We have gone X-crazy and PoS obsessed, but I don't quite see the advantage unless you really do need secrecy or unless your PoS will actually be worth more than selling your coin when it hits its peak. PoS seems redundant unless you hold the coin for the future.

But anyway, is it all about X nowadays?

Personally I would take a SHA3 over all the above.

Genuinely interested in explanations. Crypto has moved on quickly over the last year, and I'm apparently out of the loop.

I have little experience with github, but this is the source I downloaded to compile for Linux.

I've followed instructions, and I think I have uploaded it correctly).

Do with it what you want, but some people will be able to spot any shit. Try compiling it for Linux, and have look at the total money:

"moneysupply" : 100149.28720096"

"Want a 50% chance to double your deposit?
Enter your info and we'll give you an address."

4 losses on the run, which of course is entirely possible, and no less likely than any other result from four separate 50/50 bets.

But fuck that game, I had a string of losses last time, too.

Where is actually situated in the source code (e.g. starting difficulty 1, 0.00024414)?

I can't find an answer, even on Google.

I bought this domain, thinking it was a good idea, but honestly have nothing to put on the site Anyone want it?

I'll set a reserve of 1 LTC on it. Give it a week.

litecoin.gl

Just think, you'll be able to capture the market for litecoin sales in Greenland. :-)

New to this, but I have a coin that was never released (the recipient decided he didn't want it).

Can I expect to synch the client if it is 9 months old?

I managed to compile a Linux version and a daemon (2 in fact), so I have connections (3 or 4). But the damned wallet (Windows and Linux) stays at "Catching up 0% done, last block was generated X days ago).

Am I wasting my time? I'm tying to avoid the whole genesis block thing, because this is a never released coin anyway.

Is there a "getaround", like tinkering with checkpoints or whatever?

What is the deal with this guy and his self-moderated topic where he deletes every post that does not claim litecoin is dead? He's just deleted another one of mine. Must be about my seventh or eighth.

Seriously question, and I don't know if he is scammer (trying to drop the price down another 50%) and hence this should be posted in the scammer section; a wee man with a wee job living a wee life (in his parents' basement;); mentally deranged, or what.

It illustrates that Bitcointalk as a forum is far from perfect. It also sends a misleading message to people that are unaware of the "self-moderated threads" or just unaware that they are used to manipulate opinion.

In fact, I think this should be in the scammer section. Dishonesty, trickery, deceiving people, is scamming.

Maybe the wee fella can comment here, if he can tear himself away from his job as commentator" at Poloniex.

Is anyone doing this sort of stuff; that is, setting up a simple script for people, even open source, and accepting payment as a percentage of profit? I don't mean anything fancy, just basic stuff angled to the house carrying little to no risk.

It could be a lucrative venture for very little work.

PM me if you want to talk.

Seems to be popular to offer BTC mining shares on exchanges, Cryptsy and Poloniex are doing it, and I have seen it somewhere else.

They are expensive, though, It got me thinking that the rise in the price on CEX over the last few days coincide with Cryptsy's increased business (Cryptsy will not reveal who mines for it).

Cryptsy: 0.014 per GHS
CEX: 0.007 per GHS

And cryptsy can resell your shares knowing that it will be able to buy them back cheaper with every passing month.

So win-win, even with the CEX charges for maintenance

anyone know where it is? It's disappeared, along with about 1 btc of mine. Nothing on its Twitter.

getting ready for blast off

From a pathetic scam to the coin that will make you rich - DIME is on the groundfloor, and going places.

Really advise people get in now and HOLD till its value multiplies by 50. Currently top of the voting at Cryptsy, and it can't get any lower in price than it is. It is the perfect coin.

Any holders want to get involved to maximise their investment?

God it's slow, but buggy as fcuk, with rejected orders for no reason, pending orders for 2 minutes, and recently an inability to send dimecoin anywhere.

Never get an answer from them, either.

These standalone miners that I have read about, does i mean you just don't need any other hardware? Or do you plug them into any type of computer?

Sorry for the ignorance, but searching the internet is not really yielding clear yes and no answers.

Also, I can use an asic with any SHA coin, right?

With the difficulty going up for BTC (6000+) it's probably a fool's investment, but it might be a laugh.

Cheers!

Watch out for the guy called Apocalipsis.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=99211

The guy scammed me for 0.20 BTC for a coin that he could not make.

Eventually he sent me a a semi-clone of Franko, and could not even find out how to paste over all the Franko bits, or change ports or set a genesis.

He promised a refund, but it never came.

Beware of an offer for a free coin. The first file he sent me is the only qt I have downloaded that was immediately flagged by my browser as malicious.

Anyone that wants to see the eventual product is welcome to PM me.

The answer to the questions is no doubt "no", but I'll ask anyway, just for clarification.

If you sent coins to Coinex and they are still in transit (not yet redeemed), is it possible to get them back? I don't know the private key to my account, just my account number (so I can't just import the number to a private wallet)

Or if not that, is it possible to scupper the transfer so Coinex does not get its greedy hands on them when it gets its scamming piece of shit together?

It's frustrating seeing your property stuck, for an eternity, "not yet redeemed"

I sent WDC from one exchange to another and they have not arrived. I sent about 5 hours ago.

Does anyone know who is to blame or what the problem is?

[As of now, the liabilities of MtGox Co., Ltd exceed its assets and its financial situation is as follows:Total amount of assets 3,841,866,163Total amount of current liabilities 6,501,119,371]

Just wondering if people know the extent of the debt.

As of now, the liabilities of MtGox Co., Ltd exceed its assets and its financial situation is as follows:

Total amount of assets    3,841,866,163
Total amount of current liabilities  6,501,119,371

Am I correct in believing this is just assets and liabilities in Yen?

Therefore,

Gox owes 2,659,253,208 ($26,251,281.47) in cash
+ Gox owes 750,000 in BTC (estimate that at $450,000,000)

Total converted to dollars: $476,251,281.47


It sounds an insane amount. I thought the figures on the website were in dollars but I notice there is no mention of the currency, just the figures. So I assume we're in Yen territory (or Gox is really screwed!)

Am I right, Gox owes $476,251,281.47 (taking into account the BTC debt which of course it will try and wriggle out of placing the value on it that I have just done (in truth it should be more given they locked coins in when BTC was at $1000)).

Apologies if I'm way out, but there seems to be conflicting reports from the media.

I don't even know my account number, and I can't find it on emails. I just know my login details.

Is there anywhere I can find it? Just in case! 

I expected better from the Foundation. This was a major crisis and the Foundation did nothing, said nothing, reported nothing. Even now the website is blank, just a few boring blog entries.

I wonder what its purpose is. It claims:

"Bitcoin Foundation standardizes, protects and promotes the use of Bitcoin cryptographic money for the benefit of users worldwide."

However it appears to be cowardly and not interested in "the benefit of users worldwide". Understandably it could not throw accusations around without evidence. But completely ignoring what we all knew was a crisis for bitcoin, or at least a crisis for many bitcoin users (or former users as the case may be) is a dereliction of duty in my opinion.

I see no point to its existence, and wonder why it exists, or why anyone would join now.

Looking at the membership fees, I see Platinum and Gold membership, which of course will be taken by industry, costs $100k and $25k.

Average Joe pays $25.

My point is that it seems more interested in protecting itself and its higher members than individuals that use the "currency".

To demonstrate its attitude, or at least the attitude of the legal team, I would post this from a few days ago from Todd Erickson of Foundation's Regulatory Affairs Committee.

To me it demonstrates that although we should police BTC ourselves and regulation would ruin the "essence" of the system, the Foundation is no use to users, and actually quite obnoxious.
