Exchanging your BTC for cash as in actual banknotes means meeting someone in person.



I agree, but it's a risk too.

You can never bee 100% sure that one isn't changing false money into real, secure but also anonymous Bitcoins.

I think bank accounts are more secure than cash.

What's about bank account verification to allow buying with paypal?

I too was scammed twice and stopped selling with Paypal payment option.

But I still think that Paypal would, if really save, be best for Bitcoin exchange.

Assume Bitmarket.eu as an example would only allow someone to pay Bitcoin with Paypal if he sucessfully payed Bitcoins buyed on Bitmarked.eu with his own bank account. Confirmed by a 100% trustable seller of course.

Wouldn't something like this be an option to make the hole thing faster and saver?

A bank account is much harder to overtake than a bad secured ebay, paypal or other internet account. How should a scammer organize such a bank payment if he doesn't own the bank account?

I don't know in what country you live but giving out your bank info should be save.

If this isn't the case, how should money transfer work?

Paypal (and others too) of course isn't save at all for sellers.

Check this first:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Your 4350 will make something around 8Mh/s...

That is 0.003834 BTC per day or with a course of 11USD/BTC something like 0.042174 USD per day

Try other card or other OS.

Would be slow anyway...

dict.leo.org ->elaborate...

ahh, elaborate is something like ausführlicher in german. Had to look it up, I'm not very english savy Smiley

Are you trying this on a Windows Operating system?

Windows doesn't activate (or recognize if you want) graphic cards that don't have a display/monitor connected. If Windows doesn't activate the card GUIminer cannot run calculations on it too.

Is there something connected to the card beside pcie and power?

If you're on a Windows OS connect a display device or a modified adapter to the card, otherwise Windows doesn't activate the card.

Activate the display in screen resolution dialog before you start the miner and it should work.

How to enable/activate inactive cards on Linuxcoin?
by
nopan
on 06/08/2011, 18:20:18 UTC
The subject is the question:

I have two cards installed in a Linuxcoin machine. The two cards are a 5850 and a 5770. The 5850 is installed in the first 16x pcie slot, the 5770 with a 100% working riser in the second (1x) pcie slot.

The Mainboard is an Asus K8V-XE, Bios version is 0401.

Console output:

user@linuxcoin:~$ AMDOverdriveCtrl -h
INF: Nr. of Adapters: 5
INF: Adapter index: 0, active, ID:8819696, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 1, inact., ID:8819696, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 2, inact., ID:8819696, ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
INF: Adapter index: 3, inact., ID:8819696,
INF: Adapter index: 4, inact., ID:8819696,
Usage: AMDOverdriveCtrl [-h] [-b] [-a] [-c ] [-i ] [profile name]...


If i install the 5770 in the first pcie slot it works, then i got two adapters, index 0 as active and index 1 as inactive.

I have some linux experience but no experience at all with mining bitcoins on linux or Linuxcoin.

Any idea?
