Is there any chance of making any bitcoins when my computer chugs along at 1169 khash/sec? I don't know how good/bad that is. I know it is nothing compared to dedicated mining machines.  |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

If you mine solo with this, it'd take you on average 50 years for a block.
If you mine in a pool with this, you'll make 0.0027 BTC per day.
Up to you to decide whether that's worth it to you - but i assume it's way less than your power costs.

That rate was with the mac bitcoin client -- so it wasn't an optimized GPU miner. I just tried getting diablo to work, but it doesn't see my graphics card for some reason: [6/5/11 12:47:40 PM] Started [6/5/11 12:47:40 PM] Connecting to: http://deepbit.net:8332/[6/5/11 12:47:40 PM] ERROR: OpenCL platform Apple contains no devices Did something go wrong? Relaunch and enter the Set up wizard by pressing 1 and Enter during start-up, and check your configuration. logout |

What graphics card do you have? OpenCL is supported on most recent graphics cards.

At 1169 khash/sec, is it worth mining? If you rephrase your question as At 0.001 Ghash/sec, is it worth mining? Than it kind of answers itself, isn't it? |

Thanks for everyone's responses. I just didn't know if my speed was good or bad. Now I know it is bad. |

My machine may be wimpy, but it still works. In the background while working on my computer, it calculated a bit: 0.00564658 BTC from deepbit!
That at $5 could buy me a latte!

Sell the computer to your grandmother and buy bitcoins with the money.
