Hey, since this is the "new" thread (of which I still consider myself), why would you need a username/password for solo mining?  Where are you signing up to to confirm it's you?  I'm in a pool right now, so the u/p scheme makes sense.

Thanks.

Re: Is Satoshi really Steve Gibson from qrc.com? [dispute this gossip]

Wow. And, no.

Steve is the real deal and I've been listening to him for years on 'Security Now!'.  I do believe that if it wasn't for him, there would be scads more zombi-fied computers out there, and technology/R&D would have been hampered in its march to the future.

'troy' needs a new hobby.

Re: Yet one CPU SSE2 miner for Windows

So if I '-g no' I may actually get faster hash, as it won't call out to the nonexistent GPU (or a GPU with no openCL support)?

I think that it makes that determination before it even starts hashing and then doesn't ever try again (for that instantiation of the exe). So, it shouldn't make any difference at all. But, just in case, I put the "-g no" onto my command line anyways. I don't have an OpenCL GPU on the machine that is running this particular miner.

FYI: -g no actually slowed down the hashing...so it's best to leave it out of the command line altogether.

I'm not aiming on changing your faith. But I'm seriously interested in who you are praying to, and who (perhaps what) you think caused the 'quakes etc.
Feel free to PM me if you are interested in more details.

how to make 0.4 Ufasoft only use the CPU?

type "-g no"

On my 5870 I am only getting 90 MH/s as opposed to 312 with poclbm.

EDIT: It seem that if you are CPU mining and you don't disable GPU mining it works much slower.

So I'm confused...I thought ufasoft didn't use the GPU in the first place...did I miss something? Huh

Thanks.

Two, who are you praying too? If there is an all powerful God, that being caused the earthquake and the suffering.

Like I said at the end of my posting, what you say here won't change my faith.  And you're welcome. Smiley

Japan's earthquake: 3/11/11

I assume there are a number of supporters/miners/developers in Japan, and I thought it appropriate to start this thread for those who want to leave thoughts and prayers to those affected by the earthquakes and tsunami wave.

Here goes mine:

Heavenly Father,
please grant mercy on the people of Japan,
be a comfort to those who have lost the ones they love,
and give them the strength to rebuild from this catastrophe.
Let them turn to you, Father, to see your grace
given to all creation through your son, Jesus Christ.
In His precious name I pray,
Amen.

Also, I don't know if there's a good way to donate bitcoins to help, but perhaps we can build something for the future towards events like these.

Post what you will, you won't change my faith.  Grin

I don't know if you all are familiar, but I think distributed.net's page is concise (but reports a lot of old news, sadly).

I want to echo what Kiba says here.  Protein folding et al. already have a huge volunteer following, and that takes the profitability away.  I'm mulling over other solutions so I'm not a total negative Nan... ::think, think, think::

Excited about the update!

Ufa: is there a place to go (other than here in the forums) to keep up on your miner updates?

Thanks  Grin Grin Grin

FLEX

It could either stand for flexing (the muscles) or flexible (to bend without breaking).

Hope it works out.  Smiley

"Bitties" is a nice name, though I would rather that 1 bitty = 1 milliBitcoin, and that the whole concept of "bitcent" be put to rest.

Nice!  I totally dig that.

I propose "bitties" over "bitcents".  This way I can say "Fitty bitties to join my committees".

I suppose one alternative market for BTC is "American refugee's" these people tend to be older Americans with strong Republican leanings, politically right wing with somewhat extremist views, they are also often gun nuts and they don't want the socialist Obama Govt to know what there doing...i tend to bump into them on alternative retirement forums (Panama and the Philippines) don't know how they would take the anarchist thing though?  Undecided these guys tend not to be too tolerant and accepting.

Maybe Bitcoin needs a spokes person or 2 to do promotional (forum) work?
I think you just described my leanings, so I'll respond Wink.  I look at Bitcoin to be a well controlled currency (unlike the printing press crazy USD, or the jacked out CHN yuan), that happens to be "government free" rather than "anarchist" (which to me, is two separate situations).  The possibility of easy conversion to local currency is what really attracts me, besides being a life long geek who has been processing on distributed.net for years.

To push Bitcoin, I propose looking at what the third parties to facebook do: make scan cards that can be filled up at store registers and push Bitcoin as the choice for purchasing virtual goods.

So I would like to run the miner on my work computer, but port 8332 is blocked.  I'm able to get around this with distributed.net (cracking RC5-72 keys and OGR 27 nodes) by setting it to port 80.  Would this work with the ufasoft miner?

Thanks,
curator

EDIT: Also if this doesn't work out...could I solo mine with this version?  N00b I know.
