Please, please switch to score-based. I want to see how good your interface is for myself before I decide whether to go here, but I won't even consider moving to a pool that isn't score-based.
The key thing to remember about why share-based is bad is that "shares" are actually worthless. Think about solo mining. If you mine for 10 minutes solo and then stop, you get nothing. You probably came across some "shares" while solo mining, but they aren't worth anything. The only thing that's really worth anything is a winning block. Shares only exist to tell a pool server that you're still mining in a way that can't be forged.
You want the shares of people no longer hashing for your pool to decay quickly. Because they aren't helping you find a hash anymore.
Well, join a score based pool  |

Whoops, sorry guys, i'll power down my 2.5 Mhash Asus Eee monster, should fix your connection problems :p

I've read that at some point transaction fees will overtake mining for new blocks in profitability at some point in the future, and i have a few questions  How will you notice you've gotten a fee (transactions are happening, fees are already being paid) How will pools handle them? (i see no mention of them, only confirmed blocks) I've searched a little, but nothing comes up, it's all about new blocks :-/ |

Update: Got it running I downloaded and installed the "Developer Drivers" and "Cuda Toolkit" from this link: http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-32-downloads#Windows And i'm getting 2.1 Mhash from the cuda cores. Not sure you need to install the toolkit though. Running both CPU+GPU in guiminer gets me 2.7 Mhash on avarage. Will post further updates if i find some tweaked settings or better drivers. If you found any of my ramblings useful, consider a donation 1Ct93gST8QSumw6XAamDxBE1AM6FRAhpuJ |

Update:
Installed the latest nVidia drivers for the ion chipset - still "connecting" - Weird thing i noticed is that the CPU drops from almost 900 khash, to 700 when i start the cuda miner 0.o - which isn't getting any work.
Do i need to install any cuda software to get it going? SDK? Toolkit?

Here's a list of gpus: http://golubev.com/gpuest.htmI was myself thinking about getting some old ps3's and mining with some preconfigured linux live cd's - Should be able to find some ps3's with dead gpu's but the cells working - the whole other-os thing makes it tricky though. |

Same here, until it suddenly said "connection problems" after i did a start/stop, and then it started giving me figures for the CPU - i still have the problem with the cuda worker on the same computer :-/ - Was starting to think it might be the gpu it failed to connect with or something.
Makes me miss the RC5 challenge

I started mining for coins yesterday, and i already joined a pool - Took some time to get working, but i'm crunching away ^^
My primary computer overheats when hashing, so the client (giuminer) isn't running atm - only did some 750 khash on my XP3000+ anyways :-/
I have an Asus Eee 1012 which i use for media center, and i already have the CPU up and running, but when i try and use the cuda client in guiminer, it just keeps on saying "connecting..." - it did the same with the cpu for a few hours, and then suddenly started working, but still not crunching on the GPU, and the cpu (dual atom 1.6) also only delivers around 750 khash
my guess is that i need to download the cuda sdk, and after a quick search, i give up on finding out what to download and install 0.o So i thought i'd ask you guys for help
If anyone is running it on an eee/ion i'm curious about figures as well (16 1.1 cores @ 450 Mhz)
I'm running win7 32bit btw, with only BitCoin and GUIminer installed.
