When all bitcoins are mined...
This will happen around a hundred years from now, by the way.

but will it still be profitable all the way up to that mark?  Or will the miners drop out much sooner than that?

Not a W7 issue, using it right now (64bit) and with nvidia 8800gt (cuda) and no khash drops when in background.

I thought he meant that the ATI Streaming SDK v 2.1 didn't take on his Windows 7 box.  I had the same problem with 2.1 and 2.2, which is why I'm running 2.3.

I'm getting about 295M with a 6970.  Anyone doing better with a 6970?
24  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: python OpenCL bitcoin miner on: January 15, 2011, 06:19:30 AM
Everything is running great here except when I play a video my computer crashes.  I'm running a Radeon 6970 and as soon as I click on a video (youtube, etc) etc I get a hard lock.  If I turn off poclbm.exe no problems with the videos.  Has anyone had a similar experience?

I have exactly the same issue as you described: a complete freeze of all Windows (running Vista 64bit), not even ctrl-alt-del working anymore. And I suspect everything from Adobe: not only flash player but even opening a PDF in Acrobat Reader causes my system to freeze.

I had an ATI 4870 before which didn't show this problem.


Me too.  I have an ATI HD 6970 in a Windows 7 box.  Even at standard clock speeds, if I bring up a youtube video, the screen freezes and I can no longer toggle keyboard lights. iTunes still plays, but I haven't tested network services or anything yet.  Maybe there is some chance I could RDP into it, but I doubt it.

It's really annoying having to remember what not to do, but oh well.  I'm just waiting for the crashing to finally cause a problem with my 4 x SSD RAID 0.

I'm also finding that SDK v2.1 just isn't happening for me.  I removed all ATI related apps, used Driver Sweeper to clean up the remnants, and then went with the 12.10a hotfix + ATI Stream SDK v2.1.  When I run poclbm.exe, it gives the same error message it gives when the Stream SDK isn't installed at all.

I also tried this on a laptop with an ATI HD 5730 in it.  Same thing with poclbm not recognizing the Stream SDK v2.1.  Am I missing some step to get it working?  v2.3 works just fine for me, it's just that I'm assuming in light of people saying to run 2.1, that I would get more performance out of it.  I'm getting 290mhash/s right now by overclocking it to 920mhz.  Any higher seems to just crash it. I was a little too busy to tweak with it right now, so I haven't messed with the the memory clock or voltage much yet.

well, I got my 1btc finally... after three weeks of collaborative mining. I think I'm out, doesn't seem worth it to burn my cpus that hard. Smiley

It's not really worth it if you're using actual CPUs instead of GPUs.

The authorities use youtube for propaganda and stifle truth there, so I really doubt they will be shutting it down anytime soon.
27  Other / Off-topic / Re: Former CIA Director proposes Presidential kill switch for Internet on: September 29, 2010, 05:54:32 PM
How could something like this possibly protect anything?

Shouldn't there just be a kill switch on sensitive systems?  i.e. a way to disconnect systems being attacked.

I'm a network manager.  We have redundancy and security for a reason.  We don't turn the whole freaking company communications off just because we're getting DOSed or hacked.

How could this be considered anything but another step towards a police state?  The govt needs to stop gaining new ways to silence the public.
28  Other / Off-topic / Re: U.S. Wants to Make It Easier to Wiretap the Internet on: September 28, 2010, 09:00:10 PM
So all of the real criminals utilizing the internet, the ones who are already encrypting or coding messages in a way that they will not be cracked, will continue to do so just fine, business as usual.  But for everyone else who has no idea how to do such a thing, they lose freedom, privacy, and security.

The general citizens of a country aren't the ones who cause problems with the country, yet the privacy of general citizens continues to decrease.
As the privacy of citizens decreases, the corruption of government increases.

The officials of a country are the ones who cause problems with the country, yet their privacy continues to increase.
As the privacy of officials increases, the corruption of government increases. ( I understand the impact of big business, but big business gets away with things because of the corruption of officials. )

Government shouldn't be an empire building privilege.  It should be a sacrifice.  The thing being sacrificed should at least be the privacy that allows government officials to continue ruining the country.  We don't need surveillance on the common citizen.  We need surveillance on the actual people causing problem.  Every government email, phone call, penny spent, closed doors meeting, internet traffic, all should be totally exposed and available.  If the exposure of some system or approach endangers the freedom of the citizenry, then a plan to move off that system needs to be developed.  Citizens shouldn't fear their government, and they shouldn't be in the dark constantly about what the corruption of their government is carrying out.

