The effect would be the same on Deepbit if he was showing the expected reward.

Gold has been considered valuable for thousands of years, and obviously it's always been mined purely because it was considered valuable. Bitcoins on the other hand started out as a political movement, and still largely is.

Nice, but it would be more user friendly if you add a text field for the address and a submit button to this page, so people don't have to manipulate the address field.

Your pyopencl is probably compiled against 2.2.

Mining just needs to get more efficient. You don't need that much more attention. Some technological breakthrough similar to GPU mining when it came out would destroy the difficulty. New cards that are more efficient could come out. There are a lot of things that can make difficulty grow fast.
That would give the opposite effect of what the messages I responded to were predicting. I'm saying that difficulty will increase almost no matter what happens.

It's impossible to say, it depends on how much the difficulty increases.

Bitcoin hasn't even had it's first publicity in a "big" media outlet yet. The point is that the publicity has to get bigger and bigger to feed the exponential growth that is required to keep the difficulty at bay.
|

That's perfect! As long as the price goes up before the difficulty the miners are in the money.
Unfortunately there's no guarantee for that. In February/March the price fell almost 50% from the top while the difficulty tripled. Unless there is a regular flow of publicity in big media outlets the difficulty will rise much more than the price.
|
|
|
Let's just hope the price follows the uptrend with the difficulty. It has historically up to this point.
No, generally the difficulty follows the price, which follows the level of publicity Bitcoin gets in the media.

If you buy that kind of hardware your price/Mhash is going to be way too high compared to the people you compete with.

any clues why it pointed the wrong time and cannot retrieve my details ?, i have installed json-perl and libio-all-lwp-perl.
The parameter can't be read with my $acc = $1; it needs to be my $acc = shift; or my $acc = $ARGV[0];

so on a dedicated mining rig without other python called processes running "$pkill -9 python" would work fine from cron. I've always wondered what the difference is between using the python prefix command or just the $./process.py ... doesn't seem to make a difference to hashrate but who knows ...
The only difference is that if you do python <file> the shell will execute python which then loads and runs <file>. If you run ./<file> the shell will read <file>, see the starting #! characters (pronounced shebang) and then execute the program in the first line of it (often /usr/bin/python) with <file> as parameter.

2. The other option is to find a BIOS someone has already modified (or use RADEON BIOS Editor) to set different voltages from the existing voltage table within your card. This can be dangerous, but is achievable as I flashed my XFX 5870 with a modified ASUS BIOS. I didn't get software voltage control, but the BIOS was reporting that it was using a higher voltage than before. If your XFX isn't a reference card it probably uses a voltage controller that isn't compatible with the bios you flashed. If that's the case it may look like the voltage is changed, but it's actually using preset values.

Have you checked if you're allowed to distribute the AMD/ATI software?

It's Bitcoin, because it's more work to type the other alternatives.

You sir are a god damned idiot.
Although I agree that the PSU is more than powerful enough, this kind of reply doesn't exactly encourage people to try to help you.

Since I've no windows machine around I would like to know if there is a way to unlock my Sapphire HD6950 under linux.
There may be easier ways to do it, but I would make a bootable USB-stick with Free-DOS or similar and a flash utility. Boot to it, dump your current firmware to "original.bin". Boot back to Linux, run the attached script on it, and boot with the stick again to flash it. <?php $file=@file_get_contents("original.bin"); if ($file===FALSE) { echo "Could not find input BIOS. Put it in this folder and name it original.bin\n"; exit(); }
$search=chr(0x4A).chr(0x8D).chr(0x54).chr(0x22).chr(0xFF).chr(0x0F).chr(0x49); $idx=strpos($file, $search); if ($idx!==FALSE) { $idx+=strlen($search)-1; $file[$idx]=chr(0x43); $file[33]=chr((ord($file[33])+6) & 0xFF);
file_put_contents("modded.bin", $file); echo "BIOS has been modded successfully and saved as modded.bin\n"; } else { echo "Could not find byte sequence in file.\n"; }
I've used this script with my Sapphire 6950 2GB and it works. Wouldn't do it if you don't have one of the original 2 GB cards, though.

The 5850 can be unlocked to a 5870 with a simple bios upgrade. and I think they have a dual bios so you can't brick them either.
It's the 6950 that can be unlocked, and even then it's only partly true.
