We chose the top contender, what more do you want? Seriously... it's like impossible to please people.
I'm ticked off you selected someone who doesn't drink beer. That just ain't right. Of course you could send me the beer you were going to buy him, that would help sooth my disappointment. |

The payout minimum will not be lowered any time soon. If it does, there will be a fee attached to requesting such a small payout, because I will not be the one paying the transaction fee in order to send somebody a payout that is worth less than $1.
As a long time user of Bitcoin and a developer: Thank you for taking a firm position against making dust payouts. Blockchain bloat is no one's friend, and tiny outputs will likely never get spent— meaning they'll bloat the txout set perpetually. Can that be remedied by sending all coins from one wallet to another in one transaction? Also what is the recommended payout size? I've heard 1 BTC is good. Thanks, Sam I've always felt the best setting for automatic payments to be the greater of: 1 BTC or your weekly mining revenue. Think of it as your weekly mining paycheck. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight - trap all small miners into your stupid pool in order to prevent blockchain from becoming bloated. Fuck you!I swear - if someone gives me a button which would permanently eliminate current and any future pool owners, I'd press it right now. What next showoff of your power we can expect? Miners with less than 1 GHash/sec can't join? Fuck you!Now you've gone a bit beyond ridiculous. Don't know if you've been keeping tabs on what's going to be happening to the network hash rate, but, in 2 or 3 months 1Ghs will be a smaller percentage your 35Mhs/s 4670 is now. And he won't be barring small hash rate miners. Sam |

I don't care, OK?
OK. LOL only an idiot would not care about wasting money day in and day out for as long as they are dumb enough to continue. Well, I can't speak to his motivations as to why he want's to use his 4670 for mining. But I started with CPU mining and then GPU mining with a 4670 as well. It was a great training exercise and nobody would help me with it, over a year and a half ago, either. So I can see doing it now too for the learning experience. Now whether he want's to keep on using that for mining for the foreseeable future or not is worth debating the wisdom of. I agree with his implication that we should be more understanding and helpful with noob's. Sam |

Q: Which ATI SDK is the best for cgminer?
A: At the moment, versions 2.4 and 2.5 work the best. If you are forced to use
the 2.6 SDK, the phatk kernel will perform poorly, while the diablo or my
custom modified poclbm kernel are optimised for it.
I can't find any version of cgminer which would allow me to mine using Radeon HD4670 on WinXP SP3. I have Catalyst version 11.12 installed, which is the last version supporting SDK on WinXP. SDK version is 2.5, OpenCL version is 1.1 I would like to setup both solo and pooled mining, with long-polling, as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=111950.msg1215083#msg1215083As I stated before I am willing to try and help you out with this since I have some experience with this GPU. What error's are you getting with CG Miner? Are you able to mine with any miner with this GPU? Is your GPU AGP or PCIe? hopefully the latter. Sam |

Are we trying to set a new record? 17hr 37minutes since last block.
I keep tweaking things.. right now I'm glad I have 1/2 pointed here and 1/2 at eclipse.

If everyone divided their hashrate among all pools equally (and thus all pools had equal hashrate) there'd be very little variance in earnings at all and PPS wouldn't be needed. And then, I suppose, there would be world peace. Hope you don't mind if don't hold my breath. |

FYI I did get this card to work. It was a great training program for me. Here is what I found for this GPU on my system
The ONLY Catalyst version I could get to work is the 10.7
The ONLY SDK I could get to work is 2.2
The miner I could get to work best is Phoenix 1.5 and 1.75
CGMiner only gets 20Mhs/s or so since Catalyst 10.7 does not have ADL support
The pool that works the best with this setup is Ozco, all other pools I tried give me about 20-25% rejects.

I had a very hard time getting it to work at all. I am currently getting about 34Mhs/s in a configuration that still lets me game at the same time. Here is what I use to make it work and it is a bit off topic for this forum and I apologize in advance.

Does the pool no longer automatically redirect you to the stratum servers? CG Miner 2.8.1 says it's using LP.
OK, I see that stratum is using a new port and a different IP address now. Is there a DNS name that that IP address resolves to? Also are you going to use a different port and host/IP for each server location? Are these going to be changing often? Thanks, Sam |

Payout minimum is 0.1 BTC and all I earned is 0.03233661, after almost 9 days of mining. GUIMiner does not show if Stratum is used.
Consider this as noob miner feedback. Bitcoin is massive, it's like detonating 1TB data bomb on unsuspecting person. Knowing about
Stratum is nice, but leaving noob miner thinking if he's using it or not is yet another question unanswered, with 1000+ more on hold.
The payout minimum will not be lowered any time soon. If it does, there will be a fee attached to requesting such a small payout, because I will not be the one paying the transaction fee in order to send somebody a payout that is worth less than $1. I didn't know there was a limit to manual payout too. |

Is there any chance that amount of BTCs required for payout becomes 0.01 or so? For miners using very minimal setups,
0.1 BTC is few weeks of hashing. It's too long waiting to have sufficient amount of BTCs to start using many services.
You could check user hashing speed and scale down payout amount based on that, for those hashing at > 100 Mhash/s.
Another thing - it would be cool if user is informed somewhere if he is using Stratum or not.
The Payout Button doesn't work? Your miner doesn't tell you your using stratum? |

Just found my fourth block at BTCGUILD!!!!!! WOOT! sorry kinda cool.
edit: 2.18 millions share at the guild and found 4 blocks myself.
So you could have earned ~5 times as much solo-mining, ~5% more on a zero-fee pool or ~10-12% more on a bonus pps pool?  Maybe, maybe not. That's the randomness of Bitcoin, never know what you'll get until you get it. |

You can go into your advanced settings on Deepbit and switch from Block Explorer to Blockchain as the default for displaying blocks. |

OP updated. Please report any errors.
Ozcoin dropped fees to 2% for DGM and 4% for PPS. |

Someone must have spent alot of money on these at the time they were good for mining.  They were never good for mining. |

Ok Talked to roomservice - I felt a copy/paste would be better than me trying to re-explain it  I read the exchange and it sounds like the pool calculates share value and tx fee portion to credit to my account before a block which that share is applied to is even found. That makes no sense. So if you could re-explain it in more laymen terms I'd appreciate it. Sam |

How in the world do transaction fees get that high? |

One thing I have going for me is free electricity and Internet service. I could operate my mining rig remotely. I've never seen so many people put out thousands of dollars for something that hasn't even been made yet. It brings a whole new meaning to the word "pre-order". I guess when dealing with money, people certainly act different. Just the lure of making some money in the first few months when the new ASIC's drop apparently makes people drop a ton of money to some company with no guarantees. Nothing else exists like that in the world, except with drug dealers maybe. I guess I may order a couple SC's when they are actually available. I was wondering if you were going to return or not. Now you've posted something I agree with. It is strange and a bit of a leap of faith. But that has been the nature of Bitcoin from the get go. If you can afford a couple $1.3K SC's your much richer than me, so I hope if they come to fruition that they help you get richer. I'll muddle through with a couple Jalapenos when/if they come through. Sam |

wouldn't the best pool hopping strategy be to mine at a fresh pool after each block for a while, then solo mine until a fresh pool becomes available = a pool solves a block.
CG Miner can identify which pool detects a new block first and often times that is the pool that found the block too. I had asked for a mining strategy that would automatically go to the pool that detected the last block. ckolivas declined to add that as a strategy because it was too close to pool hopping. But that is similar to what you are wanting too. I think it's a good idea because you can be confident that you are always mining on a properly functioning pool which is all that I was after. Sam |
