Yeah, I totally agree. Let the idiots burn their money with this.

Although,  I still doubt anyone paid him money yet.

I still don't get why he is avoiding a review from someone trusted or at least escrow. If this would be legit he wouldn't have any problems with this.

I would also go for the GPU mining rig.

The reasoning behind this is that you won't be left with unusable door stoppers (talking about the ASICs) if they coin you're targeting will fork.
Another point would be that if you quit mining or find it unprofitable, you can always sell your GPUs to gamers.

This is the appropriate forum for this but it's true, posts here are instantly buried by spam... 

I said that because everyone is thinking of it and it had to be cleared in the OP

Yeah, you're right, I'm not sure how I would have handled it in his place. Definitely would have been my biggest loss ever.
Laszlo seems to be ok with it though. 

Am adaugat o noua moneda care poate fi minata destul de usor. Ea se numbeste OMBRE.

OMBRE foloseste algoritmul CryptoNight Heavy si poti primi pan ala 60 tokeni pe zi cu un hash rate de aproximativ 150 h/s.

Spor la minat

Thanks a lot for the kind words Let me know if you have any issues setting it up.

---

In the mean time, I have added another coin to the main post of this thread: OMBRE
This is a CryptoNight Heavy coin that will get you about 60 tokens/day with a hash rate of 150 h/s.

The pool I'm using right now is: cryptoknight.cc/ombre

theyoungmillionaire found the original BTC transaction and PM'ed me to add it to this post, so here it is: https://blockchain.info/tx/a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d

Looking through it, the first thing I noticed is the fee: 0.99 BTC It's a funny thing most of us wouldn't afford to pay the fee for such a transaction nowadays. 

I run a thread about CPU mining here: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return

I think the best option for you right now would be to start mining with your CPU and avoid making an investment in expensive GPUs.

Yeah, I agree it will ruing the coin even more than it is right now 

I don't get why these guys don't implement ASIC resistance as soon as it is known that people are mining it with ASICs. I mean that should be top priority unless you want the coin to drop in value considerably and also be vulnerable to a possible attack on the blockchain.

I've also created a post about the BTC Pizza day in the Bitcoin Discussion forum but it was instantly buried by shit posters / spammers.

I've found some interesting facts about it, take a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4143199.0  

Ok, I assumed the announcement thread was being updated constantly and that it was recently edited.

Yes, indeed there are some high spikes in difficulty and that could be related to ASICs. I have removed AEON from the list, will add it back when they fork and everything was successful.

I created a post about the BTC pizza day, today. Good way to day dream for a few minutes & relax
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4143199.0

I was basing my post on their announcement thread where they were saying that AEON is ASIC resistant.

In the comments from the git repository I see they are talking about adopting more changes from Monero but maybe it isn't related to the changes regarding ASIC resistance but something else.

Do you know anyone mining it with ASICs?

Indeed this also baffles me, Brad... I also had some servers at that time but was mainly interested in software development and didn't hear about BTC until 2013 but still was skeptical about it...

BTW, I also made a post about the BTC Pizza day in the Bitcoin Discussion forum, did not see this one, but found some interesting facts about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4143199.0

These are very nice stats DdmrDdmr! Merited!  

Another usage of these stats could also be to track down merit abusers. Usually they have a very high sent merit average.
Need to mention that some of the ones that have an average of >100 merits per transaction seem a bit suspicious to me if there isn't an error in there.

I also found my name in the list too I'm the last one in your list though.  

user_from   name   rank   nSentTo   sMeritSent   nTx   avgSent   stdDevSent   cVarSent   NetworkGroup
1268116   vlad230   Full Member   31   32   32   1.00   0.00   0.00   (30..40]

Not sure why my average sent is 0 here. I've only sent 1 merit per transaction so this should say 1, not 0.00

EDIT: I think the formatting is the culprit, it says 1 to my average.

Happy BTC Pizza day, everybody!

I'm not sure if some of you are aware about the famous sale of 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas that went down in our very own BCT forum, right here in the market place: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0

The 10,000 BTC were worth $41 at the time, contrary to popular belief that says it was $0.008 per BTC.

Moreover, laszlo, the person who bought the pizza is still active here (well... kind of anyway, he was last active in Nov 2017). Couldn't find the lucky guy who paid for the pizza though, user jercos isn't present on this forum (maybe it's just a nickname).

So, would any of you like to see how does $82.5 million pizzas look like?  
I did some digging and found the correct & original URL to the photos: http://eclipse.heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/pizza/

To address the elephant in the room, in Dec 2017, the pizzas were worth: $200 million

I have some years under my belt and I know how governments work. Usually, the government is the last to implement new technologies and train their staff on how to use it.

Other than that, governments are the ones who control banks (seems the other way around sometimes though) and there is a blockade going on right now with all of the bans on exchanges or banks that try to avoid working with exchanges. I'm sure you already heard about this though.

Am adaugat o noua moneda care poate fi minata relativ usor. Aceasta se numeste ELYA si poti primi pana la 92 tokeni/zi cu o rata de hashing de aproximativ 150 h/s.

Momentan folosesc pool-ul https://cryptoknight.cc/elya/ pt ca e cel mai popular.

I've added a new coin to the OP, it's called ELYA and you can get about 92 tokens per day with a hash rate of about 150 h/s.

I'm using this pool for it: https://cryptoknight.cc/elya/ as it seems it's the largest available.

Happy mining

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've added Heaven & Alloy on the main post of this thread. Alloy seems to have a custom algorithm called Alloy-Cryptonight. More details here: https://alloyproject.org/

As far as I know, BCN & XDN did not fork and aren't ASIC resistant.

AEON, on the other hand is ASIC reistant: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.0 I've added it.

ETN should fork soon, hopefully - May 30th.
I don't understand why they didn't fork yet, as the majority of ASIC miners have moved to it since Monero forked. See what this lack of action has did to ETN's price...

This thread will be dedicated to CryptoNight  as it is meant to also support my other CN CPU mining guide.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've added STELLITE & ELECTRONERO to the main post
I didn't find any news on BitTube forking, do you have a source for that?

Thanks for the heads up, will include it here as soon as it is confirmed.
