Perhaps some should have dismissed the claims to clarify the situation yes, but the burden of proof is not on the accused! If I'm accused of something on any context, I expect it to be backed up with facts, not making the uphill effort to struggle against B.S. accusations.

So, back up your accusation with facts, and quote posts of WHO exactly agrees with extortion.

If you note, I didn't say that members of that group will definitely extort anyone, just that the actions they should have taken to dismiss the claims that someone there made. Personally, I think anyone would have to be really dumb to post criminal intent on a public board, and then actually commit the crime. I also mentioned twice in this thread that BCX has stated he won't accept money from any extortion.

But you do bring up one interesting point -- a person should be considered innocent until proven guilty, correct? The burden of proof is not on the accused... your own words.

Yet BCX is not heeding those words in regard to the AUR dev. He is assuming the accused (AUR dev) is guilty. Before any scam is committed. Before any wrongdoing is proven. It just looks fishy, so must be a scam.

Two wrongs don't make a right, which again, is why I didn't say BCX is taking any money. It's just hypocritical to say in one instance the burden of proof is not on the accused, and in the other to say a person is guilty, because they can't prove their innocence.
Damn I lost my previous reply! Just to say 2 things:

- People should be considered innocent until proven guilty, but cryptos are a trustless system, there shouldn't even be someone that can or cannot be accused in the first place. As I said before, this distribution should be algorithmic, not someone holding 50% premine.
- IPO's, scams, large premines, coin cloning for dumping at exchanges, instamines with loopsided block subsidy abound. It is in this context that we are talking about. Yes, the Aurora devs may be honest, but that is the exception. The fact that we still have to trust someone and cannot do anything against scammers is why is the scene is dying.

Edit: regarding extortion claims, you were unable to back up with facts. So if you brought up the hypocrisy argument, put you also a rest to the accusation

WTF, what extorsion "ring" in the first place?  Roll Eyes

It was just one newbie that came up with the extorsion post, and opportunists keep using it to falsely associate and throw mud at everyone.

The problem was the fact that almost nobody who organized that group or promoted it, dispelled the notion of extortion either. BCX did, which is why I said he stated he wouldn't accept any money. It doesn't mean we know who that newbie actually was, if he was a puppet, or whatever.

The way promoters of that thread should have acted was to dismiss the extortion claims outright.

So, back up your accusation with facts, and quote posts of WHO exactly agrees with extortion. The ones you can't, are not to be throw mud at. Perhaps you can claim "hidden agenda" or "you also made shitcoins in the past", etc... which you also would have to prove as fact or be relevant  to the discussion, but not extortion

These large "premines" should be algorithmically distributed. In other words, the Auroracoin protocol and wallet should have allowed an option to enter one's Icelandic ID and perhaps some 2nd key as challenge provided by national registry, and the network would generate a transaction akeen to (PoS) mining and allocate the 31.8 AUR. Not sure here...

Cryptos are a decentralized, trustless system, and here we still have to trust someone's word.

On a side note, I hope this isn't a "lab's rat experiment" and the end result is indeed the benefit of Icelanders. If a bunch of random foreign guys in internet forums and tech sites have this kind of power over people's finantial safety, and when it happens nobody is careful and only thinks how attack or OTOH how to profit from speculating on AUR or getting page views, then I'm starting to doubt the point of the "free from governments and central authorities" rhetoric
685  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Cgminer temp-cutoff trouble,help needed on: March 28, 2014, 07:15:25 PM
That's the proper behaviour as safety precaution

You should have for example --gpu-engine 500-1050 to allow thermal throttling, and maybe --auto-gpu --gpu-fan 60-90 --temp-overheat 78

Or use Cgwatcher to restart cgminer.

But if it reaches 85, you must really do something more to prevent it, like further undervolt or a large fan

I'm switching my power contract to pay per Kw/h at 0.17€ day/0.07€ night and weekend. Then I'll only mine on low cost period, except after good coin launches.

Then I suspect most don't optimize for power consumption, just prefer to max out hash rate. Why don't you undervolt your cards even down to 0.9V?

Jay_pal, ao pores um ASIC ao lado duma grafica, tu estás a ir na cantiga do vendedor.

Primeiro, quando vierem os KnC Titan, adeus Gridseeds. Vão render tanto como rendem os Block Erupters.

Com o Gridseed pagas 200€ à cabeça e na revenda vale zero. A grafica 750Ti custa 135€ e depois vendes por 70€ nos usados.

