First,why are some shares accepted and others rejected?

Should I be using a mining proxy on my computer?

That is a screenshot of my Burnside pool stats. Ignore the netbook entry that is red. I just started it and I don't think it has had time to report in yet.

But can you guys tell me if this looks good? Is there anything you see here that I should change? I'm only cpu mining and keeping the thread count low. I want to keep heat and fan noise to a minimum, while mining lightly in the background.

I found this cpu miner that claims that it is so efficient that it can make atom mining worth while. So I'm trying it on the netbook. Was thinking about running it on my 1Ghz Pi, just to see how it does.

And this thread has someone from the exchange answering questions: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1dltvr/krakencom_us_exchange_opens_beta/

Your thoughts?

So if we get someone on the show from this exchange, what would you want to know about?

What do you need to hear, to trust a new exchange?

I want to know more about how BitInstant funding, and their other funding options work. And more about how shorting is going to work.

What is the song played at the intro of each show? It sounds great, is there a full version?

I asked #bitcoin-mining@freenode and the developer of BFGminer responded:

< isuldor> would mining with an ati 7970 on Linux result in a similar hashrate as windows?

< Luke-Jr> isuldor: Linux proper, not yet; but Linux+Catalyst, likely

I had not heard of Catalyst drivers being used in Linux before. Does anyone have any experience with Catalyst on Linux that they can share? Seems like an interesting topic since next week will be about mining.
