Do yourself a favour: compile with NO ncurses and no libcurl! Those two are one hell of dependencies!
Note there's a bug in miner code: libcurl is said to be "optional" but it really isn't. I hope it has been fixed.

I am very concerned about this.
But seriously, I refuse to discard a coin just because it's botnet mined.
Other stuff... I will keep an eye on it. Something isn't quite fitting.

Funny to see somebody picking up on scammers... I still remember when I first heard of LTC, end of 2013. It was all about being asic resistant, distributed scrypt blahblahblah.

By January 2014 I started having serious doubts about what they were talking about.
At February 2014 I had collected several proofs all in the same direction.
At March 2014 if memory serves they were still on the "impossible asics" mindset...
When I stopped following LTC a couple of months ago the main site still claimed to be asic resistant...

As far as I'm concerned, LTC is no different from a scamcoin: thriving in misinformation. Only difference: it reached critical mass first.
LTC is unfortunately going to be around another while - erasing LTC from existence would likely be the best thing that could happen to Altcoins ecosystem.

I'm not sure how minerd reports new blocks but I've also observed that happening on sgminer and another little known miner. It seems p2pools just push work restarts like crazy. For CPU mining, that should result in little to no performance loss in terms of hashrate but I suspect it might be a problem for slow miners. I'm confident it was a problem for me.

Spiffy!

What about p2pools.org? What is that site? They would sure need to catch up!

"Only"

Also think about the sun raising every day. For the next few billion years! This clearly implies Bitcoin is not even half as cool as The Beatles!

And perhaps Lyra2

Terrible planning. You should have run your numbers before buying such a large quantity.
Your only hopes at this point are:

• keep on mining and hope the price will go up: I can tell there are some alts for which running costs are almost on the same order of magnitude as the produced coins;
• try super extra hard and get the (very likely to exist) elite kernels for the coin of your choice - good luck at that!

Given your initial investment, terminating mining operation just because of the running costs is basically nonsense. You have made your bet already.

You are an hero Mike.

What's up with the Axron BTW? I see it running Fresh but has MYR icon... is it auto-exchanging? I might give a go to FRESH.

Was it just me or the site was down yesterday? Good to see it back.

I would have voted overkillcoin but those faggots didn't release! They are clearly keeping all the coins for themselves making them fabulously rich!!!1!

Would that be sort-of-like running a p2pool node?

I'm fairly aware of what a meshed network is but I don't see the connection with the PoM thing.

Ok, so the clients can talk to each other by a network... so what?

Are you trying to incentivate deployment of those things? How?

Monero is scam?
I never got that idea at all.
Ok, it is scam because the wallet is clunky... what? Everything is clunky in BTC world I never ever ran a wallet until Electrum came out! Hours downloading a .dat... or synchronizing? WTF?

I honestly completely fall in for those "shills and bullshit", I have no perception of a problem and I still don't have one.

BBR... okay, why not.

Hello Defaced, would you elaborate on the proof of mesh thing?
Ok.. if the internet cannot be accessed... you mean the server node. If the internet cannot be contacted how is this this going to work?

I fully support all MYR algos but I'd say a CPU heavy algo must be there. Cryptonight, M7, Hefty, you name it.

But to be honest, I was really put down by the insane amount of JHA already mined.

I agree. I think education would have been necessary but it looks like everybody is happier with just making crowds happy.
This "be happy, be friendly be with us BECOME RICH" is what's hurting them all in my opinion.
There is at least one coin which would deserve more recognition but it's lost is a sea of apparent evolution.

Hello TiTori, if you plan to just run a program and forget it I'm afraid you're out of luck. It's a constantly moving landscape.
Anyway, if you want to try it out, maybe have a go with MyriadCoin or another multi-algo coin. This way at least you can try different things without making a gazillion wallets.

Unfortunately, the miners seems to have been taken away from 1995. They all spawn a black console window... I find it fairly invasive to workflow (if you plan to work on your computer). Moreover, mining consumes consistent amount of GPU so if you need it for your work your productivity will be impacted.

There's a new "fire and forget" miner for interactive users around but it's AMD only.

Shit I have a problem with my card as well.
In the end, I had to underclock it to 820 (stock 850) instead of running it 900... have a try.
