Stats under Accepted and Stale -- the first number is total since the current instance of guiminer started on that miner, and the number in parentheses is the total in last hour.

For the verification thing, here's a quote from an old post in another subforum that may pertain to your problem.

I had the same problem today getting the "verification failed" message on 13.2 drivers and then having guiminer and every other miner crash on start up after switching to older drivers.

What I did was uninstall all AMD software/drivers, reboot and install catalyst 13.1 drivers.

Then I followed the steps listed here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=359883 and now it's working fine.

thank you for that I will go off and fix the verification this now

as for the stats, what do they mean in respect of blocks and my earning of coins. am I making progress or is it failing. I am not seeing anything in my account status page, obv running a rubbish hash rate but want to learn how it all works and there is a lack of explanation about

thank you so far

Just wanted to let you guys know- The restriction on the minimum number of X1s was done for logistics issues, BA can still ship any orders directly if they are placed thru me as well. Just put a note on the order you want shipping right from BA (available for non us customers only).

Also new promotions!

Buy 10 X1, get 1 X1 free!
Buy 10 X3, get 1 X3 free!

I will check on this applying to previous orders, I dont see why it couldn't happen.

Bob, are you saying i can order an x1, at a higher price i expect, from you to the Uk but have it delivered to me from BA?

Minimum Qty 10 might mean they are struggling to raise the $5million typically needed to make an ASIC.  Wink

It's a bad move because obviously people might risk $300 but think twice about $3,000!

yeah, was thinking that. damn shame if true, I was really ready to hand over cash for 1 definitely and maybe 2

I spose If I could find other people in the 10 then we could buy together, I get the impression they would go for that

Me too, thinking of the same

although they have just changed the purchase quantities of the prospero X1 to 10 instead of 1

I damn well hope it is a mistake by someone on their site

have you registered on their forums?

So, have arrived late to this crypto-currency malarky?

Hi everyone,

So, I happened across Bitcoin kind off by accident and had heard of it but not taken it further then. I've spent about 20 hours reading up on it over the last 4/5 days including 2 very late 4am nights! I reckon I am getting there on understanding how it all works to the point of just about to buy a Black Arrow unit for February.

I will not kid myself and will always keep it real and not get my hopes up too high, etc. I am also patient and do not mind waiting for a ROI and quite happy to reinvest in more units, regularly, and take a moderate lower income say £150/200 per month if I can get that whilst helping the security of the network, there will be a hobby element to my endeavours too.

I find this all very interesting by starting to touch on the more esoteric side of things, I can see that this is still in it's infancy as a currency and imo probably a good time to get into based on that point alone but there are obviously many other facets to this debate

However, have I arrived too late due to the current price/conditions and other factors and is the best way to start to make moderate money to get a 100Mh/s units like the Black Arrow Prospero X-1?

Any answers or insight/comments welcome

Regards
Ghola
