Because the value of their assets dropped 50% and will continue to drop unless the problem is fixed.
And they worry that mtgox is too incompetent to fix it themselves

Is http://guiminer.org/guiminer-scrypt.html
a legit source for guiminer? google chrome blocks it saying its malware, but they link to this very thread

Say, since supposedly the issue is with the exchange's implementation of their wallets and not with the protocol itself... is there any exchange not affected by this current issue?


Oh, I see now. Well I better buy some BTC then.

where can I buy bitcoins if the exchanges are down?

So, to sum it up

1. DDOS attack exploits bugs in exchange's custom software
2. Bitcoin already has a fix which will be rolled out soon which will save exchanges from their own shoddy coding
3. Bitcoin price dropped 40% due to panic
4. Bitcoin price will go back to normal once this is fixed in a few days
5. Because exchanges all suspended transactions I can't actually buy bitcoins at this massively reduced price

standard drivers run cudaminer just fine

The 450 is only on the b114 unofficial build, on the latest official build I am averaging 550 (although I have seen it peak once at 600 I think).
It is actually a factory overclocked card, specifically a:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125489

Core clock: 1020 mhz
Boost clock: 1085 mhz
memory: 7000 mhz

Looking at the spreadsheet again, people are getting between 650 and 600 kh/s at my clock range, so it was my fault for not paying attention to the OC level.
The extra 50 kh/s is probably due to it rendering windows because its my main GPU and not a headless mining machine.

PS. I should like to point that my main point was that switching to the new b114 caused a significant hash reduction.
Luckily I was being pessimistic ahead of time and only ordered one card to test it out before committing to a large mining investment.

PPS. Something interesting happened, the GPU crashed (and so did firefox). After which cudaminer went from mining at 550 kh/s to 5500kh/s
or at least so it said. It didn't manage to submit any results. I will keep an eye on it

I have been testing b114.
It is a little slower than cudaminer-2013-12-18 on a GTX760 (~drop from 225 to 215kh/s)
And a lot slower on a 780 Ti (Dropped from 550 to 450kh/s)
Both are x64 because x32 has been slower on my tests on the 760

Speaking of speed, I expected the 780 Ti to get closer to 800 kh/s based on what I saw listed in the google spreadsheet

This does not, in any way shape or form, answer the question.
What is the pool name. Is it https://dogehouse.org/ ? is it https://www.multipool.us/ ?
what?

Every single one of them boils down to "buy our program for 20$"
I tested the trial version and it works just fine. Not sure if its worth 20$ though
I appreciate the help though

that window is unsightly and i wish you could minimize it to tray. there are methods to hide it entirely but if you do that, then you can't do things like turning it off and running it again on another pool.

Anyone knows a way to minimize it to tray?

Then I fear there has been some miscommunication
thank you for clarifying

As far as I can tell, b114 is just a little slower than previous build on my GTX760.


Not that switch, the command line switch in cudaminer.
What does the command line switch called -dp in cudaminer do

wait, there is a DP switch for cudaminer? what does it actually do? (aside from apparently lowering your performance)

the TITAN always uses 100% of its DP modules.
First, the titan is 1/3 DP, unlike the rest of nvidia lineup which is 1/24 DP

What this means is that out of every 3 stream processors on the titan, 2 are SP only and 1 is DP.
A DP stream processor CAN operate in SP mode, but not vice versa.
As a result, the titans DP mode performance is 1/3rd that of its SP performance.

AFAIK that is irrelevant because CUDAminer runs using SP processors anyways.
I can tell because the GTX780 Ti outperforms the titan by 25% yet the GTX 780 Ti has 1/24th DP while the Titan has 1/3rd DP. Had it been a DP process the ittan would have effectively 896 DP stream processors compared the GTX780 Ti's 120 DP stream processors.
See http://www.anandtech.com/show/7492/the-geforce-gtx-780-ti-review
for info about the two

My solution is to create a bat file in the same directory as the exe for litecoin/bitcoin/dogecoin/etc
You need to disable the "run at startup" option in the client itself, as this would create a shortcut at the startup dir for running the client with the default data directory. Trying to change that shortcut will be futile as it will reset to the defaul form (IIRC whenever you look at options menu)

bat file code:

As you can see, it uses a relative subdirectory called DATA and located inside the client's folder.
It creates that directory if it doesn't exist because otherwise the client will error out saying the directory is missing and self terminate (instead of creating the directory)

Then you just need to put a shortcut to that bat file in the startup directory and set that shortcut to run minimized to avoid an unsightly command prompt coming up every time.
The reason I use "start" and "exit" is to ensure that the cmd prompt itself is gone after the program starts.

oh, and make sure to change bitcoin-qt.exe to litecoin / dogecoin / whatevercoin as needed

I don't know of any that pays out in LTC
As for BTC, not all of them do that.

There are 3 multipools I know of:
hashcows - lets you choose which coins to keep and which to convert to BTC.
But it's bad. underlying code is weak and profits on it are awful.
middlecoin - only pays out in BTC.
I heard claims of it being overloaded, but it seems to be working just fine right now.
multipool - doesn't convert anything, you get the various coins in their raw form. This is awful for a small time miner because you can't get enough volume to sell in a timely manner.
this is actually the first multipool to have been made.

so, anyone had a chance to try out that new code posted by nvidia?

why not trade it in? I am selling my 760 and buying a 780 ti

that is pretty cool.
Its funny when you think about it, "everyone knows" that nvidia cards are no good for mining...
And yet with current cudaminer an nvidia GTX 790 ti actually matches an AMD R9 290X, with both getting around 800 kh/s (according to what people claim at least).
