Same thing happened to my friend - they aren't valid blocks and won't achieve anything.

I knew buying the 5750 with the ridiculous overkill cooler would be useful someday.

Why does GUIMiner never connect? It just stays on starting forever (I've forwarded port 8333).

you dont forward outbound ports
please learn what port forwarding is instead of doing it to everything that shows you a port
Holy shit, I can feel the heat coming from my HD 4870 :byodood:

As far as I was concerned, I needed to forward port 8333. No need to insult me.
[QUOTE=Squarebob;30433338]Another question, I'm on wireless internet and BitTorrent traffic really clogs the fuck out of the system so my ISP throttles the shit out of you if they see it. Since this whole Bitcoin stuff is P2P, does the data the miners send/receive show up like BT traffic?
I ask because my ISP doesn't monitor anything on the weekends and at nights, and I want to know if it's safe to run during the day.[/QUOTE]
As far as I know, by mining you connect to a server which sends you your work load. The P2P comes in when you pay someone/recieve cash and isn't loads of connections but just one so you should be fine not to mention it's virtually no informaiton being sent.
Market price for a bitcoin just dropped to $19 USD on Mt. Gox
Apparently Tradehill is a better place to trade since you get referral and commission discounts up to 10% from there, plus its more stable and supports a much wider variety of payout methods.
Though Mt. Gox is currently cheaper for those wanting to buy.
I'm waiting for MtGox to come back up again right now.
Probably going to happen some time tomorrow.

Was just about to violate my visa by ordering a truck load of 6990's[/QUOTE]
I know this is just a joke, but you would be better off waiting for a bitcoin to be worth $5-$10 buy shit loads, and then sell them when their worth $20-$25
Fun fact: 5830s were back in stock on newegg today for... about one hour.
If I got off my lazy ass I could exploit the fact that the UK market lags behind the US one due to most people not bothering to have money in both British exchanges & MT GOX
[QUOTE=FoohyAB;30433553]Is anyone else having trouble connecting to mining.bitcoin.cz?[/QUOTE]
Reposting because of new page.
Does this happen often? I haven't been able to access it for a good six hours now.

Shit nevermind, they posted an announcement saying they were being DDOS'd.
Has anyone on FP actually done a trade yet? How do you do it?
Mt. Gox is pretty confusing as they require you to pay and withdraw using some kind of weird secondary currency.
How long does it take to do the whole process - i.e. Put money into Mt. Gox account from a bank account (which must be done through a third party middleman...), buy BTC, Sell BTC (lets assume you instantly do this the moment you buy), Withdraw funds from Mt. Gox account into a real bank account.

It's bank transfers upon bank transfers upon bank transfers.
There's no convenient option, because online brokers like PayPal (understandably) ban anyone providing BTC services.

Tradehill supports some pretty interesting stuff like cashing out BTC into MMO timecards though :v:
or you can buy digital amazon or newegg cards
I have a pretty huge problem, when I'm mining I can't do ANYTHING that requires graphics acceleration or my entire pc freezes (even mouse cursor) and I have to do a hard reboot. I tried using different miners and setting aggression to 1 but it doesn't matter how little the miner is working, any other load and it all breaks.
I really would like to mine while I browse and shit, I don't know where the problem lies.
I have a 6950 with unlocked shaders, it's not overheating.

there's a command you can do to limit the amount of work, thought it was -f numbers but that's probably wrong
-w numbershere i think

It is useful. It's supporting an entire currency.

This is a known bug (see SVP thread) - AMD are due to fix it in 11.6 IIRC
Applies only to 69xx cards when OpenCL and DirectX 11 are used together. Sometimes (20% of the time) you can get out of it if you spam ctrl+alt+del for 20 seconds or so.

Why would they pay you for supporting someone else?
It's the backbone of the entire currency, and it's incentivized so that bitcoin can actually exist.
Gah I think BTC Guild's slow servers just stole 0.05 BTC from me, I hit payout and 20 minutes later nothing has showed up in my wallet
