Everyone is talking about profitability, but there are conditions where having a high end video card is still not profitable. I'm not paying for electricity, so profit would be 100%. However I don't believe (or can't find anything leading me to believe otherwise) that this video card supports OpenCL. Also, I have numerous computers and was just starting with one. My final goal would be to run multiple computers in parallel (meaning virtually parallel, like a computer cluster) and see how much improvement is seen, as well as having them all mine individually to see how that compares to the computer cluster. So profit is not really a big goal here as much as having fun with it.

hello, I'm fairly new to mining, but I have done it before. this time I plan to optimize mining for my GPU. I have a ATI HD4530, which is a laptop GPU, but is comparable to the Desktop 4350. I understand it is a low end card, however it still should calculate hashes much faster than the CPU. My current problem is that when running poclbm-gui I only get around 1Mhash/s, and under device it only shows Intel Core 2 Duo. I'm assuming this means that hashes are being calculated with the CPU and not GPU. I do not have any other choices in the device options, and I do have openCL installed, but it does not have the GPU as a device. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison says that the 4350 should be able to get around 6 Mhash/s, however I can't get my GPU to do the calculations. Anyone have any advice or help?

Old computer equipment is for mining silly! 

That is what I am doing. I am offering my account for trade, however I do not know if anyone is interested in this type of thing, and if so, is there a better place to post it than here? Or am I at the right place?

Hello, I hope I am not doing anything wrong by making this post, but since I am new to bitcoin I must post here. I am looking to invest in bitcoin however I don't want to have any real money involved until I am more comfortable with it. The only thing I have to offer is an account from an MMORPG called Runescape. I haven't played the game in forever, and it seemed like there was some possible interest in general in the internet for trading online game accounts for bitcoins. I do not know what the secure way of doing this is, but if it is a hassle, I don't really mind as these bitcoins interest me and I don't care much about the account. The account has a pretty decent character on it with a lot of items. However it is not a member account. Does anyone have any interest in this type of thing?
