Hi there!

What’s happened with week 12 payouts?

I think it is reasonable to stay with 485 GH/s. We will lose a lot of haspoewer now at lower difficulty if you send the boards, and if we get them, it only adds 60~70 GH/s after all. And maybe it will burn in later too.

Yep, IMHO it is completely reasonable to increase the fee because we get more gigahashes now than planned too.

And thanks again, Waldo, for your excellent management.

Thanks, Waldo, for all the job you are doing!

May all the problems be overcome and may all your wishes be accomplished spontaneously and without effort!

Wow!

So, it is 10/15 and we have not got our miners yet.

We are all doomed

Go Vlad! Go!

Woo-hoo!

Before October 15, says the latest announcement from KnC.

ASICMINER had an offer several weeks ago where you could order 1 USB Block Erupter at BTC0.1 for every Erupter you had previously ordered with them.

Kind of stupid to offer to sell BTC to China at a price higher than you can buy them in China. There are several exchanges and BTC price is usually 10% lower than Mt.Gox. And you can withdraw the funds very easily and cheaply too, no need to pay crazy Western Union fees.

Can’t see anything in the photos. Isn’t is supposed that the device to be sold should be shown in them?

Those USB sticks and Japapeños are useless with current difficulty.

I think you should create another SHA-256 coin for those poor miners with USB sticks

BFL won’t deliver anything as promised. Now they sell preorders for a 600GH/s device and even if they ship on time (which is highly doubtful), by Novermber the market will be flooded with 400GH/s devices from KnC and maybe HashFast and others as well, so by the time that 600GH/s gets out it probably will have the same mining rate as Jalapeños now, which means no ROI.

AsicMiner and BFL are dead.

I CPU mined 49 NUG overnight and sent them to Vlad for the entertainment he provides.

Thank you, I’ll try it.

Good day!

Recently, I have received on one of my wallets 50 satoshis payment from an unknown address, which might be used to find out my other Bitcoin addresses if I spend them. I am using Bitcoin-Qt for the address that received the payment.

My question is the following:

Provided I keep my payments are always rounded to 5 digit can I guarantee that those 50 satoshis transaction never gets spent?

Are there any other ways to isolate these coins, maybe send them specifically to another address?

More suitable for “Revelations” section really.

I admit I have certain lack of understanding of the reason new cryptocurrencies being churned out like shit. And therefore I pose questions to creators of cryptocurrencies about how exactly their currencies achieve the stated goals. Be it a crapcoin from crazy guy Vlad2Vlad or CureCoin which, as it seemed to me at the first glance, postulated using hashing for some useful goal while in fact wasting it for scrypt exactly like all LTC clones do.

Thanks for the meaningful answer Vorksholk, I now get the idea. Good luck with it!

And please do add BOINC support when you have free time.

And what are the benefits of producing a currency? (which, like every cryptocurrency, is not backed by anything and can’t get value without additional effort) Why not mine BTC and give rewards to those who are folding in an established currency that already has value instead?
