I have a plan.
1. Everyone registers on Wikipedia.
2. Checks the article.
3. If it's incorrect - corrects it.
4. Repeat in a couple of days.
I bet those suckers will give up 1st.

I'll take that bet!!! Try it, spend the weekend at it, and then see. (Please do!
)Well done, now give up when you're ahead. Dont get greedy and try to make a bit more. It just kinda sounds like that's what you'd possibly try to do...the vibes i get anyway.

Éire, thank god that names not used anymore. I only recall it ever being used on television by the BBC / ITV during Italia 90 games!

Since we are in the Newbies section (and I am still pretty much noob), can you explain to me why this would fail for LTC?
...
I would presume because the Scrypt algorithm method used by LTC mining is more dependant on using Random Access Memory in conjuntion with the GPU processor(s).
Simple golden rule. Never trust anyone anywhere with Bitcoins. Chances are, a very large percentage of people 'invested' (in time and / or money) in Bitcoins are out to make a quick buck if they can.
The problem with the crypto-currencies is the difficulty in purchacing anything with them in the 'real world'. If that gets addressed, the price will rocket further. But to take worldwide standardization in implementation is far from a sure thing. Far far from a sure thing.
Wonder how long it will last? 
If you're going for a 900 watt PSU it would make sense to consider 2 Graphics cards for mining. That would make your machine more cost efficient.
As for the hardware, maybe others might be best to assist. Best of luck!

Great first post and my sentiments exactly. It seems to me that the Feathercoins of this world only exist solely to justify mining. They are pointless and an unnessesary expense of electricity, effort and cost, IMHO
I use to do btc for awhile, then ltc, now im going to fc just for fun, im using my laptop to mine stuff, its darn slow haha
I would not recommend mining with a laptop. 100% CPU usage will kill it quite shortly
Re: less than 3 hrs to the "attack", will it affect your trading?
Nothing is happening 
Angry face... disapponted with the lack of a DDoS attack so he can't make a quick buck as they hoped.
I hope you were being sarcasting, and hope that the above sentence is false. If the above sentence is true, then you are a parasitic leech who deserves to die in the most unfortunately comically painful way.
Just my humble opinion... mate.
UPDATE:
Irish finance minister - statement about Bitcoin
'We want no Brits here. Britcoins are not welcome now and never shall be. They are an offence to all our brothers who fought valiantly in for Republican freedom in Easter 1916.
Oh, BITcoins..... Sorry, my bad. Wait, same answer. An offence to Irish Republicanism.'

so should bitcoin worry?
no
no
Not even from the reduction of conficence that each DDOS brings to the concept of Bitcoins to the 'outside' world? I dont think you are accepting the impact this could have for Bitcoin in the long term.
let's try to build up a good forum at http://BitForum.org
this forum here sucks .. i cant even respond to threads anywhere but here. What is the point? I read a thread I'm interested in, and I can't respond. And I have 4hrs+ and more than 5 posts.
LAME!
So I should learn Russian so I can read the few posts that exist on there? Good luck building another BTC forum that can compete with this one. I really do wish you luck, it'd be nice to have multiple forums. this forum here sucks .. i cant even respond to threads anywhere but here. What is the point?

Also, if you are here for legit reasons (questionable), the n00b restrictions are quite minimal. Also, ever heard of whitelist?
Not just Russian... got Spam also
Anyone know if an exploit can launch from clicking on the notifications or messages at the upper right box with your username? I clicked to open a notification (notif) from someone I did not recognize. The notification did not load even after several attempts so I didn't even have the opportunity to click on any links in the notification, if there were any. After I did that however, I could not navigate to other parts of the site like my finances and profile. It would say that I'm not logged in, but when I return to the homepage, it says that I'm logged in.
Certainly sets off a few warning flags. I'd not keep too much in your account. Although i'd be very surprised if the site enabled notifications allowed script executions but at the same time, it's not intangible.
Re: Bootstrap.dat takes more than 10 hours to update the whole blockchain
Hi Abdussamad,
I have read about electrum before but is it usable for a bitcoin payment gateway system?
Btw, I found out that using the new version 0.8 it only takes a couple hours to process the whole blockchain.

Using 0.8 as a noob into this and can confirm this to be the case.
i'm sure i got it from the Miner software i downloaded as there is no other avenue it could have came from.
Um, It could have come from an AD on any website, related to bitcoins, or bitcoin-mining... Or any other legitimate website.
But I digress...
Yes, everyone should be careful on the internet. Browsing is more dangerous than "installing" programs, because you do that more, and "assume", it is safer. (Especially if you use a virus scanner, and non MSIE browser, thus, assuming even more, and being more vulnerable with multiple ways to get infected now.)
Every legitimate program you add, with false security promises, and open ports... is simply another way for a virus to get inside. (Look at a port monitor, and you will see you have about three dozen open ports, from about 12 programs, at any one time.)
But it MUST be the bitcoin programs, because that is what you "knowingly" installed... (Um, ironic that you just confessed to doing something that you, in hind-sight, know leads to infections.
)Good luck with your scans... Make sure you change the "default" settings of your scanner to... "Scan all files", and "Include common files", and "deflate all zipped files", and "Do not exclude ____ type of file". The "default" settings, even for a "Full scan" does not scan all files. It only focuses on the most potential files, and often skips the majority of actual infected files, because they hide as somevirus.txt, somevirus.jpg, somevirus.mp3, etc...
Helps if you do a boot-scan too, without being online, where more viruses can just drop in, after the dropper has detected you "just scanned this folder", dropping a backup-dropper. That also allows system files to be scanned, before they start. Since viruses usually start there. (They crash a system file, infect it quickly, then the file restarts after it sees it has crashed, and now it infects every other system along the way.)
Okay this i very helpful information and i thank you for it, and this has led me to think that i may stand corrected.
I am thinking that a rogue coin related website, as i have browsed an awful lot recently, may be just as likely (or more likely?) to have caused the virus. Thank you for pointing out.
