MSIAfterburner.cfg:

Set it like this:

[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA   = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode   = 1


Then you set the settings, close it, reopen it, and it lets you adjust more.

I had to do this a few times to get 300 MHz on the memory clock.

There's a strong possibility it will go up or down over the coming days, and a smaller chance it may stay the same.

Sounds like it should be a Churchill quote, were he still alive!

One could argue that if you carry more physical coins, when you drive to the store, you use slightly more gas, and it takes more gas to go from the store to the bank when they cash out.

Who is selling things for 0.001 BTC?  Do you really think the transaction fee would stay at 0.01 if it were $1000 for 1 BTC?

Fancy lawyer latin talk aside, transaction fees even when paid by the seller, are ALWAYS transferred to the buyer, directly or indirectly.  This is economics 101.

the downside of a decentralized currency is there is no central authority to regulate transactions   It will grow in time though.

I remember once from years ago when I actually used to use PayPal, that if you were sent a package, even if the stuff was completely broken you couldn't get your money back from the seller.

So what if you're selling BTC to someone, and they want to pay via PayPal?  I was thinking you could mail them a USB stick or DVD or something with the BTC on them, hang on to the tracking number, and use that as your proof on PayPal if they tried to overturn it?

Any thoughts?  I still hate PayPal and have used it maybe once in the last two years, but I'm thinking there's a lot I'll need to do via PayPal if I want to get equipment off of ebay, etc.

What's the exchange rate for Wooden Nickels per Paypal Dollar these days?

PayPal is the devil if you're a seller.

*nix fanboyism aside, the bitcoin hardware guide doesn't seem to show an appreciable difference in speed for Windows vs *nix, so I would suggest if you're a "noob" stick to windows.

Now, had you taken that 1 BTC, held on to it for another couple of days, and sold it, you would have ended up with 5-15$ profit.  Thus 90 cents is sort of irrelevant at that point.  Or, if you had spent exactly 1 BTC you bought at $18 for something that costs $40 USD, the 5% BTC wouldn't have mattered either.

I'd be hesitant to buy anything from somebody who can't read that they're posting something for sale in the "buying" forum

awesomely simple explanation.  Very helpful.

How much did you pay for that 1 bitcoin?  And how much did you sell it for?  Did you sell it for more or less than 8.15% above what you paid for it?

I see it differently... If someone said "I will pay you $97 a month, guaranteed, if you do this work" versus "If you work for me, you'll get either $100 or $0, and you won't know which", I'd rather invest the $3 in a guaranteed paycheck.

I'm more of an investor type than a casino type, but that doesn't mean my way is right.  Just right for me

I have something even stranger now... I have 1 GPU connecting with no issue, and the other one can't connect.  Very strange.

Getting 390 MH/s with 925 core/300 memory right now... temperature looks like it will stay at 80C or below.  Going to let it run for a bit and stabilize before I tweak any more.

MSI Afterburner worked a treat.  A little less user friendly than I'd like at first, but nothing I couldn't figure out with a little extra effort

Connection seems to be going up and down, as well as network hashrate... I think if this is the case, some sort of script should be implemented on the server side, that if someone with no login tries to connect with the same IP a certain # of times, they should get blacklisted.  That will sort out who is a miner and who is doing the DDoS.

If you're worried about losing value in your BTC wallet, just sell quietly.  If you tell EVERYBODY its going down, you won't get as much back.

Thus, there are two forms of logic for a post like this:

1.) Trying to drive price down to buy
2.) Mild to moderate retardation, and/or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

well with one of my two cards running at 91 degrees c, my primary focus right now is getting the temp down.  I want to make some money for a bit, then I can start to fine tune my scripts, etc.

I have two ATI brand 5870s.  I'm getting a fairly stead 640-700MH/s right now with totally stock settings, and aggression between 7 and 11.  While running hot, the temps have been stable at least.  I also have two cards stacked directly on top of each other, which isn't exactly ideal.

Aside from Trixx, does anyone else have any suggestions for overclocking tools for Radeon?  I've used RivaTuner back in my nvidia days
