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! If you have access to free electricity though, then there really is no argument against mining (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. Please make sure you are using the most recent drivers for your particular graphics card. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2.
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. This guide is going to cover what is known as pooled mining, or working together with many other miners to share the rewards when a block is generated. The way slush's pool works is each connected miner is given a block of a very low difficulty to work on. 1. 2. 3. 4. Simple enough?
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. Republicans are making a great show of acting tough by linking their "yes" votes with promises for future budget cuts (that could even slow the rate of debt increases at some uncertain point in the future). But as we go through the process, many novice observers may wonder why we have a debt ceiling at all when our government has never shown the slightest inclination to respect its prior self-imposed limits. Despite the costs associated with the Korean War, the next increase did not come until 1954.

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. 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.

The benefits of a currency like this: You can watch a simple video here: Where Do Bitcoins Come From? Who Invented Bitcoins? How Does One Buy and Sell Bitcoin?
