Network hashrate increases but difficulty does not?

Network hashrate and difficulty are the same thing.

what if the hashrate is there but not used for block mining?

Then it's not really "there".

hypothetically
It is "there" because the minners have access to it, but they decide not to use it.
just like say in the California Energy Crisis.


Really this is ridiculous.
The hashrate comes from people mining. You can't have hashrate unless you mine.

You can't have light without electricity running through the bulb and you can't have a light bulb working , consuming energy but not producing light.

Lets say that the 5 largest pools decide to take turns in mining blocks, so as to keep difficulty low, thus saving energy costs, and investment costs, while the payoff are still shared among them. They could "fake" or alt-mine or not claiming the block-found, just for appearances paying the energy, but artificially keeping the difficulty low as to slow the hardware arms-race.
Just a thought man, didn't say it will happen

No one will try this stunt.
It's like having 100 tractors and using only 2 of them because if the neighbor does the same you'll still get the same production as him ? 2% of what you should ?

Keeping the difficulty low will just increase the rate of which asics are flooding the market , it will not slow down the race even with 0.00001% but the contrary.
Also , it will take a lot of planning , and a lot of trust to pull this , and what are you going to do with the parties that are not in the plan?
They will just mine your blocks and make profit while you are happy the difficulty is low.

There is no trace of common sense in this plan.

Big development is happening at the moment, a lot of changes coming up, anyone that has dumped this coin will be very sorry.

What did you expect that it will stay at 20 cent each? No it cant stay there, it was normal that it will settle down after 1500% increase.

It will slowly increase as the development is happening, every day this coin is mentioned on various media sites, it was on TV recently, more and more porn sites is accepting this coin.

Sources?
Or it's just another pathetic try to pump the last breath out of this coin?
Should I remind you how many porn sites and payment providers for adult websites have recently adopted bitcoin?
About sexcoin.... nothing.

Some sources to back your statement please.
14223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: With over 340 different cryptocurrencies out there, which is your favorite? on: January 16, 2014, 04:02:05 PM
My least favorite is BTC: too inflated right now. We need to move away from the one coin standard. The more healthy coins there are, the better the entire cryptonetwork will be.

That said

I have

Megacoin
RonPaulCoin
DogeCoin
Litecoin
Bitcoin
Unobtanium
WorldCoin
and
PeertoPeerCoin


all picked as winners.

That megacoin will skyrocket. Mark my words. Kimoto invented the gravity well. Where would we be without gravity? Floating into space. Think about it.

These all have that extra something others don't ltc/btc are standards, megacoin has the meganame and megaservices coming in 2014. Dogecoin is very currency much mainstream.

Unobtanium is just the coolest name for anything ever.

RonPaulCoin has my pick for best name, best ideological coin... but... the dev is screwy, the difficulty is out of whack.

Healthy coins?
Btc is too inflated?

Have you ever looked at the graphs ? All the coins follow BTC , when the BTC hype was tempered in May most clone coins went to hibernation , when bitcoin resumed it's growth in December alts started popping again.
Healthy?  Make a list of the shops accepting alternate coins. Tell me if you reach the second page while I can finish a book doing the same for bitcoin.

There are no alts , only clone coins with wet dreams supporters.

Pure morning FUD.
I thought China was buying all the coins , now the Ukrainians are taking over?

Take a look at quarkcoin , they have a pool with 97% of the hashrate and nothing happens Smiley))
14225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Say bitcoin eventually reached 100k per. How much do you think transaction fees on: January 16, 2014, 02:50:31 AM
How much they will cost ?... like what?

One transaction? there will be always free transactions space in each block. I doubt they will go over 30-50 cents for so called mandatory fee ones.

Overall transactions fees per day? It will depend on how many transactions per day will be made and god knows how many of those there will be.

Also the republic of Congo will choose FellatioCoin , get it while it's....fresh?hot?sticky?

14228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: With over 340 different cryptocurrencies out there, which is your favorite? on: January 16, 2014, 02:13:11 AM
Only 340?I'm really amazed there are only that many. Smiley

But I bet we can count 500+ crap coins by the end of January.

14231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][EXN] Exilecoin | A coin with purpose on: January 16, 2014, 02:02:40 AM
Only 63 MH/s Network hashrate.
Cheap coins  Grin

Cheap coins might remain cheap for a long time , before getting ....worthless.
The coin with a purpose seems a bit dead at the moment.

Why did you create a new thread just to post links to your website when there is already a better article on this already posted here:

Devs are not interested on taking that 1% but thank you for the offer.
LOL - must be 4% or more right?
They say they will give it ALL away.. all 9,880,000 of em! so why mine when the giveaways are gonna be huuuuuuuge..
Can someone please post their peerinfo. I cannot get synced.

14235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains? on: January 16, 2014, 01:25:07 AM

~60 coins excluding bitcoin & litecoin tried recently/used presently - 19GB of the plain 2.5" 5400RPM hard disk (to lower the power usage).
All daemons of PoS coins are running 24 hours a day plus some daemons that are not transited to leveldb. When I have to reboot the box for some reason and I want to start all of them then the whole startup takes more than a hour - daemons are started one by one to avoid too much concurrent use of the disk during index loading Smiley




Have you ever checked how much bandwidth those clients require /day?
I was surprised when I checked Kluge's post:

Free bitcoins ? NO.
Free satoshis? Probaly yes.

Don't expect to earn 900$ worth of coins for free.
14237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digibyte replace Doge? on: January 16, 2014, 01:16:23 AM
I'm newbies Grin,
 you do not believe that the Digibyte replace the Doge? I see they've opened many new pool and that the rate of pay is excellent. I also added as a payment method in my new site. am I doing wrong? Smiley

Nothing will replace dogecoin.
Dogecoin might die , there will be tons of alt coins , each biting a piece of the pie left but none will take entirely it's place. All doge has it's the meme and that can't be taken away.
14238  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Poll: Gambling or Investing? on: January 16, 2014, 01:08:09 AM
Isn't investing just an educated gamble anyway?

Investing is just a cover for gambling addicts.
But it does sound a lot better indeed.

Something like saying you're a vegetarian while wearing a fur coat.
14239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains? on: January 16, 2014, 01:01:37 AM
30gb

Wow , things are getting interesting.
Can you come back in  20 - 30 days and post how this number has evolved?

I don't think it's that hard if you consider bitcoin also. I have 25GB if I count all the wallets/coins I have - 19 total. Bitcoin is the large one - my folder is 15.5GB.

Only 9.5GB with alternatives.

How many of those 19 are your running simultaneously ?
14240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Super secure hashing | CPU mining on: January 16, 2014, 12:57:05 AM
Maybe already asked or dumb question, but if there are already 247M of coins mined, what we are mining now is the yearly inflation?

* Total of 247 million QRK will be mined in ~ 6 months, after that ~ 1 million QRK p.a. (~ 0.5% p.a inflation)

Current block value is 4 QRK



There are more than 247 million  coins to be mined , it's 247 4xx xxx or something if i remember correctly not 247 000 000. Then inflation kicks in.
