how about not needlessly wasting electricity?

for every tree he burns he gets $0.17 in virtual coins
u mad? |
320mhash is pretty fast, what GPU are you using? I only got 70mhash out of my 4850. I wouldn't consider anything faster to be spare scrap. :D
edit: 6950 I see. That's a $400 video card, and you're not using it for anything else? You'd have to be pretty lucky to make that back, let alone other hardware costs and power. |

Bwahaha, what the hell is this nickle-and-dime shit, seriously.

Wonder if you can rent cloud GPU time somewhere to do this viably? :D
|
Bought a 2nd hand 5870 and selling my GTX 460 since it's slow as.
Pretty cheap to upgrade, using an old PC with a true 400W PSU as well so hoping it can run the 5870 - runs the GTX 460 fine heh. |
GTX460 - how much you wanting for it?
It'd have to be a step up from the 8800GTS I'm rocking at the moment ^_^' |
TradeMe around $250?, hardly been used was supposed to rock SC2 with it.
Message me at work could sell to ya |
1) Slush wasn't stealing - was a cascaded HW failure or a targeted DDOS attack.
2) Yes someone has investigated using the cloud to do bitcoin mining. But because they all use nVidia, cost == 5 * reward. So it's pointless ATM. 3) 5870 has the same mining speed as a 6950. Miners love these cards. 4) Difficulty just went up 50%. Due to go up again in another 11 days. This is the only real reason you'll never pay back your HW. 5) However the exchange rate just jumped from 3.2 USD / btc to 5 USD / btc. I'm xing fingers the bubble won't burst before I've sold my coins. 6) Or you could speculate that it won't and just buy and sell btc. Lots of money to be made if it keeps going up. |
Think this 400W psu I have won't cut the mustard for the 5870 damn have to upgrade ;( it ran my GTX 460 fine. Get around 360 mhash with the 5870 for a bit.

Ran fine overnight no crashes or anything ... think the issue was with ATI overdrive was enabled and so it was OCing the card on the fly. Just left it on defaults and it's perfectly fine.
|
Mtgox hit over $6US overnight.
this bubble hasn't burst yet.... |
Might build a PC at work and have it running 24/7 hehe ;)
|
Wow... it's a fucken mission for non americans (And esp NZ'ers) to convert bitcoins to cash and vise versa. Especially now that paypal isn't accepted much.
Any protips? |

Found an NZ site that accepts NZ bank payments in exchange for liberty reserve. www.webmoney.co.nz |
Problem is all the bloody fees involved.
Let's say you sell 10 btc for 6 usd on mt gox trade fee: 0.65% = 0.39c usd ($59.61) withdraw fee to liberty reserve: mt gox: 1% = 60c usd ($59.01) withdraw fee to liberty reserve: libert reserve: 1% = 59c usd ($58.42) curreny conversion (current - 1c = * 1.24) = 72.44 NZD bank account xfer webmoney: 3% or $10usd: ~$12.50 money in account: 59.95 NZD (fees: 15.05 usd, NZD) via otc 10 btc @ 6usd = 10 btc @ 7.5 NZD = $75 NZD Fees eat 20% of your money. Ugh. |

nube: i'm getting 4500 khash/s but no coins after ~ 2 days ... do i need to wait more?
|
Use a GPU. CPU is a waste of time. Even 70Mhash from my GPU is expected to take what, 2 months to "solve" a block (50 coins), on average (it's a bit of a lottery).
|
afaikt it is ... when running i can hear the fan on my 4850 spin up and cpu usage is 0
|
No, that's definitely a CPU-level rating.
Use GuiMiner, it can use CPU and GPU. http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3878.0 |
Quote:
The 4850 should be getting at least 70,000 khash. Unless you are mining at at least 1GHash, use pool mining like slush's or deepbit. 1.2 GHash = 2x6990, or 4x6950 |
I earnt more reading this stupid thread.
|
Should install on our production blade servers they are pretty fast
|
rofl

Hovering around $15USD on Mtgox now.....

It does bounce back a little, but it's a bit of a funny currency to me still. |
I can see bitcoin gaining some popularity, until the point some big company that buys/sells them gets done for money laundering...

I would be more scared if the illegal drug trade wasn't using the currency, as that would mean no one had confidence in it. Oh wait, money laundering? Yea, same point as above. Would be scared if no one was doing it. |
