Bought DMC - Devil May Cry and Tomb Raider today. Received the Steam codes quickly for cheaper than the current $ price on Steam. I'll be keeping watch for more deals!

Great decision to switch the interface. Set my donation to 5% on the new site for now.

Blocks need 120 confirms before your balance updates. Give it some time.

Solved my problem. I am connected to my internet via ethernet, but also have usb wireless connected to the machine that the ethernet overrides. I get problems accessing certain sites such as youtube when on the campus ethernet and noticed that having both enabled tends to prevent it from happening. I guess this was causing a conflict for feathercoin.

Just want to say thanks for this program. Currently running at ~225 kH/s on my GTX 570 with -i 1 -l 30x7 and ~245 kH/s with interactive disabled. Card is OC'd to 900 on core clock and 1.05 V.

I'm on a University network, so port forwarding is out of the question. UPnP is enabled in the client and opening the port through the firewall has done nothing. Also, running as admin hasn't helped. As a point of reference, my litecoin-qt and bitcoin-qt work just fine.

I can't seem to get any active connections to the Feathercoin Network through feathercoin-qt. Any suggestions?

Test it out. Your cards will likely differ from the hashrate values listed for the cards. Download a miner, preferably one that supports both SHA256 and Scrypt, make two copies of it (one for BTC and one for LTC), configure a mining pool for each, then test out each one to see the real-world hashrates you get for BTC and LTC. Do the test for the 6970 bios as well. I personally would think that with the real-world values, you'll still make more from mining LTC than BTC. Just note that the prices of BTC and LTC, as well as the ratio between the two, are EXTREMELY volatile and swing dramatically each day (especially for BTC). Just this month alone, BTC has adjusted from over $250 per coin down to $100, then down briefly to the $60-$70 range, and has ended up back up in the $90 range today. LTC was at $4.50 and is now down to $2. In truth, it is very worthwhile exploiting the volatility of the market while mining away the most profitable currency.

Since Zealot seems to be concerned with profit, here's a personal example in favor of mining LTC over BTC right now using the calculator quoted above assuming no cost for electricity and no fees:

GTX 570
BTC:
Hashrate: ~140 MH/s
Coin Per Day: .008 BTC
Profit @ Current Price per day: $0.726

LTC:
Hashrate: 220 kH/s (0.220 MH/s)
Coin Per Day: .613012 LTC
Profit @ Current Price per day: $1.554

As you can see, mining LTC with a GPU is more profitable than BTC (right now at current market prices)

Dollar-for-dollar, the AMD cards still offer a more than 2:1 advantage over NVIDIA despite the increased gains via cudaMiner. Thus why I only suggest using them if you already happen to have them and not go out to buy one specifically for mining. That said, though, cudaMiner gives me hope that perhaps that performance gap can close more.

If you already own the cards, sure thing. Use cudaMiner posted on this forum to mine with much faster rates. You'll get at least 300 kH/s from the two of them together.

If buying cards, go for ATI/AMD over NVIDIA for mining.

I wouldn't mine BTC in the case of only having access to a video card / cpu for mining. If you really want to mine, though, there are other currencies such as Litecoin (LTC) that offer more fulfilling mining opportunities for the average person.

Hi, I'm Joshua and I'm currently mining LTC on my GTX 570 using cudaMiner. I've just gotten back into mining after spending over a year and a half away from the scene. I'm also trading BTC on mtgox seeing how much I can make over time from a starting investment of an old 0.2666 BTC I mined way back in summer 2011. I've nearly doubled that in under a week's time.
