is this a typical problem for you/others? i just started GPU mining a couple of weeks ago and don't know if i'm getting stale shares or not...but i'm getting paid every other day so how bad can it be? not mining at any sort of impressive rate, but it's working as proof of concept for future build plans 

btw, thx to slush for operating the pool. i see a lot of whining and complaining in this thread, but not too many thank yous. so thanks.

You may be surprised. What kind of GPU are you working with?

Hello,

I would suggest reading this to get started:

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

Keep in mind the difficulty for BTC mining has increased since ASICs are coming online, so your ability to mine for profit and/or to recover hardware costs may be limited with BTC.

You may consider mining other coins, or purchasing coins outright through an exchange if you're looking to invest.

Best of luck

cooling is important. there's a reason the biggest miners are using open air setups.

cheers

I saw you mention 560 Ti earlier. That's my card. What hash rate did you see before/after this mod? I'm getting 80-90 mh/s now using GUIMiner w/ rpcminer-cuda.exe but would welcome any additional boost if possible.

If this is about the best I can do with current card, I will likely do a new build + move to Litecoin soon.

thanks

thank you!

has anyone compiled binaries for Windows x64? very interested in this

thanks

currently just toying around with my older gaming rig to try my hat at mining [thus newbie]

EVGA GeForce GTX 560Ti [stock] hashes at anywhere from 65-90 MH/s

That's using GUIMiner -> rpcminer-cuda.exe

Does anyone know if I can mine LTC using CUDA or OpenCL? I tried to get it rolling last night with no luck. This was while slush's pool was down so I figured it was a good time to give Litecoin a try since I will likely be moving to that with a GPU setup in the near future.

Thanks have a great afternoon

so would someone explain this to me then?

is it possible/likely that one person purchased several Avalons or multiple folks are working together in a pool specifically to cheat the system?

how about the supposed BFL's? would they be detectable if they brought all their miners online to stage such an attack?

That's kind of unbelievable.


Exactly. Use your head, people!

hello and good morning!

just a quick note to introduce myself. engineering background, coding/hardware builds for professional fulfillment/personal satisfaction.

trying my hand at mining on a very small scale. not sure about investing in something more "sustainable" as it appears difficulty will be cranked up beyond the reach of hobbyist GPU miners. here's to hoping for an "affordable" ASIC rig we can actually purchase in the near future?

hope all are having a great weekend. happy mining 

good morning 

new to BTC and mining started earlier this week. just going verrrry slow for now and trying to read as much as i can about the community, technology etc. trying to decide if investing in better mining hardware makes sense with the ASIC stuff happening now. maybe if some folks manage to get a bulk order of the avalon chips and offer something?

for now just running a single GPU CUDA miner as an experiment/for fun *pushes up glasses*

anyway, hello, and thanks in advance for adding me to the list!
