Regrettably, or so your mother mentioned the other day, herpes is not caught "down there", it is a pervasive infection that will stay with you for your entire life and can only be addressed symptomatically, rather than being cured. It is always there, lying in wait for stress, physical exhaustion, or open sores from friction against mucous membranes.

Stress could be brought on from rising to defend your bitchmaster RS/CH/Douchebag too frequently, physical exhaustion from having to sound out the big words in others posts before crafting another of your juvenile retorts, and the friction rubs... well we can leave that to your imagination, but be sure to ask RS/CH/Douchebag for a reach around at the next ShortBusCoin programmers and other really intelligent peoples meeting.

That's some serious "you completely and utterly pwned him".

mods, can we have a plugin for a "like" button here?

Yes need like button!

The discussion here, however, is about LTC and if you are silly enough to waste electricity on LTC ~~GPU~~ mining, ~~then you would most probably also be LTC CPU mining~~ 'nuff said...

Fixed that shit for you.

Typical Psytard....

Can make an argument on an actual statement.

Suck my dick! That's my argument on your statement.

Actually that would be a request, with an unnecessary qualifying statement, as opposed to an argument vis a vis the preceding statement. If you had wanted to express a rebuttal argument, you might have used something like "Your statement is egregiously fallacious, my argument was more in the form of an oblique ad hominem attack, and if you were able to find my dick, I would encourage you to perform fellatio on it." Please, do try try to show some effort here, just being a vacuous simpleton is so ShortBusCoin.

Remember, mtrlt released to the public the *demo* version, aka slow version. This version was just to prove Scrypt is more efficient on a gpu than it is on a cpu.

Using dishwara's numbers from that screenshot (219kh/s), and an estimated 5870 power consumption of 188w, that makes for 1.16kh/w.
Using data from the litecoin wiki it seems a top of the line cpu gets 25kh/s at 125w, that makes for 0.2kh/w.
Being generous, and assuming the litecoin wiki is out of date, and using poolers latest miner, lets just give the cpu 50kh/s at the same 125w, that is still only 0.4kh/w.

Scrypt is *not* gpu unfriendly.

BTW, the current private version of Reaper is getting over 2kh/w when mining scrypt.

Comparing GPU and CPU mining and the power required... Why is it that the power used in the computations are only the consumption of the GPU? GPU's can't do squat without a CPU. CPU can mine even with a crappy Intel IGP. When comparing power numbers, please use the wall usage numbers.

Not only this, but, unlike mining btc, high voltage is required to the onboard ram on the gpu as hashing speed for ltc is both ram and gpu dependent. So, ltc mining will always have added power draw as compared to btc mining where the memory can be underclocked. Further, a 95w sandy bridge cpu can easily do 30kh/s undervolted to 75w or 35kh/s stock.. Undervolted 1055ts can do about 32kh/s at 80w. This is all done without maximizing the thermal limits of the hardware like with this new gpu miner, too.

No, coz unless your using a crappy GPU miner, the miner will hardly use any CPU - so the CPU is available for whatever else you want to do with it.
My linux box downclocks itself to 1.2Ghz (from 3.07GHz) and still uses only 2% of a single CPU to GPU mine BTC (2x6950)
Thus yes if you are wasting that CPU and doing nothing with it - you are ... wasting that CPU and doing nothing with it.
The discussion here, however, is about LTC and if you are silly enough to waste electricity on LTC GPU mining, then you would most probably also be LTC CPU mining ...

I think it is important to point out that "scrypt is not GPU resistant" is unproven. The settings used in LiteCoin aren't the recommended defaults by the author. It is possible LTC could regain "resistance" (as dubious as I personally think that is) by simply modifying 3 integer values in the source code.

The author of scrypt may be interested in this project however w/o source code I doubt he will share any insights.

Given that this thread was started by CoinHunter (who no longer claims to be the creator of SolidCoin, but just a normal troll), he's not going to lock this thread. And the mods probably don't care enough either. I guess the best thing is to stop replying to this thread.

Of course people will have to update their clients and miners, but if the transition is planned out carefully there should be no risk. Once the software chain knows about the switch, it can handle it automatically. There's support for this in the protocol.

EDIT: I think this discussion should move to the dedicated thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/thread-about-gpu-mining-and-litecoin-64239

Yes, this thread is pure bullshit FUD. I have never GPU mined Litecoin. If you have thoughts about what (if anything) we should change with Litecoin with respect to this GPU miner, please continue the discussion in the thread I started. Thanks.
