I just got paid it seems - but I can't check since cryptonit.net is down :/
You shouldnt trust cryptonit as a withdrawal destination.. use the client wallet on your computer. Cryptonit is very vulnerable to traffic and attacks and dont use correct recordkeeping services. In and out if at all... i would use vircurex +1 ... I am being paid once per day, always at the same time, to my wallet. I'm not worried about using exchanges just yet... |

can me help someone with the configuration of cgminer settings for a ATI 6970 cgminer -o http://fc.ltcoin.net:6666 -O username -p x i guess its working but i get always rejected from the pool. You are missing a couple parameters (bolded below)... Heres some some hints .If you are getting rejected shares, reduce intensity.. If your hashrate is reported consistently lower on the pool than your miner, it pays to check for hardware errors,if you are getting them, stop the miner and delete the bin file, restart.. Otherwise check you have created the worker and are using the correct worker name, not your account username eg, cgminer.exe -o http://fc.ltcoin.net:6666 -u WORKERNAME.1 -p PASSWORD --scrypt |

200+ Coins paid out, During the 502 "bad gateway", but I thought I'd catch a nap.
This seems to be a bit of a repeat of the 29th of April. I don't think the pool operator is a scammer.. Lets face it the pool has been around for a little while now, and it pays good...
I do think that there is a problem with communication, I've only been mining altcoins for a year, but these things happen.. It's amazing what a quick " We do have a problem, we are working hard on it, you won't lose your coins and your shares are being counted, so don't panic" from the admin can do...

Yep, I went back to LTC mining until this gets fixed. I would recommend everyone else do the same. If enough people stop mining they will have to fix it. If they don't fix it then you're just mining for a thief.
or change pools until it is fixed. At which point in time you can go back if you wish. Well It accepted my address, but theres no manual payout, and so far no auto payout.. It's probably just a glitch, but my rigs are elsewhere until theres coins in my wallet.. As Fiddy points out "It ain't easy to make money, so now everybody want to take money... No, but he's hemmoraging miners.. Thats a message.. |

Yeap, I've got no payment address and when I try to change address, I get "wallet isn't right". The good news is the coins are still there, the bad news is when you see something like that with no response from the admin its time to point your hashpower elsewhere  |

Well, obviously Bitinnovate is well aware of the need for speed, I was contacted by support and the problem was a mistyped BSB number. It's the first time support anywhere replied to me within 15 minutes of contact. I expect that the funds will be availible tomorrow. I'm glad I used their service, god knows how difficult it would have been to sort out via a stressed by demand major exchange.  |

I used this service to sell BTC on the 02/04/13 and although I was told I would recieve the funds "within two business days". Its 04/04/13 with 15 minutes til the end of business hours and I'm chasing my money. I'll let the community know how it works out. There has been very heavy volume at MTGOX with complaints about lag (At least in the BTC-E Chat, where I happened to be lurking), but it raises some interesting questions about BTC. For example, while one of BTC's advantages is the decentralistion of trust, (you can't trust the banks, but you can trust the network) I and, I note, many others do not trust services within the bitcoin economy due to the hacks and scams it has been plagued with.
To be fair to Bitinnovate, It is probably due to circumstances beyond their control, but the only advantage they can offer over selling directly on MTGOX is speed (as yet undetermined) and simplicity of service (which is excellent)

During the last two weeks : Network hashrate has increased from 400 to 1,800 Gh LTC has gone from 0.06 to 0.4 USD LTC has gone from 0.004 to 0.01 BTC. These are the facts ladies and gentlemen and you can speculate how you wish about them. I noticed that for a while LTC stayed relatively constant against BTC and concluded that the rally with BTC was dragging up the value of LTC. LTC was riding the coattails of BTC. Now I note LTC appears to be rallying independantly of BTC. I suspect that, with all the publicity lately surrounding BTC, miners who have a choice between retiring their rigs or mining LTC choosing the later and investors who wished they had speculated on BTC finding out about LTC, this will continue. No doubt the LTC economy needs to grow, but this growth would have to be a natural progression resulting from an increased number of people involved in that economy. I believe that is what we are seeing now. Yes, LTC is underdeveloped compared to BTC, however when one considers it's youth, and that it's progression is eased by increasing interest in, and acceptance of BTC, I would say it's not time to write it off just yet. |

