Mine Bytecoin

[JohnDorien]

I just started mining bytecoins a few hours ago, solo.

some blocks already found at 700mhash.

I hope the prise will rise up same as btc some day

I am going to continue this a few days asa it is still low difficulty and seems to be easy to miine some blocks on my own in a reasonable timeframe.

I think all should start this for a moment to get it up


Do you think bytecoin is going to die or to rise up like LTC, PPC etc...?

I want to buy Bytecoins!!

1000 BTE

I just got my computer set up to mine. It's the technology that fascinates me, so I'm using bytecoin as a way to understand bitcoin as it's definitely not worth even attempting to mine bitcoin.

I'm mining at 682 khash/s with GUIminer

How do I increase this? I have a good computer, I thought. Am I set up wrong? Or does mining require specific GPUs or something? I have an Nvidia GeForce 670 and an i7 processor and tons of memory (for other things I do on the computer), but all I can get is 682 khash/s.

*Edit* I got rid of some of the extra flags that I had put in following the tutorial I was following and it incraeased to 2.7 Mhash/s.

Still seems slow though, right? Most people have more like 800 or something...

In other threads it's said diablo miner should be the best one.

but Nvidia cards seem not to be as good as ATI cards by far for mining any cryptocoins

I am doing it also because it is interesting, like going back in time. My setup is similar to yours, but nvidia is not the best to use. I don't care it is still fascinating to see how many can be acquired and how many the early miners must have gotten.

Next Question: How will I know if I successfully mined? My Summary page using GUIMiner says Shares: 1 accepted... but I don't think I got any coins from it...

Also, I tried diablominer, but I couldn't get the program to run. I'm not a complete noob when it comes to computers. I'm proficient at everyday activities, but I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to advanced computing and anything having to do with programing. I'm guessing I probably had to compile the program or something like that to get it to work, but who knows. My Comand Prompt kept closing before I could read  the error. Probably had something to do with Java.

When a block is successfully mined a popup from Bytecoin QT will notice that and also a notification inside the application.

I am sorry I can't help on diablominer as i am using Poclbm

[thepiratetrader]

Got one!

I have no idea what is happening in the background, but I added another core to the process and increased it to 94 MHash/s.

A few Shares later I got an accept letter that popped up, however, now it looks like it says I got 1 stale/invalid...

Does that mean I didn't actually get it or it isn't confirmed?

[JohnDorien]

Sometimes you mine a block just seconds after someone else in the Network did. In this case you got it mined after someone else so it is "unconfirmed" After sync with the network

Can I ask where ot find mining info for Bytecoin?

[thepiratetrader]

Just got another stale block. Do I assume something is wrong at this point? Or just keep going? How many stale blocks is normal?

I do Not know what is normal but keep going. I have ~30% invalid found blocks

I have Mtgox USD im looking to buy 100 BTE. thanks

Just how to setup a miner, I have used "out of the box" downloads from the pools I have used.

It is the same setup as for bitcoin Solo mining....

How do we see what the total networks hashpower is?

*EDIT*

Also, why would my Accepted tab show 136 (72)? Does that mean I have a fail rate of almost 50%?

Also, why would I join a mining pool that has 100 MHash when I can do that solo? How is that pool calculating it's hashing power? Because someone said they were pointing their 300/800Mhas/s mining rig to the pool...

Will give BTC-E CODE with 0.057 BTC for 5000 BTE
PM
