The pools that have PPS usually post the amount they give per share. I believe it is worked into their respective equations on the pool.

but here are the ones i found

These are per share values advertised on their sites / calculation of SHARE/BTC made by (1 / PAYPERSHARE VALUE) and rounded up to full shares needed.

Deepbit.net: 0.00007931496901107 --- 12608 SHARES / 1 BTC
pps.bitparking.com: 0.000079315 --- 12608 SHARES / 1 BTC
swepool.net: 0.0000810775 --- 12334 SHARES / 1 BTC
continuumpool.com: 0.0000837344 --- 11943 SHARES / 1 BTC


CONTINUUMPOOL.COM will give you the most per share of pools i have found, please add more.

This being a comparison directly of Pay Per Share value. Server Speed, Uptime, Features, Pay Options, Minimum Value for payment still could bring you somewhere else.

I went forward and bought the 5770 for $94 .. bought from a well reviewed seller on Amazon

It is time for me to leave the CPU mining behind..

I have been mining w/ CPU 5 days .. I have .. 0.02 BTC !!!

im a broke CPU miner

what about this deal, i might go for it..

Asus ATI Radeon CuCore HD5770 - $94.00

The truth of the matter is: There is nobody else but you. We are all figments of your imagination.


LUL


and lay off the drugs bro. you are getting paranoid. hahaha

I run multiple instances of CPU miner for the same reason ..

I have only noticed 1 conversation prior about this topic .. weird it isnt discussed while setting up rigs


must be nice to have all those MH/s and now more steady earnings

With a licence to grow medical the profit margin on marijuana is WAY higher.

With the cost of growing and price of selling pretty much locked in the past 10 years you don't really have much risk.

Well unless its legalized

could be good news, could be bad

but bitcoin sales are skyrocketing .. its seems some are getting out .. or just cashing in at this high

That is not good...

is everything ok, did you restart it ?

does it smell like burnt plastic ?

where you able to ctrl+alt+f1 to get to tty1 ?

What Specs? Software ? Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10, or 11.04

have you thought of adding external cooling, just incase.

Sooo many questions, soooo little information...

uncool story bro ...

how bout a pool with Pay Per Share above 0.0000793149 and payments as low as 0.01 ?

I bought 2 BTC yesterday Already made money if I was to sell !! lol

almost mined my first .01 !!

but by reading these topics .. I can see where the REAL profit is and its not hiding.

a deepbit.net competitor .. real competitor .. lots of money there ...

I am going to start planning one.. with advertised feature of fees 1% less than deepbit

feel free to take this idea, steal and expand it.

LOL

I dont think BTC is going anywhere for awhile.

Oh yes definitely !!

This is not really a sustainable effort, but rather i read about Bitcoins 3 days ago and jumped in the pool, lol.

I will be looking for some GPU's soon, but I also understand I am coming to this thing very late. So I will be looking for "Gaming" cards.. I wont be making a Server Farm anytime soon.

Im doing it for the pure enjoyment. I know I will not be getting rich on Bitcoins. lol

I would like to let you know why i continue to use deepbit.net

I have been mining for 3 days today.

I dont have access to GPU's at the moment, im only getting 6-8 MHash/s

No other pool is allowing me to checkout 0.01 BTC .. which I will be finally achieving tonight (and i plan to take, lol)


but, yes I dont understand why so many LARGE rig owners are using it, If I had even 1 ATI 5850 i would be somewhere else for the lower fee.

Lower Fee = More Money

.0007xxxx per share is what deepbit is offering, and is lower than other Pay Per Share, but swesub i will have to mine 30 days with CPU to withdraw (.10 min limit) .. and continumm i would have to wait 10 months (1 BTC) ... so CPU miner's only friend atm deepbit, it lets me put 0.01 in my wallet, because if the pool crashes.. my bank could be gone .. and CPU mining takes a long time

its actually at 49% right now ..

I am a n00b CPU Miner without enough MHash/s to make a difference.

So what happens now

I would like to give another example

my balance yesterday-  deepbit.net: 0.00393720 BTC
my balance today      -  deepbit.net: 0.00750637 BTC

I made the first .00393720 in 48 hours
the second 0.00356917 in 24 hours

I almost doubled my 2 days of work in only ONE DAY ! this is even with the increased difficulty !!

when i started deepbit.net gave about .0001 per share ..
now its only .00008

My CPUs were getting about 3.7-4.0 MHash/s Total
Now they are getting 6-8 MHashes/s Total

So what changed - using a compiled version of Ufasoft Miner for Linux - instead of VirtualBox
but the biggest improvement was RUNNING MULTIPLE UFASOFT INSTANCES - as many as you have cores - I run 2 per machine.

