I would like to think SETI would be a good use of power but your probably right with it being more wasteful than helpful. If anything does exist It will probably be knocking on our door first. Actually pretty excited to see Curecoin come out which donates part of the hash power towards folding to help cure cancer if I am not mistaken. Just the idea of using all this power we are producing and sharing even just a percentage of it to something other than transactions is pretty wonderful to see. Although a piece of revenue would of course be the most helpful I would have a hard time imagining anyone in the bitcoin world to share their funds with anyone. Power maybe a little but funds highly doubt it..lol Thanks for entertaining this idea with me and thanks for the +1!! Yes may not of fully understood the mechanics to this thought but had good intentions and appreciate your comments..thanks!

Thanks David! Mobile site is working like a champ on my Android. We should be finding that block #6 any minute now!! Tick tock tick tock..

Actually yes! imaginary land was exactly where I was going with this and maybe we could keep a few extra miners on bitcoin just to keep transactions afloat As for asic just doing sha256 didnt think about that and yes would be an issue but still think we could crank thru a shit ton of pi numbers if we did
I guess in the end they at least gave 20% better than 0 even if they were being shady. If only I didnt skip out on that programming class I might be able to help make one that donates to animal shelters

yes but we can also be the solution

What if it was possible to switch the entire bitcoin or even all cryptocoins power to some other use for a day? Like switching a train to a different set of tracks. Where would you choose to switch it too? What kind of damage could be done? In the wrong hands could it be the end of the world? Personally I would love to see a SETI day happen once a year or even a folding day movement to help find any cure for the thousands of diseases that need our help. Just a thought.

oh wait! Bestcoin launched today as well..another new crappy coin..woot! :/ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=265505.0

and i am back..thanks for your patience! lets find some more blocks shall we and change this damn difficulty

and kablaaam!! dcwsco finds the last block so I guess you get to keep your 10 LTC then..hehehe  congrats man!

any minute now block #5 should be found...drum roll please

Now ideally can't Hypernova link the wallet address with username and ask them politely to return? Or at least return enough to cover everyone's wallets? Luckily only had .01 LTC so no big loss but feel for the people who took a hit

Just waiting to hopefully find this next LTC block on the LTC123.net pool for a hefty reward then will throw my 1,500 hash that way   Should be found sometime in the next 12 hours now..tick tock tick tock

At times I will have to restart the computer to see the 2nd GPU but that is usually when it crashes. I am using windows 7, with 13.6 catalyst beta 2 to get 770/khs on each 7970. I found that I eventually had to flash the BIOS on both cards to jump past 550. You may also want to try using -g 1  and definitely remove shaders as well as no need for lookup gap. Sometimes a 940/1275 clock ratio works well with 8192 TC. Also try 1040/1475 up to 1070 on the engine and then I finalized at 1100/1500 always using -I 13 to get 770. In the end though you may want to try a BIOS flash with another bios from the same GPU just different default clock speed. Probably one with a default of 1100/1500 would work and ideally a unlocked voltage would be nice.

Really excited to see this coin start to play out. One question which is probably a stupid one but would there be anyway to get feedback or data from the other end using the folding information? Not sure what type of data or statistics we would get but just a thought.

How about don't make the user deal with any .config file as most normal people will have no idea even how to see hidden files/folders(roaming).  If you need to deal with configs make it gui based in the wallet. The easier it is for the general public the more of the masses we can get involved.

will be jumping back in sometime in the next 24hours to help find those blocks with nicksmith who is hashing away! hang in there man

Great thread and links to where we can share out processing power. I am pretty sure if the entire Digital Coin community put our power into Seti for one day we most certainly we find aliens

ahh dang! my bad.. thanks for the link as I must of missed this thread. Will be sure to give some love and nice to see this in action

Just a random thought. As much as I hate bringing one more coin into the mix :/ How about creating one that will also help finding cure? For example : http://folding.stanford.edu
That would be one way to help gain some new mainstream acceptance into the world of digital coins and get a whole new swarm of people involved. Thoughts?

how about we all just vote on the 10 best coins and kill off the other 30ish..spreading ourselves to thin at this time probably isn't the best way to take over the world. One miners opinion

sweet! more pools and spread of cyb is needed
