go MΣC GO!

Every coin has it's place in the grand scheme of things. It may be that some alt-coins have fallen by the wayside either from intentional gutting, unsound initial premise or just as a result of the explosion of Bitcoin's value. Whatever the reason, they existed, we tried them and in some cases we got burned. At the end of the day we are sitting right on the edge of a new frontier and whilst I have chosen to invest in some coins that retrospectively I wish I had not it's all part of the journey, and frankly I'm just glad I am along for the ride

As do I, it has a use other than than just a bitcoin grow box at this point

I believe a good long term bet is MegaCoin, sort term however... CGB is about to climb.

Yea - it certainly has potential given its rarity - we are eagerly waiting for news from the devs regarding new projects 

~1,000,000

I doubt they are actually that motivated by the number of forum posts - more market cap and potential for growth

Fantastic - what a neat/clean interface! Excellent work sir!

Good luck - let us know how it turns out 

heh no - definitely not


indeed, you will get no argument from me on that! - I went through the full seven stages when both my cards broke after the FW update

Denial - "naa its not broken, its just err.. sleeping"
Anger - "Damn e-bay tat, never worked in the first place! REFUND WARPATH"
Bargaining - "If you boot now I will never firmware you again - promise"
Guilt - "...should never have spent all this money, tins of beans for tea for the next month..."
Depression - "I give up - its broken and there is NOTHING I can do to fix it, I wonder how much copper water-blocks are going for..."
Acceptance and Hope - "ok then. What if I try something crazy, (...3 hours later...) OH **** ITS WORKING! woohoo!"

The process almost led me to me believe that the cards had become stuck and needed to be re-initialized via the driver re-install, but I doubt that's how they actually work...

I have had exactly the same issue with my 2 5970s after a seemingly successful FW flash - The only thing that got me back up and running was to install yet another card (I used an Asus HD 5450 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express) and use that card to drive the monitor on its own. Then by adding the 5970s back one at a time (under Windows) full driver un-install and re-install for each card I eventually ended up with both cards working fine and was able to remove the 5450.

There may have been a few steps in that sequence that were not required, however it fixed the issue you are describing - and has worked ever since.

Hope that's useful

ExtremeCoin has been stuck on block 17,051 for ages now - what gives?

Ridiculous  - the second I report it it updates! question rescinded...

So not long now until the block reward for ExtremeCoin drops from two hundred to one, the difficulty has been bouncing more than the matress springs in a honeymoon suit and the price has risen a bit to ~0.000015.

The coin does not yet have a healthy list of services and or places to spend it however with the impending block reward apocolapse it will be interesting to see what happens to the price.

Any thoughts, speculations or insider knowledge anyone cares to share? Is it worth grabbing a few of the remaining blocks on the off chance the price might jump or would this be just hashing in the wind?

Actually found a far better way to do it directly from Linux script using curl:


The output is then piped to jq (a json parser) and the difficulty values extracted ^_^

Hope someone else finds that useful

Thanks all for your feedback, I got Java to parse the JSON from CoinChoose in the end 

Cheers for the suggestions!

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a quick way to allow a Linux script to get hold of the current network difficulty from a LiteCoin wallet - I have
looked at RPC calls et al but have as of yet not found a (semi-simple) solution.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks

A little shock this morning when I checked CoinWars:



It was unfortunately an error - but hopefully a taste of things to come!
