For me it shows:
Total Time Spent Online:  40 minutes.

...and this is my very first post.
So you shouldn't have to have posted before it counts your online minutes.

HTH.


I just wanted to back this up, the exact same thing happened for me. I started posting rather quickly but this is true, if you lurk, you can make an account which are logged into and it is quite easy to just browse and have the time pass.

Very nice design, well built and looks to be very good at cooling. If your using windows I wouldn't recommend a fifth graphics card because they have problems after four but other than that, good job and best of luck!
803  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 490,000 Avalon chips already ordered - 150T hashrate spike coming in August on: May 09, 2013, 10:19:25 PM
I don't think there will be a spike that large in August because of all the mining difficulties and such. However, I think the price will go up some for BTC. Worst case you can switch to ltc.

Wow, I was planning on pulling the trigger on something like this for LTC and may. You don't need ram if you use CGMiner which is what I would do. Um, I would recommend mining some BTC until they become unprofitable and then switch to LTC. If it is still possible to do this in another 1.5 years~ I may dump around 5k-10k into this to see how it would work, that could be interesting:).

Also more pictures of deliveries, only the first picture works.
805  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What are the most important bitcoin ecosystem development for mass adoption? on: May 09, 2013, 09:47:42 PM
I would say reduce bitcoin-qt. I'm not as much worried about the 10gb because of the size of harddrives these days as much as I'm worried about the large amount of time it takes to download for someone interested in starting up. It took me several days to get it downloaded and I feel like in the future that can make people less excited to do BTC.
806  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Peg Bitcoin to 1 gram of gold. on: May 09, 2013, 09:42:13 PM
And who would hold all of that gold to back it up. Plus that would cause the price of bitcoins to drop to like $50 which would make many people unhappy. If you wanted to do this you would need to pin it to like 2 grams of gold and you would need to make an online exchange where you can also trade 1 btc for 2 grams of gold or 2 grams of gold for 1 btc regardless of their respective prices.

Seems pretty good since the cost on newegg is $190. Check other places online and see how it compares and then check to see if and when you will get your money back.

Lol I've just found out about this coin and now I'm looking into it. Though it still goes back to what I originally said that there are way to many cryptocurrencies out there and that will cause a problem one day if not already.
809  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BBQCoin Pump and Dump announcement on: May 09, 2013, 06:23:13 PM
Interesting. Though I'm wondering why you are pumping the hell out of BBQ coin are you trying to manipulate the market? If so quite smart, props. Though you probably should have bought your coins before you told everyone because people could buy everything now and drive the price up a lot.
810  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC value at the end of May on: May 09, 2013, 06:09:26 PM
I'm not sure. I think once Asics are the most power efficient someone will make a room full of Asics and just control the entire Bitcoin market by having such a large hashing power. I'm personally thinking of it as two situations.

-> Price will rise/stay the same as Asics won't really affect the price and it will increase as I think it would with GPU mining.
-> Price will decrease because people become less interested in mining when they realize they can't do it unless they just buy an Asic and it is hard to get ahead of everyone else.
-> Price stays the same because the decrease in cost to mine with Asics is combated by the increase in difficulty.

That stinks that your forum account has been hacked but at least you are doing a good thing by reimbursing forum members for the money which they lost, I don't want to seem mean but I personally would not have given my own money to attempt to do that, I would have just created a new account and focused on that one. O'well way to be a good person and bump Smiley
812  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Someone said 'Empty wallet'?? on: May 09, 2013, 05:58:54 PM
Welcome to the forum.

I don't want to sound rude but no one cares that you have all those wallets and that they are still empty. In fact I personally wouldn't recommend having downloaded all those wallets if your going to use them, I only have three. I would recommend instead putting your effort and resources into trying and get some coins rather than owrrying about having people donate free coins to you, this is spam.
813  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: GUI Miner Crashing? on: May 09, 2013, 05:54:02 PM
I've occasionally had this problem with GUIMiner where it seems to self-corrupt itself and crash and I'm forced to re-download and re-extract. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to stop doing that or at least figure out what is doing that. I've heard that Cgminer will solve my problems but when I downloaded I couldn't get it working and at the download link that I found I wasn't sure which files to download since there were a bunch available.
814  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: If bitcoin survives.... on: May 09, 2013, 05:44:11 PM
Hey all - newbie here,

As a first post I may as well ask a question that i've been thinking for a while. If bitcoin survives and lasts for years to come, does that automatically mean it's worth will increase as well? Assuming it survives means more and more people use it which will ultimately increase mining which increases difficulty which in effect drives up price. Is this a correct assumption or not? I know there are other factors that affect price, but i'm asking in general. I remember reading about bitcoin when it was worth around $5 for one...

I think that the price will fluctuate a lot but I don't think it will continue to go up. As someone already said gold is a good example. You must also realize that soon BTC will reach 21 million and then their will be none to be mined and people can only get paid from transactions so that will also affect the price and I think on the day no more BTC are being generated, the price will go up a lot.

817  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How much have newbie Mhs/Khs? on: May 08, 2013, 08:43:26 PM
I mine on my laptop because I'm testing everything and seeing how everything works (haven't built a dedicated desktop yet.)

I get 40kh/s CPU mining LTC, 21mh/s GPU Mining BTC/TRC with Nvidia 650m 2gb and 5mh/s with the Intel 4000 Graphics on my CPU.
818  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: TURBOCOIN IS A SCAM, dillavou/turbo815 is stealling users coins on: May 08, 2013, 08:38:25 PM
That stinks. This is the main reason why I prefer to stick with more popular pools and will only move to smaller pools that if they offer a much bigger reward. But even then I would be very careful about going to smaller pools. Sorry that had to happen to you:(, best of luck if the future!
819  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to upload wallet.dat file? HELP ASAP on: May 08, 2013, 08:32:13 PM
Just be careful when uploading your wallet because if someone hacks the website they can steal all of your BTC and if the website is down then you won't be able to access your BTC. Just wanted to let you know to be careful and wish you best of luck!
820  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 707 shares and no reward on: May 08, 2013, 08:30:33 PM
Yeah that stinks:(. What pool are you using and what method did you sign up for (some pools don't give out rewards up until the point when the block is completed) so if you have a slow pool and they haven't completed the block yet, you won't get any rewards up until the point they do complete the block.
