Can you submit this information to the FTC Lab_Rat? It sounds like something that could help their investigation. Pulling records of power consumption at the building may show when the gear was first mining -- considering it must have been running before you popped in.

It would be interesting to audit BFL's power consumption, at the business location and employees homes, and homes of relatives/friends. I'd bet there would be some pretty huge power bills that can't be accounted for, even after the admitted mining. Instead of following the money, they should follow the power consumption! And, to state the obvious: it feels like the lawyers don't quite have the same level of understanding of crypto that Josh does; I hope they are bringing some smarts on board! Like Josh said, they had 65nm equipment 6 months before shipping. Who knows how much they mined and kept at that point

Who's the lawyer involved?
MB?
I'm assuming it will come out at some stage. If so, please PM.

why would you want to fork a successfull coin? it's not even two month old, and performing great so far.
Well, not to disparage this coin, since I did very well with it, but I'd love to see this f'n awesome algo (sans jackpot) used in a more general way, so definitely keep this young coin but perhaps make another to compliment it. As much as JPC rocks, I honestly take issue with the both the name and number of coins: The name is great for a niche market, and the number of coins seems to be hindering the rise in value. ...just a suggestion - it's beyond my abilities.

How about a fork with:
Total of 60 000 000 coins (over 5 years - average of 1 000 000 /month halving every 6 months).
No Jackpot, but rather a better stake to encourage keeping coins. Built-in larger transaction fee (above optional) that decays at 2x rate (so zero at 2.5 years) as coin distribution, again to encourage keeping coins up front (goes to stake).
Same great speed, no premine. Encourage donations to dev/team.
Call it something without 'coin' in the name, like 'fastcrypto' [FST] and call the algo S5 (stake/x5).
Maybe start it with dev + marketing group + some innovative uses, like the android home-gaming wallet, and some online group games that take advantage of the speed.
Enter with the serious mindset that this coin could be bitcoin's silver, taking the #2 spot.

S5
(stake / x5)
and can we please drop the 'coin' part of jackpotcoin?

You guys know if there's a delay in (JPC) withdrawals, over a certain amount, from allcrypt?
Been waiting and waiting....
I switched around 3.5 and 1m earlier with no problems if that's any help. Thanks... so just something weird with my transaction (480k). That's what I get for ranting! :/ I'm quoting myself - yay! I heard that the allcrypt JPC hot-wallet might be depleted... but we're not sure yet. Guess I'll have to wait and see if my JPC is stuck in a teleporter accident.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. An exchange is a place to trade a coin. 99.5% of all trades (in my experience) are simple limit orders. That means the overwhelming majority of people make the most simple of all trades.
All exchanges support that type of trade.
So - at the end of the day - since all exchanges support the type of trade that (hyperbole-ly speaking) "everyone" uses - there is functionally no difference in what exchange your coin is traded on.
For a few days, JPC was 50+ BTC daily volume on allcrypt. Today, it's at 32 on bittrex. Allcrypt obviously cod handle the volume.
So, other than exposure, why does JPC need to be on mintp? A site that functionally offers nothing more than other exchanges do for the vast majority of all traders.
Yes, it has higher volume. Allcrypt had that higher volume until people decided to move to bittrex - why? Because it's "better"? Why? Not volume - allcrypt HAD the volume until the JPC traders decided to do business elsewhere.
My point is twofold.
First - an exchange is what YOU make of it. Allcrypt's volume is low because people left for the "better" exchange at first chance. Allcrypt has the biZare problem of "we are small, because we are small". Bittrex is bigger, solely because they are bigger. Which is a psychological thing. It's like shopping at Walmart, even though the customer service is horrific and you wait in line for 40 minutes because 27 unused registers sit dark, to save about 5% over what you'd pay at Target, getting a sometimes inferior product, and wasting a huge amount of time in line.
Second - a question. WHY is Allcrypt small? Why, although we have the speed, and features, and customer service that rivals the other guys - why are we the "stepping stone" before a coin gets on a "real" exchange? That's an honest question, because we've had meetings about it and cannot for the life of us figure it out. We are the ONLY exchange active in the community forums of the coins we support, we are faster, we are more innovative, we are more responsive - yet - we cannot seem to come close to getting the volume the big guys have. We HAD it with JPC - until bittrex added it and boom - mass exodus. You guys - the JPC community - killed the volume on allcrypt.
I understand the UI isn't the best. A major overhaul is coming. Maybe that's it. Maybe the site just isn't pretty enough. I don't know. None of us understand how we are functionally better in almost every aspect, yet still lose out to the "big guys".
I guess it's like BETA vs VHS. Betamax was the better format. VHS won.
Just trying to understand the mentality behind it. That's all.
I personally started allcrypt because I wanted a better exchange. I wanted a site with the features everyone wanted. I thought we delivered. Yet - we are still treading water.
We are welcome to hear any and all feedback. You can submit a support ticket on the site or send an email to contact # allcrypt , c0m (trying to keep the spambots from grabbing that)
Thanks
That's a great question allcrypt, and I understand the frustration of it all when the mob does not follow logic, but each other, round and round. When I do my next big trade, it will be at your exchange. The only thing I can think of in answer to your question is what you already alluded to: pretty site. Sad as that is.. it's true and I think you nailed it. Dudes go all gaga-altruistic over a hot chick, measurably dropping IQ, and the same can be said for a pretty site, functionality be damned. JPC might get a boost from the exposure of hanging out with hot chicks, but it would do much better if it had a job. We *need* more ways to showcase this coin, get it used for not only gambling, but payments at more mundane sites, so it doesn't end up yet another scummy P&D. Speed is our killer feature, and the fastest way to get that used IMHO is an android app that allows home gamers to gamble/play (poker, monopoly etc). After that, a retailer who could use high speed, like a hot dog stand, or live internet events that can use payments to gather data real-time. The jackpot feature will fade, rendering the name of this coin a little off, at which point we'll either ghost or have a large/secure enough network to push the speed and, hopefully by then, market depth. I really think adding an anonymizer would give this coin a huge boost, but I've tried every way to reach dev without success, and nobody here seems keen. Maybe you could think of something for that allcrypt? I can't make the app idea happen, nor can I build a good casino site -- I can only nag here and hope that someone with the skill to make it happen and the insight to see past the 'pumping value / expanding the exchange base' is listening. Sorry allcrypt, slight tangent there, but I'm sure you get it more than most.

