Sadly I too had to switch away from deepbit. Too big of a pain constantly keeping an eye on the miners making sure that they haven't stalled because of connection issues requiring a manual restart. Switched over to bitcoins.lc and in the last 24 hours have mined nearly 2 bitcoins vs the 1 bitcoin per day I could mine on deepbit. Not regretting the switch at all now. Also, no fees either on bitcoins.lc. No where near as good of a website, but damn I can't argue with the results.

Ok, call me blind but I've had to reinstall windows and need to setup my miner again, but for the life of me I cant find your miner config settings anywhere on your site? As a suggestion, perhaps you could put the host and port number etc under where we get our worker settings?

i dont care. good luck finding the card somewhere else that will ship nextday.
Believe me I don't care either. A 6990 for $1500 will pay for itself in what, like a year? If that? |

Time to rally and get a nice high selling price for me.

Basically yes. You want to have the fastest possible hash rate so that you can collect as many bitcoins as possible before the difficulty increases. As soon as the difficulty increases, its basically the same as taking 40% of your video cards and throwing them away.

So basically $1500 in cash or $2000 worth in bitcoins? Which translates to 2x retail for cash and nearly 3x retail for bitcoins. Sounds like a good deal.

What 5830's are you using? I can't seem to squeeze that much out of mine. I haven't set up MSI afterburner yet....
What 5830 do you have? I have the Sapphire 5830 that was 110 on newegg a week ago, and I am getting 306Mhash/s out of mine, but I have gotten it as high as 315Mhash/s. Don't want to push it though so I run it only at 306Mash/s 24/7. Stock voltage Using Sapphire Trixx software, overclocked to 1010mhz memory underclocked to 300mhz Running about 56c at full load. |

I don't think there is going to be an early mainstream phase. I think it jumps right from early adopters into a place where only people who have spent tens of thousands on rigs can mine bitcoins at any sort of a acceptable rate. I think by mid summer the difficulty will be so high that a large percentage of miners will quit, but a majority of the computing power will stay because its concentrated among a few "power" miners.

If the US wanted to be stealthy, they would just include a bunch of the native currency in the briefcase with the internet supplies. Not too stealthy having to convert bitcoins into native currency and then deposit them in a bank account.

I am pushing 660Mhash/s with my two cards now, but will probably only be mining for 1 more difficulty increase. With the bitcoin market as volatile as it is right now, there is so much more profit to be made buying low and selling high. And I expect the difficulty increases to be MASSIVE, so that basically only the people who went all out are making any money off of it.

Was working for me about a half hour ago when I used it as a backup for bitcoins.lc.

I think the market will initially tumble on monday and then rally back very strong in the afternoon.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh boy, thats not going to be good for the market tomorrow most likely.
|
|
|
|

I hope it stays volatile. A lot of money to be made in markets that swing wildly, especially with how predictable the swings are.

Is it even profitable at all to mine with the CPU? With the possible reduction in life to the CPU, electricity costs ad the fact that your computer is now semi useless, I don't think its worth it. Assuming you have the latest quad core from AMD/Intel, you are gonna pull maybe 20Mhash/s. That would net you 5 dollars at the current price at the end of a week of mining, and it won't even be that because the difficulty is set to go up in a couple days. When the difficulty goes up, a week of mining with the LATEST quad core would net you bout three fitty at the current market price. Absolutely not worth it.

Exactly. Realistically you are looking at probably several months before you get a block at that rate. A pool will give give you instant results starting today and will trickle in bitcoins over the same period allowing you to use them.
|

|
|
|
Are you trying to mine in a pool or solo mine? I would suggest a pool and you have to specify to phoenix the pool.

You could take a single monitor and plug it into the first card, start the miner and then plug it into the second card and start that miner, etc. But you would have to do that each time you restarted the miners. Would save a bit of money though.

Sounds like a good way to ruin an expensive computer. What are your temps looking like? I can't imagine the iMac is:
A) Getting you any kind of respectable hash rate
B) Capable of venting the heat created of mining

Its really simple. Uninstall all of your drivers for your 6850.
reboot
install the newest ENTIRE catalyst package including the driver.
reboot
it will show up and work perfectly.
