The thread necro is strong with this one.

Yep. Gives me a notification that it was sent to the proper email address, but for some reason I'm not receiving it. I think there's just something wrong with outlook right now.

Edit: Looks like I finally received the reset email, problem solved.

I managed to forget my password, and the reset doesn't seem to be sending anything. Not sure if it's my email provider or multipool - has anybody reset their password lately?

Are you 12 years old?

Does coinwarz have a method of determining orphans and such? Because last I knew, the multiport takes that into account.

I can't agree with trying to slow the network down - one of the best features of litecoin is that it is secure. If somebody were to plan a 51% attack to coincide with this plan and hash rate went down enough, the reputation of litecoin would be ruined.

Hard to say if it's worth it. Right now the return on investment is quite long, which is only really going to be changed by a sharp increase in the value of a coin. You must then ask yourself: would it have been more worth it to just invest the same money in the coin in the first place?

I'd advise against 7970s if you do decide to mine, however. 7950s offer much better hash rates for the cost/power draw.

Your answer is in the whitepaper; you should give it a read.

So does this basically merge the wallets, or do I need to worry about what I already have in the 'master wallet'?

Bam, mature coins on the network.

44 blocks until the first block matures!

I'm unfamiliar with bitcoind/primecoind. Is there a way to point several miners at one wallet, or am I stuck using a wallet for every separate computer?

It's XPM, XRP is Ripple.

To all of those asking for donations, mined coins won't be available for ~3000 blocks. Even if somebody wanted to be generous, they couldn't.

Yay, 20.41 XPM.

If only Sunny King were a reputable part of the community, perhaps an author of another cryptocurrency and helpful to other devs we could trust him!

Oh wait, he's both of those things.

Considering the blockchain is starting today, I don't think so.

This topic is a thread; what you are referring to as a thread is in fact a board on a forum.

I'm aware; I was just answering his question about why people bother pursuing alternate proof of work/stake/etc methods.

Traditional PoW methods are quite wasteful of our energy resources. We need a solution that either reduces energy consumption massively, or at least puts the energy to more use than just maintaining a blockchain.
