Nice! Glad to see it is out!

I cant say that I see your attitude people as a good sign. How you all are so concerned with the market price. Execoin in not a barrel of petrol. It is supposed to be primarily a payment system!
 Cheesy

Just means that the thief immediately converted his loot to fiat, using the BTC-E exchange. Had the exchange be a bit more co-operative, then the chasers would have actually caught the thief.

If that were true, my friend, and the thief was soo naive and stupid and he didnt use any of the above mentioned methods, you could just as well catch him now. The transactions are still in the blockchain, and it depends only on how much records BTC-e keeps. If someone dumped such a big amount at once, it would make it bloody obvious.

Based on the current known specs of 28nm technology any array of chips that pumps out a combined total of 300 mhs of scrypt is going to be using right at 6000 watts at 100% efficiency, which again is never going to happen.


This is an interesting conjecture. Can you explain your reasoning in more detail ?
I, too, am really curious as to how you could back up your estimate. Are you assuming there is a minimal amount of transistors you have to use and a minimal amount of reads/writes on a on-chip memory?

Overall energy consumption is affected by many factors. Like layout of the board. for example in an ASIC, you can have memory very close to a processor significantly lowering wattage.

Five pages and nobody points this out? The "Sheep marketplace scam" wallet is BTC-E's hot wallet.

haha, I remember how I laughed in December on the two clowns Grin chasing a fairy
and chasing it while it was obvious they have trouble even "walking" in the blockchain
They didnt even bother to check for the most common addresses used by the biggest exchanges...

Just imagine you had the skillset that allowed you to hack at a tor market holding BTC. But you would suddenly have no idea on how to cover your tracks in the blockchain ( which takes little knowledge and time?).

It takes little common sense, a drop of creative thinking, 3 spoons of googling, about 12 hours of mixing through alts and mixers + sending random tiny amounts to random addresses and some patience with cashing out. No one, no matter how resourceful and determined, can tell what went where.

 I would bet that there was never more then say 30k BTC on Sheep at one time.
The real Sheep theft was probably much smaller.

scroll scroll scroll.. mega bullshit propaganda

bagholders spouting bs .

i did some checking 3 days ago now and scrypt-n (Vertcoin) was a hair under 3x more profitable to mine than Dark coin was..
and factoring market values and trends i can safely say Darkcoin is on the high side price wise and VTC is on the low side.

people don't know what the hell they are taking about.. facts are facts

many of the guys that commented here ignored when i had posted this info before and showed up here spouting X11 bs
even though they just acknowledged what i said previously.. they play dumb about it lightning fucking fast !

OP i hear ya jeez i am in the same boat my profit mining alts have been slaughtered
and you can take my advice over others because i am honest about it and don't suffer from fanboyism like most douches around here
and i have been doing it all far longer than the majority of these guys and experience counts !

for your situation, do i mine or not ? you gotta look at the current and future market value of the alt's and whether it's likely they are going to explode in value later
and like i just said i think Dark coin is on the high side compared to VTC being lower (scrypt-n vs x11) market price wise
and i think that is the majority is being fed X11 bs lol

i think we're tied to Bitcoin too so look at the bitcoinwisdom values lately and right now it just hit 420 and i went and looked at cryptsy and my investment is even lower..

don't take advice from noobs that know fuck all you'll regret it Wink
This thread was hilariously noobish, blatant and manipulative at once. Took a while for somebody with more sense in their head to step in! You spoiled the fun! But on the other hand, you're protecting the newbies who might consider the preious advice in this thread seriously.

so X11....where do I begin
Even if we forget about the fact that all the 11 algos and the way they are chained is fairly ASIC adaptable,.. what is even worse about X11 ARE ITS MAIN PROPONENTS, DarkCoin and Hirocoin! Roll Eyes Why? THEY BOTH SUFFERED A HEFTY PREMINE! Just look through the DarkCoin reddit, the DarkCoin community is even aware of that but pretends like its ok to shield their investment. So greedy!
If Einsteineium forks to X11 I will probably mine it for a few days to get a few, even though I find it slightly silly.
The logical next big thing is Vertcoin. WHY? The devs and the community are commited to be antiASIC, its been publicly stated by a dev. If they even make a scrypt-n ASIC, it will get screwed by a hard fork.
And also, Vertcoin aims to get in circulation, get merchants and payment platforms involved and is already seeing success in that regard. DarkCoin is nowhere near to that and Hirocoin is nowhere near Dark.

Also, mining to instacash out has been foolish for months. Now mining makes sense if you intend to hold altcoins/BTC for quite a while. If you dont have the resources/balls/cheap elec just stay out and buy BTC/alts directly.
Just my 2 cents of sanity.

One thing I do not like about Execoin is that devs seem to sometimes forget to do very basic stuff, like putting a link to the wallet on the coins website! Embarrassed

This coin needs more development work,community activity and people who actually intend to use it as a coin, right now its just a mining extension of Vert.
Just look at the reddit of Exe and then look at Vert. Vert is all about how to make it a real coin, Exe's is mostly about mining nuances.
