I dont see why we shouldnt do both.

Of course I am not suggesting it would take 6 months to organise a pubcrawl, but to organise 1 or more pubs to accept bitcoins for payments for drinks might be harder. It would be nice to be wrong.

I think that accepting bitcoins is the important part of this. I do not even know how we would do this. (The bit coin side of things.)

Yes thats what I did.

Yes, crossfire off, and the connector between the boards not connected.

Yes, very interested.  I can see a bunch of problems for the pub though, which we would have to help them with. And in the end these are problems with bitcoin (or any "new" currency)

You have to remember that in general pub owners work hard and do not much do software, will have never heard of bitcoin etc etc.
I mean, of course, we all work hard, what I mean is the pub owner is probably unlikely to spend much of his spare time familiarising himself with what bitcoin is, or want to!

So for them how would it work? Suppose we said attendees pay in advance and get a refund for unused credit, the pub needs to have a piece of software to do that for them.

It has to be simple enough for them to opperate and they have to trust it.

Imagine it crashed and they lost a days takings, or were unable to refund anyone, they would see that as a major problem, something in fact that they would probably want insurance against.

How would we provide that to them. (Given its us that wants them to put the event on.)

How does a pub "charge" someone for a drink?  They cannot even use their till for this, which they would normally do!

I think this will take more than 6 months to set up even if we find a pub willing to make some effort.

I think it is a very worthwhile thing to do.

Ok here is a simple question, I joined and paid my 1 bitcoin. I think the randomizer is a great idea!

But I now cannot remember my username which I seem to need to recover my password, so I am locked out!!

Surely I should be able to recover my password if I supply either un or email, I should not need both!!

I have followed a lot of this and have

 1 off NVIDIA GTX 470
 2 off ATI HD5850

After messing with the NVIDIA Cuda libraries (which I did in fact get working) , I gave up on this and decided to concentrate on getting the ATI cards working.

So far both the ATI cards work and give the expected hashrate, but if I run 2 threads then the combined hashrate is lower than with one card.

If both threads are started with the same -f parameter then its pretty much that the 2nd one to start has a hashrate similar to the cpu and the other one falls to about half what it was.

Otherwise it seems that the one with the lower -f parameter "wins" and the gets about half the expected hashrate, and the other does very much much worse than that.

podclm.py with no parameters gives 3 devices, the cpu, and the 2 ati cards.

Other data:
Ubuntu 10.04.
poclm version: poclbm/201103.beta1
ATI Stream SDK 2.3

Can anyone suggest what I might do to fix this?
