BFLs 65nm seriously consume more power per watt than an Avalon's 110nm?

if we bought RYC off someone that had nothing to do with said spreadsheet, should we post?

Best thing to do would be to get the miners stable on YaCoin using it as a TESTNET, until we have stable miners for both Linux and Windows and to see if someone doesn't just bring out a GPU miner anyway.

Once it looks a fairly safe bet as a new coin we can just fork his git and start all over again with a fair race to the finish line.

How does this ^^ sound?

With the interest his thread has generated there is obviously a gap for a well thought out CPU only coin. With enough interest and support I don't even mind managing the project with full disclosure to ALL before mining begins. I'm here because I believe in crypto currencies, not because I see a get rich quick scheme. Unlike many around here it seems.

I like the idea of everyone banding together on a CPU coin, everyone waiting with guns blazing at the starting line. 

You know how they "reset testnet"?  How does that work?  If you have a bunch of coins on there, and there are like 1000s of people connected, and they reset testnet.. do your coins just vanish?  That might be the key. 

So what we do is make it so that we have everyone ready and hashing away at a coin, let's say YaCoin, and let the difficulty build up to the appropriate level.  Then once it is at the satisfactory level, "reset" the coinbase, and then let the games begin.  Everyone is mining at the same time, at the appropriate difficulty, no bitching, no scam.

You know, with all these new altcoins not even trying to sound serious and so many people downloading binaries, it's only a matter of time before a trojan uses the greed of miners to siphon their wallets or divert their mining power elsewhere.

If:
  • it hasn't a git repository (preferably forked from a reputable coin) published weeks before the release so that developers can check the code for trojans
  • you aren't compiling from this validated source
don't come whining when you find that all your wallets are empty (in particular if you solomine and can't easily move the wallets out of reach) or that you mined for someone else.

Actually if I'm not mistaken Freicoin is already doing this kind of trick: a substantial amount of the reward in a block goes to a "foundation" or something, this didn't seem to bother people mining it, so the next step is probably close.

Its unfortunately true.  Everyone panicking to get the new binary the instant its created = everyone getting the virus at the same time = all your coins are stolen.

I see on the right side of the logo it's flat, would that be in the finished product? 
628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The YACoin Superfun Premine Thread on: May 09, 2013, 07:43:02 PM
can we, as a community, create a coin that we all AGREE is fair terms?  like right from the get-go, a solution that works for all of us?
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The YACoin Superfun Premine Thread on: May 09, 2013, 07:42:27 PM
they're all scams.
630  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Admins/Mod: Please create a sub-subforum! Idea/Proposal! on: May 09, 2013, 06:09:20 PM
I agree, a section for alt coin trading at the very least would eliminate a good portion of the threads. 
631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: More child boards... on: May 09, 2013, 05:26:06 PM
This board needs to be a complete mess.  That's the only way it will stay calm and peaceful like it is.  If you create a sub-board for Namecoin and Litecoin, then you'll have to create boards for Feathercoin, Junkcoin, might as well do Solidcoin, and the other 20 different coins that came out this month.  There would be no end.  A new coin every day = new board every day, not going to happen on bitcointalk.  On Bitcoin Trading I do exactly that: create subsections for all new altcoins, but even I have to admit.. It's a pain to have to add new sections every day.

I'm betting the author(s) will use different forum usernames to peddle off their coins...

Found a block with 100 coins....looks like all the premine bonus blocks are gone

Yeah, they were gone within 5 minutes.  Probably even sooner.

The thing that irks me is this:

Quote
In light of the fast difficulty retarget, early adopter special is offered:

EARLY ADOPTER?  That's insulting.  They could have made it 100 coins a block and it would have been early adopter rewards at low diff.. SCAMCOIN again.
