127USD. 

Was there no one able to respond to this?

This would seem better as a wiki, honestly.

It is good information, but quite a tl;dr.

So it is really a measure of post counts / age on the site.

Please consider this my request to be whitelisted.

I have been mining bitcoins for some time, and have just moved my rig over to litecoins.  I'm currently running a 6 x 7950 GPU miner on litecoins and have questions to ask burnside related to his pool.

Many thanks.

Very reasonable... but I have to agree... this is a little extreme for most users.

If you are a hard core BTC or [ltc] trader... take these precautions.  If you are a casual user... back up your wallet.  That is about all you need to do.

Answer is yes... rooms full of hardware. Hot hardware.   

Fact is you can get various kH/s from different boards, but in my situation I run at about 500kH/s with a single 7950 GPU for litecoins.  All you have to do is multiply it out.  Well, that and $$.

My current miner holds 6 x 7950s and produces about 3 Mh/s. 

As of right now, as the ASICS are entering the market, BTC are moving from the Mh/s to Gh/s.  Odds are that unless you are in the Gh/s you are going to be banging your head against the wall with the block solve times for BTC.

That being said, 500kH/s is not a bad place to be for litecoins.  Keep cooking those processors!

6 x 7950s @ 500Mh/s for Bitcoins.  3Gh/s Total.
6 x 7950s @ 500kh/s for Litecoins. 3Mh/s Total.

Been mining for some time... and just bought a new stand alone rig.  Litecoins now... bitcoins are going to be a problem even with my 6x7950s

Hey!

Seems that 6 confirmations is about normal.  Roughly 20minutes for me.
