    Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking on the train this morning. It's a lot of money I don't actually have, until I have it. Sod doing that for a living.

    I'll play around a little more and see if I can get it working. I've got a crossfire bridge coming in the post soon as well.

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

    How long should it take to connect to anything? I just get "connection problems", even though I've set an exclusion in the firewall and forwarded the 8332 port.

    Should be more or less instant. Try another pool - otherwise it's likely a local issue to you.

    Tried different pools, all fail to connect. Don't know what else I could do, maybe will look into that later.

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

    What do you guys think is the best mining pool? Oh, and I read somewhere you could CPU mine? Can't find any information on that.
    Cleavage is like the sun...Quick glances.

    290Mhash/s on a 5850...
    1.9Mhash/s on a E3400 @ 3.4...

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

    Well, I bought the GPU for wifey's new PC early, stuck it in my desktop, and will leave the thing mining while we're on holiday in Orlando. Total for both GPUs: 610 MHash/s and a machine that sounds like a Boeing 747. Have set one card to one pool and t'other to another, to hedge my bets against one going down unexpectedly

    Edit: Maybe not. Without adequate cooling, my 5850 is rather unhappy & is clocked down, so total is about 500

    BTW, it's the real deal: £62 arrived in my account this morning, to cover the 2 week time period I mentioned (19.5 BTC)

    the extra flags -v -w128 have pushed me over the 520mhash/s mark now... They seem to work well.
