Maybe someone should go through this post and gather up all the shares/payment and consolidate it to make it easier.
I'll probably do it but will be slow since I'll be doing it in between playing DoTA.

Pretty straightforward question in the title.
Is it possible to do this?
As it is now, I've been manually resetting my GPU back to default before qutting. That or I open Trixx and reset using that.
Just wondering if there's a way to automate it by cgminer before it closes it self since I just got a 2nd 5970 and when the 3rd comes back it'll probably be a huge pain doing so everytime I want to play some DoTA2, SC2, or whatever else.

Anyone have a saved copy of the googlecache page.
I didn't save it, and the link someone else provided is no longer cached apparently. I had ~20k shares that went unpaid as well. 17umTfQVCWksJEb92cPAYgCC8eySg7ERQp |

Yup on air. Fan speed set to 50% and I get around 75-80C.
Just 1 card. Diamond 5970.
I'm sure my temps will jump up a bit more when I get my other 2 5970s (one should be here Tuesday; the other 1 more week if Athlon Micro sticks to their 1-2 week timeframe for RMAs on my Sapphire). And the other one I think is probably a Diamond.
The person on Craigslist just said it's an AMD Radeon 5970 from Newegg and I didn't really bother to ask him what brand it was at the time.
When the other cards come I'll probably either turn the fan speeds up or put an external fan of some sort on them.

What kind of clocks are you running it at?
At 850/150 I'm pulling 375-380 mhash each with 1.05v.
If I up it to 900 I pull ~400 each but that was with 1.1v.

I think those 3 or 4 that went for that much were just flukes. Seems like the rest of the listings that are still active are around the 400-450 range.
Although if they consistently went for 550+ I'd gladly sell mine.

What address do I send the 1.7452 BTC to?
These are being sold 1:1 USD value to BTC. Please keep in mind that the exchange rate has fallen since the OP, BTC was trading at $5.73 on Feb 3. If you would like to buy those, please send the current value of $10 (right now at MtGox ~ $4.56, so 2.192 BTC) to 1AqYWxGhGqGERaREnTs6AcGm4AWziixuNf and PM me your email address. [/quote] Ah, my fault. Figured you were selling them at a bit of a discount like the others. Thanks anyhow. Maybe when the value of BTC rebounds some I might bug you again. |

I'll take the 2 $5 GCs.

~20k shares
But according to the cached page: 15,995 shares which I'd settle for.
So @ the promised PPS of 0.00004588 = 0.7338506 BTC
Not much but I'm not a big time miner either so that's a days worth of BTC mining for me.

I see, it was actually sveetsnelda that I PM'd who gave me that response back.
Figured someone who had quite a bit of hashing power and been around longer would be more knowledgeable about something odd like that.

I had also noticed like a day or two after starting to mine on his pool that it showed a block being found by several people since he had a little box on the side to display the last 5 people who found blocks. Thought it was odd cause it was there and said that 5 people had found the same block and then later on that information was gone. I PM'd another person mining on there and they responded saying they noticed the same and had screenshot'd it but said it was probably a glitch. Here's the contents of what they said (don't have the contents of the PM I sent them asking about it): I saw the same thing, asked the same thing, and got a similar answer. It's shown that we've found a block quite a few times. There isn't really a way to see who found a block unless you know the BTC address of the pool. More specifically, the BTC address of the client the pool has everyone's miners "pointed" to. There's a site around here somewhere that tracks which pools found which blocks, but I can't remember the name or URL. They have a list of the common pools and their addresses and they match 'em up. I doubt A1 is in there because they've never found a block, so it's impossible to know what BTC address it went to (without asking the pool operator).
I took a screenshot when it showed block 165,239 was found. It showed that 3 people found the block (impossible) and two of those people found it twice (even more impossible, of course). He's certainly having some weird issues.
Given the fact that he's offered to pay people 120 percent per share to find the first block, I don't suspect any foul play. Still odd though... I actually just moved my hashing power away because I was losing all sorts of BTC by mining proportional. I was going for the 20BTC reward on the first block found. I asked to switch to PPS and haven't gotten a response for a bit, so I switched away until I hear back. |

