Mining was worth mining only on GPU  about 2 years ago...

Yes there are software that are less agresive on gpu usage that can allow you to do desktop work and even gaming while the rest of the GPU is mining.

GPU mining will soon be something of the past,

I did purchase BLFs by selling BTC at ~6$ because I had all of my money invested into BTC.

There's always a cost in having money tied into something, This time the lost opportunities are MASSIVE !

The expected generation output, from 1000 Mhps, at current difficulty 3438908.96015914, is 0.1462 BTC or 1.80$ per day @ 12.33$ 
so using loyalty point currently pay 38% more.

Has the 95 -> 97% been fixed for those who sent more than 1m share a week ?
569  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Huge difficulty spike after Halving -- coincidence? on: November 28, 2012, 08:37:42 PM
The increase in difficulty started before the halving. The halving was supposed to be at 1pm, and it got pushed up 3 hours overnight.

I don't think it's ASICs, it's people turning on their dusty miners for a shot at history.

Many people will continue mining in spite of non-profitability. Some do it because they believe in bitcoin, others because they believe bitcoin price will rise and justify their actions (this is actually wrong because they could instead just buy some bitcoin if they think price will rise). Meanwhile, on the price side of things, you can really only expect it to rise at most at a rate that would eat through the order book at half the average volume.

I do both, I mine and I buy because I know BTC will rise in price... better than buying stock.. IMO...

What do you do for diner ?

/Seriously,  Do you really think a sufficient number of miners care much about finding the last 50btc block to affect hashrate in any visible way ? It has very little historical value, the chance of finding is extremely small, It require that you mine Solo,  90%+ of miners don't.  GPU mining is still profitable for many, but it as not profitable enough to restart a mining farm for less than a day.
570  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Huge difficulty spike after Halving -- coincidence? on: November 28, 2012, 07:47:55 PM
I have really cheap energy 0.07Kw/h and I will continue mining.. my goal is long LONG term so I dont care about halving.. I care about hoarding...but eventually, when 2Ghash make less than .20 BTC per day, then I might upgrade to sopmething different...
Smiley
So you're the cause of the spike ? Good to know.

Seriously, There was ~18 block in the time it's supposed to take for 9, this could be an extra ~20ghs in a relatively small time span.

Instead of burning fiat,
Print a shit load of real looking fiat bills with on it ; "Freshly printed", a troll face, 2012 Bitcoin halving celebration day.

Then spread it all around town so people can find them.

Here is 1st report from PKF (Liquidator)
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2479243/Liquidators%20First%20Report.pdf

Edit : Mistake ? They have subtracted owed USD from estimated USD value of owed BTCs ...

It's as if they intended to pay owed USD by selling BTCs and that's it.

I did not receive any reply to my April inquiry.

I'm not sure who to ask again.

I herein pledge 30$ worth of BTC to TrueCrypt if they make it visible as a donation option.  Anyone willing to pool their donations ?

...
We would also appreciate feedback from investors on whether they would prefer to receive a distribution in the form of Bitcoins (where possible) or whether they would prefer a straightforward cash distribution. We are still seeking to determine what options are available to us at law, and will let investors know in due course.
...
I've lost so much to incompetency,
I think you should keep our BTC in an escrow while you sort things out and demand AML details for USD who could become subject to a claw-back.

USD stay in USD, BTC stay in BTC.  I really wouldn't want to risk loosing more through your use of BTC exchanges.

Appart from reading the source is there any document that explain distribution ?

How many PPC per block ? How many block per Hours expected ?, How many block per rediff ? Halvings, ?

I'm trying to figure out ROI of POS but can't even find the details for POW.

Shouldn't that be in the ppc-paper.pdf ?

Check this project, maybe this is what you are looking for -->
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=105506.0

That is an open transaction client, which has nothing to do with alt coins. It is for a decentralized exchange.

Sorry gweedo, I thought you looking for a alternate cryptocurrencie client.
He is, He's just not looking for a "decentralized exchange".

I herein pledge 1 BTC.

v0.2.2 has been released. This release has made some improvements to the qt gui for stake transactions. Although official gui builds are not yet supported, those users who build qt gui themselves should find the new version much more usable.
What's so wrong with providing a GUI for PPC ?

Should be released to people with legit intents.

How many people here live in close range ?
