Did you have >= 26.00 balance in your wallet at that time?
No, 25.99133919 was the total balance.

Mandatory transaction fee?
by

on 26/08/2011, 14:18:11 UTC
I was running an old bitcoin client from february or something, but decided to update today (0.3.24-beta). Then I sent some bitcoins, and I have transaction fee set at 0.00.

Then I get this:
Code:
Debit: -25.99
Transaction fee: -0.00133919
Net amount: -25.99133919

Are transaction fees mandatory now? How is the amount calculated? It would also be nice if the send coins dialog warned me of this fee BEFORE I press send.

It won't be broken in a way useful for forging bitcoin transactions any time this decade, and probably not this century or the next...
Feeling bold, eh? Think what computers existed a decade ago. Then think what computers existed a century ago. Also progress does not slow down, it accelerates.

One thing to remember in reading all the pro-mining posts is that most posters have a vested interest, that is, they will be better off if mining continues to be profitable.  This isn't to say they are being deceptive - just that nobody likes to believe the gravy train they are riding will stop.
It would be in a miner's best interest to deny profitability because any additional computing power added to the network decreases the bitcoin income of the existing miner.

That's weird, I swear that wasn't there before Huh
Still how come a majority of the people are running far slower? This is making me not trust the wiki and makes buying hardware trickier.
Everything is in changing all the time. New optimizations come out constantly.

Well whenever you get the time to do that I would greatly appreciate it! Not having to buy hard drives for each machine would lower power consumption and usb drives are cheaper.
You can buy an extra 8GB USB drive and then install ubuntu on that. It's also possible to install ubuntu on a smaller USB drive, but that is not in the scope of this guide.

      1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [/li][/list]
      2. sudo apt-get update [/li][/list]

      ....

      30. chmod +x phoenix/phoenix.py poclbm/poclbm.py5. sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all


      The first and second points have some markup leftovers and the 30th point should end with poclbm.py, but it currently has some garbage appended.

      Well, that will probably not work right!  Why would one do that, anyway?  Just to try it out?
      Because the machine doesn't have a harddrive to install ubuntu to?

      Unless you are saying you are trying to do all of this off of a running liveCD instance?!
      That's exactly what I'm saying and most likely also what others have tried while getting those errors.

      What ISO did you download that does not have this?  The default one I downloaded from the Ubuntu site works just fine, I'm curious what you're downloading that isn't working?
      You mean what ISOs don't have universe selected by default?
      Well these two for example:
      ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso (SHA1: f54bc1a298d74bb5551f153bdb7e1348c6b94d99)
      ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso (SHA1: f7b0d2b90fbd49794419338c2b9157c095b11bda)

      Step "make -j3" ends with error:
      Code:
      /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so when searching for -lOpenCL
      /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenCL
      collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
      error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1
      make: *** [all] Error 1
      HW: Radeon 5770
      This error happens if you try to follow this 64bit tutorial on a 32bit ubuntu installation.

      ps. could this have anything to do with it?
      Code:
      E: Unable to locate package libboost-all-dev
      I experienced that same error and the reason is that the default ubuntu livecd hasn't enabled universe package sources.
      Open your system preferences, select update manager, select settings, select the first tab and you can enable universe there.

      Update: BFI_INT support.

      I now have the fastest miner known to man.

      On my Radeon 5850 @ 765 /w SDK 2.1

      Phoenix DEVICE=1 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT AGGRESSION=5, 7, 11, 13, with or without FASTLOOP = 273

      poclbm -v -w 128 -f 60 = 292

      DiabloMiner -v 2 -w 128 -f 60 = 302
      I don't think so Tim.

      On my Radeon 5850 @ 725 /w SDK 2.4 on Win7 x64

      DiabloMiner -v 2 -w 128 -f 60 254 MHash/s
      DiabloMiner -v 2 -w 128 -f 1 270 MHash/s
      Phoenix 1.47 -k phatk DEVICE=0 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 282 MHash/s