I'm in the same boat here too.
I had about 20k unpaid shares since that cached page you linked probably didn't get the latest updated numbers.
But according to that I guess 16k shares which would've been 0.7765087 BTC.
Had asked him the previous night to pay out too and he said he would in the morning and then he got hacked.
Considering you were able to find that cached page he should at least make attempts to pay out for work done. The onus of a poorly secured server/site should be on him, not us.
Plus if he has like 4+ ghash/s of his own mining power he could easily pay off a majority of the smaller amounts owed to people easily in a few days to a week (which has nearly if not already passed) instead of just saying "so sorry". Hell, he could mine and pay me Bulanula in a day and have some spare BTC to put towards someone else.
And yea, it sort of is the principle of the matter more than the amount. Although considering I've just started into bitcoin mining and with my hashing power every bit counts and my unpaid shares is pretty much a days worth gone poof when I'm still working towards mining to pay off initial investment in my 5970 and bitcoin prices dropping lol.
Edit: Fixing typos, sorry I'm sick so my head isn't too clear at the moment.

Damn that's a nice price.
Bought mine a month ago from Amazon for like $26.

Can't really say because I haven't been looking at those but from a quick look at other eBay auctions you seemed to get it a fair price. Not great but not ripped off either.
Definitely a nice plus that it still has a warranty on it.
Edit: Although now that I think about, it might be possible to find some 5870's around that price range so maybe the 5850s go for a little less (eBay tends to be a bit higher priced compared to buying it off other people on forums and such).

Not sure if it's relevant at all but here's mine over the past couple days since I haven't reset the stats:
Accepted (%) Stale/Dupe/Other
35906 (99.69%) 69 / 13 / 30
Noticed the other and was curious what it meant too but I saw your explanation a few posts above.

Yup, 850w should be fine for 2x 5970 I would think.
I'm pushing ~450w with 1x 5970 while mining but I've also got a bunch of other hard drives and stuff (not a dedicated mining rig so not exactly the most efficient).
Another 5970 should add ~250w leaving some headroom if I had an 850w PSU.
Do keep in mind that PSUs are most efficient around 50% or so but if your system ends up pulling around 600w on an 850w you should be alright.

Pretty much what you.
People vouching for them and a good history of paying back loans or making successful transactions.
Even with this though you can always get screwed over and you have to be careful and only work with what you're willing/able to lose.
Other than that, I tend to take a look at a person's post history too to see what kind of posts they make and if it's quality versus quantity. Combined with other feedback like heatware or bitcoin-otc you can try glean more into a person's trustworthiness.
Best you can hope to do is attempt to minimize risk as best you can.

Yes, I know you asked this hours ago but I was busy StarCrafting.
Shares are updating for me fine though (just set my computer back to mining).

+1 to what DeathAndTaxes said
If it's in good working order, take it. $350 I would say is a fair price for it. Under $350 would be very nice but hard to come by and anything over $350 I'd probably just pass on it personally.
5970s are considered to be, if not among, THE best card for mining considering how much you pay for it, how much watts is uses, and how many hash/s you can get from it.
I've got 1 hashing now, 1 being RMA'd (crosses fingers that it doesn't take forever to get back to me), and possibly another if the buyer manages to get his PayPal re-activated and doesn't change his/her mind on selling it to me.

I thought you had to manually delete (or rename) opencl.dll in system32. Uninstalling the sdk doesnt get rid of it, or so I heard. Easy to check, if after uninstalling this dll is still there, get rid of it before installing 2.1
Also be sure to let us know what results you get. My best 5870 result on sdk 2.4 is ~461 MH/s @ 1000/170. Havent tried 2.1.
Beats me, you're probably right. Personally I had no issue though when I just installed SDK2.1 without deleting any .dll files and I definitely noticed an instant improvement in my hash rates. Was running Windows 7 64-bit if that matters any. Is there a way to check what version of SDK2.1 is being run at the moment? I recall reading that there might be but didn't really ever find out. Will look into that in the meantime. |
