Today I am noticing a strangely high rate of rejected (4-6.4%) among my 5 cards. I am using Phoenix 1.72.
Anything I can do?

What a tiny fan -what is: 1 inch? sweet. It suggests a defiance to overheating.
I love ghetto heatsinks/fans. Any other please post pics in this thread.

Definitely this:

Then I would mine even with my notebook's cpu and possibly my phone and my mind!

I am mining on abcpool from 36 hours with 1.3 Ghs and now it shows exactly what I do. Mind that when you join a new pool it requires some time (usually several hours) for it to show you what you are doing with some accuracy. 

Don't let me bite my hands (again) for the regret of passing on BTC at the time, even if I heard about it.

I suggest you read about it here:

I will mine with more gusto

I hope that this does not mean that this pool is the "Mistery miner". Does ABCpool include transactions?

Meet one of my 2 rigs. Below is a 5870 and a 5830:

I bought a 5750 for 50 euros shipping included some time ago. At 170+ Mhs may beat your 5850's Mhs/$.

I think you are doing something wrong.

I have a problem with changes in payout according the duration of the round: on short rounds I use to get about 30% less of what I proportionally should.
See an example below. I mine 24/7 with 1.3 Ghs, so I should average: 49*(1.3/1209)= 0.05268 BTC per block, but if I calculate an average of all my BTC rewards in my statistics I obtain: 0.043032276, that is I am averaging a -18.3% BTC reward. Any comments?

I am mining on slush with a 3 cards rig + a 2 cards rig with no issues using aoclbf (so phoenix) with no issues at all in 2 months.

Reposting from the noob forum, just in case anyone still have doubts that we are dealing with a botnet:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74159.msg820648#msg820648
Since I'm new, I might as well post this here until I can join the main thread   

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67634.540

There's a mystery miner than has something like 20% of the network, there's some suspicion that it's a new botnet that uses GPUs.

Well this fellow has been advertising exactly that:

I haven't seen any mention of this in the main thread, and the posts of the botnet seller are relatively recent (middle of march), which I believe coincides roughly with the new suspected botnet (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Some people in the thread have already reported it to virus scanning software companies, but, again, I don't think anyone has posted or notified them about this "iMiner".

1) are not hashes supposed to include transactions? If they don't, I see a kind of faking work.
For the rest, I stay with my case.
Legit miners are those who invest to produce useful proper output. The others are not.

A lot was stolen from miners in 2 ways:
1) seizing a big percentage of the BTC created (which otherwise would have be gone to legit miners)
2) Increasing the difficulty, so reducing the rate at which legit miners gain

Now can you see the light?

It would be interesting to see what is he doing with the BTC stolen from legit miners.
Is he selling already?
