set clock doesn't seem to work. But From the --odgc it looks like it's clocked to max?

Running btc on Ubuntu 10.10 with 1 6970. From my Ubuntu Software Center, it looks like lm-sensors and libsensors4 installed.

I see 2 different temperatures but not sure which is what from the terminal. When I type sensors on the terminal, i get 26 C when it's mining. However, on another terminal with the code that executes when boot up, gnome-terminal -x watch -n 1 aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt --odgc the temp is 90 - 92 C.

I know sensors command is from lm-sensors. But where's the 2nd command coming from?
I am very concern my GPU will overheat and it'll be great if someone can tell me the difference in the 2 temp.

thks

I don't mine at eclipsemc; but are you sure it's going to your account without the username? Just checking ...

I think my card's temp is an issue. But I have no idea how to fix it. I currently only have 1 6970 and when it's mining it's at 90-92 C range. But when I stop mining, it gradually drops to low 50s. Reading this thread, it seems like 61 C and 71 C is the range 6990 should be in. 6970 is even less hash power than 6990; under that logic, should the temps be lower?

But how do I fix the issue? For Win system, people use MSI Afterburner to control the GPU fan; but what does Ubuntu (Linux) use? I looked at MSI Afterburner and it doesn't look like they have a version for Ubuntu. So I youtube and found out people use LM-SENSORS. I haven't tried setting that up; but the whole clip looks weird.

Anyways, enough of my ranting. As usual, I welcome any and every advise.

1) you will need internet. How else are you going to connect to the pool servers?
2) This may come as a surprise. That BTC0.01 in bitcoinplus.com; you can't withdraw it because there's a BTC0,01 fees to withdraw.

Exactly.

Hopefully the newbies coming in will read your thread and not fell for that. It's certainly very discouraging and a drag for btc

I love this pic https://i.imgur.com/fevHc.jpg

Would you care to share your script(s) or how you show temperatures and the last picture where it shows V (is that volts?)?

I can't remember for Windows system for sure; but I think it may be a hidden folder. At least that's what's in Ubuntu. So you might need to display hidden files and folders.

Thank you.

Yeah .. i was looking through my reply and re-read what you mentioned and corrected right before you reply.
Thank you very much for all your suggestions.

How would that work? Using Phoenix miner, I would have for example:
./phoenix.py -u http://worker_name:XXXX@useast.btcguild.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0
and
<<edit>>
./phoenix.py -u http://worker_name:XXXX@bitcoinpool.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0

Is that right?

I see alot of recommendations to add those flag -v -w128. What are those flags and what are the implications on the video card? I'm not sure if I want to overclock it to the extent of killing it. this is not overclocking is it?

P.s. Appreciate all your comments. I have enjoyed reading them; thank you.

How much should I be getting? And how do I check?
Using Ubuntu 10.10

I have had similar experiences with Bitcoinplus.com
I mined (only when I have my computer on and working on other things) for 3 weeks, yes, 3 long weeks (difficulty rate reduced twice) to get to 0.01xxxx and when I tried to withdraw, the writings was there (FIRST TIME that I read it if I may add) ... 0.01 fee and not enough funds to withdraw.

Plus, I think the btc payout is much less than the pool mining; currently at 0.00003516 btc / share.

I totally agree that BitCoinPlus.com is a scam.

I have since stopped ... not going to use my computer power even when I'm doing other things and no extra electricity is involved. Other than that, there are no regulations to btc. What are you going to do?

I'm a newbie; just have 1 6970; getting around 360 MH/s?

I don't know, don't have 2 cards (yet); hence the "(I'm guessing this is possible)"

Same worker in a same pool? or Different worker in a same pool?

This is a great question. I don't have the answer but it would be great if one of those older and more experienced members can answer that. I mine at bitcoinpool and I have all these different stats.

Estimated Earnings:  
Unconfirmed Earnings:  
Historical Earnings:  
Unpaid Earnings:  

When I'm mining it would go really high; but when I get paid, it's usually really low and doesn't match any of the numbers in those stats. I wonder if it's the fees or someone stealing my btc?

If I have another card ... would it be more profitable to

1) have a different worker mining at the same pool?
OR
2) have a different worker mining at a different pool?
OR
3) (I'm guessing this is possible) have the same worker mining at the same pool?

Which pool is more profitable to mine at and why?
1) a pool with more people and thus higher cumulative hash power
OR
2) a pool with less people and thus less cumulative hash power?

No. He's asking for 30 or 60 btc.
