So, I've got the BC client running on my PC for about 2 weeks now.... with ZERO bitcoins to show for it.
The FAQ says that, after I get all of the blocks from the network, "Your average coin creation rate will be (6 * 50 coins / hour) * (your CPU speed / the total CPU speed in the Bitcoin network). At the moment (June 2010) it might be something like 50 coins / day, for example."
Well, I checked the wiki and my clock count matches the count they have there (69649). And the 50 coins / day is a figure that was given for just a month ago.
Right now, I'm doing about 400 khash/s, and I've yet to see a single coin.
Ideas?

The difficulty of generating coins has increased dramatically in the last month; keep waiting.

The difficulty for generating a block has gone up, it's currently at 181 when it was as low as 23 a few weeks ago. Check out this page for help in calculating your probability of generating a block: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.phpKeep in mind that block generation is a lottery, each hash you compute is a "ticket", so the faster you generate hashes the more chances you have to win the lottery. For instance, I have a desktop at home that can do about 1600 khash, I ran bitcoin for 3 hours and generated a block, however my desktop at work has been running bitcoin for days with no blocks generated. |

There's some douche who's got 1000 cores crunching through hashes, so all of us are kind of left out to dry for now. =P

More incentive for us to create wealth generating services so we can get bitcoins from others.  |

What are they doing, other than generating most of the BTC? Edit: OK, I get that it's nenolod. So, who's nenolod? Edit2: OK, I see that he's the technical director of SystemInPlace. Unfortunately, they're a US-based company, or I'd consider using them. |

If I have paid for a server I want all of the cores doing what I want. |

Hmmm. If you're right, he's taking a risk to disclose that here. Not that I'm vindictive, or anything  |

He claims he isn't using his employers resources, but *shrug*.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. I was under the impression he owned the company, which would mean they are his resources. Just having 1000 spare cores at home is kinda crazy, but I guess someone realy dedicated to computers might. |

Or he might have been using Amazon Cloud services (Or microsofts, or IBM's for that matter).
Or, his employer might give him a bunch of virtual machines to work/experiment with (thus, 1000 cores isn't that big of a claim, considering you can have a bunch of low-quality cores).

He claims that it cost just $130 in expenses. Let's see -- paying $130 to use 1,000 CPUs for 168 hours implies $0.0008 per CPU per hour. That's a very good price, I believe |

I'm either facing the losing side of the statistics, or doing it wrong.
It's been four days since I've seen fresh coin, and I'm running 7200 khash/sec (aggregate).
That puts me over 95% percentile.
I'll stay away from Vegas this weekend.

Yea, we still haven't gotten easier since nenold withdrew his 1000 cores.

That's because he never had them to begin with. Mainly because there are some members on this forum that have triple his claimed resources and they know how much he should be really generating if he did have that setup going for that long. |

No, he had something. Otherwise the difficulty wouldn't have increased so significantly. |
