Just posted this in another thread before I noticed this one. Not trying to spam so hope its ok..

 What the Dell? 

Are they doing it for the publicity and a few million in potential sales ? I don't know why they wouldn't.
Transaction savings? What would they save 1-3%? 3-5%?

What could the transaction savings become through the entire supply and manufacture chain? For non wage expense only? For wage and non wage expense?

What of the accounting? Would the blockchain ledger be useful? Could it reduce accounting costs?

Can we add to the list? Assuming these companies are in testing, is there a closing window for near term adoption (pre-holiday)?

-Best buy
-Wall mart
-And of course our good friends at Target.

Store (receipt) and Manufacturer (warranties) are registered/recorded (blockchain) at POS? POS gains second meaning (Point Of Selection?) due to automated checkout? **Potentially adding 2nd generational paradigm reference.** "When I was your age, we walked 5 miles through the snow and had to stand in line to buy things."

Better hang on Marty..

First off, on a scale of 1-10, my knowledge of all things -or anything- crypto is *maybe* a 5. I'm a relative newbie who started GPU mining various scrypt alts (LTC,WDC, etc) in may 2013.

My latest 'accomplishment' is getting the latest version of bitcoin-qt/core synced and working which for me wasn't exactly easy. Finally, after downloading the torrent bootstrap, adding several fallback nodes and more restarts I succeeded.

Yes I understand money (a lot) is involved, so security/bugs first, worry about functionality for the mainstream nitwits (me) later. Fair enough.

Whats that you say? "The number of nodes are decreasing?" Gee can't imagine why..

OK then, /sarcasm /rant /beating dead horse.

 *Tries to find balance between pretense and pointless rants. Succeeds in preaching to the choir and feeding trolls.- check.

 
Are there some coins that have:
 
--Full client wallets with incentivised node hosting/better P2P performance? 
 The last time I played with P2P people were talking about Gnutella/Limewire. I used BitTorrent client to get the bootstrap for bitcoin core.  A few quick adjustments to the client defaults and boom, big file efficiently downloaded/seeded. It worked very well. Maybe that's why it was linked on bitcoin.org? I know it's apples to oranges but I was wishing my bitcoin wallet worked half as well.  I know there are good 3rd party wallets and I don't deny their right to exist, features or that they serve a need. Still a 3rd party though. :/

--Incentivised testnet.
 I dono seems like a useful idea. Not hoping to outrun ASICS.

--POW/POS?
 Generally I think people are more accepting of POW, although POS definitely has important utility and I'm not intending to understate that. I can somewhat understand the rationale behind POW, POS and POW/POS coins.

Maybe a better question would be ; How much incentive is there to go around?

Any suggestions? Maybe my priorities are misplaced/unfounded? Either or both just trying to get some leads here.

Agreed.

Also 90% of network run by 10% of miners will lose peoples trust in crypto currency.

We are just going to have to agree to agree that this is a not a no win-win situation.

To all the people wanting to hardfork LTC. You clearly do not understand the reason for LTC so I will explain it.

Litecoin was made to be ASIC resistant BECAUSE: Litecoin will not be affected by ASIC and benefit from ASIC.

Also Because Reasons.

US west is down for me.

Back in the day we called it a juke.

I would reconsider, seriously, what you have been planning on considering.




I believe this reply should be amicable, don't you agree?

Does this mean the pool is only using 1 exchange? I moved some rigs here from MC a few days ago and I like what you have done here but you should probably develop a few more trading options, especially if you expect the pool to continue growing. Besides helping to insulate from deposit /withdrawal issues, you will probably find the added book depth helpful.

Considering there appears to be no individual worker registration, maybe that would be a problem. Then again the current basket is made up of mostly .5~1gh/s+ coins is it not?

Don't you need individual worker's to use vardiff?

Perhaps this is a somewhat manual allocation at this point with static assignments?

I would think less coin switching also and possibly the addition of "coin type" optimizations. An example might be lower share difficulty for the low difficulty fast block time coins. Assuming reject rate is based on blocks solving faster than spec, and not on latency (which of course also plays a factor) the rejects should be minimal. Until some coin switching pool without hash allocation comes along and blows the baby out of the bathtub.

Thanks for reminding me. Maybe It's time for another look. I hemmed, hawed and kicked the tires on the Cryptsy shares a day or 2 after they were announced.

I'm sure there have been others, maybe several, better suited for investment than Cryptsy. I was just familiar with Cryptsy at the time and despite its growing pains and questionable timing on what appear to be occasional deposit/withdrawal delays, I think BV has done a decent job with it and I like his approach to an open market as compared to say BTC-e when it comes to adding coins.

I probably should have tried to get more info but assumed that what I was seeing was all they were willing to disclose at the time.

I would assume it's the norm for a typical VC to have a bit more access to detailed financials/business plan type of info before investing, albeit under non disclose, non compete conditions.

Even so I don't coinsider  ha haha hahahahaha , myself to be a competent judge of capitol worthy ventures especially given the technical nature and sheer volume of all these possibilities. I could see that as being a full time job for, well tech VC's.

That said I get your point though.

Couldn't agree more BC, and I think you are spot on even if that spot is as of yet an undefined grey area. Huge potential for returns here (if you have any faith in the general concept/utility of crypto)

Sure there is risk involved but being a 'resource' close to this space might be one of the better ways to get in on some of the innovation that is just flooding this nascent sector, much of it happening in micro cap, I wouldn't think massive amounts of capitol are whats needed.

MC has paid out what 9m $ in btc since its inception 7 months ago?

Would I have a problem with 5-10% of my payout being spread amongst upstart Merchant services like Coinbase or hardware companies like KNCminer and any number of the ATM companies or exchanges like Cryptsy or development services like stress testing verticoin? Nope.

Admittedly I know nothing of the registration requirements for traditional VC investors and participants, let alone the hybrid this would represent. Besides just because you are an early adopter or innovator doesn't mean you will see any dividends. Just ask Laszlo or H20  


-Edit- I've been asking waiting and hoping H20 would implement some kind of hash allocation algorithm for several months. Here's a coinspiracy : Maybe H20 has done just that. Altcoinplex is the next stop after the CM test. Should be interesting, maybe they will have a few more coins in a day or 3. Thanks to whoever mentioned it.

All accounted for. As far as sudden increases in balance are concerned...

In addition to what Wipeout2097 said:

1. Your pool needs to have the ability to divide its hashing power between coins, dynamically shifting hash power as markets and difficulty dictate.

2. You need to trade well, probably better than well, manually and automated/trade bot whatever.

As an example we were mining mooncoin a couple days ago while it was nowhere near the most profitable coin. A couple hours later it reached #2-3 maybe higher (via price, not just a big diff drop) . He sold, we profited. What happened? I don't know and I'm not asking.


 

Nice setup, I have the same thing only 3 cards on the rig atm though.

WU settles in around 1330-70 with 1.2% rejects on a 1024 diff pool so far.

Cards are running 470kh/s @ I-18 pulling 540-560 watts total for the rig, running BAMT 1.2.

They will do 485kh/s+ but seem to lose some efficiency with higher rejects, might need to tweak TC a little more.

Mine could probably be more optimized though, still decent for the cost/power.

First H20 steal my coin, now CoinGeek steal my coin.

I put my MH/s into COINWARTZ and it show ONLY TOP 90% PROFIT COIN. They steal my 10% coin with no graphs!

I put others MH/s in COINWARTZ and AGAIN ONLY TOP 90% PROFIT. They steal others coin with no graphs!

Yes maybe so, just not in a biblical sense.

Roger that, houston.

Granted.
