Hello,

I had to be paid about an hour ago and I see that payment in the log (https://deepbit.net/payments), but I don't see it in my wallet and when I try to see the transaction details (https://blockexplorer.com/tx/3dea894a2f2c5a37c48513db618dabc695c08370f45e228279c2619d9745f592) it says "No such transaction".

Are there any problems with payouts?

Thanks.

I have the same problem - transaction is in payment history, but it still isn't in blockchain (searched after 1 hour). Was the deepbit payout system changed to send transaction not imediately but after some time?

EDIT: Trasaction finally arrived - after some 70 minutes.

No problem with payouts & the link shows 0.77900625 btc in the transaction & address.

Have fun but don't splash around too much. I would suggest a PPS pool until you get your AMD GPU's.

I was trying to get you the links to the Hardware Comparison and Mining Rig's but the site seems to be down or gone. Here are the links in case someone else knows where they are now.

However, I will say that there is absolutely no reason anybody should be CPU mining at this time. Even with free electricity, you will wear out your components faster, especially on a laptop. You're essentially trading months/years of use of your laptop for pennies.

Fair observation. At this point I'm only mining to learn how to do it. I'll have to get a GPU or three if I decide to get serious about this.

Pretty much, except for really long blocks, hence the reason to use small PPS pool.

Thanks. I will look for a small pool to play around in.

Thanks for the info Sam. I will look for a Catalyst driver for my 4200 if it is supported. In the meantime I have switched to the Ufasoft miner and I'm now getting 1.2 Mhash/s. After a few minutes, it still hasn't appeared on my deepbit account page, but I'll let it run for awhile and see if it shows up.

The Mobility 4200 is not supported.

CPU mining is very likely to be unproductive. A 1.2MH/s you will earn on average 1 share per hour or about $0.07 per month. You likely will consume 10x to 50x as much in power.

So what you're saying is even if I *do* solve one or two shares an hour, they will be stale/worthless, since the block will already have been solved? Makes sense.

And just to confirm what you already though, my 4200 series card is not supported from all the research I've been able to do.

Too bad about the 4200, but my 4670 only does 34.5 Mhash/s. I wouldn't bother with that anymore, but I run that machine 24/7 as a file and print server so I figured why not mine with it. And I used it for training purposes mainly. It's AGP and that was the only AGP GPU I could find still.

As long as you have long polling, you will not be submitting stales (outside of latency issues where a share is submitted in the time window between an LP sending and you receiving). Since shares don't have any type of progress, you're not "losing" any mining time when changing work to the new work sent by the longpoll.

Once you get your feet wet with your current configuration I would look at building a desktop with a GPU or two and use CG Miner which supports multiple pools with failover.

Sounds like good advice. What other pools would you recommend? Also, do you know if there's a GUI that uses CG Miner as a backend?

Thanks again!

I like Deepbit and BTC Guild the best. I have only used two other pools besides them but not enough to recommend one way or the other.

But while your CPU mining I would search the Pools thread on the forums for a small PPS or SMPPS pool so that you can get some shares in during a round. Smaller pools have longer rounds and PPS earns you a flat rate which would be best for a low hash rate.

No there is no GUI for CGMiner. I like the text base interface myself. It's easy to navigate. But search the CG Miner thread, some guy said that he could/would code a GUI front end. Don't know if he was serious or not.

Happy hashing,
Sam

I was getting 1.42MHsh/s on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 which is pretty good for that older CPU.

About how often were you finding a share with that rate?
Thanks again!

I don't really know. I was CPU mining on my P4's just for giggles to see what the hash rate was. I was getting more than 1 share per 52 minutes though, but the difficulty was allot lower in May/June when I started.

On my laptop which is a dual core 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo I was getting 5.6Mhash/s with about 10 shares an hour or so. Can't remember for sure now.

Anyway I would check into a pool that has a low hash rate and pays PPS, Pay Per Share. Deepbit is solving a block about every 20 or 25 minutes and if you get one or two shares an hour, you will never see a share in that time frame.

At 225 mh/s on (1) 5770, I was getting 1 share every 20s on average. 1.42 mh/s is 0.63% of 225, which would result in 1 share every 3169s (52 minutes). With blocks being on average 10minutes each, this isn't in your favor.

Note that I'm not super fancy at math and I could have converted stuff wrong.

With speeds that low, you will be seeing a long period between shares. A GPU miner runs 300-400 MH/s on average, and even they can sometimes take over 1 minute to find a share (though normally its much faster, and sometimes multiple shares in a second or two, the joy of random hashing!).

With my current setup (Ufasoft at 1.2 Mhash/s) I haven't found a share yet in a little over an hour Sad

I think I'll consider adding a GPU to a desktop and use that.

Quote from: os2sam on October 27, 2011, 02:47:28 PM

If your using Windoze I would download speedfan and monitor your laptops temperatures.

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that.

Yep, give it some time. If your using Windoze I would download speedfan and monitor your laptops temperatures. The Ufasoft miner has CPU Temp throttling mechanism now so the default is to not go over 83 degrees Celsius. But the other temps should be monitored too, especially on a laptop.

Really?!? Kilo Hash/second? Are you CPU mining with a 80486 or something? If you are really that slow then it may not be turning in enough work in a timely manner to make it look like your are mining.

I have a low end GPU which gets about 34.5 MHash/s and it will often go for 3 or 4 minutes without turning in a share. So if you are really mining that slow then it could take 20 or so minutes to find a valid share. Watch the stats page on deepbit for how many shares your miner gets done.
Sam

Fair enough. I was wondering if that rate was slow or not. I'm running this on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with built-in ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series graphics. However, the device that GUIMiner reports as being used is "AMD Athlon II P340 Du" which looks like my CPU instead of the GPU. Any tips on getting the miner to recognize my GPU?

Quote from: os2sam on October 27, 2011, 12:50:46 PM

Deepbit updates the stats very responsively for me. I see my miner find a share and then update my browser and it will have shown up already on the stats page. But it can take a few minutes sometimes. It sounds like you are mining, I would let it go for a couple of hours.

Edit: I meant account page not stats https://deepbit.net/account

Also if you are CPU mining I would use the Ufasoft miner. I was getting 1.42MHsh/s on a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 which is pretty good for that older CPU.
Sam

Thanks. I'll wait a few hours to see if it shows up. I will also try the Ufasoft miner with my CPU if I can't figure out why it doesn't recognize my GPU.

I'm not sure the 4200 series is supported by the Catalyst drivers. If it is then try downloading the ATI/AMD Catalyst package. On my older low end GPU, which a Radeon HD 4670, I had allot of trouble getting a Catalyst package it install at all except for the one that shipped with it on the CD, but that version (9.9ish?) Would not mine. But I finally got Catalyst 10.7 to install and with OpenCL 2.2 got it to work with Phoenix 1.50 and haven't messed with it since.

So I guess I would try Catalyst version 11.6 and use the Ufasoft miner at first. If the miner doesn't work then install the ATI OpenCL version 2.2 and try the Ufasoft miner again. If you have trouble installing the 11.6 catalyst then roll back to around 10.7 and move forward from there until you get one to install.

The Ufasoft miner is the best CPU miner available and works best with Intel CPU's. But it also works with AMD GPU's. And now it even works with Nvidia with Cuda installed.
Good Luck,
Sam
