Another interesting coin, but you missed a trick not launching this BEFORE Xmas as you might have been able to exploit the holiday season. Now its over, this won't appeal as much i guess. Still, best of luck with it, I like the tree on the logo Smiley

This is a fail, people are just appending 'coin' to any old word now in the hope of getting rich.

Come spend your BlessCoins at our shop.. We accept BlessCoin.. lol

Any working US based mining pools? I keep getting too many rejected shares and above share errors in cgminer, I have HW=0. I'm wasting precious hash power and electricity for the past 6 hours when I was asleep.

Cheers for quoting the OP, I love scrolling..

I've tried both, and there is no difference in speed on the R9 280x Sapphires. Most people don't bother it seems, and neither do I.

To reserve an ASIC today you have to be a true believer in bitcoin continuous price rise and pay in FIAT (or at least buy BTC with FIAT and pay the ASIC)
I think it's better to buy coins today and speculate on the price rise.

I don't think hobbyist miners with CPUs/GPUs is the perfect solution to sustain bitcoin tho

I've got my GPUs mining other coins and I'm exchanging half for BTC. I'm not mining for BTC despite wanting to build a BTC rig years ago and never bothering (dur!) and considering the entry level cost now, I'm not too bothered. I truly believe that another coin or currency thats still to come will overtake BTCs marketcap. The concept has proven to work but it has many flaws, so its just a case of an innovative team to put together a real contender. If crypto is here to stay, then something serious is to come. Theres a lot money to be made.


I'm all for our home made rigs, and thought maybe an investment into the ASIC rigs would hit ROI and make some money since it seems that is the next wave of mining to be done. But by the time we can actually get them, they will never hit ROI and cost us money.

I don't know what to do.

I've got the money for one of these new scrypt machines and I'm in the same boat. Do I sign up without seeing real pictures and figures, and without knowing what the difficulty is going to be in 6 months? Or do I build another couple of GPU rigs now and mine all the new alts coming out atm, and still be left with some resalable equipment in-case it all goes to sht?

I'm going with the GPUs, the outlay and the increase in electricity costs can be offset later by mining all the new alts with low difficulty and selling some when it hits the exchanges. Theres a lot of opportunity right now. It might not be there in 6 months. Who knows whats going to happen with all these currencies? Some regulations could see a lot of them disappear, and laying out 10k for a couple of fancy machines seems a risk without knowing whats around the corner.

Two laws from me.

a. Everyone gets a speedboat.

b. 100mg fibre connections in all homes (to spend bitcoins).

This seems to be the norm regarding ASICs. The increase in difficulty by the time of delivery seems to make ROI pretty hard, not to mention that by the time V1 is shipped, V2 has been designed and rendered V1 yesterdays news. Not sure what the solution is apart from creating a core that fights ASICs, like Scrypt was supposed to be. But with 2 or 3 projects on the horizon even that looks like becoming more centralized. I'm all for home machines that we've built ourselves than these specialist machines with high prices and no resale value.

Well spotted ^^

Try this in your bat file OP.

cgminer.exe --scrypt -g 2 -w 256 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 6192 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune 1 -o http://eu.ltcrabbit.com:3333 -u flatm***.flatm***1 -p 7*2*

This part of your bat file is wrong:

--thread-concurrency=6192 --gpu-engine=1050 --gpu-memclock=1500 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune=1

Remove the = symbols and leave the spaces like so

--thread-concurrency 6192 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune 1

And you set the powertune setting twice, remove the last instance, its set above ^^

report back..
