poclbm.exe is probably a better miner if you want to mine solo but I have never tried mining solo with it so I don't really know. If you download poclbm.exe I should be able to help you set up a solo mining operation.
P.S. I'm not on very often but will help when i can.
P.P.S. Have added -server to the target?
P.P.P.S I'm not sure that still works with the new version 0.3.21-beta

I would to start mining in a pool but I only want to do it if it is anonymous. How do I set up guiminer to run through tor? I heard that it requires a second program but I don't know what it is, where to get it or how to configure it.  Thanks for any information you could give me!  |

1: With miners each virtually owning supercomputers with regards to bitcoin, far fewer miners are needed to drive the difficulty way up.
2: Because mining requires fewer people to drive the difficulty up, bitcoins are distributed to fewer miners.
3: Because fewer miners receive bitcoins, fewer people are able to get them the easy way.
4: With fewer people receiving bitcoins directly and the bulk of them going to so few, they are seen as objects of curiosity, and not objects of opportunity by would be cpu miners.
5: There needs to be a solution to get bitcoins in the hands of more people.
6: Am I missing anything?
1: That's not really true except for when GPU mining first became available, but I won't argue the point because it is irrelevant to my argument. 2: No, the person or persons who invested in the mining rig is getting a slightly larger reward than before for strengthening the network which is something anyone can do by investing in some hardware. 3: The EASY way?! It's easy right now compared to what bitcoins were designed to become. Besides mining is just a small aspect of bitcoin which is designed to distribute bitcoins to people who are willing to spend the time, money, and effort to strengthen the bitcoin network. 4: The opportunity is in buying some bitcoins and getting into the bitcoin community before it really takes off. Bitcoin is not about earning dollars, its about starting a whole new currency based upon some simple, time-honored, and proven principles. 5: If the people really want to mine bitcoins, they can use there current graphics card and join a pool. Otherwise they can buy some, or get some from the bitcoin faucet. But the best way for anyone to get any type of money is not to have it given to them, but to EARN it. 6: YES, Bitcoin is NOT centered on mining, you are missing the whole point of Bitcoin. Sorry if this sounds a little harsh, but I wanted to get my point across. cbeast still has not responded to my answer. I'm rather disappointed, I was looking forward to a rousing debate. I guess I scared him off with my superior debate skills.  |

I've had similar experiences where I restarted the client because it would not connect and it almost immediately showed connections . I would love to see if someone had an explanation for this phenomenon.  |

I believe it is 8, let me double check, yep 8. Still 8. I'm sensing a drop to 7, nope still 8, maybe it will rise to 9, drat still 8  . Hey look it's 8  ! 8,8,8,8, 8,8,8,8, I'm seeing double quadruple! Ahh! I'm thinking in factors of 8!! Anyway it's still 8. That is an indication that you can initiate connections, but any other peer trying to contact you is blocked. It's harmless, anyway. Updated my client so I could have less than 8 connections  . |

It appears, when the person trying to split the money he/she never even considers to give the other person more than himself/herself. Like in a 49.999/50.001 split. There are obvious motives for this, but what would the your reaction be if someone offered you a bigger share of the cut? I personally would first believe I was being scammed double check and triple check the circumstances then take the money cautiously while wondering what in the world this guy/girl is thinking.

I'm going to invest in a massive worldwide education campaign to teach people the difference between your and you're! Doun't fourget their, there, and they're. And maybye 1 too taech poeplo to spel withoot spelchechk and use prooper gramer I wood eaven doughnate to hellp thouse poeplo les fourtunate than mesellf. I'd buy a Motorcycle, purchase a bunch of land, build a house which is designed to need very little electricity, pay for flying lessons and buy a nice plane to go along with my personal landing field. |

I have a nice shiny 114 connections. What did you change to allow you to get more than eight connections? Open the 8333 port How do I do that while going through TOR? |

Transaction was successful. Current-C's silver selling business is legitimate.

Oops typo 1 964 Also I like BitCoin for the technology and haven't come across a good name for the official client. Dropping the 's' makes about as much sense to me as saying "That cost me 14 dollar".
I'm in complete agreement. |

Exactly. It's cleaner.

Too clean, if you haven't read 1864 you need to(of course I could list 50* other books you need to read for one reason or another)**. Besides I like bitcoins.
I'm not saying this is a horrible idea I just prefer bitcoins.
*This is NOT an exaggeration
**Hence my name BookLover

are you guys serious?
I bid 10 btc
How dare you more than triple my bid  !! Now I have to go find a way to get more bitcoins  . |
|
|
|

I bid 10.00000001 bitcoins(10 bitcoins and a satoshi)
|
|
|
|
Is this an auction? If it is I bid a Satoshi , Alright I bid 1 bitcoin. If not please list a price. |

At this point all that can be done is extrapolation and guessing for difficulty jumps. The probability of the network continues to grow at 20-40% every 10-14 days is very small. Right now it can and will happen due to the small / new nature of BitCoin, but that kind of growth simply can't be sustained for a long period of time . Eventually you'd hit the point where your rate of growth is faster than the speed at which new computing power is created on the assembly lines.
I think (and hope) that the network speed levels out to a gradual growth rate in a few more months (so probably around 500-600k difficulty), at which point the growth would likely be linear rather than exponential.
Fine!! Fine!!!! I said it was just an estimate. Here is the equation at 6.5 blocks per hour. shesh 210,000(when the change occurs) - 123,203(current block) = 86797(blocks left) 86797 / 6.5(average blocks per hour*) / 24(hours in a day) = 556(days till change) 556 / 30(days in a month) = 18.55(months left till change) 556 / 365(days in a year) = 1.524(years to change) Here is a precise answer to your question assuming the average rate is seven blocks an hour from now(5-10-2011, Bedtime for a normal person in the U.S..A) till the change. Hope this helped you ! *6.5 blocks an hour is an estimate, if you find a more informed prediction just plug it into the equation above along with the current block number for a more precise answer. |
