The only thing I can really claim credit for is the number 1.769
[coinhunter]I will now patent it and put it under closed-source license [/coinhunter]

Now c'mon if you are going to state something like that show us the link.  I have never seen him state that and I watch both forums regularly.  The license is NOT closed source, nor is it entirely open.  One merely needs to request permission and to date I have only ever heard of him responding positively to those requests.

Hyperbole is a common way to carry out a parody, and humorous intent is quite apparent in the faux tags.

The intent was to lampoon the rather bizarre and comical license escapade of his, not to claim that he has, indeed, attempted to patent a number.

Hm, any orphans popping up in listtransactions ?

Yup, all of them.

[Lolcust]

Hm, and you're running what soft again ? Because my ghettobox reported 2 orphans and 7 generates in the last hour, and it is running @ 250 mhashes (poclbm, but I intend to experiment with cgminer soon)

CGminer, worked for me until now.
I think 4000 coins with 3Ghash/s isn't bad.
Blocks look correct.
Time looks correct.
Put in the ntp=1 yesterday.
Addnode on your advice, solved the irc connect problem yesterday.
Restarted the portable geist.

4 accepted, 400 rejected (restarted client 25 minutes ago).
That's one rig of 3x 5870 (@427Mhash)

If you had that kind of reject rate how did you mine 4000 coins? Sheesh thats like 99% rejects.

When I used poclbm it gave me 25% stale but no more blocks than with cgmine.
Tested it with 2 rigs, with cgmine and poclbm.

[MaGNeT]

Yes! Fresh coins are coming in again! Now from 4018 to 4039.
Could it be the high hashrates that came in from BitcoinExpress?

[ArtForz]

the high reject rate is because cgminer is ignoring "target" in getwork and just blindly sends every H==0 share. so at diff 100 you'll see a 99% reject rate.

[Lolcust]

Just got a generate.

Seems everything's normal.

Yeah, got it to.
Almost 45 minutes without coins, thought something was wrong

network is being pounded. I just saw the highest diff rate of 170 just hit.

[CosicMiner]

Neat. You can expect 500 Geists to arrive a mite later today

Thanks! 
Address is in my sig.

The only thing I can really claim credit for is the number 1.769

So what is the rationale behind this number?

[the joint]

45 Geist Geld coins will (I think) forever be gone.  I had 45 before my computer decided to crash and I reformatted HDD.

45 is not a multiple of 7. I call BS!

just kidding. :p

This alt didn't even change the name of anything from bitcoin? Even the addresses are still bitcoin addresses? Redo!
