I'm going to mine just because I CAN'T STOP nah I'm not that obsessive but I'll keep mining for the sake of it.
Oh wow, what the hell happened to the value.
7.5 USD per BTC?

I'm thinking someone tried to cash in a hell of a lot of bitcoins all at once. It should bounce back.
lmao $5 per BTC
Market crashed, bitcoin is dead, no one is bothering to buy BTC anymore = why its $5 per BTC now
There I go on a holiday, should have sold them before I went.
It'll bounce back up, eventually. Or crash completely who knows.
It's going back up.
So I was mining bitcoins, and then I checked how my video card was doing- It was 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit). Is this not healthy for my video card?

85- = normal
85-90 = worry
90+ = let that shit cool down before it overheats
All celcius, btw
Horray the market crashed and people are running away. Not like it was worth it in the first place.
it's not as bad as it was days ago, it's good anyway, miners will leave meaning more for those of us who stay.
BTC is back up over $10!
fantastic!
Really annoyed that everyone else seems to be able to get 380Mhash out of their 5850s yet mine crash with any core clock over 800Mhz
And yeah market volatility is fun, I bought several coins near the bottom of the trough and just waiting for the right moment to cash them in.

Increase the voltage.
I know how to overclock and they're currently at 85-90C because I run 2 in the same computer which means they hot box the computer, I don't think a higher voltage will do them much good. Might try it with the third one though as that's in an open box computer so only runs at 67C
Add cooling then.
I've got 5 intake fans and an additional noctua fan sitting near the GPUs to make sure air flows over them. It's probably because they're a custom cooler (the sapphire extreme that were selling a lot cheaper than others) that isn't too good at blowing heat out of the case and the fact they run 100% 24/7. There is one solution of opening the side of the computer which cools it by 10C but that's impractical for me.
Thanks for prompting me to try though, got my 3rd open box one up to 860mhz giving me an extra 30mhash.
Good job.
And mtgox is at 11 USD
What the crap, I normally get 0.02 per round, I got 0.7 in one 2 hr round? Did I find the block or something?

I think you just got lucky and got a large amount of shares or there being only a few people in the pool.
[QUOTE=Sartek;31779195]I think you just got lucky and got a large amount of shares or there being only a few people in the pool.[/QUOTE]
Well there were 3million shares in that round so I don't know, just hoping it doesn't invalidate.
My GPU only reached about 73 degrees Celcius when I overclocked it, :smug:
Uhm.. I rode the OP but i still don't really get what this is about.
Can anyone give me a little rundown?

Bitcoins are a completely virtual commodity that are traded with kinda like stocks. They have no actual value but several services do accept bitcoins as payment and you can make direct to bank withdrawals from most major services.
The way bitcoins get their value is by the fact that they're "mined" at a stable rate, what this means is basically when you mine, you use your computers processing power (specifically the graphics card because it does this way faster than a processor) to guess the hash (look it up) of transactions made in the network.
Or in laymans terms, it's virtual stock that your computer generates.
To use it you first need to sign up on bitcoin and download the wallet, then you need to sign up at a mining pool (look around, several to pick from) and lastly you need to download a mining program and connect it to your account on the mining pool. The hashes you generate are counted into the pool and when a hash matches with a transaction made (called discovering a block) the payout is 50 coins, which is distributed to everyone who contributed that round according to how much they contributed.
Hope that made sense and I hope I didn't get anything wrong.

This good for a 5770? Also, is there any way to get more MHash/s with my 5770?
you tell us

Mining on slush's pool with my HD6950; 330Mhash/s average! :D
What server do you guys recommend? I got a feeling there are ones with more payout than slush's pool.
BitClockers is pretty good, I get 0.02 - 0.04 BTC per round depending on the length. Really eash to cashout at 0.1BTC, I've gotten 5 Amazon gift cards within like, a month and a half with it.

That's fairly terrible though I assume your 6950 doesn't unlock.
I was an early buyer so my 6950, unlocked and overclocked to 900mhz core at 1.2 volts and with an arctic cooling accelero extreme to keep it from melting, I get 400mhs.
If I bothered to overclock it further I have no doubt I could reach 430.
