That's what I do too - long term I'd store everything in LTC or BTC, but for mining, since I only have an nVidia card, I mine the easy ones instead and hope I can trade them for a good price.

Ich mine (minen?) mit einem GTX470 mit CUDAMiner (der Autor, Christian Buchner, ist auch Deutsch), bekomme 150kH/s oder 180-200kH/s ubertaktet. Viel besser als cgminer - womit ich nur 9-20kH/s kriege.

Pass auf: CUDAMiner unterstutzt nur getwork, kein Stratum. Und der Akku wird die Ausdauer verlieren wenn es heiss ist.

This could be very useful, thanks!

Which is totally different from what coinchoose.com is saying - coinchoose says it's 160% more profitable than Bitcoin, whereas Litecoin is only 30% more profitable than Bitcoin! Have I missed something?

Assuming I mine with a GTX470 (100MHash/s, 180kHash/s), I'll get:
0.0005 BTC/day
0.37522158 LTC/day -> 0.12BTC/day
8.73588866 FTC/day -> 0.02BTC/day

So how is FTC more profitable than LTC, not taking into account speculation?

Sorry, I missed a decimal place in the LTC-BTC conversion...

Isn't the single core CPU going to limit the GPU's work in some way? I'm running cudaminer and afaik some of the work has to be done on the CPU, so cudaminer takes up around 20% of the CPU. Is this also true for cgminer?

Hello, I had 1BTC on a wallet.dat, and I wanted to import it into another wallet.dat. So I did dumpprivkey, copied it, and importprivkey on the new wallet.dat. I had given 0.15BTC to a friend, and spent a bit, so I expected to see 0.54BTC left or so.

But after running Bitcoin again with -rescan, it shows that somehow 0.85BTC was transferred to some address I didn't know about? This clearly can't have happened, because I used part of that, which is why I had 0.54BTC left not 0.85BTC. And when I put my old wallet.dat back and -rescan, I get my old balance 0.54BTC. What the hell just happened here?

The address with the 1BTC:
http://blockchain.info/fb/1aqcqv6

I did NOT send 0.85BTC to 1A2y9KbKe2iARVx6enEBwXuimmkEB9gNp3

I sent ~0.30 something to BTC-e, and I still have it there.