A plaque needs to hang in every government building, in every room that says something along the lines of:

Quote
Privacy is freedom.
Freedom is security.

I consider the impact on the citizens of the United States before I take any action.
I consider the impact on the citizens of the United States before I support any legislation.
The reason my occupation exists is to protect the freedom of the citizens of the United States.

The greater good is a pursuit to keep freedom intact.

So what is it that breaks this approach to government?  Is it the fact that other governments are corrupt too and will just take advantage of it?  Are we afraid of other governments stealing weapon technology and using it against us?

If the cost of  protecting weapon technology is to operate a government that will inevitably lead to police state, is it really worth it?

People need to stop supporting this crap.

I don't have any reason to mock you, but I do wonder why you find nationality such an important factor.
Hetalia fan?

never heard of that

I don't have any reason to mock you, but I do wonder why you find nationality such an important factor.

Sub-groups are a huge overall benefit to mankind. They allow the world as a whole to try many different solutions to any given problem. It is an "evolutionary" solution that is incredibly undervalued by some other sub-groups. Namely Venus/Zeitgeist type groups that think the world would be much better if everyone would just get along by doing things the way our group wants them to. You never here these types say, the world would be much better if I just did what that group wants me to.

I highly value the existence of sub-groups they make the world a much better place. I like to go and visit other sub-groups learn about them and borrow/steal their good ideas. I also like to leave their bad ideas behind.

But just because the existence of different sub-groups in an absolute good, does not imply that every sub-group is equally good, or espouses equally valid opinions. It is very important to be able to compare and contrast groups, so we can borrow/share good ideas and leave behind the poor ones.

Nationalities are important sub-groups to use in examples because many people can understand your point in few words. It is completely accurate in many cases to say, "Americans are so..." because we are. You know that, and sometimes we even know it. :-) 

It should go without saying that, there exist Americans that are not... but sometimes humor does not translate well between different languages. On a forum it is always good to point out when you are deliberately being silly.

In my case, I was referring to a really old joke that many Europeans seem to know. It goes in one variation:

"Heaven is where the police are English, the cooks are French, the engineers are German, the lovers are Italian, and everything is organized by the Swiss.

In Hell, the police are German, the cooks are English, the engineers are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians."

Hence my reference to their replacing perceived bad French engineering with perceived good German engineering. At the expense of people worrying about German policing.

Cheers!

The way I heard that joke was, in heaven the british great you, the french cook, the italians provide the entertainment, and the germans keep things running smoothly.  And in hell, the french greet you, the british cook, the germans provide the entertainment, and the italians keep things running smoothly.  I had never heard it with the addition of the swiss.

The longer this thread goes on, the more stale the pledges are going to be as people forget or leave the community.

I propose someone swiftly volunteer to be the escrow, and get people to donate their pledge. If people don't trust the escrow in question, please speak up.

10 acknowledgement from other users will make the volunteer the official EFF escrow person.

How about you Kiba?

I'd do it but I only have 10 posts here.

Thanks again for your release, is great.

A question. Why in the Help->About ....    says is 3.4.0 version??

Also, this release, have the bitcoin generation broken error Huh?

THANKS again

It sounds like you are still running the x86 Bitcoin.exe executable from from like C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin.
Try C:\Program Files\Bitcoin .  If C: was even your target drive.

So now they're saying to wait for 0.3.6 and that important changes haven't been committed to SVN yet.
37  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin x64 for Windows on: July 29, 2010, 06:28:45 PM
hitting nearly 2700 khash/s on my Core i7 720QM now.  It might actually reach that high if I didn't have so much stuff running.
38  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin x64 for Windows on: July 29, 2010, 05:01:47 PM
running the new 64bit build
my Core i7 720QM Win7 work laptop, while running all kinds of work tools, is getting about 2500 khash/s
my Core i7 965 with Win7 at home gets about 5100 khash/s (oops I lied, I haven't ran this one at home yet.  Running the previous version, will update tonight)

the script works fine.
only one problem, when bc crashes, windows puts up a box asking do i want to close the program and search for a solution online, or just close the program.
is there any way of bypassing this? because the script comes to a halt while this box is waiting for input from me.

If you're using Windows 7:

Control Panel
(If your Control Panel is in noob Category mode, go to System and Security)
Action Center
Change Action Center settings
Problem reporting Settings
Never Check for solutions (not recommended)

otherwise, go google it with your OS + "disable error reporting"
