No, they probaby will switch to scrypt-jane (needs lot of memory compared to simple scrypt) or SHA3

13.8 works fine here with 7950 (aka Tahiti, GCN 1.0), 7790 (aka Bonaire, GCN 1.1), 7660D (GPU of Trinity APUs aka Devastator, VLIW4) and 7340D (GPU of Bobcat APUs aka Loveland, VLIW4). It should also work fine with older VLIW4 cards (HD 5xxx and 6xxx)

Are you using the propritary NVIDIA driver? You are probably using something like Noveau which hasn't support for OpenCL.

I must have spent 2 hrs yesterday messing with that damn Cmd line Nameoin Wallet and was about ready to thorw my PC out the wondow.. There is a Namecoin QT Wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=236375.0Oh yes I forgot about Groupcoin.. Does Groupcoin have a nice easy to use wallet? Sadly not. The Groupcoind seem only to compile under Linux, and the wxWindows Wallet is even more a pain in the ass. Something yesterday happend and I am not sure what it is.. I was D/L and running all the Wallets this pool supports and I now have one Wallet that is says Bitoin when I opne it up but it is NOT my Bitcoin wallet.. I dont know what this is or which coin its assoicated with.. It just says Bitcoin but the Icon and stuff looke different.. Anyone know which Walet this might be? Devcoin Wallet |

step1 - throw my computer at the wall. step 2 - buy pc LOL  funny, but with bootcamp he can boot into windows or linux. so there is no need to do that  |

Basically, you'll want to download serial USB drivers from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and then look for the name of your device after you've plugged it in by typing 'ls /dev/cu.*' in the terminal. I'm not sure about OSX, but under windows you should NOT install the FTDI driver if you only use Block Erupters, as the Erupters use the SILabs chips and the FTDI driver allocates COM ports that don't exist and creates a mess that is hard to clean up. You need the FTDI driver for the BFL units, Erupters need the SILabs driver. |

First thing you probably need to do is installing the SILabs USBtoUART driver: http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspxthen have a look at the Macminer thread, the Block Erupter should work with the BFGMiner of Macminer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=197110.0If its ok for you to use bootcamp to boot into windows then download BFGminer and create a .bat file in the same directory: bfgminer -o ppc.fixx.ru:8437 -u MyUser.1 -p MyPassword -G -S erupter:all
replace MyUser with your account name and MyPassword with your password. If you want to mine with your graphicscard as well then replace the -G with -I d You can also create a native BFGminer for OSX, but for that you need to install XCode and Homebrew. then start bfgminer with the options above from a shell. Sadly I can't provide you a native BFGMiner, as I only have an old iMac G5. |

Here are my compilation instructions, because this thing is shipped with the crappy makefiles from early bitcoin releases. Get fixed makefile.unix from http://pastebin.com/ncnG57t8BDB_LIB_SUFFIX=-4.8 BDB_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/db4.8 make -f makefile.unix groupcoind Your bdb include path might be different depending on your installation - but if you compiled any recent *coin you should already know what to do with it. The most important part is to ask for groupcoind, as the wxwidgets one is even more of a nightmare to compile. If that helped you, send your first groupcoins to 2huz72a79xir7cFEnNKvQN9KeBmGqRRUr1w Sadly it doesnt help with cygwin: Frank@Trinity ~/groupcoin/src
$ make -f makefile.unix.new groupcoind

maybe some people miming altcoins like Zetacoin for a better profit

IMHO premined is a wrong term in this case, as the coin was never dead and the "preminined" coins are in many hands, and not just the "developers". It's just a nice little extra that you get and that costs you nothing when you are on a merged mined pool that supports I0coin.

Use Onecoin, so it would look cheap to advertise |

Let's say you would mine today on Bitparking and checkout when you got BTC0.05. Then you also would have got
ca. 125 Devcoins
ca. 3.4 Ixcoins
ca. 0.43 Namecoins
Current prices at Vircurex:
1 Devcoin = 0.00000059 Bitcoin
1 Ixcoin = 0.00004500 Bitcoin
1 Namecoin = 0.00580000 Bitcoin
so it's 0.05 + 0.0007375 + 0.000153 + 0.002494 = 0,0533845 (minus transfer and trading costs).
The problem with bitparking is that it is a smaller pool, and it could take a long time until a block is found and you get your bitcoins. Maybe someone could give an example for bitminter or btc guild, which are bigger pools (but only do Namecoin merge mining).

According to heise.de the new SHA256 instuctions will be introduced with Nights Landing (Xeon Phi) in 2014, and later with Skylake (follow up of Broadwell, which is the follow up of Haswell) - problably in 2015.

The only problem: The 7790 has its own driver and there are no "tricks" around to get more than 4 or maybe 5 working and its problematic to run them with other 7xxx cards.
The special 7790 driver nowadays isn't needed anymore, you can use just the actual driver. I'm using A10-5800K APU, HD 7950 and HD 7790 together without problems.  |

For altcoins I'd rather get two 7790 than one 7950, because the price and the hasrate would be the same, but the power consumption would be only 1/2.
For SHA256d coins (Bitcoin, PPCoin, Terracoin, Bytecoin, etc.) you better invest your money in ASICs like Block Eruptors.

I like PPC & YAC both the most. You can make lots of PPC if you got a half way decent GPU / ASIC setup, there is a 1% POS interest p.a. and the POS protects the coin from evil takeovers. YAC is very nice for a halfway decent GPU setup, as there are not much much miners at the moment so that you can get lots of coins, ASICs are locked out, the coin is protected by POS as well and there is a POS interest of 5% p.a.
Philosophers Stone and Lebowskis are also very nice (both have a very high POS interest), but IMHO they need a bit of more time to mature and build up a POS protection to become realy interesting.
Coins without POS (except the main coins BTC, LTC, NMC, DVC, IXC) are a waste of time and hashrate IMHO.
