First problem: I am having some weird bitcoin problem, I reinstalled (downloaded newested bitcoin from bitcoin.org).



Second problem: I get "Verification failed, check hardware!" for my GPUMINER. Why does it do this?

specs:

win 7 64 bit
4 GB RAM
6970 ATI PowerColor (new card i just got that gives me this error)
quad core 2/4 ghz
psu  750w

880 core clock
1375 downed to 1200 (lowering to 800 only decrements temp for me by 1-4 c) and makes pc way lagger

-f0 -d0 -w 128 are my flags when im sleeping i put it to -f60 when awake

for now my problem 2 i use the console now and coded a program which kills poclbm after some time and then runs it again like every 30 mins.

[Setting:]

Setting: Value when sleeping (Value when awake)

Voltage: 1.2
Fan: 50% (55%)
Clock: 925
Frames: 0 (60)
Memory: 800

-v slowed my pc
-s0.01 lowered my average hash rate by only 1-3MH/s, but its a good feature to use i guess when sleeping but I don't use it I might later on
-w128 worked wonders
-w64 froze my pc about 2 times when i did stuff on my pc
-f 0 works good and doesn't lag my pc too much i can still go on forums, etc.
-f 60 works better when i want to use my pc

Temp never go above 74, but its on [71-72] average.


I was wondering why when I went to youtube my computer would freeze also if someone could be so kind.

Should I use GUI miner/poclbm or phoneix, I don't want to overclock my gpu too much cause I want to run it 24/7 and I don't want to hear my fan noise when Im sleeping (I sleep 1 room away and I keep the computer room closed and yes it has a return duct for intake). Hope someone can help me out.

Well i decided to turn off my pc for one night after 1 week running it straight on 65% fan speed (around 62 C stable). Then I wake up, and turn on my pc and I hear this like rickety noise... im like WTF! I then find out its my GFX so i pull it out and clean off some dust (yeah my pc got a lot of dust this month...) I put it back, still making that LOUD ASS noise.. im like shit.. now i need to change my GFX... but then i touch the fan slightly (pushing it) and it stopped making that noise.... so im wondering should i go and do this with my new 5870 or is mining not profitable? and how long do your cards last on maximum usage, 60-70% fan, and around 55 C to 62 C.

Hello I am a new bitcoin miner and I wish to do some transactions with your site.

I am known as psknives in the bitcoin forums. I also have a deepbit account http://deepbit.net/userbar/4dc06de38161971bf8000006_45368c65ca.png will show my current mining.

Hopefully I can get an invitation.

Thank you for your time!

This is what I have sent them, but I have not received a reply yet.

I sent this on May 5.

Already with under 40,000 users we are getting weird spikes on the market and difficulty. When do you think that the difficulty would rise so much that even a 6990 won't be getting barely anything.

I am assuming thats prob one of the best crossfire options... but i know i got to get some HEAVY cooling done or else its going get blazing hot.

gfx is based on how much money i get, 1.8 btc is depended on gfx with difficulty in consideration.

[So I am just wondering If i am doing things right because I've only earned 0.08 BTC and its been like 3-4 hours now.]

I have a 4890 ATI and I am currently at 95 khashs/s (deepbit says I got around 150 MH/s).

I am also running bitcoin regular with 4 kh/s (cpu) barely using 10%.

Right now Im doing the Proportional type of worker for the deepbit because I don't have to good of a GPU.

So I am just wondering If i am doing things right because I've only earned 0.08 BTC and its been like 3-4 hours now.

Also are there any better pooling sites out there?
