Cryptsy decided to start polluting its JSON with HTML...workaround applied. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.
You might want to look at the new Cryptsy API which has the ability to get the orderbook. I switched to it. Cryptsy finally has an API? I'll need to look into that. |

For Linux, there is no 32 bit binary so he'd have to build it himself (and this begs the question why anyone would use a 32bit linux on any normal desktop, if that's what he is doing ... but he may not be)
1) hardware doesn't support it (not that I run cgminer on it, but the Core Solo in my notebook only supports x86) 2) x86 is more suitable for memory-constrained systems than amd64 (x32 is supposed to provide most of the advantages of amd64 with the smaller memory footprint of x86, but I haven't tried it yet)...my VPS is x86 for this reason |

Nice! Thanks for your efforts.... <cut>
You are allowed to not quote everything again here... You didn't even mention that he had top-posted. Then again, top-posting and not trimming quotes seem to go together like gonorrhea and crabs.  |

>BKKCoins clearly stated it will be open source and has done so a number of times on his own schedule and not before he has tested the design out.
Open source usually means you make all the files in a project open for public viewing, in this case BkkCoins is keeping much of the project to himself and he's asking for licensing fees... Anyhow, if he's not releasing designs until it is "tested", that could be months from now.
There's not much sense in releasing something if you don't know yet if it'll work. With software, it's no big deal if it doesn't work. With hardware, though? If he put out some half-baked board-layout files and some nimrod then generated gerbers and had boards made, how long do you suppose it'd be before a flamewar erupted as a result of the wasted effort? With my own stuff, I only tend to push working, tested versions to GitHub (or whatever), not every little change. |

I might do a command-line version next; that would be useful for a coin-hopping script (for instance).
...and it's done. A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links. One way you can use the CLI is to get a list of coin profitability percentages (needs bash and bc; Cygwin provides these on Windows): btc_profit=$(profit.exe); for i in $(profit.exe -l); do echo -n $i": "; echo scale=2\; 100 \* $(profit.exe -bc $i) / $btc_profit | bc | tr -d "\n"; echo "%"; done
It'll produce output something like this: bitcoin: 100.00%
litecoin: 96.80%
worldcoin: 118.01%

JSON.NET is no longer used. As a result, CoinProfitability runs like a champ under Linux. I might do a command-line version next; that would be useful for a coin-hopping script (for instance). A new binary zipball is up on Dropbox; updated source is on GitHub. See the OP for links.

...and a new release is available, now with support for Cryptsy as well as Bter for exchange-rate lookup.

Would it be cool if we had HAM operators runing automated SPV bitcoin nodes that broadcast in loop every last N blocks. Could be done with speech synthesis and AFAIK it does not violate HAM license since the broadcast data is in fact public. IANAHam, but aren't there data modes that could potentially be used to transmit regular Bitcoin traffic? The Internet as we know it could be obliterated, but Bitcoin could keep running over long-distance radio links. "You can't stop the signal, Mal. Everything goes somewhere, and I go everywhere." |

Mr. salfter, Where is your key that you used to sign this? I went to your website and this is the key I found: Key-ID: 586535F7
Fingerprint: 605237D2007C0B2F6C12D171DFF771D8586535F7 Hmm...I need to fix that. :-| Look next to this post for the key I'm using now (begins with 9, not 5). You should be able to pull it from any keyserver. Edited after posting: The correct key ID is 92C7689C. Edited again: my website is fixed. My current key is now at http://alfter.us/files/salfter.asc. |

Any plans for API support?
Try the current release that I just uploaded. I should probably come up with a configuration editor instead of having to use regedit, but it's still fairly straightforward. |

YAC should only be there if it has a separate expected hashrate. I remember seeing it briefly on CoinChoose and it sure looked profitable!
When I checked yesterday, it was about 3x more profitable than Bitcoin for my VPS. |

Just put an order in for more chips...between this and raginazn's first batch, that brings me up to 20 total. Will be interesting to see which arrives first: these chips or my Jalapeños (or whatever BFL is calling them these days).

Mr. salfter and Mr. scintill, if you upload your windows binary, and sign it (or SHA256sum it), I will download it. I'll also be sure to scan it (or run it sandboxed.)
I've only got the Linux binaries I built for testing, which is a good point I should have said earlier: I've only tested on Linux. It should work on Windows though. I'll see if I can build for Windows, but it may take awhile. Very much appreciated by all the windows noobs like me. I will wait patiently for it. I've been wanting to get a new compressed vanity address. I've built my CPU vanitygen under Cygwin and included the necessary DLLs here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57535575/vanitygen-win32-bin.zipPGP-signed MD5 and SHA1 sums are here (use the key in my profile to verify): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57535575/vanitygen-win32-bin.zip.sums-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

If you already have Cygwin, all you need is vanitygen.exe. If you don't, unpack everything to the empty directory of your choice. I've tested this package on a clean WinXP SP3 VM that didn't have Cygwin installed on it already, so it should work anywhere. |

From the article: Bitcoin exchanges will now likely be required to have money transmitter licenses in all 48 states to operate across the country
Umm...is it 2013, or is it still 1957 wherever this was written? It is because the federal govt only has control over interstate commerce not intrastate commerce, it is buried somewhere in constitution Last time I checked, there were 50 states, not 48. 1957 was the last year we had 48 states; Alaska and Hawaii were admitted in 1958. |

One thing I read about elsewhere, but hasn't been mentioned here AFAIK, is that they'll use their Amazon Prime account to get you 2-day shipping. For those of us who don't have Amazon Prime, BitSpend's $2 fee sounds like a better deal for 2-day shipping than you'd get buying directly. I might need to give them a shot for my next order, even if it's with bitcoin purchased for that purpose. (I've been buying bitcoin for purchases from Amagi Metals, so that's nothing new.) |

Hahaha - Bitburner :-)
Only problem will be the logo I think as German`s "Abmahnsystem" is really a pain. Couldn`t imagine that this law would be possible in Austria (next to Germany :-) ).
I knocked it together in a couple of minutes as a joke. The blatant ripoff of an established trademark would be a Bad Thing. Someone with more skills than I have in such matters would need to create a logo from scratch. |

Any plans for API support?
If you mean automated retrieval of some of the needed stats, it isn't something I had planned on...but it would be nice. Edit: Recent releases have this capability. Configurations for some of the coins I've mined lately are included. Adding others is fairly straightforward. |

Nice work  FYI, I don't have Yacoin since you can't use a GPU to mine it... I'm pretty sure that was the whole point behind Yacoin. FWIW, I have it mining on my VPS (8 cores, Xeon E5-2670, Gentoo Linux x86) and one of my computers at home (4 cores, Core 2 Quad Q6600, Gentoo Linux AMD64). The VPS delivers about 28 kH/s; the other box does 40. At current rates, it's a little bit better than Litecoin mining, which means I should probably take it off my home machine (for which I'm paying for power) and leave it on the VPS. 28 kH/s at current difficulty yields about 3.3 YAC per day...or about BTC0.00142...or about $0.17. The way I look at it, it'll knock about $5 per month off of the cost of having the VPS. It's running at lowest priority, so it doesn't interfere with the VPS's primary task. It could take some usability improvements...
...which are now in place: https://github.com/salfter/CoinProfitability/commit/d0b3b9bf31f98de1d95b54034e665da717dfc01aThe binary available for download in the OP has been updated as well. |