Please help!!!
I'm trying to run ye olde GTX 460 to mine JPC. So far, no success. Has anyone managed to get fermi cards working?
You need to use the compute 2.x version of ccminer, you can download it here. nope.. and it says on this page.. To ensure support for Compute 2.x however the support for Jackpotcoin, Quark and Animecoin is not available as the code for these in ccMiner apparently requires at least Compute 3.0 support.
edit: For my Compute v2 Fermi card i mine Max coin at 1gh pool.. i can get 40+ MH/s on my 550Ti with it overclocked with MSI Afterburner edit2: my Max coin commandline for cudaminer cudaminer -q -i 0 -d 0 -L 128 -C 2 -l F3222x16 --algo=keccak --no-autotune -o stratum+tcp://maxpool.1gh.com:17333 -u ghgdhgdhgdghdghdhgdhgd -p x
Wahoo! Mining maxcoin once again... this time with a GTX 460 @ 54000kh/s (to sell and buy JPC with of course!) Thanks Spoetnik!

You need to use the compute 2.x version of ccminer, you can download it here. Thanks kebabman  That's actually as far as I got before -- then no go. I'm just playing around as I have a dozen modern GPUs mining JPC already, but thought it might be kinda cool to get that ancient one working as well. Seems like the miner you linked to may work for some other coins on the old card though.

I've had a culex Sapphire R9 290 suddenly die on me (it wasn't even a miner card, but the card for my main PC - which is filled with nothing but the most expensive, highest quality components possible). Trying to get warranty repair is turning out to be a total PITA.
Has anyone else had to go through this, who may be able to help me through the process?
The want a receipt, and place of purchase.
I'm in Canada.
Thanks!

It has the volume to make a good coin successful though. A crap coin will fail, but even with the limited volume on bittrex it dipped to 40-50 and hung there nicely, so I think it will be fine on Mint. There is too big of a community built around it to not stabilize after a week or so on there.
I think you underestimate the masses.... Somebody just moved the entire price down 5 sat because he wanted to dump his 14,000 coins... That's like one card for one day. We already gained so many people who are only going to stick around for a week before deciding that the diff is too high. I am not saying you are wrong, but just saying that slow and steady is far preferable for me... I would rather not see huge price gains of 100% in a day, and I would rather not add all the exchanges in the span of a week. I hope to see them spread out, so new smaller traders are exposed to the coin at higher and higher price points which they can make up their minds. I want the coin to settle at 60 right now, and make another move in 5-7 days. I would rather see gambling sites opening up taking the coin than trading sites... create demand for the coin to be used, and the exchanges will take care of themselves. JPCdice has been great for this coin, but it can't be the only game in town. To me gambling sites taking JPC is like amazon taking BTC for sales... (not the same scale mind you), but an actual use is far more important than a trade. Well said nomad! Yes, we need to *use* this coin. Right now, gambling would the our best bet. Later, anyone wanting to do what bitcoin does -- transfer value -- but at a much greater speed, can find a use outside of gambling. So.. how can we pool our resources to build a jackpotcoin casino? Nothing shitty.. something to be proud of, that's fully functional. There must be some BTC casinos out there that we could modify? How about an Android app for letting people play card games at home and gamble using JPC? We *need* more usage... just like in the BTC world.

Is there a simple formula for giving 'this much stake = this much equivalent gpu hashing' calc?

We need a Wikipedia entry.
Also, the number of coins in total, and how they are distributed needs to be explained a little more succinctly, as does pow/pos.
It's new territory to most miners - and in a sea of alts, it might be hard to call attention to oneself without whacking everyone over the head with the differences of this coin (so yeah, get whacking!).
I watched a great TED talk not that long ago, where a charity operator pointed out that spending the small amount of money that he managed to get, not on the charity in question, but on an advertising campaign to raise money for said charity instead, worked out much better. The problem was, people didn't quite understand what he was doing, and got all upset over spending charitable contributions on marketing, despite the logic and raw data that backed up his methods.
My point -- maybe we could start a dedicated marketing and education campaign, focused on targets giving the best return. This might even include funding the construction of some simple gambling sites, or paying for some advertising. Maybe we could contact 'Let's talk Bitcoin' for an interview regarding the tech.
If everyone knew what we did, they'd be all over this coin - it's that simple.
EDIT:
some ideas to begin with: (1) redo jackpotcoin.net to flow a little better (2) fund a casino site with at least 12 games (3) think of a good tag, like "Fast times!" (4) pay a hottie to do a good youtube explanation that is not very technical, but technical enough (I thought the much-appreciated vid we have now was way too technical - there could be a second vid to explain the inner workings).

very cool gambling site thanks for accepting JPC
http://www.bitcoin-thimblerig.net/jpc/I thought dice was fast - but this.. it almost tells me if I win or lose before sending anything. Not 5 seconds passed between betting and winning! The speed of this network is so beyond anything I've experienced in crypto. Just wait till word gets out!! (which it seems to be today!)
