My next choice is Steve Gibson. No idea what his Bitcointalk alias is, if he even has one.

Have you even flown from Sydney to LAX? Not exactly enjoyable, especially just to do it again the next day.
Flying anywhere to/from LAX is not very enjoyable. |

Well, do you want to go to Kansas City?
(in the US preferably, unless the non-US person wants to pony up a ticket) No. [/quote] You'll miss some good Bar-B-Que. |

Is there even a normal zip of the new cgminer on here? I feel like throwing my computer through the wall every time I come here, for the new update.
Use 7-zip - it's free and you won't be breaking the winzip license like almost everyone does with winzip ... http://www.7-zip.org/windows has had .zip support built in for ages. no need to use .7z. M Who the heck uses Winzip anymore?!?!? Supporters of bloatware I guess. The .zip implementation in Windoze doesn't do .7z format. 7Zip is a great archiver/compression utility and is cross platform. I would highly recommend it. Sam |

My first reaction was ckolivas. Maybe kano if he can't. My second opinion is Graet, but I wanna say he's in AU.
They're all in Australia. Yes, we're all in Australia, in various different cities. Well, do you want to go to Kansas City? |

I would love to as I am from Missouri and would like to see the facility. But I doubt the bitcointalk community would nominate me as a credible representative.  Sam On a more serious note, I would like to see Eleuthria or Graeme Tee, or maybe one of Graet's support folks in the US. |

Thats a good rate do you leave it running 24/7?
Yep, have been for over a year now. Also it has been starting to get down to the high 30's F now at night and I haven't had to turn on the heat yet . Sam |

Yeah that sounds about right and I suppose the gpu will be worthless when/if it happens! I might just buy some for now and try to reach 1btc by christmas with my gpu lol!
Oh, you'll get more than one bitcoin off your 5770 by Christmas. I'm running a 5830 and 5770 at about 517Mhs and getting 6 to 7 bitcoins a month still. Sam |

Fair enough what would you go with then? Just for mining...
I think he means that our GPU's may be completely obsolete in 3 to 5 months so make sure you can use the card for something else when that happens. Like gaming. Right now you can't really buy something else that would be better for just mining. All you can do is pre order an ASIC. But that won't help you mine now. Sam |

Not all cards are the same.. I have 4 identical 5830's and none of them will overclock past 930... voltage is locked ....... each stock voltage is 1.163 but one card is 1.125...... Sapphire Xtreme cards Hmm, I guess I don't know the significance of the voltage being locked. According to CGMiner my voltage is at 1.163 volts as well and it is a Sapphire Xtreme as well. But I do run it at 960Mhz. I used to run it at 970 but the new CGMiner seems to run the cards harder so I backed it down to 960 because I was starting to get HW errors. Wish I had 4 of them . Sam |

I have some 5830's and they suck.... I can never get passed that safe range, Voltage is locked.....
I have no problems overclocking my 5830 to 960Mhz. 300+ Mhs isn't bad. Sam |

"gpu-powertune" : "20",
Isn't the powertune only for 6990's? Did you try posting in the CGMiner thread? Also I didn't see your Catalyst version in you later post. Sam |

The point here is that I'm wondering if anyone knows why the 9800 GT card is freezing up the system when I use it to mine.
I managed to add a 1 gigabyte memory stick and it's still freezing up, just not as fast. It's annoying because before it freezes it gives me another 50Mhash/s. It would be nice if it ran stable but no such luck. UPDATE: Hmmm... I tried rcpminer -cuda and it hasn't frozen for like 15 minutes. But I can't find what flags to use to optimize the hash rate. On my main machine with the 5830 I use -v -w 128 and it helped. Maybe someone knows the proper flags for rcpminer? What I did was I used afterburner on the 9800 and lowered the memory clock and also increased the fan speed and it seems to have helped. That's an Nvidia card which are not good for bitcoin mining. The Mining Hardware Comparison chart may have some info for optimizing that card. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparisonSam |

I just want to make sure that I don't waste time solo mining a block that has already been solved... If it was going to take me say a week to solve a block, and I've been hashing on that block for 3 days when somebody else with a better setup or better luck solves it I don't want to continue hashing on that block for the last 4 days it would have taken me to solve it if someone else hadn't beat me to it.
Your not going to be hashing on a Bitcoin block for 3 or 4 days. The difficulty is set to try to achieve solving 144 blocks a day. Which is one block every 10 minutes. And your Bitcoin client will know very quickly when a block has been found. Sam |

A BFL singe mines 3.50 per month today. It was surely more in february and will be less in the future.
I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying a current BFL single, which produces around 800Mhs, gets 3.5 bitcoins a month? Should be a bit more, like 8-9 bitcoins, but yeah. 800mh/s is nothing these days. I'm getting more than 3.5 per month on less than 800Mhs. I wouldn't call 8 or 9 per month nothing. Sam |

It would be cool to still have the stratum speed vs. the legacy pool speed at the top of the page.
Will you ever discontinue the old protocol?
Thanks,

I've seen no good news about a guy that just wants to run a single rig at his house to have some fun, make a little BTC to pay off the rig...but it seems that poor guy won't even get a return good enough to even pay off the rig (only $1300) itself.
---snip---
Since I'm middle class here I can't afford to spend $1300 on something that may not do anything. I wish there were guarantees here....
Why this self defeating "only the rich get richer" attitude? Should there be any guarantees? Is the whole point of mining bitcoin to get rich? Does it take a high end rig to get some bitcoins? No, no and no. I have a fairly low end rig and if the ASIC's do come to fruition I will again have the low end version of those too. I too don't have allot of spare cash to invest in the highest end mining gear. But I am mining consistently, earning bitcoins for an investment over time. When bitcoin starts becoming a mainstream currency and increases in value then it will have been a useful endeavor. I'm not going to get rich, most likely, but that's not my goal in life. Loosen up, quit being envious of those who have more than us, rich people have their own set of problems, usually worse than the problems we have. Hope I wasn't too preachy , Sam |

Hey, d:\bitcoin\phoenix>phoenix.exe -u http://********:*******:1111/ -k phatk2 DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INI AGGRESSION=4
Try BFI_ INT not BFI_INI in the commandline, maybe that is your problem. Good eye . Of course when having a problem it's usually best to start with the minimum of command line options and then work your way up after you get basic functionality established. Sam |
