Ahhh it gave me an error telling me I forgot to rerun sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all when I reinstalled. I've got a different error now but I think I can handle it from here. Thanks so much! Your welcome and post again if you need any more help getting it going. |

I've been going at this for two days now. When I start CGMiner it clears the screen and says [2012-11-07 19:43:35] Started cgminer 2.9.1 and just sits like that. If I run it with the flags that don't launch it fully, like --help, it works fine, except with -n, which causes it to hang too. I've tried everything I can think of, including running as root and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and even Ubuntu from scratch. Any help would be very much appreciated. -- Edit Oh and my rig has one 5970 and is running Ubuntu 12.10 Try the command below to make sure the driver is correctly identifying the card(s).
miner4@miner4:~$ DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 835 1185
Current Peak : 835 1185
Configurable Peak Range : [600-875] [900-1200]
GPU load : 99%
Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 780 1185
Current Peak : 780 1185
Configurable Peak Range : [550-1000] [1200-1500]
GPU load : 99%
Adapter 2 - ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 780 1185
Current Peak : 780 1185
Configurable Peak Range : [550-1000] [1200-1500]
GPU load : 99%
Now in this snippet I post my 5970 is the second/third in the system. You do not mention if using a config file or not so here is the one from that machine with the first card and pools removed.
miner4@miner4:~$ cat .cgminer/cgminer.conf
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "....",
"user" : "....",
"pass" : "...."
},
{
"url" : ""....",
"user" :"....",

},
{
"url" : "....",
"user" : "....",
"pass" : "...."
}
],
"intensity" : "8,8",
"gpu-engine" : "0-800,0-800",
"gpu-memclock" : "300,300",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"temp-target" : "76",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"retry-pause" : "5",
"scan-time" : "60",

"shares" : "0",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-network" : true,
"api-port" : "4028",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}
You want to change the engine and memclock settings to something your cards support and sometimes when I start and it hangs like you describe I need to do rm *.bin in my home directory where it puts the .bin files it compiles up for use with the program then it starts normally. If you get it running and see no temperatures then quit program and before starting do export DISPLAY=:0 in the terminal window. |

mining now with a 6970 and i'm getting 486 kh/s at 900/1375, but i'm also getting about 0.1% hardware rejects. even if i lower the clock i still get them. is this normal? i tested the card with occt and it checks out okay, temps are in the 50s-60s.
Anything after cgminer 2.7.6 does the same on my 6000 cards none of the 5s get it though. It seems to be some sort of change in the way they are detected in the versions after that is giving us the rejects as 2.7.6 run for days at a time same settings as used in newer version will not give you them. Had to log out on one of my machines with 2x 6970 in it because the compiz was taking 100% of the cpus in it. Well after doing that and logging back in as an Ubuntu Classic no effects desktop I have seen only 1 HW in over a day. So I would say the compiz using all the cpu has a bit to do with it as well them cards had hundreds of HW before this change now as close as you get to none after. |

@Niko -- I've usually found it best to just ignore SAC. He's just here to troll my thread  It actually works out in my favor as well since he keeps bumping my thread to the top of the Securities section  Yes ignore the inconvenient for your little scheme points being made, anyways the suckers that "invest" in it will see the reality in the long run. Now this don't really matter to you as your cut is in your pocket right from the start it will certainly matter to them when it all goes tits up... |

Running more batches costs money, and something or someone will need to absorb this cost. There are only so many sheep, and only so many coins. Therefore, yes, I expect an equilibrium in (exchange rate per difficulty), assuming no major technological breakthroughs or costly moves to smaller ASIC nodes. Regardless, we should take this discussion to the mining speculation.
The bASIC is already on second pre-order plenty of sheep left to absorb the costs and there being only so many coins to go around sure has not stopped people from continuing to add capacity to the network currently. BTW this business model (pre-orders) they use requires no input costs on their part and those costs will be well under the cost of current units in additional runs as all the engineering/design work has been done, as well it also gives them their profit locked in before the production has even run. |

Realistically, the hash rate will start off around 250TH/s and increase to 400TH/s over 12 months.
Really I have already pointed out just how wrong this part of the proposal is but he somehow seems to have ignored that. To expect that the first wave of production of these devices is only going to be followed by half that capacity increase in one years time is just so far off the mark it is unbelievable that he continues to persist in using it for any calculations. My estimates show 300-400 TH/s as the equilibrium after ASIC migration. This will be pushed up or down, depending on the exchange rate, which has historically been the main factor driving difficulty up or down. Mid- and long-term future exchange rates are absolutely unknown. So only the first batch plus little extra produced essentially. Nobody is going to run a second, third, ..... batch of these things through the production line ever again. Boy I would love to have some of what you guys are smoking. |

Compared to most of "investment" schemes we've seen this year, Korbman's has been thought through and presented in detail. The problem was noticed (by Aahzman) and is being addressed. He is responsive to constructive criticism. I don't know him personally and haven't done business with him, but I like what I see, and I'd say this is exactly what we do need more around here.

