1. Possibly. Many people saw Litecoin a better coin than bitcoin because it was "ASIC proof". However now that that has changed, I don't really see the benefit of LTC besides a faster block time. (I think a lot of people would agree)
2. It's hard to say if ASIC's effected the price at all. So much happened so quickly it would tough to prove if something had an affect on price more than the other.

Here's my opinion on mining. When people call bitcoin a scam I usually say they have no idea what they're talking about. However, mining on the other hand is almost always scam. If you're not looking to drop a significant amount of money on hardware then I can almost promise you, you won't make on ROI unless we see a significant price increase. If you want to mine just for the sake of doing it (for fun) then go for it! I was doing it for a while myself. But if you're looking to make money on it then really put your research into hardware and difficulty. Chances are if you're not dropping at least $10,000 on hardware you're not going to make money. It's a risky business. You have to bank on a price increase if you're going to be doing small time mining. But like I said, this is just my opinion and I could be very wrong. It's really all about chance and luck.

Yea, I'm a dumb ass, who can't spell. (first time)

2nd time was a play on words of my first goof.  dsm34 happens to be a 22 rifle so I was playing with my goof while shooting wolf in the foot.

Best results with Sgminer 4.2(fixed) x15 version.(based on poolerinos 2% fee version)

I deleted the 750ti sgminerbinfiles  and installed catalyst 14.6 and got a boost

Can someone compile the zelante splitscreen release for linux ?
it seems to be windows specific (windows.h) and I have no idea how to get it compiled on linux.
thanks


PS: or maybe make the source linux friendly ?

Haha, mine got deleted for giving people a diversion from their misery. To be exact, these are the two items David has determined to be irrelevant:

Don't pre-order kids  

To be fair, with the groupbuy for these boards they'll be 20% off, so ~US$223. You didn't add on $80 in heatsinks if you can get a deal and say 1/4 of a TPLINK router (assuming running four boards off one) for $13, so you're at ~$320 plus the cost of chips and shipping back and forth.

Obviously just getting a refund is the best option, but if you assume that refunds from BA will be slow to come (or never arrive) getting a Hex4M might be worthwhile.

Sending in 2x the chips and getting an assembled boards is a much better deal though. If you have an X3, sending 96 chips in and getting 12 boards for only shipping and $1300 for heatsinks and TPLINK routers is a great deal. Sure you need to add 6kW worth of power supplies, but you'd have to add almost that much worth for the S3s anyway.

Maybe important to know: Freshcoin is also mineable after the PoW period.  

Incorrect.
Chips are 1w/gh @ 120gh, ~.85w/gh @ 100gh. Tested on live units.
