They said from stock. Whether it's from the 763 they have on the shelf, or they buy more parts.. either way, they're shipping from stock in January.

There's likely a way around it. I just speak from my limited experience with a few motherboards. Others may be able to offer tips/solutions. Definitely explore some other drivers.

I got one gigabyte motherboard working with xubuntu but i remember it being super tricky, took me about 4 attempts.

Once I found a combo which worked "off the shelf" (bamt / asrock) I stuck with it.

This thread has been off topic for about 1,251 pages.

It may also be a motherboard/bios related issue. I've seen my bamt sticks work perfect on the ASRock motherboards, but put on a Gigabyte/Asus motherboard, and they throw the exact errors you're talking about.

Buddy of mine had to buy a whole new motherboard just to mine with. It didn't matter what driver version or OS he used, he kept getting the same errors.

Food for thought.

12x drivers have historically been the fastest in BAMT. I saw 720kh+ out of my 7950's with them. But, hardware varies, so anything is possible.

His staunch disbelief reminds me of the conservative Christian folk who dispel polygny as sin. Have you read your Bible? God even claimed to support it, and took credit for giving David his wives, and was willing to provide more. Nowhere in other Scriptures is it prohibited. They'll sit there, look you square in the eye and say that you're wrong and it's a sin.

Regardless of how much proof is plastered on their face.

+1 Yup. Honestly if cryptocurrency technology grows and takes off like I hope, there are many uses for it. I could picture a future where a lot of houses have subsidized heating based on machines which are in the house hashing, keeping whatever networks, alive and safe.

Think about it. The possibilities are amazing.

It's always been known that mining is only temporarily profitable/worthwhile for most folks. This hasn't changed. Whether it's this year or next year or tomorrow, eventually it'll have to move toward a more industrial-only network provision.

So what's your point?

Just did a quick peek at all known tag pools, and congrats fuse, this one is the biggest of all the ones reporting data:

210MH - Tagmining.com
91 MH - tag.botpool.net
83 MH - tag.hashfaster.com
36 MH - tag.cryptopools.com
n/a - miner.coinedup.com/tag
n/a - tag.cryptopool.it
31 MH - tag.scryptmining.com
n/a - coinex.pw

Loving this low difficulty rate too.. in the low 20's.

Dogespeak: wow difficulty, very maths, much numbers.

Though his exact difficulty estimate isn't what I would hold to, the difficulty is going to kill most at-home miners in 2014 if things continue.

Ultimately for bitcoin to remain useful beyond 2014, it will rely on industrial-scale mining efforts.

Yeah I know. I've tried it with/without. Sometimes it gets close to completion and then stops, and won't ever try again--keeps saying checkpoint too old. One time it did complete the download, and showed synced, but seconds later showed out of date again and refused to download the chain. I've seen others mention the issue.

This is the *only* client which I have issues with. Even dogecoin works fine, despite it being retarded.

Even bitcoin blockchain is far easier to download, I can usually get the whole thing down in under 2 hours. Not starcoin though.. 24 hours later it's still only like 90% complete, and then it dies.

If I'm not mistaken, this is part of the Proof of Stake of TAG. If a wallet is online and synced and not doing anything, it proves to the network that the coins are yours and do exist by setting some aside for proof, and you get some small interest amount back. That's what it sounds like is happening, but it's strange to me to see such a high amount for Stake.

Why are people mentioning making wafers and stuff regarding the Jupiter sales? They said they would ship from stock.

Link is now showing. Also provided the general outline of what I do to get newer cgminer in place, along with some other stuff.

Not an exhaustive tutorial but should get you going. I don't mind helping out if you have questions.

Utility for Windows to write image files to USB stick: http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

I'm uploading the bamt 1.1 image to a filehost. Link will show up when done:

Link: http://goatpc.com/litecoinbamt1.1.zip

I uploaded the stock 1.1 image without any changes, so it's pure and clean. Should work out of the box for you.

