I'm CPU mining litecoins

mods -- is there a policy regarding questions specific to individual alternate cryptocurrencies?  this bitcoin mining forum is getting a lot of unrelated posts like this.

Oh whatever.  Then move it.  It's in mining, and it's about probabilities which is very relevant to Bitcoin mining.

If you can't see the connection that's not my problem.  Or move it.  See if I care.

I do!. I've been doing some trading on BTC-e (although recent changes are giving me some pause), as well many other exchanges. Dwolla is my USD source account, and BitInstant as needed.  Have been studying/collecting data on the top USD exchanges for a while now. Willing to share.  Curious and primed.

I'm CPU mining litecoins at miningpool.com.

Some dude, a "MrDanny," isn't even ranked among the top 30 in hashing power.  Currently, #30 is getting 4 k/hash.

And yet, MrDanny managed to find 2 consecutive blocks within 58 seconds of each other.  

Number of shares between the 2 blocks?  ZERO.

Joint, what you say is likely accurate. As for conflict, there is no real conflict. I am content and happy despite any pain I endure. I accept reality as-is -- even Matthew. I actually enjoy Matthew a lot.

I have a feeling my anxiety is just a side effect of my existential mindset. Unlimited choice will lead to stress.

Click on my profile, click on my list of posts, and take a peak at my first few posts in the newbie section.

I think you'll find my posting habits oddly familiar..

If you like chaos, you will notice it all over the place, including within yourself.

Think about what you just said.

Hm, let me try to find your objective here. You want me to desire an alternative here. It seems you want me to desire, period.

I don't desire, joint. I accept and act as I will.

Do you feel ordered inside or chaotic inside?  That's what I'm getting at.

Chaotic is a good term. Anxiety is the most accurate. It's how I've always been.

Let me take a stab at this.

Premise 1)  You like chaos
Premise 2)  You feel chaotic/anxious
Premise 3)  People seem to like that with which they are familiar, or that which they can identify with.

In contrast, I think most people like order.  They like the feeling of control and security that comes with the sense that there is order in their lives.  If you are wondering why Matthew and others "attack" you, I suggest you try to step outside of yourself and view your posts as much as possible from an unbiased perspective.

There's no question that you're intelligent inasmuch as you can toss around complex abstract models in your head and play fun games with them.  But, how intelligent is a person if they can't be happy?

To get to the point, I think you're familiar with chaos, so you project chaos, and so people are turned off by it because they can sense the chaotic side of you.  I also think that while you're familiar with chaos, you want order as evidenced by the sheer number of questions that you ask.  This thread is an example of that.  If I recall, you were "curious" to know Matthew's justification, and that it would be pleasing to you to receive an answer.  Seems like a self-conflict to me, i.e. asking questions that require ordered answers while conversely saying that you like chaos and confirming that you identify with chaos.

inadequate for what? I don't think you comprehend just how much power that is.

I'm not going to do this because I don't want to spend anymore money on hardware.

I found an announcement for a thumbdrive sized computer.  It has a 1. GHz ARM CPU, 1GB RAM, and hdmi port on one side and a usb port on the other from which it is powered.  It has wifi and bluetooth for internet, keyboard and mouse.  It can run Android, Ice Cream Sandwich or Ubuntu.  It cost $199.

Seems like a cool idea for a control computer for mining.  It's cheap and probably very low power.

Anyone willing to try it?

Emoto's experiment was repeated in a triple-blind study, and they did not get repeatable results.


What was the design of the triple-blind study?  I'd be curious to take a look at it.

Anyways, Joint, you're right. This guy has captured my interest.

Me too.  It's one of the most provocative things I've read in a long time.

Really?  To me, he seems to be playing with the meaning of words rather than the underlying concepts.  A lot of philosophers do this - it makes for a fantastic exercise in exploring what words mean but you actually never get to grips with which ideas matter.

Admittedly I stopped after the second paragraph - there is a time and place for obscurantism but I'm pretty sure that right now I prefer tea and biscuits.

He's actually taking a much different approach than simply playing with the meaning of words.  It's a dense read, but from what I gather he attempts to use language itself to create a tautological, circular TOE that reinforces itself linguistically every time it is either affirmed or denied.  As he notes that perception is inherently linguistic (as is the Universe, philosophy, philosophy's derivatives including mathematics and physics, etc.), perception itself becomes the model by which his theory is reinforced.  He purports that the Universe is a self-reifying theory and as such he is essentially creating a theory of theories.

I have never used Mt. Gox to this point except for a brief test where I had about 25 cents in there.  They ended up terminating my account and stealing the 25 cents -- at least that's what I assume as I can no longer log into my original account with a password that was over 20 random characters and symbols.  My linked email account has a similarly-complex password.

And, I plan to never, EVER use Mt. Gox after reading the dozens and dozens of horror stories on this forum.

My guess is that MtGox is simply comprised of a few greedy fucks who will not hire any more customer service reps because they want to keep their individual profits to a maximum.

DeathandTaxes hit the nail on the head.  Locking accounts and seizing funds is stealing, even if only temporarily.  In the event that Gox were to conclude that the deposited funds are stolen and thus permanently seize the funds, this is still stealing.
3080  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: After 21 million bitcoins have been mined... on: March 04, 2012, 05:06:05 AM
So you're saying transaction fees produce new blocks that we can mine? Also what are block rewards?

Whenever a Bitcoin transaction is made, it is broadcast to all nodes in the network.  All transactions since the previous block was solved are contained in the next block to be solved, and so all miners compete to be the first provide mathematical proof of work for the current block.

Let's say someone mines a block solo.  As we know, 50 BTC is generated with each solved block.  But let's say there was 1 transaction during that time containing a transaction fee of .005 BTC.  Then, that miner will receive 50.005 BTC.  Right now, the network is small and there are relatively few transactions, so the amount of transaction fees included in the block are small.

After all 21 million BTC have been generated, the 50 BTC will no longer be generated, but miners will still be rewarded with the transaction fees.  By this time, assuming that BTC is widely adopted, there will be many many times the number of transactions and thus the amount accumulate in transaction fees per block will be greatly increased.  It's possible that by this time, miners who solve a block solo will receive even more than 50 BTC, but they won't be new coins.  They will simply be existing coins that were included in the block in the form of transaction fees.
Thanks, finally an answer that makes sense.

No problem.  The same principle applies to Litecoins.  I've solved a few blocks mining Litecoins solo, and I've received varying amounts ranging from 50.0 LTC to 50.3 LTC.  There were no transaction fees contained in the 50 LTC block that I solved, but there were .3 LTC in transaction fees in the 50.3 LTC block that I solved.
