Bitcoins!

$3.1800/btc! :d
 
Just started this a few days ago, BTC loves my 6990 :D
 
paul:
are you running both cards 6990+570?
if yes, which card/driver did you install first?
 
Nope, was doing for a single vantage run but the 570 is now pending and boxed up ready to go! :)

I installed the amd drivers first when i got physx hack to work :)
 
The two laptops weren't much help, just added 3 MH/s (1.8 MH/s and 1.2 MH/s). :laugh:
 
tbh, mining with 57XX or 67XX or better is really the minimum I would mine with. cpu is out of the question, even if electricity would have been free
 
SHIT!

CoinCard got shutdown!

How the hell else am I supposed to make money???
 
really? well just do bitcoin-otc if you can be bothered
 
wow. what is this?
is it really tru that you can convert bitcoins to money? im too poor to loose anything in experimenting LOL.

Yes, very true. Only way you could lose money is via your electric bill due to slightly higher use of electricity from running your GPU all day and all night.

Man that sucks CoinCard is out. That site was great and easy!

Why did Paypal suspend their account? Anyways hope they get back up once I have collected more coins.

Also you think it would be a good idea to buy bitcoins when they are cheap and sell them later for more when they are high? Any risks?

No point in doing that if you are going to mine. Mining presents little to no risk, you might be out $50 if bitcoins fails. However, buying a ton and selling later, well maybe bitcoins get banned by the US government, then you get screwed.

I don't have to buy a ton.

If I just buy 20 bitcoins when they are low for like $15 and then sell them when they are high for $60, well that their is a $45 profit with a risk of $15.

I'd like to try it, but since CoinCard looks like it will be down since paypal cut him off I'm not sure I will be able too atm.
 
Paypal cutting of a person who buys bitcoins is not a good sign at all. They must have a reason for this.

Yeah. They finally recognized Bitcoin as an ecurrency.

Thats the exact reason right there.

Paypal originally had said it was ok for him to have the site and conduct the business he was doing. But later they said that the people that said it was ok for him to do it were not authorized to give the ok.

Man.. BS is everywhere..
 
I have 0.28 BTC now :laugh:

I think I got that for around 7-10 hours in total, spread in two days, I think?

yes but first we need to observe the rise and fall of its value. and we need to find out what parameters determine the value. if you need help i can help you.

thigs should stable out first before we make any serious investment. for the time being its okay i guess to deal with investments of 20$

Yup, i made 4 BTC on the double trouble, guess i got really lucky. Won't dare to tryit again though, seems really risky when you only mine with a few gpu's.

Oh right, i'll post my setup.
1x Ati 5770 512mb @850/1000 183Mhash/s
1x Ati 5770 1024mb @850/1200 183Mhash/s
And a friend who owes me money mines with his:
1x Ati 5770 1024mb @Stock 155Mhash (thinks he needs to upgrade/downgrade the ati stream)

Will soon invest in a 5850 using the money i've earned. You gotta love bitcoin! :D
 
umm.. can someone help me set this up?? thank you!
i downloaded it and installed. now i have selected the generate bitcoins option from settings. now what?

use phoenix miner, much faster, actually, the newer version of m0mchil is the same speed I think, I'm comparing right now

pheonix a a bit faster and does not have any problems with my crossfire (m0mchill does)
