Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: SmartCoin - A simple, robust mining system for Linux. [BETA RELEASED!]

on: June 30, 2011, 01:51:29 AM

I've setup my miner (Diablo) and my workers, and my pools. But it just sits there doing nothing saying that Slush is down. Something is wrong but I can't tell what. The smartcoin.log is basically useless, and doesn't tell me what it's doing other than "We are running in AUTO" all the time. Can you add a debug option or at least have the log file tell me when a miner is running and with what options? I have no way to troubleshoot what is happening. Of course Diablo runs fine when I run manually, and LD is set to the following in my bashrc file: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64

I added "source smartcoin_ops.sh" to the installer on the first empty line and that fixed the RunSQL error. Then I did apt-get install sqlite3 and it's working now (the installer anyway).

There will be a choice to allow it to be available to the automatic profile, type n for "no" (plus, there is also a disable option, which would work as well). I also think that you should review which devices are present, and delete any not matching what you know you have. (FYI, your devices are as detected by PyOpenCL. I will look into this problem eventually, hopefully I'll come up with a better way to auto-detect in the near future...) shotgun: Smartcoin does use sqlite now, I switched database backends on the same day the suggestion was made Also, you mentioned installing r100. As of right now, the current revision is r200 - things are evolving rapidly so please make sure you have the latest version of the installer! The RunSQL error is due to smartcoin_ops.sh apparently not being included for some reason. What linux distro and version are you running? Currently, smartcoin relies on the $HOME environmental variable for determining paths. Are you running smartcoin_install.sh as root (you shouldn't, as it will make the $HOME variable point to /root - when the superuser permissions are needed, you will be prompted for a password. What does it say if you type Code: echo $HOME in the terminal? I'm running r200 - I guess that was a slip of the keyboard. I tried installing when I was logged in under my usual user account "user", then did a "sudo su", then ran the installer. I guess I'm confused about the SQLite vs MySQL because the instructions on the 4th page say to install mysql server and not sqlite, and there is no README with the checkout or any instructions on the google code wiki. Is there a more recent set of instructions you can point me to, as I was going off of the ones on page 4 from the beta release post. I'm running LinuxCoin btw.

Quote from: sharky112065 on June 29, 2011, 07:21:39 AM A web interface is crucial if you want people using/donating that have more than one Linux box up and running. Say I have 10 Linux boxes up and running but no ability to monitor them on one screen, it would be a real pain in the A**. I would like the ability to go to one web page on my web server and see if every thing is going OK. Agreed - I'm writing a webapp that will connect to configured pools and report on your workers. You can see some basic stuff here, this is only a day of coding though: http://minerwatch.strangl3r.com/ I'm planning on having drill-down graph support so you can look at historical information about all of your workers. I think the best way to manage multi-box workers is to name them according to their hostnames and GPU. ie: strangler.ultra40m1-01 is my Sun Ultra40-M1 workstation running one miner, if there were additional cards in the box they would be strangler.ultra40m1-02, strangler.ultra40m1-03, etc. Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying out SmartCoin once the RunSQL issue is addressed. Seems a useful app for running on individual boxes to manage multiple GPUs and load balancing/process monitoring. Then you can use my app (or miningmonitor.com or similar) to see your array of rigs all at once.

Quote from: burp on June 26, 2011, 11:49:37 AM Why not use sqlite? It seems much more appropriate for this project. I totally agree. MySQL is awesome for certain apps (I'm actually a MySQL DBA for a large video game company) but SQLite would be much better for this. Additionally, I have the following issue when trying to install rev-100 Code: ./smartcoin_install.sh: line 18: RunSQL: command not found ./smartcoin_install.sh: line 19: Field: command not found SmartCoin requires root permissions to install dependencies, create SymLinks and set up the database. I checked the installer bash file and the RunSQL function doesn't exist anywhere. How should I go about installing the app if it can't write to the DB?

I need to get out of the newbie section so I can post my opensource mining monitor application! I've been mining for almost a month now and have read tons of info about price/perf, history of BTC, I'm in active in 3 pools with a total of 2.5Ghash/sec rigs. Whitelist me please!

I am building my rigs with this MB as the base: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813154018 4x PCIe slots that are correctly spaced so you can actually put dual-slot cards in. That's something to be aware of when buying boards - some don't have a slot between each PCIe slot, so your density suffers.

Check out this build for running 3x6870 cards. It's as cheap as I could get it for rackmounting: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=16323312 Alternately, look at the public rigs on newegg: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishLists.aspx?actionType=SEARCH&OrderKey=CREATEDATE&OrderType=DESC&searchTitle=mining&searchItemNumber=

For best mining results, don't run in crossfire mode.

Hey all - I'm a new miner, have been at this for a month. I am currently writing an opensource monitoring web interface with graphs and statistics for various pools. I'll release the first version soon so the community can benefit.

Other / Beginners & Help / Sun x4600-M2 Server - four PCIe x8 slots - can I use this for mining?

on: June 15, 2011, 11:09:55 PM

Hey all, new miner here. I have this great DB server that is no longer being used for DB purposes. I'd love to get some cards and put it to use for mining. Here are the specs, can someone tell me what ATI cards will work with it for the best Mhash/s values? Money is no issue (relatively speaking). Budget for cards is up to $2K total. Sun X4600-M2 Server Specifications. Up to eight single-core or dual-core AMD Opteron 800 series processors Expansion bus 20 GB/sec. of bi-direction I/O, four x8-lane PCI-Express slots, two x4-lane PCI-Express, eight low-profile PCI expansion slots, I have it populated with 8 CPU cards with dual Opteron procs for a total of 16 cores at 2.4ghz each. It's loaded with 32GB of ECC RAM and dual SAS-10K drives in RAID-1. I was using it for OLTP processing but now it's going to mine some bits. What cards? Halps! http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CEcQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spectra.com%2Fpdfs%2Fx4600.pdf&ei=7Tn5Tb-BIeyt0AHi9NC-Aw&usg=AFQjCNFVcOZnxYDHIe7pbmtlfndUom4vrg
