  Awesome!

Been a great day so far! Keepem' Coming!

BTW Why are people so hyped up on instant payout? On Deepbit you can only claim your money twice per day. That amounts to almost the same BTC in the hold...

I'm using GUIminer, so no command line. Is that what I'm doing wrong?

No, it should work. GUIminer has 'console window' somewhere, there you can find used parameters for the miner, please post them here (except password, of course).

Ok, this is what it says:

Running command: poclbm.exe --user=[username] --pass=[password] -o mining.bitcoin.cz -p 8332 -d0 --verbose
Listener for "Default" started

Maksure that it is

--user=Username.Workername

not just

--user=Username


and --pass=WorkerPassword not User's Site Password.

Just checked both of those, and it still won't connect...

Well, I need to migrate database, so we're going down for a moment. Stay tuned!

[Vwlopez3]

yup noticed we are down will this affect the scoring for the round? Because as i know it the more up time you have the slightly better your payout will be correct? So dedicated mining is more profitable per hour, right

My rig just got quieter!

Hey, so I have a few questions about cooperative mining and mining in general,
1) Would it be a good idea to create a hash-lookup table from the already generated hashes and then when a new block is released, just see if it is already in the hash table?
2) in the cooperative mining project, couldn't somebody just check the hashes to see if they match he block before they send them to the group, and thus getting bitcoins if they don't find it and the whole 50 if they do? (I know this isn't fair, but people rarely are)
3) Finally, the last graph here: http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/graphs/ seems to indicate that 100% of the blocks that this group attempts are found by this group. This seems odd because from what I understand about bitcoin mining, which is not very much, this is very improbable. Am I reading the graph incorrectly, have the blocks that were solved by others been edited out of the data, or am I making some other silly mistake?

Thank you in advance for you replies

Hi everyone, I'm a new mem of http://mining.bitcoin.cz and i wonder how long does system take to change Unconfirmed reward to Confirmed reward??? Sorry if stupid question because this theard take 111 page so I can't read all of post 
Thanks so much.

[benjamindees]

how long does system take to change Unconfirmed reward to Confirmed reward???

If you look on the stats page you can get an idea.  It's roughly 12 hours at the moment.

1. I don't think so.
2. You are hashing a block with pool owners address, so you won't get the coins.
3. Just no. Someone better should explain it though.

Don't know why, but this made me laugh. Thanks man, you gave me a good start into my day

Sorry, can you explain this more clearly

Rewards are not confirmed until 120 new blocks have been generated.  Bitcoin tries to generate a block on average every 10 minutes, but that varies.  You can look at the stats page to see how many blocks remain for each reward.
