...and make sure you have the latest video drivers. The problem is that cgminer is not detecting any GPU, so a new GUI won't help there.

Also the card's specs are pretty good.

If you have some cash flow already, you can invest directly in startups and other funds in various markets, provided you know what you're doing. There's some risk, and if you don't mind risk, you can always try lending (e.g. https://btcjam.com/faq/general)

Also, what are you trying to mine? If the opencl fails to compile it may show 0 h/s. For instance, I'm finding it hard to get any scrypt miner to work on Radeon @ 32-bit/xp...

Good point. Do watch for those spikes, they make for an awesome time to buy in to your preferred altcoins.

Not a newbie, but to supplement the OP's point, I wish I'd diversified into the various altcoins even sooner than I did. You win some, you lose some, but the odd one takes off and surprises everyone. In general, the more you know about the coin you're investing in, the better, but also the sooner you buy in to a coin that's even possibly destined for success, the better (though wait out the usual IPO hype/drop). They vary in value from about US$4 to about $0.01, some much less. Newcomer Primecoin has shown some unexpected strength and popularity of late.

True story: I sent a few bucks over to Cryptsy.com and plunked a quarter's worth into most of the alt-coins, 90% of the coins tanked, some held even, and just one or two skyrocketed and tripled my entire investment, and I was able to move some returns over to CEX to buy some mining horsepower.

In total, the Altcoins did better than Bitcoin, even counting that it has since doubled in value.

In a unique way it's solving it's own problem, actually.. As block rewards eventually dwindle towards nothing, and only transaction fees are left to keep miners mining, the number of miners will diminish, and the difficulty will drop accordingly. Those who are left mining will still be using the most incredibly efficient hashing hardware possible, even if just as a service to others, which even if 10 miners were left would still be millions of times more powerful and secure than the network was at it's CPU-powered inception.

It's solved the distributed cryptography puzzle that powers it, by creating an industry focused on doing so.

People now work for machines.

Welcome to the singularity

Even PrimeCoin (XPM) mining doesn't really solve anything of value, as it has to keep changing the question (the base, IIRC) to create a unique set of problems for each block. However, if you think of some noble concept that could be coined and merge-mined with bitcoin, please share. If developed, it could have little trouble being adopted. Unfortunately, quadrillions of SHA256 hashes of given bitcoin blocks and nonces have minimal value outside of finding the needle in the haystack that gets the prize.

For something to appear self-aware is a completely mechanical notion. But as for you, sitting there in your body, aware of yourself and others, mechanics alone cannot begin to explain what "you" are doing "in there," as opposed your absence (in that you are absent from the experiences of others).

Just some food for thought...

Multiverse theories are proposed to counter the anthropic principle, suggesting that the reason the universe is so specifically suited to life as we know it is that life as we know it is suited to *this* universe out of many.. An argument against that idea might be that life is extremely unlikely even in this universe, yet came about in a shockingly short time frame, making this also an unlikely multiverse.

Some suggest life as we know it couldn't have evolved even if the universe were filled with primordial soup, yet we see it thriving on a planet that was too cool for life at the time it's been claimed to have begun, thanks to a faint young sun (a problem which "is not yet solved" according to Nature & Nature Geoscience)

Thanks!

Perhaps, but you have to ask, where do all their rigs come from? It comes down to your funding model. CEX is a unique deferred ownership growth model based on a market platform. These GHS are market-owned and accounted for. Now that they've scaled it up as they have, they can't buy in too deep without harming the market. Sure the GHS depreciates naturally, but so does the real hardware.

If they simply had the capital to buy and run so many rigs in the first place, then sure you might be right, but a plan is a plan, and lower start-up costs are attractive. Also, to offset costs, they're using these crowd-funded rigs to merge-mine.

*I might be wrong about all of this, but it's how it appears from here.

I'd just arrived at the same conclusion.. having run the numbers it looks like an eventual valuation of approx 0.088 would be expected, but I'm prepared for some movement either way in the meantime.

With difficulty increasing logarithmically, the sooner your bitcoins turn into hashes, the better.

By the time you buy a big old mining rig, finally receive it and successfully set it up (along with the air conditioner), it may have already halved in the revenue it can bring in.

With a platform like CEX, given that you buy in at the right time, you can start making returns right away, and effortlessly reinvest those BTC into more GHS. That lets you focus on life instead of babysitting short-lived hardware.

It also offers a 3% bonus referral program (see sig)

Good points above on spiders.. Can you extend the analysis to include some measure of engagement? Are you actually selling more outside of US?

Bear in mind that not everyone that would like to be mining has that kind of time or capital. It also beats waffling around with so many bit-funded mining startups. I like that you can redeem for the hardware if you want to, or cash in GHS for BF1's or so on.

Always finding new ways to save electricity.

I've made more on CGB than anything, it's got a non-linear block reward decrease, meaning that it should increase in rarity, such that even if it doesn't grow in popularity it will still grow in value. If it does both, it will be through the roof.

Used to mine $1/day with bitcoin on the one video card.. now nothing. Diversified across the board on cryptsy and not regretting it. I'm up 35% since just yesterday without lifting a finger. Good times.

Such a kidder. We all know CGB is the future.

Man, this security looks almost as legit as a certain wall st. scandal that knocked the first domino in the world's economy over.

By the way, I've got a 3 Billion GH quantum miner I've developed. Issuing 30M shares at 10BTC each to help cover the power bill after I try plugging it in. Expect brownouts. And a sequel from Al Gore. Maybe a black hole. Not sure which is worse.
