I thought of ordering that, but it’ll be very difficult to break even. Just 1000 of those released into the market will make up more than 40% of the hash rate in sCrypt hashing right now.

You might only be getting back $50~100 USD daily by then out of $9000 euro machine, and it’ll take at least 4 months to break even. Now what about other competitors like AlphaTechnology that’s also releasing their own hasher by then?

Can you also assure that KnC don’t sell more than 1000? You can’t. They’ll definitely sell a lot more…

but… proof me wrong, I am just having some doubt in it. Unless alt coin experience some sudden spike in price like the run up from $100 to $1200 in Bitcoin.

Well with a standard database synchronising hundreds of instances is a pain in the bum usually requiring a message queue or something. I’m don’t think this should be used on our block chain as its too much data but the power is undisputable.

Seems like a lot of the articles on there are from coindesk.com maybe from a feed?

such as [url=http://virtualmining.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-you-breakfast-in-glasgow/]http://virtualmining.com/bitcoin-can-now-buy-you-breakfast-in-glasgow/[/url]

Could be. It doesn’t hurt though. Anything news related is important if it’s shared and not altered.

To be honnest, it depends in what currency you earn you money.

If your whole income is based on cryptos, you start calculating prices in crypto and decide to buy or not to buy goods and services based on their cost in crypto, and therefore you don’t need the FIAT anymore.

But as long as we all get our salary in FIAT the cryptos must be pinned to FIAT

My wallet password is over 25 characters. It’d take them a while to crack that bad boy.

We need a Twitter/RSS feed for Link.

The “community” has been the survival factor for Feathercoin. That gives us a “trust base” to work on.

Obviously, widespread merchant acceptance will be true sign of long term success…

ahh…feelin bad for you but den again its your mistalke,i always keep multiple backups of all my wallets

This sounds like a solid strategy. Were you happy with the announcement about Bittylicious and BIPS.me in the [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,4376.0.html]Weekly News[/url]?

We are also talking to two other exchange companies and there is work going on to help merchants.

I was very happy to see it. It’s following in the footsteps of the hugely popular bitcoin market.

Against inflation

Interesting calculation :)

I don’t think the 7850s are the cards you want to do this with. While they may have low power consumption now, when you push them with an OC these numbers will go up. Also the more fans moving the higher the power consumption. So instead of pushing 5 cards you may want to look at my last post about power optimization. I bet you could get 2000KH/s with either 3 or 4 7970s/R9 280xs undervolted and underclocked like I am doing now. I can get about 630KH/s for about 150 watts or less on my 7970s. I am still working on getting the power usage lower but I went from 300 watts per card at 740+ KH/s to 150-200 watts at 640 KH/s and dropped core temps over 10C.

Another option is look for 4x 7950s and undervolt and down clock them to 500KH/s and I bet you could get them to run between 100-125 watts.

Power optimization you say. Hmm. [gears working] :)

Very good. I’ll buy another PSU.

I know this thread is over a month old, but I feel a need to comment, as it can be found via google search.

There’s a public ledger of where that 1% went…all for community sponsored events/services…over 500 CGB came out of pocket as well, as the 1% couldn’t cover cost of all services.

“A quick fork of Novacoin” but no one is ‘applying’ the block chain in the way CGB is via my recent project MADEsparq Project. More info here: [url=http://MADEsparq.org]http://MADEsparq.org[/url].

By the way, no quicker a fork of Novacoin than Feathercoin is a fork of Litecoin, eh?

At first I thought this was going to be about PornCoin. Which is a thing apparently.

I may want to mine this one for a bit just so I can say I’m a millionaire in something.

It was bound to happen sooner or later with all the joke coins coming out now, but I gotta know something.

Does the button for sending coins say Send Coins, or does it say Flush?
[/quote]

You could always send a bug report to them saying that the “Flush” button is mislabeled as “Send”.

Quite clear. Thank you Kevlar.

Nice find Corather

Gonna give it a whirl and will start a thread with my findings!

I could save over 1Kw with this!

If you can post some power consumption numbers let me know ;) would like to compare some
[/quote]

It’s about a 50 watt per card savings on those 7950’s. The screeny reads about 500 watt pull. It went down from just under 600. The core is slightly over clocked but I didn’t touch the ram. I don’t like to OC but if I do, I usually only OC the processor as it’s easier to cool with just a good thermal compound under the heat sink.

edit: Actually for real numbers I just realized. Each card under this config core voltage 1.084, core clock 1050, ram clock 1250 (stock), each card pulls about 200 watts and produces 620-630 kh/s give or take.

[/quote]Honestly that was pretty much the response on some of the top discussions of Reddit. I wouldn’t be surprised if three or four marketplaces pop up that are each around 60-70% the size of users and available product of Silk Road. A hole in the market is just seen as opportunity to some folks. And why they didn’t sprout out immediately was because they’re going about it smarter, using what caught DPR as a guidebook. Servers in other countries, making sure their physical identity was never attached, smarter op sec, simpler site with less opportunity to exploit, decentralized 3rd party services (mixers, wallets, etc.) and so on.

As far as FTC being used in these markets, it will happen but I don’t think it’s going to happen even within the next 6 months. Anyone affiliated with that kind of marketplace would be weary to incorporate FTC because they’d likely be [i]one of us[/i]. There’s nary a person bullish and contributing to Feathercoin that doesn’t also have a presence here. That would narrow it down pretty quick for law enforcement since that person would essentially be making the same mistakes DPR did. And if they have tools (like they say they do) in order to match writing styles to each other to determine how statistically likely it’s the same person… it’s just bad news for someone trying to incorporate FTC into that atmosphere. I’m not opposed to it any more than I’d be opposed to someone using cash to operate it (money is money is money is money) because there’s no point in deifying the currency -only recognizing it’s value.

We’re going to get down to the point where a bunch of these altercurrencies eat each other up or die off. When you’ve got five or six that have their act completely together, that’s the ones you’ll wind up seeing on these marketplaces.
