Re: Bitcoin Faucets app for Android devices
by
Epicblood
on 13/10/2013, 20:58:10 UTC
So what about other apps in the market not open sourced? I'm just a software/app developer like other people do. Also tell me what shady things you think this app will do if THIS IS JUST A LIST OF FAUCET SITES.

I'm only speaking for myself.  I don't install "most other apps in the market" and I don't install your app either.  I've said why already, you say "it's harmless, really, trust me".  I don't trust you.  I figure as loudly as your are shouting about this, you probably are hiding something.  Others will do what they will do but if your app is nothing but a list of faucet sites, what on earth could you be so worried about keeping secret in the source code?

I have made tons of simple little programs, and so have tons of other people. And neither I nor those others share the source, why? Because we spent time on it, and we worked on it. Why should you then be able to just download it, change a few lines, and call it your own?

That is why I don't understand. People just want everything Open Source but in fact as I said, you can optionally just type your Bitcoin Address. IT IS NOT REQUIRED!! And if you just use the app you can see by yourself that the app opens a web browser with the desired faucet.

Also, this app is also available and approved for Windows Phone and it already have 94 and counting downloads, meaning it also passed Microsoft validation process.

So, what are you hiding in the source code then?

Approved Windows Phone thingy is not that impressive.  If you'd open your source code, people would probably be a lot more interested in your app.  With the source code closed, I assume you're trying to do something shady.

So most apps on most stores are trying to do something shady?
What kind of logic is that?

1) if it was a wallet stealer, i doubt google would approve it
2) you only put in your wallet address, the same thing most of you have in your signature, not your private key
3) your wallet should be encrypted anyway, so what's the problem?

Re: Which chips support the hash functions for bitcoin mining

You want something that is good at sha-256 hashing and Integer calculation (not Floating points, that is difference between NVidia and AMD, NVidia is better at Floating Points, AMD is better at Integers)

You can order bit fury Avalon etc chips.
You will need to dedign your own ASIC otherwise (or have someone else do it)

Or you can get chips like the kintex or virtex 7 and have someone design PCB and code for those (not as efficient)

on 10/10/2013, 03:38:28 UTC
I am currently getting about 1906 primespersec at a diff of 9.89480191
At this rate, how long will it take me to get a block and how many primecoins will be in that block?

I am finding very little information on this, and would like to know this info before I grab my server CPU and start using that aswell xD

--EDIT--
Getting 1795 now (guess 19 was a spike)

Worth it to mine?
by
Epicblood
on 09/10/2013, 21:15:28 UTC
Is it still worth it to buy GPUs and create a GPU farm (prolly no more than 5)
To mine Altcoins (using multipool) ?

I currently just mine with a single GPU and get about 300 KH/s so either want to stop or go bigger xD

I think this is a pretty good Idea,
Wouldn't mind testing it for you.

Nice :-)

First to answer, so you get the first slot, I guess it's fair enough.
I will give you 120 minutes for the 1st test, and then I will redefine the slots according to the demand.

Currently, the pool settings work like this:

  • Pool 0: static, will be used until you dynamically set pool 1
  • Pool 1: dynamic, will be used instead of pool 0 as soon as you set it from the web interface

Please PM me the static settings you want for pool 0, i.e. URL, worker and password.

It is cgminer based, so you can use stratum+tcp:// format URLs.

Does that work for you?

yea, that works fine. Let me just grab my usual settings and I'll PM to you

Re: What to buy?

Buy BTC and hold for a year.
See this is what I don't want to do because I feel it doesn't help bitcoin at all. We have to spend btc to make it effective. So I want something that can generate btc (like I said, doesn't have to be much).

I think I will probably buy some GH/s on cex

What to buy?

I am looking for a miner that I wont have to wait over a month to be delivered, but still has decent ROI.
It doesn't have to be a big one (actually prefer small one) and would like to stay <500 USD

Is virtual the only way for me to go?

Thanks

I'll sell you a 12 BE setup (with hubs) for $300. If you want to lose money, you might as well lose it someone here.  Wink
300 bucks will get him 30 BE's with hubs...
Where?
I would like this deal

If you started mining with ~10 HD5870's in 2011 and kept doing just that and you kept most of the BTC you are perfectly fine to spend your free money on these 60% chance scams.
But for the avarage joe like us we just can't spend 10K on something we don't even know if it wil ever come...
Yea this is basically how I feel. I mined with just a GPU back in the day and after a few weeks finally got 1 BTC, then I sold it when the price skyrocketed to 270 xD

Now I really just want some BTC for the vanity and to play some of those betting games, but don't really want to spend too much money on it as in a few months whatever hardware I buy will be outdated and close to useless

I was looking around, and the little USB miners seemed pretty cool, but it also seems the ROI is pretty low.

None existent are the words you're looking for in relation to ROI. Mining has become the victim of its own success and although btc is nothing without it right now that won't always be the case. The solution, and far better for bitcoins future beyond mining, which is a no return endeavour, is to figure out some way to provide goods and services in exchange for them. Or just buy some btc if you just want to hold them.

I will probably end up just buying BTC as you said, but I really want to do something that can earn me some BTC
I'll also probably be waiting until something happens that causes the price to drop (like if the government ever decides to sell all that confiscated BTC)

I have been gone for awhile now, and it seems that, unless you are willing to invest a few grand, you shouldn't mine anymore.
I personally have an ML605 that is hashing away (not very effectively) but it isn't making me much BTCBTC

So I was wondering, what can the little guy do?
I was looking around, and the little USB miners seemed pretty cool, but it also seems the ROI is pretty low.

Also, does anyone have a scrypt miner that works with the ML605?
