I just downloaded the stuff today, and am totally new to this.
I have an ATI HD 4670.
How many Mh/s would I get?
Every site I find has a WAYY different answer, from 18kh/s to 50mh/s.
Help?
Thanks

Also, guiminer wont open. Is that because all my blocks in my wallet haven't finished downloading?
Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

4670 - not very many, will depend on your .conf; as for guiminer, could be a lot of things.

Sorry, I realize that isn't very helpful.

According to this, it will be in the 30-50 range. Hard to give a precise figure.

Yes, for Bitcoin (and other SHA-256) mining anyway.

From what im seeing count on seeing 30-40 mh.

Split the difference, count on getting 35 or so. YMMV.

FWIW, you'll need to mine for months to generate a single coin at 35 mh. At present difficulty and exchange rate, you're looking at 36 cents a day in fiat value (usd). TDP of a 4670 at load is 85 watts. At 15 cents a kwH your electricity costs will be ~30 cents a day. So you may be able to mine 5 cents worth of profit a day until the difficulty spikes again and then you'll likely be underwater.

TL;DR is ~barely~ worth mining with a 4670, unless you just want to play around with it. In which case you probably wouldnt care about your hashrate. Invest in a couple of caymans.

I was thinking more for LTC mining.
help me use this calculator:
http://give-me-ltc.com/calc
So under kh/s I'd put 35000, leave difficulty, change pool fee to 1%, then what?

your not going to get 35 mh hashing LTC. litecoin doesnt use sha-256 it uses Scrypt. You'll get about 1/1000 the hashrate you would get on hashing sha-256. Count on 30-35 kh hashing LTC. not 35000.

LTC mining is different. It uses scrypt.
There is only a figure for a 4770 at 18kh/s.

Guess it's not worth it after all.
Thanks everyone.
