Where can I find a historical chart for $ price of btc vs Mh/s

Is making a new currency something any noob can do, or does one need some skills first ?

OK I downloaded the zip source from github. Followed the readmes, tried qmake, tried qtcreator - both give errors.

Does this thing actually work ?

I get a load of this using qmake ::

Project MESSAGE: Building with UPNP support
sh: 1: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease: not found
RCC: Error in 'src/qt/bitcoin.qrc': Cannot find file 'locale/bitcoin_af_ZA.qm'
RCC: Error in 'src/qt/bitcoin.qrc': Cannot find file 'locale/bitcoin_ar.qm'
RCC: Error in 'src/qt/bitcoin.qrc': Cannot find file 'locale/bitcoin_bg.qm'
....etc etc

and I get

quark-master/src/qt/bitcoin.cpp:5: error: QApplication: No such file or directory

with qtcreator

Nice person tell me what I do wrong ?

I formatted a drive with some coin on it, so I ran pytools and it gave me a partial wallet, which just seems to contain gibberish and fragments of hex. The bitcoin client won't accept it. Is there any way to get the keys with a hex editor ?

Looked for the namecoin GUI, file isn't available for download - has it moved or is it defunct ?

I've been trying to get namecoin working, but I'm sturggling - I'm not windows conversant at all.
I want to get it going with guiminer if possible, anyone seen a good how to?

Thought I'd try linuxcoin for jollies, but after booting from a USB I get "Cannot Display This Video Mode"
I guess I have to get in and edit the xorg.conf file, but how?

imply that mining is going to be more difficult in years to come, no?

I read the bitcoin and Tor wiki, which seems easy enough to do except for secure transit through that last unencrypted node.

Can I make bitcoin completely secure?

Can I connect to mining pools with SSL, https and wotnot?

Is it possible to use faulty cards for mining, given that some functionality may not be needed on all cards in a rig- such as visual output etc.?
