I still cannot believe how people will fall for this scamchain launch. Avoid. No exchange sucks too etc. !!!

Actually at that rate it'll be an incredibly small decimal. How you got a negative is beyond me.

Sarcasm doesn't hide your stupidity (or ignorance). Face it, you didn't know what half-life was until the OP pointed out your error.

Lol...I find it funny that the people with the lowest post counts are the ones who talk down the most.  Am I right?  I wonder what the ratio is of new "actual users" vs. "sock puppets" is.

100 : 1  Grin
2443  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Be ready when is launches! on: October 12, 2011, 08:34:16 AM
Voting has closed, Litecoin will be launched at Thursday Oct 13, 03:00 GMT
If you are in the US, that's 8pm pacific and 11pm eastern on Wednesday Oct 12. That's less than 24 hours away!
Make sure you have updated your binaries.

Oh great !

Seems like he is the "Top Secret" guy again trying to warn us the big government is coming to stop Bitcoin. LOL  Shocked
2445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SC Releases his 'white paper', hilarity ensues on: October 12, 2011, 04:47:58 AM
I wonder who those people might be!   You're so transparent  Roll Eyes

Do you know the deepbit (owners) ? If you want to talk about centralization let's look at how one group has nearly 50% control of BTC network.

That is more centralization than 10x trusted accounts equally having control (for now).

Exactly. Anyone who believes BTC is decentralized is an idiot. Gavin, MtGox, Deepbit, "the manipulator" etc. pull all the shots in this closed system.

I hope we get a second round to choose between the 2 most voted options. It'd be sad to end up launching at 3am just because GMT voters got spread over 3 day times.

If there's a close tie between the last 2 options. Would it make sense to launch halfway between them?

that would be changing the rules of the vote halfway. Not fair.
It is also very possible that the average would be very inconvenient for people who voted for the nearest time slot. For instance 1h more or less can make the difference between being at home and being at work.

I agree.  I say we release on exactly the moment that gets the most votes.  It isn't convenient for me, but if we're going to make statements, we need to stick by them.

I agree as well. Currently the last option is the best. No average or other BS. Just launch Thursday at 3am GMT pls !
2447  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would online Bitcoin commerce work? on: October 12, 2011, 02:55:34 AM
I've been following Bitcoin for a while now, and one hurdle to its use as a currency I'm not seeing how to overcome is the lack of accountability in online commerce. 

Online shopping works in large part because you know that if BudgetComputer.com doesn't send you the memory they promised, you can always sic Visa on them.  With Bitcoin, one party has to hand over their goods or money without any way of knowing that the other party will hold up their end of the bargain.  And if they don't, there's nothing you can do about it.

What is to stop people from putting up websites, collecting money, and then simply disappearing with it?  Wouldn't adoption of Bitcoin essentially drive out small businesses as people flock to the larger sites like Newegg and Amazon, in the hopes that a big company is less likely to rob you than a small one?


Nothing. This is already happening with the various sites just closing shop and running with the BTC.
2448  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitcoinExpress on: October 12, 2011, 02:37:25 AM
i guess it was me because i woke up this morning and had 6000 coins idk how that happened!!!!

What are you using to mine ?
2449  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: October 12, 2011, 02:04:54 AM
I can confirm. This guy has got almost infinite power and $$$ and tons of connections in all areas ( he was threatening to downrank solidcoin.info on SEO etc. ). He is dangerous and not just blowing hot air.

How can you "confirm" that he is rich and powerful? You actually have to know something to confirm it.

That is the impression I got. Guy owns like 30k of namecoins and 100 000 of Bitcoins etc. He is like ArtForz guy but more black hat type etc. Early adopter and made a fortune. Now he can afford to kill any chain he pleases etc.

like artforz? I thought he was artforz...

Maybe he is. We can never be sure.

In linux64 on a 2600k with default compiling options, HT doesn't help or hurts performance.
In linux64 on a 2600k with AVX enabled in compilation of the client, HT helps significantly.

Can you please tell us your compile options and your khash/s. Thanks !

Are there any plans to implement merged mining?

