All existing accounts should work.. i didnt loose anything besides about the last 24hrs of the database (due to backup schedule and the end of the servers life..). So if you have registered shortly before the server went down chances are high that your account is gone..
That would probably be me... Any chance of recovering BTC? |

So far the number of requests / systems has been 3 for 'The Needy', and yours, 'That One.'  You forgot about me...  I didn't  2 'The Needy' 2 'That One.' misplaced you Ah, much better. |

Basic "Gameplay" is back online.
Exchange is currently being rewritten and will move from the game into the portal page.. as well as some more stuff tomorrow.
Are existing accounts still working? I cannot log in; reset my password to no avail. I enter credentials and I just get sent back to the main page. |

GPUs indeed have more resale value, though for you they would lose money. Honestly, I would recommend waiting at this point. FPGA mining may become viable for you in the future, but the ROI is pretty far out unless you build a DIY one, and without any prior experience I doubt you'd want to take that on.

Hello
The question is simple, can it pay to mine in Denmark (in a pool)?
Depends on the price of Bitcoin, the difficulty level, and the efficiency of your hardware. Right now, GPU mining is not going to be profitable for you, but FPGA mining would. Mining calculators like this one might be useful, though remember they're just estimates. |

Yup, needed CPU power for mining is minimal. (Just make sure to run Linux; I would suggest BAMT)

https://gpumax.com seems to be down, but my miners are still working. When this happens everything is okay? Thanks. hmmm, everything seems fine here. Fine on my end also. |

How long do fans last at 100%?
I don't run them at that level normally; I was just seeing how low I could get the temps. They run ~55C at 70% fan and ~60C at 50%. |

I run five 5870s on a 1250W, so power is certainly not your problem. 11.10 is very buggy with multiple GPUs, it didn't work on my system either. I would suggest installing 11.04 and Phoenix according to this guide. CheapAssJunk Brand 1200W power supply isn't the same as a top tier brand like a Seasonic 1200W. I'm not sure where you got the impression that the OP was using a off-brand PSU; he/she certainly never said as such. And even if that were the case, any functional 1200W PSU, even if the actual output was less, would be more than sufficient to run a system that likely draws close to 700W. |

 (full res @ http://ompldr.org/vY243eg/2012-02-05_13-10-55_578.jpg)  5x 5870 @ 950/300 running Phoenix 1.7.5 on BAMT (Debian 6). Motherboard is a GA-EP45-UD3P w/ PCIe extenders from Cablesaurus. PSU is a OCZ ZX1250W. Case is custom. ~435 MH/s each, ~2175 MH/s total. Cards run @ ~50C with ambient ~15C. |

Server and management console seem to be down. (No SSH, console gives "timed out error") Any info?
EDIT: Problem has been fixed. Response was quite speedy.

If you cannot trust it then there are plenty of other places to mine and with the amount of whining little bitches on this forum you would know by now if anything funny was going on they would be out in force..
If we were using our hashing power to be destructive... you would know by now.  Your references are impeccable; I checked that before I joined. Mostly, I'm simply curious. But to an extent I try to rely on trust as minimally as possible - that's the whole point of Bitcoin - a currency that doesn't require trust. I have no intention to leave GPUMAX, nor do I believe it remotely likely that the hashing power is being used for nefarious purposes, but that doesn't diminish my inquisitiveness. I'm simply asking for an explanation of what many seem to have figured out - not accusing you of anything. |

I certainly would like to learn, and I hope someone would be willing to help. Brooding on it for a while brought me naught but the above.
Who cares it is what it is we are getting paid for our hashing power as long as it is not used for malicious purposes I'm fine with it.. You may be; I'm curious, and I'd like to be my own judge of what are and are not malicious purposes. |

I am resurrecting this old post because I would like to understand this. It isn't the first time a question similar to @chungenhung's was brought up, but each time (as in @pirateat40's response above) the 'answer' was vague at best. I have read this entire thread, twice, and it still hasn't clicked with me. Perhaps I am naive; perhaps my mindset is in the wrong place.
My the basic question: why would someone buy shares at a rate greater than the current PPS rate? Why pay 1.2BTC for a service that returns 1.0BTC to the buyer? I can visualize some uses (testing a pool, for example), but I find it hard to believe this is what the bulk of the purchases are being used for. How does a buyer profit?
Obviously this is popular with the miners because they get paid more; I understand that. But how does it profit the buyers?
Would someone care to explain this with some concrete examples of what most people actually do with the purchased shares? Something more informative than 'I won't go into detail', or 'if you do not get it do not use the service'. Thanks in advance.
One of the possible reasons (though unlikely the one being discussed, I certainly wouldn't describe it as an epiphany) is pool start up. Especially for proportional pools, a pool looking to gain inroads in a crowded market needs a significant hashrate. Pool operators could buy at above PPS now to (theoretically) make money later. However, I do not think this is the reason being discussed, and I would appreciate an explanation. Free market, yes, but I think most of us here believe in information sharing. I certainly would like to learn, and I hope someone would be willing to help. Brooding on it for a while brought me naught but the above. |

My miners are no longer leasing shares. Did we finally get through the backed-up orders, or is pirate just asleep?

Your traceroute is the same as mine, except for one thing. For some reason, you're never getting to Inaba's actual server. On the line below 69.30.209.1, you should see 208.110.68.115; the actual server IP. Check any firewall/IP blacklister (eg PeerBlock) settings to make sure it isn't being blocked.

I see wireless lan on your screens, it's for a specific one you installed on your rig, or do you support wireless lan now?
If you have the ability, especially if you're on a mostly-Windows network, I would suggest installing DD-WRT on an old (or cheap) wireless router and using it as a wireless bridge. At least for me, that tends to be much more stable, and it's easier than dealing with Linux wireless driver headaches and/or emulated drivers that don't always work very well.

This is the unluckiest time ever  I love EclipseMC but, hate this days when luck leaves us... "Avg Luck: 29.57% (40% is median)"... BTCGuild is out of question... Anyway, I'm looking for a syable PPS 0% fee pool... Anyone knows a good one?! Please, PM me... Sorry Inaba... To ask this in your thread... GPUMAX, though it's invite only and requires renting out hash power, pays more than the current 0% PPS rate. ABCPool has a 4% rate, but they pay for stale shares and invalid blocks. I really liked EclipseMC, but the irregular payouts became a problem for me. I'd be glad to pay a fee for PPS, Inaba, so just know that if you implement that in the future you'll have one extra customer... |
