Thank you for the help though i would appreciate a less tough tone.
Sorry was reflex. Didn't mean to be rough. Meant to say "Here is the relevant info in the manual" |

I have exchanged some ideas with pooler, the guy who created Bitcoin web miner few years ago, and he said JS web miner would be horrible or something like that. I understand it would be enormously more convenient to use JS than Java but I can't really decide which version to use without exact hashrate values. It is not like hashrate matters a lot but still it does matter because number of shares submitted in some period of time determine much more than just YAC earnings. Did I just revealed a bit too much about the project? Seems your ahem, "project" is same as anyone who would need a webminer.... i totally agree with what pooler said. I just wanna see how far along have the browser engines (and js) evolved in terms of performance, and this is a good example of something that would need CPU performance and is not tied to some specific domain that browsers would optimize specifically for. Id be really glad if i get > 20% perf of cpu miner in JS ... on a modern chrome installation. |

LOL. 1 day ago id have added to this cause... but broke now. Rising to 500 YAC now. Another bounty: 5,000 YAC to adjust one of the following two web miners for YAC mining and add some more stuff, must be done by someone who can prove to have great experience with Java. http://www.bitcoinplus.com/miner/embeddablehttps://www.litecoinpool.org/embedWeb miner will be used as a part of YAC-oriented project. The fact that web miners are not comparable to minerd when it comes to speed is of secondary or tertiary importance. Would you be interested in a JavaScript only miner? i.e. not using Java. Performance is gonna sux big time... (even compared to java web miner), but it would work across practically all browsers released within last couple of years(needs webworker support - http://caniuse.com/webworkers ).... I have an itch to scratch.... |

I remember this... i believe they created it this way so that they can add the heatsink on the other side of the pcb... but i wonder if it would hurt the asic when another heatsink would be directly on the chip. I mean cant this lead only to even more heat dissipation?
RTFM: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon#OthersAbout install extra heat-sinks on each avalon chip: please do not do that. there is a air gap between the die and package top, install a heatsink on chip is useless. and will cause overheating. because the top PCB copper act as a heatsink too. do not cover them. |

I'll sell mine for 2.5 if anyone really wants it.
lol shameless! haha I was gonna offer mine up for 3 BTC! Mine is premium and comes autographed by Arklan. Try my 8 BTC USB Erupter for the most exclusive experience! I think Arklan will autograph mine also... considering i include 1 BTC bribe for him. |

That doesn't tell me if the ASIC hardware does SHA256(SHA256(x)) or if it is SHA256(x) twice. Yes it does. You must have missed the part where it said "dhash(a) = sha256(sha256(a))" Okay let me rephrase my question, is it possible for the ASIC hardware to just do SHA256(x) instead of SHA256(SHA256(x))? AFAIK neither. You cant use the ASIC to compute SHA256(x) OR SHA256(SHA256(x)) . A lot of the logic is inside the chip. Basically it gets the data similar to bitcoin protocol, and runs a loop to find the right nonce. The chip itself wont return the generated hashes. Also, the accepted size of "x" would probably be only the exact size used in bitcoin protocol. So I think your quest to find alt purpose is in vain. |

Alright, this project is going to require a bit more time. The scope of this project has become bigger than I originally expected.
I am working now with a small team of IRL friends and based on the past week's progress, we expect to be ready within the next month but I do not want to set a deadline for fear of missing it again, I do not want to ruin this project entirely by continuously giving false deadlines.
If any experienced C++ programmers want to join our team we would happy to welcome you on board (no cut/paste programmers please).
We thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience (again).

It's 5:04pm GMT right now.
No, it's 18:04. I live in the UK. UK = GMT +1 (summer time) I think people should use UTC for times. GMT confuses people, especially people from UK who think they are at the center of the world. |

They should close Alternate cryptocurrencies section for good
Nice idea. That way we can move to the other sections of the forum to discuss new scamalt coins and reach more people.... |

OOPS!
Forgot i was supposed to go MIA for next cpl of weeks...

I love the concept. Also TurtleCoin. I like turtles.
I like you too  |

How much are you offering?  8 BTC for 1 piece where 1 BTC is bribe for arklan for managing the switch and 1 BTC for John k to handle escrow for the switch. Honestly not interested to sell at all... but since everything has its price...  |

Since theme of last 2 weeks have been orphans, I have an idea for an orphan friendly coin.
* 1 second between blocks
* 25 coins per block
* Retarget difficulty every 1024 blocks
* Will premine for 5 days. (Unrelated: Accepting bribes from people who want in)
* First 10,000 blocks get double reward.
* Genesis block has reward of 1000 coins. Because its special.
Real innovation aspect: This coin wont use scrypt or sha256 like others... It uses good ol trusty MD5 !
The client app will be name orphanage.
Launch date : 5 days before public release.
More coins on way.
* Turtle Coin (TTL) - one block per day.
* Troll Coin (TLC) - Orphaned blocks show up as immature for a random duration.
* Spam Coin (SPC) - Each block entitles you to be recipient of some rich nigerian dude's inherentence.
* Tortoise Coin (TSC) - Turtle coin fork with one block every 2 days.
* AltCoin Coin (ACC) - Each new block found launches an alt coin.
Edit: Added ACC

I Am lol can I buy one from you? I wish BFL were this smooth to work with:
1. Doesn't take orders until they are ready to ship.
2. Ship out the next day
3. Doesn't insult their customers
3.5 etc, etc.
You must be desperate if you are soliciting random people on the forum. No, I'm not selling. What gave you that impression? Well I can sell you 1 of mine... but i doubt ur desperate enough to pay the price i have in mind |

const char* pszTimestamp = "spon.de: Sonntag, 05.05.2013 \96 16:49 Uhr: N\E4chtlicher Raketenbeschuss: Syrien wertet Luftangriffe aus Israel als Kriegserkl\E4rung"; Genesis premined for 10 days? |

Thanks to whoever dumped 72k YAC bag on Bter recently and dropped price to 0.00035, got some cheap YAC there. Next time you dump huge bag try to make price drop to
or bellow 0.0003 so I can get more YAC for even cheaper.
Don't look at me. Wasnt me. |

Copycat.
To really "innovate" he should have forked from FC2!

I'm mostly with ya, but am pissed and disappointed that ~friedcat does not seem to be reliable and proficient as a counterpart. This seems off-base, given friedcat and ASICMINER's history to-date. They are the only Bitcoin company who are actively mining and shipping meaningful quantities of ASICs. In the three previous Blade auctions, the blades were shipped within a day or two of payment. Heck, one guy got his overnight. Don't get me wrong, everyone is anxious, a lot of us have been burned by BFL/bASIC/Avalon, and the golden rule is "Trust No One." That said, I don't see how anyone could look at ASICMINER's performance and call shenanigans. Thats not the problem. The problem with ASICMINER is that they haven't lied about ship dates and taken money... wait, what? Nevermind failed attempt at sarcasm. |
