can I mine this with a normal CPU or do I need a $1,000 graphics card with special software on certain ports? I downloaded the GUI about 30 minutes ago and began utilizing the mining feature. I guess 2.1 ghz is worthless?

You can mine with a CPU, but you won't have awesome results. You'll get 4-50 kh/s depending on your processor. Let's just say you can get 12 kh/s, then you would get a couple of coins a day. Probably not really worth it. And within 1-2 weeks you wouldn't even be getting 1FC/day at 12kh/s. If you really want to mine, even for this you would need to pick up a video card... no need to spend $1000 if you have a motherboard with a free PCI-E slot and decent power supply. Then you get pick up a Radeon 7950 for $300 or less. I'm mining with 2 7950's right now and at current difficulty should be able to get at least 200 coins/day. |

Welp, I'll just leave this here.  They are just perfect, best of all so far. |

I finally just went straight to CGminer, and I'm averaging 635 kh/s per card right now. Cards are overclocked to 1100 GPU clock and 1500 mem clock using MSI Afterburner. My settings were copied from the litecoin hardware comparison page: --shaders 1792 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 100 -I 20 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24000 -g 1 |

I took some cues from previous ideas posted here, if there's any reward I hope it's shared. Edit: Thanks for the tip. |

I think it would look cool if you were to get rid of the actual "F" and the bottom fin on the left side, and mirror the top two fins I circled where the "F" was. That way it's like two "F's" facing opposite directions but at the same time making for a nice logo.  |

May have dropped off a few, but nothing terrible. I think I actually started w/1075 then changed it for some reason that I can't recall atm. |

So, everybody else is doing the "round", coin thing ... let's roll! (Concept image only, rough draft). It's saved as a .png at tinypic so no transparency on the edges, white background in place.  FC: 6keX8yc3XhbJipvDGkTEMtsaYR79UnvN9d |

I had no idea what I was going after when I started, but this is what I came up with in the end. There are some trace elements of previous entries, some good ideas in here  - |

I can not do graphics, but I can picture in my head this coin... see on the bottom of the feather there are a few fins that make out an F (forget about the top part of the feather)... further to this... the top fin and bottom stem of the feather look like arms of a Clock........... the roundness of the coin further signifies a clock... why not make the F out of the feathers and the feathers can be the arms of a clock... the clock indicating speed - speed of feather coin.. Also you can make the numbers for the clock around the edges in binary, separated by a ".". so like 1.110.11011.11011100. and so on and so on... anyone want to try to take this image out of my brain and actually try to make something of it? maybe I am thinking too much? |

Anyone can say to me why so many people believe in this currency in particular? There is no exchange at all, and at least 10 other active crypto-currencies.  |