I am asking you, do you think a 7970 and a 6950 would work together?
One is 28NM other is 40NM?
What problems or reasons why it wouldn't work?
Can it work on the same board together?
Works fine I have that combination in one of my machines 6950 first card 7970 the second due to the width of the cooler on it. Nothing special you have to do other than make sure your running the sdk 2.6 or newer otherwise the 7970 will not be seen for use by the system. |

If I understand you correctly, starting in March, you will be buying back 25% of everyone notes, rounding up, every month until December. The rounding up part will 'shake-out' so to speak, those noteholders with a really low volume. According to my calculations, I will need to purchase a minimum of 27 notes to make it to the Dec buyback. Here's a chart illustrating the buyback month along with the number of notes required to make it to that buyback month. | Month | Notes
Req,d | Monthly
Return | | March | 1 | 2% | | April | 2 | 2% | | May | 3 | 2% | | June | 4 | 2% | | July | 6 | 2% | | Aug | 8 | 2% | | Sept | 11 | 4% | | Oct | 15 | 4% | | Nov | 20 | 4% | | Dec | 27 | 6% |
My first 10 notes, I will only ever make 2%/month over 6 months plus buyback of 1.10/note. My next 16 notes, I will only ever make 4%/month over 3 months plus buyback of 1.15/note. My 27th and remaining notes, I will make 6%/month over 1 month plus buyback of 1.20/note. That about right? Well that is handy to have all laid out like that. F'n socket puppet accounts, how many do you have BTW? |

Thanks a lot, whenever I have a spare BTC or two I'll send it your way!
Your welcome and if wanting to do something like that send them to ckovalis the maintainer of cgminer. |

I just tried diablo miner and getting the same results. I'm only mining on one GPU...
am I missing something?
Dummy plugs on the cards without a monitor connected as I remember reading that they were needed when using windows as it does not see/use the card without one. |

im building LTC rig so i need a recomendation on GPUs.
note that power drain is not a problem, i dont have to pay for power, so im searching for best kh/$.
i was thinking about 5850s or is there something better ??
is 7xxx series any good with ltc?
cheers
If using windows the 7000 series is fine on linux the drivers/kernel for hashing suck, forget the 5000 series your better off with the 6000. All my 6000s get a better than BTC rate in kh/s than BTC in mh/s the 5000s all get less than that no matter the settings I have tried. |

I have cut my current market cap from 50,000 to 10,000 Notes, which will allow for the purchase of 2 Mini Rigs.
10,000BTC @$10=$100,000 2x minirig $29,899=$59,798 Left over $40,202/cost of rigs*100=67.23% markup. This is called a Liquidity (Financial) Cushion. Uh huh sure it is. Your plan here somehow produces two thirds as much money as is required to pay for two machines. The operating costs on these things even if you rent $800 a month space to place them in paying $200 on electricity giving you $1000 outlay this gives you a 40 month "cushion". Anyone who believes that load of BS can PM me I have bridge in Brooklyn for sale going so cheap I'm virtually giving it away. |

OK made some changes and started with --scrypt flag ... it sends some data to the pool but it isn't mining at the 371 Kh/s it claims it is.. I even updated to cgminer 2.8.5a ... compared to my 6970 in windows... I might as well be cpu mining... the page reports it is getting 3Kh/s after about 3 mins of mining and my 6970 is up to over 86 (the page is average over 15 minutes) ... what will help some logs?
Thanks
Naelr
That sounds like pool problem to me when I use it they show the correct speed that cgminer shows me. What pool you using? Also my 6970's get 425mh/s using all the same settings as my 6950 except 7200 for the threads. As well there is an official support thread on this forum they can probably help better there by looking at the logs for you I have no clue how to read them. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0;topicseen |

"kernel" : "scrypt",
That option has never worked for me it starts but then tries to mine btc on a ltc pool when I use it I need the --scrypt when starting on the command line then it will actually mine ltc. Here is the file I use when starting it. cat ltc.sh
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export DISPLAY=:0
cd ~
cp .cgminer/cgminer.conf-ltc .cgminer/cgminer.conf
~/cgminer-2.8.5 --scrypt --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1,R:192.168.0.0/24 -g 1 All other options are in the cgminer.conf. except the core/memory speeds I need to set it manually with another file as if in the .conf file they don't seem to take effect. For your 6950 I find that worksize 256 vectors 4 intensity18 and speeds of 800,1250 get me the best result of nearly 400kh/s on the one I have. Edit: Here is the cgminer.conf I use as well for the 6950 the threads are 7040 that I use, it is the first card in this conf file.
cat .cgminer/cgminer.conf
{
"pools" : [
.......
],
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"temp-target" : "81",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100",

Running Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit with CGminer 2.7.5
when I try to mine litecoins and the pools is either PPS or P2POOL it doesn't matter (bitcoins no problem)... the miner says it is submitting shares and they are accepted but nothing seems to be received by either my PPS pool or my p2pool node. ON my second box running win 7 I can scrypt mine just fine ... anyone have any ideas ? thought about upgrading cgminer but on the version before 2.7.5 it wouldn't submit either.
Naelr
You don't tell us how you are starting the program ie. the command line arguments. It has worked for me since the start of support 2.6.0 or .6.1 I believe for the first version offering it. Running 11.04 64 bit 2.7 sdk 12.6 driver if my memory serves me well. |

I've never used DHL. Any advantages to use them to ship into canada?
Used it once Germany to my door in three days, no brokerage fee or taxes on a $150 item which they always seem to put on with the other carriers. |

Opinion yeah right if you can/will not see what is right in front of you well take another hit off that pipe and go further into dream land. Don't worry though these fools are good at throwing their money away you will get some suckers I'm sure.
Korbman is anywhere but "dreamland". I can't speak to his profit estimates, but he's clearly done his homework, and lays it out for the benefit of all. We need more people like him involved with Bitcoin, and fewer that spout off "take another hit" at the slightest differing opinion. His money, investments, and use of the aforementioned should be of no concern to you anyway. And your concern about my concern is of no concern to you, go sock puppet elsewhere. I have seen enough of these damn scams around here this one the mining bond ponzi in disguise not having the forever payment feature. They all amount to the same thing people being separated from their BTC by these grand visionaries whose plans don't even include what is obvious for anyone to see. |
