I completely uninstalled 0.11.0 and reinstalled it on a different partition. Currently re-downloading the blockchain... again... hopefully the new location will clear up these errors.
And finally finished re-syncing. I have cable internet and it took 4 days to acquire the blockchain again. I thought it was supposed to be much faster after 0.10.x...  I've had two blue screen of death crashes since I finished the reinstall. Can't say it's related, but it sure is a coincidence. |

but there are ways around that by mining at work, mining at a hospital, an outdoor outlet somewhere,
Oh, you mean by stealing it? Uh, no. |

"Something funny" is always happening with Antpool, I'd never mine there because of it.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see + difficulty adjustments until the end of the year.

what is the diff on your pool? have you put it higher than your miner? i cannot get above 1k on a solo pool should i make my own and raise the diff?
My difficulty is 54 billion because I mine against the Bitcoin Core to support the network. See my earlier post on how to set it up. When I mine against the backup pool, CK's pool, it's 1000. Setting your difficulty isn't necessary. It's done automatically from the software you're mining against. Don't get hung up on it. It's a non-issue. When true solo mining (against your own node) the only share you will see submitted is a share greater than network difficulty. Otherwise, it's just cosmetic so you can see that your miners are, in fact, working. |

My best share is over a billion. what does that mean exactly?
{"hashrate1m": "1.71T", "hashrate5m": "1.59T", "hashrate1hr": "1.73T", "hashrate1d": "2.81T", "hashrate7d": "3.81T", "lastupdate": 1440526599, "workers": 3, "bestshare": 1040364338.2521818}
That's the closest hash to the network difficulty your machine(s) has solved so far. You need a best share > network difficulty and submit it first to successfully solve a block. https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+best+share+bitcoin+mining |

That's why I'd never rent right there. You can't prove you're getting what you paid for. Why should they give you the blocks when they can keep what is today $5400 bucks USD and tell you "Nope, sorry. You didn't win. Please play again!"
$5400 is a great motive to cheat buyers if you're in a country far, far away. What are they going to do, cry about it?
You are misunderstanding a block withholding attack. They don't steal the block solve reward, they withhold the block solve completely as if it never happened. Do a little google search and you can read more about it. |

If I had any fiat left, I would sure as hell used the opportunity to buy some incredibly low priced bitcoins.
Yet, to my surprise, people are still mass selling. Seriously? What the F*CK, has the whole reason why you ever got into Bitcoin in the first place, now changed? Are the fundamentals of Bitcoin now different? Is the existing fiat money system suddenly not broken anymore?
Mass psychology -- it keeps amazing me what ridiculous decisions it can cause people to make.
If you bought around $190-$200 now is a good time to sell and see a small profit. If things get lower, you buy in again when you think the price is bottoming out. I've never bought coin just to hold, but if the price gets too low I'm going to have to or kick myself later for not buying in low. |

No, and I won't. This is a 1 year experiment with a single Antminer S3 to disprove the oft espoused theory that solo mining is dead.
Solo mining is dead, but even a dead horse get's lucky once in a while (isn't that how the saying goes?). That being said, with my electric rate all I can do all summer is solo mine and cross my fingers, so it will never be dead to me. |

So, buy an S5+, break it up into 3 units, and re-sell? Is this something we're going to see happening on the used market? Would be really cool! |

Price continues to drop, going to be time to start buying coins soon. Was ~$220 when I posted my pick this morning, now closing in on ~$213. Looks like we'll see below $200 today if this keeps up. If it gets too low we're likely to see some miners shut off, don't know if that would be enough to move difficulty down, though.

Sometimes the diff gets adjusted to values less than the pool minimum
That's not possible. It's a minimum value (42) because, by definition, that's as low as the pool will go. What specific values are your machines adjusting down to? If your shares are getting accepted then there's no issue here I can see. |

Local generated work items should indicate that you are producing shares locally, or some such thing. I don't see anything amiss with your numbers, seems to be hashing away just fine, maybe pose your question in the official cgminer thread? My LW number appears to increase as my miners submit shares to the pool.

What mining software are you using? What pool are you mining to?

+3.76% to +4.00% for me please.
I wonder if summer coming to an end is having an impact on the rising difficulty, also. It's going to be interesting to watch these next few changes and see what happens to the price. So many things in play, stock market, new hardware, XT... pretty soon the 2016 halving will start to really impact all of this as well. Exciting times!

I cant do it - please help me
Bitcoin 0.7.2 BETA is what I am using now
How do I update
any links
Please help
Well, you could try reading the first post of this thread, for starters... Bitcoin Core version 0.11.0 is now available from: https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.11.0/This is a new major version release, bringing both new features and bug fixes. Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues
Upgrading and downgradingHow to UpgradeIf you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt (on Mac) or bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux). Downgrade warning Because release 0.10.0 and later makes use of headers-first synchronization and parallel block download (see further), the block files and databases are not backwards-compatible with pre-0.10 versions of Bitcoin Core or other software: Blocks will be stored on disk out of order (in the order they are received, really), which makes it incompatible with some tools or other programs. Reindexing using earlier versions will also not work anymore as a result of this. The block index database will now hold headers for which no block is stored on disk, which earlier versions won't support. If you want to be able to downgrade smoothly, make a backup of your entire data directory. Without this your node will need start syncing (or importing from bootstrap.dat) anew afterwards. It is possible that the data from a completely synchronised 0.10 node may be usable in older versions as-is, but this is not supported and may break as soon as the older version attempts to reindex. This does not affect wallet forward or backward compatibility. There are no known problems when downgrading from 0.11.x to 0.10.x. |

Hi I am planning to buy 3 of these? but I have doubts since there aint much of discussion or popularity for this gears.
Take that money and buy a used S3+ instead. It will hash faster and be way less of a head ache. I could never get more than 1 to run at the same time, let alone 3 at once. |

With all the hype around Bitmain's new chip, the S7, and even the S5+ I don't think negative is in our near future. I'm hoping to see another <%5 positive move at the worst.
