Title: Awesome Advice Appreciated Post by: almanter on June 23, 2011, 10:20:15 PM (some how the post thought i was finished so it only posted half so i am reposting it)
Introducing myself...."I am your father"....Almanter.....i am still new at bitcoin mining running 400m/hash (2x5770 (one just got started yesterday)) with a 5830 on its way.... LET THE QUESTIONS (aka. n00bness) BEGIN so mining has been pretty easy...we are now up to about 1.3btc....deep bit was telling me with just my one 5770 i was getting about .24btc/24hr .......does that sound about right? my stats so far are 1st 5770 Shares: 23928 Stale: (2.15%) 2nd 5770 (just started) Shares: 1515 Stale: (1.81%) also the 2nd 5770 is running about 30mash slower than the 1st 5770...they are on different computer bother with windows 7 and guminer....i know its not much but is there anything i can try? Are these stat about regular? if not how to i change that? Also I am running guiminer on both machines have had a connection problems but i think mostly Deepbit fault 2011-06-22 21:41:32: Listener for "Default": 22/06/2011 21:41:32, Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC but it looks like it reconnects itself..... There are a few errors that Guiminer console has but not sure what to do about them if anything about it I like to be very effecient....i am not always infront of my computer so i dont like having to baby my workers...i do have to say that deepbit looks like its getting smoother.... 2011-06-23 08:40:24: Listener for "Default": 23/06/2011 08:40:24, long poll: new block 000010908c2941b2 2011-06-23 09:40:30: Listener for "Default": 23/06/2011 09:40:30, long poll exception: 2011-06-23 09:46:05: Listener for "Default": 23/06/2011 09:46:05, long poll: new block 00001063ea4306bf 2011-06-23 10:46:12: Listener for "Default": 23/06/2011 10:46:12, long poll exception: i dont know what the long pool exception is.......good, bad, nothing i can do about it? 2011-06-22 19:50:17: Listener for "Default": 22/06/2011 19:50:17, long poll: new block 00000236f852f7ec 2011-06-22 20:50:19: Listener for "Default": 22/06/2011 20:50:19, long poll exception: 2011-06-22 21:41:32: Listener for "Default": 22/06/2011 21:41:32, warning: job finished, miner is idle here is the long poll again but i dont know why the miner is idle....it didnt last long...just curious mostly......Good, Bad, Nothing i can do about it? We are also trying to get a card working on a linux machine...we have been using LinuxCoin 0.2A on a usb drive. I boot up and then I accept the agreements. I then open terminal and type start_mining and go through the prompts. when I get to the last one it opens a second terminal window and gives me this error message. Exception in thread Thread-2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 484, in run self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs) File "/opt/miners/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 272, in miningThread self.loadKernel() File "/opt/miners/poclbm/BitcoinMiner.py", line 373, in loadKernel binaryW = open(cacheName, 'wb') IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'dcce8da3d60a84c022cc4b67611b4972.elf' Any help would be very appreciated.... thanks Title: Re: Awesome Advice Appreciated Post by: unbanned on June 23, 2011, 10:21:52 PM switch to a pool that does not take any %, you will make more in the long run. btcguild.com is a great one.
Title: Re: Awesome Advice Appreciated Post by: Seaco on June 23, 2011, 11:19:16 PM i second the recommendation to join a pool, although btcguild hasnt been the best performer for me, i hate to say it but deepbit has given me better results that other pools. Maybe im just not patient enough!
