Mine Bitcoins? Wanna mine Bitcoins? It's fun and profitable, especially with ATi hardware! If so, consider coming to ZABitcoin mining pool! I wanna join but we need more members to get the hashing rate up, so I'll join if more people wanna come. Anyone keen? http://www.zabitcoin.co.za
 
I would do it, If i didnt have to download 181 megs, it was going at 10kb, thats gonna take forevaaaaaar!!
 
Dude will i get paid like the other sites?

Also it said i was registered but when i log in it says i am not. How long does it take to the first block? I don't wanna sit on 0 for the next year :eek:

Ok all good but problem connecting

Yeah that's actually how I feel too! That's why I mine with slush'es Pool. But if we can get enough people to join it will be worth it.

Also just wanna raise bitcoin awareness in general, I think it could be huge! Currently mining with 750Mhashes a second.
 
Cost of electricity?
Has to be factored in. This is not something I'm throwing my life savings at, but quite fun. On that note, what is the approximate price for a unit (KWh) of electricity? About 90c a unit, am I right?
 
It won't connect am i doing something wrong?

41.74.101.5 i have tried mine.zabitcoin.co.za won't connect to either.
 
Maybe the port number? Ha I haven't actually tried to mine with them, as I say I mine with slush.
 
Well try it you nooblet :D, just set your cpu to run it for the moment and see if you can connect.

Tell me connection problem.
 
In username I put Synaethesia.alpha so it's username.minername. Default miner name is "1" with password "x".
Also, don't mine with CPU - totally not worth it. Actually mining is only worth it with ATi 5xxx or 6xxx GPU's
 
No i don't, there is no point mining with anything but an ati card.

O well i tried it but still won't connect, will look into it tomorrow night.
 
I'll help, but what can i do with bitcoins....like really usefully do with them?
 
You are able to send someone money instantly nywhere in the world, without involving any government or bank or financial institution at all as well as completely securely and transparently and you see the power of bitcoin.
Their scarcity is guaranteed - no government or bank controls bitcoin, no single authority can control it. With any other currency governments are free to print as many as they want which leads to inflation - devaluation of currency. That cannot happen with bitcoin.

In other words bitcoins have all the properties of a great single global currency.
