Yes they are, a pps/pplns pool awards btc for work done.

In fact the whole bitcoin concept is built on rewards for work done.

Unlike fiat currency which can just be printed/minted at will.

Anyone tell me if i can change guiscrypt miner settings to take advantage of the 2gb memory?

Right now, i can't get it to hash any faster than my 1gb 5870.

Both cards hash at 418 Kh/s stable and stales less than 0.1%.

Both set at:

900mhz gpu clock
1250mhz memory clock
8000 thread con
18 intensity
256 worksize
1 gpu thread

using:
guiminer scrypt
6gb ram
athlon II X4 cpu

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a HIS 2gb HD 5870 eyeinfinity.

Any tips on different settings than a 1gb HD 5870, mining litecoin?

Can you sell services via ebay/paypal?

Where the only thing sold is work done?

Aren't bitcoins evidence of work done?

I hear that cryptocoins aren't officially currency, just 'financial instruments'.

Also, doesn't ebay have a 'coins' section where currency is bought and sold, via Paypal.

wemineltc.com - Litecoin pool i use.

gui scrypt miner - is the software i use to mine

litecoin qt - the blockchain software you need.

You guys are worse than chess players 

A necessary evil, but like me, i bet plenty of people only initially signed up here to finally contribute to a thread.

Getting put in quarantine, then becomes frustating.

With all the cryptocoins being sold on ebay, paid via Paypal, i'd have thought that they would seem to have accepted its trade.

thanks for the caution.

I had a similar experience of being cheated by Eclipse Mining (EMC) when mining Btc.

only 1 +ve reply?

Was this a scam?

I got back into mining in March 2013 - after a 9 month break - just as my last pool folded - mtred.

It was brilliant, I never had any complaints.

Unfortunately, looking for another PPS pool, I settled on Eclipse Mining (EMC) - run by Inaba.

I never knew anything about him or BF Labs before.

From the start, large blocks of my shares would randomly disappear and I wouldnt get paid for them. No reply from the admin (Inaba) and noobs trolling on their forum telling me it must be my fault 'just because' (no logical reasons given) and also saying that the safest place to keep your btc is at your EMC wallet - eg. only idiots use offline/backed-up wallets, etc.

A quick search of the forum showed other posts from users who'd lost shares. The best reply they got was Inaba saying that it must be their fault (not EMC'S), that he wasn't even going to bother checking if the fault was EMC'S and saying that the shares had gone 'poof'.

He tried this scam with me, (he'd finally replied after I posted that EMC was a scam) until I told him that I may be new to his pool but I am not new to mining.

His final reply was that I had an 'unusual' worker name and again the missing shares were my fault and that maybe changing my worker name would fix it! He also then went on to mock my worker name.
The crap that he spews is unreal. My worker name was the very unusual Silentflute.

Anyway, went to Slush's with no probs, then settled on 50BTC pool.

I thought scammers like EMC/Inaba wouldnt last long in this game but, beware everyone, wherever there is cake, the crap-sucking flies are all around trying steal a crumb.

Lesson learnt: don't believe a word Inaba/EMC says.
