Given the US is something of a rogue state at the moment, I'd happily direct my BTC elsewhere, such as the EU.

Could something like this be adapted for other BOINC applications, like climate change modelling? Don't get me wrong, I can see the potential in protein folding, but would be nice if people could have a choice as to where they would like to direct their GPGPU processing and still get rewarded.
gridcoin already does this Fair enough |

Connected to USD and BTC...
Mostly to BTC. For now anyway. Once they get a few more merchants accepting Litecoin as payment, it will become more decoupled from BTC. |

Please stop, your constant nagging tires me. I am aware of miner releases, and I take my time to thoroughly test them before I release them. Neil If the releases can be git-pulled in the miner and updated accordingly, it's kind of pointless having those announcements. |

Vircurex and Crypto-Trade will gain more from this, IMO, being the next biggest exchanges in size for these coins. Wouldn't touch BTC-e with a 10-foot barge pole nowadays.

Crypto-Trade are fairly reliable. The last couple of times I've had a deposit sent to MCXNow from mining pools, they've vanished completely, so I'm wary of using them for the time-being.

Done and sent the amount for the USB heatsinks last night as well (BTC0.06, transaction id:113f0ba2fa6095da884dc142b2ac612a3d67fd22f29a6c5581a4a1197fcf4ef9)

Curecoin, from a pragmatic and ethical point of view in terms of more meaningful output vs just mining to secure a blockchain. Peercoin will also be up there due to being the first with proof of stake and having an active development team behind it.
What are the differences between Curecoin and Primecoin? Curecoin incorporates protein folding using GPU processing as a complementary component to ASIC mining, whereas Primecoin finds prime numbers. Could even run both simultaneously. |

The most original coin of late! Keen to fold and mine this one when it starts.

Just stay away from altcoins all together.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. |
|

|

Just a quick question as well, do the USB Drillbits require heatsinks as well? If so, I'll send through the required amounts ASAP.

Nice! I just sent a payment through for a second thumb bit, and PMed you the transaction ID.

Some time towards the end of the month, as a conservative estimate. Partially hinges on BTC still rising, but an update to version 0.4 would help immensely.

"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one."
He is not getting any substantial donations to maintain the scrypt code and GPU mining is pretty much dead.
It is the correct decision IMO.
Are you seriously suggesting that nobody is mining altcoins? Just because GPU mining BTC isn't profitable doesn't mean shit. Hell, even with the drop in price, Litecoin mining can still net you a couple hundred a month with just two GPUs. Also, don't many ASIC miner rigs come with their own built-in mining software? Anyway, I highly doubt that maintaining and even tweaking scrypt support that is only a thousand lines of code is so arduous as to require substantial donations, but that is his choice. Someone will pick up the slack. cbuchner1 has his own CUDAminer for nVidia cards at the moment, so it wouldn't be too much of stretch for someone else to do a dedicated miner for AMD cards that is more optimised for them rather than a catch-all program like cgminer. I also imagine once the Scrypt FPGA miners start being released soon, more attention might given to developing dedicated scrypt miners for them as well. Personally, I'm waiting on the development of a USB stick scrypt miner that I saw in another thread somewhere, so I don't have to run my PC 24/7 and could possibly delegate to my Raspberry Pi. |

I imagine quite a few Indians wanting to send money back to their families in India from Australia would see the benefit in using Bitcoin as a lower fee means of transmitting it.

Probably hiding in his mountain fortress guarded by highly skilled ninjas, just waiting for the fiat-to-price ratio to reach a pre-determined level.

In an ideal world, it'd be trading a bit closer to a minimum of 0.25BTCs per coin, reflecting supply ratios and the quartered block time.
If this happens, this will only be at a moment that the market for crypto is getting saturated. We are still miles away from that moment. Bitcoin will have a lead for a long time (5 years and more). If you are betting on this implied factor (of 17 at this moment), prepare to hold LTC for a very long time. Yeah, will be a long time before that happens. Then again, if the difficulty of Litecoin starts spiralling upwards, what's to stop miners selling their coins at higher prices to offset mining costs, particularly the larger ones who have access to way more processing power than the average person mining on a video card on their home PC? |
