I embraced myself once... my mom caught me and i got a stern talking to from my dad.

Sadly, this is a bad time to be starting. The amount of hashing power being introduced at present makes it just about impossible to make a profit. However, if you are looking for a hobby, you can mine with just about any ATI graphics card and the cgminer software. Join a pool and mine away. just remember, the cost of your Electricity will most likely exceed the value of the fractions of a bitcoin you will mine.

You can go here to see what you can expect from various graphics cards: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

You can also buy more efficient hardware on eBay or in the custom hardware section here, but ebay is expensive for what you get and the people in the forums want to be paid in bitcoins. And, either way, you will most likely spend more than you make.

I normally get 0.0017 to 0.0020 at 930MH, but the last two blocks I got 0.0014 and 0.0015

Anyone else see reduced payout on the blast two blocks?

If i had to guess, i'd say it is due to the daily shift in Hash Rate. The Pool's Hash rate seems to go up and down 1Th/s everyday. It is currently on the up side.
1325  Bitcoin / Hardware / What Exists? on: June 11, 2013, 04:15:48 PM
Is there currently anything with:

1. A faster Hash Rate.

2. Comparable power consumption.

3. A better price.

than an Erupter that can be bought today with US$ and received in a week?

I'm just asking because i see lots of posts about future products and chip buys, but i'm tired of trying to sift through them all to see what is real. and, i'm tired of the crazy prices people are willing to pay on eBay.

I would guess that, yes there is one or more unidentified pools in unknown. hence the term "unknown" Is it a concern? i don't think so. Shocked

You can use any good quality riser, actually.  PCIe x1 still has more than enough bandwidth for hashing.
I use these risers for everything, even on x16 slots.
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-PCI-E-Cable%C2%A0/dp/B005G4SADY/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&srs=2529898011&ie=UTF8&qid=1370821348&sr=1-4&keywords=micro+sata+cables

Mining works with full hashes on regular x16 slots?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
1329  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Extender Opinion? on: June 10, 2013, 12:01:21 AM
good, i have one of those as well. perhaps i should find a 3rd card.

7950 gpu.
MB has a X4 connection on a x16 connector.
also have 3 empty PCI connectors.

Do I put an X16 extender in the X4 (X16type) connector? the reason i need the extender is that this connector is the last on the MB and there is no room for dual slot card.

or do i try a PCI to PCIe adapter?

Is it safe to assume that the card will negotiate down to X4 with little effect on the hashing performance?

our pool's hashrate is pretty much growing at the same rate as the rest of the world's. this is evidenced in that our share of the Pie is consistently hanging around 9.5 - 10.0%. We are pretty much getting the same number of blocks per day as usual. Things are bad for the people who are not increasing their hash rate with new equipment. For them, their share of the pool is shrinking. I feel for them. soon i will be one of them for i am rapidly running out of money to throw into this endeavor.
1334  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How about setting a MAX coin age ?! on: June 09, 2013, 04:58:33 PM
Would you ridcule someone who is OCD for putting thing in order or wanting everything a certain way? the people who want to recover lost coins are similar, it grates on them that there are, what they consider, wasted coins. Wasted coins represent wasted work to them. They want all their Ducks in  a row and all the coins in use.

We just need to explain to them that this isn't what everyone else wants and that the system is fine as is and then move on. They won't see, or agree with what the majority of us says, but they will just be whistling in the wind.
1335  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Why everyone keeps selling their long waited ASICMINER USB? on: June 09, 2013, 03:21:52 PM
You could buy four 5 GHZ units from Butterfly for the same cost. Then you'd have 20 GHZ if you ever received them.   

Except you can't buy anything from Butterfly at the moment and the Erupters are in hand. When you can get 5 day Delivery from Butterfly, Erupter's price will adjust accordingly.

What level of CPU usage are people getting using CGMiner 3.1.1?

I've got a Win7 x64 setup with a Core i7-3570k and getting about 25% CPU usage, hashing with just one USB Block Erupter.

I'm seeing about 60% on each of two cores. But the cpu is only runniing at 1Ghz so i don't expect much from it. running 4 erupters and a Radian 6570 GPU.

1Ghz Dual Core? never heard of such a thing.

I only got 10Mh/s out of the on board GPU so i put a small video card in the PCIe slot. getting a whopping 85Mh/s on the video card now. heh.

I'm probably just gonna be referred to a README that i read and forgot, but i'll ask anyway. Is there anyplace where all the abreviations on the terminal output are explained?

Yep, its in the readme's and/or the Top Post of this thread.

--------------------------------------From Top Post-------------------------
The output line shows the following:
(5s):1713.6 (avg):1707.8 Mh/s | Q:301  A:729  R:8  HW:0  E:242%  U:22.53/m

Each column is as follows:
5s:  A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
avg: An all time average hash rate
Q:   The number of requested (Queued) work items from the pools
A:   The number of Accepted shares
R:   The number of Rejected shares
HW:  The number of HardWare errors
E:   The Efficiency defined as number of shares returned / work item
U:   The Utility defined as the number of shares / minute

 GPU 1: 73.5C 2551RPM | 427.3/443.0Mh/s | A:8 R:0 HW:0 U:4.39/m

Each column is as follows:
Temperature (if supported)
Fanspeed (if supported)
A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
An all time average hash rate
The number of accepted shares
The number of rejected shares
The number of hardware erorrs
The utility defines as the number of shares / minute

The cgminer status line shows:
 TQ: 1  ST: 1  SS: 0  DW: 0  NB: 1  LW: 8  GF: 1  RF: 1

TQ is Total Queued work items.
ST is STaged work items (ready to use).
SS is Stale Shares discarded (detected and not submitted so don't count as rejects)
DW is Discarded Work items (work from block no longer valid to work on)
NB is New Blocks detected on the network
LW is Locally generated Work items
GF is Getwork Fail Occasions (server slow to provide work)
RF is Remote Fail occasions (server slow to accept work)

Thank you good sir.

1340  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Difficulty and BTC value on: June 08, 2013, 08:02:03 PM
like any commodity, there is more to the price than just supply and demand. there is a psycological factor as well. One could argue that the charts showing a correlation are showing a coincidence. One could argue that because people believe that price rises with difficulty it will because the sellers will demand it and the buyers will follow. One can only argue increased or decreased demand because difficulty is adjusted to insure a stable supply.

Is there a correlation? there appears to be but not for any reason that anyone can actually prove.

The value of anything is only what someone else is willing to pay for it, not what the holder declares it to be.
