Thanks.
Perhaps I'll just buy some instead.
I seem to be getting about 50 MH/s from my 2 290s.
Sample instruction if using eth.nanopool.org
Code:1. Download & Install Ethereum-win64-latest.exe from [url]https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20C%2B%2B%20develop%20branch/[/url] 2. Download & Install mist wallet from [url]https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases/download/0.3.9/Ethereum-Wallet-win64-0-3-9.zip[/url] 3. Create a wallet in Mist and copy the address (long string starting with 0x) 4. Open a command prompt with administrator privileges 5. cd "c:\Program Files\Ethereum 0.9.41\Release" 6. run following, replacing [B]address [/B]with your hexidecimal address from mist. ethminer.exe -F [url]http://eth1.nanopool.org:8888/address/miner1[/url] -G
You can then see your status at http://eth.nanopool.org by typing in your address into the search box.
I followed your steps and am mining through CMD. I have a couple questions though:
1. When I want to quit mining, do I just exit out of CMD?
2. How do I know when I've found a share?
Thank you
1. Yeah, just hit Ctrl+C to exit out of the mining process.
2. If you're using my directions, then you're going to get paid via pool 2x/day. You can see how much you're making via: http://eth.nanopool.org/account/0xyour_address

So I can't seem to get my Ethereum wallet to connect to peers so it can download the blockchain. Any ideas?
So I wonder how fast a 7970 for like $140-150 from eBay would pay for itself?

How easy is it to convert this new digital 'coin' to hard currency though? Or at least buy new hardware with it?
Is it possible to mine without downloading the whole blockchain? And how do I know when this thing is finished or sync'd up?
Hmm, having little knowledge of Etherium brought me to the usual place I look for cryptocoin news (Bitcointalk) in which I found this thread.

This has me a bit worried about it but maybe this is a bunch of FUD or do you think this is a pump and dump?
Also there's this:

Many (most?) alt-coins have been scams or failed projects. Many exchanges as well. Not sure about this one but definitely not buying or mining any "ether" until I learn more about this. I suggest you all do the same, don't want to see anyone lose any money.
