for 5xxx and 6xxx cards, enable vectors. experiment with the worksize (MUST BE POWERS OF 2), until you get the highest hash rate.

newb question, can you show me an example?
PRO ANSWER: search the forums Wink

no one will sell it to you, even with clearcoin. paypal chargebacks can be initiated up to 60 days after the transaction. so unless you want to wait 60 days to receive your coins, try another option.

So, I got in early, and got a batch harvested via CPU (12/2010).  Anyway to find out (roughly) the difficulty factor of my current batch and if it will finish in my lifetime ( @ 500K / sec )
118 years on average. You might be luckier...

Any market for a "slightly crunched" block  Grin   Maybe .05% done?  Not worth it to me to buy a GPU since I don't do games Sad    I guess eventually, the block will expire, and be re-issued tosome lucky person

there's no progress for mining. it's a huge lottery. no one will pay for your losing lottery tickets, and no one will pay you for your failed hashes.

ouch, seems like that brand of card isn't the best for overclocking Sad It's still ok though, so i'll bid 15 btc, shipped for it.

Classic... Bragging about your speed and your mining pool taunts you.

pool speed is calculated by the shares that you have submitted. that's why i sometimes get 600 MH/s on the pool site, but only 400 MH/s in the miner

4755  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Does pool hopping really work? on: May 29, 2011, 09:05:53 PM
That's right, you jump to the shares-based pool with the presently lowest round_time/mean_round_time fraction, or score-based pool if none are below 43% fraction. The switching takes only a second and is not a problem. I use a script to query the pools periodically/whenever bitcoind reports a new block and redirect the miners as necessary. This also simultaneously solves the unplanned pool downtime issue. Interestingly, bitcoind always reports new blocks at the same time as pools pushing new longpoll work, or no more than 10 seconds apart. Since the daemon and the miners use entirely different connections, that means transactions/block solutions are being propagated across the entire bitcoin network within 10 seconds or less on average.
isn't it better to stay with a pool until 43%, rather than switching to the lowest % pool? the graph in Raulo's paper shows that leaving before 43% carries a steep penalty.

Power Control Settings: 10%
whatt??

In Catalyst Control Center 11.5 voltage is controlled by a slider in the overdrive menu called Power Control Settings.
So 10% is 10% more than stock voltage.
oh. i thought you were using 10% of the stock voltage.

5850 is the most cost effective card.

there's no need for signing the binaries. the release announcements are pgp signed, with a hash of the binaries.
