i use the drop down on two instantiations of guiminer and it works fine. it just gets redirected to the right place.

Can't all the games gamers play be modified to benefit humanity? Go bother them, there are more of them than us.

More likely he was a Mathematician or EE who knew how to program. Comp. Sci. types tend to understand the need for a disciplined approach to programming..

I just installed cgminer on a little eeePC netbook because I got a new Erupter and my USB hub for my regular miner hasn't come yet. I must say that once i read the right READMEs the install went pretty quick. i had to get 7zip and that zadig program, but it all worked well. Normally, i only use this machine to browse and read books. now it is hashing too(temporarily).


Thanks guys for a great mining program.

I had done some crazy shit when i used to ride, but this is Insane. Don't try this at home

Can you make your own chips? sure, you slice potatos very thin and drop them in boiling oil.... um.... never mind, wrong forum. 

Since nonone else asked, Did you get to meet Lisbeth?   

hey, at least Gold can withstand an EMP attack. 

I wonder what they think of Butterfly Labs accepting Paypal.

buy Gold.  

Ok, this is getting nuts. there is nothing inheritantly wrong wrong with goto. the problem is that not everyone uses them responsibly. there once was a time in history when poor use of goto created what was called "spaghetti code" where people used goto's to jump into the middle of functions and such all over the place. this made the code hard to read and costly to return. This caused the stigma on goto. Structured Programming using accepted constructs becae the norm.

For any company paying to have code developed, Maintainability became the mandate. Arguing about goto accomplishes nothing. if you are coding for free, do what ya want, go ahead, develop bad habits. Somebody will make you confrom sooner or later.  the US Gov. spent hugh sums getting ADA developed and used to encourage a common structured, readable language. Today, ADA isn't so popular, i suspect because the rebels couldn't do what ever they wanted.

The thing to do if you are coding for public consumption is to write and document your code as if the next person isn't as smart as you and what is clear to you may not be clear to them. Do this and you'll be a successful Professional Programmer/Software Engineer.

Of course it is OK.  Most pools are open to anyone who wants to join them.

Welcome to the Madness!

so, anyone with the time, the knowledge, and the desire can rewrite it in any language.  as for it being used. I don't see that being an issue. It doesn't mean that it can't be done.

Sounds to me like someone is mad that they don't have the resources to do what others do. No one ever declared that Bitcoin should be a communist endeaver. If the bread crumbs you get aren't enough then quit mining. It takes money to make money and ASICminer found away. Why shouldn't they reap the rewards.

Money, is money. as long as it isn't counterfit there is no good or bad money. there is most likely money in your pocket that was used in an illegal activity at one time or another. Should we take it away from you?

Isn't this open source? anybody can rewrite the code in any language that they want.

The pool would have to check every share because in software anything can be done on the mining end.

Odd that even though our hash rate is up, we don't seem to be finding blocks much faster.

is bitcoin gambling? not in the traditional sense, but for many, it is kind of a game. It is a competition to get a bigger piece of the pie. Many are looking for an angle. Today i was on TI.com trying to decide if DSPs might have a chance. I decided not. This has been going on long enough that just about everything has been tried, looked at. But, we all like to think that we might come up with something different that works. Who knows, someone might. So we all keep trying, we keep mining, turning a blind eye to the inevitable.

I buy on amazon and get stuff in days.
