For that price, only the 280x (last one) and you're taking risks. The 270x's and 7870 aren't worth more than 120-130€ for mining

Eu vou repetir...
Todo o hardware é até 300€ e para entrega em mão em Lisboa. Por favor, nesta thread não façam ofertas de hardware que está no estrangeiro, organizem group-buys onde não se candidatam a entregar-me o hardware em mãos e apenas receber nesse momento, ou outras onde se tem que enviar à cabeça o dinheiro para algum lado e ficar a rezar que entreguem

Unfortunately it is normal, if you use Bitcoin-qt. If you use a light wallet like Multibit or Armory, it is not.
Perhaps you could use a disk defrag program to improve performance of your \users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin folder

Honestly, I think it's an insane waste of computing power. Even just considering GPUs/ASICs, which are limited to parallelizable computations -- there are a LOT of good scientific applications that people have figured out ways to parallelize. (See, for example, the grid computing project Boinc: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) Why did the Bitcoin creators pick solving SHA-256 hashes over, for example, SETI@home? SETI@home predates Bitcoin. Primecoin and its derivatives are at least doing something sort of useful. But still, finding Cunningham chains is about as close to the line of uselessness as you can get without falling over it... Because 1) Boinc projects are not suitable for ProofOfWork (hard to find, easy to validate); 2) Boinc projects were/are centralized; 3) The Bitcoin creators 4 years ago did not anticipate and are not responsible for today's "insane waste of computing power" You should look at Curecoin for such an effort |

Same here. It's rare though.
There have been spikes in demand and they are over capacity.

That setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 is not inside cgminer.conf, but a command at the cmd.exe prompt
Inside the config file, use:
"intensity" : "20",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "24000"
"gpu-threads" : "1",
or
"intensity" : "13",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192"
"gpu-threads" : "2"
alongside the remaining settings

Tut tuting Europeans eager to assuage their broken pride by bitching at US is really just digging their own graves. We both have much to deal with in this world other than quarreling between those who are practically cousins in terms of culture, demographics (get rid of those muslims first), etc.
I hope europeans are smart enough to know they should not be alienating US purely out of some need to compensate for their lack of strength on world stage.
Some (hopefully not most) European men are eunuchs that run away scared if they see a pack of muzzies harassing a girl in their countries. I'm very well aware that women would be safer if guys from Texas or Alabama abounded in some places of Europe  The "lack of strenght on the world stage" is something that doesn't concern most, people despise colonialism now. Not everyone wants to be influential in the Middle East or Asia. HOWEVER everyone wants to be influential inside their own country. Which isn't easy for European countries that are not much more than de-facto vassals of the U.S. (like Germany, U.K. and a few others) |

... pretending the people of a region are to be held accountable for the actions of those governments who have power over them as if those people were personally involved in creating the worst parts of the history of the region in which they reside?
This is not particular of the U.S., but people of a region ARE to be held accountable for their governments actions, at least when dealing with 3rd countries. Sure, except that is true exactly nowhere on the planet. The only time it is true is immediately after a popular revolution before the power vacuum fills with the next wave of corruption. One thing that you will learn as you travel the planet is that individuals typically have very little to do with what their political overlords are doing "in their name". For what it's worth, I LOL'd at the "elect Ron Paul" stuff. Even if he had support of 60% of US he would lose every national election without support of the banks or the military. Politics doesn't work the way you think it does. If you paid much attention to the last election, even the Republicans shunned RP. When he would win or even come in second on a Republican primary race, he would not be even listed in the Republican news. The Liberals laughed at it too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B0QPcoTZg8It was something the alternative media from both sides could bond over... http://www.infowars.com/jon-stewart-on-the-media-ignoring-ron-aul/Ron Paul is one of the better proofs of the point I was making as to why you can not really hold any individual folks in a region responsible for what their government is doing. You would be more likely to find a Ron Paul supporter than an Obama supporter in very large areas. One is a political nobody, and the other is the leader of the free world. You have the American ochlocratic democracy to thank for that, and mobs are far too easy to manipulate. The best you can hope for is a sane and rational local politician. And I mentioned Ron Paul as a sort of "passing by" example. Let me try another one: we can say that it was Bush and Cheney that campaigned for the invasion of Iraq. However the media set up polls in their websites to check if Americans were pro or against invasion. The results in 2003 were clear: the people was pro-invasion. How are these not co-responsible for the chaos in Iraq afterwards? |

