I see scrypt and sha coins with various total coins.

What do you think is the best amount of total mineable coins?

I feel Bitcoins 21 million is way too small, because nobody likes to deal in fractions...

or am I missing something? Sorry I do not know much about the technicality of a coin, and no, I am not looking to create a coin, i'm just interested in finding out where all these altcoins come from. I see a number of popular coins have been created with this site (http://coingen.bluematt.me/status.html) yet a number of them popular coins are pre-mines. This site seems to have very limited coin creation variables from btc/ltc. How could a coin do so well when created from this basic generator (e.g. pxlcoin).

As there are so many alt coins that exist, wouldn't it make more sense if we all just pulled together?

If we had a project manager that took down the names of people from here (a thread in this section), listed their skills and what they could do, and after a month or two we would start to launch and develop a coin that had hundreds of people involved in developing it?

Wouldn't that make more sense?

If I wanted to spend my Bitcoins on a house that was for sale in the UK, would this be legal? As in, after I purchased the property and the person then said they did not receive the funds (lied), would that be game over (as it is somewhat anonymous)?. Are there any procedures that can guarantee you sent the funds to that person so the property is 100% legally yours?

Apologies if these are stupid questions, I haven't bought much with my Bitcoins, certainly nothing of any real value and I have never purchased property before.

I am looking for a website to record all my cryptocurrencies on that draw their prices/values from various online exchanges and give me a total value of each currency, and give me a total overall BTC & USD value for all my recorded currencies.

Does this exist?

Currently I am doing this manually with a spreadsheet, but it's time consuming.

I just got a 280x today. I have been playing BF3 on it for hours and it never once went above 66 deg C and the fan RPM never went above 1966 RPM, which is very nice, cool and quiet

. Here is my card: http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-772.shtml

The problem is, when I try to mine on the card the fan becomes way to hot and way too loud. I instantly get tempatures of 86 deg C, and that was just 2-3 mins of mining, I have a feeling they would be in the 90's if I left the card to mine over night. The fan RPM goes to 3446 RPM and sound like a jet engine taking off.

I don't understand what the issue is. I have configured it according to guides online. I am using GUIMiner and these are my settings:

Thread concurrency: 8192 // Worksize: 256 // Vectors: 1 // Intensity: 13 // GPU threads: 2

I do get good speeds of just over 700 kh/s, but this heat and fan speed/noise is a serious problem and obviously I can not mine at this point.

Can anyone offer any help on this issue? I did a Google search but I can't find any similar issues for this card.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Giveaway section - HERE

I contacted admin and a global mod and was given the all-clear to post this.

As most of you are now aware, giveaway threads are now banned on bitcointalk.org - More information on this here.

If you wish to create giveaway threads, you can create them on a forum I have set up:

You can then link to that thread in the official announcement thread on here for that coin, but please do not spam such link. A temporary link added to the main announcement post would do just fine. Do not create a new giveaway thread with a link though, that is still not allowed and defeats the whole purpose.

Hopefully this is some sort of compromise to meet the demand of giveaways for alternative cryptocurrencies on this website. So to confirm, you can still host a giveaway and post it here on bitcointalk.org (in the announcement thread), it's just that the post has to be a link that will take you off-site.

I want to change my username to just Chris and drop the 180Z. I feel no need to have a silly online alias and from now on just want to sign up to forums and other places online as Chris or Chris1 if Chris is taken...

If I created a forum for all cryptocurrencies (not just bitcoin) would you use it or would you just stay here? (you can do both...).

Given the recent announcement of all giveaway threads being banned, and I feel that the entire altcoin section will be deleted soon, then I feel it would be a good time to make a move to somewhere where we can discuss any currency and not just bitcoin.

I am not angry at the owners of this forum, because after all, it is called BITCOINtalk.org.

Does anyone have any info on this? http://www.bitcommoditiz.org/where-to-mine/

Pre-mine? Instamine? anything new?

Do they seem like fair coins to you?

Can people please stop mining pre-mined coins? You are ruining the reputation for all the fair cryptocurrencies out there. When the public start hearing about newbs complaining they invested a lot of money into a coin and it died over the period of a few weeks/months because of a mass dump/sell then this will really damage cryptocurrency reputations.

I do my best to voice my disapproval in any coin launch thread that has a pre-mine, and I notice a few others do too, but i'm surprised by the amount of people saying things like "this is going to be the next big thing! I am going to be rich, is anyone selling? Take my BTC!!", they then snap at people saying it's most likely a scam coin, and then even when the coin dies and they loose all their money they still say "yeah, I got unlucky" and do it all over again. You might be thinking that I should mind my own business, and I guess it is up to people what they do with their own money, but I feel there is a bigger issue at hand, and that issue is that these particular coins tarnish the reputation of all cryptocurrencies.

Agree? Disagree? Have your say here

Post what name you think would be good for a new coin.

I don't want to see the giveaway threads and a few others appear in my "show new replies to your posts" section, which is what I use to keep track of threads I have posted in. Is there any way to remove some of clutter in there? Thanks.

Do you think staff should lock all heavily premined coin threads in order to protect new members from being scammed?

It just seems a little unfair that you get scammers on here with heavily premined coins, and new members come along and put hard cash into buying these new coins thinking they are getting a bargain. Next thing you know the coin is dead and all their money is gone. That sort of thing will put you off ever using cryptocurrencies again (if you are new to the whole thing, which 99% of people are).

I sometimes trade in new coins that are not yet sold on any exchange websites.

This thread will help my buyers and sellers prove my legitimacy. I think a good 2-3 pages of positive feedback should be good enough to show I am not a scammer, added to the fact I have been here since early 2011 with no problems from staff or any members.

I'm looking to set up a mining pool for a few less known currencies I like the look of. I took a look at MPOS and that seems ok, but are there any other options available? I can't seem to find any.

Typically, what kh/s or mh/s are you all getting for scrypt mining?

I am running one card on 230kh/s and another on 100kh/s. Nothing spectacular I know, but I can't afford to fork out on multiple PC's/GPUs right now, maybe in the future.

I'm interested to see what speeds people are mining on average for scrypt.

I see so many pump and dump worthless altcoins being created in the past few months, it's crazy and could harm BTC's reputation.

The only altcoins I can see that could serve a genuine purpose, or offer something different to Bitcoin would be Litecoin and Peercoin, and potentially primecoin.

What do you all think? Do you notice any altcoins that offer something more beneficial over BTC?
