I get about 380 MHash/s on my unlocked 6950 but it's not a dedicated miner so my desktop use is probably holding it back a bit  |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Used to be 2+ GH/s on GPUs, but sold everything in the middle of summer... reason - too much heat, good price, upcoming ASICs. Now I only have one partly faulty 5850 which I managed to make work at very low settings but still 177MH/s 24/7 + one 6670 on my Desktop another 118Mh/s So total just less than 300  Probably will shut them down when price halves  |

in another couple weeks you'll need to change the subject to "What's your GHash/s?" or people will start to get confused.

I'm on 100-104 Mhash/sec using my ATI 5870m in my Asus G73Jh. I'm just waiting to reach BTC0.10 to send to my wallet then I'm out of mining  |

Anyone that's hashing less than 50-100 MH/sec really needs to take a step back and look through their numbers. There's a really good chance that you're spending more in power costs than you are making BTC'wise. And don't come out with the "I have free power" crap, because unless you have solar or wind turbines, someone is paying for it and you're just wasting energy.
If you want to mine Bitcoins, then do some research and really mine bitcoins with the understanding that numbers that look good today could easily be in the tank if ASIC's come out in the next month or two. Otherwise you're likely just wasting energy for basically nothing.
You also need to consider that even if it is 'profitable', is it really worth mining for $5-$10 a month in profit if you're destroying your CPU/GPU/Machine and will need to replace it when it ups and dies after 6 months of continuous use? Will that $30-$60 you made in Bitcoins pay for the replacement of whatever died?

Well, you are right, however I do not use my laptop for mining primarily - for most time its idle with bitcoin-qt and some other p2p software running so I figured that since it is wasting electricity anyway, I can turn at least some of it into bitcoins. I never expected my laptop to pay for itself (at least not by mining), but putting in some use spare computing power is probably worth it. |

If you're laptop is sitting there idle, it'll probably go into standby or even sleep mode and only use a few watts. You mine with it and you're probably using 60-100 watts. So you might actually make a few bucks, but there's a good chance you'll kill your laptop a lot faster than if it had just been idling/sleeping. |

I wouldn't worry too much about profitability. I think of it like those computers setup to run SETI@HOME. The difference is that with Bitcoin you're helping to secure the network AND you get a little sumthin' sumthin' back. Even after ASIC penetration I think we'll still see people hashing from their laptop GPUs for the same reason they would run SETI@HOME. In both cases it means you're a part of something great and you're making a quantifiable difference.

Well, after quick calculation it seems that mining provides ~10USD per month, wich nearly exactly covers electricity cost. Better this, than just power consumption while it runs idle. And I dont really think it will kill my hardware since chip itself [cpu+gpu] is only 18W. I can hear the fan, but its never at full speed, nor do I feel any excesive heat from any laptop part. |

Ah, that's good, just be ready, at block 210,000 (we're at 207,781 now and will probably hit 210K in about 2 weeks), the block reward drops in half. So you'll be making half as much as you are now. If the BTC/$ price doesn't go up, you might be losing $5/month |

So there is a slight chance that I will mine with my laptop little longer - until ASICs will come out. |
