Hey Doc! What gives? I've been hashing at ~ 10 gig and hardly made a dime today. I've even run out of work and sat idle several times. Are you under attack? Upgrading the servers? Etc? I gotta earn...

Thanks for the quick response doc. Good to know launching minimized is the fast mode. Now if my miners need to reboot they'll automatically start running BitMinter.

Can't wait to see what those new features you're working on.
Cheers, Aurum

Hi Doc,
I Love BitMinter. I finally figured out how to make BitMinter launch on bootup.
1. Is launching minimized the same as "Performance Mode?"
2. I wish I could change my account name and the name of a worker. Now I add a new worker to get a new name. How long should I leave the old worker in purgatory before deleting it so I don't loose any shares???
3. I have BFL miners plugged into GPU miners. I sure wish I could put BFL miners on BitCoin mining and assign GPUs to LiteCoin mining.
4. The Tune 'n Tweak settings I've settled on are:

• Work group size : 256
• Work intervals (ms) 77
• Manual vectors = unchecked
• Use BFI_INT if available = checked
• Buffer type: Use default

Penny for thoughts on better settings.
Skol, Aurum

Should we mourn his passing?

Bingo!!! I saved the bitminter_jnlp and changed the underscore to a dot and doubleclicked it and it ran and executed.

I disabled my antivirus program and clicked the "Engine Start" button. Then I get a popup that says:
"Do you want to open or save bitminter_jnlp (2.98 KB) from bitminter.com?"
If I click Open nothing happens. If I select Save and Open I get a popup window asking me which program to use to open it with.
Didn't the program used to be called bitminter.jnlp, dot not underscore jnlp???

I reinstalled Java 7.021 and Bitminter Client will DL but it is Unable to Launch.

Java said to uninstall obsolete version 6. I only have 7.021 and now it cannot recognize .jnlp:

Java did an upgrade (Version 7 Update 21) and now Bitminter Client will not launch.

I have a Bitcoin wallet and a Litecoin wallet but I cannot find a Namecoin wallet. When I read the descriptions I googled I cannot figure out what to do with them. Where do I store them?

It's amazing how many people are buying miners from Butterfly Labs and turning around and selling their order on eBay the next day.
The prices people are paying for Avalons is insane. Yesterday one went for $50,000:

Here's an Avalon that's bid up to $30,000 today:

Hi, I have one PC with a GeForce GT 400 and Bitminter loaded and ran fine recognizing my cpu and gpu. But, I have another PC with a GeForce 7500 LE and Bitminter does not recognize it. I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling from the NVIDIA website to no avail. I'd appreciate it if anyone knows how to make my gpu work? tia

(Note: Yes I know NVIDIA is slow. I just want to make sure I can run while I await delivery of my ASICs.)
