You successfully managed to make Bitcoin mining look epic. Congrats.

Ah...Photobucket finally came back up. Here's what I have to share:
I'm operating off of the assumption that the dust improves my hashrate by 10-20%...this may be flawed logic, though...

Re: BTC hit 120 PLN, (217/156 as valuable as MtGox high) - did anyone notice?

I guess I'm stupid, too...because when I look at the chart over at bitcoincharts.com, it looks like BTC did indeed break 120 PLN back on June 8 on Bitomat. Maybe I've been reading this chart wrong all this time?

Not a cent. Haven't contributed much to the community either...just a little help getting folks nooblier than myself set up mining and the occasional witty banter.
Ima bookmark that webpage in case I'm ever feeling down.
Is this the Russian Rick Roll?

I do have a question for you, Tycho. It seems like Deepbit is going to hit a 50% mark at some point in the extremely near future at the current rate of growth I've been seeing today. You'd mentioned earlier in this thread that you had no plans to exceed that 50% mark...but that may now be happening regardless. My question is whether or not we would be protected (as a pool) from actually executing the >50% attack on the network ourselves by way of some sort of subversion. I'm not horribly tech savvy (as evidenced by my posts around here, I'm sure), but I do see this as a huge potential issue if steps haven't been made to mitigate that sort of risk. I know lots of people around here have brought this up in different ways, but I just wanted to be direct about it.
Other than that one little concern, I've been having a great run in your pool all week. Thanks for having me along.

I can do it. I await your okay.
I'll just test, if that's okay...kinda low on coinage ATM.
i switched to BTCmine since there was no payout! there isnt even a payout button on the user page. i am getting a little bit suspicious now... EDIT: upon further investigation i suspect serious botnet activity on the pool 48 Ghash/s with 2000 connected workers indicates a whole lot of slow miners as only a botnet would have...
actually, my CPU miners are connecting and losing connection every so often, my poclbm(opencl miner) isn't connecting at all(once in a while it'll work) and that where the real power is. No, it's not a botnet. The system doesn't work on a payout button system, it works on a "if my miners make XX amount, then send it".
The pool rate is based on 30min average, it is NOT a 'right now' number. since clients are connecting and disconnecting, it's expected to drop to a low number.
Slush's pool is and has always been legit.
Agreed for sure on that last part...it definitely seems unwell right now, though.

Something is definitely up...I wasn't able to connect at all just now.

Is Tycho an unbiased person to ask? No offense Tycho, but you get 3% of his massive input which is quite considerable. Also, to be honest, I am getting nervous about the size of the pool. Tycho has already said he is investing in mining hardware with his earnings. There is a lot of potential for corruption. I don't believe that Tycho would do this, but having such a large pool and still growing is getting scarry, especially since it is rapidly approaching that fearful 51% scarey.
I am not trying to discourage people to use deepbit, just from allowing it to overcome the bitcoin market.
Tycho's already said that he doesn't plan on taking more than half of the total Bitcoin network over (though I don't know how he plans to mitigate that)...if it gets close, no offense to Tycho, but I should be moving on. It's all about the security of the network.
Cool. Gained about 2-3M hashes by dropping it down to 339. 341 and 339 give me the same. Anything slightly higher or lower give me like 1M less.
This also decreased my card power by 20W, and temperature by about 5C!
Currently running a single 5830 @ 920Mhz. Agression is at 7. At 11 I will gain a few more M hashes. I get 264Mhash/sec now.
Please try mem clk at this speed, 920/3 + 14, that's 320.66= 320 mhz & post how much Mhash/s u get.
At 920/320 I get 263-264.
At 925/324 I get 265-266.
You might be able to OC that all the way up to 960. Hell, I saw Frankiebits say he had his at 1000 for a while...though I couldn't tell you how he did that. I run mine at 960, and I seem to have one of the most unstable systems on the forum in terms of getting the speeds everyone else is. 960 is damn stable, though. I get around 290 or so while using the computer, but I can't get my memory clock as low as I'd like. I'd say edge the core clock up by 5 and just keep an eye on it for a bit. Sometimes I'll launch like 3 Firefox tabs with YouTube videos just to make sure the system is stable before I OC it more.
Edit: If you do this, keep an eye on the temp. I use a tool called GPU Observer...it's a Windows sidebar gadget. Too lazy to link.
