Well, TBH Intel seems to be behind AMD on this one. I'll have to check when I get back about my JVM -- I think it's the 64 bit (the OS is for sure) but it may be the 32, which would explain some of the slowdown. It's about 3Khash/Thread with Minerd (the sse4 one).

It does correctly detect my quad core -- I'd just like to be able to limit it to at least 3 ( I like have 1 core free for other stuff) but I'd also like to simultaneously run 1 core comparisons. I seem to be getting around 5khash/sec on my i5 2400 (@ 3.8ghz), which I usually get about 12 with minerd (the optimized sse4 one).

Another 20% speed increase!  The Online Miner is now at about 66% of the optimized C minerd on my box.  It looks like JIT compilers can do wonders these days! ArtForz's minerd: 3.28 kH/s Online miner: 2.19 kH/s Is there a way to run the online miner with just a single thread for more concrete/side by side comparison? |

Awesome pooler -- I'm going to have to take a look at your code later. I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone else to get one working.
Yours definitely seems to be faster than mine, good work.

I've got my main rig pointing back at you.
Good to hear you're back up. My login was the same, and everything's working.

So the question is, if borrowing money is the more economically sound option, would that render a large corporation who refused or couldn't borrow money noncompetitive with those who did?
For some companies no amount of debt makes sense. Take Apple for example. Apple throws off so much free cashflow that the cash is piling up. There is no reason for them to borrow even a dollar long-term. But what if you can turn that $1 into more than a dollar? I think large corporations could easily exist without lending or borrowing, but I think it would severely hamper their ability to be productive. For example --I make widgets. Each day I produce 100 widgets, and sell them each for $1 profit. There's a new widgetMaker 5000 that would double my production rate, and it costs $1000 -- I could save up for 10 days and buy it then, or borrow money, buy it now, and pay it back in 6 or 7 days...which is the better decision? The answer to that, unfortunately depends on how much demand there is for widgets, whether or not a flood drives up the prices of my raw materials on day 2, etc. etc. I personally think the ability to borrow is a very, very good thing. |

You wouldn't happen to have a first edition copy of Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five would you?

I'm likely the person being talked about. I didn't find a JS implementation of sCrypt, but I did find a Java one -- since the methods are static you should be able to call it from JS. Couple that with JSMiner, and it shouldn't be too bad to get one working. Course, I say that and it's been about a week of work from me (in between classes and such) with nothing to show, although I do have a much deeper knowledge about the protocol/blockchains/etc. If you want to take a crack at it though, please do --
Do you have a link to the Java implementation handy? AFAIK the correct parameters to pass are 1024, 1, 1, 32 |

I think copyright law as it is now is ridiculous, but I also think everyone's going about "fighting the power" the wrong way. If their copyright is causing you problems, make something better, and release it under the public domain (or whatever license you prefer). Write a better book, code a better game, direct a better movie, and release them all with no copyright protection. "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Essentially: make copyright obsolete.

Man, you added more to the block bonus immediately after I found one. Just my luck...
Very well done job on the pool though.

Thanks for the response coblee. That seems to make a lot of sense. you can even have web-based games that generate coins while you play Speaking of that, are there any known implementations of a Javascript-based miner for litecoin? Not yet, but I know someone's working on a Java based one. Where can I see the specifics of what actually needs to be done to mine? If I had that, I might give a Javascript miner a shot. The specifics are all in the code. Here's the scrypt algorithm: https://github.com/coblee/litecoin/blob/master/src/scrypt.cThere may already be a javascript implementation of scrypt. If not, you will need to port that to javascript. I'm likely the person being talked about.

Works fine on the x64 systems I installed it to. I don't have any 32 bit systems though.

That article is fantastically ironic. Hopefully the inability to get their act together will teach them a little something about how things like the gov't work.

I've got evidence drinking milk gave me allergies. Maby of the world's chemists and doctors disagree with many of the dairy industry whores.
Human bodies are not meant to digest milk after the age of two. Proceed.
With the exception of ethnic groups who have evolved to produce lactase throughout their life? I'm a fan of the Fish/Veggies/Redmeat/Fruits/Other diet (in order of priority). |

Not entirely on topic, much like the last few pages, but I would like to hear a ranting reply. The bitcoin adventure has tested and forced me to reconsider many 'truths' I previously held.
Is it possible that a managed economy, when properly administered, perhaps automatically as M. Friedman suggested based on CPI targets, could help stabilize prices and growth? One of Keynes' tenets was that during a recession, the economy will contract in a feedback loop (people do not spend because they fear further contraction and that fear creates more cause to fear). Only a central 'spender of last resort' could revitalize or neutralize deflation, perhaps not to re-inflate the economy, but to prevent an undershoot. The monetary temptation has always been abused, but could a central authority in theory smooth out the economy?
I'd argue that yes, a centralized power CAN do that, using the USA from 1929 into the 50s as an example. WWII ended the depression -- massive central spending fueled factories, at least temporarily. Immediately after WWII though, it looked like we might lapse back -- it was only through continued infrastructure projects and the GI Bill that we pushed through, helped my our drive to be the "first on the block with a new x." Current "stimulus" is dumb -- central spending requires massive central projects (HUGE wars, redoing the interstates, etc). Side not: I'm hugely against Keynes, (more accurately people who think they're following his advice), but that's what I've gotten from studying that period. |

Well i've been there before.. Well good luck and i look forward to anyone who finishes one.
Yeah, this stuff is WAY over my head. May just start working on the game -- that stuff I have a better understanding of. |

Do you know how much energy fridges and coolers pull? It's one of the most price intensive posts in any restaurants list of costs.
While we're on the topic: How are you going to serve drinks? Especially things like wine or anything carbonated?
I know people have built bartending robots... Ever seen them in action? I did. Never went there again. Truthfully I've only seen videos -- first hand experience obviously outweighs that. |

I know people have built bartending robots... Rassah, this isn't a *terrible* idea, but I agree with taking it down a couple notches to a vending machine, or even food-truck. With sous-vede cooking you could like even do meat to order through the vending machine, and would sure beat the ones with crappy sandwiches. |

Any progress on that JavaScript Miner? =D
I think right now the answer is no. I'm trying to do something with it, but honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I haven't played with C in...years, and haven't touched JS at all. I almost exclusively use Java (fortunately JS and C are relatively close) but I can't even tell what I'm supposed to be using sCrypt on. Seems not to be much documentation, or I'm just missing it all / stupid. I did find a Java implementation of sCrypt I'm playing with now, but still just trying to wrap my head around it. |
