ouch... new difficulty 15605632  Undecided

And next difficulty is at current stipulated to be about 30 mill..... http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php

And it's predicted to happen in just 10 days. I got into BTC mining mid April of this year and bought new GPUs early May, hoping it wasn't too late to catch some profit. Absolutely horrific timing. With every passing day I am further assured of my stupidity. Soon, the electricity cost will outweigh the gain and I will have had enough of this shafting. At which point, gaming may resume.

Any other chumps in the same boat here?

"hoping it wasn't too late to catch some profit"
it's a joke ? Cheesy

how much have you spent on new GPUs early may ?

Switch to Litecoin when your running costs outweigh your profits.

Bitcoin (SHA-256 hash) ASIC technology is not suited to Litecoin (Scrypt) mining, so GPUs will be profitable for sometime to come.

Edit:
Use this to calculate mining profitability on various alt coins:

1.5 months here. I'm still putting my big GPU rig together. I have 4 USB ASICs coming that i paid way too much for. I just need to make enough BTCs that i can start getting in on the orders instead of buying from resellers. For me, this is just a hobby so profits are optional.

Jp 28,4% increase... Best I can think of it that Butterfly labs are "testing" customers ASIC... Since I don't think that there was any big ASIC shipment...

Except all the USB erupters...
There are only 300mh and they are not that many send out jet... To get that you would need 156.800 of them... No way... Or 4000 blades... Again no way...
Yesterday, one (or more) ppl have become from BTL 5ghps miner. They have posted on hungarian bitcoin forum. Have tested too and work fine.
So 8500 have BTL 5,5 have been send out... That would explain that increase. Or am I making some error in calculations? And they would need to be online for the whole time. Not just last days..

surely that must be way off due to the latest change being today and not having any new figures to calculate from.
Its a shame the path of Bitcoin has gone the way of only being a benefit to the rich, the same way banks do....

Resetting my payout address doesnt seem to be working.  I am not receiving the confirmation email.

The account hasnt been used in over a year which may be causing complications?  Anything I can do to change the payout address?

Email has not been working for a few days since there was a database error. I received a response from Slush a couple of hours ago so I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Hello,

it looks that I can't receive emails from slush and that other people here are having the same problem.
In the last weeks I noticed this kind of email problems at many different sites.

Let me explain what had been the reason and what might be the reason here as well.

Many mailservers will reject an incoming mail transfer (SMTP session) when the host from which
the connection is initiated does not have a (correct) reverse mapping. A mailserver without reverse
mapping is assumed to be a SPAM site.

How to check is this is the problem with slush?

Someone with a more relaxed mail server (not caring about reverse mappings) should have a look
at the raw SMTP headers and search for a line

  Received: from [a.b.c.d] (helo=host.domain-name.xxx)

If this message is read by slush or anyone having access to the mailserver, you can also try to connect to
a service like http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-hostname to get the (external) IP.

Then check (Unix syntax) if there is a reverse mapping for that IP:

$ host a.b.c.d

When you get an answer like
Host d.c.b.a.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

this is the problem.

You should then approach whoever is in charge for this IP address to setup a reverse mapping.

Ralf

And it will keep on rising. GPU miners will have to switch over to litecoin one day. I have switched two cards to litecoin right now.

Mine is overdue 3 days now.

Ok, problem solved. I had a pending change for my payout address but because email is not working I couldn't confirm it and this halted my payouts.
