yea, now that i've thought about it, i realize that's likely what happened. thanks guys.

yea, static payment.
pool is showing 314ghash
current payout 0.0000

and no payment is listed for my address.

but now i know where to check. thanks.

that is indeed the case. i'm sure it doesn't help this isn't a dedicated miner... ok, well, i'll stopp worrying about it then. thanks.

hey guys.

so i've been using p2pool fine for a couple weeks now with my meager, just for the heck of it 80m/hash, but for reasons beyond me, on the 14th it stopped actually generating payments. p2pool's still running, ufasoft miner's running (via gui miner, for cuda mining on my nividia (it's what i have for now.)) and both appear as though all is well... any ideas?

i will gladly post screenshots and such if need be, but as i said, it appears as though it's all working. i don't think there were any changes to the system since then either.

i'll take 30

thanks for all the info guys. i'll consider it more as a supplmental income then... which is, of course, always good. that is assumign the math with my power cost works out. until then the PC i use can keep up it's mining.

interesting. well, clearly it warrants further research then. also, looking more at the x6500's then the bfl's, i think. better power draw.

so i've been reading the mining forum here for a good long while, and i just want to verify something: it seems to me with the right rig setup, namely a few fpgas, it would be quite possible to make enough to comfortably live off, meaning like 2000 USD a month.

yes, at $100 a month (as i saw mentioned for a BFL single are current prices, approximately anyway) that would be 20 fpgas... but buy one, wait 6 months until it earns enough to buy a second, wait 3 months, buy a third, etc... in theory within, say, 1.5 years or so you could be set, off of just the initial FPGA purchase.

am i right that this is possible, and people are making a living as a bit coin miner, or am i blind and stupid and missed something obvious?