Regarding anti-Americanism stated above ... Nobody would be anti-anything if your rednecks (and your liberals too) would mind just your own business. Since when it's your damn business to meddle into how Russia deals with gay propaganda towards children, or if people in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe are socialist?
Who's anti-India or anti-Brazil? They don't invade other countries or threat others as vassals of the empire. They don't force their views and culture down other people's throats. However, there are still today anti-Russians, anti-Japanese and anti-Germans for good reasons.
In short: if you even care that some have anti-American stances, you know what to do and not to do.

This is not particular of the U.S., but people of a region ARE to be held accountable for their governments actions, at least when dealing with 3rd countries. If you don't want to be held accountable for droning people or being in a police state or economic meltdown, elect Ron Paul. If I don't want to be called a PIIG in the Anglo/financial media, I elect and campaign for more responsible politicians. If a Muslim does not want to be mocked and called terrorist, don't vote for Mohameed Morsi or work for the Saudi or Iranian status-quo... |

The coin being crap or not has nothing to do with the gibberish written on it's website. You guys should try for a change to write in other people's native language ...

There's this one to signup: csc.botpool.net
However when I pointed the miner to it a few days ago, the pool was dead

- Try these binaries and pick the corresponding thread-concurrency: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6058.0- Use -g 1 -I 20- See if overclocking ram actually gives you more hashrate. The 7870 XT/LE are the fastest at precisely 1500MHz ram. Anything different triggers higher ram latencies. I suspect that the XFX's Vrams are too slow/latency too high ... - After finding the fastest stable ram clock, you have to tweak the core speed for the best core/memory ratio. That depends on the .bin you pick from step 1, but it's from 55 to 70% (Start at 60% and go up). If for example you manage to get the vram to 1700MHz, look at 900-950 for core and go up step by step |

Don't use it, then ...
Obviously, Wikipedia is not the place to learn if you're after some ideologically loaded topics. Otherwise it's fine

That said, in 2 years I still can unload my graphics cards to gamers at 60+% purchase price if I'm patient. And then there's the granularity. I can get cards as gradual add-ons starting at 50€ upto 600€ range, new or used, tweakable, with decent hash rates
Well if the Scrypt ASIC becomes real, not long and mining with GPUs becomes unprofitable Well, it depends on how much those mining units will cost upfront, how low can one undervolt GPUs, how many new alts are released, etc... |

Well damn...
If it's true I'll be cranking my GPUs hard for the new few months until these come out -- ASIC introduction into Bitcoin caused a 100-fold increase in valuation, I would be surprised if we don't see a big increase with Litecoin too. This is 0.00738 W/KH/s versus 0.300 W/KH/s for a GPU -- a 40.7 fold increase in efficiency. This is about the same increase in efficiency as compared to BTC when ASICMINER first introduced its chips; I'm curious to see how they did it. GPUs can be made more efficient though. A 7870 undervolted to 0.95V, hashing at ~410 Kh/s and pulling 5A from the 12V rail, consumes 0.145 W/Kh. |

SHA/Scrypt hybrid
If if this where possible, I'm not absolutely sure maybe it actually is (but I don't think so), it would not make any sense to develop such a thing. It definitely would be inferior and more expensive than a specialized device. Sure its possible and likely already here. Correct me if I'm wrong but the LTC network alone jumped by 50% in a matter of days, some weeks ago. Feathercoin, Novacoin and others are also turning into giants. A ASIC that can mine scrypt and sha? I doubt it. I don't think the approach is to mine both on the same chip. From what I've seen somewhere, there was a system with multiple SHA asics, some GPUs and ram. That said, in 2 years I still can unload my graphics cards to gamers at 60+% purchase price if I'm patient. And then there's the granularity. I can get cards as gradual add-ons starting at 50€ upto 600€ range, new or used, tweakable, with decent hash rates |

I wouldn't underestimate the U.S. either. Very unpredictable team across multiple World Cups
