Sounds like you almost certainly spending more on electricity mining than you are earning in bitcoins arleady. You will never get ahead without upgraded hardware. If you are serious about mining, then I suggest that you invest in the necessary hardware [used will work if you know the hardware is in good shape].
I do not run all day, only done that twice. I am also not serious as I'm more checking this bitcoin thing out and get in early JUST IN CASE. I also use a CPU miner with unused left-on computers at my college (I'm evil) |

Hmm, this is weird..I have "0.63640126 BTC" showing as unconfirmed and it has been that way for many hours. No new blocks show up in the stats and none that I participated in so I guess I can kiss these bitcoins goodbye?
it has to be confirmed 100 times before he sends it. |

I'm sure all the F@H CPU/GPU combined has a way higher TFLOP than Bitcoin...
I was going to say, they just hit 7 PFLOPS in march. How can we be at 15 PFLOPS?! |

I found 1 block at slushs pool, but simply by luck.(on a cpu miner no doubt)
I'm still only at 7 BTC after a few months.

Im sorry but if things continue on being unstable as they are im gonna have to take me and my miners to another more stable pool i certainly like the idea of a miner fail over and i understand things are not easy for you slush ..
but until such time as the pool is stable i don't think you should be charging the pool 2% for a unstable service
it is understandable that thing can and will go up and down but there should be some forum of redundancy for your service
Few months on slush's pool and this is the first issue I've ever seen. with that also said it's to bad because i was hoping to hit top 5 miners in the next couple of months
huh? the hall of fame is who got lucky ad found the actual solutions. much like say a cell phone would you be willing to pay for it if it only work and 1/8th of a time ? People use AT&T. |

I just purchased a Radeon 5830 off tigerdirect.com for a cool $100 with 2 games.
Link? |

2.) why do people need a payout from pool of 0.20 BTC like 5 times a day (see screenshot somewhere above)? Do they spend these coins instantly? Do they not trust slush for 1 BTC? (note: I don't really care, since a lot of transactions are a good test of the network, I just don't understand the logic)
If you look it's like twice a day(i had special situation for that to happen) to once every two weeks, I'm a slow miner so I get a nice feeling just getting them sent to me, I'm not worried or anything. I should probably turn it up to 1BTC though, but with difficulty sky rocketing, it be a month maybe before i'd get paid ~$4 worth of BTC.... EDIT: This is a problem with bitcoin, if small transactions are bad, then that spells trouble. IRL I could give back and forth a penny to someone a million times withour issue, in Bitcoin this is terrible. If you buy a piece of gum, your stressing the network... there's too much reliance on others to make sure it works. |

No payouts going out to addresses... Users definitely loosing profit if those BTCs are not in the markets...
can only pay out when the blocks finish, plus it's a once an hour payout. |

i switched to BTCmine since there was no payout! there isnt even a payout button on the user page. i am getting a little bit suspicious now...
EDIT: upon further investigation i suspect serious botnet activity on the pool
48 Ghash/s with 2000 connected workers indicates a whole lot of slow miners as only a botnet would have...
actually, my CPU miners are connecting and losing connection every so often, my poclbm(opencl miner) isn't connecting at all(once in a while it'll work) and that where the real power is. No, it's not a botnet. The system doesn't work on a payout button system, it works on a "if my miners make XX amount, then send it". The pool rate is based on 30min average, it is NOT a 'right now' number. since clients are connecting and disconnecting, it's expected to drop to a low number. Slush's pool is and has always been legit. bitcoins from slush's pool  current problem(TOP: opencl miner, BOTTOM: 4way miner(CPU))  |

It has OpenGL and CUDA, which from what I gather are the important things here.
Open CL Big difference in the two. |

I love you OP
My mining went from ~14mhash/s with 4way on my phenom ll x6 1055T
to ~40-50mhash/s!! Desktop is unusable, but I'll use it when i'm not using the computer
(and thanks thedrs for showing a usable command line, i was clueless on it's use)
I've sent you a tiny donation to ya OP. I'm bitcoin poor but it's something.
EDIT: It's seems to be using my GPU too... how can I turn that off? I want to see how fast it is with sse2 compared to like 4way

As this issue affect my pool, I offer 15 BTC to anybody who pull keep-alive patch for phoenix (in fact it should be relatively simple as phoenix is coded clearly).
If only I knew remotely how, after a few months, I've earn 1/3 of that at your pool.(I found one block through, too bad i was in a pool for it, i could have had 50!) |

I... I didn't know!  |
|

|

or if on windows, the task scheduler that no one uses these days
(i need to learn cron...)

I feel so outmatched.
at home, i have a 5570 that gets 63 MH/s(.063 GH/s) going to the slush pool. i run it when the PC is on. and I'm glad just to be getting that 64mh
at least I'm mining when I can when at school.

Why not put another card in your current rig and set your miner to only use only that card?

ahh, that's right, the bitcoins can go like 8 decimal places, it takes a very long time for what i said to be any actually issue.

So bitcoins will never go passed 21mil coins...
but what happens when data is loss? the money in someones wallet is lost?(yeah, yeah, back ups)
if you take into account that wallets can be lost, that means the total bitcoins count will lower and never recover...
Does this mean bitcoins can slowly go out of existence? maybe to a point that it needs to be restarted with new algorithm?
it's like pebble money really, you can pick up alot at the beginning but it slows down in finding them. throw some pebbles into the ocean, the total pebble count lowers, over time pebbles can be lost by people. then they may have to move to shells.
am i understanding this right? or am i missing something
