I don't really understand bitcoins. Seems to me like "waste electricity and we'll give you some made up currency!" What am I missing?

How can the algorithm be faster to calculate, but be more complex? -- |

As far as I understand the Litecoin algorithm requires a lot of random memory access, something GPUs are bad at.

Thomas Fjellstrom said: How can the algorithm be faster to calculate, but be more complex? Yes indeed, it's it. Though its mem req is still small enough to fit in to CPU cache, which is perhaps a bit sad. May may trouble in the long run, more mem req would be wiser IMO. In litecoin, the calculation difficulty is readjusted each block(as I understand), so that the next block would be found(on average) in 150 sec. And in bitcoin the value is set to 600sec. For no reason, either. So Litecoin is a bit more bandwidth intense, but it performs transactions faster. (x4)

I don't understand it either. The browser game never finishes loading, and the downloadable zipfile isn't valid, yadda yadda yadda. Did Matt put Yves up to this? They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

My character is a Double Hobbit Battle-Felon. One day I'll sell this character for over $100! "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

Name Broockwheb I've only recently started, but I reckon I'm doing pretty well so far. I've got 27 gold. That's more gold than I have bitcoins. ----------- |

You buy things with your gold. You cannot get very far with only a sharp rock as your weapon. |

It looks like this guy, erm.. "Talking P0ny" finds some place to dump his gold to, since it's still a pony with a sharp rock.. And still five hours til' something. Oh well. He only takes one tab. {"name":"607393","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/4\/648b716b4006baeeb7ba09aa1fed9dd6.png","w":1680,"h":1050,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/6\/4\/648b716b4006baeeb7ba09aa1fed9dd6"}

I'm going to take out a big ass loan to buy many many Bitcoin's. Just need the value to drop a bit more. Quick, someone spread some false rumour to make it drop! In capitalist America bank robs you. |