Close to 1.5 million shares submitted over 6 hours without yielding a block, something looks amiss..
7 Hours 17 minutes now.. and I'm paying 23c per Kwh..  |

Helluva day today....
Over here in Australia power prices are phonemenal.. Even the prime minster is has made lowering them a priority in an effort to grab votes.. but I'm American, not colonial pussy so I got me 30 thousand litres of waste vegetable oil, scavenged parts, and a cheap chinese rip off of a honda diesel generator.... The Wasteproduct Engery Recyling Process (Version 1.0) or as I call it T.W.E.R.P. went online yesterday and I was able to mine litecoins with all surviving rigs for free at a whopping 2 G/h (We had a few casualities during the bitcoin phase)
Unfortunately this was also during a DDos attack, but what the hey, staying online cost me nothing.. had to abandon Ozcoin, just couldn't connect... Tryed Burnsides pool and stayed up even though at one point the stats reported I was the only member of the pool.
Then it all seemed good... Low network , High Hashrate, Profits starting to trickle through and the mother of all storms cuts my satellite comms.... bugger... was gonna shut it down but we just came good.. and we still have 29,970 liters of crap to burn.. might as well stick it out...
No there is no point to my post.. Other than some of us are at the ass end of the earth with nothing better to do than mine till we drop and are a bit weir.
Props to Burnside though... His pool withstood the script kiddy shenanigans better than the other pools......

Very happy. Board arrived yesterday well packed in excellent condition, original box, manual, drivers, all the original accessories, and extra hardware to mount in a case, CPU already installed.. It only has one card at the moment, but it's been hashing away all night. I just wish the rest of the gear I've bought arrived as quickly.. Pleasure doing business with you |

Consider it sold... I'll PM you

I'm not worried about destroyed bitcoins, but I'm deeply disturbed that some psycho is hacking into peoples fridges and screwing with their pies.. Thanks for the warning..  Some weirdo trys to play with my pies he better be indigestable by my bull mastiff and wearing kevlar or he's FUBAR..  I can understand messing with a man's bitcoins, but it's a sick world when his dessert isn't safe.. Just saying, that ain't right.... That ain't right at all... |

Had a motherboard fail on me today and I have been hunting around for a replacement.
I saw the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 mentioned on Tom's Hardware and thought I would ask here to see if anyone had tried it for mining.
It has Expansion 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 (x16, x8) and 3 x PCI Express x1 so potential of running 5 GPUs.
Thanks!
It took me a long time time figure out how to get Ubuntu to boot from a USB on a gigabyte board but when I did I posted it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=90858.0Not sure the first format is neccesary, and I think the need to go into the boot menu every time you boot up with the stick is what trips people up. Right, what I understand from your link is that even after all that messing about, the Gigabyte board in question will still not boot from a Linux USB stick without "user-intervention". Lets be clear -- even if you have the Bios set to "Re-Start on reconnection of AC power" it will not Boot by itself when AC power come back on. Somebody has to be there to play with the Bios to the damn thing to Boot up into Linux!! I am just checking the Calender I believe it is the year 2012 Another interesting quirk from the Gigabyte boys in Taipei is the latest F8 Bios for the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 (see this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88672.0 if you fancy plugging USB Windows Boot sticks with ATIFlash on them into that one). With all the well documented issues, why would a Noob want to deal with one of these Gigabyte boards when there so many other reliable options?? The board that I have, a GA-MA78GM-US2H, is sold and waiting to upgrade a computer.. Two Asus F1A55-M-LX-PLUS's are inbound.. I consider it most fortunate that I didn't buy Gigabyte for my first experimental rigs.. Still I wanted to make sure I knew how to do what needed to be done so those rigs would be online ASAP, and that meant dealing with the gigabyte board.. Of course when BFL pumps out ASICS GPU mining will be pretty much obsolete anyway. |

hello everyone!!! I'm new to the bit coin world but i just built a new computer and got an HD6990!!
i cant wait to start mining.
G'day TruSteve I'm new too..I'm waiting for parts to be delivered .... Wouldn't have ordered as many if I knew ASICS were rolling out... you might wanna read up on them... 40Gh/1299$US looks like we joined just before an evolution to dedicated hardware... Anyhoo catch you round the traps |

This sure is a lot of "thread" for commenting on the OP by an actor who was only on this forum for exactly one hour, not to be heard from again. Hell, Nikki the Bitch had a longer tenure tell theymos took her down and extended my vacation.
~Bruno~
I think they did the forum a favor. I'm no longer restricted to Newbies but it's the only place I have posted. Some of the topics are way over my head, but this one is a fine bit of nonsense that anybody can participate in.. Great ice-breaker... |

