Can someone offer some sound advice to a fellow XC brethren?

Should I buy a gpu that hashes around 4 MHS X11 or an asic 1.5 Mhs scrypt miner? Both are about the same price.

Thank you for any input on this

i guess the Advantage of an asic is the less power consumption (even less than running your gpu with x11 algo) right? you Need to create an excelfile to calculate the power consumption, helps to decide.
on the other Hand your gpu has a warranty and can be replaced quite fast (when gridseed showed up there were only couple months warranty and replacing them means shipping them worldwide) and a gpu has a value even if the whole cryptocoin Thing dies tomorrow.
hope that helps. i would buy the gpu.

Both places take BTC as payment
One other thing to consider is that the 750Ti will only do about 300kh/s on regular scrypt so for the same money the asic will do 4x more.

I think one would get more profit out of the GPU in the long term compared to a 1mh scrypt asic, esp. considering what is around the corner for scrypt asics.

The superimposed globe with orbiting badassness looks nice.

The problem with the logo is that it looks to much like a certain artist. This logo must be cleared by the artist first before it's submitted. We want to avoid copyright charges.

Check this logo out (taken from this tweet - https://twitter.com/CoinRocket/status/472790874024595456/photo/1), pretty sick:




+1 That's a winner right there.

Mother of all logos. I donated 100 XC for logo bounty thats the winner

This is ripped off from the xavier chambers logo that was posted earlier though. Did anyone get permission to use it?

We cannot use a logo that is lifted from an existing one if we want to be taken seriously. We need a fresh, unique and 100% ours logo. It is extremely important to not base the XC logo on an existing design.



I would argue that it's not wrong to implement characteristics of other designs into a new design as the new logo poster has done.

Lots of people produce products with similar designs. (Look at cars/trucks/vans...) I'd say as long as a certain percentage has changed then it shouldn't be an issue.

I would agree but this has more than just 'characteristics' of that other logo. It's a lawsuit and FUDstorm waiting to happen if it became the official XC logo.


I agree that we need to avoid FUD and suits. That's why I suggested non-overlapping arches.

What do you think of my logo I submitted a couple of days ago?:

I like the arch separation but the circle makes it look like the x-men logo. Scrap the circle, superimpose the earth and orbits, black background, $profit.

Edit: And maybe get rid of the slash in the bottom of the C?

To help improve staking, I've split up the balance in the premine wallet as thetime to age for coins maybe too large and the net weight goes up and down. I would guess it should even itself over time, as more coins split and stake.  It is much better for the coin to get a lot of small blocks instead of large ones.

I'd like to see what it would look like if the two arches were brought out to the left and right a bit so that they do not overlap in the center. You would have a larger earth and I think it would still look good. And less like the chambers logo.
