They're on the first post of this thread? at least, thats where I found them. That's the way proper forum software development usually works. Update software, edit main post to reflect changes.

ok I guess thats easier than posting a url link with hundreds of post
Guess I should have know that the first post was edited... really
I'm not a mind reader
62  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Windows 7 64 bit dual 5970 rig question on: May 10, 2011, 04:09:55 PM
are you connecting a monitor to each card ?
If not you may need a dummy vga plug in the ones without monitor

1.46 has been released which fixes the idle problem.

ok where do you get it ??
Are you serious ?  Roll Eyes First post ...

are you serious.. seemed clear enough... were are the downloads for 1.46
Is it so hard to post the url when announcing an updated version ?

65  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Speed of mining slows down without a monitor? on: May 10, 2011, 02:57:31 PM
my 6990s usuually mine @ 333 per core.
when i pulled the monitor out, it now mines at around 250 per core (i can tell on deepbit)
the fans also slowed down alot so its really quiet but mines really slowly.
is this normal? im using pheonix miner with agression 10.
how do i make it faster without a monitor?
also i pulled out the mouse and keyboard

try using a vga dummy plug when you unplug the monitor
Winblows probably is detectong to lack of monitor & shutting down the gpu

Seeing everyone was aware of the "breakin / hacking"
Just who is to blame for not checking your account's accuracy?
How are The pool operators supposed to know what your bit coin address should be ??

I think even if they didn't say to you would change your password and make sure the coins were going to your account knowing that someone else's accounts had been compromised.

Seems to be coming back
Hash rate is increasing
and connections seem to be staying up
69  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (270Ghash/s) on: May 08, 2011, 02:17:11 PM
Slush's pool is up & down like a yoyo
I've had several hash's found but not showing as they got to the pool
I think he's under a serious attack

I want to install this miner as a service in windows 7. Is it possible? I tried to create a service using Sc.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192) but the service didn't started up.

I'm using it with Win7 64 bit
Win 7 is fussy about what it runs as a service
you could run it as a scheduled task at startup

Thanks. I will try. Can I make a scheduled task invisible for user?

the running miner wont be visable
you can even hide the scheduled task that starts the miner

Thanks!

I hid it using this utility http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/hstart.html

done that too
but in win7 it's not nessary

502 Bad Gateway

site is down...

Can someone explain to me why this happens? Is this the bitcoin daemon crashing?

Web site is down but the pool still is sending out getworks and my my miner is hashing them
75  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin newcomer; How should I use my 45-computer array ? on: April 16, 2011, 09:17:20 PM
with 45 he'll probably see .5 or better bit coins per day
I see about .1 per day with 11 part time cpu only machines
and those machines aren't the fastest
and only another .1 from my gpu

Yes you use some more power with the cpu @ 100% but not that much
you may as well make the thing do something
"Not that much". According to Tom's Hardware (linked to twice above) it ranges from around 55W for a low-end CPU to 99W. 55W multiplied by 45 computers is 2475W. That's the equivalent of running 2 and a half "bar heaters". If I did that 24 hours a day I'd be looking for a lot more that 0.5 BTC a day to cover the increased electricity bill. You may as well save the money and buy bitcoins instead.

estimates are bs  what his Actual power costs are speculation
What you pay for electricity my not be what he pays
its all speculation

and just WTF is a BAR heater ?? like that means somthing

77  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Bitcoin newcomer; How should I use my 45-computer array ? on: April 16, 2011, 08:24:17 PM
but it will take a yr to PAY for those gpu's
that's untrue,
at current difficulty and market-prices it would take just about 3months to pay the 50bucks for a HD5570,
so in about 4-5months you'd be in profit.

running 45CPUs at 100% probably won't gain you any profit ever.


Guess you get better prices than  most

He did NOT ask what would be better
he stated he has 45 machines that already run 24/7   
Guess YOU CAN't read (or is the problem comprehension)

Huh?  Looks like you're the one who can't read.

And just what did I miss
he stated that those 45 machines already run 24/7

but  you  all insist  ... would be better .... spend on cards ...
I don't think that was his question

Yes putting a gpu in each machine would earn more
but it will take a yr to PAY for those gpu's

since he's already paying the power bill for 45 computers
what's so hard to comprehend

not that much

He's already paying the power bill for 45 computers idling - there's a difference between the power bill for 45 computers each idling on ~4% CPU, and 45 computers maxing out their CPUs at 100%:
You're not using spare CPU time; you'll instead be running all of those computers at full power 24/7, which is roughly an extra 70 watts each.

I have 45 pc's running 24/7, all connected to the internet. They are used for automation processes, and I access most of them using remote-access software.
- They're all running Windows XP (and need to remain that way)
- Most of them are intel p4's running at 2.8 ghz.
- Some of them have video cards installed, but nothing newer than 3 years old.

I've read that CPU mining is no longer profitable.... but I'm searching for a way to monetize the spare CPU time.

Any thoughts?
Forget it.  A 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 will only achieve around 1.12 million hashes per second.  All 45 computers, together, will be around 50 million per second.  You're not using spare CPU time; you'll instead be running all of those computers at full power 24/7, which is roughly an extra 70 watts each.  So 3150 watts to produce 50 million hashes per second.

At the current bitcoin difficulty, it would take you around 12 weeks to generate 50 bitcoins (and that's assuming difficulty doesn't increase, which is unlikely).  12 weeks * 3150 watts = 6300 kilowatt hours of electicity.  At average US residential rates (~$0.11/kilowatt hour), that's around $700 of electricity to generate 50 bitcoins which may be worth roughly $40.  (Plus don't forget about the added wear and tear on the computers and the extra heat they'll be generating, and all of the fans that will be running at full speed all the time.)

By comparison, a single 5970 video card will use 300 watts to generate 600+ million hashes per second.  That is 12 times faster with 10.5 times less power, or 126 times more efficient.

So ... no.  Smiley

I'd suggest slush's pool with puddinpops rpc miner on each machine
