updated version of guiminer,the other one had some major bugs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.1020 post 1033

not affecting me so I wont bother yet

 

[tvdang7]

I have a few questions.
1) What is GH/s? on the pools list everyone lists that stat and i dont know if a higher one is better or not (usually is) so i picked slush's pool.

2) in the Mining program what is accepted and stale mean (in noob terms) or how many accepted turns to 1 bitcoin?

They been in stock since friday, probably tried to dump them out of the new jersey warehouse before irene hit

I have a DFI nForce4 SLI Infinity motherboard - am I able to chuck a couple of HD5830s in it and give mining a go?

 

[Mir96TA]

Sure You might able to rackup a Coin in a week or so

 

[marlinman]

So there's no problem running 2 AMD cards in this SLI board? I gather the idea is _not_ to run multiple cards in SLI/CF when mining, so hopefully all will be good...

 

[Mir96TA]

You should able to run them in Non/CF Configuration

New difficulty just came out and it's a 1.5% decrease :awe:

Is this the first time it's decreased in recent history? When I first started mining, I thought the first difficulty decrease would be a sign that BTC was about to collapse completely. We'll see!

I am going to be a homeowner today, closing on a condo this afternoon. So I've been kinda out of the whole bitcoin scene last few weeks dealing with the purchase, although I do keep my main miners running. Going to do some cost-benefit analysis after I find out what my electricity rate is at the condo.

was it just the 'bitminer.exe' file? I think that's it anyhow...

I think it gets false positived because of it's inclusion in botnet/stealth mining packages. I'm pretty sure it's a legit file.

how they got from a to b I have no idea, wekll I mean, I can see it, but its reaching

 

[hdfxst]

I don't know if anyone clicked the link in the article http://www.fbi.gov/charlotte/press-releases/2011/defendant-convicted-of-minting-his-own-currency
It looks like he was physically making his own coins

 

[Zargon]

yeah, the libertarian site just picked the one quote and says its about bitcoins

which in theory as a general statement it could be

but its a real far stretch

 

[ghost recon88]

So, who wants to take bets as to when bitcoins will go back up over $10 :awe:

 

[trollolo]

bittcoin mining has only ever been profitable for people living in their parents' basements who have free electricity, and can stack 6950s till the air burns.
