Unfortunately I'm only mining at around 4mhash/s. Kind of useless, so I guess I'll stop when I hit 0.001 BTC. Yay, a tenth of a cent!

I'm assuming you are using only CPU mining.  you might try the ufasoft miner.  
easiest way to use it is to download the latest guiminer,  https://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20110609.exe
just ignore the errors about no openCL drives found, you dont need it for CPU mining.

No, I'm apparently using my NVIDIA GT 320M with RPCminer CUDA. Not very good speeds were posted on the wiki, so I'm assuming it's going at the max speed. Kind of funny how bad a 6 month laptop is.


A laptop will never be a good miner, you know how laptops are generally shitty for playing games, it's the same limitation, you got a crappy video card compared to what you could get on a desktop computer


Also, do rpcminer-cpu as well, compare speeds, it's possible that it might be a little faster, on my Mac Mini it was... well, compared to 4way, not really sure what 4way is though...

CPU miner (i5 core 2.26GHz) is doing 1800khash/s, not experiencing any slowdown like the CUDA one did. I'm just thinking that laptops arn't as powerful.  Sad

see my post earlier in this thread.  I have the ufasoft miner running on a i5-750 @2.66 Ghz  and I'm getting about 9.5MH/sec

OK, this is weird. I'm apparently getting 5.8mh/s on CPU, only 4.1mh/s on the NVIDIA, for a total of 10mh/s. I'll play around with it. Also no lag! o-o

Mega. I am guessing that the RPC miner is not good for CPU mining or something. :T

Nope I don't mine. I'll leave that up to the professionals.

.
Are you a newbie starting to mine?
Are you a newbie looking to build a trusted reputation?

I'll offer to buy some of your mining output.
And, together, we can start building reputations of trust.

I'm a newbie, too, but not a miner.
And I'm willing to take a bit of risk with other newbies who are mining and who want to sell Bitcoins.

I've given lots of thought to how to build trust, when starting from zero.
I'm willing to put money into testing those methods.

Send a private message to discuss details.
Or let's discuss in the open Newbie section of this forum.

CPU mining is not good in general.

not mining... I thought I read mining takes quite a bit of electricity costs that prohibit any real gain???    Huh

Get yourself a kill-a-watt and see for yourself. With a few calculations you can determine profitability as well as learn some new things in the process.

Time is money. This means that if you have spare time, you can use it to make money.

Modular, open, and stack-able miner case.

Yea, I've been wanting a kill-a-watt for a while now, they're just so darn cool.... and I know it's only like 16 bucks, maybe once I get a REAL miner going I'll grab one with some extra funds...

I am mining on two computers since 10 days. I was lucky to bought a 5770 for each for gaming before, so i could start without any cost.

For now, i am on the side of that people who say, buying mining hardware doesnt pay off.

I must say that, cause i want a low difficult, you know Wink

I've known about bitcoin for a while now, but after i saw it hit 2$ i HAD to get involved. I ordered a 5970 off Ebay and built a dedicated miner strait away. Haven't really had much of a grip on the workings of the economy until more recently, now i try to both day trade and mine, failing pretty hard as a trader though.  Undecided

If anyone needs help setting up a headless miner with Debian 6 let me know.

Yep, mining here too (for almost a month now). I have a reasonably specced gaming rig, but nothing dedicated or too silly.
