No, the scammer still controls casascius.net, and did that redirect, and is asking me for a ransom. Attacker could change it anytime.
Offer him 50 bucks for the domain. I know it only cost him $8 or so, but it would be worth it to you to have control of the domain. Also buy the .org version asap and redirect it to your main site. |

A freeroll means I make a new round type, or?
Or you can bet on one of the existing rounds. |

Can the spammers not write a bot to easily get around it? but the real users have to suffer.
IMHO, you can automate just about everything concerning computers. |

Here's to hoping it comes back soon.

What is the exact response you get from the server?

Paid out  Awesome! Now I hope I don't lose it. |

Thanks, I'll try to snag those links out of Google cache. |

There is only one way this will work. - Determined Paypal payment sent as a gift
- Pre-determined small amount of BTC sent to wallet
- You'll have to wait 4-5 business days for paypal withdraw to take place
- Remaining sum of BTC sent after withdraw
If you want someone to take a leap of faith, that is the way. I sell to a few people and even though we have had good transaction in the past, this is till the only way I will conduct business through paypal. Its just too risky. You want someone to trust you, you're going to have to trust them. Just stumbled upon this. I'd like to get my hands on a small amount of bitcoin to play with, about 3 to 5 BTC. If you have a few BTC to sell via Paypal, I'll take you up on it. PM me with the exact terms/price. I assume you'll want to sell a little higher than the MTGox exchange rate due to the risk. (PM sent as well) |

However, I will say that there is absolutely no reason anybody should be CPU mining at this time. Even with free electricity, you will wear out your components faster, especially on a laptop. You're essentially trading months/years of use of your laptop for pennies.
Fair observation. At this point I'm only mining to learn how to do it. I'll have to get a GPU or three if I decide to get serious about this. Pretty much, except for really long blocks, hence the reason to use small PPS pool.
Thanks. I will look for a small pool to play around in. |

So what you're saying is even if I *do* solve one or two shares an hour, they will be stale/worthless, since the block will already have been solved? Makes sense.
And just to confirm what you already though, my 4200 series card is not supported from all the research I've been able to do.

Good job DiThi! Now how about instructions like this to install a miner?  (pretty please?) |

I was getting 1.42MHsh/s on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 which is pretty good for that older CPU. About how often were you finding a share with that rate? With speeds that low, you will be seeing a long period between shares. A GPU miner runs 300-400 MH/s on average, and even they can sometimes take over 1 minute to find a share (though normally its much faster, and sometimes multiple shares in a second or two, the joy of random hashing!).
With my current setup (Ufasoft at 1.2 Mhash/s) I haven't found a share yet in a little over an hour  I think I'll consider adding a GPU to a desktop and use that. If your using Windoze I would download speedfan and monitor your laptops temperatures.
Thanks for the tip, I'll do that. Once you get your feet wet with your current configuration I would look at building a desktop with a GPU or two and use CG Miner which supports multiple pools with failover.
Sounds like good advice. What other pools would you recommend? Also, do you know if there's a GUI that uses CG Miner as a backend? Thanks again! |

Thanks for the info Sam. I will look for a Catalyst driver for my 4200 if it is supported. In the meantime I have switched to the Ufasoft miner and I'm now getting 1.2 Mhash/s. After a few minutes, it still hasn't appeared on my deepbit account page, but I'll let it run for awhile and see if it shows up.

Really?!? Kilo Hash/second? Are you CPU mining with a 80486 or something? If you are really that slow then it may not be turning in enough work in a timely manner to make it look like your are mining.
I have a low end GPU which gets about 34.5 MHash/s and it will often go for 3 or 4 minutes without turning in a share. So if you are really mining that slow then it could take 20 or so minutes to find a valid share. Watch the stats page on deepbit for how many shares your miner gets done.
Sam
Fair enough. I was wondering if that rate was slow or not. I'm running this on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with built-in ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series graphics. However, the device that GUIMiner reports as being used is "AMD Athlon II P340 Du" which looks like my CPU instead of the GPU. Any tips on getting the miner to recognize my GPU? Deepbit updates the stats very responsively for me. I see my miner find a share and then update my browser and it will have shown up already on the stats page. But it can take a few minutes sometimes. It sounds like you are mining, I would let it go for a couple of hours. Edit: I meant account page not stats https://deepbit.net/accountAlso if you are CPU mining I would use the Ufasoft miner. I was getting 1.42MHsh/s on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 which is pretty good for that older CPU. Sam Thanks. I'll wait a few hours to see if it shows up. I will also try the Ufasoft miner with my CPU if I can't figure out why it doesn't recognize my GPU. |

I seem to have Deepbit working with guiminer / poclbm. When I start mining, it works and says 457 khash/s (it varies). The console also occasionaly says " pit.deepbit.net:8332 27/10/2011 11:58:38, long poll: new block 00000730313xxxxx".
So it appears to be mining, but "accepted" and "stale" remain at 0, and in my Deepbit account it says "Workers not connected"
How long have you been mining? Sam 20 or 25 minutes. Does it take a while to update the stats? |

As far as I know, if you lose your wallet, those coins are lost forever.
