Not quite sure. Im not much of a C++ kind of guy, but Java isn't the best iirc.

Yes.

If anyone is interested, me and a few people are working on a public GPU miner here: https://github.com/j...krist-miner-gpu

I'm definitely interested, I'll help out. As far as the miner goes, I believe it would be a better idea to start from scratch rather than fork Yevano's miner - turning a CPU miner into a GPU miner isn't simple. I can write the GUI and network code for you.

If you feel like doing it from the ground up will be alot easier, feel free to start a repo, and we can all contribute to that instead. I would start one, but I can't think of what to name it. ^{(and I'm sure people will trust a repo made by you more than one I made)}

Whoever has my account just changed the username to "2pm" the other day.

Just tell mojang that your account got compromised. They'll most likely "save" it.

Send a claim to mojang, include the transaction id, they will force undo the name change and give you the account back. It's a shame someone would compromise your account, of all of them.

In addition to that, use a strong (as in "chunk-norris-strong") password. I'm talking about something like this

1#O?.$s%LvU~kDQqAI]LZ*6Wu1hlmxT=?vd&r47fqUw|\F:b~{n$a~6L*,~|6w;#F:3p+OBAw$:qeBoPrF*M?4V{_cJn^E69rCSFW7YZ~C(YXJ/<!--{#DxQu.2(.h4jky

(But please not this one.)
I'm no crypto expert, but I guess cracking a 801 bit password isn't easy.

(#EDIT: just checked it. This password would be really secure (and I guess mojang accepts passwords of that length). It would take 17 years to crack if the desktop pc used for cracking could do 100 octogintillion calculations per second. if the calculations/s would be kinda normal (10 billion is "normal" i guess) it would take 170 sextillion septuagintillion years or, in numbers... behold...

Or in theory, a couple milliseconds on a quantum computer...

[H4X0RZ]

But who has one of these?

[3d6]

I have no transaction ID and no copy of the purchase email. Mojang said I used Skrill, but I was almost certain I used Paypal. My bank statement says I used Paypal and Skrill says they never saw my email before. I might have lost the account

[H4X0RZ]

What about your PayPal account? Shouldn't it contain information about the purchase?

So, I guess I have mined over 14k Krist in a 4 day span. Thats a huge influx of mining after everyone being so inactive

EDIT: And I have mined over 561 blocks...

I propose a few changes to krist. Here they are:

• Transaction fees that go towards miners (deters thief's moving their money around a lot, and more profit for miners)
  
• Change the hashing algorithm from

  sha256(x)
  

  to

  sha256(sha256(x))
  

  which will allow for compatibility with bitcoin ASICs, and in turn we could halve the current difficulty to make up for the double hashing.
  
• Official websocket connections for miners, would help put less stress on the http interface so the CC wallet will run much faster

EDIT: Also, coss if you are interested I have a spare Minecraft account I could give you for the time being until you can recover your old account if you would like. You can change the name.

Interesting ideas, im really fond of the new hashing and transaction fees.
