Ya, phoenix goes wonky when the pool connectivity gets weird, but it's been a lot faster for me than poclbm. I switched to 2.4+phoenix a while ago. I don't have the stale share problem other people complain about. Here are some recent stats from my local miner:
[394.30 Mhash/sec] [1537 Accepted] [41 Rejected] [RPC (+LP)]
2% is either equal to or lower than what I had with poclbm last I checked.
Anyway, so I think this is what you need for v2.1 x32:
export AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/
export AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
ldconfig
Also, for C), I forgot to include the #!/bin/bash line... so I hope you see that is supposed to be a shell script that launches start_miner.sh with a 1, then 2, then 3, etc. I was under the impression that LinuxCoin's start_miner.sh had a numeric parameter that started miner 1, miner 2, etc.

We need nodes so payments can get processed! Payments are processed by the generation of blocks, which is done by miners. Client nodes have no impact on the way payments are processed. Hush. This thread was full of awesome. |

Do you see the normal BIOS and startup and then it goes black... or it's always black?
Have you tried musical plug to see if there's a single DVI port active for some reason?

You should be able to just swap cards. I do it all the time.
Can you get glxinfo, etc working in x? That would suggest your driver isn't installed/loaded or your Xorg.conf is somehow wrong.
lsmod | grep fglrx
Do you get something?
Did you update your Xorg.conf ? aticonfig --initial ?

How do I:
a) install the very latest version of phoenix miner to my persistent linuxcoin usb flash drive?
b) install (and switch between) sdk 2.1 (since it is 2.4 by default and poclbm favors 2.1) to my persistent linuxcoin usb flash drive?
c) pop open all 6 of my poclbm or phoenix command line miners on persistent linuxcoin startup? It is such a pain to open up 6 miners using the start_mining script...
Please leave your Bitcoin address in your answer post.
The first person to leave a competent answer that is linux-noob-friendly for any question will receive 0.05 BTC sent to their Bitcoin address. Answer all 3 and you get 0.15 BTC.
Never used linuxcoin, so here's some generic instructions - a) wget http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/files/phoenix-1.48.zipb) Download the SDK, extract to /opt/ Export the following for 2.4 - AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32 AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/lib/x86: sudo ldconfig There are similar settings for 2.1 - replace AMD with ATI and point to the correct path. c) for i in {1..5} do start_miner.sh $i done |

nyargh says, "If you miss a round your earnings are lost."
Luke-Jr says, "False."
Seems the opposite of confirming your theory...
nyargh says, "If you stop mining forever you lose your earnings."
Luke-Jr says, "You are free to continue with the accumulated earnings whenever you want."
Oh, again, in opposition.
nyargh says, "supa is a fucking retard."
supa says, "Potentially accurate."
This is the only confirmation you've received so far. If this thread were a bitcoin.... you couldn't spend it.
I clearly see where I'm sincerely confused and humbly withdrawal myself from this thread.

Transactions will always take the same amount of time because the block rate is 'fixed' at ten per hour to make the proof of work that is involved in generating a block meaningful, and with most wallets requiring 3-6 blocks before accepting payment - even in the utopian bitcoin future, transactions still take half an hour.
Unless I've misunderstood something in the bitcoin paper, please correct me if I'm wrong!
Will
That's my understanding, too. I didn't mean that blocks would instantly be solved for transactions - I only meant the transport would be faster and confirmations can be, too. Also, depending on how the pool operates, they may only function as a single authority. As you mentioned, you need 6 in the official client. |

Have you looked in the Pools subforum by chance?  |

I've read many of your posts and you are without a doubt a fucking retard. Let me try this again, should be very simple even for someone like you:
Citation needed. What happens when you miss a round? Can your "value" limit ever catch up to your actual share balance or did the pool just permanently screw you out of your prior contributions that were above your value limit? Luke-Jr is already setting you straight, lord and master of intellect. Guess your simple explanation for simpletons like me didn't quite pan out as accurate. Have fun getting a lesson in basic comprehension of the written word. |

Vista still has the old WDDM vs XPDM nastiness. Thanks for the offer, murray, but feel free to keep your coins. Best of luck! |

Ya, 30 seconds is an awfully long time.
You could always use something like xwininfo to verify it's running.
For example, if this fails, you have no server running -
xwininfo -display :0 -root
Return on fail should be - "xwininfo: error: unable to open display ":0""
I think xset q could be used, too.
xset -display :0 q
I wouldn't fiddle with gdm - I only use a basic wm and want the minimal work requests to the video card.