This.
2453  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Hyperthreading better, neutral, or worse for scrypt calculations? on: October 12, 2011, 12:40:56 AM
Interested in this as well.
2454  Economy / Speculation / Re: Breakout to the Upside Imminent on: October 11, 2011, 11:49:31 PM
Cool so if I create a sockpuppet account today I can increase this "imminent uptrend" by 33%  Roll Eyes

No... I'm not really following you...

In case IHBT congratulations  Undecided

I am afraid you are right. Nothing is moving. It is all pretty much dead.  Undecided

Only thing that could possibly save us right now is a big company getting bitcoin adoption started etc.
2455  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: October 11, 2011, 11:47:20 PM
If the SolidCoin sources are actually released, then we'll see the real attacks.

Sounds plausible.
2456  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: October 11, 2011, 11:40:50 PM
So from this non programmers point of view I have learned several things that could easily hurt Solicoin 2.0.
3) Client must communicate with Super node
Where are you getting information about supernodes? Has source or a paper been released?

It is all just rumours ATM, I'm afraid.

OK then I must be a dumb idiot. Please can somebody give a complete set of instructions ( optional ) on how to do this and what compile flags to use ( most important ) for a 2600K to get 4 khash/s per thread.

Thank you !

Run this with gcc-4.6.0 and up compiled and installed
Code:
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-march=corei7-avx -O3 -Wall -msse2 -msse3 -msse4 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -mavx" ./configure
make

Use hyperthreading, you should get ~3.5-4 kh/s per core

Thank you for these lines. Will try them out when I have time and report feedback. Kind of getting tired of SC2. I need to spice it up a little with Tenebrix Smiley

When is laundry coming ?
2458  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: October 11, 2011, 11:38:50 PM
I manage a very successful forum, and despite sometimes I don't agree with some moderation decisions and I could have the last word on the subject I would never take back on my own a decision a moderator took just because users don't like it , even if the moderator was completely wrong. I would be better just removing moderation powers from the moderator if that was to happen.

I for one am thankful the mods here have more humility than to enforce poor decisions.

Me too Grin. Moderation is very good on this forum. Not too strict and not too loose. I for one have taken the role of comic relief in the alternate cryptocurrency subsection and have not got slammed for it Wink Just loving the hate between the SC and BTC people. It really is fun to watch and contribute to this "battle" against the "glorious leader".

Good work forum people.
2459  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: October 11, 2011, 11:35:15 PM
I keep seeing threads popping up about this guy "threatening" alternate cryptocurrencies. Seen a thread he threatened and then he changed his mind not to.

Has any of these threats come through?

As the title says "Solidcoin 2.0 Target Acquired and Terminated". If it is terminated, why is it still being spoke of, that the chain is not doing fine/is doing fine? If it's not terminated, then this guy is full of it?

Don't know what to think of this thread.  :/.

Only cryptocurrency I support is BTC.

If you're gonna promise a threat, fulfill it. Otherwise this is just retarded. I haven't seen one thread stating anyone freaking out e.g."I Can't produce SC, OMG what happened?"

Please enlighten me. So what the fuck is going on here?



Actually pretty much what he said he was going to do, he has. A lot of very knowledgeable forum members seems to consider him factual.

Geist Geld - Two successful attacks
Fairbrix -Reorged the chain and stole over 1700 blocks.
Namecoin - Rumored to have paid off by NMC Dev not to attack
Solidcoin 1 - Scared CH so bad he killed the chain as a precaution after seeing GG hit.
I0C and IXC - Numerous test for 51%, basically killed them
Bitparking - Number 1 suspect in DS attack has every trait of BCX

Coinotron - was working fine, BCX announces attack and three minutes later it shoots to 97% stales and stays there.

This guy has closed down every non BTC exchange at one point or another.

His weapons are mass resources and is apparently someone well connected in the computer industry.

He indicated what he was going to do to SC 20 and did it. He uses pure hashing power applied at the precise times. The only known code exploit was when he used ArtForz Time Travel and had some of his people modify it.

Made the statement last night right before it happened that he bump up SC 20 block generation to 4 per second, it did and stayed there.

Doesn't sound like BS to me.

I can confirm. This guy has got almost infinite power and $$$ and tons of connections in all areas ( he was threatening to downrank solidcoin.info on SEO etc. ). He is dangerous and not just blowing hot air.
