A couple of the reasons it's relaying blocks so fast is 1) it doesn't do any transactions, 2) it doesn't do any checks on the blocks (hence relaying multiple blocks of the same height).... it probably only keeps one in memory at once.

I posted on another one of these threads, was running ~8c per kwh then... now it's ~7c per kwh... (3 cent reduction instead of 2 cent)

last month was $245.62 for 3590kwh (i'm leaving out the $20 'customer charge' since i'd have to pay that regardless). 

the tiers here, you pay less if you use more electricity.  i  found it pretty odd when ppl started mentioning how they pay more if they use over a certain amt.   delivering a large quantity of something to 5 ppl beats delivering a small quantity to 20. 

Yeah, I had one of my withdrawals cancelled with the message "Cancel of: Withdraw to account Dwolla You cannot have more than one pending Dwolla transfer at a time".

However, I still have two in the 'confirmed' (but not 'processed') stage, one from 10/03 and another from 10/05.  The cancelled one was on 10/10.

yah, had to send DL and some insurance papers

mtgox cancelled one of my transactions to dwolla, stating that i could only have one withdrawal to dwolla active at a time.   lol?   i must have missed the memo?

Cancel of: Withdraw to account Dwolla You cannot have more than one pending Dwolla transfer at a time

yeah, well, don't have the shit pending for a week then

if i had any 6xxx series, i'd sell immediately

ed:  well, to answer your question, no, it's not worth mining with 3x6950's.  6950's still sell for like $120-$140'ish on ebay and are equivalent to a *5850 in hash power.  the whole 6xxx line shouldnt be used for mining, it's better for gaming than the 5xxx line.  sell the 3x6950 and then buy 3x5830 and pocket the $150 or so diff
 

plus all the people that he has quoted actually included the tilde over the e

i lol

if you want to download it faster, you just use the -connect option and connect with a fast peer, someone hosted at ovh or hetzner or something.

i had mine set to deliver 5000 blocks at once, because of the bug where ppl request blocks over and over and over.  with 5000 at once, it'll cause most of the clients to ban you for 'flooding'.  there were a few ppl that got up to 130000 pretty fast, though

hmm, so that 'instant' transfer stopped rather quickly.  i have order processing since 10/03, so 4 business days (not counting columbus day) so far for me.   it was 2 business days about 2 weeks ago.  anyone know the approx delay time now?

looks like something is messed again.  was just checking to see if i should swap back, shows 10 ghash over the last 5m

remember there are multiple GPU sensors...  if thermal paste or pads aren't applied correctly, you could be seeing a 65oC for the card, but gpu sensor 3 might be at 95oC.   i consider it a 'good job' if they're all within 10oC of each other

what's safe for VRM temps varies quite a bit, depending on the manufacturer...  but it *should* be good up to at least 105-110oC.    some can run stable up to 120-130oC.   i've got one card that has been running nonstop (outside of a couple brownouts and one blackout of a few hrs) w/ a VRM temp ranging from 95-105oC.. never crashed once... 5870 @ 1000/315.   gpu temp ranges from 55-65, sensor 3 up to about 70oC.

oh, I run all my fans at 100%.   from my experience, it wears them out quicker w/ variable speeds (i.e. slowing down as the card cools, going faster as it gets hot, etc).    i've been running ~15 cards 24/7 for the last 7 or 8 months and have had to replace 4 fans (3 from reference 5870/5970, and 1 from a gigabyte with that crappy dual fan setup... i just ziptied a 120mm on that)....

and one PSU failure =p

i'm going to sell off all my stuff and go to disneyland

or to repeat myself for the nth time


zip tie a 120mm on that shiz

far more foolish to buy some 7970's just for the purpose of mining

now, if you used them to play games during the day...

they aren't mining blocks, they just weren't verifying any of the blocks that they were relaying, hence blockchain.info reporting them relaying the block first

all those ^^ IPs I listed, I had their entire subnets banned on my 5.9.24.81 node

nobody else seemed to tho , 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110390.0

oh, i just noticed someone replied to my thread.

no, they aren't mining blocks.  they just aren't verifying blocks they relayed.


one of the reasons i took 5.9.24.81 down

well, and this:

5.9.24.81/lollercopter.txt

that was my own decision though, since i was using untested code (i have misbehavior changed to 102, to avoid disconnecting someone that relays one tx with invalid signature amongst other things.  socket closed is all my other connections disowning me for relaying something that was retrieved from some node's memory pool)


and i think i'll add that pool nodes should be a little more proactive in banning these peers that obv arent verifying blocks, i mentioned this in several threads over the last 3 or 4 days (re: the Snoopy nodes)

i always use IP address when mining, well, ever since eclipsemc name servers messed up... uh..  7 or 8 months ago?  don't remember.

looks like above avg luck since 8/21

and rather freakish since 9/20!

Thanks.  Didn't even realize there was a script posted on here.

I think I'll give it a try w/ 5 BTC... and hopefully after I bust that 5 BTC, I won't play anymore.  =p

or if you added datadir to your .conf file, wherever that is!
