haha, I love that the (AltCoin) button in the top menu says 山寨币 "copycat coins" in chinese

i hope he misspelled the name as well and it's actually baconcoin or bacoin... there might be some interest then

I can't even find a withdrawal function anywhere on that site. D:

so much demand

Future? Nothing shouts future more than a digital coin designed to look like an ancient coin with an old geezer on it

this is my .conf file, works fine for me. your "=" characters look a bit different than mine in your screenshot, but that might just be my eyes.

The rest is good - but the difficulty adjustment doesn't really work and you don't need to be in China to have the best ping by a long shot.

26000 blocks are what, 9 days of mining? after 3 hours?

add the reason "it's a CPU coin".

It was a mixture of the fact that you had to look for new miner releases daily and had to tune arcane parameters all the time  the fact that you are basically competing with botnets and cpu server farms which are still more numerous than GPU farms and you have the reason why a cpu coin will have difficulties maintaining value.

Also, for parameter tuning, instead of collecting parameters for different CPUs somewhere (as is the case for GPUs in litecoin/bitcoin wikis, but probably took some time until those were available as well), it was every greedy man for himself. Mining primecoin was a lot more work than any other recent coin, while you were competing with botnets.

all botnets do is dump immediately, the same as ASIC miners do for bitcoin since their chips are worth their price in metal otherwise.

wow, almost feels nostalgic. so the "low difficulty forever, best ping gets all"-scam does still work! just like in good old chinacoin days (and the scamcoins in the weeks after).

do you use the $125 bitcoin value from bitstamp for this? I don't see the trades dropping below 12000 XRP/1 BTC inside the ripple client, ever, which at $139 gox weighted average would be 0,0115 USD per Ripple. Also far more than this site reports: http://www.rippleprice.com/

ah, well, yes, just replace "cgminer" with "reaper".
did you actually check at some pool? if the pool actually gives you the coins for a hashrate of 1200 kh/s you might have the best 5970 in the world. I just want to rule out that it's a simple display error on reaper's side.

offer paypal/cc and I'll buy one. Don't and I won't. Simple as that.

how can this shit be legal

report what the pool web GUI says, don't believe cgminer

don't give up, things like this usually don't get the attention they deserve around here. you're in the pump and dump forum, should go to the miner's forum. I think this is one of the most interesting threads here right now - sadly I don't have the time to look into he code right now over the next few weeks. Hope I'll find some time later. Very, very interesting. Hope you get some more able programmers on board.

sounds like my grandma won't be using ripple anytime soon

"can I get coins without mining somehow"

- "yes, finshaggy, you can simply release a wallet stealer by only providing compiled binaries"

- "ohhhh!"

your kernel might work for my cards then, I guess? Shouldn't it work for all 7950s (I suppose that yours are 7950s).

I also wonder if those cards are actually lemons or whether they are just overwhelmed by being the primary display card at the same time. For my 3x7950 rig, I can switch the cars any way I want, the one being the display card will always hash slower and require more voltage to not "get sick".

bitcoin
namecoin, i0coin, groupcoin, ixcoin (merge mined @ http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool)
freicoin
ppcoin
bytecoin (merged mining in the works)

recently:

zetacoin (the only "our asics have to ROI now!!!" coin that succeeded by making everyone's ASICs ROI)
tigercoin (tried to make ASICs ROI even more but hasn't succeeded yet, worthless on coinex)
tekcoin (again, but the dev gives zero fucks and it looks oh so very dead, might never go to any exchange)
Ocoin (will probably go to exchange one point, might be as "profitable" as tigercoin though)
ASICcoin (doesn't even conceal the fact that it wants ASICs to ROI even more - probably for ASIC people that are sad they missed the zetacoin train. however, everyone smelled the bacon and it's been rather worthless until now on coinex)


-> summary: it looks like people won't want to feed recent asic owners any more free money than they did with zetacoin, so you might as well just go with the bitcoin pool that gives you the smallest stalerate while merge-mining as many coins as possible and revel in the fact that your asics most likely will never ROI. At least that way you'll get the most out of them.


Going on hashcows etc. is probably not really worth it, as ASICs 1000000 times bigger than your erupters swoop down on any of these coins once they are more profitable than BTC on coinchoose for a split second and rape it beyond saving.

These sound like they might not be hardware dependant? Can you write a script that automatically does this for the given thread concurrency (etc.) parameters, i.e. simply improve the kernel-building function of cgminer?

aren't the lines of code you have to change always the same, just with different numbers? or do the lines actually change with the given graphics card architecture? are yours 7950 radeons? What cgminer settings were optimal for your cards before?

i.e. mine are
-g 1 --thread-concurrency 24000
for sapphire OC 7950s.
