I have been sending BTC with the latest client (.13) with fees of 0.00 successfully for a few days now; however, this morning (about 12 hours ago) I sent 0.501 BTC to this address (with a fee of 0.00 specified in the standard gui)
http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Q6eEfU6KGAA2WncmyWYjJCXq7HXGunsis

About 10-15 secs after sending the funds I closed the client.
Checked blockexplorer all day and the transaction never showed up.

As of now, the client reads '0/unconfirmed'.  What to do?

====================

I have my program designed to only printout tickers when they actually change.  Also, there is a timeout on the socket.read of 40 seconds and if it expires we see additional output such as:
read_websocket error: Timeout exceeded waiting for data from Gox

So, between points A & B (a time period of almost 40 very critical minutes) we know that:

1 - I received some sort of message from Gox at least every 40 seconds.
2 - None of those messages (if of the ticker variety) differed from this:
ticker: high: 18.8766, low: 15.26, vol: 46454, buy: 17.51, sell: 17.5998, last: 17.51

Does that seem strange to anyone else?

Is there a way to tell the 'Show new replies to your posts' feature that you're not longer interested in some discussions you posted to in the past?

I don't know if this has been proposed yet or not but it would greatly increase BTC's usefulness as a currency given the wide fluctuations in BTC's value and its inherently deflationary economy.

Brick-and-mortar businesses provide a wifi-hotspot exposing a database of prices (in BTC) for every tangible good (or service) they offer (each of which has an RFID for identification).  Users point their smartphones at items and see pricing in their preferred units (even historical) as augmentations of the view.  Of course, support for ad hoc conversions via manual input would be supported as well.

I've developed a bot for gox trading (hosted on google app engine) which I've been using with reasonable success so far (avg profit 1-3% per day).  I am considering opening it up to outside investors and want to get an idea of the demand for such a service.  I will most likely settle on taking a percentage of the profits that it generates (as opposed to alternate pricing schemes).

It is certainly not as profitable [longer term] as simply holding at this point but it does offer the advantage of capitalizing on the near-constant noise (and is thus a good avenue for diversification).  I will, of course, over time increase its efficiency and customizability but it is already reasonably efficient and customizable.

[Sorry for the cross-post but it seems more relevant here than in 'trading discussion'].

Has anyone tried mixing 5XXX and 6XXX cards on the same system?  Both Linux and Windows recognize the cards just fine, but CLInfo. ati-config and other OpenCL programs (including the miners) do not.

Hi,

I was mining at a rate of 300K khash/sec with a single ATI HD 5870 last week running on an ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution and a 64-bit installation of Ubuntu 11.X running open source ATI drivers (fglrx).  Something went wrong with the Ubuntu installation so I re-installed 32-bit Kubuntu 10.10 and also installed two additional cards using the ATI proprietary driver (Catalyst)--although it was installed with fglrx dpkg package as well.  Now, my 3 cards are only averaging a rate of 150K khash/sec.  I've read elsewhere that bus speed should not be the issue.

My CPU is a Intel i3 3.1 Ghz (duo-core with hyperthreading).  'top' shows 3 of the CPUs pegged.  If i also start the CPU mining, then my rate on the GPUs drops to 1/2 what it is currently.

Is the CPU the bottleneck?  And, if so why?  I've also read elsewhere that this should be plenty of CPU.  [I've also specified 'performance' for the 'governor' settings].

Thanks!
