thanks guys. because i am on a budget, i'll likely go with AMD hardware. newegg is having some nice prices on that anyway. thanks.

The problem with taking action is that we really don't know how much BTC each person is waiting on, because their database has been screwed up.
Either that or, I have quarter of a million USD of bitcoin waiting to pay out. I really doubt that is likely, because I have always squirreled away any coins from pools as soon as I reached payout thresholds. Unless you were somehow keeping your own records of your mining and expected payouts, I dont see how this would work, and even then that is most likely not evidence that could be used in any legal action.
Agreed. I know I am owed about 0.05, but there isn't anyway to prove that. |

Fortuna, of course  Eris. Discordianism gives a unique insight into Bitcoin and you'd be surprised how much the law of fives helps with TA. i knew i liked you richy. |

got it. thanks guys.
and i can't find one of my my mobo's, or one that uses the same socket as my processor, available. so, replace.

so having determined my motherboard to be on it's last legs, i'm browsing for replacements ahead of black friday deals and see that AMD processor/motherboard combos are significantly cheaper then Intel. it's been a long time since i've researched this stuff, so i wanted to ask opinions of the knowledgeable techies here.
i'm currently running an asus p7pssd-e mobo with intel core i7 860 proc and 8 gigs ram. looking to replace all three and basically all i care about is not losing preformance. i'm a gamer and 3d modeler, but i have a decent vid card already. (well, it's ok... not critical replacement, at least.)
so, amd processors? what about other mobo brands like gigabyte or MSI? ram thoughts?

The highly secure blockchain is the right medium for small transfers. You will have to have the possibility to buy every day stuff with your smartphone with bitcoin, or it will die. Period. Off-the-chain is the most stupid shit I heard the last weeks.
Everybody is talking about regulations, senate hearings, peeing their pants whether the Chinese will accept bitcoins or whatever. But the real thread are the users/speculators who think you have to have the whole blockchain in your pocket.
Bitcoin has the ultimate chance to replace visa etc..
7 Billion people with 1-5 transactions a day, that should be the goal of bitcoin.
If this is not going to be implemented the next months I will sell out and watch one of the greatest projects in our time die.
Guys, you heard it from [Date Registered: November 15, 2013, 01:22:48 PM], show's over. See you at the next Ponzi. Yea, here I have been buying bitcoins since 2011 thinking it would be the future of money and then this guy appears out of no where and totally blows my mind and makes me realize that it's all over, it will die if it can't facilitate 7 billion people in the next months. Man, how things can change. well, he's not totally batshit - i mean, the transaction limit IS an issue. the solution is complex though, obviously. |

Is your pc getting heated? Did you checked temperatures etc.
not noticeably. the air coming out (there's fans on the side and top in addition to the usual front and back) are pushing colder air then the ambient. |

hmmm is not downloading any data  same, stream data seems halted, but restarting mine did collect the historical data from the missing time... |

yea, seems likely based on further research, and nothing else makes any sense.
well, i wanted to build a new PC anyway...

i think can you do a memtest.. that's a good place to start. i forgot how to load it, but you do it before loading windows i think.
there are tools to test your SSD drive too (at least it came with my kingston SSD).
if you can single out the cause of the BSOD, you could possibly qualify for the warranty/RMA too.
also: could it be that you are drawing too much power from your PSU? what brand, wattage, and is it 80 plus?
checked the ram, it's fine. ssd is my next guess, psu i'll have to check on. but i've been running the same PSU the entire time i've had this PC, so unless it's recently less capable i doubt that's it. PSUs are known to die out after a few years of use, i believe. if you have been a miner for a long time, it could be just that. it IS the original PSU, from... what, 2010, when i built her as my gaming pc? and it HAS been on near constantly for... uh... well, yea. hmm. |

oh, right. it's just bfgminer.exe -G -S all
Hmmm. On win7x64 with intel chipset (laptop) and a workstation with AMD GPU's, that worked fine, well, I had to put a server/username/passwd also. I dont have a machine with nvidia gpu to test on. Are you using the 64bit or 32bit bfgminer. Neither of my machines will work with the 64bit, but the 32bit starts up fine. I like the 3.5.2 version best. I went back to 3.5.2 as somewhere in these posts, wizkid Luke jr mentioned that the 3.5.2 was the stable and 3.6.0 was the latest testing, or something to that effect. EDIT NOTE: mixed up reference to user might be 64 bit... i'll try dropping back to suggested version. |

sounds like your copy of windows 7 is bad, or you might have hardware failure. for hardware, i'm not 100% certain what leads to BSOD, but it could be anything: cpu, motherboard, power supply, ram, or your ssd.
maybe install another copy of an o/s.. any kind, and use it for a few days.. if you still get BSOD, it's more likely hardware than software.
installed windows 7 from my own personal copy AND a friends. problem persists. shit. |

having some problems with bfgminer 3.6.0, windows 7 x64.
after a fresh windows install it was fine, but after i installed my nvidia video driver and rebooted, bfgminer no longer launches, either outright freezing (and not allowing the window to be closed, even with ctrl alt del) or throwing the following error:
Failed to connect in util.c notifier_init():2686: The operation completed successfully.
after which it exits.
thoughts?
Its hard to tell without knowing what your startup command looks like. Can you list it for us to see? Is it trying to start GPU mining? Add the "-G" to stop it. oh, right. it's just bfgminer.exe -G -S all |

hey guys. since this is the most technically knowledgable group of people i know, thought i'd ask about my current PC issues here.
this is windows 7 x64 running on an SSD. nvidia geforce 560 graphics, intel core7 860 proc, 8 gigs ram.
started a few weeks ago not installing windows updates correctly. would crash or not complete, requiring manual reboots. noticed blue screes eventually, which as far as i've been able to see always throw "bugcode_usb_driver" errors. reinstalled windows, things seemed fine for a couple weeks until i was installing the latest updates and the bluescreen returned.
that was a few days ago. i've been reinstalling (and formating the driver and such) multiple times since, installing from a different disc, plugging in usb items one by one, etc. first thought it was my samsung galaxy s4, as when i plugged it in, the driver failed to install. but now it's doing it again, and on this install, i never plugged in the phone!
note i DO have 47 USB block Erupters plugged in through 5 anker hubs (and one directly to the mobo) these have been functioning fine using bfgminer until just now. i'd been mining while i updated everything the last time (everything EXCEPT windows. this is stock sp1) but when i rebooted after installing the video drivers, while the PC is ok (though it hangs on logging off windows) bfgminer refuses to run, and wont even close...
obviously, i'm less concerned about the mining hardware then i am about the PC in general.
i'm at a complete loss here. seems to me it must be hardware, but i'm unsure how to diagnose, sicne the bluescreen (what i assume to be the core issue) has occured at various times, including moving my mouse or typing on my keyboard (both USB) and while doing nothing at all.
anyone have any thoughts or ideas? any help is highly welcome.
god i hope it isn't the mobo... i can't afford to replace it.

A bit off topic, but what's the best way to get USD into any of the exchanges quickly*? I used to use bitinstant but that's down. Wires all seem to take 10 days. I need some capital ready to soak up the blood bath the fastest way would be to go offer PPUSD for bitcoin in the trading forum. well, they could also go to virwox.com and use their paypal (or most debit/credit cards, but not AMEX) to deposit money there, but SLL, then exchange the SLL to BTC and withdraw the BTC. only takes a few minutes. not sure what the fees are though. haven't done it since the 100's. |
