And tell me with a serious face that the Bitcoin economy is not going to crash.

I used GUIMiner for quite awhile and decided to give Phoenix a try a couple days ago. I just recently posted it into https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison .

I am able to get 423 mh/s. Stales are a little higher but not too much more. Here are the settings I used if you're interested.

ATI Tray Tools, Clocks=995/331.25, WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 VECTORS ,68C @ 65% Fan, HAF932 Case

One other thing to note. I can surf around on my pc and the hashing never drops below 410. With GUIMiner if I added -f0 I could get about 415 max and the pc was unusable.

Don't mean to hijack just figured I'd let you know.

Also, it's a Sapphire 2GB card in case that makes a difference.

Can you just post a screenshot? Your GPU doesn't need to be mining, I just need a screenshot.

My current triple crossfire 5850 rig is powered by a Antec TPQ-850 ($85 AR)

Sigh, my estimated earnings are still randomly decreasing and jumping about.
Is the score calculation still flawed?

I'll do my own calculations to determine how accurate it is.

Edit:
50(13535/441462)=1.533 BTC
My earnings are showing as 1.203 BTC  Huh

I am trying to iron-out the cheat-proof estimate. It's crazy logarithmic math. Payouts are also no longer 100% proportional. They are weighted towards miners who spend even time in the round. So, if you're not trying to pool-hop, you will be paid slightly more than those who are.

Even if your estimate is off: the final payout will be correct. The final payout calculations are too complex and strenuous to run often enough for estimates.

Could you explain the entire formula for calculating how we are paid? Then we can review it and fully understand how the reward system works.

Also, with the current method, doesn't that mean the lower-power contributers (below 500 MH/s) are unfairly being disadvantaged relative to the high-power hashers, so long as the high-power hashers are present (or accepting shares while the low-power hashers are too)?

what kind of performance increase does BFI_INT really give?

Also interested in knowing this...as far as I know I think it's just an optimization to improve performance on AMD cards.
387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tell us why you sold your Bitcoins on: June 08, 2011, 05:41:09 PM
Because I wanted $...?

Isn't that the whole point?

No one is questioning the reason for selling them in general.  I think the purpose of the question was to get at why now and not later?  Are you afraid the market will tank soon?  Why not hold out for $50/BTC or $100 for that matter?  The question is really, "Why now?"


Look at the prices. Look at the economy structure. Compare it to past historical events--it's a bubble. Prices shoot up exponentially...and it is going to crash. Look at the gold market for example...
If you are hoarding 100+ BTC and you're waiting for it to be worth $100 USD/BTC...good luck with that Smiley

Honestly, how long do you expect the current market to hold up?

Is there a reason you don't use BFI_INT?

I thought it was directly integrated into the program?

Edit: how do I use it?
391  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: If you own a single 6970 and you are using the GUI Miner please do me a favor on: June 08, 2011, 03:27:43 PM
Can't grab a screenshot right now, but I use "-v -w128 -f15"

My 6970 is clocked at 940MHz and in the Overdrive control panel I set power to +6%

With these settings I get 398-402 Mhash/s.

Without the +6% power, '-v' causes a performance decrease.



What does it says next to "Device"?

Just successfully cashed out. But I would like to point out two bugs with the process:

1. When I clicked "cash out" I was presented with a message "You have successfully cashed out 0 BTC to address (address)" and then my balance showed up as 0. However, I still got the BTC.
2. I received the full amount of BTC to 7 decimal places. I thought that all transactions were limited to two decimal places? I don't know, it just looks really awkward in my Bitcoin.

Deepbit just hit 50%. We are still alive. Now everyone stop whining.
396  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What just happened to Deepbit? on: June 08, 2011, 05:00:52 AM
Nothing until someone verifies a forged chain. Then its over (well, for now. to appease the long-term visionaries).
If a forged chain is verified wont a good portion of deepbit just move to a different mining pool to protect the security of bitcoin  as a whole?
Not likely. They don't check the forum... ever.

So what do we do about this security threat?

Nothing.
It is not in our control.
397  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 50% on: June 08, 2011, 04:30:56 AM
Guys, chill out. Even if it surpasses 50% Tycho is not going to do anything evil.

Unless SC wants to confirm otherwise, I think it's #129256. If this is correct, we have 45 more to wait. In slush's pool, it takes 12+hrs to get 120 confirms.

We are on block 129311 right now.
399  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What just happened to Deepbit? on: June 08, 2011, 04:28:46 AM
Uh.

400  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [Mining Pool] SIMPLECOIN.US (0% fee, Instant Pay, LP, JSON, Opensource!) on: June 08, 2011, 04:23:29 AM
So ... apparently the block still hasn't matured. Hasn't it already been far more than 120 blocks.
