Some of the minning pools have stats counters and should be able to give you an average over 24hrs. I haven't used the pool you're using so I'm not sure about them. Right now I'm pulling about 0.4 BTC on my stock reference HD 6970.

I'm always pretty bad at remembering different passwords though 🙁. But I have different ones that I use with different levels of difficulty. My e-mails are on a different password than Mt. Gox and even this forum (which is on a different password than Mt. Gox).

I guess that you should expect these kind of things when a bunch of hackers and script kiddies try to get into banking.

Yeah... I'm always a bit squeamish when I see a site that seems crudely designed. I mean, if they can't put much effort into the "pretty portion", how good can their back-end be? Albeit, in the case of Sony... that doesn't seem to mean shit anymore 😛.

It seems pretty sad at the lack of web programmers sanitizing their data. I mean, is it really hard to use built-in functions like is_numeric() or mysql_real_escape_string()?

I have mine set for a payout every 1.0 BTC and when it does this it will send me an email so that should give me an estimate of how long it takes to give me one BTC.
 
My 5850 @850 did .50 btc/24h but after the difficulty increase it went to .30.Drop your memory down to 300-400 to decrease your temps

I have a 5850 that crashes when I mess with the clock settings. Even downclocking lol.

My X4 955 at 3.8 GHz gives 3.0 Mhash. Can I make this a little more efficient?

Yeah I just got an email saying my email has been compromised. It's the same email address that was compromised with Sony and a tone of other services in the last few months so that's not much of a concern for me. I use different long passwords for services.

This annoys me but I only had 2 BTC & $0.01 in my account.

I also just got a notification that hackers were trying to break into the GMail account that I used for my Mt Gox account. I doubt they got in... like I said, I made my password WAY different than the ones I usually use.

I didn't get anything like this but I did get the first spam I've seen in this Gmail account. It's from "Vitoria Fontes" and just reads "I'm new here. Where do you live?". Addressed to 200 other people. I can only assume it's from this break-in. Luckily I'm in the process of switching over to a new Gmail address :\

EDIT: Gmail just made me change my password due to suspected "suspicious activity".

There is software that will do that for you.
 
How can MtGox just reverse transactions? I thought once a transaction was made between wallets that it was the miners themselves that 'validated' to prevent that sort of thing. I guess this is assuming buying/selling coins on there is done between BTC wallets, which could be incorrect.

If the transaction was actually sent (i.e. made it into the block chain) then mtgox can not reverse it. Not sure about money sent to Dwolla and the like.
