Hello, a question from a newbie.

I have setup a couple of computers with GPUs to mine Bitcoins on testnet.

I am getting over 300 Mhash/s combined rate.

If my calculations are correct at the current testnet difficulty below 43, I should be getting over 35 hundred testnet Bitcons a day; I am getting nothing. Do I understand the difficulty correctly? Could somebody please check my math?

How long does it normally take to mine testnent Bitcoins?

Perhaps something is wrong with my setup, though I get no errors.

The following thread indicates that solo mining has been broken in the bitcoin client after version 0.3.21.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0

Is this information still current? 0.3.21 sounds like an awfully old version to use. I am on v0.8.1 right now.

Thank you.

I switched to a different miner, and got a block within minutes, then another. Weird.
