http://bitcoinwatch.com/hashrate is steadily increasing, no jumps... Also the video card market "dried up"? Are you joking? Sure, maybe finding older cards like 5830 is not easy but it's plenty of GPUs here

Fascinating clint25n, you discovered the wheel  |

Then where is the problem? You have to make sure you have all the wallets where you have coins. As long as you don't lose them/overwrite/delete/whatelse it's ok

I using CAL for mining in 5870 and 6990, and the speed is 40-50% faster!
My spider sense tell me this is bullshit  |

Do you want a game with an economy? Go check EVE Online, and then your second life and his "ponzi schemes" will pale  But, selling EVE money for real money is not allowed |

Volume? Where are we going we don't need volume!

You need the wallet to be able to use the coin that that wallet had. You lose it, you are unable to recover the coins that it contain.

Because "virtual money? Ahahah, didn't you see all the news about anon and lulzsec hacking everything? Virtual money is madness, they will just hack it!"

Of course it will keep increasing forever, it's just the number of the block created after that transaction happened |

If you want to mine just download guiminer, join a pool and have fun. If you want to cpu mine use the ufasoft cpu miner in guiminer to mine

The supercomputers in top500 aren't made of GPUs... sure, we have enough GPUs to have much more FLOPs than them but can we do what THEY do faster? No.
Also the whole network hashrate is worth like 10/15 millions of $, the price to buy enough graphic cards to make 9000Ghash. And even 15 millions isn't so much compared to even only one of these supercomputers!

Mh.. is gold a currency or a commodity?

It's very simple. The ATI mining client is made in OpenCL that is supported from the 4000 series (so also 5000 and 6000)
The 2000 and 3000 series support CAL but as far as i know there is no mining client in CAL
The projects you name have a CAL client, that's why they run without problems on 3000 cards
Is a mining client in CAL doable? I think yes, should not be "too" hard... it will also make 6000 guys happy, no more freeze/crash when they use the GPU for something else...

Well, had I known about Bitcoin mining several months ago, I would have bought an HD 6950. But I'm stuck with this card now. And I am too partial towards Nvidia to make the switch.
Well, then keep nvidia, less difficulty for us |

Lol, a nice amount of patriotism... maybe we should invite Gavin here in Europe |

Something is definitely wrong!
Check your temperatures!! You can use GPU-Z for that

I can do gaming/mining/video on my Nvidia card, but ATI = instant crash.
Really? My 3 year old plays Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Just Cause 2, and Bulletstorm all the time while the AMD card is hashing! I've run three cards through his computer too, a 5850, a 4870, and now tonight a 5770, and all three worked fine while hashing! The key is to set the right aggression so as not to interfere with his games; with the 5850 it was 4, with the 4870 it was 3, and I haven't found the exact one for the 5770 yet but I'm using 3 This is of course all with Phoenix.exe -k phatk No, the crash only happens with the 6000 serie, it's a OpenCL bug, you start something that use the GPU while mining and ta dah: freeze. Even opening GPU-Z while mining lead to a freeze. But, if you first open GPU-Z, let it load and then you restart mining, everything is fine. This of course does not apply for gaming and what else The old CAL doesn't have this bug, if someone make a mining client in CAL that problem would disappear |
