I feel your pain, I have an nvidia as well. I found that GUIMiner especially hates NVIDIA. I've tried diablo, bfg,rpc miner and guiminer. I find that for Nvidia BFGMiner and rpc CUDA Miner work almost the same, though bfg just feels more stable. I am running an nvidia 570 oc to 900 stock voltage runs about 150Mh/s to 175Mh/s.

RPC: https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=2444.0

Thanks! I'll defiantly look at them! Cheers!  Smiley

whats your CPU? maybe you can mine litecoin well

Intel Core 2 Duo. Old enough these days. Its next on my list, along with the motherboard, for an upgrade.

I heard AMD was better (after I bought the card), but I dint think it would be this bad!


Also, it just got worse! Take a look:



This keeps happening. I have to stop the program, and restart it for it to fix. Sometimes, just stopping the worker, and restarting it works, but not always.

New to bitcoin, and finally (after about a week) finished downloading all the block chains.

Would love to have something in my wallet! Plus, I want to see a transaction go through in it.

Anything is appreciated! (Broke student! Haha!)

I got a brand new graphics card for Christmas;

EVGa GeForce 660 Ti, 2GB DDR5 Memory, 192-bit memory width.

But I cant get above 90MH/s with it? Even overclocked, its sitting at 100MH/s. A friends GPU, that is 3 years old, is getting 200-400MH/s?

How do I tweek my settings to get the best results?

Any ideas?

Ya, sorry. I've found a few more posts just strolling around the forums. Can only wait and see what happens. Some people seem to think that most ASIC companys are scams? I think I'll sit this one out. See what happens.

Thanks for the replies anyway guys!

Tried to reply already, but something failed. Wouldn't even let me re-paste what I had wrote. Because I had "already posted it". Can't be bothered writing all of it again. Haha! Basically....


When ASICs hit you will be lucky to make a penny per year.

I was looking at the BFL ASICs, and according to my calculations (using
Code:
 Difficulty * 2^32 / Hashrate 
equation), the 1,500GH/s device would pay for itself in less than a month, with a difficulty of 10,000,000. Even at 20,000,000 it would take less than 50 days. Lets say 60 days including electricity. Hell, increase it to 30,000,000 and its still only 2 and a half months. 100,000,000 and its still less than a year. [assuming the exchange rate stays constant (i know it wont), and that the reward stays at BTC25].

Its a huge investment to start with ($29,899 for now), but do you think its worth it? Even the 4.5GH/s mini device seems handy.

What do you think? Stay away? Or start pulling my change together, and order one?

Hey, I was reading this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8405.0 because myself and a few friends were trying to work out if it was feasible. But the post finishes in November 2011, and since I cant post in that section, I want reopen the idea.

Nearly a year and a half later, have things changed? Is it still not possible to do this without losing money? Amazon offer a free tier, where you get limited resources for free each month. If this is possible, and I can only mine a couple of BTC0.0001s per day, its still free money. And the method can be perfected after. I can do it at home, and break even fairly ok, if I limit when I mine to when I'm using the computer anyway, but if I'm not - its not profitable. (I'll explain why in a different post. Its a different topic, for a different day.)

A friend has also told me that Amazon offer some kind of "1yr for free" deal on some kind of server. But he doesnt know the details, and will try to find out for me. But I also know Amazon are not the only cloud server suppliers out there that offer free trials/tiers. Do you know any other providers that I could try?

Finally....Anyone want to help a poor student pay his electricity bill?  Undecided (1NWhKc383pff1dsSsAWBnQa1t2w9s7jvgT)


Thanks for ANY help!
