Why not boot it up with a live-cd, install openssh-server on it. Create an account and let me (or someone else) have a stab at it?
Since I don't know what you've done to the machine I can't say if it can be resurrected or not, but I haven't yet found a Linux-machine that I haven't been able to bring back, except for HW-faults or when they've deleted all data (or encrypted and lost the key).
Granted it's much easier if you're sitting next to the machine, but it should be possible to do remote.
I have 10yrs of high-performance unix/linux experience so I'm not trying to decieve you here.

Here's my suggestion.
Get someone to fix/reinstall your machine.
Have them write down EXACTLY what they're doing. Step by step.
Have someone else review those instructions so that they don't do anything malicious.
Follow those instructions and reinstall the machine yourself.

At the end of the day you'll have a functional machine with no backdoors. :-)

Good luck.

Oh please.
If socialism is such an hell on earth, why are the scandinavian countries so successful? How many Norwegian re-education camps have you seen? How many political prisoners are there in Sweden? How many Finns are taken away and shot by the secret police?

Socialism has its share of problems, but so does the anarcho-capitalism that people here seem to love so much.
Want to experience the result of a weak government? Go to Somalia.

I believe that a free market needs to be regulated to be efficient. How much is a matter of opinion.
IMHO a complete laissez-faire economy would be catastrophic for the large majority. As would a planned economy.

That was meant for me?
I wish you the best of luck helping out. Do let me know if you need my assistance. I'll do my best.

I can not take credit for this, but there's an excellent tutorial here:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3359.msg47174#msg47174

If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll try to help out in a more personal way.

What OS is s/he using? I might be able to help with Linux.

If there's a slot left I'll take it.
Let me know if I should sign up or not.

Greedier people will invest their bitcoins. People who want a safe investment will just hold onto them.

Perhaps.
Although my university studies wasn't en economics, I did manage to pick up a thing or two from those classes.
The big problem with a deflationary economic model is that your money will be worth more tomorrow, we all know this, and this does works as a break for the economy, right.

Very few people will risk their money if they don't have to. There will be some, but most investments will cease.
Most consumers will "wait" with their purchases of the non essential things. Everything will be cheaper tomorrow.
Business will fail since people won't buy there, or they will downsize. Investors will see this and hold on to their money harder. More business will fail to get funding and end up in trouble.

From an environmental perspective it might not be bad if people held on to their stuff longer, but economically it's quite bad.
If you have a different truth I'd love to hear it, but in essence this is mainstream economics, and it does seem quite reasonable.

Wait!, what?

So, just how am I going to get anyone to accept a pay-cut?
From a employees perspective, a round of deflation is just like a raise. Just keep the current salary and you get to buy more stuff with the same amount. I don't see why anyone would agree to a pay-cut.

And as an investor, why should I take a risk and invest my money in any business if I get "safe interest" by doing nothing?

I like bitcoin, and I think it has potential as an internet currency, but I doubt it'll be a major player in the financial market.

Are you sure that this is "your" block?

Time?: 2010-04-04 06:12:57

Looks like a very old block to me.

I had the same problem. Solved by adding --host and removing http:// in the cmd-line.
So --host mining.bitcoin.cz --port XXXX (can't remember the port, but you get the idea).

idk what are the best setting for a 4650, but have you tried vectors? (-v)

Yeah, tried -v. Won't go over 20Mhash/s with that. So far 23-24 is as high as I get.

I got my ATI 4650 working but I only get about 23 Mhash/s. According to some tests my card should be able to to about 33Mhash/sec. I use -w32 and -f 10 as switches.
The "missing" 10Mhash, is that a result of mining in a pool, or can I do something to increase it?

Too bad, but thanks for a quick reply.

Hi.
I have a laptop with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD installed. Is it possible to use this for mining? A cpu-miner on this machine does about 4 Mhash/s. I assume GMA would do better than that.
I've searched the forum but not seen anything about it.

How much bandwidth is required per client?

Can I still add workers? Or do I have to substitute an old cpu worker if I manage to get a gpu working?

Wouldn't it make more sense to get Bitcoin to work within any of the existing anonymous networks?
If you could use Bitcoins to pay for things in those networks I think you have a winner.

I didn't mean to hijack the thread though so I'll just leave you be. But if you know anything about projects of that kind, feel free to let me know.

How about ATI 4650? Would that help me mine some coins? How many Mhash could I expect from a card like that? The computer is fairly old with just 1GB of memory in it and about 2GHz of CPU. It's my old desktop...

Right, it's not 4khash, its 4000khash.

A whole day and not a single share found for me. I think this pool is not for us small miners anymore. 4khash is obviously not worth anything.
Shame, but fun while it lasted.
