im using the 64bit linux version. i installed two days ago and produced three lots of 50 coins. yesterday i produced 50 coins within two hours of the last lots completing and have had no others even starting since then. the last lots completed 8:51 am yesterday and its now 10am the next morning and ive got no transactions working at all. have i been snubbed for completing the last two too quickly? if so how long does this last?

I’ve been generating for nearly two days straight and have not produced a single coin. It seems distribution is completely random.

The production rate depends on your hashs per second and the probability of 1 hash to be the right one.

so basically khash/s * luck factor = generaterd bitcoins.

Given the current jump in ‘difficulty’ at around 875 khash/s I should be generating a block every 2.8 days.

So, no complaints… yet. 😄

Thanks for making that calculator.

The difficulty doubled a day or two ago, plus it’s just random and you can have surprisingly long dry spells.

No problem, Satoshi. Alloscomp.com is my domain.

It’s nice to see you around!

If anyone has a right to complain about coin generation (or lack thereof), it is me. I’m using a 600MHz Pentium III with 384 MB of RAM. I haven’t generated ANY coins.
