I have a question. I got 4 workers one GPU 8600GT turning out around 5000khash, another GPU - 7000 khash, 2 CPU turning out 4000khash resp. 2000khash. I usually get 0.01 BTC or lower per block found by the pool( ~0.3 BTC per day). Is this the normal payout :-/ ? Just asking .. cause it doesn't seem much for a day's work.
Thanks. have a nice day.
Here is an example [hope my math is correct]
From http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stats/ we can see about how many hashes per second the pool is doing, for example, right now: 64.040 Ghash/s You are doing 5000 + 7000 + 4000 + 2000 = 18,000 kHash/s = 0.018 Ghash/s Your % of the pools power = (100 / 64.040) * .018 = 0.0281074329%
This assumes you did 18kHash for 24 hours straight on 2/15/2011, and the pool's power stayed the same the entire day (it doesn't), but it gives you a ballpark of what you can make.
You don't need Bitcoin client working for mining. Please follow instructions from pool homepage, there are few clients, compilation is not needed in any case.
Really? I thought that in order for the miner to mine, bitcoin had to be running with the -server switch. At least, that's what the guide for m0mchil's miner from http://www.newslobster.com seem to say.
That is for solo minning. When you solo mine, your miner ask the bitcoin client what work it should do. In slush's pool, your miner ask Slush's server what work to do (as far as I know)
did the pool think we solved it and it was determined some one else actually solved it?

thanks m0mchil for your work.

"My Account" page started messing up for me last night. The workers table columns are messed up.
the "score" column has the "last share at" value, the "last share at" has the "action" column, and the "score" value doesn't display any more.

I don't mind paying a fee to be in the pool. It's just not a donation any more.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 5800 I tried running the cpu miner and it worked, but opencl wouldn't run. So got the stream 2.3k SDK and now opencl can run, BUT I cant get any work done. Same command line parameters in the cpu miner gets work done (~4500 hash/s)
