Hey guys,
There are reports coming in of fried cards from the memory overheating on them. Be careful mining litecoin if you have no heatsinks on your memory (most reference designs that are rear exhaust do), check and make sure with a thermal diode that your memory isn't at a really high temperature.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Is this because scrypt uses lots of on board memory?  |

My 6970 crapped itself last night while mining LTC with Reaper. It might be co-incidence,but as Tacotime says,be careful! |

I'd imagine that's it comes from the gfx card emulating a super cpu running full blast for hours on end. Fortunately for me, I took the bottom off the m11x and threw a cooling pad underneath, so it's good to go for a while. Workload can double and then some when I use 64 instead of 256, though. Toss in CPU and the family computer on Scyptminer, and I'm pulling... 20kh/s!  |

Tacotime, did you ever get the Linux version compiled? Looking into doing some shopping around for gpu clouds, and a working linux bin would be nice.
EDIT: My bad.

Bump... The source code was released, so I don't see anything wrong with giving the reward out now.

Is the source compilable on nVidia and AMD GPUs? Who released it? |

It's a little bit of a pain for 7xxx AMD GPUs and nVidia GPUs (aggression has to be set to 15 for it to work at all on nVidia GPUs), but it does work. |

It works!
With my 6950 i make like 390khash/s
Problem: computer is more or less unusable, like 0.1 FPS. But it works.
