Gosh, I recall when I started mining ltc at dif. 2.  Then reaper was found to be used on LTC, it caught on a little, then cgminer came out, and dif. broke high. Well I'm still mining away, free power ftw. Although uni halls have terrible ventilation; I pay in room temperature. 25.2C -.- |

Too late mate. FC4 is already been premining for 5 days.
I'd better start developing FC5 then eh? |

Does this mean, they have chips ready for Single and Single SC integration onto the PCB (provided they fix the PCB bug they just mentioned) and finally, everyone can start rejoicing about "actual / probable" shipping timeframe?
Doubt it if the Single is 50% down on power, are they gonna ship two of those out to everyone to make up the hashrate lol? Seems like they're still prototyping. |

Hey guys, thought I'd get in on the action of the printing your own money thingy. Gonna make it a bit harder for you guys; the starting difficulty and coin reward are a secret mystery, as is the code.
I wont be posting binaries or source code. The coin launches NOW cause I've just turned my miners on.
There may be other people who already know too and have a couple of GPU farms ready. This is so that if general public (i.e. you) actually work out how to mine this coin then you'll only get orphan blocks, this takes some basic routing and mesh network setup on my end and makes sure that too many coins won't be given away to strangers.
Opinions?

BUT CAN I MAKE SOME MONEY OUT OF IT?

I need more info about Proof of P2P Storage.
The files wouldn't be stored in the chain, only a list of torrents essentially. Do you have any idea what you actually propose, if it is even possible and is there a way to practically implement it? |

We really need an update, and some news about LTC getting more merchant acceptance.. Seems everyone forgot about litecoin and is instead focused on pump and dumping the scamcoin of the day. What happened to all the litecoin projects that were in the works? I haven't seen a major announcement since Atlantis (is that even still around?)
Yep. I had heard many planned FTC services were being recoded for LTC. That happen at all? |
|
|
|
That's my offer and not one single penny more!  Heh, reminds me of the 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars and one cent that I bought off ebay with the profits from selling 10FTC on there. |

Primend scamcoin from hazard lol dont buy
Theres a major difference between pre and insta. This is just the same as FTC. I'm selling at 110 per LTC. Anyone? |

No, I don't believe it does actually help anonymity. And moreover, it creates a lot of hassle, forcing you to backup your wallet after every payment. The change address belongs to the same wallet as the money that you have just spent, so a next transaction you make, will likely connect back this "anonymous" change address with some public address from your wallet, anyway. The best and the cheapest way I know to launder coins is just sending them through Silk Road. Though of course, then you end up with a question: how much can a trust a guy who runs Silk Road?  Launder coins by sending them through the most illegal bitcoin service about? Great idea. |

it's calculated so you can't make roi
THIS I'm gonna wait for the open source/diy hobbyist ones to come out. |

Don't miss this historic low price  Your trolling is good trolling, proving how much of a rip FTC/CNC was. |

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but each of my 7970 is only doing 500 Kh/s
Settings:
CGMiner 3.1.1
Catalyst 13.4
Undervolted to 925mv on all cards
Power Limit % at 20
Core Clock: 925mhz
Memory Clock: 685mhz
Temps: ~62C
I know that Memory Clock does affect LTC Mining but it made no
difference at 1575mhz for me (well only 10 Kh/s difference) but gave a lot more heat.
CGMiner settings:
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://us.wemineltc.com:80 -u xxx.7970 -p xxx -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u xxx.pcs.7970s -p xxx --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --shaders 2048 --scrypt
Any help would be appreciated!
Theres your problem! You also need to have mem:core ratio of 0.72 or 0.57, different cards like different things. |

I am doing 1080 | 1500 with stock voltage on Sapphire 7970s and getting around 750kH/s on each of my 4 cards.
That about 0,72 ratio, but the 7970's has more shaders than my 7950's. Yeah I get highest hashrate at 0.7233333*r 1085/1500 Gigabyte WF 7970 718kH/s |

