Bitcoin needs mining. Mining costs a whole lot of electricity. Electricity still mostly comes from fossil fuels.
Ergo, bitcoin isn't green.
Any thoughts about this?
Nice! So, do you have any better idea? What, no?

Someone want to buy all existing bitcoins? Nice! I am selling some of mine at 20 billions $ each ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Copying a file on a computer is not Bitcoin weakness. It's user fault for having an infected computer.
If my computer is infected everything is weak, i type a password and the virus read it for example.

Lategan explains that Bitcoin, a fast-growing global digital currency that resides solely in the cloud, has already been the victim of attacks. Lol i missed that before. Bitcoin has been the victim? Didn't know linode=bitcoin. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) And they want to find weaknesses in SHA256? Maybe it's SHA256 but they refer to AES seeing the mistakes they make

if satoshi is human and humans make mistakes, i think it's possible a large number of his private keys have already been lost permanently.
It was self-important enough to create an untraceable identity. I am sure it assigned the same importance to its Bitcoins as well. Back then bitcoin was just an experiment, bitcoins were mostly worthless, who know how many test they did with wallets and private keys?

FUD
Lol, bitcoin, wich has a market cap of less than 50 millions of $ discover a weakness that no one in all the world governments and banks and whatelse and trillions of $ discovered? Yeeeah sure. And what about Area 51? I've heard they have aliens there!!!

Or hey, what about a world war? That would certainly put a damper on R&D.
Exact opposite actually. It would put a damper on R&D for increasing chip densities. Notice i said a WORLD war? Not USA takeover of camel jockey capital. During world war 1 and 2 research skyrocketed. War is a great motivator for R&D

I have a 6950 2gb. Im using GUIMiner, and it's currently cracking at ~260MHash/s How many MHashes/s should i expect with this card?
At default clocks (800mhz core) my 6950 make like 325mhash/s with cgminer, pretty much same in Guiminer with -v -w128 And definitely underclock the memory, temperature will get lower. You can use MSI Afterburner for that (and remember that the first time you launch it you can go only to like 620mhz, then apply, close and launch again and go to like 300 and apply)

I am doing, give me some time to finish writing But the problem is that if all the dozens of pool open a thread here... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Or, in other words, tragedy of the commons

GPU = 106 kh/s for 2 Tesla GFX cards, reaper v. 13 CPU = 25 kh/s for 8 threads of Intel Xeon from Scrypt Miner. Kinda disappointed, to be honest. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) I like this. It gives a fair playing ground for miners with CPUs and GPUs. 1 ATI 6950 390kh/s...

Lol these critics are so fail. Lol the botnet argument, so much fail. And the second critic is even more fail, once more another "bitcoin is a good start but with OUR ruleset it's better"...

Why there is a pool thread here? Sure, new ppl can't post outside here, but then i want a thread for every pool. After all deepbit is in no way different from other pools.

Very interesting, i wonder what will happen

I'm going 50/50 with BTC/LTC right now (for every 1 BTC I mine, I buy 1 BTC worth of Litecoins). IMHO they're really cheap at the moment and way down from the year high. If only I could have bought Bitcoins this cheap. Edit: Woops, I meant to post this in the other Litecoin thread. Oh well, call the cops. I don't give a fk! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) How is that 50/50 when you say that every 1 BTC you mine you buy LTC with it. more like 100/0 lol. He mine 1 btc and keep it. Then mine another btc and sell it for ltc. And so on

Oh lol ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

IMO ScamCoins need to stay in the ScamCoin board. Not the bitcoin board, If you've got questions about the communistic garbage controlled by ONE MAN, Then goto HIS forums. RealSolid (creator of ScamCoins) Has had DMCA's SUCCESSFULLY filed against him He has PREMINED 12MILLION coins, and THEN started the blockchain He RESTARTED the blockchain He changed the blockreward, Twice now. He bans anyone who badmouths him on his forums. He has the power to "invalidate" a block, Effectivly Destroying all of your funds.

Try driver 11.11
They don't have the sdk 2.6 and don't have the 100%cpu bug
|
|
|
Yeah, looks like the 100% cpu bug
It's not a p2pool bug, it's about driver and using OpenCL (miner is in OpenCL of course) How to fix: update your driver.
