Moderation powers are dangerous here. For instance, a rouge mod can purposely change the payment addresses of transactions to steal bitcoins. There's a lot more reasons why it would work there and not here.
Well sure, that's why you'd give many people 'vote to lock/reopen/delete' type privileges and give almost nobody 'edit' privileges here. Differences in what makes sense for the site doesn't make the entire approach invalid. Can anyone guess what these 2 have in common? mootinator and  |

Have those forums have had over 70k members, I doubt it. Welcome to the internet buddy, I been on plenty of forums as well and a lot of them do have newbie only boards until you gain trust. Also discourse solution is to make everyone a mod at some point you gain, well guess what that is the wrong way to handle it. A very wrong way to handle it. Right now this works and if you don't like it go start your own bitcoin forum or better yet there are other bitcoin forums. UGH noobies just take your lumps like everyone else, I did it when I joined and I didn't complaint once I did what was asked and now look.
This is the kind of crap I'm talking about. I'm just engaging with another noob because I'm required to do so by the ridiculous constraints of this forum and I get crapped on by some self-righteous "veteran". Yes, in fact, one of the other forums I'm on has over 70k members and you can post anywhere as a noob. Allowing everyone the opportunity to accumulate enough trust to have some part in moderation is really the only way to deal with the scale of problems you run into with large communities. Ones that don't realize this are doomed to fail because of terrible signal/noise ratio eventually because the time/post contraints don't prove anything.   |

Hi everyone! I've been reading and searching the forum and the net for a couple of days now, trying to figure out the problem I'm having, and finally decided to post since nothing else was working. I'm totally new to mining, but not new to computers, software, and tweaking. I have a quad-core gaming machine with 8GB RAM and an Nvidia 9800GT card. I recently bought an AMD Radeon HD 6570 because it was the cheapest available AMD cards I could afford and get locally. When I look at the Hardware comparison guide ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Popular_Mining_Cards), I see that others have got between 68-114 Mh/s with this GPU. So imagine my shock when I load up GUIminer, set up an OpenCL miner for the card, and I'm only getting ~13 Mh/s!! I've tried different CLI flags but 13 is about the best rate I can get and still be stable. Currently, I'm using -v -w128 -f0. I also tried looking into overclocking (I've got my 9800GT overclocked slightly). I've tried MSI Afterburner as well as several other overclocking tools, but they either don't work at all, or don't allow me to make any changes to the 6570. I can make changes to my 9800GT using Afterburner. Is this card not overclockable? Is overclocking the only way to increase this performance? What am I doing wrong? I can understand that the card may not ever get to the 114 Mh/s rate, but 13 seems awfully low (lower than my 9800gt Nvidia card even, which gets ~30 Mh/s). I've spent the past 3-4 days fiddling with this thing and can't seem to get it anywhere near the range others have. Thanks in advance for any help. Let me know if you need any other info. My Computer: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Quad core 2.5Ghz 8 GB DDR3 RAM Asus P5E Deluxe motherboard Gigabyte Radeon HD 6570 (Slot 0, Master) Gigabyte GeForce 9800GT (Slot 1) All drivers are up-to-date as of today  Screen shots of your miner in progress, MSI AB please. |

Ordered a variety awhile back, forgot to leave feedback. Smooth order, timely shipping, no issues. Have several plants already growing in a small greenhouse.

I just bought two for $160, they're hard to find less than that
$120 each then 2x6950 for $240 Are you building a LTC farm? Now I'm thinking about decommissioning a box.  $125 then maybe one rig. Electricity too expensive for a farm what box do you mean? I have both 6950's in one box. These do 391 Kh/s per card 800/900 reduced voltage. Let me think on it and I'll give you a decision tomorrow. |

I'm looking to buy a 6950 for $100 if anyone was selling
I'll keep my eyes open. I'm not ready to sell mine just yet, they do pretty well on LTC. Although they probably are not worth much more than you are offering, I would be pressed to find a replacement for them. |

maybe 2gb takes a few more watts?
That's the premise. |

does the onboard ram make a difference for mhash in Litecoin mining?
Radeon 6950 1GB
VS
Radeon 6950 2GB
also do they both normally have 2x6pin pcie power
No difference I can tell. Both mine have 6 pin connectors. Some claim the 1 GB models can actually OC higher. I leave mine pretty much stock and under volted to save power and heat. I believe LTC mining shows Kh/s. |

Thanks, Blazr - it was a very generous offer and I appreciate it  It's good transactions and deals like this that give me hope for the community. Absolutely like seeing good loans. If more were this smooth more would make BTC available for loans. |

Due to the recent BTC rally I have decided to drop the interest on the outstanding part of this loan.
Current amount outstanding is 8.8BTC, 0.8BTC will be dropped. Scott is going to make a 4.8BTC payment today, after which outstanding amount will be 3.2BTC which will be extended for another month, with repayment of 3.5BTC on 31st/March
Repayment address stays the same 1PqZZVhfQX1RFckPB9NGhWNf5xg2kViej1
That was generous of you, not many would have done that. IMO that wouldn't be wrong but still a good gesture on your part. |

From what I understand, in solo mining, you don't make 1 BTC but rather the current reward of 50 BTC if you solve a block. The downside is that the difficulty is already high enough that even solo GPU mining with custom rigs stuffed with all of the high-end GPUs they can take could take years to solve one block. CPU mining was completely pointless long ago. You might be able to make a little BTC if you join a mining pool, where a bunch of miners agree to share the reward if any of them solve a block, but you probably still need some serious hardware to get anywhere.
Meanwhile, ASICs - custom-designed CPUs that do nothing but mine, are really expensive and also really fast - seem to be coming onto the market, and may make even pooled GPU mining pointless in the next few months.
Correct me if I'm wrong about anything, I'm still learning this stuff too...

I've also noticed a significant slow down in gift-card/code sales in Marketplace too. On the flip, there's been a handful of newb lenders offering fractional loans. Hmm...
I've noticed that too. Everyone is desperate to make BTC any way they can, it seems. I'm afraid as the economy tanks, it will only ramp up. |

I think they have registered new accounts and started a "noob hurt feelings movement." It does look like the scams have tapered off a bit thanks to many people keeping their eyes open. |

Dude, get lost, seriously. I'm not gonna bother with someone as thick-skulled as yourself. Had I detected even a shred of enlightened thought or observation in you, then I might bother giving you a few minutes of my time. But I didn't.
He certainly behaves like 13. But, hey, it's us who should "stop acting so stupid", not him.
And here yet another lie you told..... Keep them coming! |

How can it possibly be more user friendly than blockchain.info my wallet ? Honestly it is much better than the real brick and mortar banking (including debit cards and cash handling)
See here ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144333). A newbie loses $500. Part of the reason is the site's UI. The owner(?) of the site arrogantly points to him that he is the one to blame because he should have been more responsible and less stupid with his money. +1 for user-friendliness. Edited the URL. Obviously you also fail at reading comprehension. People tried to help him but he did something to cause the problem. Being new and uncertain of how things work, he went ahead and sent all his coins. That was his fault. I also see no one called him dumb as you claimed. Lie much? It goes back to that pesky read thing again. Also, piuk gave him 5BTC to help but I see you didn't mention that as it doesn't fit your noob meanness theme but keep up with the reality distortion. Your Noob arrogance is almost unbearable.
