Expecting Cryptsy to be invulnerable at this point is unrealistic.  This is the 2nd distinct attack in 24 hours.  Of course it sucks but blaming Vern is unfounded.

The trollboxes are blasting "they couldnt even get the timer to work right." yikes

This addon is kinda easy to use for the technologically inclined but for those that aren't, and don't like Cryptsy's light color scheme:

Style 'Cryptsy Dark Army' for cryptsy.com

The following part is for use by the Firefox Add-on 'Color That Site!'

For competitive pvp'ers and casual pve'ers, there is still a lot of game to play.  For those that thrive on the sense of accomplishment from old school pve difficulty, it's dead.

I have wow gold to sell as well!

My PPC confirmed rewards have been 0.04 more than my payout threshold for weeks  

IMHO Coinotron is in desperate need of a payout on demand feature!!

Try this.  Read all steps first.  You probably have client v0.6.3.  You need 0.6.4.  I just did this for my FTC wallet 10 minutes ago with success.  This procedure should work for updating any coins' client, and should fix a corrupted blockchain.  All these precautions are intended to prevent you from deleting or moving an important file mentioned below.

0.)  Don't empty your recycling bin until your FTC update is complete and successful (fatfinger precaution).

1.)  Delete the Feathercoin folder (.exe file, some .dll's, text files).  This folder was included in your original client's zip file.

2.)  Delete everything in the FeatherCoin AppData folder **BUT NOT the "wallet.dat" file!!!**  Leave the folder and the wallet.dat file, and if you've made a Feathercoin.conf file you can leave that in there too.  Just don't delete the wallet.dat file.  This folder is probably located C:\Users\(you)\AppData\Roaming\FeatherCoin.  The folder "AppData" is hidden - enable "show hidden files" to access it.

3.)  Download and run (assuming windows) http://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin-Clients/raw/master/feathercoinqt-win-0.6.4.1.zip.  This is v0.6.4 from the FTC homepage 6/14/2013.

You're done!  If you've reinstalled without bothering the original wallet.dat file, you should have all your addresses as they were, and the blockchain will re-download.

I'm a noob miner.  What value should I set CGminer's "-w" at?  It seems to default to 64 - is that ok?  It's a lot higher than others and I get 20k h/s less than at xpool.  My command line:

one HD6870:
 --scrypt --expiry 1 --queue 0 -I 18 -g 1 -s 1 --gpu-platform 0 -d 0 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 6720 -o http://dgc.cryptocoinmine.com:7070 -u worker -p password

and woohoo, my pool user id is 2

Fast coin, great rewards, the name has "board appeal" and real buzz potential imo, ... and xpool servers are only 100 miles away  I'm on board for as long as the devs are.

My $.02: Over time, the inconvenience of ("1st generation?") slower coins will weigh on their value and usefulness (i.e. LTC).  Bitcoin is the exception as it's too public to be replaced anytime soon, and would only shake public confidence of cryptocoins if it was.

Furthermore, I think the average consumer would expect a digital currency to be instant to consider using it over fiat.  I know if my mom was waiting for 6 confirmations for BTC, she would think her internet was slow or that she needs a new phone.  Something fast like DGC sidesteps all the currency spenders' inevitable, collective frustration while waiting for services.

Am I a newb for being alarmed the wallet won't sync?  How is this resolved (what are we waiting for)?

CHC is fail, and China succeeds, so since America is failing, AMC will succeed.

My logic is bulletproof.

Awareness of this coin still seems low - is there a good post for why DGC is better than WDC that I can refer others too?

I've found 4 blocks in 2 hours.   300ks/s 6870

you are teh awesome

There's almost enough info in the original post for a newb like me to figure it out how to mine it.  Being an idiot is exhausting.

Do we just show up, or... I dunno how to play. heelp

Curious to see how this one does!

THX!

I expect that some criminals using LR (it's safe to assume there were at least a few, right?) will resort to other methods of moving money that impose more risk to themselves.  It seems to me that statistically, they should get caught sooner.

IMO if even one of them is involved in human trafficking, the whole bust is worth it.  I wouldn't be surprised to see more people getting caught laundering money now that the cover of LR is gone.

Flame thread alert!
I agree.  Opposite ends of the Bell curve throwing poop at each other.  How do you guys keep finding each other?  The sentiment opposed by the OP is held by a small minority.

I learned about crypto-mining through the hardware enthusiast community.  I stopped playing video games because my GPU has better things to do now

No more litecoin hype plz - the coin doesn't do anything the other coins don't, and it's slow.  It's got seniority, which is great until enough people/merchants ask, "there are faster coins?!? why aren't we using them?!?"