The Sad Truth - at this rate .. 30 days will only get me .10 BTC - about $1.82 - COMPLETELY NOT COST EFFICIENT EVEN IF ELECTRICITY IS FREE

but I do have hope for the bitcoin to INCREASE in price.. possibly up to $40-$50 in the future.. but even at that great moment.. my 30 days of CPU mining is worth $4 ...

While CPU mining can offer experience into bitcoins and how people are doing this, it WILL NEVER be profitable again and should never be used for long term use (30 day example)

I have been running CPUs for 3 days -

deepbit: 0.00750637 BTC
BTCguild: 0.00031313 BTC

Total: 0.0078195 BTC
91 shares Accepted

Average of 0.000085929 BTC per share ... operated in 2 different difficulty changes .. 2 pools .. 8 Proportional shares .. the rest PPS

the positive: I am getting what is advertised on the pools

While I am definitly a n00b and not experienced like many users .. the data doesnt lie ..

CPU MINING = WASTE OF TIME
Always

mathx's complie is the only thing that i have been able to run in linux

http://sizone.org/~math/bitcoin/ufa


before i had that build, i ran the windows version in VirtualBox .. works great.


Also why is the Linux version source (mathx's build) v.0.10 while Windows binary is v.0.12 ?

That is a very very low amount of BTC. i smell exaggeration.

I want to Offer this as a comparison and ask if I am doing it wrong as well (and i like giving the stats)

MY BALANCE IN 2 DAYS:
deepbin.net: 0.00393720 BTC - 32 PPS shares, 4 Prop - Average: .000109367 per share
BTCGuild.com: 0.00031313 BTC - 4 Shares - Average: .000078282 per share

TOTAL: 0.00425033 BTC

while Ridiculously SMALL, way higher that the .0001 you have. in fact i get that every 28-34 minutes from deepbin.net.

I am also a newb and have 0 access to any graphics cards that support OpenCL at the moment, but after reading about bitcoins and mining i really wanted to do it. So I moved forward with CPU mining despite the warning, and knowing it will probably be a LOSS for me.


CPU Mining with a Terrible Terrible Terrible Terrible (Enough Terribles?) setup.

I have a laptop: Core 2 Duo - 2.0 GHZ - Has Run about 12 hours total - 1.7 MHash/s Average
I have a desktop: Pentium Dual Core - 2.0 GHZ - Has Run about 20 Hours - 2.0 MHash/s Average

I have been using ONLY Ufasoft bitcoin-miner v0.12

The laptop (Windows 7) usually set to use both cores, but set affinity to only 1 when i want to browse or something. - 1.7 MHash/s

The desktop (linux mint) Ufasoft running it in a virtual machine of windowsXP with 64MB of RAM and 32 Video RAM - Crazyness - i had issues installing from source, so just did that, gets 2.0 MHash/s

While the outlook is bleak, and doesnt compare to the results of OpenCL and ATI cards .. I am having fun doing it, and any pointers would be appreciated.

Anybody know how to fix this error, or what is causing it??

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poclbm.py", line 27, in <module>
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code

So if i stop the miner It does say that 0 Accepted .. i am using the same username/password as logging in.. and the main worker .. i have even port forwarded 8332 and 8333 for Bitcoin on router .. still red worker on MyAccount page ..

seems that it is definitely a issue that I am causing, just dont know how to fix it.

Ill let it run a couple hours .. see what happens... and post updates

average of 3.06 MHash/s on this laptop and 11-12 on my desktop .. CPU mining only at the moment, just started reading about it yesterday, wanted to try it out .... was working ... now i cant get it to

its seems that it is not accepting my shares

I am really new. Any help would be much appreciated.
So I decided to try out deepbit.net and yesterday I was having no issues, was able to connect and generated 0.00051738 BTC in my small little trial. I decided to turn on the computer and start reading more today, but now i am unable to connect to my account with the miner. I have been mining away, but My Account doesnt show me connected at all... I have tried multiple times and my name just stays red

So, 2 questions:

1. How can I fix this so I connect and my computers work is credited towards my account ?
2. Where is my work going now and who is getting credit for it ?

I am using Ufasoft
