I just realized I haven't gotten any NMC deposits in 2 weeks or so. Is there any way to see the NMC queue, or does it all just happen behind the scenes?

Thanks for any insight.

Hey Paxxil,

Just wanted to say thank you. I heavily, heavily modified your script, and quite honestly learned more about PHP along the way than I every thought I'd know. I'd offer up some of the changes, but I'm a total hack and wouldn't begin to know how to properly contribute.

That said, one of the things I've done is to create a static html page with cURL every couple minutes, and point my browser to it. The load time is instant, and I haven't found a downside yet.

So thank you again for a great script, and a great lesson, even if the latter wasn't your intent.

Received the silver bars today, packed well and padded. Thank you bitcool!

I've never had silver or gold -- I'm actually quite excited for my bars to arrive.  I got enough for the kids too, to start them collecting. Sorry Wknight, I sorta hogged 'em.

I'll take one.

Item received, in perfect condition. It was even packed well.  Thanks sp0tter!

Ok, 13.877551 bitcoins sent to the address you gave me.

Sold!  I'm a n00b to buying things with bitcoins, but yeah, I'm in.

Mine arrived today as well, thanks Coblee!

The advantage isn't for folks willing to invest hardware, the advantage with CPU mining is that people can mine without any initial investment. I totally understand what you're saying, and maybe the "accessible to the masses" isn't even a practical idea -- but that's the idea. Anyone can mine with what they have.

Interesting. It's a shame it so close, it would be nice to have a *little* wiggle room.  That said, price parity based on GPU speeds would be a legitimate way to stabilize LTC prices. I just wish it wouldn't stablize the price so low, lol!

If the efficiency is 5-6 times that of a CPU, it's still a far cry from Bitcoin's CPU-worthlessness. It would be interesting to see the math concerning how worthwhile it would be to mine BTC vs LTC on a theoretical GPU scrypt miner.

Perhaps the ability to mine LTC with a GPU will still be moot. If it's more economical to mine for BTC and buy LTC with the profits, it would be foolish to mine LTC with a GPU even if possible.

Anyone like crunching numbers? What would the price of LTC need to be in order to make GPU mining worthwhile? I don't think we're there, but like I said, I haven't run the numbers at all.

OSX Builds:

64 Bit (OSX 10.6 & 10.7): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/828037/pooler_minerd_osx_64bit_Jan11.zip
32 Bit (OSX 10.4 & 10.5): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/828037/pooler_minerd_osx_32bit_Jan11.zip
PPC (OSX 10.4 & 10.5): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/828037/pooler_minerd_osx_ppc_Jan11.zip

NOTE: I'm pretty sure Intel 10.5 can handle 64 Bit applications, but I don't have a development machine running 10.5, my apologies.

NOTE 2: The PPC binary is *not* the optimized code from ssvb. I haven't been able to compile that on my PPC machines. This is just the C implementation.  Pooler made it Big Endian compatible, so I was able to compile it.

Cool, I didn't know about the -mtune flag, thanks. Still, I have to keep OSX on my machines, so compiling is... challenging.

Personally, since I sell the coins fairly quickly after mining them (gotta pay off that hardware!), I send them to MtGox. If I were holding a significant amount of coins, I wouldn't store them there.

Everyone is correct though, I wouldn't leave anything on someone else's site that I couldn't live without.

I got pooler's code to compile for PPC OSX as well (he made the code work for big endian systems now, thanks pooler!), but it fails on some systems I tested on. I'm going to recompile on Monday with a different machine and see how it goes. If I get a good binary, I'll post that as well.

ssvb's code would likely work better for PPC, but I'm having more serious problems compiling it. There are missing header files, etc. I'm sure it's because OSX 10.4 is so old.  (I don't have any machines running 10.5, so I haven't tested ssvb's code there)

Anyway, I'll post a PPC binary if I can get it to work well. If I ever get ssvb's code to compile, I'll post that as well.

I'm trustworthy... No really. 

I'd like to get whitelisted, but no big deal if it can't happen.
