Are you going to try the old mobo with the new PSU? I'm curious to find out what the problem actually was.

Can someone point me towards a readme file that explains how to install and operate these 'workers' or mining programs? Are they separate from the Bitcoin operating system?
...
I'm running an old Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop. It sucks but it's all I have right now. From my limited experience with Windows CPU mining, puddinpop's miner seems to work the best. 1. Set up an account and worker on slush's pool: http://mining.bitcoin.cz2. Download the miner: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qtxuv5kko1x116d/bitcoin-rpcminer-20110128-win32bin.zip3. Unzip the files into a directory like C:\puddinpop. 4. Open a command window and navigate to the install directory 5. Start the miner using a command like this: C:\puddinpop>rpcminer-cpu -url=mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user=xxxxxxxx -password=xxxxxxxx The user field will be your pool worker's full name, something like "bigbear.laptop" or whatever you set up on slush's site. You need to keep the command window open (minimized is OK) in order to continue mining. You do not need to have the bitcoin client running, but it is a good idea so you can receive the payments immediately. Definitely keep "generate" turned off in the bitcoin client. Good luck. |

It installed fine, but when I went to add it to the desktop I got the following message: This object could not be created for the following reason: Script initialization failed I'm running OpenSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4. |

I upgraded about 2 Ghash/s worth of miners a couple days ago with the latest version and haven't found anything since either. Maybe it's just a spell of bad luck. I'll update the thread if anything manifests.

Did you try plugging into the onboard DVI connector?

Excellent. Thanks for releasing this. Are you going to put a mention in the wiki?

Thank you, could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by slush' pool being "maniupulated" or "gamed"? (Not insinuating anything just want to be informed as possible.) See this thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3165.0. I don't think the threat is realistic at this point, especially since slush has taken measures to reduce the likelihood of this happening. I understand the fixed payout method of BitPenny's pool, but I've looked through Slush' thread and don't entirely understand how it's different.
Slush pays his workers according to the number of shares contributed. A share is a solution of a low-difficulty hash. This payout only occurs once a block is generated, however. BitPenny pays out regardless, under the assumption that the pool will generate a block at some point. Statistically, the payout should be very close, especially considering the size of slush's pool. Actually, the payout should be lower from BitPenny's pool since the commission is higher (slush charges 0-6%, your choice). I could see BitPenny's pool being useful if your CPU is so slow that you have a hard time even solving slush's smaller targets. Then again, if that's the case, you probably shouldn't be wasting the electricity. I'd love to see slush implement variable-sized targets. You could start each worker with an easy target and then gradually increase the difficulty until it reaches some optimal value (for a given hash rate, network latency, etc.). Or, let the user select individual difficulties for each worker. |

I have one HD 5870 that generated three blocks in one day last Sunday. I have other GPUs, notably a 5770 and 5850, that have been hashing for weeks with nothing to show for it. The slowest GPU has over 50% of the hash rate of the fastest GPU, so it makes no sense at all.

Folks, seriously, we've been over all this territory a million times. What happened to discussion of the Free State Project? Ignore gene and he will go back to reading the New York Times.

That illustrates the difference between mainstream and non-mainstream users.
In the US, your real name, address, and tax ID # are all associated with your bank accounts and brokerage accounts. This obviously does not alarm the populace at large, who continue to bank or buy stocks.
If Mt Gox started requiring KYC for accounts > $100 or > $500, I think that would be a fantastic signal of mainstream bitcoin acceptance, and a sign that Mt Gox will remain viable long term.
I think what we really need are at least two major Bitcoin exchanges, one in a welfare/warfare/police state like the U.S., where customers agree to give up their privacy in exchange for being "protected," and another in a peaceful, privacy-respecting jurisdiction that's not likely to give in to OECD arm twisting anytime soon. |

Based on logscale trendline analysis (see Monday's log scale chart), next big targets are in the 1.5$ to 1.7$ range, which is significant more upside (almost another 100%).
I agree that the recent consolidation is bullish, but there are 38,000 BTC in sell orders on Mt. Gox (not including dark pools) separating us from USD 1.5. Where will all the demand come from to overtake this? Or will the sell orders be withdrawn and re-entered at a higher price once traders get whiff of another rally? |

Perhaps in the future, as bitcoin becomes used extensively and the transaction volume becomes much greater, there will be plenty of "work" just growing the block chain, and the difficulty factor can be reduced accordingly. This way, more energy is put into supporting commerce and less into finding a hash with an arbitrary number of zeros.

If he does he will bring the tablet version of bitcoin...on an ipad ?
ewww, you said a dirty word. ipad. Lol, +1. We don't need overpriced, closed, proprietary devices sold by large corporations that are part of the fascist empire. I'm sure Satoshi would have an Android tablet. |

How often are you updating the difficulty factor? We have a new difficulty as of yesterday, but your charts don't reflect it.

Make sure the file is in the correct directory and that the file name is not misspelled. I don't know how file permissions work under Windows, but also make sure the file is readable by the user starting the server. Other than that, I have no clue.
