xenigo, make an account at btcguild.com once you have done that go back to guiminer and select the btcguild (any) from the server list, input your username and password. let me know what it does next

GUIMiner has a "solo" function which I take to mean that it can mine without a server. Am I not understanding that function correctly?

yeh that should work too, when you select summery or console does it show you anything? only reason why i mention joining a pool is that you make a lot more bitcoins that way.

with solo you have to run your own bitcoind instance. unless luck on your side solo may not bring any rewards with little hashing power as difficulty increases so is time to mine a block at x MH/s

I seen that pic like 10 years ago there is a helicopter sitting at the top that is cut off.

OP What's your skype or email, if you don't mind talking for a minute!

my skype is Boydy369

is that the XFX HD 7970? 3gb?

Monday I am going to BFL to see if they are real.

I will report back on the results.

:2 cents:

xfx have a red plate on the top
also they are not very good for mining

He is getting 2mhash/$ which is pretty good for card based. What model 7970 do you prefer?

They look like gigabyte 7970
I prefer sapphire mine are great the sapphire 7950 gets 540H with no over clock and sits at 62c the 7950 xfx i have will not go over 280H and the xfx 7970 i have wont go over 530H with any type of over clock and they also run very hot 80-90c and are loud.

If i was going to start again i would get the sapphire 7970/7950 vapour x i think the 7950 are better value for money/hash.

Yeh they are gigabyte, also can't wait for the report back adultpornmasta

mining in a pool wont make any difference at all, because at the end, when you find the block and complete the cycle, each miner will get the same part as if they mined individually..

Its funny to think that people who join NIXXIN pool, will make more money lol...

BTW, Nixxin (BILL MURRAY), claims to do 2700 M/s, after spending 1500 bucks in the setup. (however he claims to have 3 ATI 7970 GPU's, which in total can do 2000 M/s at MAX, so he is full of shit there..)

But, let's take his number of 2700, According to the calculator:

per Month ฿5.38 $621.36

And he claims to be from Canada, where electricity is fucking expensive.

So, he makes with luck between 400-500 per month.

You consider that a lot of "money" ?

With luck, if the bubble doesn't crash, he will recover the 1500 bucks in 3 months.

And, you must consider the difficult of mining gets harder each day.

So, make that 3.5-4 months... And then, if the bubble doesn't crash, he could make some bucks. LOL.

Just an update, Gf is starting to think im crazy, "so what movie do you want to watch?" "THE BITCOIN"

http://i.imgur.com/yMxg95F.jpg

Again i will explain it because you seem to post this in every thread im in and its pretty childish.

i was getting around 2700 with cgminer + custom flags but as i have stated before and i guess i will have to remind you again, i am having heating issues. hence why i needed to roll back my core and mem clocks. As an added bonus i dont pay electricity where i live. thats taken care of. I started this not as a Get Rich Quick scheme but as a hobby, i make more money/BTC by day trading the coins i have. But hey, if its making me an extra $400 a month extra at the currect BTC price then thats nothing to sneeze at.

"With solo mining, you have a small chance at getting the full payout of 25 BTC ranged around the time it should take to get you a block. The error in this range is what is known as luck. You could have good luck and get a block before the time you're supposed to, and you could have bad luck and not get one for a long time.

What solo mining does is takes the amount of work you do, and runs it through an equation that gives you the exact amount you should have gotten paid in that time period taking into account your hashrate.

For example: You have x hashrate which should get you a block every 10 days. You join a pool and they pay you 2.5 BTC per day to mine; this will give you 25 BTC every 10 days. If you were solo mining with x hashrate and you should get a block every 10 days, it could be 8, it could be 25"

your welcome. :thumbsup

My report will be a few days late because I have to go out of town this morn due to a family emergency.

:(

Hey guys, heres just a heads up with my mining progress.

Here is what ihave made so far trying out PPS & PPLNS, Two different ways of mining.

This is my mining uptime/stats with my rig. you can see ive had a lot of downtime, due to the fact that i use my work laptop as a way to route internet to my box, so when i work i need to unhook it from the internet. i need to get a usb wireless adapter for $11 at bestbuy but i been too lazy. so over the past week i think ive done less mining than more mining.

http://i.imgur.com/rZhaHrG.png

and this is what it looks like if i was going to sell right now @ the price of $120/BTC hopefully when/if bitcoin reaches $200 again all that i mine will be doubled. Mtgox had a powerful ddos against it the other day due to the new technology that mtgox is using so they can pretty much block ddos now and it actually diddnt affect trading whatsoever, the price stayed the same, silly me i sold a bunch at 95ish and saw it rise to 110 so i bought back in.

Interesting, so they finally got Prolexic implemented!

I can't make up my mind if we're gonna see a gradual increase over the next week or if it'll hit a point and come crashing down again like last week. If Mt Gox can stay online I suppose it's less likely to drop due to a DDOS attack at least.

How many days did it take to mine your 0.7 coin, 1 week?

Good job Nixxin, i think shit will get easier and better for you, gotta start somewhere, even if it's just 1 coin for now

Made my first Bitcoin.

Note to self, turn fan on its side for better airflow.

[QUOTE=NiXXiN;19577078]pushing back to 2000MH/S, still gotta try and figure out this heating issue with the middle card, its a piggy int he middle and the other two are heating them out, got a nice setup going on now though, logmein set up on all my devices so if anything happens i can change it at a moments notice, also thinking of setting up a webcam of the rig so if i see the fan stop working i can shut it down, havent figured out yet how to shut the system down if temp reaches over a certain number, will be doing that soon, also setting up a router down there so i dont have to route the net through my spare laptop thats sitting on top.



you could get a usb power controller to shut it down remotely or based on temp provided the rig can tell its own temp.

Make it while you can! The ASIC chips are already changing the game and GPU's will be pointless very soon.

If you're interested in running asic boxes, take a look at http://launch.avalon-asics.com

Do NOT work with ButterFly Labs--I haven't read a good word about them yet, thats besides the fact that they have STILL not delivered a single box.

We are not far from needing to be in the TH/s range.

Good luck miners!

[QUOTE=campromoter;19595458]It's all good now, there is a setting in cgminer that turns shit off when I reach a max temp

Pfftt.... One ASIC mining rig can out do your 30 machine cluster and not even break a sweat. Those monsters pump 60GHash/sec. :disgust
