all 3 will work great if only 3 is installed
if i install 4...then i get problems with the miner/openCL
i swapped all 4 cards (I have 8 total) and its not the cards, its somewhere software or motherboard setting related (i have two identical mobos too)
the mobo supports 4 graphics cards, at x8/x8/x8/x8
Oh that changes alot. Do you have one of those integrated graphics thing? AMD Windows drivers support only up to 4 gpus. |

This is kinda insane. Not a single one of your cards work? Open the command prompt, run poclbm without flags and write down whatever you're getting. |

This is an interesting thread. Here's my take:
Bitcoin is a fantastic tool, as it stands. Thus, I embrace it.
When it is no longer a useful tool, I will toss it like a broken clock.
In the face of what's coming is that an option? It's not that easy to change Bitcoin. This isn't OpenOffice, you need the miners and investors to adopt your modification to the code or it's all naught. |

The official clock boundaries are set in the bios. I don't know much about Linux, on the other hand, I know from experience it's not too complicated to modify your bios with RBE (which is a windows tool if I recall. Yet once it's done, you're all good).

Hmm, that's not an error I've ever seen. The gui miner should work regardless of the actual miner tools working.
I'm at a loss on this one - is that the same error you get when trying to run poclbm?
yes, except it says poclbm.exe, and it doesn't have the orange icon so, same thing really.... This was not happening untill I re-installed drivers Perhaps I should re-install windows? it only takes like 15 minutes anyway lol Just wondering, you sure you have installed opencl drivers? Or the sdk itself? |

One problem I see with this is that people who simply disagree on a subject will start giving each other negative karma and eventually it will invalidate the helpful post they make
I think this is one problem the advanced reputation system attempts to address--users who get in a negative karma war will end up invalidating their own ability to influence reputation. Can someone who has used the system comment on the "softer" points of how it tends to work out socially? What about some sort of peer vouching system or mods review of a member before he/she becomes eligible for the system? |

My fear too. |

You're forgetting the BFI_INT part. People earned around 10-15% out of it. Before any of this, the network hashrate was around 750, and spiked beyond 800 a few times. The simple addition of BFI_INT would have the exact same network anywhere around 825~920 Gh/s.
Also I, too, am expecting the OCN crowd to bail out of mining within a couple weeks.

based on the intrinsic properties I thought that was explicit enough. I am merely pointing out that both the poll question and the answers are poorly worded. For instance, in the example you quoted, what are the "intrinsic properties" of "it"? More to the point, what IS the "it" being referred to? You assume it's Bitcoin, but it may not be. The whole sentence stroke me as "do you value Bitcoin because of it's properties, which make it a proper currency". |

So all the calculator "estimates" are wrong? ...then how long will it take me to actually get a block done lol.
The calculator isn't wrong. It shows the probability to solve a block based on time and hashing power. Your perception of hashing is some sort of linear, cumulative work that results in a block you are working on alone, like some sort of a puzzle. It is not. It is like brute force password cracking. You go through all the possibilities, hoping to hit the right one. Sometimes you luck out and hit it fast, sometimes you don't. The calculator gives you an estimate of how you long you have to hash in average to resolve a block. The increase of competitors is factored in with the difficulty so the calculator's estimate is about right. |

Any plans on offering some sort of euro exchange?

So then how does non-pool know where to send the coins?
The bitcoind software "mixes" your bitcoin address with the block before serving you with the hashes, so that once it is resolved, the 50 unclaimed coins reward attached to the block are attached to that address. Also, I was wondering how the normal block mining works. Does only one person mine one block at a time, or do multiple? If you stop mining, and continue later, do you mine from the same block or a different one? This seems kind of unfair, because what if one person finished 99% of one block, and another person comes and finishes it, and gets the coins. Can whole blocks be stale? (That's a lot of time wasted...) Blocks can be stale and usually are. The entire network is fighting over the same block. |

What do you guys expect? The average economics forum lurker sees Bitcoin as a scam at first glance. What is left for gamers, an audience that has no experience in economics nor the tech involved in Bitcoin.

Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 describes the equivalence between energy and mass. Quantum physics is not involved.
If you push something so that it goes faster, the energy from your push increases the mass of the object by the amount indicated by E=mc2. This is quite a small amount, so we don't notice it in day-to-day life, but it is readily measurable.
In the same way, a battery gets slightly heavier when you charge it up, and slightly lighter when you discharge it. This is due to the extra energy in the charged battery causing chemical changes that result in matter that has a higher energy state (and is therefore more massive according to E=mc2). Freaky, huh?
A common way of defining matter is as anything that has mass and occupies volume How convenient to forget about the second property of matter... |

Hey guys,
I've been mining for a few days now, and I just want to ask a few things.
Right now, I have a HD 6990. I get about 600-630 mhash/s. I've been mining on deepbit's pool for about 5 days now. I wanted to ask if it's better to mine in a pool or solo if you have a decent-very good rig.
From what I understand,
Each block solved is 50BTC. In a pool, the 50BTC is divided by how many shares you solved in the block (for proportional). When you mine solo, I'm pretty sure it's the same right? Is the average number of shares the same? Can the whole block you solve be stale if you do solo?
If I started mining solo today, on average, how many days would it take to solve a block? Should I stick to pool, or should I give solo a shot?
If you have a few very good rigs, you should consider soloing. The difference between soloing and pooling is the variance. While you can be lucky solo and find a block really fast, it will balance out with a very long block eventually. In a pool you'll get your share of each block every time a block is found. So let's say you have the power to mine 10 BTC a day. In a pool, you'll hit those 10 BTC pretty much every day. Some times it'll be 9, sometimes it'll be 11, but overall, it'll have low variance. Solo, you'd be expecting a block every 5 days, but you might very well go 2 weeks without a hit or solve a block in an hour. In the long term, the only difference in reward between solo and pool mining is the fee the pool charges. |

That sucks, dude. At least in America we have Ron Paul, even if there is no one else who believes in liberty. You know, I'm not so sure Louis XIV was wrong when he said "L'etat c'est moi". He meant only himself, but really I am the state and you are the state, everyone is individually sovereign over themselves. Too bad more politicians don't think so...
French political tendencies are modeled around the poeple who beheaded Louis XVI, guys like Jean Jacques Rousseau, who states outright that a proper society cannot be achieved while private property is maintained. |

Lol I confess I am fairly ignorant of French politics, but I believe Markosy is your current president. Is he running for re-election?
As unpopular as he is, Sarkozy is running for re-election indeed. Oops, shit, "Sarkozy". Is he the dwarf or the one of the socialists? He's the dwarf (he's like 5"3 and angry), and his terrible handling of states affair has opened the door wide opened for the socialists to win in 2012. You have to understand, the leftists are the "good guys" in France. |
