Y)^_°(V) - How To Set Up Pooled Bitcoin Mining In Windows (Please Note: This guide is mostly up to date…. syntax and URLs may not be 100% correct, please extrapolate if you have to and let me know in the comments so I can try to fix stuff… Updated 4-10-13) So, you've read my previous article about using your GPU to mine for bitcoins, but now that the difficulty is starting to get high absurd, you may be having a hard time generating any bitcions on your own (especially if you have non-specialized hardware). Never fear, there is a solution! NOTE: You really should take a look at my first article to make sure that your hardware is even capable of supporting opencl, and you should also be using the most recent version of the drivers for your particular graphics device. Also there is a bit of information on setting up Kiv's GUIMiner in my other guide, which will make setting up pooled mining even easier; I may further update this guide at some point. 1. 2. There are 4 boxes below threshold: Estimated, Unconfirmed, Confirmed, and Total reward. 3. 4.
Y)^_°(V) - How to get started using your GPU to mine for Bitcoins on Windows (In a slight departure from my normal content…) Money for only running your computer!? It's more likely than you might think! No referral pyramid scam shit, you can make as much money as you have computing power to devote. ***NOTE: Since the difficulty is very high, unless you have an ASIC mining device and/or a very significant aggregate hash rate (over several TENS OF Ghash/sec or more) you are probably going to spend more on electricity than you can recoup in mined bitcoins, even when mining in a pool! (aside from the *possibility* of shortening the lifespan of your graphics card(s)/mining hardware). This post is aimed mostly at people who are already familiar with Bitcoin (Wikipedia page), and would like to get started using their GPU(s) to mine for bitcoins in a Windows environment. First of all, you are going to need a graphics card that supports CUDA and/or OpenCL; most graphics cards from the past 2-3 years will support this. 1. 2. 3. 4. (Recommended) 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. -f 60
Steve Keen's Debtwatch I’ve attended two conferences in two days where both the power and the impotence of the European Central Bank (EBC) have been on vivid display. Its political power is considerable, both in form and in substance. At both seminars, the ECB speaker—ECB Board member Peter Praet at the first, and ECB President Mario Draghi at the second—spoke first, and then left. In form, the ECB has no need to defend its policies because it is unimpeachable in its execution of them. In substance, it does not even considering engaging with its subjects—I use the word deliberately—in open and robust discussion. The position of the economy in the environment is a shared blindspot in economics: no existing school handles the topic well, and yet this is the key issue we need to understand.

untitled U.S. crackdown doesn't distinguish between Caribbean tax havens and Canada rluciw@globeandmail.com A tax crackdown by the United States has sent more than one million Americans and green-card holders living in Canada scrambling to figure out how to comply. The move is part of a push by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to make sure U.S. taxpayers are paying what they owe on foreign accounts. That means that people like Kerry Knoll's two teenage daughters, who have never had a U.S. address or earned a penny there but have dual Canadian and American citizenship, will have to file U.S. tax returns on accounts they hold in Canada and may face penalties. "Suddenly we are being told that my daughter's savings account from her summer job is considered an illegal offshore account by the Americans, something that I find preposterous," Mr. "My daughters might owe thousands out of their registered education savings plans (RESP). Mr. 1: Determine your status.
Raising the roof on debt Peter Schiff is one of the few non-biased investment advisors to have correctly called the current bear market before it began. Published time: May 17, 2011 18:38 Today the U.S. government officially borrowed beyond its $14.29 trillion statutory debt limit. And even though the Obama administration has assured us that accounting gimmickry will allow the government to borrow for another few months, the breach has given seeming urgency to Congressional negotiations to raise the debt ceiling. The ceiling was first imposed in 1917 as part of a deal that passed the Liberty Bond Act that funded America's entry into the First World War. The problem was that Congress never passed a law to prevent future Congresses from raising the ceiling. Despite the costs associated with the Korean War, the next increase did not come until 1954. Practically speaking, a ceiling that is raised automatically is no ceiling at all. A reduction in debt levels is good economics.

