663  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: EU user, Help building rig from overclockers.co.uk on: June 07, 2011, 05:21:05 PM
I've hit a slight bug here.

Each graphics card need's 2 6 pin pci-e connectors while my pssu only has 4 (6+2)-pin PCI-E connectors.

I guess this means I need to find a PSU with 8 connectors if I want to run 4 cards off it ??

Sorry if this seems a stupid question
You can use splitters to make up for the pci-e connectors you are short of (the are only a few $'s each), or use molex adaptors.
Though be careful with the molex version as I've heard some horror stories of cables melting under load.

I'm a poor student who bought 50BTC some time ago, I don't want to sell yet and im just looking for a way to make more.
I'm sure you've done the maths on how much you could make by selling those 50btc at Today's price.
I would say, sell 25btc and buy yourself a decent gpu, join in on the fun  Smiley

Woah, what a load of wasted money.
Oh well, at least you will have a decent gaming rig in a few weeks  Cool
666  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: is 10meg line for internet more than enough? on: June 07, 2011, 03:30:26 PM

AJbitcoin, maybe it makes sense to try modern browser like Firefox or Chrome (or Safari, Opera etc.)
They draw graphs without any problems.

Microsoft's "modern" IE9 technologically is about a 1-2 years behind others.
And IE8 is even worse.
Why use it?

Because it's what happens to be on the machine, and the code is broken, not the browser.

That is the point of the post, not to draw out a bunch of pencilnecks from the peanut gallery.

As far as Chrome goes, Google can go fsck themselves.


Internet Explorer is a terrible browser.
You should stop using it right away.

Stick with Slush, its a good pool.
671  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (700Ghash/s) on: June 06, 2011, 07:48:38 PM
Earnings for block #5195 -66%?
No, it was a 33 second round, yes 33 seconds!
You didn't submit a large amount of shares in that short time so your earnings will be smaller.
672  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [gbyte.dk] Proportional on: June 06, 2011, 07:38:35 PM
No, I mean the transaction fees that are mined.

You gain 2 parts of money with a block:
(currently) 50 BTC out of nowhere and the transaction fees of transactions within that block (usually something around 0.1 BTC/block, sometimes more, sometimes less)

It is anticipated that in the future, once generation fees get lower and lower, transaction fees will be the main income of miners.
From what I know, we (the miners) share this transaction fee too. Kris does not benefit from this.
No, there is not a single pool currently in existence that passes these rewarded fees to miners, they are kept by the pool operator.
673  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Trying to calculate profitability - weird outcome on: June 05, 2011, 08:58:29 PM
do you mining-guys really expect a price increase of 20+% per 10 days?

20% would bring us to 450usd/btc in 6 months. 30% to 2000 usd/btc.
I personally don't think so no.
I think mining will be totally worthless for the average Joe within the next couple of months, there's a lot of big guys with deep wallets and cheap electric setting up shop and expanding at a crazy rate.

For me? Whatever man, as long as I can make my electric bill & cover some of the difference in depreciation value when Ebay becomes flooded with cheap ATI cards I'll be happy. It's been a fun experiment.

Windows is shit, acquire Linux, live happily ever after.  Cool
675  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Trying to calculate profitability - weird outcome on: June 05, 2011, 06:17:04 PM
Looks legit to me.

The question is... How much would you have made if you just bought Bitcoins instead of rig building?
See this spreadsheet, http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7531.0
676  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Trying to calculate profitability - weird outcome on: June 05, 2011, 05:32:20 PM
Your numbers look good, I just wish others would do the same as you have done.
Everyone is running around with blinkers on thinking they will become millionaires.

OP, I have respect for you  Cool
677  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Graphics cards, no monitor under windows.... on: June 05, 2011, 02:18:47 PM
Does this actually work? Like, you don't need dummy plugs with Windows anymore?  Shocked
678  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Doing the sums, what's a good way to model difficulty? on: June 04, 2011, 03:51:19 PM
+60% ever 10 days has been a rough figure to work by for a long time.
679  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Cooperative mining (700Ghash/s) on: June 03, 2011, 07:34:05 PM
I didn't notice a significant decrease of earnings on block 5081 although it was in general about 30% less than usual.

However, error messages have dropped from hundreds per hour to about 5 or less per hour. So slush is doing something right with server upgrades.
Yeah its much better, but the pool size is increasing so more shares = less payment, but that can also mean faster block finding. Although, remember there is still the luck factor.

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9038.0 is a good start.
Its good to play with shell scripts if you are not good with linux like me, after a few hours you get the hang of it  Cheesy
