Thanks. I just might give it a try then.

I haven't read the whole thread, but just to be clear, you can use other mining software at bitminter, right?

Anybody been earning off this already? Feedback appreciated?
I have not tried it.

The "technology" is definitely outdated by now.  No big loss.
Why do you say that?  Has the Bitcoin protocol changed that much? Smiley


@OP, when might this open sourcing happen?

I should clarify.  What I meant to say is that it is outdated as a wallet service.  Perhaps it could be re-adapted for other purposes.
Fair enough.  Some of the underlying technology might still be adaptable to current uses though.

Might try this pool out.  Only thing it needs is merged mining with Devcoin. (when that is implemented)

After the CPU coins, fairbrix, tenebrix and Litecoin as well as SC2 there seems to be no new coins coming out.  The only new development seems to be the resurrection of ixcoin and i0coin.  Wondering is innovation dead? Sad
As Gavin said in another thread, there isn't a lot of true innovation going on......    it would be neat to see innovation in things like instant transactions, contracts/escrow built in to the protocol, etc.

Guessing has been closed for a while now. Thanks all!

Thus this mean that it is designed to be limited or someone is limiting bitcoins so as to make its value higher than the actual dollar or money??? Do you admit that someone is controlling its flow or hoarding btc so as to make it rare?
The code and protocol, as designed, put a hard limit of around 21M bitcoins total.

What happens then to lost btc?

This guy has an effin' good point; what happens if rich BTC users die and their Bitcoins are lost forever? I never thought about that, but surely somebody else did?
remaining bitcoin raise in price. what happens if i put a ton of gold on the bottom of ocean -> less gold in the world -> higher price.

Cool, say if there's only 1btc left? or 000000000000000000000000000000.1 left ? Huh
You would presumably increase divisibility and price would balance things out.  Practically, that won't happen.  As people figure out how Bitcoin works, they won't let their bitcoin go with them when they die.

Thanks kjlimo. What pool do you use? Or is devcoin.org the only pool (I ask because I can't seem to get the conf. email).

pool.devcoin.org is the only pool to my knowledge.  However, at the market prices, it is likely more profitable to mine other coins (bitcoins/namecoins/i0coins) and simply purchase some Devcoins.
I'd be doing it for the fun, not for profit.

Yes, my conclusions are based on the only factor that matters in bitcoin for 99.9% of the people: profitability.


I am sorry but this quote is going to hurt you in the long run. Merry Christmas
You can make one of the following widgets per day, A or B, which would you choose?

A.  Total cost of production: $10. Selling price: $20. Profit: $10
B.  Total cost of production: $2. Selling price: $4. Profit: $2

I think this tells us a lot about how you think:

The smartest student, I think, is the one who finds the most efficient means of passing any examination or test they come across.

Yes, even by cheating
The smartest student is the one who learns the most.

School is about the acquisition of knowledge, not passing exams or having a high GPA.

Good night.  I'm off to bed.  Merry Christmas to all.
Thanks for sticking around and answering questions. Merry Christmas to you too!

So you basically just hit random (not exactly random) IPs until you find some that respond to the bitcoin protocol?  Interesting idea, and is a good option for when the Bitcoin network is larger.

Sounds good. 

PS. It was fun debating with you.