L019: Bitcoin P2P Currency: The Most Dangerous Project We've Ever Seen - Launch - Solid discussions of this piece on BoingBoing.net, Hacker News, Slashdot and Reddit. Rob Tercek has a follow up to this piece here. by Jason Calacanis and the LAUNCH team A month ago I heard folks talking online about a virtual currency called bitcoin that is untraceable and un-hackable. Folks were using it to buy and sell drugs online, support content they liked and worst of all -- gasp! -- play poker. Bitcoin is a P2P currency that could topple governments, destabilize economies and create uncontrollable global bazaars for contraband. I sent the 30 or so producers of my show This Week in Startups out to research the top players, and we did a show on Bitcoin on May 10. After month of research and discovery, we’ve learned the following: 1. What Are Bitcoins? 1. Each owner transfers the coin to the next by digitally signing a hash of the previous transaction and the public key of the next owner and adding these to the end of the coin. The benefits of a currency like this:
Comparison of mining pools Reward types & explanation: CPPSRB - Capped Pay Per Share with Recent Backpay. [1] DGM - Double Geometric Method. A hybrid between PPLNS and Geometric reward types that enables to operator to absorb some of the variance risk. Operator receives portion of payout on short rounds and returns it on longer rounds to normalize payments. [2] ESMPPS - Equalized Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like SMPPS, but equalizes payments fairly among all those who are owed. [3] POT - Pay On Target. A statistically valid analysis of some pools and their payout methods: Bitcoin network and pool analysis SPV Mining / Old Bitcoin Core The following pools are known or strongly suspected to be mining on top of blocks before fully validating them with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later. BTC Nuggets F2Pool[5] AntPool[5] The following pools are believed to be currently fully validating blocks with Bitcoin Core 0.9.5 or later (0.10.2 or later recommended due to DoS vulnerabilities): References See also

Will this slow down my computer? No. Do I need to keep this page open to generate bitcoin? Yes. I generated a payout in 5 minutes but it says it takes 2.5 hours. Payouts are essentially random. Why does the payout change? The bitcoin network adjusts the difficulty of the puzzle approximately every 2 weeks. I'm close to generating a payout, will I lose my progress if I turn off my computer? No.

Aldous Huxley: The Mike Wallace Interview THE MIKE WALLACE INTERVIEWGuest: Aldous Huxley5/18/58 WALLACE: This is Aldous Huxley, a man haunted by a vision of hell on earth. A searing social critic, Mr. WALLACE: Good evening, I'm Mike Wallace. He's just finished a series of essays called "Enemies of Freedom," in which he outlines and defines some of the threats to our freedom in the United States; and Mr. HUXLEY: Well, I don't think you can say who in the United States, I don't think there are any sinister persons deliberately trying to rob people of their freedom, but I do think, first of all, that there are a number of impersonal forces which are pushing in the direction of less and less freedom, and I also think that there are a number of technological devices which anybody who wishes to use can use to accelerate this process of going away from freedom, of imposing control. WALLACE: Well, what are these forces and these devices, Mr. WALLACE: Uh-huh. WALLACE: Well, why should overpopulation work to diminish our freedoms?
LRB · Donald MacKenzie · How to Make Money in Microseconds What goes on in stock markets appears quite different when viewed on different timescales. Look at a whole day’s trading, and market participants can usually tell you a plausible story about how the arrival of news has changed traders’ perceptions of the prospects for a company or the entire economy and pushed share prices up or down. Look at trading activity on a scale of milliseconds, however, and things seem quite different. When two American financial economists, Joel Hasbrouck and Gideon Saar, did this a couple of years ago, they found strange periodicities and spasms. The most striking periodicity involves large peaks of activity separated by almost exactly 1000 milliseconds: they occur 10-30 milliseconds after the ‘tick’ of each second. Little of this has to do directly with human action. Human beings can, and still do, send orders from their computers to the matching engines, but this accounts for less than half of all US share trading. Speeds are increasing all the time.

Easily the worst performer this year will be Cyprus, whose output will continue to tumble, with GDP falling by 4.8%. In contrast with these southern sluggards, two Baltic states continue to race ahead. The main impetus behind the euro zone’s recovery this year will be Germany, which makes up nearly 30% of the currency club’s collective output, and which is predicted to grow by 1.8%.
