I'm pretty new at this whole Bitcoin mining thing and after watching it and following it for a couple months I decided to give it a go! I got my laptop mining but I'm only hitting 4.4 mhash/s which I know sucks and is relatively slow. SO I dug out my old desktop which has an nvidia geforce 6100 nforce 405 which again, I know sucks (and is too old to mine with!)
Anyways, the motherboard I have is an Asus M2N8-VMX with dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800. Is my motherboard too old to support any of graphics cards that are useful for mining??
It would be nice to click on the connections (in bottom right corner) and see who is connected to you. (IP addresses)
It would be nice if the Help had a help file, that explained what "verify message" does etc. The help isn't really a help screen at all!
Finally it would be nice to have an optional ticker that showed currency conversion next to BTC amount. I know that is not the point of BTC (comparing it to other currency) but an optional feature like this would be neat.
i wanted to imitate the kilobyte, megabyte system, because well its computerish, as is bitcoin. problem is this system builds on denominations by the thousands. ~1000 bytes is a kilobyte, ~1000 kilobyte is a megabyte. but the names are good because people already know them and can relate to them easily.
I agree, the sub-1btc names are terrible.
I like calling .00000001 a satoshi, so .99999999 would be 99 megasatoshi just as 99999999 bytes is 99.9 megabytes
So a transaction fee of 0.0005 BTC could be called 50KS or "kilosatoshi"
0.01 BTC is 1MS
etc

I love Bitcoin because I'm part of the first 1% to know about it!

Hello - I heard about bitcoin in 2010 and generated a few blocks (which I lost due to being ... stupid!). I'd like to post on the main forum. Thanks
