[ANN] Catcoin - Scrypt meow!

[loader140]

I think they are real as they have added their shop in manchester (UK) so you could walk in there if you really wanted too, so I think they are real

and yeah still got over 1/2 a year mining if they are for real

Has anyone even been in touch with these people from Alpha Technology? I know they're posting in a thread on Litecointalk.

There's a thread on Alpha Technology on litecointalk.org

If it's true though, GPU mining is f***ed.

Asics for scrypt? seems like bs.

It's not inconceivable. The main reasons Scrypt can't be ASIC mined is because I believe that you need a lot of fast access memory on the chip to be able to do Scrypt calculations. As others have pointed out however, if it could be done, why hasn't China done it already?

Asics for scrypt? seems like bs.

That's my initial reaction too. And to be honest there's too many red flags in that thread that I would throw money at that company. And scammers inside cryptocurrency, yeah like, that'll be the day  

Best advice I have gathered so far inside this world is: Trust no one!

F@&K SAKE, great time to make scrypt as tough as SHA-256 bye bye GPU mining Q2/3 of 2014 :/

....

But they have been online for about a year now so I think they are quite serious in it, either way the rich get richer and the poor get screwed again  

But wait even we will have ASIC for script then Doge should be all most mined out haha .
That is way to win race with good PR that coin can be worth many and widely use more that even with Litecoin.
Asic will just help Doge transaction to be fast.

Pounding away at 10kh/s here dude. You need to allow withdrawls in a smaller size, like .4cc or so.

it already exists that chinese guys with combined SHA+script chip.

0.4w per 50khash AFAIK. it's somewhere on the forums and IT IS NOT fibonacci.

Hi happy fellow cats,

I spend the last hours to compile the catcoins wallet on Mac OS X. It currently working on Snow Leopard version and I was able to compile the wallet. So, I need some users to test my wallet.
You can download the wallet here : http://obn.me/catcoin-qt.dmg

Let me know if it works fine for you.

@kr105, I create a pull request on github to fix some troubles on Icon and Info.plists informations. I hope you can merge this patch.


Meow !!!

Yes that is right ASICS are coming to scrypt that means it is going to put the little ones out again
at least it will hopefully keep this coin alive

Do the math, they are not that OP. Yes they are cheaper on electric but they are not that amazing when it comes to hashing. They are a bit better, but not a ton. I am doing 5mh/s with about 3k invested, they are doing it for about 2,200usd. Comparatively to ASICs which jumped the game from MH/s to TH/S I am not overly worried about it.

Hi Shaze, thanks for doing this! I'm getting an error trying to open it in OS X Mavericks:

[strelok369]

    Fibonacci is how i imagine scrypt fpga(asic). FPGA and MUCH memory with INSANE memory bus width for salsa20/8.
I'm electronics engeneer(mcu, fpga, test and measurment) by the way. Make my SHA-256 FPGA miner on
spartan-3e(1..2MH) in the kitchen when all mine ASICS(this summer) and understood that it's shit (my hobby-trash).
But now i can draw schematic of sha256 round with closed eyes .

    Alpha tech have great idea and maybe they can bring it to market. But... Did you saw specifications?
128Mb of register memory for IC. 5W? I'm great sceptic. Their IC's crystalls is insainly BIG brick.
I'll be very surprised if their ASIC manufacturer can do acceptible valid crystall output rate.
It's remind me history with 3 cores AMD CPUs.

[shaze1664]

Hi overseerio,

As I said on my message, I compile the Wallet on Snow Leopard. I will upgrade my mac on Maverick tomorrow and retry to compile it. Thanks for your test. I hope to create a working wallet for maverick. The change from feline to california's place seems to move a lot of thing.
