What's up with the hashrate distribution?

Thank you for the advice.  I'll see you in the other thread about the issues that I am having with it!

Whole network speed can be calculated from the current value of Difficulty.  Here is that plus some other information:

Diablominer is currently the fastest on Nvidia from what I've heard. Try -w 64, and try -f 240 or -f 360 to keep the desktop interactive (although it may slow hashing down).

*Mega-Cough* A $109 5830 pulls 250mhash/sec

edit: by far the best budget card for mining at the moment, price/performance ratio can't be matched. It does however require 2 6-pin connectors whereas the 5770 requires only 1, if I'm not mistaken.

Top right.  Might be a better place though.

            
Pool rate: 1343 Gh/s

where do i find whole network speed? is deepbit way tooo large?

Thanks for the tip, I'll probably get that or something a little better from Radeon when I get some more money.    I think that I like my 550 gtx ti for gaming on Rift, so I'll get that other one for my other system.

Looks more simple than I thought to hook the internet up to a second computer, I only need a specific cable, then I can run them both off of the same internet and have the second computer totally dedicated to BitCoin stuff.

good evening. how does a AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics card rate? have a sweet day.

*Cough* A $150 5770 pulls 200mhash/sec

Just wanted to point out that I'm using phoenix 1.48 miner w/ pocblm kernel on 6 cards and have no problem with stale shares.   Seem like its on your end.  (Not DB)

Ah, I see.  I just got this Nvidia card because I heard that Rift ran better on these.  I went from an Ati Radeon 4650 to an Nvidia 550 gtx ti.  How much of a gain do you think that I would get from using a Radeon card?  Right now it seems like I am getting an average of 35.50 MH/s with you.  I think that it's still within the 30 days and I could return it for something else.

Edit: Crap, I think someone has thrown away the box to the card I just bought.  I do have another system that I'm not running now, so I could use my old card or buy another one in that system.  I could find some way to use the internet on both of my computers (I'll have to probably figure that out myself) and set them up separately.  Could probably just hook one of my monitors up to it long enough to get it going then unplug it and put it back on this one, since I have two monitors.

E-mail is not sent just because of registration yet :)

The problem is that you are using Nvidia's card instead of ATI. Nvidia cards don't have hardware support for bitwise shifts and thus are inferior for hashing.

New to Bitcoin as of today.  Initially went with another mining pool for an hour or so but decided to switch to Deepbit to try it out instead.

My account still says unconfirmed email, and have not received an email in the spam folder or otherwise.  How long should I wait to get that before I seek help for it?  Did a search on this forum and didn't come up with anything.

Using Phoenix miner, and it was easy to set up thanks to the people here and the Deepbit site.  Looking forward to gaining from this neat application.  I believe that I will mostly use it to pay for an online game I play (Rift) and for perhaps website hosting or any of the list of things that I've found through the BitCoin site.

Can't believe that a hardcore geek such as myself didn't hear about this until today!  Found it through surfing around on old posts at Lifehacker.

Also, using D:\Programs\BitCoin Miner\phoenix.exe -u http://*@*.*:*@deepbit.net:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=3 as my command line.  I have an Nvidia 550gtx Ti graphics card, so what aggression setting would you use if you were me?  Seems like my speed isn't as fast as some people have here, but I realize that it's only a $200 card and people here probably have ones that are much more expensive.  

Edit: Going to try this GUI BitCoin application that I just found.  Looks a lot nicer than doing things through the command line.

1. Many users have reported that their hashrate reported by phoenix miner is higher than in reality.
2. Try setting your speed averaging window at deepbit site to 30 or more minutes to check if this hashrate is correct or not.

I just switched to phoenix and phatk from guiminer and, for some reason, the deepbit.net "Average speed in last 10 minutes" is much less than the rate that phoenix is reporting. It's been right at 286mhash/sec in phoenix, but the website says 191-220 mhash/sec.

Using guiminer, it'll stay at around 276 mhash/sec and deepbit.net will report right around that same number.

What am I doing wrong?

On an unrelated note, does anyone have a good recipe for gumbo or something similar? I'm thinking of making use of this heat production with some slow-cooking.

thanks for the pointers. i was looking for a resource. have a great day.

Well, if you want to know how all the network is constructed, you'd better read bitcoin wiki at http://bitcoin.it
Sorry, it's just already there - about what a block is, what is a difficulty and so on.

With your speed of 1470 kH/s, you'll need 48 minutes and 41 seconds on average to generate one share.
And on average you'll need 244139 shares (=current difficulty) to find one really winning, if you were mining solo.

You need to earn at least 0.01 BTC, then you can set up autopayment or press "Instant payment" button on the payments page of the site.

thanks for the primer.
i will write to you what i think i understand from your explanation. please let me know if i miss something. so 1 share = 1 hash found. no all share/hashes are winning, but all demonstrate to the network that i am an honest miner. my miner is working at 1470 khash/s, etc. on coming up with a hash to submit to earn a share. some of these hashes are winning. winning hashes create a block. what is a block?

your english is better than my bitcoin-ese. also, i've earned 0.0006 BTC but nothing shows up in the bitcoin program which i gather is my BTC wallet. are payouts only made when i have at least 1 BTC? thanks again.

6 blocks per hour is the target speed for the entire network.

And the variation is expected, it's almost a random process.
