This site is legit, or at least was a long time ago (when they were handing out whole number amounts of bitcoins).

I think I know why you crash with GUIminer running on Youtube. You most likely have hardware acceleration enable for flash applications. Next time you're on youtube, right click the video, go to "Setting...", and uncheck the box.

As for the bicoin app, is it not opening, hanging? Crash is very unspecific.

You are correct about the cpu speeds being too slow to get any shares in. I have a backup connection from my gpu pointing to deepbit running at 3.5Mh/s, and I only get in one or two shares per hour with those speeds.

It seems like a pishing attempt. If account data was wrong, I think you'd get transaction error emails.

No, you're not going to catch a break. We don't give breaks to people scamming bitcoins, so we're not going to give breaks to people scamming newegg.

Maybe because things like this thread are going on.

You know what would get bitcoin good press, contacting newegg and apologizing on behalf of the honest part of the bitcoin community.  I've already contacted them and told them what's going on, and why they should not waive any shipping or restocking fee for anything ATI graphics cards. Why? Because this shit is getting stupid, you know the "I lost $10k to bitcoin because my investment didn't pay off in an hour!" and all the people who want to pull out with no cost, even though the mining and newbie areas are filled with threads about the profit of mining bitcoin and how it's not a get-rich-scheme.

Guess what? Bitcoin and bitcoin mining is an investment, as in a risk. If your investment doesn't pay off, then too bad. It's not our fault, it's not mtgox's fault, and it is far from newegg's, or any other company who's getting ATI card's back in mass RMA. Take some responsibility... oh wait, this is the internet. How foolish of me to think that there's such thing here.

If this whole mass RMA thing ends up giving bitcoin more bad press, I'm fine with it. I know there's a lot of nice, honest, and helpful people here trying to push the idea to be more mainstream, but sadly it's not going to happen if shit like this continues to occurs. To all of those honest people: I'm sorry. You're clearly not in the wrong, but you have to put up with this, and be associated with it.

Maybe this is a great time for the bitcoin community to show the honest side of this. Lets point these assholes trying to take advantage of hardware suppliers out. Lets not let companies take the investment risk, but rather have the correct person (hint: the investor) take the investment risk like all of the honest people have.

Good press doesn't make itself, something good needs to happen first.

Oh cool. He's just like a politician/CEO now. Can't take responsibly for his choices, so gets bailed out/lies about it. Now newegg is losing out because you're too greedy. Loyal customer my ass.

That's quite unhelpful. Maybe a little more details?

Did this guy just lie to newegg because he wanted to bail on his rig because he didn't want to take any risk on his investment?

That's soooooo many coins. How generous of you. 

Do you realize you just bought at at time when a lot of people might start to bail when mtgox and tradehill reopen?

Simple answer: no. You'll spend way way way more in electricity than you'll ever generate with CPU's since graphics cards can do mining calculations much more efficiently.

I saw this thread at Guru3d: http://forum.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=346175

If a driver reinstall doesn't fix it, see if you can do the different card approach if possible.

Probably not going to find many efficient cards at that price. 5830's are one of the best for around that price, if you can find them. Newegg gets shipments of them every once in a while, and they're ~$110 and put out ~250mh/s.

Probably some hiccup with the php re-scaling. I wouldn't amount it to anything tbh.

They're pretty easy and cheap to make. Here's a guide from Overclock.net.

Memory doesn't play a role in hashing, since textures aren't needed to be cached anywhere. I'm wondering what cards you're looking at though, since DDR3 seem old for good hashing cards.

What happened with Mtgox was someone dumped a database snapshot of username, email, and passwords. You can easily brute force those offline.

I was wondering how their referral system works a little more in dept than what the site says. Couldn't you register two accounts for yourself, and use the child account to trade, making commission on the parent?

Challenge Accepted.


But anyway, nice ghetto solution.
