So that everybody kept quiet about cats finding out about BTC. 
Silly cats don't know the internets finds out everything.

*Bump*

The offer still stands or make me one via PM.

I've spoken to JohnK and he agreed to escrow for a more secure and uneventful transaction.
If you're interested, please PM me.

Kind regards,
Nos

I'll see if I can set it up. Good point, though. I'd forgotten about the trust issues

As many other Bitminers, I have purchased several AMD Radeon GPUs over the past couple of months and I have several AMD Never Settle game bundles that I have codes for.  I'd like to make a little off of them and I'm sure some of you would like to play them without paying retail price.

I have 2 bundles with Bioshock: Infinite + Tomb Raider + FarCry3: Blood Dragon and
          1 bundle with Bioshock: Infinite + FarCry3: Blood Dragon

The cards were scratched as the online store where I bought the cards had some history with codes being already used so I tested the ones they sent me. The game codes are unused however and upon agreement, I will send them by email or PM. In case of any problems, please let me know. In case of any claims, contacting support@amd4u.com should be enough to verify if the codes are working, see if/when the code was entered and activated or help with a bad code. Hopefully that won't be the case.

Princing is $40 per 3 game bundle and $25 for the 2 game bundle.
Games can be purchased individually at 25$ (Bioshock:Infinite & Tomb Raider) and 10$ FarCry: BD.

Preferred method of payment is BTC, LTC.

Please contact me through PM.

Update: I've spoken to JohnK and he agreed to escrow for a more secure and uneventful transaction.

Yes and it says that Unconfirmed reward is temporarily unavailable. Slush must be working on that. It should get back to normal soon.

You haven't been reading all the forums. Someone said they actually are doing just that.

iFA88 , this is because of how the system is set up on this pool: each share gives you a score that slowly falls down if no new shares are submitted. In effect, the shares have a set lifetime; when they "die" so does that little part of the score they brought.

To exemplify, let's forget about the score and only consider the share lifetime.
Let's say a block is found in 10 seconds, and you submit 10 shares, each share 1 second apart:


We're also going to presume each share has a 'lifetime' of 3s. This is how the system works.
So, this means that if you mine for 2 seconds then stop, you would have 3 shares. However, since the block is found at 10s, those 3 shares will look like this:


(share 0s dies at second 4, share 1s dies at second 5, share 3s dies at second 6)

So at the end of the shift, when the block is found, you do not have any relevant shares, although you have submitted 3 shares.

The opposite case is when you start mining towards the end of a shift:

At the end of this shift you would have 2 shares (share 6s would die right as the block was found).


P.S. Any chance we could add an explanation like this to the pool FAQ to avoid having this sort of questions every once in a while?

I'm having the same issue, although I can't connect to stratum, pinging it works fine. I'm from Romania so this doesn't seem to be area specific. Lucky it happened at the end of a block otherwise the reward would have been damaged... oh, wait. 

It's now been several more hours and at least for me the rewards haven't been recalculated although miner was working non-stop.

I guess it's just a bout of bad luck. Well, can't complain, with overall good luck yesterday, it's still profitable.


A little short on that too if I calculate the reward per share.

Fixed now.

Also, maybe we should all just chill out for a few hours when one of these blocks is not calculated properly. If I learned anything in the last 30 pages of similar comments is that sometimes these blocks take a bit longer to calculate but they always are set straightened out.

There are also free bitcoin faucets on the internet that give out small rewards for doing tasks (bitvisitor.com) or just visiting their site. Most of these are on a timer of 30m to 1h with a few being on 24h.
A nice little place to visit is coinreaper.com as it has an integrated tracker to see how long you have to wait before you're allowed to enter your address again for a new reward.

But your best bets to get bitcoins are still mining or buying them. The faucet rewards are tiny and you need to spend a lot of time every day to get anything significant.

And for you, a cute bunny as thank you.

Salut,

Momentan minez cu doua 7870 XT, un 7660D integrat pe un A10-5800k si (sau mai bine zis fara) un 7790 in dulap din cauza unei carcase cu cativa centimetri prea mica.

7790-ul scotea cam 280MH/s.
7870-urile ar scoate teoretic pe la 520MH/s dar tot din cauza carcasei vechi de multi ani una mi se supraincalzeste daca trece de 450Mh/s.
Integrata scoate cam 100MH/s.

Cele trei functionale ajung pe la 1.020-1.050GH/s.

Procesorul a fost o surpriza deosebit de placuta deoarece mi-am facut comanda de componente noi pentru un simplu upgrade ca apoi, cateva zile mai tarziu sa aflu de bitcoins.

Of course, you could try... CPU mining. You might get a better hash rate than from the card.

And since we're on the subject, if by any chance you have one of the new CPUs with integrated graphics card, you actually get quite a good hash rate from it. I get about 90MHs from an AMD A10-5800K.

I first came across the word 'bitcoin' 3 weeks ago on a meme site of all places. It sounded interesting so I checked what it was all about. I've kind of been drawn into the crypto-universe since but damn! After reading through bitcoin's history and 2$ per BTC to 270-something $ per BTC and now with everybody saying ASICs are on our doorstep, I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of profitssss.
Still started mining, though as I'm optimistic and somewhat naive.
Good luck to us all and short blocks!

Story of my life

I do have to say, though... interesting things, these cryptocoins.

I've been getting them when OC-ing too high. When that happens I usually throttle back 5MHz or until they disappear. Although probably not damaging to your GPU they are unpleasant when working on the PC. Also, considering that too high settings can cause hardware errors in your miner which equal to wasted work and shares, I would throttle back just a bit to ensure everything runs smooth.
One other suggestion that I came across the forums and seems to work wonders is disabling the 'bling' in windows. To do this, go to Control Panel and type in "windows performance" in the search field. It should show an entry under system for "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows". Click that and select "Adjust for best performance". It got me about 40MHs extra on my 7870s.
