I think one of the main problems with using some site 'out in the cloud' to store your wallet is NOT the integrity of the site itself, but rather all the knuckleheads that use it. If there's one thing that we should have all learned with the MtGox fiasco is that people do not take their Bitcoins seriously AS money. Too many see them as just a thing, a toy, something to play with, a minor diversion and they do not safeguard them with any seriousness. Too many using the same username and SIMPLE passwords at multiple sites with no thought to any real security. Passwords such as 'password' or 'abc123' or 'money'. I, for one, would NOT want my money anywhere near such people regardless of how secure the site claims to be. For now, I'm more afraid of the stupid and/or the careless rather than the greedy. Hopefully, things will change soon  |

Awwww, man... eBay is deleting auctions that break their rules? That's mean! I'm gonna hold my breath until I turn blue if they don't stop this  We all know that eBay/PayPal and Bitcoin don't mix well. There have been a number of posts here over the past month about auction de-listing due to TOS violation or auctions that did happen and then the buyer/seller got screwed. This action should surprise no one and boycotting eBay because of it really will not solve anything. Besides, why not use a proper exchange like MtGox or TradeHill? That's what they are there for.  |

My 26 yr old Son went from Chicago to Miami Fl. to watch a Bear's game Nov 18th 2010.My Son is a decent 5 yrs of college. and working man now. . Has never been arrested in his 26 yrs of life. very liked by everybody. My Son and 35 friend's and co workers also went to see the game in Miami Fl. they wittessed the false accusation's. My Son was rooting for the Bear's just like the dolphin's were rooting for their team, this happened outside while they were walking to the gate to see the game. when suddenly four policemen jumped on him and threw him on the ground my son did not know what hit him he was shocked as everyone else that was with him were, the police handcuffed him while everybody stood around my Son an everybody asked why were they doing this to him,the police would not respond. the police put him in a air condition very cold car for 3 hrs. the sargent told my son you know you threw beer at me, my son said no I did not when you grabbed me of course the cup of beer flew out of my hand and the beer spilled all over, then the police said you also spit at me the police was just making false accusation's my Son said I was shocked by all the thing's he was saying, my Son said is this for real I cannot believe this is happening
And this has fuck all to do with bitcoins, overclocking, the exchanges, or pools. GTFO. Mods need to lock this thread. |

The connection has timed out
The server at www.btcguild.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. There it goes again. I just got this: Fixing issues with US West pool. My Account page is temporarily disabled.
Looks like they're working on it. Can't wait until all the servers are replaced/upgraded. |

Try and come up with a name that's simple yet catchy AND is original. Please, please, please nothing like BitBay  |

Must be a bad day for BTCGuild. Server problems and a ton of invalids and unlucky blocks in last 24 hours. My rewards dropped by 25% today  Seriously  Lots of 1.5+ hour blocks (with a 3.5 hour block), 4 invalid blocks, servers going down, scripts getting stuck, it all just went to crap today This run of bad luck is on par with a fire station catching fire and burning down. Need more 5 min blocks where I get a ton of shares  |

The 5770 is a nice card. I'm using one with the GUIMiner and getting 209 Mhash/sec (core 950 MHz and memory 350 MHz). And your English is fine  Welcome to the forums |

Very nice and appreciated, but weird. I made the changes to the old miner (20110614) when they were announced but never saw any increase After putting in the new miner and changing nothing else I went from 196 Mhash/s to 209 Mhash/sec (roughly 6.6% improvement). Not sure how or why this works and the other didn't, but I'll take it |

That's just the Guild website, that doesn't matter. What matters is the web address that the program points your miner to; the 'api.bitcoin.cz' address. It was different and changed a few weeks ago that's why there is a message to change it. The list of miner addresses can be seen in the file servers.ini in the guiminer directory if you want to look. It's just a text file so you can open it with notepad (but don't change anything unless you know what you are doing).

If you are running the latest version of GUIMiner then you have nothing to worry about. The change has already been made to the program (version 2011-06-14). If you are running an older version then you should get the new one.

I've had similar problems using Win XP. What I've found to work (mostly). 1. Keep CCC closed if you don't need it, make all changes with Afterburner 2. Do not make any speed changes while you are hashing 3. Once you make changes in Afterburner, wait a moment, then shut down Afterburner and restart it This won't eliminate all crashes, but I've found that it eliminates most of them (at least for me). Currently set at 950 MHz core and 350 MHz memory and just under 200 Mhash/sec. 4097 shares with 31 stale (0.757%) since I last fiddled with it |

While it would be nice to be able to get a lot of these things, I think, for now at least, I'd rather have a simpler process to do it all with. Right now it goes:
- I take money I have and put it in my bank account
- I transfer money from my bank account to a dwolla account
- I transfer money from the dwolla account to an exchange account (MtGox, TradeHill, etc)
- At the exchange I trade my dollars for Bitcoins
- I send my Bitcoins from my exchange account to my wallet
- I sit on the new coins for about 4 to 10 hours so they have enough confirmations to not incur other fees when used
- FINALLY I buy something at a website that accepts Bitcoins
This needs to be drastically simplified if Bitcoins are going to compete with PayPal or credit card payments online. The common person is likely to look at this process and say "It's too complicated and takes too long, screw it."

I'm using Catalyst 11.5 drivers and the 2.1 SDK. The SDK could be the difference if you're using 2.4.
That might be it then. I'm running 2.4 SDK that puts in 2.1.0 Afterburner. I'll change them out later and see what happens. I hate when updates break stuff |

I hear that the Japanese government is assigning the Strike Witches to take care of this problem  |

Something very odd going on. Been doing a bunch of testing for the past few hours and can't seem to break through the 196 Mhash/s rate. Core set at 950 MHZ and stepped the memory from 300 MHz up to 350 MHz in 10 MHz increments with no change at all in hashes (or temps or fan speed). Changed from -w128 to -w256 and lost a couple Mhashes. Also played with -f1 and -f10. All these in various combinations, including the exact settings from meatball that gets him 209-211, and I'm stuck at 196  When I first start up GUIMiner I can see the first 2 speeds listed as 225 Mhash/s but it immediately drops to 196. My spidey sense is tingling. [edit] I just made the change to poclbm that is giving everyone a ~ 3% boost... nothing here. The first few speed ticks hit 230 Mhash/s and then it's right back down to 196. There seems to be something somewhere that's acting as a speed limiter that wont let me go over 200 Mhash/sec and when I find that damn thing I'm gonna rip it out and stomp on it till it's flat and very broken  |

oh one more thing how many watts do i need for a single computer with one gpu? i have three old dell desktop that i want to mine with. what are the cheapest psu that I could run 24/7?
Depends on what GPU you are looking to run. PC Power & Cooling makes a nice 500W Dell compatible PSU for about $75 (model PPCS500D and free shipping from Amazon). Mine got changed out on Friday (on a Dell Optiplex 745) and has been humming along nicely with a 5770 since then. |

Doesn't really matter. I'm using 10.10 because I've heard bad things about the new desktop manager in 11.x
If you're going with Ubuntu I would recommend either 10.04LTS (Long Term Support) or 10.10 if needed. Version 10.10 is recommended if you need HDMI output support for your video card (although, IMHO, it should be considered beta support). Version 11.04 introduced the Unity desktop which is planned to replace Gnome either in the next version or the one after that. You can still get the 'classic' desktop from an option in the login manager. IMHO, Unity is a step in a very wrong direction. For that, and a few other reasons, I've stopped using Ubuntu and gone to Debian (squeeze). Unity: If I wanted to run Vista then I would install and run Vista. But I don't want to run Vista so stop trying to be like Vista. kthxbye |
