1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / So long Craptsy - Mooncoin the last straw on: January 23, 2014, 08:38:03 PM
Bigvern just added Mooncoin to Craptsy.

To some this might be good news but for anyone who's been a long term user of the site they'll know that Craptsy has been plagued with issues:

Money not being returned when you cancel a trade (or wait 5-60 minutes for it), support issues taking up to 3 weeks, 503 server errors many times a day, security error messages when trying to log in, security errors when trying to withdraw, unreadable or missing captcha images, over 140 complaints in support forum of other people having missing funds, slow lag times, delay in processing trades.

And now Bigvern, the fucking idiot, knowing Cryptsy is suffering from lag issues and Bitjohn well aware of the growing complaints on Bitcointalk and explaining more server resources and employees are on the way... goes and adds Mooncoin before resolving their website issues.

Clearly at this point it's a matter of adding every coin under the sun for sake of .20% and .30% fees on buy/sell than it is caring about people who need a fast and RELIABLE site to trade on.

So long Cryptsy... you had your chance. Bigvern, if you read this I think you're a fucking moron and 8 weeks was more than enough time to fix your miserable site.

Welcome Coinex Smiley

Mark my words, the days to come will bring complaints to the forum about people being unable to make trades due to Paul Vernon's stupidity.
2  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / How are coins unique when creating wallet code on: January 19, 2014, 08:30:26 PM
Hello

As I understand it, the wallets come with source code to allow people verify the integrity of the code. As a programmer of different languages I can understand some (not all) of the wallet code and what it's trying to do. What I'm curious about though is how do you differentiate a coin from another one?

Say I loaded up Bitcoin code and changed some text so that "Send Coins" and "Receive Coins" was changed to "Send BTC" and "Receive BTC". I also changed a few colours. If I recompiled this code, I am surmising that I could use it on the BTC network without any issues.

I have heard of clone coins out there, just recompiled versions, so my question is... how does the network know when the code is different? Say you modify just one byte of a wallet to change the network fee, or you changed a value for the reward, I'm thinking it wouldn't work...

Is there a checksum or hash value or something? If I wanted to create a new coin and test it on the network (pre-mine) but when it came time to release the coin (without any pre-mining) what would I change to make the code different, unique, from my pre-mine testing code.

What I'm basically asking in plain English is, at what point does source code being modified actually make a DIFFERENT coin? Is it by creating a different node? Surely one does not just change the name of a coin and recompile and you have a new coin to mine... what makes the code unique?

Thanks.
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How much suck could Cryptsy suck if Cryptsy could suck suck on: December 21, 2013, 04:58:40 AM
Is this for real or trolling? The comments are closed so it would suggest an admin posted it. This guy's website has been crashing for weeks, hundreds of people unable to take money out, lags on deposits and he has the gaul to ask for 5 bitcoin to add a coin to his site?

If this isn't a well played trollolol I would say this: Asshole get your fucking priorities in line. We don't need 400 new alt coins, we need a functioning website first. I've been trying to cancel a transaction for an hour now. The coins are showing pending for trade, the trade is not showing at all (cancelled an hour ago) but I can't access them as they haven't been returned to my account yet.

and you want to add MORE coins yet you can't even support the existing ones at this time?

5 bitcoins to add a new currency when you can't even handle the ones you have. I hope your business fails miserably. You can't even respond directly to the hundreds of complaints made about your site, instead you hide in the shadows shooting out private messages in secrecy. Have the balls to confront your rightfully pissed off customers and address these issues publically. How much longer will we have to wait for you to address issues that are a MONTH old now... missing/delayed fund transfers, bad gateway errors, etc.









and a few hundred other unhappy customers...

I try PM'ing someone and I get a message that my IP needs to wait 360 seconds before posting yet I didn't send a single PM message today, let alone in the last month.

Nice life.
5  Other / Beginners & Help / 0.08 bounty - Newbie LTC mining questions on: November 24, 2013, 10:26:02 PM
Hi there. I have two Radeon 5870's, Windows 7 with 16 megs ram and dual core processor. I am GUI mining.

I've been mining Litecoin with cgminer over the last 24 hours using Coinotron and mine-litecoin.com

A few questions, I'll pay out 0.08 BTC (not LTC) proportionally to the questions below and if more than one answer is helpful, split it between the top 2.

1) In mine-litecoin I am seeing only .12 possible payment (estimated) despite over 100 successful shares found over 24 hours. That estimation however is higher than the actual payout, a mere 0.02 LTC for 24 hours work. Meanwhile coinotron says I could gain 0.50 LTC in a 24 hour period. Is there any reason for the discrepancy?

2) Which is better, pay per share, round based or PPLNS? Once I begin mining I find shares within 60 seconds and I continue to find shares rougly every 20-30 seconds. I don't know what reward system would be better, the  PPS is 3.5% fee.

3) Is it better to use two instances of cgminer and disable the opposite GPU or to simply run cgminer using both GPU's at once?

4) My hashrate was about 45 kh/s at first and by adjusting the thread concurrency I brought it up to 290-350 kh/s. I am very much confused still by some of the parameters in cgminer.

My current string is:
cgminer --auto-fan --auto-gpu -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u radix.1 -p pass --scrypt -I 18 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 1600

I have no clue what thread concurrency means or shaders (total newb, I know) but I found that using 8192 for TC I have 0 hardware errors where with my old value of about 6000 I was hitting 300-1000 hardware errors (HW:) in cgminer within a 24 hour period.

Ideally I would like to tweak this and also add in a parameter to control the temperature from going over XX degrees. I know this is possible.

5) I am looking for the elusive SDK 2.1 which seems to be resulting in 404 errors everywere I look for it. If this is the best SDK to use I'd like to find a copy. I have read that version 2.4 or 2.5 may be just as effective (which is what I am using now - 2.5)


Thank you. If your information is helpful I will ask for your BTC address and send you a small payment for your time.
