out of the water killing your mining profit margins. Difficulty is supposed to parallel price. Price does not go up just because miners are driving difficulty up.

While this is true, I think GPU miners have lost some faith in BTC because of ASIC delays and an ever rising difficulty (which may be related). In any case, it seems unlikely to me that enhanced adoption by miners will result in decreased prices.

10 minutes later and we're at 800 mh/s

jesus, it's exploding

eh, i always keep mining regardless of profitability. i have a lot of ltc so the stability of the network is key for me, which I contribute to.

currently we're at 740 mh/s, up almost 20% from a couple hours ago

coinotron just got another 40 or so mh/s

additionally my mining guide is getting tons of views

up we go

Just bubble wrap then?

Edit: cardboard is r4, so I guess I'll make a little cardboard tomb for it.

kk, I think I'll put it in a static protected bag and then wrap it in a bunch of bubble wrap, which is pretty insulating. Then I'll see how that works and if it can bring the temps back into the 20s.
