So, going forward: It seems the cheat-proof method is no longer the payout-method du jour.
Would anyone prefer Max-PPS, or PayPerLastNShares to the current implementation?
*MPPS is a terrible method. PayPerLastNShares is much better, and cheat-proof, so I would prefer that! |

Do this before using the gpu's or use a root terminal This fixes my issue with aticonfig as well! |

Really starting to miss the realtime stats  Why? |

I tried cgminer on a couple of my boxes last night and woke up to find 3/4 GPU marked as DEAD on one and 2/4 DEAD on another. Trying to restart the DEAD GPU doesnt seem to do anything on either machine (restarting the ones still running did seem to restart them OK). Both boxes have been running for weeks using poclbm without errors. Running the 1.5.3 binary on Ubuntu (3xHD5870 and HD6310).
Anyone else seeing problems with DEAD GPU that won't recover unless cgminer is restarted?
BB.
I do too, but only on my linux boxes. |

I bought a t-shirt from littleshop and it was very nice.

Two questions:
Are we ok to run apt-get upgrade yet? Have the input issues with the kernal been fixed? I want to be sure before doing it.
Also, I am trying to install cgminer, which you said you updated. But when I do it, it says I have the most up to date version. I have .52, but .53 is out.

I'd like to buy as many of these coins as I can.
However, the current markup over spot of nearly 100% is unacceptable to me.
I realize the premium for small coins can be exorbitant, and is accepted by collectors and small time dealers; however I consider them just "bullion" so I don't like to pay more than 10% for spot. I'm sure you are aware that most traditional coin shops will charge you 6.5% or so. From that standpoint would you ever consider minting oz or kg coins? ty
I don't think that's a fair comparison. Even in the US, if you just want to buy rounds as cheap as possible because you only care about the bullion, that's going to limit your options. Good luck getting an ASE or a Panda for the same rate as that round that celebrates the Penguins 1992 Stanley Cup championship. You don't get to complain because there's some tarnish. You're stuck with the leftovers. Which of course is fine if you only care about the bullion. But you don't get to have it both ways: You can't pay rock bottom prices and pick any coin/round/bar of any size that you want. I agree with this. It seems silly to post on a thread selling very unique bitcoin rounds, proclaiming that you only care about the bullion. Believe me, I have bought a lot of old currency (90% silver) on Ebay for under spot throughout the years, but this is very clearly not 'just bullion'. |

When is the new version of cgminer going to be updated in your repository? It looks like a big improvement with being able to bring dead workers back.

I just refreshed the stats page, and my round shares dropped from 300,000+ to 189,892!?! And, stales went from 2% to 3.3% What's up with that?  Edit: Now my lifetime shares dropped from 444,000ish to 328,000!!! You solved a block! Good job! |

Let's find a block this weekend!

CGMINER works perfectly on two of my boxes, but on a third (a 32 bit Win7 box) it is getting the OpenCL 0 byte binary issue. I have tried running the program like 15 times in a row and also rebooting.
I am about to try booting to linux instead and running it there and reporting back, but I am just letting you know.
Edit: Actually I won't get to it tonight, but I will try to get this done in the morning!

I don't see why it's going to matter. Suppose you have one individual with a 40 Ghps cluster (say 100 5870s) mining at pool x. At pool y, you have 100 individuals minining at 400 Mhps (1 5870 each). Either way, each 5870 is an individual worker, and will be communicating with the pool individually. Either way, the pool is communicating with 100 5870s, and the only difference is that at pool x all 100 are tied to the same account while at pool y there are 100 accounts, but I don't see why this would make any difference. Am I overlooking/not understanding something?
It still shouldn't matter. If there was one account with an uber video card at 4 Gh/s and another account with 4000 celeron cpu miners at 1 Mh/s, assuming the pool can push work to all of them in the same amount of time (honestly probably not realistic), they should each have an equal shot of finding a block. Shares don't really matter, it is the hashing the matters. Shares are just when you happen to solve a block of difficulty 1. Saying something like 'well assume that the block will be found on share 6' isn't really a good argument, because we can never assume something like that. |

Oh right, I should have said that.
It was something along the lines of 'No Valid Adapters' even though I did --adapters=all.
So I guess it cannot see my video cards even though I can mine??

I get a segmentation fault when I run cgminer. Probably an issue with that miner though, and not linuxcoin.
Can you post what was happening at the time and the actual error ? I just ran it from the command line, with nothing else running. It goes to the main screen and seg faults immediately. When I run it -n (I think that is the option) it does see my GPU's though. Also... aticonfig does not work on my system, even if the first thing I do is accept the licence. It worked perfectly with .2a. POCLBM is mining on my PC no problem right now though (but if I don't run it with sudo it says I cannot access some .elf file). |

Perhaps it's on my end, but Im not sure.
My miners have been getting a lot of idles over 8 secs in duration and my setting makes them restart, after it occurs 2 times within 2 minutes they go to backup pool for 8 minutes. Is there anything wrong with the servers? Im using win7 32bit, AOCLBF with Phoenix 1.5, and the 7-17-11 PhatK Kernel, my gfx's seem to run stable, but yeah a lot of restarts and idles.. and I think 8 secs idle before restarting is a long time already, am I wrong? Should I use other settings?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
It looks like US Central had a few minutes of connectivity issues for some people. Nothing hardware/software related, and seems to have already ended. Only 8% of the pool is above 2Gh/s. That can't be good for solving blocks at this difficulty. IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!! 5000 1 Mh/s miners == 1 5 Gh/s miner in likelihood of finding a block |

Like I said in my last post, everybody "questions" the bad, and ignores the good. Anybody making the claim that our -14% this difficulty is unusual and not raising the same questions about DeepBit's positive 13.6% during this difficulty is a hypocrite. If you want to believe that pool speed will eliminate the chance of variance "that high", then it's more than twice as unlikely for DeepBit to be pushing that luck as it is for us.
If the guild has -14% someone has the +14... just so happens most is at deepbit That isn't true at all. |

God damn that is a good price.

Although, to be fair to the seller, he *seems* legit from looking at his post history.
I would still use some caution though.
