You need to find some incentives to perform. Otherwise ppl won't. Not necessarily BTC or money. For example I would suggest weekly competitions where the most productive comrades-miners win an all-paid friday night with unlimited booze and hookers. But that's just me. Yes, is a good idea if the objective is to push the number of workers toward infinity, while keeping the pool hash rate close to zero.
Do you think there will be no real contribution no matter how minimal? Some people smarter than me think that communism is a good way for society to prosper and remove ineguality. Don't you want people to be equal in rights and retribution, no more rich, no more poor? |

Yes, is a good idea if the objective is to push the number of workers toward infinity, while keeping the pool hash rate close to zero.  Me and some friends are entertaining the experiment of launching a pool that pays miners a fixed share (equal to total production / number of miners). As long as all comrades are sincere and contribute, there should be no issues, right? Very good workers will receive medals and honors, but everyone is equal in terms of revenue. Enemies of the system will be persecuted of course.
What do you think guys, is a communist pool a good idea?

I just switched to bitminter too. Their miner is beyond awesome in terms of performance and stability. I can even watch video and tv while mining with it. And with my current knowledge, any pool could steal some shares to me (and I expect that some do). But stealing big time to the miners would be a self-defeating move, so I don't think that any pool that want to survive would do it. Currently using bitcoin.lc and bitminter.com, both are pretty awesome pools and i especially like bitminter with their own miner as well as the statistic interface  Mmmh. That basically means that if the pool decides to cheat you, you now have absolutely no way of knowing (since they also control the client). Fishy. Yeah be careful here... Yea that is ofc true, the program is not open source so they might be doing fishy stuff but so far i have been happy with the amount i have been getting from their pool, ofc i would probably be unaware if they did remove a couple of shares here and there but i doubt they would do that |

Re: the space taken by the data I am starting to find it both annoying and alarming.
I created two 1GB encrypted folders with Truecrypt to store there portable versions of the client. And now that I connect the client after a few days they are chocked full with blk0001.dat at 500MB and blkindex.dat at 218 MB! WTF! And this thing is going to grow infinitely?!
So now I will have to create new encrypted virtual drives with how much space???
My humble suggestion/request to the developers is to find a way around this urgently. Having several GBs of data to move around and keep safe, not to mention to download, is not going to be practical, not to speak of user friendliness.

Very nice. I am getting a good output both with my 5870 @980/300 (415 Mhs), and my 5750 @880/300 (170 Mhs), so I am going to take part in your pool.

How do you enable a card in CCC? I do not find any option to do it.
edit: I found it. Too easy. Just right clik on CCC tray icon and choose extend desktop to a card.
Problem is that I found activated extended desktop (there are no other options in Xp), and once i deactivated it, now I cannot activate it any more.
More strangeness: if I connect the monitor to the 5750, it remains blank. It does not show even the POST at boot.
Now I am going to unistall and reinstall Catalyst and if I do not solve nuthin I will try to connect a Xfire cable for desperation.

No Xfire cable.
I don't think to roll back the catalyst driver since older do need dummy plugs that I don't have.
Another strange thing is that I get ridicolous high temps on both cards (they reach 100° after 2-3 minutes of mining, and stay at 100° C with their fan at full throttle), even if my case is decently ventilated. This happens only now. Before, when I had only a 5750, it never surpassed 75°C in the same case, even mining for several hours, and its fan remaine around 50% (now it goes at 100% in a few seconds).
Something is very wrong.

Yes, both cards work correctly alone. OS: Xp pro sp3 always updated Miner: Phoenix 1.50 Flags (in 2 .bat): phoenix.exe -u http://user:pass@btcguild.com:8332/ -k phatk DEVICE=1 VECTORS FASTLOOP=true AGGRESSION=5 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT -a 1000 phoenix.exe -u http://user:pass@btcguild.com:8332/ -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS FASTLOOP=true AGGRESSION=5 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT -a 1000 OC: 5750: 890Mhz, mem 200Mhz 5870: 950Mhz mem 300 Xfire disabled according Gpu-z |

Hi, I just added a 5870 to my old 5750 and now if I launch phoenix for both, they are 30% to 50% slower (5750 produces 120Mhs instead of 170, and 5870 produces about 160 Mhs instead of 380). Working alone they produce normal full speed in Mhs. They both have memory set at 300 and are reasonably overclocked. Catalyst 11.8.
I have two 500W power supplies, one (Amacrox warrior AX500-A) just for the graphic cards and the other for the rest of the system.
The specifics are:
ASRock ALiveXFire-eSATA2
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2100 MHz (10.5 x 200) 4000+
2048 MB (DDR2-667 DDR2 SDRAM)
4 HD
I already tried to uninstall and reinstall Catalyst to no avail.
Any suggestion is welcome

Strange: now I am getting the max speed with the original phatk2 included in Phoenix 1.6.2 with my 5750. Here the results of some tests:
phoenix-1.6.2 original
phatk VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT
=168 Mhs
phoenix-1.6.2 original
phatk2 VECTORS FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT
=170 Mhs
phoenix-1.6.2 original
-k phatk2 VECTORS2 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT
=169 Mhs
2011-08-11 kernel
phatk VECTORS2 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=256 BFI_INT

Io sto pensando seriamente a una soluzione in bagno d'olio tipo questa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJdUhtD1znsNon l'ho gia' fatto perche' ho dubbi sulle difficolta' del sistema di raffreddamento (che pompa e radiatore volendo restare sul quasi gratis?) Qualcuno l'ha provato? |

At this stage I would not be surprised if the US$ and/or euro will go to the crapper faster than BTC. Selling BTCs for these funny bankers' moneis now does not seem a smart move to me. At least use them to buy farm land, precious metals, and general survival gear.
BTW: Question for the traders: How do you short BTC?

Scusa, non ho convertito il cambio da dollari in euro.
Volevo offrire l'equivalente in BTC di 160 euro.
In caso contattami.
Ciao

I would suggest a Miss Mises University contest to boost the institute's popularity.
Candidates please post your pic in this thread.

Rassha, what does currency have to do with citizenship? I'm not a citizen where I work, but pay taxes where I live.
The point is that BTC offer a great way to escape from the taxman here and there. That is one of the biggest reasons why I am a believer in the project.   |

To invade them and get their base would be infinitely cheaper -and none could object once they are defeated, unless they have some secret pact for mutual defense with some gov't (unlikely)-. It already happened at least once in their history. Alternatively we could set up a "Government of the Bitcoin Republic in Exile in the Cyberspace" |
