anyone?
Run poclbm in your CMD window, and if your CPU shows up as an OpenCL device, just use the device number of it. |

The upside to deepbit dying is that the chain isn't so heavily dominated by one pool anymore. The more smaller pools there are the better.
I dont think it will die, just like how Slush's pool didnt die when it went down Just get smaller. |

What about the fact that you must pay USD for electricity? This forever ties bitcoin to the dollar and makes the dollar the base of bitcoins.
Only if you pay USD for your electricity |

If you leave it for a while does it even out?

I did some posts on this situation in my thread and in IRC channels.
So whats the scoop? |

I am happily mining @ Bitcoins.lc  If this leads to difficulty decrees, then AWESOME! |

I think a GUI would go a long way with a lot of windows people  I don't think making all cards work in tandem is a very good idea because it probably only would result in more trouble than it's worth, much like crossfire/sli did in the beginning when both cards were working on the same frame... It's quite a different senario yes but i still doubt it would be faster :3 Agreed, a GUI would be nice.. I wonder if I could throw one on. I know that there is a python based miner with a GUI out there.. haven't tried it though. I wonder if I could handle the data differently than a crossfire/sli would... certainly at a higher level and simply divide the work chunks (what a gpu mines at a time) between the cards. Potentially the overhead would be much less than fully integrating the cards together. Unfortunately I don't have multiple GPUs, so im a little handycap writing this sort of code. I think I may try it, as an option, but I think the default will simply give each card their own work. What are you writing in? What platform are you targeting?
I'm writing a Java based miner. Target platforms are Linux and Windows... Ive heard Mac/OSX doesn't support opencl very well, but I guess it's a target as well. I use basically the same opencl kernel that poclbm, phoenix and Diablo use. Realistically, the only thing that really matters is speed. Personally, I'd love to see a good fast miner written in C/C++ but that's just because I could hack on it. Python makes my brain cramp.
Python makes my brain hurt too ;-) Glad to see some responses to my post.. thought no one was interested ;-) I'm planning on posting my code on github.. you guys interested in beta testing? I would love to see a C/C++ miner published! If you need a beta tester, I can be one. |

Well, you still get a prize even if you get last place in the race, albet a small one  But it is still only worth it if your time is worth so little to you that you use it setting up mining Still, I agree, it is much easier to simply buy bitcoins, and let the value grow. |

I am new to Bitmining and I am running a NVIDIA 8600 GTS card and im getting about 7.6Mhashes using local mining.
Now the question i have is when i am running guiminer I notice that the difficulty level is always 1. Do i set the difficulty? is there a way to set it? Is this the current correct difficulty level?
I have noticed looking at the mining calculators and such out there that at this difficulty i should be rakeing in the Bitcoins, but many other places I have seen shows that the difficulty is much higher?
What gives?
Obviuosly i thought i had a decent video card untill i saw a list of how many more Mhashes/sec other cards get.
I hope you can help me answer any of these questions and all tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

If you want to mine any coins without actually mining a block, look into "mining pools", such as http://www.bitcoins.lcYou can get fractions of BTC instead of mining an entire 50 BTC block. |

Was anyone able to recompile the program under Windows? I would try to modify some things (to thinker a little), but I don't have a linux box with a good graphical adaptor... I tried a little under Win but there are too many dependancies that need compiling, and I don't want to begin installing VS2008 just to recompile the pyopencl.
I was; you only need python and the dependencies. I had MSVC8 already, so that helped a great deal. |

Hello, I have been mining for ~12 hours now, and nothing is in my account balance.
This may be because I did not have a wallet address in my account when the block was finished, I was just able to put one in this morning.
Is this some sort of a problem with the block not being confirmed, or were my coins lost in the system?
Thanks!
Your account balance on Bitcoins.lc will update when: - The pool has solved a block, where you have contributed shares/work.
- The solved block is confirmed by the Bitcoin Network and is available for payout.
In other words; you will need to try things out longer and be patient - if you want to receive a payout. There is no 'estimated balance' based on how many shares you currently have submitted on the current block the pool is working on. It's been suggested as a feature though - since a lot of people don't seem to understand how things work. I have been mining long enough on your server to contribute shares to solve a block; however it seems that I still need to wait for the blocks to be confirmed. Thanks for the quick reply! |

ok, I got it working. does anyone know how I can tell who is connected to my pool?
Wait, are you trying to create a mining pool, or have clients connect to your bitcoin server? Because as far as I know, they are two different things. A bitcoin pool gives out "shares" of 1 difficulty each. A bitcoin server just doles out work at the current difficulty. I think you need some sort of external proxy for the clients to connect to if you want to see who is connecting to your bitcoin server. I dont know of such a program. |

A more interesting question is: "What is your hashrate, and how old are you?"
1.1GH/s, 16  |

The designs are not /bad/
But they are not good really either.
I do some freelance webdesign; and these honestly look like they were thrown together in DreamWeaver CS3 in a few minuets...

Hey guys, I saw a thread of a guy selling testnet coins for BTC, and I have some testnet coins from a long time ago
Selling each for .0001 of a bitcoin!
PM me if interested in a large quantity, Ill see what I can do.
Testnet is very useful for testing your own BTC apps without risking your real coin. So, I'm offering a good amount to whoever wants some @ a nice price.
Thanks for looking!
