A few weeks ago when LTC was peaking around $40-$45 per, I sold my entire stock of 205 LTC through PayPal, all in the $35-$40 per coin range. I took all the money in through PayPal.

I had contacted PayPal before I started selling them, and the person I talked to said to always make an invoice and in the terms and conditions very clearly state that it is LiteCoin and it is a crypto currency / virtual good, and X LTC will be traded for X dollars, and for a fraction will be sent to make sure the wallet address is right and then the rest is sent.

So I did that, and it was a hell of a lot of emails and back and forth, but it worked out fine and no one tried to rip me off.

Every time I got a payment, I’d transfer it from PayPal to my bank account before I sent the coins, then as soon as money showed up in the bank account, I’d transfer it to another account at another bank that PayPal had no connection to, so they couldn’t take the money back. And I used a secondary PayPal account, so if anyone did try to reverse transactions and make its balance go negative I could just walk away from it, the account was made with a fake name and address and info for a secondary ebay account I had.

But it all worked out well.

A while back I had a 6770 that I used when I was mining Litecoin, until my order of 3 HIS Ice-Q 7950s came in.

The 6770 did well for what it was, I was able to squeeze it just over the 200 Khash mark, something like 201-205 if I remember correctly.

Morderchai - how the hell did you ever come up with 6016 for a TC? TC’s should be divisible by 256, not by 64, as has been commonly stated.

When I had my full farm running, I’d walk into the room late at night to check them before going to bed, few if any clothes on, with only the light from the monitors to see by, look at the CGminer numbers on both monitors, look at the GPUs whirring away, breathe heavily onto them, feel their heat, think of the coins coming my way…

Tell me I’m not the only one like that! :o

The best solution is to quit cold turkey. Pack up all your miners and send them to me right away, PM me for the mailing address.

Why do these new R9 cards all seem to run best at intensity 13, and not intensity 18, 19, or 20?

When I first set up CGminer, it gave me every problem it possibly could, it was enough to piss off the pope, so to speak. But once I got it going it was good.

What’s up with this Dogecoin, it seems to have started at a high difficulty around 300, how are we supposed to think it is any better than anything besides BTC LTC or FTC?

I just completed my move across the country recently, and last week I got my all new gaming PC build and operating. I have 2 HIS Ice-Q 7950’s in it, pimping out Feathercoin for me. I may try trading FTC and LTC and BTC as each coin goes through its highs and lows of the price cycles.

I have one more 7950 I was going to get mining for me, but the PC I was going to put it in has problems and will be parted out, so I’m putting this 7950 up for sale along with 3 SSDs. I have used the SSDs in mining PCs and a general purpose PC that did a lot of work in my home computer repair business before I moved out here. It ran the computer used to format hard drives, copy and replace files, test drives, etc.

I could ebay all these things and get them sold quickly, but I don’t like paying ebay fees, especially the 10% final value fee they STEAL from computer parts sales! I’d rather trade for coins.

So here’s what I have:

1 Sapphire Dual-X 7950, dual fans. It mined LTC for me and ran fine. I used 12.8 drivers and SDK 2.7 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Here’s an ebay auction photo. THIS IS NOT MY AUCTION, I just linked it for the photo.

Then I have 3 256 GB Solid State Drives. 2 Micron Real SSD C400s and a C300. I just hooked each one up in my gaming PC, formatted them, and ran Hard Disk Sentinel on them, and all 3 showed no errors and 100% ok.

If you are in the continental USA, I will pay the shipping myself. If you are not in the continental USA, we’ll have to figure out the cost and add a little bit to cover it. If you are within driving distance of Los Angeles, you can come pick them up in person.

Asking prices: the 7950, $350 or the equivalent in whatever coin, and the 256 GB SSDs, $150 each or their equivalent in a coin.

I know I’m new on these forums, but I have much more trading / posting time over on the Litecoin forums, and some on the Bitcoin forums too.
If we trade LTC or BTC for any or all of the parts, PM me and I’ll get a new LTC / BTC wallet set up, and your address and all that, and get it going ASAP.

PM me for a phone number if you’d like to call and talk about the items directly.

I hadn’t reset my CGminer yet, and it was still showing 15.1M as the best share, but it looks like I found another block this morning. Best share jumped to 17.4M, and I checked on the pool page and it shows it there too!

Too bad you can’t scroll UP the scrolling text in the CGminer window, I’d like to see if it prints a specific line saying I found a block.

If the difficulty is 11.2M (as it is right now), then why do some blocks get a much higher difficulty number when solving a block as best share, like my 15.1M and 17.4M? Does that mean the cryptographic hash answer that a GPU gave was qualified to be considered a found block not only at this difficulty, but at a higher difficulty as well?

The mailman brought my third 7950 yesterday, so I could set up the other mining PC, mine more, and add to the electric bill now!

I’m in the Nut2pools.com FTC pool, and my 2 7950s are pimping out the hashes. I run cgminer 3.3.0, and about an hour ago my best share was about 1.5M. I just came back to the computer and got into cgminer to turn down the intensity from 18 to 13 so I could watch some youtube videos, and when the screen came back up, I noticed that FTC difficulty was 10.7M, and my best share was now 15.1M !

Yay, first block I found! I know, not a huge deal, but it’s the first one of these I’ve seen. Now I’m thinking it sure would be nice if the person who finds a block got a triple share or something like that! 8)
