just got back home and checked what the morning CPU mining did... total of 7 shares found, dificulty 1 ( max of 1.1MHash/sec when firefox is closed etc ) and find the following block is calculated ( and time showing last 2 of them were at end of round )
17791 2013-05-01 20:01:25 5:00:24 36782329 7 0.00000000 234096 25.58139100
normaly i'd shrug it off due to the over 36 million shares, this time i know at least 2 shares were in the last few min of the round
Unfortunally for such long round you probably need last minute not last minutes at that speed... I with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145 capable of 7.7Mhash/s at top speed can say this is not quite true. Last few minutes are fine. btw, I am stuck at BTC0.0037. Maybe someone would like to help me reach the minimum payout threshold? I'd pay you your fair share for the work and cover the commission.

If you post a worker name and password here (it's safe - people can only use it to mine for you), I'll help a little till the end of the round - I'm a slow miner as well though. I wouldn't require any payment from you, and maybe in little donations of time from different users you can reach your goal. K.

+1 I will give you my miner smaller miner(468) for one block.... Don't worry for user and password. The only thing anyone can do is mine for you. You can't be hacked... EDIT: unless it is the same password as your account... P.S.: there is a difference in 7.7 and 1...

mining seems to be a choice of pour money at it and get big rigs/asic or sift little and often and try to chip away at the mess of 0s to get some im only a tiny player myself and now after almost 1 month have .4 btc unless your on a laptop you might look into getting a cheap gpu even a 57xx will give you about 100-150mhash

there is a difference in 7.7 and 1...
Sometimes I manage to mine a single share in an hour, sometimes two within a minute. No doubt there is a difference, but I call myself experienced at slow speeds I will give you my miner smaller miner(468) for one block.... Thank you!

Thank you! 1mhesh is less then one share per hour so if your miner doesn't send any shares for 30 minutes your score is reseted... This is a big difference from 7.7 to 1... Forgot to add. It is a donation...

hey guys this would be my 1st post here. Based on my experience here at slush pool having just 85 mh/s average The reward here is great! For example 24 shares on 26 mins block my reward is arround 0.0003.(this figure for me is great with just 85 mh/s). The only thing i notice is that if ever there is a connection issue or outage you will likely see a lot of zeros even if you have shares. Waiting for my 2 sapphire 5850 gpu (low on budget) which will arrive next week. Imagine getting 600-700 mh/s. I think it would be fantastic.

I am on a laptop, and that's a huge offset. Nevertheless, I've learned a lot. I've also managed to worsen my browser display output setting up ATI drivers but that's another story

@Mikko8: I'm only a slow miner like I said earlier (50mhash/s) - sent 10 shares so far, are they registering?
EDIT: new round, I'll stay on a little longer; hopefully you'll get a quick round.

That's more than I earn daily Good luck with your new GPUs.

But use cgminer you get about 10% more out... When ASIC takes over BTC switch to LTC...

No. Set up correctly you should be getting 700+. About 780 if heat isn't a problem...

Well it is a cheep option but not cost effective one. EDIT: Be sure that PSU is strong enough I missed start of a block for 3 minutes but now I'm mining for you... EDIT: since it was a short one you will get one more...

@Mikko8: Ok, I've done 1 and a bit rounds and I'm signing off. (Hope it helped some).
I may help again soon (depending on the response from other community members).

Just got an email from BFL saying they are starting to ship & that you need to confirm your order or they will cancel it.
Gave them a call and was told you only need to confirm if you ordered the "older" ASICs with higher power requirements (4.5/30/60 models), but do not need to confirm 5/25/50 model orders.

Slush's pool is relatively popular. I'm a small miner, two 16 Mhash workers and one 6 Mhash worker, so i contemplate what being small means, how i am impacted. There are 5Ghash miners coming into existance now. there will be a time where they will reap huge shares until the difficulty adjusts to compensate for them. we had a 32 sec block? either great luck or a fast hasher.
once the difficulty adjusts, Mhashers will obviously become the slow guys, equivalent to the current CPU miners. But, considering the slow deliverys on the Ghash machines it will be sometime before the difficulty adjusts totally in their favor, probably 3-6 months.
The point is that with the fast machines coming into being we are going to see more and more blocks where we've been excluded from the payout or got a really small portion. But, the alternative is not mining. sure you could go to another pool where there is less competion for the share. But, small pools will have less of a chance of finding a block in the first place.
Maybe Slush needs to add more zeroes to the right of the decimal so we feel like we aren't mining for nothing. Or, we just accept that there will be some 0BTC blocks for us little guys. Personally, I like Slush's pool will hang in there. Someday there will be reasonable delivery times on Ghash machines and i'll be able to get some and claw my way back up to the level of the playing field. In the mean time anything that i get is better than not mining. I'm enjoying mining as a hobby, hobbies are rarely profitable.
What are you mining with? My i5 laptop can get 10+MHash! For a while I had a cluster of dual-core desktops I have access to (I don't pay the leckie and the ToU didn't prohibit it. Stopped when I got a "Theres some strange activity on your account" email from the admin) getting me 100+MHash and there can only have been 25 of them running at most! heh, I built the little 6Mhash machine specifially to mine with. it has cost me $180 to build. it is using about 40watts. the two bigger Hashers are my desktop with two Nvidea graphics cards. that was built for gaming and not mining. I only started on the desktop machine because i was having trouble getting the little machine running and wanted to see some progress. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DDI0IE/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H0BA24/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZT1FAI/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
