IT seems there are people trying to make ASICs for scrypt. I came across an interesting question in one of these threads, and I can provide the answer. what if we DONT want an ASIC for scrypt?
In answer to this important question I will be starting the NAFSF. Any donations to this fund will be spent on things OTHER THAN CREATING AN ASIC FOR SCRYPT. Here is the fund address: LgoFdmpnFF9PBjtxqYckwJiS34kPf1R2TT By donating to the No ASIC For Scrypt Fund you can have that warm fuzzy feeling of having taken a specific action which will not ever lead to the creation of Scrypt ASIC. We won't even send you a T-Shirt or a hat that would give you away to other scrypt crypto-currency users who may want to see these ASICs developed. Remember folks, operators are standing by! Our Wallet Is Open TWENTY FOUR SEVEN to allow you to show your support whenever you feel the need. Again, that funding address is: LgoFdmpnFF9PBjtxqYckwJiS34kPf1R2TT Stand Up And Be Counted!

I doubt anyone here will take any significant action. There have been situations like this in the past... who remembers the pirateat40 (Trendon Shavers) scam? We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary as a matter of fact. He scammed the community for something like 500,000+ BTC. His name, address, phone, picture, and everything were posted here. Nothing happened to him... I think one guy called his dad, but that was the worst that this community was able to muster. He stole 500k BTC? Holy shit thats like 60,000,000. Why the hell didn't anyone do anything right now? did you hear about the time that guy paid $1m for a pizza with 10k bitcoins? Yeah but that's not stealing them. I understand the guy who sold the bitcoins could be pissed, but that was his own fault. I just don't understand why no one is going after this guy The guy who took the bitcoins is not the topic of this thread and it wasn't USD 60m when it happened at all was sort of my point. The guy this thread is about had a litecoin pool that failed, i think, and he just never paid any of the wallet to the miners. Sounds like about 3k LTC - Barely even enough money for me to go to him and chat over a cup of coffee. I wasn't part of pireateat40's scam or this guy's fail, either. I was just chuckling at how mention of old bitcoin stories always leads to someone doing the math at today's prices. If I recall the story pirateat40 did some reparations, and/or still is but I can't be bothered to forum search atm.

If it's on an exchange you can go in the chat and ask for a node someone will hook you up. Forum thread too. If there's not DNS seed nodes or IRC discovery and you can't get a connection you can either fork your own chain for fun, or do something better with your time. If you never connected (downloaded the genesis) I'm not sure if you can even do that.

The updated client is now on the first page. Important Changes: * CPU Fix * Port Changes - Now allowing litecoin users to play! i guess when you can catch up let me know if you perfer a pool or explorer it will go well with his other explorers I updated, fwiw I'll leave that page up for another 10 - 12 hours at least. How long does it take to set up abe for a new coin? not that long but was a little pain going to wait and see what the op tells me I think someone besides the dev was offering a bounty. I think it was the block explorer.

any bounty for blockexplorer? does this coin need pools. what is current diff?
That would be great Current Difficulty : 1.26769963 ok not for nothing but what one is needed i'll do one? Do you have a server online that can run a wallet(s) and some big databases? I suppose if your webhost lets you have huge databases you might pull it off but you have to have some infrastructure to constantly update it from the wallet.

I have a sort of block explorer script up on me MEC wallet. And I could damn sure use some donations. but I can't run it for long it's backend on my PC. I need access to a host where I can run more than a webserver (Wallet process, and at least a couple of 6-10gb databases). The I can do better stuff. It can't do account balances or track any of that since there's no database but those curious can look at the blocks: http://alljake.com/coinerd/inspector/testing.phpI did tell the client to index transactions, if you can see a transaction in a block but not the details I'd like to know that too. If you can't see it in the block it was in, you probably got orphaned at some point. Also I need beta users and some feedback on http://cryptank.com/if you try to use that block inspector please let me know. Oh: megacoin: MPMrWEKCRfq1n971RSS9mR8eHYz3CuhWPc BitCoin: 1KwN5hQMhqbX1bkoNqXcxTmzKWGtMF4K1B LiteCoin: LgoFdmpnFF9PBjtxqYckwJiS34kPf1R2TT If you want to tip in something else let me know I'll get you a wallet.

I'm not sure if I'm confused, or you are.
The coinbase is associated with an address, the block chain has to know who has the coins. It's only (a quirk) at the wallet end that you don't see any address.
Or you can, as p2pool does, write your own coinbase to include multiple addresses. There is more than one way to get the actual "Required" information from the server, and the miner can actually write the blocks how they like. I think you could even make it generate valid blocks for an address you don't own.
So, identifying the creator of the block by the wallet or address associated with the block is not, as far as I know, reasonable.
Besides, someone like you could just use a wallet for each machine, and instead of mining "your own pool" you will be "5 miners" or however many machines you have.
My BIG confusion here is that I don't understand how, after everyone goes off and mines, say 8 blocks, we all re-org back into a single block chain. Sounds like a dead block chain forking itself every time a new miner logs on - a sort of crypto-chicken with it's head cut off.

The owner has to want it there. It's a private service, after all. There's certainly no need for him to publish requirements or accept a coin he doesn't want even if half the world is mining it. If half the world was mining a coin, though, I'm sure he'd trade it...

--------------------------- realcoin-qt.exe - System Error --------------------------- The program can't start because mingwm10.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. --------------------------- OK ---------------------------
Just copy it from the directory of another altcoin-qt and it works fine.
