proportional is the best, because pay per share has a 10% fee. also, it's better to join a pool with 0% fee, so you get higher earnings  my clock:  |

Assuming you pay for electricity/air conditioning and have a electricity rate of 5.5 cents per kilowatt hour, the next difficulty jump will make mining unprofitable!
when will it happen? mining will ALWAYS be profitable, in the long term. once it becomes unprofitable, people will drop out, causing the difficultly to decrease, which will make it profitable again. |

that price is off. Newegg has 5830 for $109, and they were on sale last week for $99/each so $.33/Mh/s I can't buy it in PR.China, how much is the ship cost to Hongkong? probably $20+ more. |

if you're using 5850 xtreme, and you have enough cooling, you should be able to get 400 MH/s, stable. core @ 1020, mem @ 225, 1.2 v.

for listtractions I get -
error: {"code";-32601,"message":"Method not found"}
I am using the Windows exe.
Do I need to list the account?
spelling fail. |

obviously 5830, in terms of MH/$, although the heat generated from the 5830, and the increased power consumption may be an issue.
Thanks. I was thinking the the 5830's would be good to leave on as dedicated miners, while I use my 460 for gaming and mining while not in use. Running at pci-e 8x shouldn't be a problem, right? Heat isn't an issue, I have a HAF 932, and I game with a headset on so having the fans running fast doesn't bother me. you have to make sure that your power supply can handle 2 cards. 5830s (i think) use 175W (more if you're overclocking), whereas 5850 use 150 W. so if you're running 2x5830 (350 W), you're gonna have to get a hefty power supply. as for pci-e connections, any pci-e slot will do. 5850: Maximum board power: 151 Watts http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5850/Pages/ati-radeon-hd-5850-overview.aspx#25830: Maximum board power: 151 Watts http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/ati-radeon-hd-5000/hd-5830/Pages/hd-5830-overview.aspx#2 |

Correct, which is why Eligius is a good first step along this path, because you *can* verify that at least the number of shares present in the mysql db were generated for given round, even if you can't prove that no shares from clients were incorrectly rejected. But it's possible to do better than this *and* have increased reliability.
That's a step in the right direction.  Let's hope the major pools can join in on this |

wow, what made you people think that setting up miners in a developing country with poor electricity grid is a good idea?. |

Few problems with that one: 1) I'm a computer hobbyist, not a professional. I'd be embarrassed to release my PHP code  . 1a) I'm a procedural style programmer. Separating design from the processing engine is something I'm working on, but they still get mixed together quite frequently. 2) The only major defining feature of a pool is its front-end. On the back end, most pools are fairly similar. If I released my PHP code, there would be nothing my pool offers that couldn't be cut & pasted somewhere else. On the update side of things: I've reworked how the system handles emails, and it is now sending valid MIME emails with both plaintext or HTML. A few users were having their confirmation emails rejected by systems that refused to accept a non-MIME formatted email. you could at least release a "stripped" version of the code, with only the basic functionality. just enough to set up a small private pool. |

you're probably going to get more hashes from your CPU, using ufasoft's miner.

The rig is $560 with shipping and tax, or with rounding about $600. I'm assuming you wouldn't want to take out a loan for a mining rig to find that you are short money, and wouldn't be able to build the rig, making the loan worthless, and the interest of 50bitcoins unpayable thus making everyone angry.
can you post the specs of your rig here? $560 seems a bit high for a rig |

I'm trying to build a mining rig, and I've priced one for about $600 with an output of 350 m/hashes/s which should pay for itself, and a second graphics card within 3 months, 4 months maximum (Electricity is paid for by the landlord, so all earnings are pure profit after initial expense is paid).
you're overpaying for your mining rig. You should be able to build a "base" rig (MB+CPU+RAM+600W PSU) for $250. add a 5850 (400 MH/s output) at $200 max, add in some other random stuff, and the price should be around $500. |

See page 2 in the very thread you quoted?!   I saw that picture, but it looked like all the video cards were plugged in. |

How do pci-e extenders, seen in this topic: https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6128.0 work? Can someone post a picture of a mining rig that uses those extenders? I'm having a hard time picturing how they could be useful, because the card will be more or less dangling from the cable. |

you'll have to lower your prices DRAMATICALLY if you want any sales.There are people (me) who sell namecoins at much lower prices than you do.
