Hmm, I have a payment of 2BTC due that still is saying "NOT SENT". Is it just waiting on confirmations or more funds for the server to payout, or has there been some sort of error?
More funds, balance too low. In previous rounds most miners switched to pps payout, and even with 10% commission there is no enough money for this. Too all miners: PPS payout mode disabled, until we reach beta and enough pool hash power. All already submitted shares with PPS mode, will be credited later.
Found another block. We should be doing well now with the amount of miners and finding a block in 24hours.

found another block!
We need more hash power ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) p.s. I go to check generated transactions and in one hour all payments processed... I will add 300k more Monday.

Once I return to my miners I can point more to this pool maybe Tuesday.

Wow, the pool is not very lucky right now. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

6.38¢ /kWh here is Manitoba, Canada ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Wow, cheap electricity and less need for room cooling!

When the summer comes around it is much worse as nearly 100% (actually I am not sure of this number, can anyone help???) of the cost of electricity also increases the cost of cooling. If you mean using air conditioning to remove heat that makes it a lot more expensive. A residential AC cooled by outside air wastes about 40% of the input energy, so you need about 1.67 Watts for the AC to remove 1 W of heat from the miner. That means the total electricity cost for mining will be 167% higher. Wow. Worse then I thought. I may need to move to liquid cooling to take heat outside. Your liquid cooling system's radiator is still going to dump all of that heat into the house unless you have long pipes leading to a radiator outside of your house. That is why I said 'take the heat outside.' ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I would use liquid cooling and put the radiator outside of the air conditioned space.

About 11 cents per kilowatt hour here. Right now as we are still in heating mode, part of the price (about 1/3) of the power goes towards reducing heating costs.

$859 USD last I checked.
you are kidding me right? specially at 6990 4GB at 699$ My guess is 599$ is fair $599 seems fair for new. I have seen used on ebay for $450 buy it now as well. Prices may drop with the 6990 as serious gamers will want it and sell their old cards. Much depends on the supply of 6990's as these gamers will not sell until their 6990's arrive in hand.

Well how do you know if youve successfully resolved a block ? Been mining for almost a week with 400KH/s but still nothing in my client Bitcoin client @.@
If you are getting the hash rate readout on the miner itself and it is changing every so often it is working. I have a 200kh/s miner that has not hit ever (14 days?). Difficulty is going up in an hour or two and it is going to get worse.

if i wanted to build a mining rig, would it be better for me to buy a USED GPU? With the rapid devaluation of computer parts, i can potentially get more computing power for my dollar. has anyone considered this? would this work? are there any problems with this?
It all depends on the price! There are some gamers that keep great care of their parts, keeping all boxes and packing and either smart or no overclocking. I know there is no guarantee... but when I see someone has kept everything together and clean it gives me a good feeling about the item. So far it has proven to be correct.

5970 that offers 90% of 6990 processing power can be still purchased for 70% of price, and you can get them used which make price to power ratio even better still, looks like great piece of hardware ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yes and will be a bigger supply of 5970's (and other 58xx etc) once the 6990 starts shipping in volume as gamers upgrade their rigs.

I have three mining rigs, two 5830, one has yet to solve any blocks, my 5870 has solved 4. Here is the kicker....
My 2.4ghz core 2 duo on 1 processor (780kh) solved one after being on for 5 days. It should do that every 1000 days or so?

- Shipping risk is on the buyer. I estimate a 1/200 chance of non delivery based upon Ebay feedback data.
What is your ebay username?

So my cable is not generating bitcoins at 2.0 speeds? It seems to be doing fine right now.

Send a distasteful but not dangerous item to a politician service.
I can mail copies of the Constitution to any politician in the U.S. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) The politician may label that item as dangerous.

It occurred to me after seeing the listing, on the wiki trade page for a site, selling sex toys for bitcoins that there could be a problem with malicious "gifts". Since it is difficult or impossible for a merchant to determine if the address a product is sent to belongs to the person ordering it, I can imagine someone ordering a butt plug or ball gag for a local politician they did not like.
I think this is a plus. Someone needs to start a safe but annoying service..... Send a distasteful but not dangerous item to a politician service.
