Ok I tried 12.1 and same result.
12.4 and SDK 2.5 segfaults  

Now on SDK 2.6 and 12.4 (8.963) and get this on 5970;

probably due to the one bad core?  Not sure.  cgminer still doesn't see the 6850;

I will probably need to just step by step install driver and sdk until I get a combo that works.  The install order does matter right?  So SDK first then driver?

Banks do not need to mine bitcoin, if they need some they will simply buy them, like probably most people if bitcoin becomes more wide spread. In the end, mining is only an infinitesimal side of the bitcoin economy, as it should.

The next 6 months are going to be interesting with the tsunami of ASIC rigs that will go online. In effect GPU mining is on death row. The switch from 50 to 25 BTC reward was already bad enough but ASIC is the last nail in the GPU coffin. With at least a first wave of ~100 to 150TH/s of total network hashing rate (up from ~20TH/s today) from early ASIC adopters, this will have some significant consequences on bitcoin difficulty.

Anyway, we will see how this will shape up. However, second wave adopters will still be able to get reasonnable returns I would think.

I am getting tired of all false speculation...

Hallo mede forumleden.
Ik ben absoluut een noob op het gebied van bitcoins maar ik zit nu toch met een vraag:

Hoe krijg ik de rpc miner draaiend op mijn cuda nvidia 460m?
Ja ik weet dat het niet rendabel is maar ik vind het leuk om wat ervaring op te doen.

Ik krijg de cuda core niet aan de praat.
Ik kan nu maar met 2mhash minen. Daar baal ik van.
dus tja wat nu? Hoe krijg ik het aan de praat?

OK So you've got 10.5GH/s. That is $1000+ USD a month, like you said. In 2 months, thats going to go down to about $100 USD a month. What are you going to do then? Mine on your GPUs, paying more in electric than what you're getting in BTC? Sell your GPUs, and wait 2 months for ASICs while the difficulty (and hopefully price) go up?

Which one will have more coins 4 months from now?
Option 1: Mine on GPUs for next 2 months -> Continue to mine on GPUs for 2 more months, in spite of skyrocketing difficulty -> In 4 months, still mining with 10.5GHs.
Option 1: Mine on GPUs for next 2 months -> sell GPUs when ASICs hit, order ASICs, and wait 2 more months of no mining -> After 4 months, just starting to mine with 200GH/s.
Option 2: Sell GPUs now, and not mine for 2 months -> Get ASIC preorders, and start mining at 200GH/s for 2 more months -> After 4 months, I've got 200GH/s, and enough from the initial profitability to order more ASICs with ease.

Have you looked at his sig? He's one of "those" people. You know, the doubters? The ones who'll be making about 0.06BTC/day in about 2 months?

could u please explain?

Pics or it didn't happen

i have 2 BFL single SC and a jalapeno on the way. Thinking about getting a bASIC 54 some time this week too. think it's a good idea?  

I will agree with you that the 7970 is amazing. I can mine at the same speed as my overclocked 5870, and still only use < 100W.

However, I sincerely believe that setting up a GPU rig is foolish at this point. 2 months ago, maybe. 4 months ago, probably. But now? Just sell your cards on ebay, and buy some ASICs.

One thing I have going for me is free electricity and Internet service. I could operate my mining rig remotely. I've never seen so many people put out thousands of dollars for something that hasn't even been made yet. It brings a whole new meaning to the word "pre-order". I guess when dealing with money, people certainly act different. Just the lure of making some money in the first few months when the new ASIC's drop apparently makes people drop a ton of money to some company with no guarantees. Nothing else exists like that in the world, except with drug dealers maybe.


I guess I may order a couple SC's when they are actually available. I left BFL a couple of messages weeks ago and have not heard a peep from them. Just imagine a few of their employees, getting those first ASIC units, taking them home. I know I would.

Yes, you are right I fully agree.
However: The performance of the masses here is significantly less efficient than a coin flip. There is the tendency to believe in any proposed business model - a manifestation of wishful thinking.

Now isn't really a good time to start mining. The reward's halving in December and ASICs may or may not be on the horizon (it's all vapourware at the moment). You're unlikely to get the cost of the rig back even if ASICs are all a bald-faced lie. If they're not, don't even bother getting a GPU based rig. Place an order for an ASIC instead (but then what if they ARE a scam? Aaarrgh.)

Put it this way: don't bother investing in mining gear until January when the dust settles. Certainly I'm not placing any ASIC orders until one of these mythical beasts actually gets seen in the wild. That'll either make me a late adopter, or a savvy scamproof know-it-all. Time will tell.

Already know. The majority of those orders are fakes or incomplete. They can't be used to create an accurate model of future hash rates.

Any backing behind your estimate, or is it just a hunch?

ich lass mich einfach überraschen, wenn der der 1. hier mit seinem/n jalapeno mint

You got that wrong... in 2016 bitcoin is the cash.
