          I’m not really enthusiastic of all those advances in this section :/ some day maybe in a few months or years it will go like BTC and no one without thos Mining Servers and devices will be able to make profit in this case… thats my opinion of all this mining advances

            Wow, how did I miss this? Probably testing Feathercoin 0.8.5?

            Absolutely brilliant, well done…

                      Bloody Brilliant!!!

                      I love coming on here and seeing your updates. I hope you beat Alpha Technologies, but I still preordered with them too.

                      And as everyone else keeps saying “Boy when these are available for sale, I’d sure like to buy them”

                                I’m all for ASIC’s provided they’re financially accessible to the average user. If only the few can buy them, then this is worrisome.

                                  This discussion has been had before. The development od ASICs is not only inevitable, but part of Satoshi’s self developing currency system .

                                  Get used to it.

                                    I don’t want scrypt based coins going the same way as BTC.
                                    I have 5ghs of btc asic miners that are pretty much paper weighs no. At least with some old 5850s you can still mine ftc for real cheap. Not only helping secure the network but make some coin as well. :-\
                                    [/quote]

                                    Here’s what I hear you saying:

                                    “I don’t want scrypt based coins to gain the backing of a huge industry, creating a embedded investment in it’s long term viability, increasing it’s value by over 5,000% in an incredibly short time, revolutionizing how we store and transact value and forcing control of our money out of the hands of institutionalized theft.
                                    I made a bad investment in some obsolete technology, and I’m mad because I spent my money on the wrong thing. At least with some even more outdated technology, I can still acquire the currency at a higher rate than I could on the exchanges.”

                                    I don’t mean to be rude, but that’s not going to garner much sympathy with anyone who’s invested in the future of the currency. ASIC’s represent an evolution of the technology, and saying you don’t want it is like saying you don’t want to put a quarter in the slot when your game is over: It doesn’t matter. You’re going to have to if you want to continue playing.

                                      I’ll give you a titbit of comfort, Scrypt will not have such efficient increase so quickly as SHA256 with the introduction of ASICS.That is because GPU are already a highly invested technology with mass production price benefit.

                                      The second comfort is Scrypt is behind Bitcoins ASICs, so we will jump to a higher state on the back of Bitcoins development.

                                      The most exponential change in cryptocurrency occurs during the early to mid adopter period. Alt scrypt coin are in that period, but as we can see how things went with Bitcoin, we have the opportunity with coins like Feathercoin (with an active membership) to widen that possibility.

                                      It is Feathercoin policy to try to be a “use able currency”,

                                      I see that means every shop will need their handy ASIC miner, to connect to the network, confirm their purchases and be their own transaction system (which make the fees back).

                                      I wish I was not so old and ill, I would love to have all the chances that are open to everyone with the introduction of alternative currency systems. Developing web sites, selling hardware and services to shops etc etc, absolutely amazing…

                                        On a technical note, have you tried a Corsair water cooler? Can you do a graph of KHash/sec against temperature also, with and without the cooler? / voltage against temp / clock v KHash…

                                        Obviously, just to safe temperatures?

                                          using USB block erupters with four GC3355 chip should be more profitable for me and for people having high electricity rates ?

                                          as an example using
