I just got an email for a bitcoin mining accelerator beta the exact text in the subject is:

Peter - Bitcoin Mining Accelerator Team         Bitcoin Mining Accelerator - Beta Invite

Is this legit or a phishing scam or trojan etc..., I don't dare open the email on any computer related to bitcoin.

Just a heads up to everyone to think twice about opening a bitcoin related email, especially from a stranger.

Hmm maybe I'lL try that.  Thanks!

I just wanna say, what are the advantages to using trade hill when their buy/sell prices are less competitive than mtgox's?

Ex now MTgox buy 16.69   sell 16.5
        Tradehill buy 17.59   sell 15.92

Thanks I'll consider that.  Do you mean bank wire by wire transfer? Because In my experience wire transfers are outrageously expensive.

Any more options anybody?

Hello, I'm a Canadian who wants to withdraw my money from mtGox. 

Now I know I have to pass by Liberty Reserve but from there, there are several options.  I was wondering if anyone from Canada had any experience or recommendations on withdrawing their money.

Hi everyone, I was looking through my internet usage records and I noticed a period of roughly 20 or 30 minutes where I uploaded 10 gigs.  This was a period of time while I was at school.
So I was wondering if anything to bitcoin could cause a huge use of bandwidth like that.

Any Ideas?

Hey, I might be interested in buying the following cards if anyone has:

4x Taiga
4x Goblin welder

I might also be interested any other classic cards say Urza's block or earlier.

I'm not sure I understand your offer.  Are you buying $37 worth of BTC?
 

Yeah this has also happened to me, however this time, the hashrate never restored itself to its previous level of performance.


Nah not really worth the investment considering I only have one 5870, i might just turn off my miner or remove the overclock when I play games.  Dunno tho.

Hello all,

I have been mining for about a month with an overclocked 5870 at 900MHz and memory at 1300MHz (Base speed is 850MHz and 1200MHz) and my hashrate was always around 330MHash/s

Last night as I was playing starcraft 2 my whole computer froze and I was forced to turn it off then on again.  When I ran my miner again with the overclock my hashrate is reduced to 323Mhash/s on average.  The difference is not extreme but I'm afraid that I have damaged my card.  Is there a way to confirm damage done to a card?  Any thoughts?  Btw my miner is poclbm_py2exe_20110311

Thank you m0mchil

450GTS with a  3.2Ghz Amd hexacore (1090t)


C:\bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20110222>poclbm.exe -u xxxxxxx --xxxxxx  r1 -d0

33660 khash/s

Oh, its a common problem?  Then does that mean that its using my GPU but just can't tell me my Hashrate? All I want to know is if my GPU is being used to hash.

Hey, I wanna get started GPU mining with poclbm.  I use batch files to start poclbm and the bitcoin client and I get no errors.

However, I do want to see what my Hashrate is using my GPU, I input the following lines but I get the following message.
Am I doing something wrong?  Or did I just malconfigure the batch files?


C:\bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20110215>poclbm -r 1  -d 0

Btw, I am on windows 7 64bit and my card is a 450GTS and my CPU is a phenonIIx6 1090t.
