Yeah uh I wasn't dead set on this working... Thats why I said it was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.  Thats also why I quoted stuff, because I was skeptical... I didn't say a thing about processing power, i just said it increased the speed of an "operation", which was a vague term...


And i didn't expect a 8000 percent increase in speed... that would be insane, i was just wondering if there was some kind of small effect on it.

So ive been mining bitcoins here and there recently, just doing whatever.  When i popped the 2gb jump drive i use for school in, the AutoPlay had an option called "Windows ReadyBoost" that was said to "speed up your system" .  I went and wiki'd the name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Readyboost) and in the article it mentions a 8000-10000 percent increase in the speed of an 'operation'.  So could this be used to increase the hashrate when generating? Because it just seems really too good to be true.

Thanks!

...

3.2MH/S !!!!

That's... magical!!

But yeah that makes sense because my cpu was running at around fifty three % and I have a dual core, so I assume that it is now using both.

So im guessing that changing it to -t 3 wont do anything spectacular right?

I got my first share!!!! yeeeeahhh!!!!! now only about 12 more until I have 0.01 to donate as an actual amount! hahahahahaaaa.

Hey I have another question... (Jeez i have a lot of these lol) are there any methods to increase mh/s? would a number of applications impact this number in any major way? and what part exactly of my computer is being used to actually do the hashes?

I could... actually understand that one
off to do this now!!!

Thanks neereus, if this goes as planned, i will be contributing to your robot fund!


EDIT: I think it did work!! The cmd prompt window is now displaying my mh/s which is about 3/2 faster than what it was on the normal client.  I'm not sure if it has any effect on my account at deepbit though... after about 5 min nothing has changed, no shares, no BTC, no mh/s, not even a percentage, is this normal? does this usually take longer to update?

Hey theGECK, since you mentioned using ufasoft's miner, could you explain to me how to edit the  .bat file for that specific program?

A good rule is to try and explain like you are talking to a 4 year old. I probably have the same knowledge of running programs as a 4 year old.

also, nice name (lol not sure why i didnt realize this till now).  Fallout FTW!

EDIT: Do you need to have the original bitcoin client running at the same time?

God I am bad at this... lol

So yeah I open the .exe and a command prompt pops up and dissapears instantly, and nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

Once again, thanks for the support.

Oh yeah hahaha I ment to say 1mh/s. And i guess my cpu was doing something else then because now its twice that, but im doing this mostly for the research aspect; the whole idea kinda blew my mind into millions of bits.


Does that work with a CPU? or are you saying that my card will work with that?

Thanks again all

Hey all,

I recently stumbled on bitcoin and found it to be really interesting. I tried mining with my cpu and well... 1kh/s would get me a block in an estimated 6 years, so that alone would be stupid. I then looked into using my GPU to mine, which i heard was really more efficient. I have been searching and i dont know how exactly to get my graphics card to do this work for me, so I was wondering if anybody could steer me in the right direction?

Just some info on the card/my comp: (Yeah i have a crappy laptop used mostly for school/diablo 2 =D)

Laptop w/ Win Vista
Mobile Intel
945 Express Chipset Family
GPU: i945GME
DirectX Support: 9.0

Yeah if you need any other info on my computer specs just say so, i dont really want to list EVERYthing lol.

Also, i would like to know how to use my GPU (CPU if it wont work) with a mining pool, most specifically deepbit.net . I already have an account there.

PS: If you help me out and I end up actually getting some BTC's, i will be sure to drop you a donation

Thanks!
