Okay, so there actually isn't any title on the second box that pops up.  Here's what I woke up to this morning:

I get the same. I tried release 3 and 4 on different machines with different cards. This miner simply doesn't work. That's my experience anyway.

Oh ge thanks. -.- haha. That's why I need beta testers. I think I know where the problem is with the textboxes aswell. I'll release 4.1 in the morning ~10 hours.

Very interesting. Nowhere in my code does it ever popup with a blank box lol. If you click close, does another box popup with a number in it?

It's the first time I hear that it took so long.
Maybe you didn't have the transaction log downloaded yet.

Transaction log? It's called the blockchain.
Aww, don't be so mean to the fellow.

Anyways, transactions can take anywhere from 30seconds to 2 days.
Would greatly depend on how many connections you and your seller have.

I run on about an average of 25-50 connections.

Oh, sorry, I just read it again and it did sound a bit harsh. Not intended! Smiley

I've been running ufasoft on my work laptop for 6.5M/s over the last few days and I've mined a few hundred shares with it. Depending on which pool (eg deepbit with pay per share), you are guaranteed at least some pay. The way I see it is that any pay is better than no pay.

I think as a moderator of this board you should better inform the new posters, rather than just slamming them down with a simple answer.

You might get a few hundred shares, but I doubt that's anything near 0.05btc. And as far as getting them with a cpu goes, the difficulty is now going to go up in around ~9 hours. Then it will be twice as hard to make bitcoins.

I beta tested this, and i have to say, was very impressed! Could go alot further Cheesy

Hi,

The most efficient CPU miner if you are using an Intel CPU is ufasoft:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3486.0

For ease of use, I suggest you to get the latest version of GUI Miner here:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0

In GUI Miner, click on New -> ufasoft miner. Select your preferred pool and enter your username and passwords.

I suggest you to use the following flags for ufasoft miner:

-v -t 2 -g no

This specifies that you will use 2 threads (1 for each core), and forces no gpu usage.
You should now be getting significantly higher hash rates than using CPU/RPC miner. Although, using a CPU to mine is much more inefficient than using a GPU. I recommend getting a budget ATI card (5830/5850, which is hard to come by these days) to pull in 100x more hash rates than what you would be able to achieve.

If you found my tip useful, you could donate to the following address: 1EfUBS19MnWELQ8xKgqy1ic7A4DUzZonvg  Cheesy

Happy mining!

This won't help you get 0.05btc. Don't even bother trying.

I guess I don't understand what you mean by "daily deal".  Do you mean that you would be adjusting the price daily based on the daily MtGox price?

Rip off.

thanks

btw
truecrypt wouldn't help if your wallet was active

If your wallets active nothing can protect it.

Hello! I've started to mine since yesterday, and since I'm bound to relatively old hardware (my graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9600, which of course has no support for CUDA/OpenCL, but at least my processor is a dual-core Pentium 4 @3GHz), I've been trying to find the way to optimize the CPU to earn a few bit-cents. Right now I'm using the usual CPU/RPC Miner, and I've tried both with Deepbit's and Slush's mining pools. I could earn a relatively low quantity with Slush's due to a stroke of luck (around 0.0006 BTC), but no luck yet with Deepbit's. Which recommendations could you give me on:
  • Number of threads to use? (Currently I've tried with 1, 2, 4 and 16, but it seems that it works better with only 1)
  • Type of setup (default, 4-way, CryptoC++, VIA)?
  • Minepool to use? (It doesn't matter if I earn little as long as I earn something
I don't really need to earn lots of money, I just want to recover the 0.05 BTC I got from the Faucet after I foolishly deleted my wallet file and then perhaps some more.
(Just in case: Dear admins, if I have really double-posted this one, please delete one of the posts)

Your not going to earn 0.05btc with a CPU. Especially when the difficulty is going to go up in roughly ~10 hours.

I was wondering Is there anyway to encrypt my bitcoin wallet so that a virus didn't pick it up and use it with out my control?

Anyone know the answer to the diamond vs sapphire hash question?

They are the same card. However, the main differences between them are:

- Warranties
- Clock speeds (apply only for overclocked versions)
- Coolers

You can do some research and see which one has the best warranty and which one the cools the best.

Same card so likely same hash or close to same? I noticed the diamond is about 100 dollars cheaper and actually in stock

Same hashing speed when both at stock, but you can probably OC the sapphire ones better because of their better fan/cooler.

Currently, I have .2 BTC per day to sell at the 24 hour Mt. Gox average USD price

That's really not worth it... that's like $4.
735  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Mining Contract (.2 BTC per day) on: June 15, 2011, 04:40:12 AM
Hello all

I was responding to a 'buying mining contract' thread in the marketplace when I had the idea to sell a small scale BTC per day based contract. I have .2 BTC per day to sell at the current difficulty level. This is a daily contract, based on 24 hour Mt. Gox prices.

interest?

-minerops

What exactly are you selling?

Someone has to start a bitcoin insurance company first.  Have at it.

How would that possibly work?
737  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Predictions after tomorrow's difficulty increase? on: June 15, 2011, 04:04:32 AM
i am hoping it jumps back up to $30-40 each

At least.
738  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Beta 4 Released! BitMiner - Advanced Mining GUI on: June 15, 2011, 04:04:22 AM
Yes, I believe that was the title.  It was very clear that the first box was a generic windows exception box and the second blank one was from BitMiner.  I'll get it up and running again though just to double check for you.  And since my system seems to be one giving you some major issues, I'd be happy to beta test for you in the future.  Don't know how much time I can give you, but at least I could set it up a couple tims a day to run with various settings and see how things go.

*UPDATE*

Should have paid more attention before.  The first error is actually directly related to Microsoft .NET Framework (as the exception message box is titled as such).  Also, the summary of the error is "object reference not set to an instance of an object.", hope that can be of some assistance. 

Can you pastebin the JIT error?
739  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: Beta 4 Released! BitMiner - Advanced Mining GUI on: June 15, 2011, 03:22:49 AM
Gaaah. Ok. This is really why I need beta testers. I'll take a look at the code, is the title of the messagebox that pops up "ERROR!"?
740  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I make this RIG more cost/hash efficient? on: June 15, 2011, 02:03:32 AM
OK, you don't need a DVD drive, you don't need a case, you don't need a hdd (you can boot from usb), you only need 1gb ram, and you only need a sempron.

That should save you a bit.

Thanks, someone should make and sticky a thread as anyone interesting in maximizing mining profit will ask this question. Don't need a case, really? Where would I mount the fans then?

I'll do it later. You don't really NEED extra fans, unless you want to keep them really cool. The GPUs have fans already mounted, and the cpu heatsink should come with one.
