[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;40576509]Hmm, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by bootstrap nodes, but my client connects to IRC right away, starts getting nodes, and starts syncing right away.

I couldn't find any other reason why it'd take so long to connect.
I have kept my BitMinter client running every now and then when I'm not doing anything important, and looking at my statistics, [B]I have made a whopping 0.89 €![/B] I also have about 0.13 namecoins but if I remember right, they're not worth all that much so I guess I am around at .90€. Neat. Usually I'm getting about 170-180 Mhps, is it worth it to keep this running all the time when I have my computer turned on? And does this affect my performance all that much when I'm playing say, Dota 2?

Litecoin is a safe bet and I think it's still more profitable than bitcoin, but I haven't checked in weeks. You could also do what I'm doing and find a new altcoin and mine the hell out of it while the dificulty is low then sit on it till it starts trading at an exchange and goes up in price. At the very least, switch over to mining litecoins.
So are there any BBQ Pools currently that are not complete crap?
Any opinion on YaCoin?

[editline]9th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Jalict;40587377]Any opinion on YaCoin?[/QUOTE] All I know is that apparently the Windows binary client is sabotaged for bad mining. If you're going to mine, build it yourself.
This week, we got YAC and RYC. What is to come next week? GenericPremine7 and GenericPremine8
I'm honestly concerned that all these altcoins will just eventually financially crash every exchange that isn't mtgox (who hasn't jumped into this mess yet thankfully) There's going to be a certain point where there are simply too many alt coins that are made for the sake of just making money for the guy who made it, nobody's gonna trust any of it and it'll all just plummet. It's basically what happened to the video game crash in the 80's, there was just too much redundant bullshit flooding the market with none of it having any real value (due to everyone wanting a slice of the "gold" that was the video game boom) that the entire industry completely lost all legitimacy and value in the eyes of the buyers/consumer, and shrunk over 90%

Or, if they do try mining new altcoins, they won't be able to trade anything since the market will be diluted and go back to ltc.

If people don't want alt coins, people won't buy them. People will stop mining them because they aren't worth anything.

If anything, I think that MtGox is too big, and that's a threat to other exchanges. Most people who know anything about cryptocurrency at all will still trust BTC, and use it for markets like SilkRoad, but MtGox has too much of a share on exchange. Every time something happens with MtGox, it threatens the stability of the entire market.
So I got a new graphics card, 7950 and I can get about 550kh/s when I clock it but the problem is that CGMiner randomly (at least it seems to be random) starts to show some very high hashing rate but it wont find any shares, it really doesn't fix itself unless I restart my computer either [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7798429/cgminer-9kkh.jpg[/IMG] Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I thought it might be happening since I clocked my card, but I've mined over night with the card clocked and this problem never happened during that time. It just randomly happened after I wanted to start mining again later that day, also turning off the clocking wont fix it
I have that problem as well, I think its a bug in the amd opencl drivers. The only fix i've found was to somehow crash your display driver so it restarts. It happens randomly when you shut off your miner then start it again. On linux you can just restart the display service to fix it.
I'm thinking of buying a little butterfly labs miner. However i don't exactly know what my $/KwHr is. So i can't do jack shit. Is this an awful idea? I'll figure out my cost before running though, don't want to waste my investments.

Damn all the altcoins are not as profitable as btc according to coinchoose

A coin that actually has some changes to litecoin and isn't an almost 1:1 copy will be released at 2AM EST. Topic is here: [url]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203647.0[/url] Might actually be worth setting your alarms for in the middle of the night (or daytime, wherever you live) [img]https://www.onnit.com/emails/_modules/timer/?end=2013-05-14+6:00:00UTC&dark=1[/img] [editline]13th May 2013[/editline] Website is nice as well: [url]http://elacoin.org/[/url] [quote] [B]Elastic Block Reward Algorithm[/B] The more computational power you throw at it, the more each block will give.

meh, I'd rather sleep than chase the new altcoin panacea
Meh. Seems like someone have managed to put a bitcoiner on my computer :frown: Seemed like my Computer were doing a bit tougher today [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bCEeYsJ.png[/IMG] Found that. Then searched where it came from. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Sswa9lr.png[/IMG] Got this. Then got a bit frustrated of people using my power, and my own stupidity for somehow managing to let this in somehow. Just wanted to see where it led then, so I decompiled the vshost.exe. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/34sgQCB.png[/IMG] Found this. Now I'm not sure what to do further. I'm about to remove it, but I just want to warm people to be careful. [editline]14th May 2013[/editline] And I figured I couldn't do much from now on with this information. I'm not about tracking him down. Just wanted to see where things originated.

The miner will prove useless once it looses its pool, and you'll save anyone affected by it.
If I made a virus, I'd have it search for a compatible GPU and run on that too. It'd probably get a ton more hashes/sec. I know that Skype virus that's been going around ("I like this picture of you <link to a virus>") infects the targets with a miner.
It's weird. As I've mostly gotten my stuff directly from source/github. (Could have missed something though). I guess Common Sense 2013 were disabled for a few seconds or something.

Just bought a new card, after frying my old timer 9600 gt the other night that could only achieve 14 Mhash/s. Now I'm getting a cool 270 :)
If you want to spend your bittycoins meaningfully. Proceeds supposedly go to EFF: [url]https://www.thebitcoinbundle.com/[/url] Has steamcodes as well, if you donate at least 0.01btc.

Anyone want to buy me gold for 0.09BTC? I have paypal problems. PM me if interested.