However, here's what I do to bring it online for my systems, with some tweaks. Comments in brackets, commands in bold. Should work cut/pasted. I might have a sudo out of place here or there, this is off some scribbled notes, but you get the gist. These steps upgrade you to 3.4.3 cgminer, modifies the BAMT script to use the new cgminer, and sets you up with a handy alias shortcut to see cgminer anytime via ssh. This is all done either via SSH or through Root Terminal. I find SSH easiest.

First: bootup BAMT, setup graphics cards/pools as needed, then proceed:

(1. change the user password)
passwd

(2. new/set root password)
sudo passwd

(3. gogo gadget superuser)
su

(4. new folder for upgraded cgminer)
mkdir /opt/miners/cgminernew

(5. gitclone cgminer)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
git clone https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git
cd cgminer

(note: 3.5.0 would segfault on me, so i have been using 3.4.3. the following command pulls 3.4.3 source)
git checkout 891c279

(6. move cgminer files to their new home)
cd..
cp -r cgminer/* /opt/miners/cgminernew
rm -rf cgminer

(7. dependancies, might need these, install if so, upgrade if already exist)
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libtool libncurses5-dev

(8. get adl for cgminer scrypt)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew/ADL_SDK
wget http://goatpc.com/ADL_SDK_5.0.zip
unzip ADL_SDK_5.0.zip
cp include/* /opt/miners/cgminernew/ADL_SDK

(9. compile cgminer)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
./autogen.sh --enable-scrypt
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-scrypt
make

(9b. exit superuser)
exit

(10. cgminer should work, but bamt needs to know how to run it. modify common file for new cgminer)
sudo nano /opt/bamt/common.pl

(11. find startCG procuedre,  the 2nd instance. comment out the "my $cmd" by putting a hashtag in front of it. below it, use this new command line below. save/exit when done.)
my $cmd = "cd /opt/miners/cgminernew;/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S cgminer /opt/miners/cgminernew/cgminer $args";

(12. create bash profile script to contain handy shortcuts)
sudo nano /home/user/.bash_profile

(13. paste this inside. add any other shortcuts. save/exit when done.)
alias cgm='sudo screen -x cgminer'

(14. install a more tuned-up tahiti scrypt for 79xx/R9 cards)
cd /opt/miners/cgminernew
sudo rm -rf scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc24000w256l4.bin
sudo wget http://goatpc.com/scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc24000w256l4.bin

Now, with this done (presuming no errors), and with your cards/pools and bamt setup (/opt/bamt/bamt.conf & /opt/bamt/cgminer.conf), you should be able to fire up cgminer by using:

sudo mine start

and then, if all goes well, latch onto the cgminer instance by using this command:

cgm

Updated BAMT:

Link to BAMT 1.2 which has cgminer 3.7.2: http://www.goatpc.com/litecoinbamt1.2.zip

Lol, glad you liked it. I really love them.

Some elbow grease, a few bucks, and bob's your uncle--great cooling.

Grabbed a couple of these to give them a shot: Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14. They're 140mm, but only 15mm thick, so very slim. According to the specs, they're 0.1db quieter (18db) than the other ones I'm running, and they push 10CFM more air per fan.

I've got a couple of cards which, despite all efforts, just want to act silly and run hotter than the rest. I popped a pair of these on and moved the GPU more into the cold-air path, and dropped 5*C. Not bad. I'm sure part of that is being closer to the cold air, but I'd say the combined 20CFM of extra airflow definitely helps.

Cost twice as much as the Blue Vortex series, and the standard fan clips don't work (have to modify them a bit), so I can't see using them as the primary fan for my setup--but they certainly have a use. I'll get a few more just to have on hand.

Figured I'd share my experience.

I have an MSI R9 280x which, despite whatever I change, refuses to go above 714-718kh. Makes me wonder if there's a batch of them which are odd this way. Reminded me of it when I saw yours.

It doesn't help that there are issues. The new client fails to fully download the blockchain for me, and I'm apparently not alone. Even with the addnodes in my config.

Just one card is showing up on bamt in cgminer? Hrm. You cuold try the fglrx trick.

Also, I haven't tried 1.2, I'm using 1.1. Wonder if that makes a difference.

Wait, you're borderline physically disabled but you installed mains wiring and circuitry at your house? I'm guessing not physicall-bound-disabled. More power to your enthusiasm either way.
