What is power consumption like using gpus? High like scrypt, low like x11, or somewhere in between?

For me its 550W for 3x R9 280x at 100kh/s each. so its little higher than x11 but way lower than scrypt.

So PXC, FTC, UFO, ORB

+ noticed two other joining
Imperialcoin

and Guncoin

20,000 members means nothing if more than half of those accounts are nothing but spam accounts.

You should do your research and ask the admin of the forum how many of those accounts have not been used in the past 3, 6, and 12 months.

Gee Smoothie is that the best complaint you can come up with today.
A number of the FTC community decided to put FTC into a pot for the first non spammer that joined once the member count went over 20,000.

But rather than congratulate them for their generosity and the community spirit they are fostering at FTC you fuss on whether the member count is accurate or not.

No mater, hardfork is in just over 6 days time (give or take a few hours), we will then be free from this generation of ASICS, and hopefully from them for a while, and FTC will be returned to the smaller miners, not locked into large data-centres.

No need for LTC to thank FTC for us helping to secure your blockchain by passing over the ASICS mining FTC back to LTC and other Scrypt coins.
If LTC ever decides to move forward and away from Scrypt I'm sure FTC will be more than happy to help, and we will do it without all this pettiness I see from LTC.

Have a nice day.

Nope it isn't my biggest problem with FTC.

Please consider that FTC has changed the protocol of Feathercoin too many times and took waaay too long to change the important parts about its mining algorithm.

In the first few months of FTC's launch the alert system was still linked to Litecoin's network. Bushstar basically copy and pasted the Litecoin source and did not make any meaningful changes to the code.

So no it isn't my biggest complaint. Although those 20,000 user stats are not true as most of those users are likely not active users and just spam accounts.

I'm not saying that the people backing FTC are bad people. What I am saying is that their developments are too few too late. The market has moved on from FTC and its "developments".

Let me be clear and say that this "pettiness" is from me purely and not from LTC.

Why should anyone thank the Feathercoin community for "passing over" the asics mining FTC back to LTC?

Remember now, if Feathercoin did not change its mining algorithm from scrypt it would either get killed and 51% attacked or FTC would be forced to merge mine with LTC as doge has.

So no there is no thanks there lol. Please try harder to make your points while grasping at straws.

Smoothie is back! Best FTC thread bumper ever
So how many accounts on LTC forum are inactive or spam accounts?

[tmuir12]

In Australia we have a bird called a galah, you can teach it to say fairly complicated phrases, which they will then repeat over and over again, a bit like the same complaints that came from the LTC camp.
I'm sure we can arrange to have a few trained up to repeat the same tired complaints which once they have been taught will never change what they say, again a bit like some people from the LTC camp
For the record I do know the early history of FTC.
I didn't play an active roll in FTC until fairly recently but was mining FTC within a month of it launching, so heard many of the complaints back then that I'll I'm still hearing now.
Those complaints back then didn't see me want to swap to LTC and I still don't now.

I see that today the ASIc mining power on FTC is 140 GH/s, true well below what LTC has, but I wonder how much it would cost someone to find 141GH/s to 51% attach it, would it be worth it really to do so?

But Conqueror is correct, thanks Smoothie for keeping this thread at the top, and I apologise to the bulk of the LTC supporters, as Smoothie has admitted that the pettiness is solely his and has nothing to do with LTC.

Litecoin doesnt do anything, why would they even need Members

I looked and they have 20k members also.

So your rebuttal to Smoothie is basically saying FTC will be way more vulnerable after the hardfork

No he isnt. He ist just saying that we are not scared about any 51% attack right now. And that it isnt the only reason that we fear such an attack for our Hardfork.

Sooner or later asics will be able to mine neoscrypt, x11, x13 ... x666 so my videocards are going in history. As all old miners I am tied to work for nothing or for few cents, I am going off.

Nope, to make development of ASICS viable for Neoscrypt then  FTC have to cost 5USD or something like that. Now we are at 4 cents.

[guugll]

great work guys, now we are ASIC resistant and almost on the moon

Cool I've been waiting for something good to point my miners at.

[tmuir12]

Hardfork is looking to happen around the 26th now, not the 24th due to all the ASICS trying to mine their last few FTC before we hardfork pushing the difficulty up through the roof.

To keep up to date with the countdown you can follow it on twitter as it is counted down by my countdown bot

Actulay, this is good news for me as I have more time to set up my rig.
Let me talk completely raw. I was not mining with my GPU's like half year.
Guess why? Yes, low profitability (thanks ASICS!)

I know ASICS are evolution, but only rich can really catch up with this game.
For normal middle class user is almost impossible to reach hardware break even.
In fact what he gets is money loss and nice piece of hardware with no other use than
being an exhibit in the museum one day.
So the network control is focused in rich guys ASIC farms and monster pools.

I guess thats not exactly what Satoshi's plan was. Mining with CPU/GPU for fun and small profit
seems much better idea to me. In fact when you stop your hardware is still usefull for other things.
But most importantly it is possible to have more decentralized network with this solution.

I guess there is more people like me, with their GPUs not mining anymore.
Well folks, remove the dust and plug them in again.
Neoscrypt is here

[tmuir12]

I like the fact that whilst I'm surfing the web on my PC, it can also be mining offsetting my electricity cost.

[vlad12]

Any info on existing pools which will be ready for neosrypt on switch day?
