Yeah. Miners are often classified as viruses due to their usage in botnets and trojans. People put them in to mine on poor unknowing people's computers, and then AV's think that the miner softwares are bad when its just the botnets running them that are bad.

You'll need to basically become someone's wife/husband to get them to trust you enough to accept a paypall transaction for buying bitcoins

In general, they are pretty much the same. For CPUMiner, though, People have been reporting better results on intel CPU's. Intel CPU's perform better with code compiled using Intel's C++ compiler. So, overall, if you can, chose intel over AMD.

IN your specific scenario, though. You will have to find what's the best option for YOUR budget.

Blockchain app on cydia is great. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

With litecoin, GPU mining is still quite profitable. Is it not?

They make so much profit. Why can't they get google-grade servers? Those are invincible!
910  Other / Beginners & Help / No bitcoin IOS App? Why??? on: April 13, 2013, 03:41:36 AM
I recently found out that there used to be a Bitcoin Wallet app for iOS, but it was banned by apple for no apparent reason. :/ It really sucks. If I could buy and sell bitcoins using my iPhone, for IRL transactions, it'd be a LOT easier. AS much as I like android, I really like iOS's stability. It just works, and it never crashes. (for me)

Anyone know of any alternative? Honestly I think it should be reposted on cydia.
911  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Anyone actually know someone who has (or is getting) a butterfly labs mining rig on: April 13, 2013, 02:01:42 AM
I would not trust them at all. Its very likely that they are an elaborate scam. Please get a refund while you still can. They can run away with your money any minute. Just buy AFTER someone reports receiving a unit.

Store your computer inside of a deep-freezer. Just make sure that when you defrost nothing is running so that moisture doesn't cause errors or failures.

No really. It works. Tongue

ASICs will most likely be too expensive for the casual miner. there will most likely be GPU mining for a while, it just won't be particularly profitable.

200-300 bucks for a 5gh miner? A good card costs more and does just maybe 20% of it. ASICs will screw the difficulty.
Lol.  You're thinking of BFL. Realize that they're never going to deliver and that they are in fact a cleverly designed scam. xD
914  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The Bitcoin Wikipedia Article Is Now Shit on: April 12, 2013, 10:40:51 PM
Many people are posting misleading and degrading articles about bitcoins. It's really disappointing.

I can still pirate software and honestly I haven't noticed anything changing other than napster no longer being available.

Buy about 50,000 of those, then get started by turning them into standard logic gates, and then design a hardware description, and then build it with your transistors. Simple and easy. Except it'll take you a few thousand years to construct it by hand.

Tongue

On a serious note. Your best bet for making your own hardware miner is forgetting about ASIC and going with FPGA.

It'll cost you 200-ish if you can convince them you're buying for educational purposes. Just get some existing FPGA miner and plonk it down.

I think it depends on a country. Max Keiser said that USA will probably try to make it illegal. I tend to agree with him, I voted make it illegal to buy bitcoin for fiat, just seeing how usa government does things. Europe will try to restrict it but will not be as radical as USA, latin america will totally embrace it, asian countries could go either way. This is just my stupid speculation based on stereotypes.

People who think government can't screw with bitcoins are naive imo. Sure they can't shut down the bitcoin itself, but they can do a lot to make it hard to use it. I hope I'm wrong though.

there will be blood Cry



If they make it hard to use, they'd just be making the internet in general hard to use. Not bitcoins. The internet in general.

I don't see why it'd be regulated. It's basically cash of the internet. Why regulate cash?
919  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Introduce yourself :) on: April 12, 2013, 09:44:01 PM
Hi. I'm posting here to actually introduce myself, rather than to just try to gain post counts. I'm a furry, my internet persona is a cat, and I have no enemies because I am friendly and make friends with everyone. My wolf friend introduced me to crypto currencies a week ago, right before LTC quadrupled past 50 cents for the first time ever.

I'm mostly into this because of the profit I can make from speculation, as well as the fact that cryptocurrency is so politically rebellious and unstoppable by any silly governments. :3

Don't think anyone will read this but whatever. Have a nice day. :3
