First of all you have an old version of GUIminer.
About OpenCL support - what does the (2.4) AppSDK say when you try installing it? Usually even just installing the current AMD driver should be enough!

The password should be irrelevant. Enable the console view in guiminer and post the command line (without the worker name, if you're paranoid that someone could mine for you...  ) that gets written when you start the miner. |

Most efficient below 1000 USD = FPGA currently. No GPU will beat a good FPGA at the moment and most likely in the future too...

then i tried to start up guiminer and in the solo utilities tab i went to the bitcoin-0.3.21-win32 client path, chose the BTC Guild pool and entered my username / password
Something seems wrong here. Don't use the solo mode, just choose the pool. Also on Btcguild you have to create a worker account for your miner, don't enter the login data for BTCguild in GUIminer! |

sorry might sound quite "stupid" but as the difficulty scales go up (meaning less bitcoins are generated per mh/s) would it not cause by default, an increase of value of BTC as they become more "rare" or "harder" to "produce"?
Only if the rate that people buy BTC keeps up with the rate BTC are generated. If there is more demand than ~7200 new BTC/day (plus what old miners are selling from their stashes, so maybe ~8000 BTC/day for a while still) price will go up, if there is less, price will go down. Difficulty wil FOLLOW price (as it might get unprofitable to mine at some points) but not vice versa - a merchant will nearly ALWAYS see ~7000-7500 BTC per day generated regardless of difficulty (and this is the only thing that drives price) unless a lot of miners quit at the same time. |

Ah, really!  Great to see, hopefully an equivalent page to http://mtgoxlive.com/ will come too (depending on Tradehill's API probably - Websockets would be great) |

Well, have you looked at the prices there  ? Also, just for those few bitcents... nah! I'll just wait a bit and when there's a bit more market activity I'll transfer some of my play money from MtGox there and start gambling on two markets (so far I got as much as via mining per day via gambling the rise + fall of the MtGox rate, so I save a GPU by putting up 2-4 trades in the evening! ). Another thing that would be needed: Namecoins(!) and Bitcoincharts integration |

I have a nvidia geforce gtx460 Send it to me and I give you 5 BTC. Easy! |

Only ~7000 GPUs. Also only nVidia GPUs.
There are 3 pools online with that much or more computational power right now. (Slush, BTCguild, deepbit)
Please change your thread title, you are claiming wrong information.

Naja, per Post würde ICH Bargeld niemals senden... und alleine dadurch dass die Rate erst bei Ankunft des Geldes festgelegt wird, wird's schon mal recht schwierig. Da vermutlich die Post gleich lange dauert wie die SEPA-Überweisung zu MtGox aber teurer und unsicherer ist, müsstest du schon tolle Raten bieten um mich als Kunden zu gewinnen! Generell ist die Idee aber sicher gut! @S0815 (oder so) Geldautomaten, bei denen man erstmal eine Stunde warten darf bis sie was ausspucken mag ich nicht so... Wenn dann müsste man schon vorher BTC überweisen und dann kann man später die Euros gegen einen einmal-PIN oder so abholen. |

Swepool is tiny compared to deepbit, this means you will see more variance from day to day. Mining one month in each pool will give you ~8% more on swepool. Mining one day depends entirely on luck. Also with deepbit PPS you are paying stale share miners, meaning every lame CPU miner that still submits a share from 2 days ago gets money that you would/could/should have earned. Nice of you to give 7% or your earnings to stale miners and another 3% to [Tycho] - I'm sure he'll take better care of it than you!  |

How high should ask prices typically be? I mean, as far as I get it, they are a small "bonus" for me for keeping these BTC safe over that time frame and/or cover for a few fees (like mtgox conversion) but all I have to do is anyways just post it on the site and I have 0 costs any more.
I'm all for having a few more descriptive charts (or a more descriptive output for beginners) since I see options as a VERY good thing for miners who want to expand their rigs for example and want to make sure at least x% of it can be paid off. On the other hand of course it limits the potential gains of such rallies as until yesterday, but that's a risk some people might like to take still.
It would also be great to see a few more examples as monte posted them and have maybe a few opinions on pricing (is 7 USD as ask price much or not? Would you buy into such a deal?).

I use http://mtgoxlive.com/ for a more short term market depth + recent trades overview if I feel the urge to put up a few orders gefore going to bed... |
|

If you put up orders for 1k GBP on either bitmarket.eu or tradehill at your desired rate, I guess you could get some people to sell you BTC, if that rate roughly matches the USD rate converted to GBP...
What might also work out is to contact Vladimir from this forum --> he sells mining contracts. Maybe he would be willing to either sell you BTC or escrow a trade.

I think you've found our mystery seller from mtgox this morning. Most of those are VERY old generated blocks.
what makes you think that's some kind of sale? Look at MtGox trade data a bit after 12PM UTC today and prepare to be amazed... Someone cashed out nearly a quarter million USD. |

wow back down to 13 last night.
I bought mass at 13.6. Thanks to whoever panicked, lol. Damn, I sold my play money on MtGox @ ~30 but bought back in @ ~28 and went to sleep... Tonight I'll stay awake... Playing with volatile markets is fun - especially when you win a few bitcoins in the process! |

I'm only really interested in the profit part anyways... Nice work so far, let's see how this will still be improved! /bookmarked Edit: Check out code.google.com/apis/chart/ for example... maybe it'll help you? |

zero scaling ability USB hubs vs. PCIe splitters... just look up the prices! Ethernet or USB (2.0 or 3.0) would be the way to go for sure (with Ethernet, you could do PoE and USB also allows electricity transport...) Anyways, as long as I just read about "I designed this and that and it does xxx MH/s" and noone releases even an FPGA implementation of that, I personally don't really trust it. Doing all of Bitcoins math in just 1 clock cycle for example takes quite a lot of gates, hm? |

There will be a winner every time a block is found. At the end of each round (whenever a block is found) the pool will randomly choose a BitLotto ticket to payout the current jackpot to the lucky miner!
...how? Something I like about many Bitcoin lotto pages is that they are 100% transparent in how they determine winners (depending on block hashes etc.). Just having a "random(1,number_of_tickets)" function somewhere is not exactly what I love to have when money is involved! Also again the usual question to new pools: Who gets the transaction fees and how will they be split in the future (after the 50 BTC reward goes down to 25, transaction fees will become more and more valuable!) |

What's really bugging me is the fact that I found 6 blocks for the pool so far but only got ~115 NMC due to pooling reasons  This one is a really evil stat! (Yes I know that this just means that I'm ~3 times more lucky than I should be... not that I would have earned this much solo) Looks like a lot of people recently found out about namecoins + profit in them! Still, only a single pool sounds really bad to me! |
