    In a way though, it's not that big a deal. This is heavily engineered towards Radeons, whereas folding is focussed on CPUs and nVidia.

    Then why not put your radeon to use helping another branch of science, milkyway@home loves the massive dp performance of radeons.

    I'm just pointing out that it's not necessarily a straight choice between this and folding.

    Besides, if we're going along the moral road then milkyway doesn't really match folding.

    Is this worth it with my Nvidia card?

    Re: "Folding" for profit, not fun - Bitcoin

    How exactly do I get this working with my 2 HD5830 cards? I've googled round a bit but most help seems to be for Linux machines and I'm running Win 7 x64.

    So far I've got both cards in my PC set up with the latest drivers and ATI Stream 2.1, I don't have a crossfire bridge so crossfire is disabled. I've plugged the monitor into the first card and ran the KIV GUI, it connects fine and the MH/s is around 250. Under GPU-Z the first card is showing as under load so it's working fine.

    I then plug the monitor into the second card, bring up another instance of the KIV GUI and run that, however I only have 2 devices - Cyprus and Intel Core 2 Duo. I run the mining under the same device and same worker (if I use a different worker I get around 10 MH/s) and GPU-Z shows both cards are now under full load and both KIV GUIs show around 250MH/s.

    Is this correct? I'm guessing I'm doing it wrong but I can't get both cards to come up under the KIV GUI.

    Here's a quick screenshot to try and illustrate my point: http://imgur.com/vuxUZ

    From this your GTX 260 is roughly the speed of a HD 4670, if directhex says he gets 1.5BTC per day from 240MH/s, then you will get 0.25BTC per day from 40MH/s. This currently works out at 90p per day from britcoin.com so I wouldn't bother.

    You'll get more performance with some flags on some cards. Try "-v -w128"

    Yep those flags are recommended on the Bitcoin website, the developer tag I have to use for another reason.

    So for each of your tabs on GUIMINER, do you select a different device number? Mine is just showing 1 Cyprus card and my CPU

    Can you try running http://retro.apebox.org/bitcoin/Debug.zip in a command prompt window, and pasting what it says?
