It's really hard to say, it might succeed, but again it might fail, it might even become grater than BTC. Now that there's this BTC madness there are many of them who are creating new coins for Internet thinking that it will succeed just like BTC. I myself don't think that EAS will become something important and big as BTC, but well you never know...

I like the site, it's really neat!
I read a little and I'm amazed with some info...

As far as I know there's no way to retrieve coins.

Well, BitCoin-Qt takes about 12GB of disk space if I'm correct. Delete the Bitcoin folder in C:\ drive, make sure you can view hidden files and then open Start and type in the text box "%appdata%" without the quotes of course and delete the Bitcoin folder in it. I'd recommend you MultiBit, it's not online wallet, but people use it as BitCoin-Qt alternative, it doesn't sync so long and doesn't take such space on your PC. Also you could try Armory, but as far as I know for that you'll need BTC-Qt, so basically switch to MultiBit...

EDIT: Yes you can change the address in GUIminer, but you'll have to edit the miner.

Hmmm, if you could put a fan above the cards and have some holes beneath the cards so that the air can circulate then that will lower the temperature of the cards a little, but I wouldn't put anything in such plastic if I was clumsy...

Welcome to the BTCTalk forum!
Well if you have decent hardware for mining then it shouldn't represent a problem to you, but if you need to upgrade the hardware you'll have a tough decision about it (invest in it or not).
I assume that everyone on this forum believes investing in BTC in any way is worth and that it will grow in its influence!

1. It's normal that mining uses a lot of CPU
2. This depends on lots of factors, but a lot of people say that it's pointless to mine with less than 1Ghash/s since mining got a lot more harder than it was before
3. The only way to improve mining in my opinion is to upgrade your graphics card or buy those devices that people sell for mining, even though I wouldn't recommend that

I started to mine weeks ago, but I gave up since I had low Mhash/s and I won't upgrade my graphics just because of that.
Hope I helped a little!

Greetings friends,

I had some issue with my Ubuntu 13.10 and I had to restore my backup that I've made a day or two before.
I had synced BitCoin-Qt, MultiBit and I was planning on installing Armory and removing MultiBit. However when I created a backup my BitCoin-Qt was 4 weeks behind. Today when I booted to my system and started BitCoin-Qt I got the following at the top of the program window:

Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade.

At the bottom of the window it says:
4 weeks behind and rotating arrows are frozen whole day, so no progress was made today with syncing with network.

Can anyone help out? The warning was not there when I was syncing the BitCoin-Qt with network the first time? The whole day passed and the arrows are still, the number of weeks didn't change. What should I do now?  

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:
I ran the Bitcoin-Qt with command -reindex, the warning message disappeared and I'm waiting for BC-Qt to reindex them, when it's done I'll see if it will pass the 4 weeks behind part... 

Welcome to the forum, I am new here as well!
It's a little awkward to be restricted only on one category of forum, but we'll be out to reply on all categories soon.

If you use MultiBit, the first time you open it you'll get automatically a new wallet, the wallet's number can be found in tab "Request" you copy that number and you paste it on the website of Slush's pool. I prefer to use BitCoin-Qt, but sync with the network is a real pain and is terribly slow so I wouldn't recommend it, however I made my first wallet in MultiBit. You maybe didn't mine anything, therefor you didn't get any coins and no payouts, if you did mine something and got BTC and it doesn't show in transactions of your wallet software then you probably put wrong wallet number (tho I think that if you type invalid wallet number it pops out error, but I'm not sure).

If you decide to create a new wallet and you would wish to put BTC from the old one into a new one you could simply send money from the old one to the new one using MultiBit, BitCoin-Qt or Armory.

That's all the help I can give you, since I know only that about wallets. Also make sure you protect your wallet with additional software if you are using MultiBit since it has no encryption built in, BitCoin-Qt does have that option as well as backup, I never used Armory so I can't help you with that.

I hope I helped a little at least...

I see... Thanks for the quick and simple reply!
