Yes that is what I am using. Ah, I didn't know that I had to type .workername after my username, thats probably the problem.

Okay I'll try that

I just signed up, but when I click start mining it says 'unknown login CryptikEnigma', I'm positive I have my username and password right, and I know I'm using the right server, any ideas whats wrong?

I'm getting 75 Mhash/s on my 4850.

Well in that case!

I used the bitcoin calculator to find out on average that it will take me 50 days to generate my first block. What I'm wondering is, if I need to shut off my computer for whatever reason, do I have to start the fifty days all over again once I turn my computer back and start mining again?

Okay thanks, I'll just stick with with poclbm and use my GPU in that case.

Last question, I SWEAR LOL

Would solo mining with poclbm and generating with bitcoin at the same time be bad or good or not really make a difference?

Ah no worries, I finally got it working. I closed bitcoin out, then restarted it from poclbm, which then gave me a pop up that said I could start mining. So I clicked start mining and it worked. Thanks for all the help guys

Alright, since I'm wanting to mine solo, I set the server to solo, then I went to solo utilities, created a solo password and set the bitcoin client path. Then I clicked start mining, but it said having problems communicating with the bitcoin RPC or something(I already had it running since yesterday). Should I close the program and restart it from poclbm? Also, do I need to add anything in the 'extra flags' field(ATI 4850)?

Alright, I think I got it working on my own. Thanks for the help guys.

Okay d/led poclbm from here: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0

I clicked the guiminer exe after I extracted and it gave me an error saying something about OpenCL and if I have an ATI card(which I do) something about SDK?

What else do I need to do to get working? Any help is much appreciated.

Seen this on infowars earlier today. 'Domestic Terrorism' LMAO Give me a break. Competing currencies is actually a wonderful idea. Like the old saying goes "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". And with the state of the dollar right now that statement is truer than ever when it comes to currency.

That sounds like the best way to go for me since I already have python on my computer. Do you have a d/l link by any chance? Is it pretty easy to use?

Basically I bought Black Ops on the day it came out. Played it for a week or so and went back to Call of Duty 4. Haven't played it since. So I figured why not sell it here and make myself a few bitcoins. Since I'm new here I understand anyone who wants to use a middle man for the transaction. I'd prefer its a trusted member of this community like a Moderator. I AM ALSO WILLING TO USE CLEARCOIN. So I don't get scammed. I paid $60 for it on release day.

So I'm asking 35BTC which is around $26 PRICE LOWERED TO 30BTC PRICE LOWERED AGAIN TO 25BTC 20BTC OR BEST OFFER.

Included:

Steam Account(Username and Password)
Yahoo E-mail account that is tied to the account.(Which you will need to change the E-mail/Secret Question to your own)

Wow, thanks for the donation! I'll go check out the mining section right now, I only have a 4850 though. Also, how do I use my GPU instead of my CPU? I couldn't find anything in the settings and options. Or does the Bitcoin program use GPU already by default?

Hi, I just installed bitcoins and got my free 0.05 BTC yesterday(what a nice guy who runs that site BTW). I was a little confused on how generating works, it doesn't generate you free bitcoins does it? That seems too good to be true. It is generating bitcoins into the community as a whole is what I'm thinking? On that same note, what exactly does generating a block do, I read a couple FAQs/wiki but I'm still a little hazy on what exactly that does.

Also, from lurking the forums for a bit today I see a lot of people talking about their khash, so I'm guessing its important. Mine is around 4200-4500 khash/s. Is that good?

I've also seen that using your GPU instead of your CPU is better, how do I do that?

Also, what's a good way to get started making bitcoins? I seen the market section, I think I might try selling my Steam account with Black Ops on it(played it for a week then went back to CoD4 lol). But other than that I'm drawing a blank since I'm completely new to the community and don't know anybody. Any ideas would be welcome.

And finally I'd just like to say I think the philosophy behind bitcoins is awesome. One of my favorite documentaries of all time is Bill Still's 'The Money Masters', which chronicles the evils of central banks and fractional reserve lending.
