Ok, makes sense. But there seriously have been very few slow blocks all day at Deepbit. I'd say just by simply looking at the rate at which blocks are being solved its obvious that more hardware is being used today.
It was enough to make me change my Deepbit address for the first time in a while.

Interesting, I was just about to make a thread about this.
So, Bitcoinwatch and Bitcoincharts simply reflect the "hashrate" according to how many blocks are actually solved, and not how much computational power is actually there?
That seems a little weird to me. Definite patterns emerge on the graph at Bitcoinwatch, and it seems hard to believe that simple variance creates these patterns.

It's odd...after solving just one block in a reasonable amount of time at a pool, I really want to solo mine  |

Bump for Oreo.  ... More pics? Buy the dog and you can take your own. Just walk him near a college campus. |

How much for the woman?
 See how it applies now?   |

Not sure how this applies. |

sad thread.....
...or not. Make an offer, the little dude needs a good home! |

Just got #1 @ ~59.5 BTC |

Price IS IRRELEVANT. All that matters is price/difficulty.
 And the irrelevant part is... |

Also, consider the mathematical proof of "the boundary of a boundary = 0." This has vast implications for the "boundary" of the Universe, as well as all conditional objects/events/concepts contained therein. Also relevant is the idea that any identifiable object/concept/idea/etc. can only be identified in relation to what it is not. So, the Universe can only be identified in contrast to what it is not (all not-Universes), and yet, logically, there must be some relationship binding the Universe to all not-Universes. Syndiffeonesis ("sameness-in-difference") is the logical principle that any 2 relands 'x' and 'y' must share some common fundamental medium, even if it's a medium of absolute difference. So, even if you say the Universe is absolutely different from any and all not-Universes, they still fundamentally reduce to common syntax, i.e. inclusion within the medium of absolute difference. So, eventually what you get is an infinite regression, or a "tower of turtles," and every time you attempt to unify everything (e.g. the 'Singularity') you ultimately make the mistake of identifying that unity in contrast to what it is not. Christopher Langan attempts to solve this problem of infinite regression in his theory the CTMU ( www.ctmu.org), and even if he's a bit of a whack job, he has some really fucking good ideas. But really, why not just come to your own conclusions? I can't think of any good reason why a scientist or philosopher has any better chance of understanding absolute truth than I/you do. |

I don't follow, you are saying that life increases the overall entropy of the universe. How so? The current understanding (as I know it) is that the universe started as a point of minimum entropy, and is progression towards a state of maximum entropy. Any process that does work increases the entropy of a bounded system. Reading the 2nd Law of thermodynamics will help your understanding here. This is perhaps the most interesting wikipedia page I have ever come across: Timeline of the far futureAre you proposing that life somehow accelerates the rate of entropy increase, and thus the passage of time? Personally I don't if memvola would have meant that, and I also don't know about entropy increasing the rate of time (how would you measure the rate increase - against time?) I've studied chemical engineering - years back, I'll grant, but laws of thermodynamics haven't changed - and I can guarantee you that in a bounded system heat will never transfer from cold to hot. If the transfer of heat from hot to cold or heat changing to a state of less usefulness 'speeds up time', then I guess time is speeding up. Life increasing the rate of time? Well, time flies when you're having fun! Honestly you are probably more an expert than me (I do biology), so correct me where wrong. You mention bounded system, is the universe considered a bounded system? The activity of all life on earth is dependent upon the sun and somewhat geothermal energy. In this context, I don't think the activity of life is increasing entropy, in fact it is locally decreasing entropy, in effect slowing the propagation of entropy outwards to the rest of the system (the universe). I am thinking this is analagous to the way the greenhouse effect works with energy. Energy comes into the earth system, and it will leave eventually, but the presence of an atmosphere slows this process (resulting in a local increase in energy). The Universe is a closed system. If the Real Universe contains all that is real, and if there were something else outside of it that is 'real' enough, then it would be IN the Real Universe. Maybe there is such a something 'real' enough outside of it, but since our capacity for observation is (assumption) limited to this Universe only, it would be pretty much irrelevant. |

Assuming this is simply a request to authorities to investigate, here's what I have to say:
To Paraipan: Ok. Looks fine to me.
To everyone else: SO FUCKING WHAT?

I think all presidential candidates should be required to take 3 normed IQ tests and have their average score publicly released.
While I don't think IQ truly reflects 'intelligence,' it's still a good indicator of how many variables -- and interrelationships among these variables -- a person can hold in their mind.
We need people who can truly parch a situation in office. Implementing nice sounding policies and laws does no good if you aren't sure how those policies and laws will affect everything else. It's like a gigantic rubix cube on steroids.

So what do you think is the best exchange then? I dig cryptoxchange. Dwolla --> Bitinstant --> Cryptoxchange is quick. Also, $5 wires in and out of cryptoxchange. They swallow the wire fees so there's no outrageous $30+ wire costs. |

Dropping mem to 170 seems to give about 456 m/hash with core at 990. About a 5 m/hash boost for me.
So thats exactly the same result as I got with 2.4 sdk when corrected for clockspeed. Good to know. Enjoy the extra MH and lower powerconsumption  Nice Have you fudged around with the intensity or is i=9 considered ideal for the 5870? |

Hilarious that 2 of the 4 product listings on the occcu website are from people offering to buy Bitcoins for occcus One guy is offering 5 occus per BTC, the other is offering 1 occcu per BTC lol |

I found that changing the memory clock often makes the driver crash. Its not the speed, its the changing.
Best bet is quitting cgminer, change the values in your config file, wait 10 seconds or so, then relaunch cgminer.
Doing it on the fly from within cgminer, or changing too quickly quite often it would crash, even at speeds that are completely stable otherwise.
Note: I am doing this on a dedicated linux rig, I have no idea if running windows and Aero spoil the fun, but it could.
