Re: How should I mine?

Just today I've been tinkering with a two GPU system for the first time. I guess it could have been bad luck/timing, but I was trying to get both GPUs running on BTCguild with phoenix on high aggression and had a lot of network troubles/idling workers. Once I switched one GPU to slush's and the other to BTCguild (also worked when I tested Eligius) all of the network/idling problems went away. Also I suspect I have worse latency to the US than a lot of people.

So basically - this is completely anecdotal advice and I really don't know how the system is "supposed" to work, but after a couple hours of testing my conclusion was: mine in two different pools for best results Smiley

I dunno if any of you guys live in/near Tokyo but a number of stores I've been checking lately have used 5870s for 15,000 yen (~$184). Just as a point of reference for anyone in the area.

Thanks for making these easy to use packages! I seem to have run into a snag though.

When I try to run RPCminer on my 10.5.8 Macbook it tells me:
"dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022" apparently from RPCminer.app/Contents/MacOS/rpcminer_exe: line 62

Any thoughts? Or is it because I need Snow Leopard?

Been lurking on the forums for some time now but finally registered an account so I could respond to this thread Smiley

This project sounds awesome. I'd be interested in helping out if I can. I've studied computer science and some basic comp/electrical engineering in university, work in software development (most recently in the operating system security community), and love tinkering with operating systems/overclocking/rigs.
