Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Security Text Wizard

I would like to request a bounty be discussed for a text populating wizard/flow that can be used as a standardized generator for security prospectus so more devcoin based securities can be issued on cryptostocks or other sites.
I suggest a 6 then 3 share bounty. Are there any objections, or should anything be changed? Requirements I can think of off the top of my head: 1. The generator must be capable of generating the information for a prospectus for each type of security. 2. There should be input fields to populate each of the items that would need changing on the wizard, such as % for dividends or operation fees and overhead. Edit: 3. The text should be editable from the text fields as the information is populated. Anyone else got ideas. I will think on this some more.

@Raymgiv
energy calculations such as Mhash/J
Once prototype one is ready to go to production we will post these numbers.
Thank you, CoinHasher
I now approve of your methodology.

there is another thread on the forums where someone is discussing this. Last I heard, there is one under development. It is unclear what stage the device is in. The guy building it isn't taking investors or anything, so information is limited to what he decides to reveal.
We are most likely have fpgas shipping in under 4 months. But I cannot get any more accurate than that for now.

So that we can start to salivate with the mental excel spreadsheet that lives in all of us Isn't it the worst when you're in the middle of entering random difficulties and LTC exchange values into your spreadsheet and your brain gives you the BSOD? I call that a hang over ...lol Our aim is to match the common video cards used for mining. For both price/hash, bare in mind we would hvae to add our profit margin on top of it. But we are not done so yeah as you pointed out I wont say "A" word about it until we are absolutely sure of a decent number. Then when that number is announced we will endeavor to make it faster. Rule of thumb is under promise, over deliver. This is our aim in this case.

I am looking into possibly setting up a security like mentioned before similar to how asicminer set theirs up. I have been in contact with someone already about possibly doing the investment group method. So we will see how it pans out and if this is the direction that is best for everyone.
I do want to point out, that no matter what happens, I think it best that these by default be setup for solo mining to avoid a large network majority forming like it has on bitcoin.

WTS 1500$ in BTC for Cash in EUR in Germany (We will be Using escrow) Anyone near munich that can facilitate a in person trade of cash or something similar ?
Will you do trade with an Indian ? through bank transfer using an online Escrow ? That would probably work. Wire transfer to their bank account. Then the bitcoins released from the escrow once this is confirmed (may take a bit longer) but I am willing to go that route. I would be using gweedo for escrow if you would be cool with that.

When we finish the production units we will be publishing full documentation for scrypt/salsa fpga development and hardware implementation.
As for updates, we are making some revisions to the layout this week my dev told me today.
That is absolutely fantastic news! When you are referring to documentation, do you mean you will release the source, including both the software implementation and the hardware implementation including both the schematic and gerber files, all under a GPL or MIT license, or am I possibly misunderstanding something? Regardless, best of luck with this project! Initially, is this being payed for out of your own pocket? If so, that is quite possibly a very risky endeavour, especially if you are paying someone else to do the design! I am sure that the community is extremely thankful for you taking on such a large initial cost. How are you getting around the higher memory requirements for scrypt? Are you soldering DRAM onto the PCB, or will you be using DIMM's, allowing customers to add more memory if they wish? Xilinx or Altera? I cant disclose the details yet, but when we do get production units in hand we will publish whatever we can without endangering our business plans. However, our goal is to grow ltc as a whole so anything we do will be to further that goal.

Also interested in an FPGA board for LTC!
I am also somewhat experienced with Altium for PCB design and I have dabbled in some non BGA FPGA designs. I would be happy to help in any way that I can!
Actually, is anyone here interested in possibly making an open source FPGA litecoin miner? I know next to nothing about FPGA programming, only a tiny smidgen of VHDL/Verilog, and also next to nothing about how to implement a scrypt based miner in any HDL. If we use a a BGA device with a reasonable amount of pins and not a very small pin pitch, then we can even use OSH park for 4 layer PCB's!

I suggest a bounty for the guide.
There are no bounties for writing, because writers are already getting word earnings and eventually advertising. However, this guide is now the first link at: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=earn_devcoins_by_writingand because there are many links to the earn devcoins by writing page, it will be one the most popular pages, and the top link on that page will get many page views, which will translate into a lot of advertising income. Overall bounties are only for work that does not get earnings in any other way. Note, it's not fair to get advertising income way out of proportion to the work involved for a page which people are in practice paid to link to. Any page like that should not be on someone's invoice, and so I removed earn devcoins by writing from mine: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=wiki:user:unthinkingbitI meant more of an instructional review of the site. Were there any remaining bounties for it on devtome.com? If not, I will see what I have left laying around and send some donations to fuzzybear for the review
