I guess I'm stupid, too...because when I look at the chart over at bitcoincharts.com, it looks like BTC did indeed break 120 PLN back on June 8 on Bitomat. Maybe I've been reading this chart wrong all this time?

Not a cent. Haven't contributed much to the community either...just a little help getting folks nooblier than myself set up mining and the occasional witty banter.

I tried this and burnt myself a bit back around the $7-$8 range...gonna hang tight and see what the market does now. It's like a damn roller coaster.

Indeed.

Thanks for the quick catch and recovery. I feel a lot safer knowing you're on the case.

Correct. And thank you.

Order completed.

Your site was very easy to use.

Is this the Russian Rick Roll?

I do have a question for you, Tycho. It seems like Deepbit is going to hit a 50% mark at some point in the extremely near future at the current rate of growth I've been seeing today. You'd mentioned earlier in this thread that you had no plans to exceed that 50% mark...but that may now be happening regardless. My question is whether or not we would be protected (as a pool) from actually executing the >50% attack on the network ourselves by way of some sort of subversion. I'm not horribly tech savvy (as evidenced by my posts around here, I'm sure), but I do see this as a huge potential issue if steps haven't been made to mitigate that sort of risk. I know lots of people around here have brought this up in different ways, but I just wanted to be direct about it.

Other than that one little concern, I've been having a great run in your pool all week. Thanks for having me along.

I can do it. I await your okay.

I'll just test, if that's okay...kinda low on coinage ATM.

Agreed for sure on that last part...it definitely seems unwell right now, though.

Something is definitely up...I wasn't able to connect at all just now.

Pool seems unhappy...anyone confirm for me?

Nevermind.

I never really thought about it like that. Interesting.

Tycho's already said that he doesn't plan on taking more than half of the total Bitcoin network over (though I don't know how he plans to mitigate that)...if it gets close, no offense to Tycho, but I should be moving on. It's all about the security of the network.

Here's a good article on the wiki:

Yeah...it's going to chafe in a serious way.

You might be able to OC that all the way up to 960. Hell, I saw Frankiebits say he had his at 1000 for a while...though I couldn't tell you how he did that. I run mine at 960, and I seem to have one of the most unstable systems on the forum in terms of getting the speeds everyone else is. 960 is damn stable, though. I get around 290 or so while using the computer, but I can't get my memory clock as low as I'd like. I'd say edge the core clock up by 5 and just keep an eye on it for a bit. Sometimes I'll launch like 3 Firefox tabs with YouTube videos just to make sure the system is stable before I OC it more.

Edit: If you do this, keep an eye on the temp. I use a tool called GPU Observer...it's a Windows sidebar gadget. Too lazy to link.

That's actually a good point. Were I more awake, we could do some math on the topic. I do know that I SS'ed it and posted it all over the place...I was very happy. Just got it a few days ago.

My computer makes it very, very clear when I've overextended the card...the driver either crashes (and usually restarts) and my MHash/sec drops to almost nothing, or it just locks up outright and I have to hard reboot it. I've also found that I can run my card pretty fast provided I'm not doing anything else with the system. So, I guess it will depend on whether you are actually using the computer while it's mining...or, at all (since sometimes, just bugging the computer when the clocks are unstable will cause one of the previous two outcomes).

I had earned a total of 46 BTC when I found my first block. In the long run, yes, it all evens out.
