I switched to a different miner, and got a block within minutes, then another. Weird.

Hello, a question from a newbie.

I have setup a couple of computers with GPUs to mine Bitcoins on testnet.

I am getting over 300 Mhash/s combined rate.

If my calculations are correct at the current testnet difficulty below 43, I should be getting over 35 hundred testnet Bitcons a day; I am getting nothing. Do I understand the difficulty correctly? Could somebody please check my math?

How long does it normally take to mine testnent Bitcoins?

Perhaps something is wrong with my setup, though I get no errors.

The following thread indicates that solo mining has been broken in the bitcoin client after version 0.3.21.

Is this information still current? 0.3.21 sounds like an awfully old version to use. I am on v0.8.1 right now.

Thank you.
