1  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [8500 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + UserDiff; ASIC tested on: May 03, 2013, 07:42:02 PM
I would like to make a recommendation based on my experience.

When I started mining over 2 years ago, the one feature that was missing from slush (bitcoin.cz) was an average earnings per 24hours period metric.

Don't underestimate the power of that one small metric, as a small mining outfit monitoring 6 rigs, it provided me with a the feedback I needed to make mining worthwhile.
As a result, I chose to mine with BTCguild over slush.

I will guess BTCguild's success is largely to do with their UI and the "all powerful" average earnings per 24 hrs feedback.
In the light of there success, they are not following free market principals I have so come to admire about Bitcoin, but are now penalising usurers for there success, so I have swung back to mine with slush.

My biggest disappointment is I don't get any average per 24hrs earnings feedback, I am so disappointed I am considering paying the higher fees on BTCguild just for that little metric.

So as a plea, please add an average per 24hrs earning to the "My account" page.
thanks,


Maybe this can help: https://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/graphs/

I've finally reached my first payment's minimum threshold. THANKS to those who helped me get there. It would have taken me months without you. I am definately going to take a big holiday from mining now Smiley

I've a question/warning regarding AMD Display Driver. The driver seems to be required for OpenCL miner but it also seems to be quite outdated and sometimes produce awful display output for firefox (only firefox which I find quite strange - see screenshot https://i.imgur.com/AgTSDba.png). Notice that part of the text is affected and part is not. Sometimes images are also affected. Switching between tabs fixes the problem until something moves. Uninstalling the driver revert the system back to normal display output but disables OCL mining.

I'm running GUIMiner - v2012-12-03 on ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 on Win7 64-bit SP1.

Mainly I am just warning newcomers that this could happen but I would also appreciate some advice if someones has managed to solve this or knows how to do it.


Goin off your screenshot, it's Firefox. Not your AMD drivers.

In Firefox go to Tools --> Options --> Advanced ... and uncheck the 'Use hardware acceleration when available' checkbox.

It worked. Thanks!

Are you on digital (dvi, hdmi, etc) or vga and running native resolution?  VGA can look bad like this depending on the quality of monitor your using.

I'm on laptop.
EDIT: Also, I was able to capture the phenomenon on a screenshot so the monitor itself doesn't have any problems. I've also checked different colour settings so that also doesn't seem to cause the problem.
EDIT2: I'm running recommended resolution settings (1366 x 768).

BTC0.0002 on #17792
BTC0.0014 on #17793
and 202 shares and counting for this round

I am signing off, too. It's too late here in Latvia. Thanks Kruncha! Thanks Lucko, you can stop today. Wouldn't be nice to ask others work while I sleep.
I am now at BTC0.0054. Thanks again! Will be back tomorrow with some screenshots and advising what not to do Cheesy
OK blocks 17793 and 17794 were my donation... I hope you wake up to nice surprise I got you to 0.007 and someone else get you to 0.01...

It was an awesome surprise. And you were spot on - I have reached BTC0.0071.

mining seems to be a choice of pour money at it and get big rigs/asic or sift little and often and try to chip away at the mess of 0s to get some im only a tiny player myself and now after almost 1 month have .4 btc
unless your on a laptop you might look into getting a cheap gpu even a 57xx will give you about 100-150mhash


I am on a laptop, and that's a huge offset. Nevertheless, I've learned a lot. I've also managed to worsen my browser display output setting up ATI drivers but that's another story Cheesy

Cheap desktop with PCIx16 about 50€ and 5750 or 5770 is about 50€ and you will getitng about 150 180 without overclocking and up to 220 with overclocking... But use cgminer you get about 10% more out... When ASIC takes over BTC switch to LTC...

Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look on these possibilities and exact prices tomorrow.

@Mikko8: I'm only a slow miner like I said earlier (50mhash/s) - sent 10 shares so far, are they registering?

K.

Thanks. It was 9 a minute ago + 1 on the new block.

hey guys this would be my 1st post here. Smiley

Based on my experience here at slush pool having just 85 mh/s average The reward here is great! For example 24 shares on 26 mins block my reward is arround 0.0003.(this figure for me is great with just 85 mh/s). The only thing i notice is that if ever there is a connection issue or outage you will likely see a lot of zeros even if you have shares.

 Waiting for my 2 sapphire 5850 gpu (low on budget) which will arrive next week. Imagine getting 600-700 mh/s. I think it would be fantastic.



That's more than I earn daily Cheesy Good luck with your new GPUs.

there is a difference in 7.7 and 1...

Sometimes I manage to mine a single share in an hour, sometimes two within a minute. No doubt there is a difference, but I call myself experienced at slow speeds Cheesy

I will give you my miner smaller miner(468) for one block....

Thank you!

just got back home and checked what the morning CPU mining did... total of 7 shares found, dificulty 1 ( max of 1.1MHash/sec when firefox is closed etc ) and find the following block is calculated ( and time showing last 2 of them were at end of round )

17791    2013-05-01 20:01:25  5:00:24 36782329  7 0.00000000    234096   25.58139100

normaly i'd shrug it off due to the over 36 million shares, this time i know at least 2 shares were in the last few min of the round

Unfortunally for such long round you probably need last minute not last minutes at that speed...

I with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 capable of 7.7Mhash/s at top speed can say this is not quite true. Last few minutes are fine.

btw, I am stuck at BTC0.0037. Maybe someone would like to help me reach the minimum payout threshold? I'd pay you your fair share for the work and cover the commission.

If you post a worker name and password here (it's safe - people can only use it to mine for you), I'll help a little till the end of the round - I'm a slow miner as well though.

I wouldn't require any payment from you, and maybe in little donations of time from different users you can reach your goal.

K.

Thanks! I really appreciate this! I didn't think this would take that long. I'm struggling since 12 April.

Transactions need to have a priority above 57,600,000 to avoid the enforced limit

What does the enforced limit mean? That I cannot send relatively young satoshis even if I pay a fee?
19  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Can't set Zero transaction fees in Electrum on: May 01, 2013, 05:42:12 PM
Well it's been about two weeks or so since I've received these very special tiny coins...

Still, when I want to transfer them from Electrum, it forces me to use a transaction fee.

How old do these coins have to be before I can set a zero transaction fee ?

Thanks

D


see the technical info : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees
if your transaction does not have a priority higher than the threshold described there, it will not be propagated by the Bitcoin network.

the Electrum client prevents you from sending a transaction that would otherwise not be propagated by the Bitcoin network.
when this protection was not there, the transaction was visible only at one server, misleading users.


Does it mean that transactions below the priority cannot be propagated at all or that these transactions cannot be propagated without a fee? Electrum error message requires a higher fee but my understanding was that the user determines the fee and that it can differ from the suggested fee. If this truly is the case, then how does Electrum determine the appropriate fee, why does it not show it and why is it not just a suggestion?

I am just worried that my specified fee would be overridden by the clients default.
