1  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Anybody else getting slaughtered by this latest difficulty? on: June 28, 2011, 03:24:25 PM
It was definitely on current difficulty 1379223, but, as already mentioned, could have been a display error due to the diff increase.

Nope. That's more likely just the ups and downs of luck.
If there's a block/hour ratio of (more or less) 6 that means people still run their rigs but do not add new hardware (which had already been unfeasible before the last difficulty change).

So IMHO everybody is still on board (more or less) but right now it's not attractive to invest in new hardware. Should the price rise again we will see another rise in difficulty because more people will buy new hardware (new and old miners alike).

Yup, but the block/hour ratio was nearly 8 few days ago.. haven't known that luck could have such a big impact at such high hashing rates.

Total hashrate is nearly below 10Thashes - down from like ~12. Seems some people don't like the new difficulty.
Or was it a display bug?

Explain to me the mechanism behind difficulty having an effect on price. Because I cannot come up with any explanation for it since the same amount of BTC are produced regardless of difficulty. The supply is completely independent of the expense of mining. Just because it's more expensive to mine now doesn't mean that you can get more $ for BTC...

Agreed, some people can't see this because they have spent money on hardware and they are trying to convince them self's they haven't made a mistake, So at the end of the day it wont matter what you tell these people because they will always make up excuses to why mining effects prices to get them self's through the tough times... But you have it 100% correct and that's the harsh truth....

But if the same amount of daily BTC will be spread on a higher amount of mining people.. every single miner should think that their BTC worth more $ per BTC - so they won't sell, thus won't supply the market with new BTC?
Though I don't know if the impact of stockpiling new BTC is big enough on the market to influence the price.
(Sorry if that thought was already discussed, haven't read the whole topic.)

Btw.: Network total   10.001 Thash/s
        Blocks/hour      6.08 / 592 s

I got an "update" on my claim after 2 days, saying that I didn't provide enough proof and my account cannot be reclaimed. Even though I provided info on my what I remember to be my last balance, IP, *and* bank account I withdraw my funds to. How is that insufficient proof?

Thats strange.. got a positive reclaim status - listed last balance and last transaction status out of my btc client as proof only. Got a pretty good password either.. maybe that is why.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: MtGox claim site online on: June 23, 2011, 05:41:11 PM
I filed the claim over 24 hrs ago.  Should I have received an email by now?  Has anyone got confirmation that their claim was completed?

Me neither - think IF something is wrong, you'll get one, if not you're able to log in tomorrow.

1.71. Really added POCLBM parsing this time. Didn't know it had different output from Luke-Jr's (and the one with phatk) version.

Works for me now, thanks Smiley
Except "Stale rate unsupported" .. where the rejected hashes should be listed.
Besides that, got even more hashes than before (which are shown in kilohashes now).

Update:
I tried fpgaminer's version, this one runs even smoother - with supported stale rate.
I see my yesterdays mistake..
-> 15 mhashes boost! Will try it on my mining-rig now.

Update 2: no stales yet, pretty awesome. GPU detection + heat monitor works properly, good work!
12  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: AOCLBF (was Phoenix Rising): Front End GUI to Phoenix/POCLBM on: June 21, 2011, 10:33:02 PM
Hm, check the log file or try a fresh copy of it?

Attempt Nr.2:

Downloaded poclbm here -> http://github.com/downloads/m0mchil/poclbm/poclbm_py2exe_20110428.7z
Downloaded aoclbf 1.7

Put aoclbf files in poclbm dir.
Run aoclbf 1.7.exe
1 client, login, server settings - nothing else.
Choose GPU0 worksize 128 (testing with 5770)

--> Run



Sad

Getting problems, won't run poclbm. Won't start any miner - strange.
Just downloaded 1.7c, put poclbm files in same directory and run aoclbf 1.7c.exe.
Text fields as usual.. but when I hit "Start" nothing happens, neither with or without flags. GUIminer poclbm runs without problems..

Maybe I'm just to tired at the moment, but am I doing anything wrong?


Update:
Oh, well, now i got this : Error: Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
Even if i delete the *.ini, either it does nothing or it crashes.

Hey,

just wanted to say that you can claim your MtGox account back:

https://claim.mtgox.com/

Seems that the MtGox staff will check every single account, oh boy.

Hi! I checked this thread : http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.new#new
It seems it is very stable and there is no loss in performance. Maybe you can integrate? How I really wish I have some coding skills.  Grin

Second that, would be awesome!
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is BTC getting bad press? on: June 20, 2011, 06:31:58 PM
The bitcoin network could benefit from that whats happening to mtgox.. Other markets get their chances to establish themselves. It's just one market with problems, i cant see why people lose faith in bitcoin at all.

Since i'm using 1.62 i got bluscreens at some point - if the pool connection doesn't work for instance. The miners try to restart until it bluescreens (every 4 seconds, 3 miners)
I suspect my undervolted CPU to be the reason, needs testing though.

Noob question: how can I display some sort of console to know whats going on? Think its a stupid question, but i have no idea how to initiate one with PR, since I've no actual experience with Phoenix.

Besides, excellent work lvlrdka22 Smiley

Maybe the transaction fee is higher than your actual amount of BTC.
As the serious worm said, your GPU isn't exactly the best choice - 0.00027 BTCs are 0.00459 $ atm.
