I suggest patience. It takes a while for all these gnomes to hop on the cable and carry your coins to your wallet. I didn't have any problems so far.

It isn't worth it. Even if NV gpus were as efficient as AMD cards in BTC mining, an onboard card wouldn't provide anywere near the MH/s that a cheapo 5XXX/6XXX dedicated card would provide. Though i guess the new lano AMD would be okeish, since they have a good number of radeon "cores" in the chip.

4 of these boards = 720$ (the board costs alone), lets say that they can output the same MH/s as a dedicated 430 (20-30) best case scenario, that would be ~120MH/s. With 720$ you can buy a complete amd system with 3 5830 which would output ~750MH/s and have spare change for fish 'n' chips.

Even if the 5830x3 system consumes 10x more energy, they would produce more than enough BTC/time to make up for it (unless BTC prices really crashes).

The watt difference is miniscule (price-wise) compared to the benefit of the added MH/s. Yes you will burn 72 kWh/month more worst case scenario, but 5830 will also "mine" 30% more BTC than the 5770 which very well makes up for the added cost of both the initial purchase and the electricity bill.

Also, if you are planning on expanding on your mining operations with a second/third/n-th mining rig, it makes sense to put as powerful a card as you can, in order to save motherboard space. And in the long term, that will save you power (less machines to output same MH/s)

5  Other / Beginners & Help / Bitcoin 0.3.23 BETA - doesn't feel stable on: June 17, 2011, 05:56:43 AM
I've noticed that Bitcoin 0.3.23 BETA doesn't look/feel very stable on both my machines (win7 32 & win7 64bit). On the 32bit windows version the situation is better, but on my win64bit system, it takes about 15secs to load and feels like its going to crash. Also changing tabs between sent/received takes some amount of time, which is not really justifiable based on the amount of info/complexity of the program & the well above average computer specs.

I know it is still in Beta, but still...am i having a problem, or is the situation the same for you people as well?

0,1077 euro per kWh, on the max scale. It's not terrible, but i hear price rises are on the way, which makes me a sad panda. At least my mining rig is pretty energy efficient.

Hi there!

Newbie here, started yesterday - though i knew about the concept a while now. Thanks to the community for all their work.
