[QUOTE=Squarebob;30390216]Why do ATI cards work faster than Nvidia cards? Does CUDA not do much for this?[/QUOTE]
nvidia cards have less, but more beefy processors. ati has more less powerful ones and for repetitive calcs like this they're simply better because of the numbers
Hmm, seem to have a problem with my 5670. Does it support OpenCL?
after looking at the charts, it's appeared people have realised there's nothing you can do with bitcoins
[img]http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/thUSD/accumulated_orderbook.png[/img]
getting desperate?
So what do you do with bitcoins actually? I mean seriously it's explained nowhere in the OP other then that it's a digital currency.
It's like hats, but abstract
Does anyone know what the average payout would be on a 5450 on BTC guild?

You can get up to 112 by fiddling with poclbm

Meh i give up, it seems like this whole BitCoin is 1. in a early stage 2. will die shortly
I earn money with my servers so this whole BitCoin is not something that i need anyway
[QUOTE=Number-41;30390161]I've done some reading and I still don't know what this is about. So what uses your computing power? What purpose does this serve? Is this like a world wide grid to do scientific calculations or what?
Edit:
okay so it serves no purpose and it just gets its value because of the effort it takes to generate them, and the willingness of other people to accept it as currency...
Edit:
what a waste of energy then. The least it could do is calculate something useful... I wonder what the value of one bitcoin is after you've subtracted the energy bill from it...[/QUOTE]
Doesn't it validate other people's transactions? I may be completely wrong...

yes the calculations are what keeps bitcoins secure

It's not completely secure then, however it has a [b]very[/b] low chance of being hacked.

Though it's a really nice idea I think.

If there's a will, someones going to break it.
It's the way hackers operate. If there is something that can be broken, it will, but how much time is the question.
I still have no idea how the clientside works, you wallet is in wallet.dat.. shouldn't you be able to just change values inside of it? :downs:
I think that it wouldn't work because it wouldn't go through validation on all the miner clients.

I have been calculating. At my current rate, 320 MHash/s, my income will look like this:
Revenue per month: 300.83 USD
Revenue minus power costs: 184.24 USD
Net profit: 184.24 USD
That is assuming I give up all the enjoyment my computer gives me under normal circumstances to let this run 24/7 and it's assuming I don't give a damn how much this computer cost me when I bought it.
[B]NO THANKS.[/B]

Though buying a dedicated computer for this would still pay itself in some months at this rate, however the difficulty will probably increase.
It would be kinda cool to have one, but it would cost 3000$ here :buddy:

The bitcoins pr. block will decrease to 25, from 50, in 2012. I don't see how this is worth it in any way unless you have $50,000 to blow on a dedicated farm to run 24/7.

When it drops, the value will go up because there will be so many people mining but less coins to go around.
I'm getting about 108.1 Mhash/s on my HD5750 512MB

You could start out slow, and then buy more video cards when you get the money for it :v:

go on the wiki hardware comparison and copy the code to the right of it (will look like -w 270 -v) and paste it into extra flags
then stop mining, and restart again. you'll get up to 130
My 5750 (700 MHZ core) doesn't have any flags next to it.
I'm getting 150 on my 5750 by putting it up around 820 and then cranking the memory as far down as it would go.
-v -f 0 -w 128

use the 6750's flags then

That's exactly what I thought too. It's fucking stupid. We are getting (very little) money for wasting huge amounts of resources.