Wow, nyargh is stupid and snarky. Hilarious combination. Protip: The only way to get and keep 100% of your earnings is to solo mine. People that mine in pools accept a certain tradeoff. Luke-Jr's implementation is better than most, on average, if you actually did do the math. I like people that pick only a few words of information and preach it ad nausea while declaring themselves the most clever. They're fun. |

Protip: Type AMDO, hit tab, hit enter. Unless you have more than one thing that starts with AMDO..... but that's probably not likely. |

What cards do you both have?
I'm on 5850s....

No, the only way to get 100% of your earnings is to mine for infinity. I missed your point... what was the problem with this? If you miss a round or stop mining, you will never receive your past earnings. Basically for this to be "fair" you have to mine non-stop forever. Perhaps my mistake was using English words for technical details... So it seems. In other news - mine for infinity. Check. That was in my long term plans, anyway.... |

The proxy is still a single point of failure. It just moves it from the pool to the proxy server.
How many threads have you seen about people's proxies going down? How many for pools being DDOSed? The proxy is much more reliable than the frequently crashing/DDOSed pools. No point arguing, besides... I've seen the light. This guy is completely right. I can't believe how silly I'm being. I mean... I use Linux and several boxes for everything, but all of that is "single points of failure." What if someone hax0rs my kernels? I should totally start mixing Windows and MacOS boxes into my miner pool to avoid that single point of failure. While I'm at it, I think I'm going to order a couple of T1s that are provided by several different service providers. And ATI cards - crap, the drivers are a single point of failure. I'm going to have to make large NVIDIA farms just to be redundant for my boxes! And my name servers. I only have 2 and they're both from the same provider! Oh shiii-! What if that goes down? I'm going to need to convince all of the pool operators to join an MPLS cloud. Wait... the MPLS requires internet to be functioning.... F#@#! I'm going to have to call Al Gore and see if we can reinvent the internet as an alternate path to my pools! |

Wow, what are you... 5?
Welcome to the internets.
It's very very VERY VERY common practice to ban whole ranges of IPs (even whole countries) from your "average" web server. You get nothing but garbage scans, weird form submissions and crawls from bots in whole IP blocks. If you've ever actually operated a web server.... you would probably know this....
While it's certainly one of those "make it more difficult for the good guys to get through" scenarios.... it's nearly common practice now.
I don't think Luke-Jr has a tiny moustache if that's what you're trying to imply.

KISS method first -
... is the PC online? Can you reach Google in a web browser?
Do you have some weird firwall rules in Windows Firewall, TrendMicro, Norton, etc "security" packages?

The machine had an existing GeForce card in it. I went and grabbed the latest drivers, installed, rebooted for sanity check.
Shutdown, installed a 5850, started back up with the monitor plugged into the 5850. Got the latest Catalyst Drivers and Stream SDK, installed, reboot. I think the Stream SDK is completely optional, but I wanted to play with the clinfo example if something went wrong.
Ran poclbm and it saw both cards. ATI was 0, Nvidia was 1. Tried to start poclbm with just -d 0, but it complained about platforms.
Added the --platform=opencl (I think, I forget... there are only two options and they're obvious) with -d 0 and it started mining.
Repeated with -d 1 --platform=cuda and it began mining.
5 minutes later, I think the NVIDIA poclbm instance was just hung. Ctrl-C, restart and it started working again. 10 or 15 minutes later the ATI instance looked stopped. Ctrl-C, restart and off it went. This could possibly have something to do with my workplace network config, PC still being used for work with Visceral Studio, Aero being enabled, etc.
Whole experiment only lasted 30 minutes, but that's all I had for the day.
