[QUOTE=legolover122;30381639]bitcoin client isnt required to be open to still recieve payments right?[/QUOTE] I don't think so. Might as well open it anyway. [quote] i know... but i want to play them anyway :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Turn it off then christ.

Decided to give it a crack: [img]http://www.tvcdev.net/files/img/CWindowssystem32cmd.exe-2011-06-11_12.38.28.png[/img] And if you're feeling generous: 1JmtAQMMqTTHi8mw1jasvLoiziokbAuLNZ

[QUOTE=RichardCQ;30381649] Turn it off then christ.[/QUOTE] but then i dont get paid.

Start selling your bitcoins before this month ends unless you want to actually lose money if you bought them, or you're going to sell for like $10

Are there any sites/surveys that you can do that will give you like 0.1 btcs?

[QUOTE=legolover122;30381680]but then i dont get paid.[/QUOTE] This isn't a hard concept. Don't play games or don't generate bitcoins. Come on man.

[QUOTE=Housemaster.;30381687]Start selling your bitcoins before this month ends unless you want to actually lose money if you bought them, or you're going to sell for like $10[/QUOTE] Doubtful. It'll probably keep floating on 20 or start peaking at 50 by the end of summer.

[QUOTE=RichardCQ;30381705]Doubtful. It'll probably keep floating on 20 or start peaking at 50 by the end of summer.[/QUOTE] It's only only going to increase steadily as the coins become more rare, but I can see a crash near because of how unstable the market is.

poclbm's been running for ~10 minutes, my GPU's running at 69C... should I up the fan speed or underclock a bit?

Nevermind

[QUOTE=Thegreen16;30381724]It's only only going to increase steadily as the coins become more rare, but I can see a crash near because of how unstable the market is.[/QUOTE] The market is probably going to do a hard reset (a crash) every two months or so as it stabilizes. If you see that then buy as many BTC as you can.

[editline]10th June 2011[/editline] Night guys.

How much bandwidth would this use? I have a friend who might want to give this a shot, though he's on a Rogers Rocket Hub (Basically a 3G HSPA+ modem, gets about 7.2 Mbps) with a 10 GB monthly cap. I imagine it doesn't take a lot, though overages are a bitch ($10 a GB).

good thing my 6750 has a sweet stock cooler on it (plus the AC in my room is on) becuz i left it on and i'm going away for the weekend gonna make so much dosh and/or blow my new $120 card [editline]10th June 2011[/editline] hot damn just checked, i'm earning 0.007 BTC right now way better than the .00002 i was earlier

Why would you use this and not a torrent program?

[img]http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/2047/ddsadb.jpg[/img] pretty meh rate compared to everyone else I believe, running a 4870 x2 but I don't know if I can go higher

[QUOTE=windwakr;30382303]Meh, I'm done with bitcoin. I made a whopping 0.04 BTC in about 16 hours of mining. I can't afford a dedicated miner, and it's not worth the electricity costs. [editline]...[/editline] According to the wiki, you should be getting like 180Mhash/s.[/QUOTE] Guess I have to fix my shit then

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;30382227]Why would you use this and not a torrent program?[/QUOTE] What. Yeah, go torrent some money.

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;30382363]This, making nowhere near as much as the electricity costs with my 6970. It's simply not worth it.[/QUOTE] My computer is on 24/7 anyway, doesn't make much of a difference in electricity costs really.

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;30382392]My computer is on 24/7 anyway, doesn't make much of a difference in electricity costs really.[/QUOTE] Unless you are pushing your hardware to its limit 24/7, this will increase electricity consumption regardless.

[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;30382407]Unless you are pushing your hardware to its limit 24/7, this will increase electricity consumption regardless.[/QUOTE] lmao when i go away for the weekend, literally everything in my house is off except for my PC, which usually stays in sleep mode i can bear the extra dollars

You're probably all already aware of this but economists and analysts are calling Bitcoin a scam, claiming that it will only benifit early adopters (and that's without electrical bills in consideration). Here's one article: [URL]http://www.quora.com/Is-the-cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-a-good-idea/answer/Adam-Cohen-2[/URL] (some of the comments on the reddit post are also informative [URL]http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/hpxf7/why_bitcoin_is_a_scam/?limit=500[/URL]).

There will always be a market for bitcoins, people are willing to pay a premium for the ability to purchase drugs, weapons, etc. safely and anonymously.

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;30382392]My computer is on 24/7 anyway, doesn't make much of a difference in electricity costs really.[/QUOTE] For me, idle power consumption is 170 watts, power consumption with the GPU at 100% is 380 watts.

Electricty is fairly cheap in the US anyways (as long as you're outside New England, but even there it isn't too bad)

Mining for me -really- isn't worth it considering I only get around 40 mhashes with my GPU (260 GTX). That, and my mom always complains whenever the computer is hot and ignores me when I try to tell her it's supposed to be hot when it's running at full capacity.

fuck yeah already made 0.01 BTC on BitClockers let's push for the weekend
