Slightly OT, but today was a sad day for my mining.
Rig stopped responding. When I returned home, it was off, totally. Cannot be started.
Soon I found that one of my 5870 OC edition card died. PSU cannot run with that card in slot, so it seems like stupid problem with voltage stabilizer etc. Damn.
The card is in warranty (one month old), but there are no 5870 cards probably, so I will be refunded. Damn.
I bought Sapphire 5830 .. nice beast, looks cheapy, but can get to 1030 MHz in core. Then, its hot even more than 5870. Surprisingly, the power consumption is roughly the same!
I went down from 425 MH/s to 320 MH/s.
For building new rigs with 3-4 cards, 5830 seems to be nice choice.

70C is perfect temperature for home-made dried jerky meat. I suggest every miner to add this to their business. Considering the price of Jerky in shops, this may be good backup for your financial plan  . |

Simply wait a few blocks. Almost for sure it will become confirmed.

Imagine sending Bitcoin money to an address like storing them at number coded lockers in the train station. If you know the code to given address (stored in wallet.dat), you will be able to pickup Bitcoins, anytime.
If you lost your passwords (wallet.dat), those Bitcoins will be locked in that address forever.

Wow...and the next 5min block came after this.  Looks like finally we got a lot of luck. A lamb sacrificed? Some Vatican candles lit? Bat eaten? What helped? ;-) |

I was with Deepbit from its 50MH/s era (good old times).
But I switched a week ago. First, I do not want to increase its dangerous proportion of the total hashrate. Secondly, as I mine 24/7, I do not want to be "robbed" by pool hoppers. They can lower my income on deepbit, but not on pool with protection to this.

What is your url you use in the miner (exclude your password, of course)?
|

Password card? What? Limiting all possible passwords to only hundreds combinations to test? Sorry, no. Password card is bad tool. |

Use Win+R and type cmd. Press Enter.
A console window will appear. Go to the path where you stored your Phoenix installation.
For example, place Phoenix into C:\Phoenix\
then, use commands:
C:
cd Phoenix
then, run the commands .. test various options and find optimal combination
store the combination into BAT file (textfile with extension .BAT)
later, run that BAT file (you can create a shortcut to it from desktop).

What is the problem to do this banning automatically? either using iptables or directly in the pool server daemon?
Count number of requested shares, returned .. if exceeds some maxima, ban the IP for 10 minutes.
Doing this by "hand" from logs is tedious work which will not adapt to other DDoSers.

This completely wrong. I'm tired of people spouting off this nonsense. If all the pools dropped, people would mine solo.
If you look at deepbit, when it was hit by DDOS, everyone switched. There was no "loss" of pooling.
Or are you assuming all of us mining are NOT greedy bastards and would flounder around saying "AHHH POOLS ARE DOWN NO MORE MINING!?" If anything we are greedy and would start mining like mad thinking that deepbit is down and therefore 1/4 the total pool. (Completely wrong.)
No, there's no worry about DDOS and then someone taking over the network that way.
Yeah, one pool down means everybody switches. But, when all pools have problems? I am not sure, but a lot of people with < 1GH/s would not go solo. Waiting a month for single block on average requires a lot of patience and good nerves to not loose faith. If the pools would not be invented last year, I guess the network would be 1/10 or less than it is today. Plus, the attacker can "prepare" his own new pool while attacking all remaining. All would switch to his pool, and he would easily gain >50% of network. You would not know at all, he can "fake" his pool stats. Then, he rules the network. |

Damn!

Bloody long runs .. and with no payout! Probably due to network problems these precious block did not get to propagate fast enough.

I would like to see a some more user-friendly version of OTC market website. For each country/currency, you could list potential merchants willing to trade local currency. All based on some ring-of-trust, reviews, etc. You could probably somehow link your ebay or other site trust to your personal account on this market.
MtGox is special because it has multiple currency support and plans to improve it even more. Sorry, but for me, not being in US, is the Dwolla no option.

you are wrong.
i have never said people MUST do something, and i never will. it their coins its them who decides what to do with them.
i DON'T want their coins.
i have never mined, and never will(except maybe try FPGA mining sometime, and then use is to do funny stuff on after)
Some of your quotes in this topic: it might not be so high that it is a problem for you. but i think MtGox should not take so much for it. i dont like that! i think the fee should be around 0.05% its more fair. (it gives them a ~48.25btc/2day) good point. but still 626btc/2day is way to much.i think t hey should have many coins, but not as much as they have now. |

Their money, they can do what they like with it. Burn it for all I care (can you burn bitcoins?).
Yeah, burning Bitcoins is easy and ecological (no CO2 emissions at all). Simply delete your wallet.dat. |

Dude, you know what is the biggest problem? People like you who think they know how other people SHOULD (or later MUST) act.
If you think MtGox takes too much, use other exchange. Or, better, start your own new exchange taking just 0.05% as you proposed. You will be happy, maybe we, too. Better not ask how much robbery fee I had to shell out to my bank to accept EURO SEPA payment from MtGox and convert it to my local currency.
If you think some have too much Bitcoins, you should CPU-mined them last year. When the price of electricity was larger than what was their price.
Check Google Finance. You will see buying Apple stock in 2003 also could make a lot of people insanely rich nowadays. Should they now give a part to you?

Currently, there are about 5-6 pools who mine around 75% of the whole Bitcoins. If you target those pools with DDoS attacks, you can make them unstable, failing, etc. The result would be 4 times slower Bitcoin network.
Sure, new pools may show up. It will take some time, though. And they can be targeted, too.
Actually, I think that the above is already being performed by SOMEONE.

My money from MtGox just arrived!  Took exactly 3 days to get them, including conversion from EURO to my local money. That is great. The local bank conversion fees are not that great. A legal daylight robbery, to be specific. But, we all still have to feed these bank dinosaurs until they become extinct. Which will be sooner with these Bitcoins! So, thanks and I am looking forward for future trading with MtGox! |
