Open the Nvidia control panel
go to Help --> System Information
do you see your card there?
What driver version?
Yes, I see my card. Driver version: 265.89 Isnt the newest driver like 306.xx or something like that? Possibly. This is the latest from Toshiba. I find that the drivers from the hardware manufacturers can be more reliable (learned that lesson the hard way with Intel graphics drivers on a Dell). Anyway, I tried the clean re-install option and it seems to be working now. Thanks to all who took an interest in helping. |

Probably a driver issue. Try reinstalling it.
Tried re-installing. Still getting the error. Didn't get any errors during re-install of latest drivers. |

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M and I'm trying to use the GUI miner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0In the devices list of the miner, the only options I see are my Intel i7-2630 processor - not the NVIDIA card. So I tried to set up a new CUDA miner, but when I run the miner at the command line I get the following error: rpcminer-cuda.exe Client will start 1 miner threads Work will be refreshed every 4000 ms Unable to initialize CUDA I looked up this error and found a suggestion to download the latest CUDA SDK - but that didn't seem to help. I'd prefer to get the GUI miner to see that I have a GPU available for mining. I had the CUDA miner working properly as of 8/28/2012 but I've been getting this Unable to initialize CUDA error ever since. At this point I'd prefer to get the GUI miner working for simplicity's sake, but I'd settle for getting it to work via the command line - any help? Update: Command line arguments I'm using are: rpcminer-cuda.exe -url=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user= username -password= passwordThe Username and Password aren't the problem because they work for CPU mining. |

Hmm. I guess everyone here already has a USP?

Do you have feedback reference somewhere?
I PM'd you my eBay seller info. |

Awesome joystick. Nice item to have sitting around as a showpiece - or a great candidate for an electronics project. Heavy die-cast metal base, spring-centered stick, programmable buttons, glass filled joystick - very solid. Biddings starts at a Bitpenny: https://www.biddingpond.com/item.php?id=918 |

You would be right. People are giving Google + invites for FREE at NEWBIES section of the forum.
Eh, there's always someone out there who's willing to pay rather than screw around chasing one in the forums. |

mt gox is a lot richer and has a lot more resources than they had before starting this project. They are also smarter as a result of this incident. They've handled the incident better than expected. Don't be so quick to write people off.
Yes, and if they fail to fix things to the customer's satisfaction, they have more at stake. Might even coin a new term... you want to secure your websites so you don't get "Goxed".  |

They failed to maintain their business. Contracts have been made and settled although there were devious parties involved but they aren't under the company's jurisdiction. Mt. Gox isn't a security force. They are an escrow. No vigilant justice should occur.
Instead of voiding people's trading contracts at large why doesn't Mt. Gox just hold itself liable and pay for the losses it caused directly? Why doesn't Mt. Gox just accept its failure? Why burden innocent traders for its negligence?
Again, personally, I think Mt. Gox should just be wiped off the map. They're done. They failed.
I can understand your point. Personally I think the same of United and American Airlines after 9/11. Who should be the arbiter? The current and future customers of Mt. Gox. If Mt. Gox handles this well then they will have the confidence of their users. If they handle it poorly, they will lose confidence and business. So the ball is really in their court. Do they want to stay in business? Their actions will soon tell and customers will decide if their actions go far enough. |

Definitely, it will NOT just stay within the hackers circle.
For now it fails the "Mom" test. When my Mom can figure out how to use it to buy an antique lamp on eBay, it can go mainstream. For now, even techies I know are having trouble getting their heads around the concept. The main thing between them and using bitcoin is the economic decision to invest time in understanding it. Current assessment for most? "Why bother?" |

Like Libertarianism itself Bitcoin is going through a transition from elegant theory to brutal reality.
Mainly the brutal reality that people would rather burn different ideas at the stake than give them a try. The crux of Libertarianism is nothing more than "the ethic of reciprocity" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Rule) - what's novel is the idea that we should hold governments to the same standards as individuals when it comes to stealing, enslaving, and murdering. Similar view on Bitcoin as well. Simple idea - no middle-men meddling in your monetary exchanges. When it comes to that, Bitcoin works great "in reality". Seems pathetic to take the position that these ideals shouldn't be persued "in reality". From where I stand, only a sociopath would stand against them. |

Looking at the comments in the few articles about Bitcoin that appeared on Slashdot so far, it seems the Slahsdot crowd really hates Bitcoin. However I do not see an obvious reason for that? Any ideas why the Slashdot crowd hates Bitcoin?

Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not YET sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favour; a long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. - Thomas Paine, "Common Sense" (1776)Full text here (great read!): http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Common_Sense |

Might as well ease the time a little while waiting to be released from the newbie section  Feel free to post more reasons below. miccy NOTA |

Because if it is drops anymore I'd have to take my 3 5830 back to Frys.
Please do. Fewer miners means more BTC for me. |

Do you guys think that the price will be at $5/1BTC by the end of this month?
Glad to see you're out of the hospital. First "the rapture", now the vague BTC prediction. |

You know when I was little, I used to think that all the adults who fall for get-rich-quick-schemes are stupid. That they don't know something I do. Now I know it was in fact the other way around. I didn't know something, they did. And they knew: Sometimes these schemes work. They have seen people get rich quick, with no work. I didn't know it could work, I didn't see people get rich. So in summary I now know it is perfectly reasonable for people to think that get-rich-quick-schemes could work, because they can. (1% of the time, but they can)
The mistaken assumption underlying your statement is that people are interested in BTC to get rich. I haven't seen that to be the case. People are interested in BTC because they don't like economic systems that are designed to be meddled with to suit the whims of their controllers. To me the value in a BTC is not in it's daily price (which only reflects aggregate userbase calculations of supply and demand both in the present and the future) but in the concept that it stands for. There will always be speculators who don't bother to understand the nature of the commodity underpinning their investiment. The economic ecosystem that's developing takes all kinds to function. Attempts to regulate such characters away for percieved "unfair" activities, or to manipulate the market so that it "does what we want" are the sort of insanity that gave rise to a need for the BTC alternative in the first place. Come for the promise of riches, but stay for the promise of liberty. |
