Mining about one month.
Basically need to share experiences with mining software (bugs etc...) and this place looks like a good place for that...

'loes!

4th year (in Scotland we do 4 years for an honours degree if '4th' seems odd to you ) computing science student here.

Heard about and started getting interested in bitcoin a few weeks ago. Always interested in internet culture and it's 'autonomy' from the outside world - something bitcoin seems to be able to aid. But it seems bitcoin might be able to spread  into the outside world too, in wider use - that'd be really interesting. I guess the challenge is to come up with ways to allow people who aren't computer orientated to use bitcoin - possibly with hardware devices (like cards or something.) Looking forward to reading the economics and 'politics and society' sections - and maybe posting too if i'm not too lazy .

Also interested in developing bitcoin based services / apps - although the low level cryptography stuff is way over my head at the moment. I recently made an android 'remote control' app for the bitcoin running in daemon mode, which I guess I'd be interested in posting about in the 'project development section' when I'm not a newbie. [ https://market.android.com/details?id=Happy0.BitCoinClient&feature=search_result ]. Wonder what else I could make that might be useful...

Been idling in the bitcoin-dev and bitcoin IRC channels - I'm really impressed how busy, vibrant and interesting they are. Many channels I sit in go for days without any discussion at all.

l8rz!

Hi, I'm a speculator. I ate my hat last month in the crash - still hanging on though.  Despite what a lot of people think, though, we do care about bitcoin as a currency itself - I play the game mostly to increase the number of coins I have, given I never had the equipment to even think about mining.

Hi,

my name is Christian from Munich, Germany. I am interested in that Bitcoin thing from a technological perspective mainly.

Currently I find the official Bitcoin client lacking (very unintuitive user interface, long setup time and initial download).

Also I am very interested in the applied crypto algorithms in this project. Would be interested in working on a GPU accelerated vanity bitcoin address generator, for a start.

Hi,

My name is Boris Rarden, I'm the maker of Online-TipJar.com site, which is a bitcoin-based donation/tipping service, centered around free software. Recently, my site got linked by FSF!

I'm also a supporter of the Objectivism philosophy, which promotes the gold standard, and hence bitcoin.

I believe that the next thing for bitcoin is a community of people that can provide the basic necessities directly for bitcoin (without conversion), such as food and rent.

 Hello.

  never before have written in t the forum. but i am active in the spanish wiki :-)

Okay, post number 3.

I'm running an ATI Radeon HD 5870 on a brand new MacPro, and only getting around 2.0 MHashes/Sec using DiabloMiner.  The Hardware page says I should get twice that.

I tried using POCLBM-MOD, and it was even slower.

I tried using the -v switch on POCLBM, and it failed.

Is there some Mac driver issue that prevents me from using Vectors on my 5870 on a Mac?

Hi there,

I'm an archaeologist from the UK and am extremely interested in bitcoins.  I am currently looking into whether it is a good investment, it's always fun to gamble on investment returns!

2MH/s out of a 5870 you should be getting a whole lot more than that, more like 350MH/s are you sure you havent picked the cpu as your device rather than the card? id tell you the line but im not familiar with macs or diablominer
