3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Dwolla Transfer to Mt Gox...money not showing up on: June 28, 2011, 01:40:47 AM
Saturday afternoon I transferred about $60 from my dwolla account to my Mt Gox account. Dwolla said the transfer went through shortly after.

Its Monday and I don't have the money in my Mt Gox account. I have sent in a ticket to them giving all the info for the transfer and the only response I've gotten from them was a request for the same info I already gave them.

I'm not looking for people to post about how I shouldn't trust Mt Gox or BS like that. All I'm looking for is if someone has had a similar experience and if its gotten resolved.

5  Bitcoin / Mining / Should I switch Pools? on: June 24, 2011, 07:01:47 PM
I've been mining at BTC Guild for almost 3 weeks now. I've seen it grow very fast up to its current 2.5Thash/second. I notice that my earned btc's per share have significantly decreased, from about .015 -.019 to .008 -.012. This started happening way before the difficulty increase that happened last night.

Now I know that when more people join a pool the amount you get from the shares you produce goes down, but then the time per round should decrease (with the exception of luck) so that you should still be making close to what you were making before. I had highs of .75 btc per 24 hours with lows of .48 per 24 hours before BTC Guild reached 2.5Thash and now I'm seeing about .47 to .50.

I'm currently running at around 500-550mhash/sec with two 5830's.

I know this also has to deal with luck but I'm wondering, is there a point when a pool gets too big that people who are producing on the lower end of mhash/sec should move on to a different pool who is not as big? Is there some breaking point where the math shows that joining a smaller pool is better then staying with one of the big pools?

6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Do you just need to backup your wallet.dat once? on: June 22, 2011, 07:10:38 PM
This might sound a bit stupid but I encountered something last night that made me scratch my head concerning what I THOUGH I knew about backing up your wallet.dat.

So first this is why I'm asking:

Last night I had done a transfer from my mining pool to my wallet. During the confirmation process, at like 2 confirmations, my computer froze. On top of this my wallet.dat was currently being read by the Bitcoin client from an opened TrueCrypt encrypted volume in a file. When I restarted my computer and I opened up the encrypted volume again the wallet.dat was corrupt. I then copied over an older backup of my wallet.dat, it was a few hours older, and I let it scan all of the blocks and I ended up not loosing anything.

Now I know that I shouldn't ever work directly out of an encrypted volume to prevent something like this from happening again but it got me to thinking: Do I need to constantly be backing up my wallet.dat or will just one backup do? I mean it seems that when a wallet.dat doesn't have the current info from the subsequent blocks that it just scans the network and gets that info pretty quickly. Won't that then using an older backup just eventually find the blocks with my transactions and add them to the older wallet.dat?

If I've got this entirely wrong please help me out with this.
7  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Linux overclocking options? on: June 19, 2011, 04:40:31 AM
I just wanted to make sure about this; the only way to ovetclock in Linux is either through aticinfig or its front end GUIs orby flashing the BIOS on the cards?

I was using windows before and I was getting my 5830sat around 290 to 300. I had to move to Linux cause of stability issues and now I'm running at 278 and 260.

If RBE or something similar is my only choice is the risk worth it? Are there any other options?
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Phoenix mining problems using sdk 2.1 on: June 14, 2011, 01:39:50 PM
Last night I decided to try sdk 2.1 from 2.4. My mhash rate went up by almost 10%, but my system would lock up after 5 minutes or so even though my temps on both cards were below 68c. I even lowered my aggression level from 8 down to 7 and even 6, and it would still lockup my system.

I was using the latest display drivers from AMD with sdk 2.1. Should I have been using different, older display drivers?

I am using Windows XP SP3 32bit with 2 5830s, one an xfx the other a sapphire.
9  Bitcoin / Mining / XFX 5830 and Saphire 5830 in same rig and having problems...HELP!!! on: June 09, 2011, 03:32:35 AM
I bought my XFX 5830 first. I had it overclocked at 985/250 with fan at 80% and I was getting with phoenix anywhere between 280 and 300mhash/sec.

I moved my computer into a new case that has 4 large fans (old case only had one) and I installed the Saphire 5830. I do have the Saphire hooked up to a 2nd monitor.

Using MSI Afterburner I can get the XFX 5830 to run around 280-295 but I end up having alot of issues with the Saphire.

If I overclock the Saphire to the same 985/250 with fan at 75% (which is what the XFX is running at now inside the new improved case) it will put bars up on my second monitor and lock up my system.

If I overclock it to about 875/1000 fan still at 75% I can get it stable but it runs at a horrible rate of 130-180mhash/sec.

This is happening in both phoenix and GuiMiner.

Here are my settings for phoenix:
Code:
-k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=13 WORKSIZE=256

I do have two copies of phoenix for each card, with the second card using device 1 but the other settings are the same.

With GuiMiner I'm using the -v -w 256 flags. It looks like I can get close to the same rates of about 250-270mhash/sec on each card but the Saphire will sometimes drop down to as low as 5mhash/sec for as long as a minute.

Also the Saphire, when I am running it at 875/1000 it's GPU usage will constantly go up and down by as much as 30%-40%. The XFX card does not do this.

Currently I am using the newest ATI Catalyst Drivers with SDK 2.4 and my system is Windows XP SP3 Pro 32bit

Please any help would be greatly appreciated cause this is driving me crazy!!!
10  Bitcoin / Mining / Two 5830 @ 280Mhash/s, can I get more out of it? on: June 03, 2011, 03:34:10 PM
I just got my XFX 5830 last night and got it in my rig. I underclocked the ram down to 500Mhz and overclocked the GPU from 800Mhz to 980Mhz. I was getting about 290 using GUIMiner with the flags -v -w 256 but I had some odd problems staying connected to BTCGuild while using it. I decided to try the phoenix miner for the first time.

My current settings with phoenix miner are the following:

-k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11

Are there any additional or different settings I can play with to get past 280Mhash/s?
