i dont think 100$ is that absurd, the account probably took a good few years to gain that much Karma.also the large post base makes it far more versatile.

i think a good starting bid would 50$. anything below that just keep the account

I have no clue what's it's worth and have no need for it but my bid is $5.

Only two with that amount im aware of is Ultradar or Paul 'the management team' who we never hear from.
Silly move really owning 2% of a coin and selling for pennies! Will regret it in 5 years thats for sure!

I think some ppl are in hype of LTC going there, this dump is prolly just for "short" time to ride LTC hype and then short on UTC (if price stay low)

+1

i have joined as an investor into an alt mining interest, i explained to them everything about UTC and they are interested.

If the n factor gets locked at 15 for a year like you guys have been proposing, they will begin mining and are willing to commit btc in staggered purchasing to get volume started. It wont be all in UTC, that will be divided amongst a couple other alts that they think have long term potential.

Some background on them: they are based in Hong Kong and are getting out of a certain big alt due to sinking prices and too much competition/block halving

You guys need to start wooing the larger mining companies to get on board with this.

Aint nobody got time for re-calibrating

As you are probably aware NFactor 15 is coming soon.  It will happen at approximately Jan 22nd around 8:50am UTC

Keep an eye on the forums for recommended settings for your hardware at the new nFactor once it hits.  We'll all be adjusting.

For nVidia folk using cudaminer, I recommend autotuning using the algorithm of scrypt-jane:15 and -L 4 for a lookup gap of 4.  You may be able to get a better rate at higher lookup gaps, but it will take significantly longer to find the best settings for your card using autotune and the higher gaps tend to cost you more power as the GPU is worked harder to compensate for less memory.  Seems like the powers of 2 work the best for the lookup gap and 4 is about the same as 8 as far as cudaminer at NF14, it's just 8 takes more wattage.  The 970s+ with 4GB of graphics memory may fare better at lower lookup gaps.  Can't hurt to try gaps 2-8 in an autotune.

Yacminer folks may have to redo their settings if they will not work with the NF14 memory requirements.  Experienced ATI folk yacminers or otherwise, please keep an eye on the forum.  You could really help by sharing your expertise and your settings once you've mostly dialed it in after some experimenting.  Fortunately for us our Yacoin brothers have been through this already and it is relatively easy to dig up settings with some Googling.

And please don't get hung up on the lower hashrate; it's going to be lower for everyone else too.  Keep an eye on the your earning rate at the newer level.  The same amount of UTC/hr will be rewarded overall for proof of work, but those with the higher GPU memory sizes (4GB+) will benefit more at the higher nFactors than those with (<=2GB).  And again, higher lookup gaps will add more benefit as the memory requirements go up.
