Thanks for testing. Must be something wrong there. Which operating system are you guys on?

I seem to lose performance on my BFL Single with 1.3.1beta (around 70Mhps). Can't say about the CPU usage jumps to much to say (current version and beta)
Some other BFL users are getting the same speed with 1.3.1beta as they do with 1.3.0. Can you check this again? Is it constant at 70 Mhps lower than with v1.3.0?
Tested it again. And i lose 70+ Mhps.
Hasnt been running long but looks like from 70-95MH/s slower for me. CPU is the same as before, roughly 14%
Let me know if you need to know what worker I am on.
eta: added a 7970 and it performed as normal

BitMinter client v1.3.1beta is ready for testing.
Small update this time. Please let me know whether FPGA mining still runs well (BFL and Icarus). If you have the time it would also be interesting to hear if CPU usage is lower than with v1.3.0, especially with BFL FPGAs.
New since 1.3.0:

New since 1.3.0:
- Adjust 'BTC per day' display according to reward halving
- Reduced CPU usage for FPGA mining
- Recognize GTX 670 and 680 GPUs
Please check it out:
You might want to update the "Approx. mint speed" cause since the blockreward halfing it is off by about 100%.
Yep, new version coming in a bit.

Maybe it could be worthwhile to use the cpu to mine litecoins -and post-ASICs even gpus.
Someone is already gpu-mining litecoins. They say it's profitable.

Yeah, as long as someone is buying litecoins. I may add support for it later, but ASIC is most important right now.

Bitminter Throttles at 350MH/s on my 5850 cypress, how do I exceed this limit?
It's not throttling. BitMinter client always pushes the GPU as hard as it can. I always planned to add a feature for running it at X percent of capacity, but had no time, so it always runs full speed.
You can try overclocking to get a higher hashrate, it may not be worth the extra electricity though.

If i have a dedicated miner running for 1 month using only the bitminter miner constantly:
Roughly how much bandwidth would that use?
Can anyone give me a ballpark figure for this, i.e: 2 gig per month, 3 gig?

Maybe this can help:

With rollntime and variable difficulty BitMinter client will use very little bandwidth. Even a bit less in the future when I add Stratum support.

Looks like Apple broke Java 6 in the latest update.
If you are having problems getting BitMinter client running on Mac OS X, there is some info about it here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13004854/is-there-any-way-to-reenable-javaws-with-java-6-on-osx-lion
Remember you can start from command line (if you get javaws working with the instructions at that URL):

Bitminter has had a real luck streak today!
Say for example, I have 2 singles. Can I have them set to send the coins they mine to 2 different addresses?
You'd have to create two accounts and run two instances of the miner, one on each account.
I'll be adding a "send X coins to Y address" functionality to the website in the future. With that you could manually withdraw 50-50 to two separate addresses. I'm not planning any automatic income split though.

Please read, two changes in BitMinter reward system: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1250147
The difficulty is getting pretty high now. If it is killing your GPU mining profits, have a look at the scheduling system in BitMinter client, under the automation tab of the options.
If you have cheaper electricity at night you can set it to start mining every night and stop in the morning.
To use the mining rig for heating you may want to set it to stop mining every weekday morning, and start mining again sometime before you get home from work.
