Using CCC 11.5 and I got a huge increase.  My 5850 went from 290 to 315.  My 5870 went from 360 to 405.  My 6870 went from 285 to 310.  Don't know if it will be everyone's experience or if this will be stable for me, but this was a great upgrade.

Depends on when you made your investment.  If you got in at 5 and your asset is sitting at 20, you haven't merely doubled your investment, you've quadrupled it, with strikes people as more exponential.

What were the temps? Did you overclock and did you increase voltages?

Try booting in safe mode and reinstall video drivers.

The drivers work fine for my other XFX 5850, an identical card.  I didn't increase voltage and the temps were always in the 70 range.
544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Have I fried my card? on: August 15, 2011, 02:52:27 PM
I have an XFX 5850 that I've been mining on for a few months.  It was my first card that I started mining with and it looks like it might have been the first to go.  I can't identify any physical problem with the card (burned or damaged transistors or broken fan), but when I try to boot with the card plugged in, my box won't make it past the Windows XP screen with the moving orange boxes under the logo.  I can run 3 other cards in that same slot and there are no problems.  Only with this card are there issues.

If I can't boot to Windows with the card, how can I test to see if it is fried somehow?

I haven't overclocked it past it's CCC limits and it has always been well ventilated.

I logged in and happened to see some funny action on the chart, so I immediately withdrew all my coins.  It might have something to do with a Twitter about the 3rd largest exchange losing their wallet.dat.
546  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Please help me solve the problem of trust on: July 25, 2011, 05:23:52 PM
Someone needs to start a site with this as a central purpose.  Trust centers around people doing what they say they will do.  So here's the idea.

You can earn trust points by either offering Bitcoins, or returning Bitcoins.

So you create an account and you know that you might be required to offer a Bitcoin.  You must transfer to a particular address, 1BTC by a certain time.  When you do, you get 1 trust point.

Or you might be selected to receive Bitcoins.  In this case, you have them transferred to your wallet, and you don't get the trust point until you transfer it back to the sender who gave it to you.

Based on the ratio on defaulting senders and receivers, the trust points might adjust.

Exactly, but, ironically enough, the one who stole the land WAS the employer.

Isn't it magical how this all comes full circle?

How did the employer steal the land then?  There is something you're not telling me.

You know the way macropolitics always works, economic destruction by officials, land purchase by corporations, jobs worked by people who could have never had a practical opportunity to influence either decision.

So.... not theft then.  OK.


Oh, that's right!  As long as it's techinically LEGAL then it's perfectly ok... unless we're talking about taxes, then of course it's definitely theft because all our standards are completely arbitrary.  I think I'm getting the hang of this libertarian thing!

Voluntary transactions are not theft; taxes are not voluntary.  If you're looking for inconsistencies in the libertarian position, you won't find in there.

I am sincerely sorry if you felt that it was taking the thread in a wrong direction. I have re-posted the same question in a different thread.

Once again I did not mean to offend you.

Now you're showing that you're just weak in general.  Man up and justify your question.

Taxes and laws are oppression, not job offers on a free market.

So if I give you a choice between death by gunshot or death by hanging... that's not oppression, right?  As long as you've got a choice, it's not oppression, right?

That is only an analogy if the employer in the first statement is offering a job and then banning the potential employee from doing anything else.  Criminal A, in offering a choice between a gunshot or hanging to Victim B, is kind of like a Government A that offering choices to Employer B, either employ people at a particular wage Government A approves of or don't employ anyone at all.

In both cases, the A's oppression stems from the forceful limiting of B's liberty. 


Which is exactly how it works in the real world with sweatshops.  The native people have had their lands removed from their ownership, therefore they have the option to do the only job available (work in a sweatshop) or die by starvation.

Do you get it now?

Then the oppression comes from the land theft, if that's what happened, not the employer.  You don't punish a doctor for dealing with your stab wound which was left by a mugger, do you?

In both cases, the A's oppression stems from the forceful limiting of B's liberty.  Criminal A arbitrarily takes away Victim B's liberty to simply be left alone.  Government A arbitrarily takes away Employer B's liberty to offer a wage below whatever wage Government A dictates.  In either case, you will forever lose this debate; not because you can't convince a majority of people to think like you (they already do), but because you rely on illogical non-analogies to support your fallacious premise, that you can make better decisions for people than they can make for themselves.

Give it up already.

Anyone else failing to have their payment sent out?  My threshold was 1.0 and it failed to send.  So I put it at 1.3, which is how many coins were in my Slush account, saved, and still it fails to pay.  Now I'm holding 1.4.

Do you have correct wallet address filled in profile?

Oh, Hell.  I'm an idiot.  It was missing a couple letters on the end for some reason, as though the copy and paste didn't totally work.  Probably fixed now.

 Cheesy

Status?

Payment sent at the half hour just like normal.  Thanks.

In what sense is it "open?"  I see the same status message as last night ... that they were going to open the site as of 1500 GMT (about 40 minutes ago).

I'm new to mtgox (post hack) and want to get some funds in there before trading opens.

Go to mtgox.com.  Don't refresh the support page.

What the aim of opening a exchange if the business!
I think they lost something more serious! Maybe the hacker deleted their backups as well! That will be the end of Mark!

Are you a simpleton or something?
560  Economy / Trading Discussion / MtGox OPEN on: June 25, 2011, 03:39:31 PM
Not open for business yet... but it's a start.
