I changed the eligius rewards func to look at http://eligius.st/~luke-jr/raw/3/blocks/ .  Eligius hasn't hit a block yet so I don't know if it will work or not. 

Is it a problem that I see on the console:

thread 3: reward monitor offline

Thank you so much for your help with this.  We need a repository to keep up with working stanzas now. 

I just want to confirm that I got a payment of 1BTC from nick.

Do we at least know that some of the ones that aren't reporting did pay the pool address and just need to be split once you figure out how to allocate them?  bitcoins-lc  and btcmine...

I can't get the example for mineco.in to work either.  Running it through perl on the commandline puts out the expected results but within multicoin, I get:


I've copied and recopied the example, made sure there are no extra newlines.  Any ideas?

Thanks to everyone kicking in and making this workable.  I've got it working on my VM now and a couple of my miners are pointing at it and getting work.  No idea if it will make coins since I never made any off multiclone after a weekend but I'll try it and see.

As for what people need or don't need-  the biggest thing I'm looking for is something that will keep my miners from being idle for hours when one or two pools go down.  Being able to "hop" to increase efficiency is a nice secondary benefit.

Thanks for your suggestions-  I've almost got it working (pending database download I think).

The requirement to have a working compiler is pretty key. 

Do we have an expectation that the bitcoins-lc shares in multiclone will turn into actual shares? 

I never did get the perl CPAN dependencies squared away on two different CENTOS boxes.  Not sure where I went wrong but ran out of patience at the time.  Never could resolve whatever dependency caused

Can't locate JSON/RPC/Client.pm

I appreciate the gentleman running Multiclone but I'd like to run one myself for my own use.  I guess I need to try again sometime, perhaps with a newer distro than Centos 5

looks like multiclone is down at the moment from what I can tell... mining and stats.

edit:  back up now

Do the pending shares eventually convert on Multiclone?  The 3 pools that I've got the most shares on don't show anything other than pending after mining for about 18 hours.  

I guess people trying to steal it suggests that it has value which is something that is trying to be established.  Maybe not the most desirable way to establish it...  Interesting thought though.

Are there any FPGA boards that one can actually purchase for less than one arm and one leg?

The recent difficulty increases have really made it unattractive to start mining now.  The heydey of mining may have passed in my opinion and whats left is corporate mining.

I have this issue if I don't balance my aggression settings out.  With aggression set to 12, either card will drop a bit when the other is started.  At 6 or 9, this doesn't seem to happen as badly.

I believe that 75, while rather warm, is safe.  I have two 5830's-  one has better airflow than the other and it runs under load at around 65.  The other (that is against it) is more like 75.  It gets hotter than that but I rigged up an airchannel so that the case fan can pull heat away from the card which helped a lot.

Originally, my case fan was blowing air on the cards and after a while I figured out that the fans were competing and it was making the card hotter than without the case fan (!).

Greetings-  Have been reading for a long while and just realized that I've been in the sandbox! 

I've been mining on eligius and continue to do so when it isn't having issues.  Like a lot of folks, considering whether it makes sense to mine anymore at the current difficulty.
