It isn't worth mining on a laptop.

So I was trying to sell some BTC on localbitcoins.com and the buyer pulled out after I put the BTC into escrow so I need to wait for them to confirm in escrow before we can cancel. This was a hour ago and the BTCs still haven't confirmed. How long does this roughly take?

seriously your going to fry the poor card. the water cooler is only keeping the GPU block cool and theres alot more important stuff than just that block there things like the VCC chips (use alot of voltage and if overheated will fry the whole card) then theres the ram if it over heats youll get artifacts and lots of erros. its why when you buy a watercooling block it covers most of the card to keep everything important nice and cool

Literally what this guy said.

Not a fan of mineral oil cooling. You need such a huge reservoir and even then its not that much better than air. If you really want god cooling get some water blocks and make a water cooling loop.

They are selling at a higher price for the ease of service I guess, paypal etc. Ebay doesn't predict the MT Gox price ; )

Re: How I Lost $1500 Worth of BitCoins
by

Hey guys,

I am running Bitcoin-qt on Windows 7.

About a week ago I purchased around $1500 worth of Bitcoin and withdrew it into my freshly downloaded Bitcoin client.   I decide to protect it with a passphrase, so I open up KeePass, a password database I use often and generate a secure password and encrypt my wallet with it.   5 Minutes later, I decided to change the passphrase with a more secure passphrase (not sure why), so I generate a 128 bit secure password, change the passphrase on my wallet file, and overwrite the passphrase saved in KeePass earlier.  I save the KeePass database and to be extra safe, I back up the database to an external drive, as well as my wallet file.

Fast forward to yesterday. I had to restart my computer for some reason.  Prior to this everything was working fine, and my passphrase from KeePass worked.  Today is the first time I try sending coins since restarting my computer, I go to enter the passphrase saved in my KeePass database, and boom, it tells me I'm using an incorrect passphrase.  You can imagine the feeling in the pit of my stomach.    I tried restoring the backups and nothing works.  I see no reason this should have happened since I saved the passphrase inside KeePass.   I could see if I had forgot to save the new passphrase in KeePass but I honestly believe I saved it.

So, I guess I lost $1500 worth of Bitcoin.  I only have one passphrase inside KeePass and it seems like I lost the one I overwrote it with.   I tried all my backups and nothing works.   Worst feeling ever.   If anyone can successfully provide advice on how to get them back I will give them some BTC.   My skype is media504

This is why you should always keep a hard written down copy of very important stuff like that in a safe place, you never know when technology will fail you.

Long poll io error
by

on 03/04/2013, 04:56:02 UTC
It seems I get this error and everything stops working.. Until I press stop mining and start mining -  the GUIminer resumes mining until I get the error again.  I wish to mine when I am away from my computer.

Does anyone know of a way I can make it reconnect when the error occurs ( or the method to stop this error )

Btw I'm using GUIMiner and I'm in deepbit mining pool.
