People mine LTC to sell them for BTC...

Hi, i bought a Battlefield 3 key yesterday.
Received it tomorrow and added to Origin, now it's downloading.
Brilliant service, i'll use it again

Is there anyone with 10 000 BTC in the first place? Given that there are only 7 million coins in the world.
They are worth only 30.000$, so it's very easy to have 10.000 btc even today (especially if you are an exchange or a shop)

With the reputation that IRC in general has gotten over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if any IRC-like communication is declared malicious...
They can declare what the fuck they want, it won't change the fact it is legit and we will use it

No.
Why? Chargeback scam
They send you money, you give them btc, they ask for chargeback, they keep the money AND the btc and you nothing.

I'm not sorry, he even insulted me ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Protip: if instead of finding ways to change my nick to insult me you applied that energy in looking for more info about your questions, you would have already found all the answers ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) But omg, that would be a clever thing to do...

Newbies should read faq and guides before opening threads...
They should. That doesn't mean they will. If they don't, do we simply exclude them from Bitcoin? Interest in BTC is dropping in the outside world... and what are we doing about it?! Are you seriously implying bitcoin will succeed or fail basing on what we do? If it's a good idea then people will use it even if everyone here start screaming "do not use it" And greyhawk is TOTALLY RIGHT

It's more than enough for me

You have to learn how your router work to open ports. Saying "i'm on mac" is totally useless in helping you do that. (but allow us to make some funny jokes)

It's winter, you want cold? Open a window. Also if we speak about rich people i expect they already have enough space for the hardware. Ok, 1 million is not enough but 10 are.
|
|

Oh well ok, 7 millions. It's still less than 10.
It's almost nothing for any rich guy or a government...

Time to explain some things
Supercomputers are rated in PFLOPS but that is just their computing speed. Now, Bitcoin network is composed by GPU. They have a VERY HIGH FLOPS (and integer and what else) speed but that apply ONLY for very parallelizable things that can use ALL the compute shaders of a GPU
Let's consider for example a scientific computing, one that require a lot of memory and big cache and that cannot be parallelized. On a GPU it would run at snail speed, being able to use only a handful of that thousands of compute shaders a GPU have. And it would be slowed even more by memory (and cache)problem. (that's why Litecoin sucks on GPU, because it require a bigger cache)
So supercomputers not only have PetaFLOPS but they also have processors with enough cache and memory to allow them to process scientific things at full speed.
That's why a cpu "sucks" on bitcoin when compared to a gpu... the cpu do not sucks, it's only that bitcoin can fully exploit all the compute shaders of a GPU.
So, for example now bitcoin have 106PetaFLOPS of power (at least, so say bitcoin watch).
If you put enough supercomputers together and have 106 petaflops or more, can you do a 51% attack? Yes. Is it a good idea to use supercomputers for such attack? NO! It's an epic waste of hardware and energy! Why? Because you can simply buy GPUs, spend like 1% or less and have the same computing power. Supercomputers are for things that have different requirements, that's why they have so much ram, memory and processors.
Can someone do a 51% attack without spending too much? Damn, YES! You only need like 1 million of $ or so to buy enough GPU to have 106PetaFLOPS.

I have a not unlocked 6950
I have it at 840mhz core and memory underclocked to 300mhz.
I use guiminer, with -v -w128. It do like 320mhash/s. If i add -f0 it stay at like 325 but computer is more sluggish.

I just told him that looking on wiki and other guides would give him much better answers than here. And our answers would simply be copy-paste of such guides.
