Cranking out 150,000 khash/sec with my GPU on Bitcoins.
loadsa money
Too bad the program crashed overnight
bugger all money
So how does this whole Bitcoin system work? How does it keep track of how many Bitcoins you have without any risk of people magically giving themselves loadsa mone?

When did Queen ever make any reference to drugs?
Because I can think of several from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band alone, such as:
"Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends"
"I'd love to turn you on"
"found my way upstairs and had a smoke / somebody spoke and I went into a dream"
As well as the entirety of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

When you mine a block and get a coin, it produces a proof-of-work (there's a great article on Wikipedia about that), so that's used to verify that you actually did the work.
When you transfer funds from one person to another, your cryptographic signature gets added and its sent back to the P2P network and it ends up being some other miner's job that he produces a proof-of-work out of, so that verifies transfers.
AFAIK.
IANAL.

The biggest problem I can with Bitcoin is that one "block" is a stupid amount of work nowadays, so if you just start mining on your own, you'll maybe get a coin after a few billion years.
But that's where pooled mining comes in. I'm using mining.bitcoin.cz right now and DiabloMiner.
Doing anywhere between 60-150k khash/sec on my HD5770, compared to 1000-9000 khash/sec on my Phenom II X4

You only have two links there, you miss out the 500 other discussion topics we've been through.
Speaking of rock illiterate people, someone I knew called The Beatles indie rock.

You do this for fun? I mean yeah it sounds interesting but that sounds like a lot of work. And Math
I'm not good with math
[QUOTE=gman003-main;30273426]Just for shits and giggles, I started designing my own computer architecture. It's never actually going to exist, of course, but it's fun to think about "how would you design this differently?". It's a very clean system - fully orthagonal, homogenous and designed for efficiency. Also, everything is hot-swappable, at least in theory.
The memory model was the first thing I figured out. Measurement is in 256-bit words, and with a 64-bit addressing scheme, you get 128 exabytes of space. That's 134 million terabytes. That's a lot.
I also decided to make memory completely flat - no segments or pages. Everything is in one big memory pool. Including storage - disc space and SSD space are included in the same memory system as RAM. Makes virtual memory and swapfiles a snap. Same for RAMDisks.
I did the math - according to Kryder's Law (think Moore's Law for hard drives), it should be ~40 years before home users start hitting that memory limit.[/QUOTE]
DMA for the hard drives, communicating through memory mapped registers would probably be better than memory mapping the entire drive
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30277372]my GTX 460's only doing 55 Mh/s, i5 2500k only 5.5 Mh/s ...[/QUOTE]
Yeah Nvidia GPUs are absolutely horrid at the type of calculations Bitcoin requires. I'm using a 570 for mining, and getting less than 1/3 of what a 6970 (comparable price) would be getting.
[QUOTE=Tobba;30277663]DMA for the hard drives, communicating through memory mapped registers would probably be better than memory mapping the entire drive[/QUOTE]
Why not map the entire drive, though? It's not like there's any downside (that I can see), unless you have a literally obscene amount of space.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;30278044]Why not map the entire drive, though? It's not like there's any downside (that I can see), unless you have a literally obscene amount of space.[/QUOTE]
If using DMA, you dont need to use memcpy (or whatever is implemented) to get the data where you want it, you just tell the drive to place it somewhere in memory, and you can do something else meanwhile
Memory mapping the entire drive might still be a good idea though

Also, why not segmentation
With segmentation you would barely need to re-locate anything, since everything would be loaded at zero offset in that segment

makes me sad to see a 4850 outperform my 460 :(
[editline]6th June 2011[/editline]
(GPU 2 is a 4850)
How the fuck
What miner are you using?
RPC OpenCL or whatever - it usually is around 75 but it was nice to see it spike up a bit; those are inaccurate anyways since it's a short term figure (i think)
RPCminer-OpenCL
I tried it, but it was reporting 0 khash/sec so I was like what.
I'll need to try again, see if it's any better or worse than DiabloMiner.
Use GUIMiner to select it.
Just did a quick test, RPC likes to stay stable at 130-150k khash/sec while DiabloMiner would randomly drop down to 60k khash/sec.
I'll check out GUIMiner, I just started this whole stuff.
[editline]6th June 2011[/editline]
The numbers GUIMiner gives are way different than what are printed to the console.

Comic Sans is at least readable, but Jokerman is so explosive and in-your-face that it's simply not ignorable.

iirc some of the miners give MH/s over the total runtime and others give it over the last second
somic cans?
