Title: Mined my first coin! Post by: TKHatch on July 29, 2011, 12:13:05 AM Today I mined my first whole Bitcoin. I know I'm taking all the credit when really I should be thanking my 5870, but she's a been a bit hot and bothered recently so I'll congratulate her later.
Crazy I know. But I have a feeling if my GPU could actually be angry with me it would be right now. More so than that time I stayed up for 24 hours playing Crysis. But to be honest on that one, if I was standing next to my GPU (albeit in a life like human conscious form) - stay with me - she would probably shake my hand. Having enjoyed every minute of the splendid graphics Crysis had to show her. If knowing that my GPU would hypothetically be angry with me isn't enough to worry about, the wife hates the noise and heat that my poor 5870 throws out whilst she's mining. So I have no choice but to quit. It was short and sweet, I probably lost more than I gained, didn't really learn anything useful but hey, they say not all marriages work out.

That place of which must not be of existence must not exist.Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: TKHatch on July 29, 2011, 12:10:02 PM I wrote that whilst I was stoned so it may not make much sense. ::)
Was trying to say I'll quit my marriage rather than mining, I love it. :P Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: dt14 on July 29, 2011, 01:19:23 PM Congrats!
I'm not sure what these wives have against productivity and making money. They sure are good at spending it! Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: gochk on July 29, 2011, 02:05:36 PM talk about total trust in btc's future.

I still only have 0.001 btc. Once my 9800GT gets back up and running I'll be good =D Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: SHlFT on July 29, 2011, 04:31:58 PM Mining with a 9800GT?

Is it a male or a female? Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: Ringmasta on July 30, 2011, 07:29:04 PM I'm up to .73 after about a week of mining with my 5830.
Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: TKHatch on July 30, 2011, 11:25:35 PM OK so I compromised with the Wife.
I have my 5870 running at around 275Mhash/s. With flags set to -v -w128 -s0.01 Note the -s for throttling the card. My card clock and Mem is 900/900 Fan: 44% Temps: 74%. That way it's not to hot, nor to loud, everyone's happy. [edit] Image tags aren't working? ??? Title: Re: Mined my first coin! Post by: ampirebus on July 30, 2011, 11:32:30 PM lol just you wait itll get plenty hot ! im running 2x 6870s and the wife made me relocate my computer into the basement from the bedroom because of the noise and heat combination

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it (and how to do that, once I figure it out). What do you want to buy?People are selling snacks, shirts, games...etc Title: Re: Mined my first coin!

Barring that, I have to wait until a confluence of something I want and someone who will accept BTC for it occurs. Title: Re: Mined my first coin!
