Well its been about 14 hours mining and on my pool site it say's 0.001966 BTC confirmed reward

So I assume once it hit's 1 BTC, I get a BTc in my wallet and I earn about £6 xD

Please tell me I'm wrong

It is fine at the mo, but If I could lower it to 85% activity I'd be more happy leaving it on all day

Also, this is mainly as an experiment, there is no profit to be had as I don't pay the electricity and I built the pc months ago for other reasons than this, so this is a nice bonus if it works

Wonder how much I could look at pulling in a week

So is 320Mhash/s good?

How do I lower the gpu usage? Its on 98% but I would like to know how to lower it maybe 15% just so it is more stable, or maybe 10% etc

If you're using the latest guiminer you should have the option to use the phoenix miner; phatk kernel gives you some good improvements over the old poclbm kernel.

The non-technical version: create a new phoenix miner and use these flags:

-k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=11

Of course if you're using this computer for anything other than mining you'll want to set AGGRESSION to something a bit more sane, like say 7 Smiley

Tried but it just says FATAL kernal error: Failed to compile OpenCL kernal!

I'm a noob but try flag:   -v -w128


Should give you more if you aren't using a flag.

Nice one, I just noticed if I hover over the flag box it says to use that for 5xxx series gpu's for better performance, but that still put me up to nearly 340Mhash/s so thanks

How is that doing though?  Too low or decent?

Hi all, newbie as you can tell so go easy on me.

Anyway, I just set up mining and it went ok, now I haven't done anything except install the guiminer and register on slush's pool etc

The GUI is reporting between 300-310Mhash/s.  Is this good?

The cpu was lame compared to that stat of course, but the gpu is a ATI6950 flashed to 6970 BIOS and the voltage raised 20%.  Not overclocked apart from the extra shader unlocks. 50% fan speed (can't hear over my speakers, so not loud really) is keeping the card between 52-56 Celsius

Hows that sound?

Hi, been thinking about mining for a long time now, but I am struggling to set up properly, and forgive me if this is in the wrong thread on the forum  Roll Eyes

I have registered on mining.bitcoin.cz, set up my worker etc

When I try and mine, the message at the bottom of the guiminer say's

Quote
Username must be in format .

I don't understand, it is exactly how I have it set up in my account page on the slush site, under 'worker'

Can anyone advise more where I should be looking for the mistake?

Thanks in advance
