This is going to get lost amongst the demands for adding a new coin, but can the number format be made uniform between currencies. If you take a look at cryptsy, for example all prices are formatted so that the digits all the way down to 1 satoshi are shown. For example 1 doge is 0.00000126 on cryptsy at the moment. You could format the bitcoin price of all currencies as 8 digits after the decimal place, and this would be more uniform than breaking into scientific notation for the lower valued coins.
Which is more legible to you in a table of prices?
0.00000126
or
1.266e-06 BTC
I'm not sure where you get the extra decimal place from. Is that due to the averaging?
Thoughts? |

Has your email been hacked? Change the password on your email and your exchange accounts, don't use the same password anywhere else.
Use two-factor authentication on exchanges where available.
Use an ad-blocker on your web browser (malware can be installed through ads). Reinstall your OS and install antivirus. I also recommend linux, but I use windows as well.
Don't use online services to store your bitcoin. If you do, enable two-factor authentication!

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Concept for Torcoin
|
on: March 13, 2014, 11:27:14 AM

Sorry to ressurect a dead thread, but this guy has used torcoin as an example of a "business model for open-source software". http://startupboy.com/2014/03/09/the-bitcoin-model-for-crowdfunding/The Tor network is slow because it relies on volunteers to relay traffic. Anytime we see a line, the product in question is underpriced. Let’s crowdfund a Torcoin – users of relays will pay in Torcoins and operators of relays will get paid in TorCoins. Founding developers collect equity when TorCoins are first mined and sold. Non-founding developers and network operators are paid revenues from newly mined coins and transaction fees.
Can we just use Bitcoin instead of Torcoin? Isn’t money supposed to be fungible to all use cases? Perhaps not – Bitcoin’s transaction speed is too slow for a dynamic network allocating bandwidth – 10 to 60 minutes is far too long to negotiate with a relay. And payments have to be anonymous. So a fast-clearing (Fastcoin can clear a block in 12 seconds), fully anonymous (likeZerocoin) variant is needed.
I can imagine exit nodes somehow generating coins by their 'proof of exit', and internal nodes by 'proof of onion'. |

The fact that they never said: "Your coins are safe." or "We're solvent." speaks loudly!
Not really, a company wouldn't want to have to even entertain those doubts. Imagine the headlines: "MtGox denies it is insolvent". |

It looks like ypool has found 98 out of the last 100 blocks, (they didn't get 4091, 4124). Currently at block 4171. Not very decentralised.
If I was ypool, I would pay Gatra not to release the p2pool software.
Well ... I guess this not how it works ... People (normally) see the good in things. The pool guys might have thought about it, but ethics, education (and even a good parenthood) teaches you the opposite, which in turn is good for society (or community in our case, because we are a 'special' subculture of the society). I'm not saying that's what they did, I'm sure Gatra has plenty to do. However I think the time has passed that a coin with a new proof of work can be released without also providing some pool code, preferably p2pool, because it's decentralised. |

2 blocks to go
Yep and diff goes up to 460. It will be hard. Difficulty is still 1. Is there another way to check diff or is it not adjusting properly? $ riecoind getinfo { "version" : 80600, "protocolversion" : 10070001, "walletversion" : 60000, "balance" : 0.00000000, "blocks" : 590, "timeoffset" : -30, "connections" : 8, "proxy" : "", "difficulty" : 1, "testnet" : false, "keypoololdest" : 1392160255, "keypoolsize" : 101, "paytxfee" : 0.00000000, "errors" : "" } |

What is the Most Profitable CPU Mined Coin you say let me answer that for you.
first of Just want Huge thanks to btc-mike i've been checking this thread like every day! I like the fact you put up what you think of the Coins Like
High Risk CPU-Only AltCoins and such any way just want to say a huge thanks and keep up the good work.
I tested the more popular coins you have listed and posted the results
Please let me know if you have any other Tests or coins you think are better will be happy to test on my hardware and post the results for everyone
i prefer coins that have exchanges already setup
You used a new i7-3930k for Memorycoin and an old i7-960 for the other coins. You are comparing apples and oranges. You also said Protoshares had zero earnings, without bothering to say what the estimated earnings would be. Memorycoin may be the most profitable, but you should at least make it clear at the start of the review that an old i7 won't work for MMC. |
