The Bitcoin Tracking Thread

[Ares]

I've been into it pretty heavily for the last 7-10 days. I was thinking and working on getting a GSUS pool together, but those ASIC machines are going to put any GPU COTS machines to waste, and really not worth the effort.

Litecoin does look like a good alternative since they rely more on CPUs and RAM more so than the sha256 hashes with BTC. Most people, [esp if you're running Linux] have machines CPUs that are underutilized, and [I believe] worth looking into.

Well Steyr_m check this out.

Mt.Gox confirmed that they are going to start having Litecoin on the exchange. This is HUGE

From the IRC channel:

MagicalTux has changed the topic to: Mt.Gox 24/7 IRC support channel | don t ask to ask, just ask | offtopic goes to ##mtgox-chat | tickers and trades on #mtgox-RT and #bitcoin-RT | LTC support coming soon
<bittrader> MagicalTux is it ok for me to make a news press release about LTC coming soon?
<MagicalTux> bittrader: I cannot officially announce how "soon" "soon" means
<Plarkplark> @MagicalTux thanks, how great. Or is this April-1 joke?
<Jx8p> well, let's just say my mining riggs are going to be e-xxx-panding
<thrasher`> I hope it isn't an april-1 joke haha
<ypSami> Plarkplark: MagicalTux is in Japan. The Japanese have no sense of humor. :P
<bittrader> thats ok I can just write that Mt.Gox has not provided an exact time frame for release
<Jx8p> come on the 5th. Payday1
<Jx8p> *!
<MagicalTux> bittrader: you can say that MtGox is exploring the possibility of adding LTC to its trading engine
<MagicalTux> basically the only thing that remains is to write the communication with the Litecoin network
<bittrader> ok
<MagicalTux> that's a large part
<MagicalTux> but thanks to our platform, adding a new currency to the trading engine is as easy as clicking a few options in an admin interface


This is massive. Litecoin price will skyrock.
