cgminer mines scrypt/litecoin just fine on my nvidia GPU at an appallingly slow rate. Not that I mine with it, just test it works.

I will not return any bids.

  Hi,  I'm just getting introduced to litecoins, I am interested in trying to compile either reaper or cgminer (or both) for nvidia on linux however I cannot seem to find any help for that.  Does anyone here have experience in that area that could lend some assistance?

  The problem that I've encountered so far is that there is simply no documentation for building for cuda as opposed to opencl and neither actually compile correctly, reaper not at all, because they are looking for opencl for gpu mining though both claim to be compatible w/ nvidia.  I guessing that the answer might be simple but I haven't found it yet.

Actually its bitstick not bitsick, but I have no idea what the problem is with the username!!
My name is steve, I got fed up of searching google for a bitcoin related name that was unique
i.e it didn't return any search results so I just used the first thing that popped into my head....

Why does it have to be written rails? So you can steal the money blame it on a hack and not send the 75% of the proceeds to the foundation.

Helping the bitcoin economy right here, investr your doing so well, keep up the great work LMAO

I have just noticed that 1000000000, using Unix timestamp is Sep 9 01:46:40 2001 GMT. Just two days before 9/11.
A bit impressive, don't you think?

Ok I'm fairly desperate to get some bitcoins so that I can start my own project.

You can find the available list here  http://kickme.to/bitcoins  (scroll down the page)

The working list will be sent before payment provided you have a reasonable (honest) forum profile.

Did you happen to ask permission from the miners at your pool this time?

I'm amazed anybody actually still uses Eligius considering your conduct in the past

How do I start it in server mode? I think I saw a script a while ago on it but I can't remember...

Thanks for the help and this also works with RUC? I seem to have some issues with RUC where it keeps saying "a valid bitcoin address starts with 1"

I opened my backup on my external unfortunately my backup doesn't have my wallet info. I'll attempt to load my backup on my otherbackup that the armory is corrupted hopefully I can get the keys that way.

I've been running it on Linux, and bash is my shell.  What version of bitcoind are you running?  I pulled the most recent changes from git master this morning, as it had been dying on me lately for no good reason.

According to the website, source is here. I haven't tried it but the source does include scrypt stuff so I'm assuming it's a recent version. Can anyone confirm?

So you have to install some specific version of some specific flavour of linux into a virtual machine in order to get it to run?

Where do you even get it itself? Does it include a whole VM image with all the right versions of all the dependencies or something like that?

I have to compile all the coin types myself because I use Fedora, and Fedora does not include elliptic crypto in its openssl, so I have to make a custom version of openssl that I compile specially to provide the elliptic curve stuff. Installing a virtualisation system and running a virtual machine seems like overkill security, how likely is it that running it as user "ruc" with no access to other usernames' blockchains and wallets could give it access to other coins' wallets?

Out of curiosity, which pool to do you use?

Trying to use this to make a paper wallet.  Per this post:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25141.0

Can someone walk me through how I would compile this myself?

Because it takes us newbs a bit of mining here and there to finally figure out what the good pools are. I know when I started I was like, holy shit, there are so many to choose from, where do I go?!

Give him time, he will eventually find a decent pool that he likes with a decent payoff.

I personally would say that two very noob friendly pools are 50BTC and MtRed. 50BTC still has a pretty decent PPS compared to most other pools, and the instant share credit is something a newb would like because it would be instant gratification.

When I try to open armory, I'm getting a popup that tells me to look at the armory.exe.

I open it and I'm getting this error

IOErrorL [Erno 13] Permission Denied
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ArmoryQT.py", line 41, in <module>
      from armoryengine import
   File "armoryengine.pyc", line 380 in <module>
   File "armoryengine.pyc", line 372, in choplogfile

Any advice on how to fix this?

Or

How would I go about getting the coins off armory onto bitcoinqt?

Thanks for any help.

The 'liteness' of Electrum is what first attracted me to it; however lack of servers is what dove me away.  If armory could speak electrum I think that would be great for both projects. 

However how does the upcoming additions of bloom filters to bitcoind affect this?

Because it offers sha256d AND scrypt mining with separate difficulties depending on the hashrate of the networks for each algo offering a level playing field for cpu AND gpu miners, it has chat built right into the client, has the btc-e chat box built into the client, btc-e trade stats built into the client, network stats inside the client GUI. It has features that make it appealing.

Pre-mined...? So what...? Bitcoin was in it's third year by the time I found it, people had already mined the f*** out of it, I couldn't even mine a single coin per day, yet here I am mining away on Bitcoin which was never publicly announced before it's release and which openly admits in it's own wiki that Satoshi and his friends were using the program amongst themselves before thy ever thought to share it with the world. What does that mean...?

Yup... PRE-MINE...


Redundant... See answer above.


There's plenty of programs that we all use on a daily basis which we have never seen the source code for because it is simply not available, not every software in the world is open-source and just because it's not open-source doesn't mean it's malicious.

Make back-ups like your supposed to, store your coins in off-line wallets, run A/V software, anti-malware software and maintain your computer like your supposed to then even if something does turn out to be a virus the effects will be null to minimal.
