I've been mining with 2Gh/s for 9 hours and my BTC balance has not changed. Can someone please enlighten me?
A block hasn't been found in the last 9 hours by Deepbit? Maybe? so based upon that, is it a good assumption that deepbit is dead?

I've bought BTC on eBay before. And paid with....wait for it .....Paypal!
|
|
|
PAYPAL! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Only with people you totally trust! Sell them on ebay, they sell for more than market price. Also, check and/or post on craigslist for local buyers.

Coinabul are good folks. My prices are better, but coinabul provide a much better retail experience. If I may ask here, what's your typical markup over spot for a Perth Mint 1oz bar? Coinabul around 8% for 1 oz bars. http://www.amagimetals.com/ is ~3%, WOW! Love the John Galt and Ron Paul coins, HAHA! edit: I could buy some gold, max out my credit cards and disappear hehe!

^ Right, you maintain your purchasing power as the dollar loses value. 1 oz of gold always has and always will buy 1 good suit.

Right, The current Fed induced high our markets feel is temporary. Its the same as the instant gradification felt by a gambler or drug user. Its temporary. To truly profit from the current clinate you must be patient and let things play out. Peter supports the fundamentals for the long haul. The only obstacles Peter's philosophy faces is government regulation and market restrictions. He cannot predict the stupid decisions politicians make. He does have a few small connections, like Rand Paul who listens to Peters views. On another note. Does anyone know about the legitimacy of these gold for bitcoin companies? Like http://www.coinabul.com ?

Remember the huge computer room of the 1960's and how it's the size of my iPhone now? I honestly believe such things are possible. Capitalism creates these innovations. It sounds like science fiction now, but imagine if you told the geeks of the 60's that you can build that same computer to be the size if your wallet? They'd laugh at you call it a scam. I'd really like to see a video from these guys explaining a bit more and letting their customers know who they are.

I got a question to counter this.
What is the intrinsic value of fiat money? It is made of paper, some coins of different metals, but most of it is digital.
You can wipe your butt with paper dollars (will hurt tho), burn it as fuel for a fire, make paper airplanes, snort cocaine, melt down coins into bullets, throw coins as weapons, use them in chance games (heads/tales), etc. That would be intrinsic value. Gold/silver have many industrial applications, they're scarce, can't be created without blowing up a star, and are divisible. The problem Peter has with bitcoin is it only serves one purpose and you can't hold them in your hand. He's old school, but he'll come around when the market proves itself.

Mine came in the mail this morning in VA, USA!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!

That's reportedly version 3.2.0 and 3.2.1 (although it might be fixed in 3.2.1). The reason why it matters is that cgminer 3.2.1 has been altered to work better with the USB ASICS (making them hot swappable and supposedly reducing the HW error rate). Getting the HW error rate as low as possible to improve miner efficiency and productivity will help improve profitability.
I have a fan on mine. FED EX guy just brought 5 more to the door! WOOT! Hooked 'em up asap. ...getting ~2375Mh/s on 6 USB's

Just got my USB ASICminer running on an Anker USB 3.0 hub using cgminer-nogpu v3.1.1. So it can be done. Here's my .bat file txt. C:\Users\my name\Desktop\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o http://rr.btcmp.com:8332 -u XXX -p YYY --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S \\.\COM3 It worked after repeatedly installing these drivers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspxKeep doing it until the "(COM3)" appears after the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge" If "(COM3)" is not visible for 1 USB device, cgminer can't see it. This is coming from an excited noob miner. I DID IT!!!Can't wait for my other 5 to come in the mail. It definitely works with 3.1.1. The question is whether it works with 3.2.1 or not. I have the same config, btw, with an Anker USB 3.0 hub. M I read somewhere that the Anker 3.0's wouldn't work with cgminer. Not trying to be smart, but why should we even care if it doesn't work with 3.2.1 or higher. If it works, it works....right?

could someone post some typical macminer 1.3 advanced settings when using a block erupter?
i started with the default settings, 2 minutes in the poor thing felt like it was going to burst into flames
turned the dynamic intensity off and set intensity to 1. the MH display seems to jumping around from ~200 to 800
-S /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART thanks but I'm meaning more along the lines of the intensity / dynamic intensity / work size / vector settings in the macminer GUI I use the default settings I = 2 dynamic intensity (checked), nothing else checked Disable GPU mining checked work size = 128 vectors = 1 I haven't tried it any other way. My pool has it clocked at ~240 Mh/s after a couple mins. edit: I put the intensity = 20, no change, pool now says 383 Mh

