It's easy to find a sucker, but yeah. $50 could net you $300 worth of BTC if you're quick.
[QUOTE=Barrowsx;30381131]It's hard on your system because it's generating values to try and brute force a "block". It literally generates hashes and does trial and error until somebody somewhere finds the right value. It has a pretty big factor of luck, but it's generally worth it.[/QUOTE]

Blocks are basically transaction histories, a random number, and the SHA-256 hash of the last block. I think it's the last block's hash being 256 bit is the reason as to why it takes so long. Whoever finds the correct value for the block gets 50 BTC, which is about $1,000. This is generally mined in "pools" which are hundreds of computers all trying to get a block. In pools, the bitcoins are split between all who participated in getting the block.

Why is it telling him he's getting gigahashes? Is he using a render farm?

Apparently it's risen to 21Ghash/s now :psyduck:

If he's getting GHashes/s then he should have about 100 shares by now.
Probably just a bug.

Something is wrong, because three AMD Radeon 6990s only get you 2.1Ghash/s when all three are running.

im using my ati rv770 mining. it is slowing down everything and i want to play games. how do i fix it?
i have all my video drivers including my opencl thing (90% sure of it)
im getting about 80 mhashes.
so how do i fix it?
[QUOTE=lunarwalrus;30381267]This is confusing. So the bitcoins are generated on the spot and the reason why it's intensive on the system is so there can be "work" to get the coins, even if it's artificial and meaningless and the Bitcoin doesn't immediatly become worthless?[/QUOTE]
The bitcoins are generated every block. The block is cracked via bruteforcing, the bitcoin's worth is about the same as a green piece of paper. People accept bitcoins as a currency because it's a reasonable system. Just like people accept USD because it is a reasonable system.

Dude, you're using your graphics card driver to bruteforce what basically amounts to a password while attempting to render millions of pixels 60 times a second. There's only so much a graphics card can do.
This is interesting, I'm getting about 73.5 Mhashes/s on my desktop with its Radeon HD 4770.
I may track down a cheap-ish video card from somewhere and drop it in my Debian server. Would OpenCL be possible if I don't have Xorg installed, though just the driver? I don't really want a window manager or anything totally unnecessary on a headless server.

No, 14Khash is shit.

Ctrl-Alt-Del, Processes, right click.

i put it to super low priority (guiminer has prioity set to low, as well as bitcoin.exe)
and it still doesnt work.
plus when i tried to run global agenda it says my graphics card drivers crashed and restarted themselves.
i really want to do this. i may see if i can find a laptop to run this...
