For example, if I lookup block 1492 is there any information included with the block in the blockchain that would give the difficulty at the time the block was mined?

Feathercoin still pops up from time to time as being profitable on GPU. The community is even starting to become more active again.

Definitely - Capable of four times as many transactions as Bitcoin in a ten minute period. Frankly if payment processors had adopted Litecoin in the past year current Bitcoin block discussions would be irrelevant (and likely the price of both coins higher). Anyone who has watched these discussions understands the immediate advantage of a network with larger transactional capability.
- Faster confirmation times. The only people who don't think this is important have never spent a single coin or they have patience that the average person does not possess.
- The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks.
- Anti-spam.
- Fast well established network. Current Hashrate is 1,643 GH/s. Since scrypt is memory intensive it is known to be approximately 1000 times slower hardware wise in comparison to SHA256. Fair comparison to the Bitcoin network requires multiplying that hashrate by 1000 (1,643 TH/s). The fact is for most of Litecoins history the hashrate has been relatively high and secure. Those comparing it to the Bitcoin network without considering this 1k factor are either being disingenuous or just ignorant of the facts.
- Continuous development look here at number of releases in past year: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/releases
- Upcoming new features and active development look here for whats happening in 2016:
https://www.reddit.com/r/litecoin/comments/3z2ta1/ama_official_litecoin_developers_and_litecoin/ - Longevity. Many coins have temporarily eclipsed litecoin as they were marketed for the purpose of increasing the fiat accounts of a small group and emptying the accounts of new users. Unfortunately this has been detrimental to crypto-space in general.
- Great community.
- Fully supported by GoCoin a growing payment processor used by thousands of merchants https://www.gocoin.com/
- Liquidity. You can sell thousands and not crash the market. Maintains value.

Maybe its time you stop using web wallets and try desktop wallets such as Electrum, which are much safer than any web wallet. Actually this has been suggested a lot but no body seem to listen.
I dont understand why but I see this all the time. People, dont use web wallets! Large amounts of Bitcoin and/or any coins I want to hold for awhile I keep in paper wallets. Any smaller amounts or what I plan to spend soon I move to wallets on my PC. The only time I keep coins on an online wallet is right after I buy them and they dont stay there long. |

I saw that yesterday, I too like it. It would have been awesome to see this version at the superbowl!

This could be pretty neat!

Maybe you could add a list of pools? I recently setup a p2pool node at http://104.236.34.9:19327/Also maybe update the OP with the newest newsletter? |

What exactly do you mean "ruined your life"? If you play this game smart, no coin can ruin your life. Do not spend what you cannot afford to lose.
Exactly! |

It really surprises me that this has been an idea for so long by so many different people and has yet to be anything usable. Whats the major holdup?
While I like that there are projects out there for the 21 computer, Id like to see this done on a rpi or even windows/linux desktop on the network.

Ive had this same idea and an sort of surprised I havent seen a Bitcoin slot machine like this. (granted I hardly ever gamble so they be around). The machines Ive played on are almost all credit card style machines anyway, there is no physical coins to put in so switching to bitcoin should be simple.

It also depends on what your electric costs the rest of the day. If you only mine for those 9 free hours it'll take a lot of your time (having to start/stop the miner each day, unless you script it) plus youre only mining 38% of a day. You should figure out what it would cost to run a miner 24 hours, including the 9 free hours. It might still be profitable. Or look at buying older hardware for cheap/free and run that only during the free hours.
The problem might become that if you start a big farm of old (free) hardware the power company will realize it and start charging you for the "excessive" use.
the cost during the day is $0.13 a kilowatt. i ran a script of my dear old S1 way back to shutdown as for the power issue i kinda already run about 4 compters at about 650watts each at night and only night for "projects" and they haven't said anything yet So your average price throughout the day should be $0.08 a kilowatt which (if my math is correct) is pretty decent. In my opinion you still have two real options. 1) buy new ASICs which are very efficient and mine 24/7 or 2) buy cheap older gen ASICs and only mine at night. Maybe a third option would be to get both new and old ASICs - mine with newer ones 24/7 and only power the rest up at night. All this mostly depends on the price you can get ASICs for. |

Going to try the new miner soon! Thanks!!

Received. Thank you!  |

It also depends on the model you get. Some have a wallet of their own that you have to manually fill with coins while others can be tied to an exchange. Otherwise Id say you are correct.

Well this depends how your relationship ended. If she cheated on you or did something else that ended it then yeah I agree..she can go pound sand..
Everyone can get the warm feeling about their ex, just remember the reason you're not together and it will go away..My 2 satoshis.
Bingo. but okay. It doesn't matter who did what to make the relationship fail. There was a time when you did love each other so once in a while saying hi is perfectly fine in my book. I would never go back to her because she just never seemed to care about my needs or her own and she had a lot of crazy issues. Her saying hi was okay with me. The fact that she was the bigger person and said hi was really nice. I didn't even think about calling her. I was speaking for my situation, she cheated and because of that I want nothing to do with her. I do still speak to, or at least dont hate, other ex's and past 'flings' so I can see it either way. Depends on the situation. |

If my ex called me to say Merry Christmas, Id tell her to pound sand. That would make me smile.

I have Kodi installed but cant use it to its full potential due to my super slow 1MB internet connection. Bouncing from menu to menu seems to be a bit snappier than mine as well. What model chromebox are you using? And what speed internet do you have?
