It's been a while since I saw the last Cryptsy problems thread... 50 confirmations now, this sucks massively...

1) Yes: VEL, Q2C and DOGE besides others 2) 2012 3) Yes  4) No, I like to mine coins with new features/algos and am more the bagholder type.  5) Obviously B, if it's done well. 6) Probably not. IPO = scam in my experience  7) More likely 8 ) We need more fresh algos and new wallet designs (skins). I'd love some Curve25519 http://cr.yp.to/ecdh.html . Built-in Escrow would be great too. 9) Reading this question after my short answer made me laugh. Perhaps, perhaps not. Since my coding skills are very underdeveloped I doubt it. I can admin a linux server though. 10) The whale market sure is an interesting idea. But I'm not sure if you develop a coin or a community. Or is it both? |

bump 100k doge in limbo, 30+ confirmations. How long is the average wait time these days? And here I thought cryptsy got it's shit together... |

WTF price is @ 100 satoshis...

Oh great the next chinese scrypt-jane coin after YBcoin, Applecoin, QQcoin and Velocitycoin? I wonder why chinese like scrypt-jane so much? btw: avoid QQcoin imo (unfairly high diff recalc time, start was ridiculous), go for Velocity instead (released on same day as QQ but with instant diff recalc each block). |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217636.0Then have a look at e.g. Quark or Qubit sourcecode, compare the code to standard Bitcoin/Litecoin code (depending on which it is based on ofc) to get some clues on how to change algorithms. Too much for a noob imo, although not that hard.

The secret "premine" by the russian subforum, two months before it was announced elsewhere. Does Sypherpunk have something to do with Syphilis? |

More algos and you'd be miles ahead of the competition.  |

I think 85% is the highest recommended fanspeed for longer durations. I wonder if the 250 is faster than a 5/7770.

Maybe if it has a new algo and sane specs.

2080915 knumbers/sec on the one I just checked.
Under the covers, its Xen virtualization running on 2x E5-2670 CPUs - with the 32 vCPU instance, you are basically getting the entire physical server with a little overhead for the virtualization part.
That's not too shabby. Considering I only use 3 cores, I could squeeze out 630000 knumbers out of all 4. 3.5x (based on the price) 630000 = 2205000 Basically same bang for buck, mine is slightly better. My bad experience with Amazon was based on the normal EC2 instances, so thanks a lot for the tip about the spot instances. Although having a root is very convenient. lol we have the same server. hetzner
Gotta love them, it's on and mining hard for a half year, no downtime yet. Plus a website and some game- and ts3-servers. Can't recommend Hetzner enough. Sorry for slightly offtopic. edit: corrected calculation |

They've been around for a few years, but arent a well known feature.
You can get a 32 vCPU / 16 Core for .28 USD / hour most of the time.
You have to work around the fact they can turn it off and delete it at anytime though - I have my wallet on a normal "on-demand" type instance
That's a good clue which will be useful for many people. May I ask how many knumbers these 32 virtual cores do so I can compare the price? My i7 920 is around 0.081$/h and does ~475000 knumbers/s using 3 of 4 cores (43€/month, can be had for 41€: https://robot.your-server.de/order/market ). |

Take a look at AWS Spot instances - they are crazy cheap with some caveats. But they are perfect for mining new coins
I used the 100$ free credit they once gave away (not sure if they still do that) and was rather underwhelmed by most instance types, the big ones were nice but very expensive (unless you expect the price of the coin to rise extremely). Most of my experience were with XPM and QRK, mined lots XPM with a dirt cheap 20€/month VPS, until the hosting company found out and cut the performance (host-unlimited, pathetic company and I don't say that because of the performance cut, which was expected and is a major reason I don't like VPS [variable performance unless you go KVM but then you can get a root for the same price]; getting the server took weeks). TL;DR: I think one root mining 24/7 makes more profit for the same money in the long run. IMO of course. Those spot instances seem like a nice thing where you decide what to pay, are they new? |

Maybe you're right.  But using large VPS farms for early mining on the right coins is nearly always profitable if you go hard, or I wouldn't do it. Between XPM and MAX I think I probably made over 120 BTC at a cost of a few thousand dollars. If you do it smart it's profitable, but this time it hasn't worked for me! Sure if you choose the right coins and are patient you will make some profit for sure, but I'm sure you could increase it with a root farm, however rootservers are something you must have at hand before the coin has launched ofcourse. I made 150k QRK with my single root mining 24/7 for months, sold all except 20k for peanuts (around 100 satoshis iirc), hope you are more patient than me. btw my faster AMD fx 8350 hasn't found anything yet so luck probably plays a huge role. re: optimized miners, wasn't the fastest prime finder a CUDA one? |

Please add this coin to endlessfails.com along with coinye and max
Didn't the botnet kill your PC yet? |
