I have lost nearly $40,000 USD in the past month gambling on bustabit, primedice, and moneypot. You would think that I would have learned that I would have learned by know, but every time I have money in bitcoin, I want to gamble it. I even lost 10 bitcoin in one roll on primedice.

I made around $50,000 last month, so I was still able to live, but it's still affecting me. I know the money I am currently making won't last forever, and I need to save it, but it's hard.

It's just burned in my mind to gamble every time I have btc, and I don't know why.

I am a partner big btc company, and am paid in btc, don't want to say which though.

A suggestion I was given was, every time I am paid, to convert to fiat, but idk...

Any suggestions are appreciated..

Possibly a fair point! It would be a huge shame, Although if that is really the case why dont admin at least let everyone know that support is stopping and the pool is is closing.

It would be superb if the admin could clarify the situation one way or another.

Fully agreed, partly my point it was a great pool it just needs to catch up.

Ok, I have been watching this pool for some time and it seems that a lot of people are eager to jump and shout but is anybody willing to help out....?? I ask this because I mine BTC I also mine other currency's BUT I can hold my hands up and say I couldn't do what any of the pool managers do and to be honest I am pretty dam grateful for there efforts even if its not always perfect.

I will say I understand people want what they have "earned" but maybe if members put there heads together and offered assistance then maybe this pool could become king once more..?

I think confidence is dwindling in the pool as there seems to have been no "visual" site updates since 17 Mar 2012 and many people complaining about lack of responses to emails questions and general communication along with interrupted payments.

Letting the Mining community know what is going behind the scenes to keep us earning our BTC would be a good idea along with keeping the pool up to date and also making us aware of any up coming possible interruptions.

Please dont take this as a criticism as its only my own personal opinion, and I have just put 25ghs of my mining equipment back into this pool and I am looking forward to your changes on moving the pool forward to keep up with the changing times.

       

Yep Fully agreed, I live in the UK so its not cost effective but it could have been a great idea
I already own one I was just merely doing a bit of math, If you had have been over here or me over there it would have been worth while, also it isnt cost effective to purchase the equipment to do it. your in a great situation.

whoopsie my bad  (best start a new thread as this could open up a can of worms I hope it doesnt tho)

So according to my maths current conversion rate from USD to GBP for 5 chips it would cost £175 plus  the cost of a jalapeño say £350 give or take depending how lucky your are, that makes it £525 plus a H100 at £100 = £625 plus postage and your time.... my maths says its cheaper to purchase a pre built rig?? I am assuming this is something you do over time and add to when you have spare funds...

I just had a look at your thread on how you do it.... Gotta say its pretty bloody impressive 

Also are you in the US by any chance.... 

ok just to clarify what avalon chips

If you want to drop me pm feel free.

More to the point how on earth did you squeeeeeze that much hashing power out of that little jalapeño, If you can make that again count me in and ill hand over some BTC  

After reading almost all this thread I agree that mining is definitely addictive, for me its more about squeezing as much as I can out of things, I originally started early last year on a HD7970 just to have a go. Im not made of money and dont have thousand to spare but I did manage to grab a little 5gh jalapeño and get it clocked to 8gh and then ended up buying a couple of the old 20 chip bitburner xx boards and got them running at around 8.4gh each so not huge amounts but I am always looking out for bargains and bits to add to it. 

Oh and my mrs thinks its great as she knows where im at 90% of the time      

This has just solved 90% of my headaches, I have been searching all over abd this would be the first time I have come across that tiny little bit of info! Many thanks  

I am no guru at coding but I do have a little bit of understanding, I am currently using bitburners and I also have a bfl jalapeño my qestion is can I use one instance of cgminer to run both devices from a .bat or is there a way from .bat to set cgminer to only recognise the one device and then run two instances of cgminer....

I have tried this but with no success it just throws up errors in and between hashing on the other device. (bfl)

Appoligies, I didnt state I want to set each device for separate pools

Admin Can remove this as I have managed to resolve my issue. Many thanks.

I took a dive into deepbit despite my last post.
I too seem to have the same issue as above, although I am seeing my average MH/s. Everything seems to be working but if anybody could help im sure there is a few noobs on here that will appreciate it. 

Hello, Firstly I would like to thank deepceleron for his efforts and inputs!!

This fix may not be perfect but it certainly works!!

Secondly it only works if you follow the instruction correctly,  I had the same issue on my HD7970 (cayman) it worked a treat so again thank you.

For any one else just trying out mining that is struggling to get gui miner to work then give this a go. If you cant find the 11.11 driver then try softpedia as I couldn't seem to find it on amd's site.

If you are going to try and squeeze every inch of life out of your GPU then do so with caution and do not use the the CCC over drive infact just disable it and use another OC program.

This should see you running smoothly.

Hi everyone, yet another noob here....
I had been reading some great things about several different pools I had decided I was going to attempt to join deepbit and contributing to the mining community.

However... the more I read in recent times the more I seem to be seeing negativity please could one of the powers that be confirm the situation with deepbit is it still going strong and being well maintained...

Hello everyone,
I have been reading about bitcoins for around a year now I was going to start last year but a few things happened and I was un able to, so cut a long story short I am looking start mining and wanting to join a UK based group who is friendly and helpful as from what I have been reading this can go horribly wrong and can be a little tricky to get right so rather than start off on the wrong foot I want to get it right from the word go.

Any pointers toward an appropriate group would be fantastic although in the meantime I will be doing some of my own research.

I currently run a gaming rig and would be looking to use its full potential and obviously will be able to run 24 hours a day.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you for taking any time to help. 

Hello Guys and girls,

Im  living in the uk just found out about bitcoin so started looking around doing some research and here I am.
Looking forward to getting things started and maybe help with a little mining.

Take it easy people life's too short to stress.
