So long as it does the job routinely for people in the real world, buying a car or just doing the monthly shopping then its good.    I wonder how the card companies would cast their eye over it with all their chip and wf technology

Great initiative! Hope it doesn't require the "admin" to manually fix anomalies every ten transactions though ;-)

If everyone wasn't aware, slush is a little busy with trezor which I just preordered. Check it out, I got to finally see a picture of him. Hope it works with blockchain.

Great initiative ! But really far too expensive for the limited amount of btc I own....

well i've got to say thanks for the intro and help and such but after this statement ---->


"The average time to generate a block at 250.0 Mhps, given difficulty of 15605632.6813, is 8 years, 26 weeks, 1 day, 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 58 seconds"



what with my lonely 1 gpu 6870 (250-300MH) sett-up that runs at approx. 288W on an elec rate of 14.43KW/h and a standing charge of 18pence a day......i'm out.

i'll be back next year when i have a Pi and a BFL Jal'

so long and thnx for all the fish.

sob.
Have fun, dont break anything whilst i'm gone.


Just because you won't find a block, doesn't mean you still can't make $25+ a month mining with that single card.  I don't know if it's worth it for you, but that's the beauty of mining pools.  You don't have to find a block to make btc...

i'd love to, but it would cost me 60 a month or so in power bills to make that ...

< My mining rig >
I have a question about ASIC mining on slush's pool. what software should i use? will the guiminer work? I haven't received delivery of my ASIC yet because; BFL, but I want to be ready to go as soon as I get it.(in 2 weeks apparently)
anyways, what is the recommended software to hook up my ASIC to the pool?

Not sure if guiminer will handle ASICs, but I couldn't get it to work with my FPGAs.  I use it on one gpu rig and cgminer on the other.  I've had trouble with cgminer staying connected for FPGAs so for them I use bfgminer.  Since bfgminer also handles Avalon rigs, I imagine it will run BFL ASICs, too.

I like cgminer myself.

Pretty much the only option for ASIC mining is cgminer or bfgminer.

I too have been wondering about this, I get diverted I think.  api2.bitcoin.cz:8332 is my server? When I open new other miner in GUIminer it asks for an .exe I don't seem to have...
Don't create new "other miner", use the opencl one (prolly there is one open by default).
from the Pools dropdown menu pick "other"
enter stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
fill username and password for the worker

Thank you! That bumped my hash up a bit.
I separated the host and port into there respective entrees.
Host : stratum.bitcoin.cz      Port: 3333
I just updated my currant workers with these, no downtime at all. Thanks again.

Slush's pool is dropping off. Less than 16TH/s now and still dropping. Checked the global network hash rate and that has dropped from 155 to 152TH/s since last night.

BFL began shipping singles yesterday - I suspect the peaks and troughs are bfl testing the ready to release singles on slush's pool!

In a way its good if they are testing, it gives miners fore knowledge of the increases and wont go much above the previous numbers, should mean 1 big difficulty change and then a bit more calm.

from reading forums, the boost was because 50BTC was having connection issues so 4,000gh/s got shifted to slush around 9am est 6/12. it looks like 50% of that has shifted back...
