So cgminer shows
Code:
GPU 0:                | 142.1K/131.1Kh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:167 WU:124.7/m I:20

But even after more than 15 minutes, the website shows that worker is only doing 9KH/s. Is there a problem on my end?

Also, I've noticed after leaving it on for several hours it almost always shows feathercoin.is-a-geek.com is unreachable. When I've noticed this, I usually quit and restart cgminer. Is that necessary, or will it resume automatically?

Re: Import from android's Bitcoin Wallet to desktop app

Hi

I regularly import exported keys into multibit. You just have to export the file on Android, copy it to your PC and then use the import feature from multibit. There is a password field where you enter your password and afterwards click on unlock. Then the import should be no problem.

Thanks. I wouldn't have tried again if not for you comment. The client on android saved the file without an extension. Multibit doesn't interpret the file correctly unless the extension is "*.key". Renamed the file, now it works.

I've been exclusive on linux for the past decade, so I'm used to other heuristics determining the file type regardless of extension.

Re: MtGox is about to run out of bitcoins.

Not being able to send out fiat (particularly bad with USD), volume is obviously dropping, because even though the price is higher, what good is GoxUSD if you can't redeem it for real USD?

Except that you can still transfer to/from European bank accounts (though it sounds like there's a delay) and it looks like they're getting setup to support US accounts though wiretransfer if nothing else.

Mtgox relied too heavily on dwolla, and that's hurt them. They'll never recover the market share they once had. But I don't think they're dead; they're not currently attractive to US based bitcoiners. Once they get that sorted out, things will normalize.

Import from android's Bitcoin Wallet to desktop app [Solved]

I setup a bitcoin wallet using Bitcoin Wallet on android tranfered some BTC over. The app has the ability to import/export your private key(s). When you export, it makes you encrypt them with a passphrase. (I have uninstalled the app and successfully restored my wallet by importing my key and resetting the blockchain, so I know the private key is exporting successfully)

I'd like to import my key to any desktop app. So far I've played around with Multibit, Armory, and the official bitcoin-qt, but I can't seem to figure out how to import the key. Both Multibit and Armory seem to offer the feature, but neither seems to recognize what Bitcoin Wallet is exporting.

Anyone have any success with this?
