A shibe with a badly chosen nick. Should be "The Vet"

If you're still accepting testers, I would love to try it on a few 7950s. I do believe you said it may work on older cards.

I think what he means is that at $1 you will probably never ROI.

I still say it's pronounced doggy.

I think it's because people get sick of having religion imposed on them, and enjoy pushing their views instead. I've been an atheist most of my life, always left the bible beaters alone. But as I see more and more of their anti-science BS being pushed on all of us, I've got to admit I'm starting to enjoy pointing out the fact that their religion is nothing but a fairy tale, and not even a good one at that.

If you consider things carefully, you will quickly realize that ASICs do not make the network any more secure. Yes, it's quite true that they do allow the "good guys" to have a much higher hash rate by purchasing them. On the surface, this probably seems like it makes the network more secure. But there is a problem. The "bad guys" are able to purchase the same ASICs as the "good guys". They would be attacking with weapons of the same strength, security is not affected by whether we use ASICs, CPUs, or GPU's. Everybody has the ability to purchase the same devices, therefore the relative numbers don't really change, only the absolutes.

Let me give you a small analogy. You'll just formed a small country, and you have to defend it from intruders. No weapons have been invented yet, all you have to fight with is your fists, this is also the only weapon your enemy has. Okay, so now clubs get invented, you get all your people armed with clubs now so that your nation will be more secure. Here comes your enemy to invade, seems they've got some nice clubs too. Well, it seems like your security is not much better than it was before, doesn't it. Well, you just heard some encouraging news. Somebody is just invented a much more powerful weapon called a gun, get a few of these and those club wielding invaders won't have a chance. So you get yourself armed with these new guns, you feel very safe. Then the enemy invader show up again, they don't seem to have any clubs with them, what do you suppose they are carrying?

You understand the point of this little story? As long as the same technology is available to all sides, nobody gets an advantage. This is exactly how ASICs "improve" network security.

To some, ANYTHING related to DOGE is automatically evil. It's kinda like how a Klansman views a black man. 100% prejudice and 0% intelligence. Sadly the world of crypto is not entirely an enlightened one.

Bitcoin is good. Scrypt is good. Bitcoin scrypt is bullshit. Bitcoin does not use scrypt.

I've got no problem with alts in general (check the sig), but this just seems wrong. It's clearly trying to pass itself off as some kind of bitcoin 2.0, instead of the unrelated alt that it is.

Why?

The extremely rapid ramp is my biggest concern for DOGEs survival. Miners will leave with each halving, leaving DOGE open for a 51% attack. And there are plenty of haters to do the attack. Also I'm sure at least a few real scumbags out there who would do it for financial gain. The weak development(?) team doesn't really help.

Still I wish the dog much success. Nobody has created brilliance out of stupidity this well since Monty Python.


Ed

I'm waiting for MAX on gox, it'll be a good match

Ed

Maybe those people are getting paid to mine


Ed

So you know this is what DOGE did? Show us your evidence. Otherwise I'll just regard you the same way I regard 9/11 conspiracy types, as a headcase off your meds.

Seriously, why are DOGE haters such a rabid bunch.

Such insane. Much mental. Very need thorazine. Wow!

I'm happy he's here. He makes DOGE more fun


Ed

Wow, Spoetnik, you don't like DOGE? I'm shocked to learn this. Always thought you were a true fanboy

Seriously, DOGE is dead? Since when? Based on what measure of life? It's still being traded, still a little more profitable to mine than LTC, and way more profitable than BTC, where you'll never reach ROI on those damn ASICs.

Some of the points you make are true, no innovation, amateur developers, etc. But the way you foam at the mouth like a rabid dog(e?) makes it hard to take you seriously. Maybe you should relax and enjoy a few beers? Gonna try that myself


Ed

Well, Mr.V, I find it disturbing you advocate violence towards animals. I surely hope you have no kids...

Ed

For all the haters, the shibe is doing just fine.

Ed

Wow, you made the point much better than me. Very Talent. Such true.


Ed

Yes, good marketing to get noobs involved. And a cute mascot. And totally stupid phrases which for some reason I find entertaining.

True any coin could have done this, but they didn't. Introducing lots of new people to crypto is good, especially when it spreads outside the ubergeek community that most of us are in. I think the stupid part helps this. Average people understand cute dogs and stupid memes. They don't understand blockchains, sha-WTF, scrypt (for a movie?), etc. But they greatly outnumber the geeks.

Doge won't be accepted because it's stupid? You kidding? If it can be traded for fiat and many people are trying to spend it, businesses will start to accept it, as they are BTC. I'm not saying Doge will be #1, or that 1 Doge will even be worth a Satoshi in a year, just saying it's probably smart to stop laughing at it. The Doge just might bite you. And putting down the users is not good. You're showing them that people in the crypto community are elitist assholes that they don't want to associate with. Wrong. Make them feel welcome, our community will grow.

I'm off to pet the Doge...

The 600 with LTC is a totally different quantity. It's 600K vs 300M. 600K on scrypt is actually pretty poor for a 7950, with proper overclocking and the optimized kernal by Lantis I get 670-705, depending on how high I can clock each card.
