i wouldnt recommend to calculate compound annual rates here. it dropped from ~78% a week to ~8% a month and i guess it will (or would if this kind of service is offered by anyone) go a lot deeper while difficulty still shoots up like it does lately, we're still closer to, or even above 10blocks/hr than 6.

Next round: 1 Mhash/s for 30 days for 15 BTC in any fractional amount And indeed it returned a bit more than this. Very worthwhile from my point of view. a bit more than what? here's my results: round 1 (7days) +2.34BTC/mhash round 2 (30days) +1.26BTC/mhash still profit though, thanks tcatm.

well, you could use a single (getwork-patched) bitcoin-node and connect multiple miners to it. works well with gpu-miners, although it eats some mhashes, not sure about cpus.

There is no reason to still be using Java 5 six years after it came out. Either upgrade to 6, or build your own copy.
and i always thought it's best to not change a running system. i rarely use java anyway and had no reason so far to upgrade. if i think about it, that's not even true, i remember that i had to downgrade from 6 to 5 to make some other stuff work.

Hi, what I'm doing wrong? Use the command line I put in the op post. Java on Windows requires you to use \ for path instead of /, and ; instead of : for path separators. No other OS is designed in such a braindead way to require that. still doesnt work for me java version "1.5.0_11" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

This may make bitcoin be considered by governments as a serious threat, and they will start fighting it too soon, ...
if they gonna fight it anyway, isn't it better the sooner they do? or do you want to invest (time/money/effort) into it first and have them fight it later?
|
|

does this work on nVidia cards which support OpenCL?
yes, it does. works fine for me on 8600GT and gtx260, so it should also work on all in between and above.

what options do you have, any "internet currencies" you already use anyway? skills or products to sell for bitcoins, like prepaid debit-/creditcards? people like to buy stuff, makes bitcoins useful too, so think about selling stuff instead of buying coins.
all just depends on what you've got and what you want.
|
|
|
besides all the trolling (gets boring, really), this You could sell your btc on Mt. Gox for * or on Bitcoin Market for *.
wasnt meant for the buyer anyway.

...more than just waste electricity ... like .... SETI.... something useful.
wouldn't it be cool, if all computers currently running SETI would actually do something useful instead?

i copy blockchains back and forth quite often and don't copy anything else than those 2 files, blk0001.dat & blkindex.dat, never bothered with anything else. works fine for me so far, so i guess it's alright. i think (and please correct me if i'm worng) anything else is client-related anyway and your gonna use the copy for another client, which has/creates its own keys/hashes and DB.
|
|
|
No block chain would ever be lost as long as at least a client holds it.
and how do you know for sure that its a *good chain* and not one of lots *a/b/c-sub-chains* that your connected to, if the client you just downloaded doesnt have that *checkpoint-feature*?
|
|
|
Did you build your client yourself? it needs to have the getwork-patch included, so if you didn't, just grab the win32-binary in the first post of this thread (works fine for me on 64bit XP&win7).
If you did (compile with patch, or grab), you need to start the bitcoin-client with the -server switch (maybe -rpcallowip=<IP> if a miner is running on a remote machine).

you're very welcome
|
|
|
ok, thanks, so it's nothing to worry about, no big deal anyway, GTX already found a new one, she's lucky lately.
|
|
|
i'm also not a big friend of weekly/monthly membership fees, so i just sent a few coins to the address above.
|
|
|
...about deleting the block chain, and having the client re download it to see if it adds that block....
i just tried not a completely new, but <80.000blocks chain and re-downloading, the block is still missing.
|
|
|
yeah, i also noticed that some blocks need some time to show up, i already restarted bitcoin, hoping it might materialize somehow, but it didn't. first time i noticed this, hopefully the last too.
|
|
|
here's another unusual behaviour, a lost block. the GTX-miner found 2blocks, both show the proof-of-work found...generated 50.00 in the debug.log, but it seems only one of them made it into my wallet.
