I'm getting about 375 MH/s with my 7870 right now, but haven't looked into overclocking it yet.

After trying to find an exchange to trade my Euros to BTC, almost wiring money to BTC-24, and narrowly avoiding this mess with their accounts being closed/ website down/ lack of communication, I decided that I would try acquire my first taste of bitcoins another way. Luckily I went with a Radeon graphics card rather than a Nvidea when putting together my PC a while ago. I'm getting about 375 MH/s with my 7870 right now, but haven't looked into overclocking it yet. I'm sure I can do better than that. I've pulled in about 0.004BCT from mining for the past two days, noting substantial yet. If the ASIC miners don't come on line any time soon raping up the difficulty, I should have 1BTC to my name in the next 50 days.

I was just about to wire some money into bitcoin-24 after several days of looking into my best exchange options for Euro to BTC. I then noticed people freaking out in the chatbox, which was seemingly more legit than the usual trolls. They were warning people not to trade and that there was a bug in the engine, telling admins to take to shut the exchange down. Not long after that the site went down. At that point I seriously felt like I had just dodged a bullet. After all my caution, I still almost get stung by poorly run exchanges. From what I can tell, this bug was known about and reported, see this video for more details: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYPaN_41tv0, but noting was done about it (date on the video is 2nd April). My guess is that someone(or a several people) didn't take to well to not being able to access their potentially large sum of money, thus reported this resulting in the closing of Simon's(the guy running the exchange) bank account. This has made me far more weary of going through an exchange, realizing now that even the ones that seemingly have a decent reputation are this fragile.
