If you are on testnet and you havent found a block yet with a avalon something is wrong. With a dual GPU normally find one every 5 to 10 minutes
thats about the rate i was finding them in the other thread. what use is it for me to send those testnet coins to that faucet? People who wish to test stuff/apps/etc with with testnet coins can use to it get some without mining for them  And re the poster about not driving testnet difficulty up, right on. Devs might get cranky otherwise lol |

The database libraries havent been installed, more then likely this one libdb4.8++-dev its one of the .deb packages you download and installed with sudo dpkg -i You will have to install libdb4.8++ first Just double check all the dependencies are installed sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb

wget https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin/+files/libdb4.8%2B%2B-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8++_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libdb4.8++-dev_4.8.30-quantal2_i386.deb
If its a 64bit install use the 64bit libraries in the other post. |

If over 45%, start pointing the excess hash rate to another pool and warn miners. Problem solved.
Not as simple as it sounds. How will the miners get paid for their shares? |

I'm back with more dumb questions. Is it better to have 5 shitty GPU's under one Worker name and pass? Or to give each Worker its own gpu.
my workers scores are
132.1497
186.6425
258.3901
66.6967
Where dose this number get plunged in? What do these numbers stand for and how do they get used?
From the website You can use one worker account for all your miners, but I recommend to use separate account for every miner for easier troubleshooting. So one worker for each rig if the miner program supports all the GPUs in that rig at one time or one for each miner program if you have to run more then one per a rig to support all the GPUs at one time. One for each each rig/miner means you can see if one is playing up. |

coin-miner 0.54 Copyright (c) 2011-2013 Ufasoft http://ufasoft.com/coinMining for stratum+tcp://api-stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 Using CPU (16 threads) Error 80072AFC: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. Error 8007274D: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. And this continues on and on.... What am i doing wrong  ? Try stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 instead of api-stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 They resolve to the same ip, but I dont know if slush has anything else going on in the background, could be server load maybe. |

This site tends to be a bit more accurate as it pulls the blocks from the pools websites. http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/top.phpeleuthria has already discussed this and has plan in place https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168108.0Could two of the top pools join together maybe, unlikely though as its of no real benefit for them in the long term. As it would devalue bitcoin and that is no use to them. On the government tinfoil hat side. With the rise of asic its it is making it harder for anyone to do that. But if they really wanted to attack it. There are easier ways eg restricting trade back to fiat money. Have a read in the pools sub forum and a few another ones its been/is being discussed endlessly. |

I have changed the git repo from gavins to the bitcoin one and changed the version to currrent release 0.8.1 You may wish to to rebuild, once logged in
cd git
rm -rf bitcoind-git
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
git checkout 0.8.1
cd bitcoin/src
make -f makefile.unix
once it has done copy it over the current bitcoind sudo cp bitcoind /usr/local/bin/bitcoind
cool thanks for the script for the pool server, its running it as root though. People may want to change that when they use it. |

This is from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=965.0Thanks to phungus and gigavps sudo pico /etc/init/bitcoind.conf
Then paste this into the file # bitcoind upstart script for Ubuntu
description "Bitcoin daemon"
start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec su -c "/usr/local/bin/bitcoind" - joe
For a testnet version replace the above exec line with this exec su -c "/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -testnet" - joe
For anyone else wanting to use this replace joe with your username. If you want to start, stop or restart it is one of the following commands, it should start it self automatically when the machine boots. sudo start bitcoind sudo stop bitcoind sudo restart bitcoind If you use bitcoind stop , the upstart script will auto restart it so if you want to stop it must use the above stop command. For the pool server, I am not sure as it depends on how the include directories are set in launcher.tac, someone else might be able to help with that. I will have a poke at it over this week. |

The first part is so you can send the btc you mine straight to another valid wallet of yours. Leave is as False and use the local bitcoind wallet if you want. But if you don't understand how to send btc out of bitcoind and its also more secure in the end to send them to another wallet address YOU own(as it says in the the tute don't use the address listed there). Whether that is a windows/mac bitcoin client wallet or something like a block chain wallet or cold storage one?(don't know much about cold storage). Then set it to True When you finished testing on testnet and you go to mine real btc you have to make sure you have one of your btc wallet addresses in the first line of config.py Thanks for the tip  Ill have a look at second part when I finish work there is a script somewhere already on he forums. |

looks ok, when the blocknotify runs from bitcoind does the out put say the same as when tested ? eg blocknotify done in 0.20 (the time changes)seconds?
Also the passwords are different as you are meant to be using your passwords that you choose, not the ones in the tute.
You didnt use the rpc password from the tute ? you used the one bitcoind generated when you first ran it ?
If its the one from the tute page I would change it.

I have edited it to fix it. How it is was written will work from your home directory, but following the tute means you are already in the stratum mining directory. This should work as well /home/joe/git/stratum-mining/scripts/blocknotify.sh --password somepassword1 --host localhost --port 3333
This will be needed in the end if you put it in the bitcoin.conf file anyway. Just remember on most linux distributions the user home directories are nearly always in the format of /home/username I |

I sent 1250 to the the faucet today as well, mined them while looking at pool software. I dont have much use for them

I'm still getting the "No connections could be made because the target machine actively refused it" error in guiminer
It's only when I use it through my vpn, which I consider essential for using the internet. Why is my VPN fucking this up?
I downloaded the latest guiminer before I made this post and am still getting the error
edit: it just randomly out of the blue decided to work after a restart. This happens over and over though. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Try using stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 manually instead of using the slush choice from the drop down. I think its using a the proxy/old getwork url? |

Its in there.. its not in a code block though.
edit: the reason stats may not have been working properly before you mined, could be there was no values in the database for it to read and this was causing the error?

Don't know ignore it. It still works.
