My experience with my 5870 shows that worksize=128 works the best. With worksize=256 I show a slightly higher hashrate but overall submitted shares goes down a bit.

Tesla cards are good for double point precision calculations which is good for science simulations where accuracy is paramount. Bitcoin mining relies on raw mathing power where accuracy isn't as important as speed. Yes, I just said mathing.

I still haven't gotten an email. How can I tell where my shares, if I have any yet, are?

If you're on DeepBit like I was give Eligius or Continuum a try. I like having the coins say generated in my client instead of just receiving payments from somewhere.

My balance is showing OK on the EU page. I have .9 BTC on the US server so I would like to at least get to the payment threshold on that sometime.

Is the US server down? I can only connect to the EU one.

Anyone want to setup a neat graph thingy like someone did for Eligius? I am lazy.

I've been mining for a few months now and I started on Slush's then switched to Bitcoin Pool then switched to Deepbit then switched to Eligius. This morning before I finally went to sleep I decided to give solo mining on my video card a try. Went and did stuff today and when I got home a couple hours ago I had already found a block! I had "found" blocks a few times when I was pooled mining but this is my first whole solo block and I am one happy camper. What are the odds?

Which company is paying your electricity costs? Or school? Sounds like a sysadmin decided to try running bitcoin until his bosses notice.

Mining verifies the transactions. The horsepower is used to ensure that the block of transactions isn't fraudulent and that coins aren't being double spent. Coins aren't created. All of them exist in the system's code. They are just given out at a specified rate, decreasing towards zero, as a reward for helping run the network and to get them into circulation.

The last few days I have been getting a lot of Miner Queue is Empty errors. I've tried adjusting the askrate and turning the aggression down but neither seems to help. It is causing me to get a lot of rejected shares which is really annoying. Anyone have any tips on how to fix this? It does it with poclbm and phatk.

On my OC'd 5870 I went from 410 to 430. awwww yeeeeeaaaaah!

I bought a 5870 using dollars. Once that was payed off from mining I then bought portal 2 using bitcoins I mined. I just ordered a 5850 using some more of my mined bitcoins. I intend to keep flipping my mined coins or invest some on glbse once I familiarize myself with the interface.

Just finished buying an Amazon gift card code. Took a little while to get a response to my PM but after that it went fast and smooth. Will trade with again sometime soon.

+1 Tycho. Most people wouldn't be so nice. Sounds like some of the people attacking mt. gox have been looking for other attack vectors.

I won't be happy till I can pay off my students loans with 1BTC. 

I live on a large farm in iowa we can use as a strategic oil reserve. Start sending the tanker trucks.

Soon this is going to be my entire wardrobe.
