Not enough for fees unless you're willing to wait forever for the transaction to confirm.

Nope sorry xD
There is not much you can do with those minimal amounts.
Even if you collect tons of very small amounts, you are not able to spend them, because the fee will increase.
(It's like collecting cents and trying to pay $1000 with them)

With some wallet modifications you can send them with anyway, but they are likely to be "stuck", because nobody wants to transfer them.

I had a wallet with a bunch of small transactions in it. It went through with a fee of 0.0005, though I did notice it was markedly slower than a transaction from fewer addresses.

You could always keep an encrypted copy on a USB? That'd make you pretty safe.

Personally, I don't trust online wallets, and only keep minimal amounts stored in them. I like the convenience of Coinbase on my Android, because most of the other wallet apps crash constantly.

I tried mining all day but I keep getting the hardware error "Invalid nonce"

My mining GPU is a Diamond Radeon HD 6570.  I'm running the latest catalyst drivers on Ubuntu 13.04. 

I can't get any shares going because of the errors.  Has anyone else experienced this error and if so, how did you fix it? 

Thanks

Well it's a start, I usually pay 0.0005 in transaction fee for a transfer though.  Just keep feeding your wallet and it will grow.

Maybe try a different miner perhapps?

I tried all the versions from 2.4.x to 3.1.1, but the card keeps getting the hardware error.  I figure it's the driver so I'm downloading the legacy driver.  Hopefully it works out!  My little bro's bitmining now and his radeon 7700 handles mining like a champ.

I'm having this same issue on my HD 5770.  Ubuntu 13.04 only works with the 13.3-beta3 cataylst drivers but when I try it, I get the "invalid nonce" error too.  This system is dual boot, so I booted to Win7 and found that I also get mining errors with the latest catalyst driver, but when I use catalyst 11.11 and Win7, it works.  I can't simply revert the drivers on my Ubuntu install though.  I find that it will not load the catalyst 11.11 driver.

After wasting a few hours on this, I'm just going to give up.  This card is too old to be worth the effort.  I'll get a newer card soon (not primarily for mining), preferably one where the latest linux drivers actually work.

After way to much time mining, I am finally up to .2 btc  Sadly, I still can not find anything that I can buy. Most places still do not accept btc, just lots and lots of online casinos lol.

For me, i prefer to keep it or maybe invest it through a bitfunder for a long term period. Who knows how much USD per BTC would be in the future  ;)
