Yes, it only accepts 'yes' or 'no'. Anything else will go to the default (whichever is in caps).

With re: the first user/pass prompt: You can put anything in that part because those usernames and passwords will never be used by Autominer if you specify workers.

It first looks for worker details, then if it can't find those, it looks for common usernames & passwords.

It's not related to screen, that just means phoenix didn't work, probably because you have no workers set up.

I suggest running the configure script again, don't power through it, look out for the part where it asks if you have workers and type 'yes'.

Not having XML-RPC wouldn't cause this issue, but enabling it allows you to see all your hash rates in the main window (see post 1 for details). I'd suggest ignoring this until everything else is working.

Change phoenixQueueSize to 1 for each card in cards.lib, then try again.

I think that parameter only supports values from 1-10.

Also, unless you removed them, your cards don't have workers attached in this cards.lib file.

It will ask you during configuration something like "Do you use workers for this card on main pool?"
Just type yes, then it'll take you through questions to set up usernames and passwords. Same for backup pool.

Don't use a password which matters for workers, they are sent across the net in plaintext.

I'm also not sure why it's put donateMode=0 four times instead of once, but that won't be causing the issue.

It's worth noting that libertarians are a split camp on this issue, and I'm firmly on the Randist side. Not only are intellectual property rights valid, but that they are the most fundamentally valid rights of all. This is not from a utilitarian point of view, but from a natural rights perspective.

In the end, any right to property which you've built is devolved from the right to the product of your creation. You don't just build a house, you have to be able to process a design through your mind, and be able to iron out the kinks, to engineer it. Similarly, the right to self-ownership comes principally from your ability to enact self-ownership as a human being. Otherwise, we'd have to grant the right to self-ownership to chairs and televisions.

When you look at things from this perspective, you realise that the fundamental single right is the right to the products of your mind, which includes the right to control how those products are used, should a buyer so agree. I'm iffy on the right to enforce that contract upon an unwilling third party of course, because it'd be very hard to prove that the third party knew it even existed, even if I contractually bound the seller to pass it on.

“Man’s mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive he must act and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch––or build a cyclotron––without a knowledge of his aim and the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think.”
- Atlas Shrugged

“Patents and copyrights are the legal implementation of the base of all property rights: a man’s right to the product of his mind.”

Cyper, can you give me the contents of common.lib and cards.lib?

I think logically, things like food and utilities are the main things.

Most are 20s and 30s, according to Jester & Co.

I'm somewhat interested in writing a miner but I have no idea where to start.

I know a few programming languages (Assembly, C++, Perl) and I'm reading into CAL, but I don't actually know where to get information on fetching, processing and returning work.

Can anyone help me out with some sources?

I think I'm still right in saying I offer the lowest priced contracts.

Just so everyone knows, I do take bets on stuff that isn't up.

NFL, MLB, Soccer, NBA, WNBA... whatever you want, just ask.

No problem. If you need any help with Autominer, or with Linux, let me know and I'll try to help.

Up with a new version.

A few people were saying they'd like to donate but have no BTC up front, so if you want to, just edit common.lib (on v0.3.2.3 or above) and put the following line at the bottom:

donateMode=1

It will automatically give me 1 out of every 200 mining cycles (0.5% of your mining time). I will implement an option later so you can decide how much to donate.

This option is off by default, it's purely optional, and thanks if anyone decides to use it.

Thanks Jakel-s.

My 5870s give me 440-445MH but they're at 985/333. The same settings as you use for phatk.

This depends, as there are two types of Phoenix crash.

In one it reduces to 0 khash and your card stops doing anything - for this one, as long as you apply the Phoenix patch and enable XML-RPC reporting, the script will see when Phoenix crashes and restart it.

In the other type of Phoenix crash, it keeps reporting full hashrate. Unfortunately this script can't prevent this but I'm working on a way around it (will involve being able to grab JSON reports from your pool and parse to see when they last accepted a share from a worker).

No problem, enjoy!

OK, easy enough, just do (either sudo or as root):

ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2

Then retry autominer.

OK, do ls -l /usr/bin/python*

If that doesn't work try sudo ls -l /usr/bin/python*

(Basically, getRate script can't find Python, so we need to set up a symbolic link to it).

OK, did you patch your Phoenix binary or not?

Try starting Phoenix manually like this:

./phoenix.py -v -x 2500 -u http://username:password@server:port -k phatk DEVICE=0

If that loads without an issue, go to Autominer directory and do:

./getrates.sh

And tell me what comes out of that.

It looks like either your Phoenix didn't patch properly, or your getrates.sh for some reason isn't pulling the right rates.

No problem, it looks like you've enabled xmlRPC monitoring somewhere, or I've fucked up the code somewhere and done that.

Edit: Just tried setting my xmlRPCEnabled to 0 and it didn't enable it, so it looks like somehow you've set it in common.lib OR my tarfile includes common.lib... checking the tarfile.

Nope, it's not in there. Did you try to enable hashrate monitoring? If so, is your Phoenix kernel patched?