2-3 months for them to start thinking about making litecoin FPGA, then how long will it take for them to actually make a prototype? Soon as in BFL "soon"?
I don't know, probably not very long. They don't need to make a prototype, they already build FPGA modules and have lots of FPGA products. Nothing would need to be custom built for LTC, they would simply program it. it is not "just needs to be programmed". Scrypt FPGA are physically different from sha FPGAs (or else you wouldn't even need enterpoint, just a programmer). Actually, crazy rabbit is correct you could use the same hardware, just needs to be programmed. Several people have already produced some, but the hash rates achieved don't match a single GPU card. But they build stuff like this already:   Yes that is 100 FPGA's on one board. Im pretty confident in them! As for the custom board thing. It probably would due to RAM interfacing, although one of their prototyping boards is probably ideal for this. |

I would hope that they are not a scam to be honest.
We need as many of these initiatives as possible.
Sorry I call scam. Sounds like they've been keeping up with BFL, noted some buzz words then made up a very tenuous story that you'd be a fool to believe! Luckily I spoke to some friends I was at University with about the ASIC chips and one stepped
forward and agreed to gamble with me trying to bring a product to the market place, I was never very good with hardware but my software skills are not too bad at all.
In late September 2012, myself and my friend Chris (Hardware Geek) where sitting looking at a huge stack of ASIC chips thinking “What have we done”. Chris had moved into my flat with me by this point and we where working on the ASIC project full time.
December 2012 We where still stuck, diffused layers,wafers,power issue’s,heat issue’s the list was
endless.I know much more about hardware than I ever thought possible.At this time we managed to get 4 chips working doing 200 Mhash for 3 hours before it burned out.
These problems became smaller and smaller as the months went by.
In March 2013,Chris sold his car so we could buy food.Funding was at an all time low , We had many bill’s and debts it seemed like the end of the project completely.However at this point we had 8 chips working at 100M/hash each.I wanted to take our 800M/hash miner to the market place but with a top end GPU or FPGA unit 800M/hash was nothing special.
Late March 2013 , Chris quit the project and got a job working delivering the mail.I was out of money and was not speaking to Chris at this point .The strain of the project really tested our friendship.
April 3rd , Finally some success We had almost had it right for months , We made 4 of the 800M/hash boards and eventually managed to get them all working properly together, after running the miner for 20 days non stop. We deiced to start ordering more parts.
The 3.1 – 3.3 G/hash ASIC miner was born. Would you trust "Terry, Jason, Chris and Myself" http://www.asic-technologies.com/our-staff/ |

Not sure about that oil thing. I have read that you easily get hotspots either because of trapped air or because of fluid dynamics where the fluid moves slower the closer it is to the object and this effect easily creates spots where the oil does not move fast enough.
I have no exp wit watercooling myself, but would think that a design where a thick copper-plate is milled with a cnc is the best option. -That is if the copper does not corrode. If so I think a design where copper "bullions" is pushed into an aluminum block. -Then the aluminum block is carved with cnc so that the bullions are as close to the water as possible without having contact. This may create it's own problems if the two metals expands/extracts at different rates. But I have seen many heatsinks in this fashion, so it must be possible.
To me it seems like the part of the block that will have water going tough, should have the intake at an angle and rounded corners so that the water whirls around inside. i also think that a wave-pattern might be best to get the most surface with the least resistance. (Waves that go along the expected waterflow.) Not sure how that will work to get an even distribution of the waterflow at such a large and rectangular surface though.
Mixing metals in a watercooling setup is a big nono in PC circles as it causes breakdowns of the waterblock elements, you wanna stick to a single metal really. xtreme systems have a lot of threads and year of experience on custom coolers you may want to stick your head in over there. |

How come user registered two months ago receives promo hardware ?
To get more people to order ofc. |
|
|
|
What I don't understand it in the past month, the standard shipping price on a 5GH/s miner has risen from $38 to $88 that's 50 bucks more for what?
It is for R&D lol I thought it was to pay for all those refunds people were requesting. I made an order the night before the HW price went up and couldn't find out how to pay. So so glad! |
