Speaking of Slush, I really miss that dude's graphs and stats... But I will agree, DrHaribo is really on-the-ball with the way he is managing his pool and communicating with us.

 Kudos, Doctor.

There is very high packet loss right now (network issue). I'm looking into it.

Thanks for all the answers

I know my forum name is confusing. I began with an old GeForce card, but I have a friend who works with computers, and I have borrowed other cards from him. Currently, I am running one AMD Radeon HD 6700 series.

The driver is version 12.104.0.0, from the 13-4 installer. I have been switching drivers back and forth because I have been trying to mine on that card simultaneously with a 4850. No matter what I do, I couldn't get that to work, GUIMiner didn't start, it only got a tray icon that soon disappeared. With some drivers other programs crashed. As I said, I have spent at least six hours and twenty reboots on (not) getting it to work. I think I got all other drivers out before installing the one I just mentioned.

If the asics is not shipped out are you ready to give a refund at any time?   There might be a chance where asics might be held up again due to demand or market doesnt allow for it or a shortage in supply whatever.  IN that instance are you ready to refund?

I understand the process but their must be a better way. Many people join the forum when a pool problem occurs and feel the need to post within the pool's section but are unable to because of the 5 post restriction (4 hours is easy), but finding worthwhile posts to reply to are harder to come by.
Maybe a trial period in the pools forum only would be better, the moderators do hang out there as well.

That's impossible.  What you're getting is probably 1600 kilo hash which is only 1.6 mega hashes which is nothing. 

I'm shocked at how 90% of the people here can't tell the difference.  1,000 kilo hashes is just 1 mega hash.  The best ATI card at frys, the 7970 (they don't yet carry the 7990) only does 600-700 kilo hashes.  And when you run these cards together you lose efficiencies. 

Most people here are reprinting 1,000 fold higher hash rates with inferior,lesser cards than the ATI 7970.  What you guys are getting is kilo hash rates, which are 1,000 times less than mega hash rates so just divide what you think you're getting by 1,000 and that's your real hash rates.

Basically all the guys here saying they're getting 300m/hash are getting 300 kilo hash, which is like a new ATI 7850 video card which is a great card.  You double that down in a new $1700 rig and you lose efficiency and you'll get at most 500 kilo hash with a dual ATI card and a high end CPU and MB.  That's the rig I had and I took it back cause it was worthless. 

The days when you could mine bitcoin or even much lower difficulty coins like litecoin with a desktop are over.  You now need giga hash rates to get anything. 

If anyone has any cheaper and easier solutions please share.  I'm new to this and I've yet to be able to mine 1 full coin.  Thanks in advance.

is there any way to get an asics?
