I don't know opencl or bitcoin otherwise I'd dive in.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to learn something new, eh? Wink

You can't mine until you have downloaded the complete blockchain.  If you do a "getinfo" and see the complexity is low or the total blocks is wrong.... you can't mine.

I would suggest hopping on a pool (like eligius - hint hint) until you've gotten all the blocks.

I've also had to occasionally add some addnodes to bitcoin.conf to "kickstart" the download.  You might grab a few from here if you can't get any connections -

You using poclbm?

I've gotten the "CHECK HARDWARE!" thing when using just the CPU.... I think it was caused by the laptop overheating (I was bored and testing some stuff out).  I was using a Lenovo with Windows 7.  A cold boot fixed it.

Do you have a specific rpc server set for your bitcoin client?  Or some specific connect/addnodes in bitcoin.conf?

A buddy of mine got some weird stuff before when he was using an outdated version of bitcoind on a Redhat server.  The newest client was throwing that error when he connected to the outdated install on the Redhat server.

I like the resistance idea.

First and second card power up, cause a drain when the driver inits them and poof....

Same scenario with a different cable and it's microvolts away from malfunctioning but somehow survives.

2.) i couldn't start a local Bitcoin client on any of my miners for the period of the outtage.  did anyone else have that problem?

I didn't have this problem at all.  Did you have them all pointed to pools?

I'm in the middle of deciding whether or not I want to use some of my available permanent hosts for Bitcoin nodes.  I was watching my recent connections.

For the two nodes that I don't pay-per bandwidth for, the connection count went from 160 and 156 to 18 and 32.....

Peer connections going from 300+ to 50 is a little weird, no?

I checked the hosts and there were no signs of repeated connects, login guessing or denial of service-looking-things, so nodes weren't affected.

As of whenever this posts goes up..  I've got about 100 connections.

I'm more interested in being a node than a miner.

My investigations shows that problem may be in driver version.

When I was using Ubuntu 10.10 and NVidia 260.19.36, there are no problems - poclbm was using only 0-5 %
Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and fresh NVidia driver 270.41.19, and now poclbm (and phoenix too) are using up to 100% Sad

When I install old NVidia driver 260.19.36 on Ubuntu 11.04, poclbm is digging and "top" shows low cpu usage (0-5%), but unfortunately X server cannot starting complaining about "ABI version mismatch". Now I am on Ubuntu 11.04 with fresh driver, and also seeking for better solution... Maybe I'll have to go back to Ubuntu 10.10.

EDIT: videocard is - nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2) ~20.000 khash/s

This.

I recently moved to Fedora 15 and upgraded drivers for my 8500GT.  poclbm was maxing at 100% CPU across two CPUs.

Threw the machine into run level 3, downloaded the nVidia driver mentioned by the user above (260.19.36), installed, reloaded the module - viola.  poclbm is taking < 1% CPU.

Very, very, very easy to recreate.  Use the versions mentioned above.
