The only reason I want Nvidia to come out with their cards is to ROFLstomp AMD in the gaming area, pushing prices down on AMD cards. I would rather gamers get NVidia cards and miners get cheap AMD cards. But thats just me. That's the hope man, we are all on the same boat. i personally couldn't care less about nvidia ar amd let alone fighting for them as some people here seem to do... anyway, all i want is nvidia to screw amd so hard in the gaming department enough so i can buy some 7970s for 250$  |

i can't believe they aren't developing this app for Windows Phone 7

Everyone with high power costs hates overlocking. Personally every hash I can squeeze out of the cards just means more profits for me.
11.11 driver works well, if 11.12 you need to delete the following files after uninstalling 11.12 to downgrade.
C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\amdoclcl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdoclcl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll
Thank you Thank you Thank you! |

bad things happen when you think temperature is heat,
harder to cool anything with lower deltas? of course, but not impossible
swallow it: IT CAN BE DONE.

what does the grey bars in the worker stats mean?
|
|

What happens if you setup your private pool to point to your own IP address, where you are running a temporary redirection service to a real pool while setting up? After setting up your private pool and worker, you could stop the redirection service, and your "private pool" would always be offline. I can't see how GPUMAX could automatically distinguish this case from a real private pool just being down for a while.
I haven't been getting any downtime because of GPUMAX lately, and the private pool system is good enough. The requirement to have a private pool is just a bit odd, and perhaps easy to circumvent if you really want to?
you can not send work to an unapproved pool i was mining with clipse's pool and gpumax doesn't even work with it, let alone solo mining |
|
|
|
also, if i set cgminer to request work from gpumax but i have no pool configured in my gpumax account, just lease, would it move to a backup pool when there is no leased work?
I was wondering this as well, but as far as I can tell, you can't setup a worker without specifying private pool for it to fallback on. shoot, why did i have to set pools first? |

HI! after a few days on the waiting list i got my invite, thanks!

so, frankendoodle, nice english for a Venezuelan... i encourage you to check this list http://www.cadivi.gob.ve/empresasdivisas.html, i found some very interesting surprises there, for me mostly some local shops from Coro-Punto Fijo (where i'm from) that i'm sure they are selling at non-official rates but have cadivi approvals on the tens of millions USD  i'll keep increasing my mining op as much as i can but with the hardware prices and shipping costs its kinda steep but i've converted some friends to bitcoin and they are willing to fund my efforts, it's actually a lot easier when you show them your rigs, they all go like WOW! what is that? i show 'em the numbers, the heat output, the power consumption and the profit of course and BAM! they're sold |

to minero1 :
- how does investing in precious metals work in Venezuela ? caps, taxation ?
- was trying to understand the black market value of bolivars. Basically there are people willing to give away bolivars to get usd. Question is why ? Is there some products available only in USD ? or is it mainly for savings ? (abroad ?)
I am surprised hashing hardware would be expensive in Venezuela. Usually populist governments allows for free import of computer hardware because it is believed it helps education, business, blah blah.
You mean like saving in gold/silver? no caps, no legislation. But the VAT applies to it like it does to everything else. Black market it is thriving because the oportunist merchants have an excuse to sell their goods at twice the price just by stating they DON'T buy imports at the official rate even when they do enjoy it making prices high enough for anyone to consider importing themselves and saving a buck, yes the black market rate is twice as high the official rate. And i think that answers why hardware is so expensive. If i was to fly in with mining equipment what's the likelyhood of getting siezed/taxed/hassle? Also, what's the state of internet censorship over there? What's the penalty forblack market moneychanging? It's interesting to know. I also wonder what the moneychangers do with all thier bolivars once they have them.
100% likely to being taxed when nationalizing imports. 0% seized, BIG HASSLE. Maybe some penalties for excess power consumption if you are going big, i'm sure i'm gonna. internet censorship?? haha that's only a US and China thing. Here, i don't think they even monitor the internet. But like in any other country (i assume) bitcoin is a grey area, not exactly legal but not ilegal either, if you get caught exchanging bolivars outside of the official channels you'll get fined by twice the amount you are exchanging/carrying, this is the most hypocritical law ever because the government is known to issue bonds and sell them at black market rates. I prefer to not hold currency at all nor bolivars or dollars, i feel a lot better when it is invested |

Its really disgusting what the Venezualan government is doing to their people. Yet they (the socialist) have been legitimaly elected by the majority of the population three times and i really don't know for sure why, well, i guess i do, the lack of decent a opposition leader, the huge social spending programs people like so much, the natural charisma of the guy (Chavez) to name a few, they all appeal to the mostly uneducated majority. Democracy can be a bitch i tell you. I hope people change their minds before the presidential election this october, i believe in alternancy in the exercise of power. if it's devaluated, that means cheap electricity, so they can convert their bolivar in watts, and their watts in bitcoins
Hashing hardware is not cheap at all, the official exchange rate is for the food industry, well connected individuals, corrupt politicians, and the presidential family so no luck on that one but on the other side the electricity here is super cheap and so is the gasoline, if you wish to generate your own power. As of february 25th of 2012 price is 0.015 US Dollars per litre (0.06 for the gallon) of poorly-refined-highly-contaminant-but-still-working-gasoline (over 800ppm of sulfur) and 0.011 US dollars per kWh from the grid and with that i think it qualifies as the cheapest in the whole world, can't complain. Bring on the FPGA we will keep going the GPU way! |

There is also a currency exchange cap in place in Venezuela so is nearly impossible to transfer funds overseas, being mining the only method to get a hold on bitcoins. 2) How can Venezuelans buy bitcoins? Is there an exchange there? Are there any mining farms there? No exchanges. By now i only have 2.5GH/s, i'm unable to provide that service. I know of other 2 guys running over 1GH/s. Some of my clients must be connected too, i've been evangelizing a lot, when they walk into my shop first thing they see is Mt.Gox live in a 32" TV, they all ask. Si eres Venezolano enviame un MP y nos pondremos en contacto, hay mucho en lo que podemos apoyarnos! |

Hi CK, have you found the problem causing the high % of rejected shares? i set it to -I 9 and still having way to many rejects, it starts very ugly but with time appears to get better, my current run shows (A:35107 R:2059), less than with dynamic set but still.
I'm running 2.2.4 i didn't notice that in 2.0.8
What pool, what card, what clocks? Does problem go away at lower intensity? Does problem go away at lower clock? nothing wrong with the pool or rig, it was ok until i upgraded to 2.2.4. Anyway, i installed 2.2.6 and the reject rate dropped as promised by CK (good work, thanks), less than 1% this time with a short run thou, i'll report if it goes bad again. what is the proper method to downgrade to SDK 2.less than 6? |

I directed my hashing to you in october-november i'd like to try again but i forgot my password and there is no password recovery feature

thank you guys, you have provided excellent entertainment for "the best part of an hour"
shit i can't stop laughing

Even if bitcoin value falls to zero, the fun I've had
building one of these things will _not_ fade away Grin My thoughts exactly |