Custo do GS = 200€. Custo da grafica = 135 -70 = 65€. Agora vê se os 130€ que pagas extra do GS te compensa os 50W que poupas.

Qual é o custo da electricidade em Portugal? Em tarifa bi-horaria, penso que é 0.17€ dia / 0.07€ à noite e fim-de-semana

Quanto ao mais, ele ignorou o que eu disse sobre Maxcoin, Heavycoin, Vertcoin, etc... A grafica gasta 55W em scrypt mas so ~30W em Heavycoin. Em Heavycoin o Gridseed gasta 0 Watts. Porque não mina! Daqui nada vão me dizer que se calhar até compensa  Roll Eyes

Agora, eu não mando no dinheiro dos outros. Cada um avalia o custo beneficio por si proprio com espirito critico. Eu posso estar a dizer algo que não faz sentido para o teu caso, como lidar com vendas de material usado, falta de espaço, falta de paciencia para lidar com GPU's, etc...

Go to the BIOS and disable everything not needed for mining. Then look around for memory or address space related options and toggle them.

Just to make sure, use this miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0 and Catalyst 13.12

Read https://raw.github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/v3.7.2/SCRYPT-README and see if you overlooked something.

But I'm running out of ideas...

689  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help with 7790. on: March 28, 2014, 03:51:57 AM
How about
-I 10 -g 3 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 3584
or even
-I 10 -g 4 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 3584
?

I am using Vista 32bit.

It does not seem like a RAM issue, because as it is right now, cgminer only uses about 27 MB of RAM, and I trimmed down vista so there is over 512 MB free.
Yes, cgminer uses low amount of ram when working, but at startup either the videocard ram has to be visible, or scrypt requires a very high peak RAM usage, or lots of address space is required.

I really don't know which one of those, but I've read plenty of unconclusive discussions about system ram needed. I already mined with Windows 7 64 bit on 1 GB RAM and it worked. I suggest you upgrade or dual-boot with a 64 bit OS, Windows or Linux, and try again. Perhaps find a cheap used 1 or 2 GB RAM stick, I dunno.
691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help with 7790. on: March 28, 2014, 03:13:53 AM
I didn't notice your system has 1 GB RAM, which may interfere with high thread-concurrency. What OS are you using, version, and is it 32 bit?

You can always mine a coin with a different proof-of-work than scrypt.
692  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help with 7790. on: March 28, 2014, 02:55:05 AM
open a command prompt, (Run > CMD) and then run this:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Then it will work.
693  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help with 7790. on: March 28, 2014, 02:22:50 AM
Search here for your card and perhaps you will find some good settings https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

Try -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8000

You are delusional
Yeah, I edited out the "idiot" on the previous post, but that's precisely what you are.

If you and others dislike ~BCX~, I have a suggestion for you: STFU, don't reply to his topics, don't bump his threads and leave the guy talking to himself.

   “Without being too inflammatory, the user base for bitcoin is basically crazy libertarians who are increasingly poorly informed about currency systems and macroeconomics.

    I say ‘increasingly’ because at one time it was fairly well-informed libertarians but as the currency has become mainstream, it’s attracted more poorly-informed individuals and the conversation have become more polarized and less knowledge-based, driving the well-informed and balanced people away, or at least prompting them to recede into the background.”
Quote
“[Dogecoin] has all the features of bitcoin – technologically speaking – but frees itself from the libertarian culture of bitcoin that turns off so much of the mainstream.”

It's official, the "bitcoin culture" drives users to altcoins, which are the future.
Sure, but the guy is a fucktard...
Quote
Just like in the real world where if you’re a country looking to provide a new currency and you decide you hate Americans and don’t want to transact in dollars, you can just print your own currency
So, people create their own currencies because they hate Americans?

Edit: wait, nvm, I don't care. I should just go and read the Spanish or French or German spoken internet if I'm fed up of these cultural views...

So far, I've only seen part of the U.S. bitcoin community (some with libertarian views) wanting to bring down central banks, fiat and governments.

They have no authority to do so in foreign countries either. So, I'd replace that for "bringing down the Federal Reserve, the U.S. dollar and the U.S. government"

You noobs with your spam are 10x more detrimental to the altcoin scene than BCX ...

That's before I read above that BCX actually saved Litecoin, just by trolling!

Dogecoin Cons:

  • Higher concentration of kids and late crypto-miners
That's really not a con.

Ok, let's even assume Dogecoin is mostly for kids, teens and their moms. Why should this demographic be excluded from cryptocurrency, anyway?

And what's wrong with "late crypto-miners"?
