Hi,

So I registered on Deepbit and finally wanted to start mining on my win7 x64 with nVidia GTX 260m, the problem is that I'm getting errors.

This is what I get when I try to mine using CUDA - http://pastebin.com/qFnnpcgw
This is what I get when I try to mine using OpenCL - http://pastebin.com/mzLZzVi8
And these are the errors I get in guiminer.exe.log - http://pastebin.com/Az4Z2yBz

So is this normal and am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance Smiley

You'll need to use CUDA as you're using a nvidia card.  Those are resource allocations that are popping up into your console window, as long as it's turning shares, it's working.  You can always overclock your GPU and/or add custom flags to the end of your miner to help get the most out of every second of hashing power.  Best of luck to you!

Thanks, but the problem when I do CUDA mining is that it's getting stuck at "Done allocating CUDA resources for (64,256)".
AFAIK it should display my total MH/s, but the summary tab only displays the speed as "Connecting".

Are you putting in your credentials correctly?  If it's stuck at connecting it seems that it's allocating the resources fine, but the miner is not connecting to the remote server, i.e, Deepbit, etc..  I would check that your username and password and port are all setup correctly.  Also, I've had this issue before, where I would be using say GUIMiner and the default Deepbit would never connect, so I would have to connect to "Other" and type in the physical address to Deepbit, with the port, username/password, etc..

I think it's fixed now. I decided to run guiminer as admin and I added a firewall exception for not only guiminer\guiminer.exe but also for guiminer\miners\puddinpop\rpcminer-cuda.exe.

19 MH/s... yay  Roll Eyes

If your miner is running all day 24x7 I think you'd benefit from being in my pool since it's a PPLNS and it's more fair with a slow mining rig, as far as payouts are concerned.  I ran my laptop on Deepbit at 15MH/s for 24 hours and 24 hours on my pool and got more from mine than I did from Deepbit.

That's my experience, and my thoughts.. a lot of people agree that P2Pool servers are the most fairest ways of making BTC, well in your case mBTC Cheesy

If you're interested the offers there.  Once we get a larger hashrate going any fees I keep up after the server bill is paid, will go to monthly rewards (random, not to who mines the most).

Congratulation, you chose the worst pool.

I'm sorry but nvidia cards sucks at mining.

I just did it to test what mining was all about. If you have a better solution then I'd rather hear about that instead of just saying (and not even specifying) that Deepbit sucks.

I'm sorry but nvidia cards sucks at mining.
I know, but as you can see it's a mobile card which is built onto the mainboard of my laptop. If you have a laptop with better specs for me I'd be glad to receive it and mine with that one instead.

How is Deepbit the worst pool? It's the best for Proportional imo.

I'm sorry but no matter the laptop, nvidia card sucks at mining. And laptop aren't good for mining anyway. It's useless to blame me for your hardware  Cheesy If you want to make some profit with mining then you have to invest.

And the problem about deepbit are the fees.
