Oh! Fab thanks! I do actually plan to sell my litecoins for bitcoins as I don't have a good setup for bitcoin mining, but do have a fair few fast cpus around so litecoin mining seems interesting!

Another newbie question then:  

What is the BSD column for and why did I have a number in there but now it's gone?-solved read the rest of thread sorry!

I have about 400khs now and am getting 1% stales is that reasonable?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry about the newbie question, but what is "profitability" in top right corner of my account screen, and what does 0.99 in red signify?

Thanks!

GJ

Thanks casascius!

Glad to see it's not just my ocd on keeping records!

I'm really surprised you've replied! The real bitcoins you sell (with the code inside) are the reason I'm trying out mining. I fancy owning a real bitcoin in that form, and as you only accept bitcoins I thought I'd try and mine enough to buy one!

Doing well so far I have almost enough to buy the 1btc! (But still after more to pay shipping!)

Thanks again!

P.s. I'm not too proud to ask for donations! Please note they will be spent on the casascius real bitcoins

Hi all.

I'm looking to tidy up the mess i've made if my wallet since starting bitcoin - I was using the same public address for all my transactions but I now know better, I hope!

Can i create other addresses in bitcoinQT and send the correct amount to that?

My question is can I send bitcoins to myself in the same wallet? Will they arrive safely? (I basically want to have an address each for the 3 different services I have used and pay the correct amount of my total to each address, to keep track of where my money has come from.)

Apologies if this is a trivial/pointless/long/stupid post, just trying to learn!

Thanks!

Edit: title topic.

Hehe, no I didn't mean that! Lol I don't expect to get anything like that! I was just using 25 to simplify the maths! I am more interested in the long term lifespan of bitcoin and if the transaction fees are going to adequately compensate for the halfing of the reward every few years. I was hoping that I was reading the block chain.info graphs wrong in that the transaction fees were already as valuable as the reward, but given thats not true, I was trying to figure out what happens to them, and who is claiming them?(And to a lesser extent the value in chasing these!?)

But I have already learned a lot from this thread! Many thanks both!

Ahh, perfect, thanks!

I have tried only 2 pools that both pay a fixed pps, so assumed as thy didn't vary they weren't including the transaction fees. I will look into the two pools you named. Many thanks!

Second point regarding solo mining, if you manage to get enough hashing online to generate 25btc per day in a pool (just a thought experiment here I have access to only a limited resource) I could go solo and on average expect to find a block per day, and then I would automatically collect the transaction fees?

Thanks again!

Hi,

First newbie question, have looked around for a bit but couldn't find an up to date answer;

Given that the reward per block has now halfed to 25btc, and some graphs at blockchain.info seem to show quite good values for the transaction fees (although I may be reading the total fees per day and not per block) is it worth now solo mining to get the transaction fees as the pools don't seem to include any recognition of the transaction fees?

Connected to this question, what value of hash rate does solo mining become valuable? (Given pools are reflecting the drop to 25btc per block, but not the increasing value of fees over time.)

Any insight, or clues as to how I could figure this out for myself would be fab! (Please don't say google it, I did try and that's how I ended up here!  )

V late? Still no harm in a newbie trying!

Hi, getting my free post for introducing myself  interested in using spare processor time for mining (I know I know its obsolete with gpu/fpga and asics coming soon). Got interested by accident when I saw someone using a bitcoin mining screen saver. Very clever. Since have earned .1 of a bitcoin for running it on my desktop when I walk away! (Yes before the screen sleeps to save power!)
