Haha, I'm also astonished that the first reply was not "ZOMG BRO, 8 AM UTC?"

You could also have gone with BitGems and BitDiamonds, since the BitBar page uses the same coloring/image as the bitcoin gold bar ponzi chain game, which was the first copycat of the Bitcoin Gem chain game. It's up for debate which is the bigger scam/ripoff/blatant copy.

Reference:
http://bitbar.biz/
http://bitcoingoldbar.com/

It makes me wonder how copyrights of such images work or if they are somehow open source / creative commons, or if the creators are the same guys.

usually I would be sure that this is a joke but regarding the last few days I can only make a futurama-fryface.

BTC-e would most likely not be the first to adopt it, and if others started out with none or very small fees, BTC-e would have to follow if they ever chose to adapt it, I guess

Let's make sure people get paid before looking into stratum Cheesy

Really makes me want to try to set up a pool next time. Did you use any tutorials besides https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.0   ?
725  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods?? on: May 03, 2013, 03:01:26 AM
I wonder how you succeeded in setting up the pool without lots of experience, while people said it's so difficult for this type of coin and no pools showed up for 6 hours Cheesy
726  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods?? on: May 03, 2013, 02:56:28 AM
Stales have been reduced dramatically now for me. Whatever you did was good, I guess. Should now be what's to be expected without stratum.
727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods?? on: May 03, 2013, 02:45:46 AM
probably an orphan? my stupid cards were useless solo mining, I doubt they would succeed in the first seconds after this was posted Cheesy

/Edit/ As said before, it would be great if you could keep the pool running. As much as I would like to help, I don't know much about this anyway and really have to sleep. I hope someone helpful will show up here shortly for you. Night!
728  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods?? on: May 03, 2013, 02:43:25 AM
Sadly I know nothing about that. Sad
stale rate is settling around 15% with cgminer and none of the parameters queue,s,expiry
729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need p2pool for BitBar. Any p2pool gods?? on: May 03, 2013, 02:36:31 AM
pointed my 3 7950s at you, around 50-75% stale rate from Germany Sad

/edit/ forgot to take out  -s 1 --expiry 1 --queue 0, now around ~25% stales.

cat out of the bag: are you sure you don't mean GB?
731  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mining bitbars on: May 03, 2013, 12:51:27 AM
True, I somehow expect prices to drop once somebody puts a pool together.
732  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mining bitbars on: May 03, 2013, 12:42:31 AM
So I'll get nothing with 800kh starting now, huh? Dammit..

If you can get even 1 block in a day, it'll be much better than mining BTC. 1 Bitbar are worth about 0.5 BTC right now.

however since bitbar is scrypt, while doing your calculations have to keep in mind that you are missing out on mining feathercoins which is pretty solid and profitable these days - instead of comparing it to mining BTC.

mining chinacoins seems like more of a gamble since either

a) lots of amazing stuff iis happening behind the stages on some chinese forum that somehow nobody from bitcointalk has posted yet (remember that ftc was backed by the community quite a lot)

or

b) it's actually true that the developer has fled the scene and nobody is giving a shit

Bitbar's value right now is still highly speculative but with such high variance while solo mining with 1 mh/s it is probably the safer choice to mine ftc for now. Also the less adventurous one.

How is it 'less adventurous' to mine feathercoin? A coin that was released 2 weeks ago, has increased in value 1000% in two days and has no practical usage (except to scam people out of bitcoin) or uniqueness at all. I don't get today's alt coin users.

All right, I agree that it is quite adventurous as well, just less adventurous than mining the coin that was released 6 hours ago and whose main announcement thread has turned into a flamewar, with skyrocketing difficulty and still no single pool.

this thread has been derailed quite a bit. I would like to point out that we are still missing a pool of any kind Sad

we have exchanges and they have exchanges. end of story.
736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin on: May 03, 2013, 12:00:27 AM
What's funny is that it uses the same image as the bitcoin gold bar chain ponzi game. That's the first thing that caught my eye when I opened this thread Cheesy
737  Other / Off-topic / Re: HOWTO: get up to 1 BTC for free on: May 02, 2013, 11:42:18 PM
I'd like ripple to succeed purely for the way germans would pronounce it.
738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin on: May 02, 2013, 11:33:58 PM
I think that's what's already happening, no need to pay anyone D:
739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin on: May 02, 2013, 11:03:57 PM
People will mine less, the difficulty will drop = reward increases.

The market will determine the equilibrium reward and price


where do you guys find the current difficulty? my client doesn't show anything.
740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin on: May 02, 2013, 10:49:09 PM
without an exchange, this will be impossible to spread around from the few hands that hold it right now.

stopped solo mining with 1600 kh/s. 2 hours ago I could still occasionally find a 0.3 block, 80 minutes of nothing since then: nope.
