Topic: Question about difficulty (Read 1198 times)
The miner lists those low difficulty hashes mostly to show you that work is being done. In pooled mining, they are sent to the pool as shares.
Join a pool ... Slush, Deepbit, BTCMine, BTCGuild, etc
If that gfx card is in a machine that is only for Bitcoin mining then don't bother. Give up now.
If it is in a machine that you use for other things, gaming, work, surfing, etc, then carry on and join a pool.

I am new to Bitmining and I am running a NVIDIA 8600 GTS card and im getting about 7.6Mhashes using local mining.
Now the question i have is when i am running guiminer I notice that the difficulty level is always 1. Do i set the difficulty? is there a way to set it? Is this the current correct difficulty level?
I have noticed looking at the mining calculators and such out there that at this difficulty i should be rakeing in the Bitcoins, but many other places I have seen shows that the difficulty is much higher?
What gives?
Obviuosly i thought i had a decent video card untill i saw a list of how many more Mhashes/sec other cards get.
I hope you can help me answer any of these questions and all tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

If you want to mine any coins without actually mining a block, look into "mining pools", such as http://www.bitcoins.lc
You can get fractions of BTC instead of mining an entire 50 BTC block.
you don't find coins, you find blocks. 1 block found earns you 50 bitcoins.
with that card it will be about a year before you find a block solo mining.

Are you talking about the -d1 flag? If so, that's the device, I believe, not difficulty.
Difficulty is something that is network-wide and you cannot alter it in guiminer.