I am an IT specialist at a medium sized european insurance company. Not in the large datacenters or anything, just a smallish dependance. We're with only two people in my department and we work together so basically we can do with the computers at our disposal what we want. Including installing and running bitcoin miners  Good for you! You might think. Nice bitcoins for us, ready to spend or trade on an exchange or whatever and it doesn't cost us anything! Other than a few lost hours reading into bitcoin and then registering for a pool and setting up some miners. But. We're not in this for the money. The ideal is what matters to us, the idea behind bitcoin, the potential it has and what it could same day become. The problem is, we don't believe in that. We both feel bitcoin is an incredibly silly idea, a waste of resources (spare me the irony, we're aware of it) and a concept that is doomed to fail. So, we destroy every coin we mine. It's amazing how much effort it takes PC's to create a bitcoin yet how easily they can be destroyed. It litterally takes us no more than a minute every week. Delete the wallet.dat and create a fresh one and another 5 coins or so are gone forever Miner is running on 12 PC's at the moment, total hashing power close to 700 Mhash. Next week it's time roll it out on the other 40 machines. Of course you can join our quest and start deleting your wallets from today and help us get rid of bitcoin. Coin by coin by coin by coin! Whoa a whole 700Mhash.. over twelve boxes.. OMG! the hashing power of a 5970.. which would produce 2.8, not 5 BTC a week... looks like we have an "IT specialist" who doesn't know what a VLIW instruction set is.. or basic math.. Kid, it's going to take you about 144000 years to destroy bitcoin .. If everything stays exactly as it is now..In that time you might finish puberty, move from mommy's basement and get laid.. maybe the same sex and a different species but laid nonetheless.. .. buy a cardboard box under a bridge.. squeeze of a few little trolls. Bring 'em up to hate all that is bitcoin .. and die knowing that the dreaded bitcoin is still rolling round in cyberspace... Seriously dude, Thanks for the laugh.. Its been a long day and I needed it....  |

What is your reaction to the concept that it may be possible by this October to have 40 Gh/s for $1300? Do you a) doubt this is true, b) already have orders placed with BFL, c) plan to wait and see, d) plan to sell your farm soon, e) something else?
I'm not trying to be obnoxious here by asking this - just wondering what your thoughts are as someone who has recently built a large farm.
Hadn't even heard of bitcoins 3 days ago. Now I'm feeling rather defeated. Haven't even finished rebuilding the rig I was planning to mine with... Really wonder if I'll have enough BTC by end of the year to cash out and get BFL's or other FPGA board to tweak rig with. I felt the same but there's another way to look at it .. How would you feel if you invested thousands into a GPU/FPGA mining rig? Wouldn't you say "Damn, if only I built a small test rig to get a feel for it and waited for the ASICS to roll out, now I'm thousands in the hole with a few months to recoup those costs ". I spent 993$ AUD on two computers and Win 7.. I have sold parts I'm replacing for 300$.. I'm short one monitor and one keyboard. By November I should recover 320$.. If the ASICS start rolling out then, Thats not a bad loss and remember you need a computer to hook an ASIC to.. I'll have two at a cost of 353$ + monitor and keyboard. The people who have preordered ASICS will make a profit.. But they are assuming some risk.. ButterflyLabs will probably bring out ASICS but they were smart enough to include a provision in their terms that there may be an extra 60 days before delivery.. so the time frame may be into January 2013, after the reduction to 25BTC per block. They will no doubtably make a fair bit of coin at the beginning, but those huge preorders will all be delivered pretty much at the same time.. So the wonderous profit to be had by ASICS won't be long as they all come online in a short space of time. And of course there is always the possibilty of technical glitchs (Though BFL has an excellent history) You and I are in a position where we have little capital investment to recover, the ability to invest capital (Not that I've got any) in the next generation of hardware now , or to raise capital in preparation of investing in the next generation of hardware AFTER it has proven itself and the mining environment has stablised.. I'm taking the last option, it doesn't give me maximum profit, but it does give minimal risk.. and when all is said and done I've got two gaming boxes at 33% retail price (except for a monitor) and if it's time to quit trying to set up mining, I had a lot of stimulating fun messing about with bitcoin. |
