Fair enough. Thanks for the prompt response!

Will Mincoin be added down the track?

Noticed that there seems to be a steady upward trend in the price of Litecoins at the moment, but it seems to go down in correlation with DDOS attacks that affect Mostly Bitcoin related services. Given that it's only a few days until the end of the month and anything can happen to dramatically influence the exchange rate, where do you think the price will finish at?

As in, I copied the files from that link into the bin folder and tried running the cuda win32 file from there.

If you could build the latest one, that would be appreciated. I'm not as advanced in programming and IT as I used to be, given it's been a good few years since I last tinkered around with PCs. I'm used to just unzipping files into directories, then clicking on the appropriate executable file and away I go, like how cbuchner1's CUDAminer app works.

Agreed with the services aspect. This is why I tend to favour Mincoins and will possibly adopt Smallchange once it gets off the ground, due to the faster transaction and confirmation times, which are far more practical for a supermarket or petrol station where you can have quite a few people waiting in line who are in a hurry and don't want to be kept waiting any longer than they need to be. And trust me, having worked in retail in the past, this is important. I do not and will not support clones of coins without there being something like this taken into account. I mean, good luck to the Bytecoin and Feathercoin crowd, but I don't think they'll last long and sadly, believe they'll go the way of Terracoin.

Now all we need is for Satoshi Nakamoto to make a second coming and smite those with the mark of fiat ($$$).

Got a handful of Mincoins at the moment, will be interesting to see their comparative worth.

Hmm, might have to try and build one myself. Just tried using the last pre-built files and they didn't work.

Or more exchanges come online to give Mt.Gox a bit more competition.

Litecoins, followed by PPcoins and Mincoins

Could be the case that a few server farms that were mining Bitcoins have decided to switch to LTC, which could account for the large hash rates of a sole user. Considering there are a few that are listed on places like LTC Global and a couple of other security exchanges, it doesn't really surprise me if that's the case.

Just tried running rpcminer-mod-cuda in Windows 7 32-bit version and it throws up an error, stating that it's not compatible with the version of Window's I'm running. What am I doing wrong?

Fair enough, I'll have a look for it.

Give Apple a few years and they'll be in decline again, and more willing to compromise to stay in the game. Bitcoin could come in handy for Steam when Valve release the Steambox down the track to make buying content more secure (maybe through Ripple or a similar interface) and less at risk of identity fraud through obtaining credit card details, like what happened with Sony a couple of years back with their PSN network.

Am also looking to develop an app or two down the track as time allows, and will favour Android first over Apple, due to the greater ease and flexibility of being able to put something up on Google Play compared to the App Store.

I know this program is focused on scrypt mining, but could it be easily adapted to build a newer CUDAminer for sha256 coins? Just think such a program would be more suitable than CGminer for the nVidia people and would help sway me to get a nVidia card for my next build.

More morally-acceptable services (i.e. not Silk Road) accepting Bitcoins would go a long way. That, and more exchanges beyond Mt.Gox and BTC-e, especially those that cater more for non USD and Euro currencies like the Australian dollar would help as well and be less likely to fall victim to a DDOS attack.

Holding on to my BTC amounts for a few years at least, and planning to keep mine generating more via Pyramining, which will eventually go into an Armory-locked account. Got a few litecoins in cryptostocks generating more through dividends, purely due to there being no equivalent of Armory available for Litecoin.

Thanks in advance!

If you plan on mining Litecoins, might be worth checking out the CUDAminer thread in the alternative currencies forum. Getting 10.42kh/s for Litecoins on a GT220M over CGminers 5.9kh/s for sha256 coins. The guy developing it doesn't seem to have plans for a Bitcoin mining version, but can't see why it can't be adapted eventually by someone else to take advantage of the Kepler architecture.

A touch arrogant, don't you think? I'd say Bitecoins are more of a scam coin, being a 1:1 copy of Bitcoin with no other redeeming features and just waiting to be killed off by an ASIC attack.

That said, feel free to keep it off the list for now, will give me more time to mine more Mincoins before everyone else starts rushing in.