I've finally identified and removed the cause of the crash on start bug which was affecting all users who hadn't already gone through auto-config. Very sorry about that! Now that the app is contained I can keep a free VM for testing it from now on without having to keep reinstalling them so testing will be more thorough from here on.
1.3 just released should be a stable version and the 1.3 branch will only get bug fixes, when new features are introduced they will be in 1.4 beta version until I get a few confirmations from the wild that it's working OK.
I get this error when I run 1.3 dyld: Library not loaded: /Applications/MacMiner.app/Contents/Resources/curl/lib/libcurl.4.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/MacMiner1.3.app/Contents/Resources/bfgminer/bin/bfgminer Reason: Incompatible library version: bfgminer requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0
edit: nevermind, I renamed the program, that's why it's doing that. Hang on. ...is working, Mh/s fluctuates a lot though. Should be around 33o for the one Block Eruptor I'm running. Is between ~46-576.

Taking into account the skyrocketing difficulty increase, these things won't even break even after a year of continuous mining.
Why are we buying these again?
I asked the same question, ASICMINER claim to have sold 4,000 units, that's, right 4,000 x .3GH/s = 1,200GH/s I just laughed. That's 8,000BTC wasted, you realize how much hashing power you could get from Avalon or BFL for that money? Had you bought 20 x 66GH/s Avalon boxes for 75BTC each and set up a community farm, you would be hashing more than the entire network of Block Erupters, and saved yourself around 5,500BTC. I can't believe that so many people have been sucked in by what is clearly the ASIC ripoff of all time! That would be a valid argument if BFL was shipping on demand. To have a product in hand ASAP is appealing.

Okay, I retrieved v10.7 - 1.1.2 from my back ups, it runs my USB and GPU in terminal. I gotta go dude, ttyl.
edit: no it's not, I'm so confused...
The only reason I'm running on my mac is because my asus needs reformatted. Getting that done this weekend. ARG!!
Just updated the bfgminer to a version fresh from github, can you give that a shot please? I don't know what any of this means, but here's what it's showing on the screen at the moment. Notice there are a few error messages. I'm not sure if that matters: : {"error": [-3, "Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'", "Traceback: <class 'stratum.custom_exceptions.MethodNotFoundException'>: Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/posixbase.py:614:_doReadOrWrite\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:215:doRead\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:221:_dataReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:181:dataReceived\n--- <exception caught here> ---\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:226:lineReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:13:_handle_event\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:75:call\n"], "id": "txlist615f", "result": null} [2013-06-08 16:47:38] Accepted 13691760 ICA 0 pool 0 Diff 13/3 [2013-06-08 16:47:58] Accepted 41c3421c ICA 0 pool 0 Diff 3/3 [2013-06-08 16:48:01] Stratum from pool 0 requested work update [2013-06-08 16:48:01] Unknown stratum msg: {"error": [-3, "Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'", "Traceback: <class 'stratum.custom_exceptions.MethodNotFoundException'>: Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/posixbase.py:614:_doReadOrWrite\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:215:doRead\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:221:_dataReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:181:dataReceived\n--- <exception caught here> ---\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:226:lineReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:13:_handle_event\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:75:call\n"], "id": "txlist6160", "result": null} [2013-06-08 16:48:31] Stratum from pool 0 requested work update [2013-06-08 16:48:31] Unknown stratum msg: {"error": [-3, "Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'", "Traceback: <class 'stratum.custom_exceptions.MethodNotFoundException'>: Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/posixbase.py:614:_doReadOrWrite\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:215:doRead\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:221:_dataReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:181:dataReceived\n--- <exception caught here> ---\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:226:lineReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:13:_handle_event\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:75:call\n"], "id": "txlist6161", "result": null} [2013-06-08 16:48:31] Accepted 22f01b33 ICA 0 pool 0 Diff 7/3 [2013-06-08 16:48:35] Accepted 3f8361ce ICA 0 pool 0 Diff 4/3 [2013-06-08 16:48:45] Accepted 0a39d28f ICA 0 pool 0 Diff 25/3 [2013-06-08 16:49:01] Stratum from pool 0 requested work update [2013-06-08 16:49:01] Unknown stratum msg: {"error": [-3, "Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'", "Traceback: <class 'stratum.custom_exceptions.MethodNotFoundException'>: Method 'get_transactions' not found for service 'mining'\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/posixbase.py:614:_doReadOrWrite\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:215:doRead\n/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Twisted-12.3.0-py2.6-freebsd-8.3-STABLE-amd64.egg/twisted/internet/tcp.py:221:_dataReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:181:dataReceived\n--- <exception caught here> ---\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/protocol.py:226:lineReceived\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:13:_handle_event\n/usr/home/denis/stratum-mining/stratum/services.py:75:call\n"], "id": "txlist6162", "result": null}
