this coin made one of my mining machines explode today !

it was sitting to my right on a stand that my mouse was on when all of a sudden all at the same time
i heard a couple super loud banging popping type noises a really bright flash through my see through PC case side window
and a flood or nasty smoke started coming out like crazy !

so coin dev what is the mailing address to send the bill to..
i hope your can get my PC fixed for me soon i am losing mining revenue Sad

warning people don't mine this coin or your pc will explode too maybe !!!

Hmm just sounds that your card overheated, I don't think any coin can make your card explode, plus you are saying your card is inside your case.

Running scrypt in a closed PC case is a bad idea, why do you think all rigs are on open air custom cases? if anything had to do with this

it's just poor ventilation and overheating..

it is a case i had modded for ventilation with an industrial fan blowing into and i never said anything about a card did i ?
for all you know i was cpu mining it.. and i was too !

CPU mining this? uff that's going to be even hotter then.. true you have not told anything about a card, but seriously mining with CPU's is really not worth it plus you risk damaging your CPU what happend to you.
the only time I have CPUmined was to try out CPUminer and when I saw the temperature the CPU would go I was like F this shit no way I'm risking that.

You didn't have an temperature monitoring app running that prevents your CPU from overheat? there are tons off app were an alarm goes off if it gets too hot, and some can even put your PC to sleep if it gets over a certain temp.
