What, in your opinion are the best CPU coins out there. I value your opinion because I've been reading your posts and you seem to have quite a collection of rare/semi-defunct coins you like to mine. I am quite addicted to collecting these alt coins myself but I try to keep it profitable. That said BBQ seems to have been a fluke and even then, it's not exactly setting the world alight selling for 1 cents a pop right now... It paints a nice story all these dedicated CPU BBQ miners finally receiving a handsome payoff for keeping the faith, but I don't think that is what is really occuring? Let me know what you think.


I don't think Litecoin being rebooted as Feathercoin caused any of my Litecoins to disappear.

If you don't believe me btw I am happy to bet 500 litecoin that I have > 15K YAC stored in my two wallets.

PM'd you! Cheers.

True. I'll add details and stop assuming people can read my mind. I mean, is the CPU mining only thing still a relevant advantage or have people figured out how to get a lot more juice out of their GPU's with it yet? In which case wouldn't that make a re-launch not as good...

Is this normal for Feathercoin right now or should I be worried? This is the first time I have fired up my FC client for days and it's quite a large transaction.

Anything I can do or is it a matter of waiting?

Is it too late to relaunch this coin fairly, at a pre-announced date and time?

And with difficulty not at 0?

I have 20k YAC I mined so I don't care much either way, but it would be nice to see a 'flawless' release for a coin. Has there ever been one?

What does that actually mean though? If a developer brings out a new coin in the future full of innovations and took a year to code what is your objection to him profiting from his hard work?

To be fair I made two separate posts querying what the starting difficulty would be in that topic and to my surprise not a single person responded or picked them up.

Everyone forgets the 'scam' claims in the run up to a coin launching and conveniently stop caring, because they hope they are going to get rich from it. As soon as they don't get rich, out come the pitchforks.

Mined 20k on the first day.

Just put all the trading topics and giveaways in a separate sub-forum. Straight away that is a big chunk of the 'non-content' topics taken care of in a fair way.

People are already starting to ignore coins which don't offer anything new. Royal Coin looks like it gained virtually no traction from it's launch. It's getting harder. A coin has to have a new idea now or 'twist' to get momentum... YACoin did that with the cpu mining thing. Not buying any though, I don't see the cpu mining thing lasting long

Word. I was about to say, wait until media coverage spreads that there is an alternative cryptocurrency which isn't going for 40 cents a coin or 3 dollars a coin, but 70-90 dollars a coin. Will bring lots of attention for sure.

This new pool came out recently - btb.ltcoin.net

I would be interested in this. Why not make a separate topic and see public opinion? Must be other people like me around with nvidia cards that can only mine cpu coins like Yac.

Fontas, you are not.

I couldn't get the windows build to accept more than 8 connections, even when forwarding the port.

Yeah. Mincoin is similar in that regard too. And has a lot of haters. Seems like mincoin, nvc and bitbar have more in common than just scarce supply.

Let's see what the free market prices them at. At the current difficulty only 20 bitbars  are made a day across the entire network... will the price reflect that... check back in 48 hours to find out  

Is this the standard? Doesn't that make this one of the fastest if not the fastest coin?

I don't understand this stuff well, so please explain if I am wrong.

I can tell you hashrate is at least part of it because I've been using every computer in the house to mine it. For me the pattern has been the machines with high hashrate have gotten virtually no orphans, the machines with low hashrate all orphans. That's my experience.

If you guys all posted your hashrate I think you would see the answer staring you in the face.
