    problem My AVG FREE 2014 doesn't post the end time of a scan?

    I don't run AV either, but all my systems are running Linux. Doug, if you have admin rights, I'd just disable the McAfee services. That's what I did at my last job where corporate Norton was installed. Doing software development with AV running is a nightmare.

    Alternative folding support idea - mining for coins to fund F@H

    Both BTC and LTC took a pounding today. Is it still worth mining at the current price?

    I setup a screensaver, but it doesn't appear to make a difference. I also tried restarting the screensaver and FAHClient services. I guess my only option is to remember to enable it. Not really ideal.

    I would like to configure one of my systems to fold when idle. I moved the slider to "Idle," and then left for 20 minutes to go to lunch. I came back and it hadn't done anything. Is there any trick to getting this to work correctly with Linux?

    Another thing to consider is that when the difficulty of LiteCoin increases to a degree that it's no longer profitable, you could always switch to another cryptocurrency.

    Alternative folding support idea - mining for coins to fund F@H

    I don't think there are any ASICs available for mining LiteCoin (scrypt). Even if they are developed, I don't think the gain will be nearly as big as what was gained for BTC. Additionally, GPUs can be repurposed much more easily.

    Or just hold the LTC you mine as a long term investment. I doubt anyone ever thought BTC would hit $1200 when they were worth less than a dollar.

    I hope the price of LTC doesn't drop through the floor. If it does, your F@H contributions might increase dramatically.

    Alternative folding support idea - mining for coins to fund F@H

    Unless you plan to keep mining, it doesn't make a lot of sense to sell the small amount you have. I have an account on Mt Gox, but I can't trade LTC there yet. Mt Gox may eventually be able to trade LTC, but I'm not holding my breath.

    It probably makes a lot of sense right now with the price of ltc. If the price drops under a dollar it won't make much sense. LiteCoin is much newer than btc so the difficulty of mining is much lower.
