Download bitaddress.org or a similar tool that will create a private key by doing a SHA256 hash of a passphrase. Use it offline to be sure that noone ever sees the private key.
Create a long passphrase and repeat it to yourself 10 times every night when you go to bed. It's not hard to remember a long passphrase as long as it makes any sort of sense and by repeating it every night it will be virtually impossible to forget it. Write a little poem or something.
This is a passphrase
and it might be lame
but it is the key
to my fortune and fame
You'll feel pretty safe when the phrase you chose is stuck in your head. Also, you don't have to rely on any service to still be there, knowing that it's simply a matter of doing a SHA256 hash.
I prefer this method, but make the passphrase better... This is a frasspase 27 beetles
and it might be lame
but it is the key l1m3 p13

I finally got back to trying this and it seems to work just fine using bitcoind 0.5.2. I believe this is what robocop was looking for and shows it is possible in the standard client if you take a step first to isolate the account and ensure that you always send the entire remaining balance to the desired address. Just keep in mind that this will expose the exact remaining balance of the account/address to anyone you send BTC. To make things easier while playing with this I made a quick script to generate the sendmany command for sending a payment to a single address and automatically send the remaining balance (-0.0005 tx fee) back to the specified address. It assumes you are using an address in the default "" account in a dedicated wallet. #!/bin/bash
# Usage: send.sh <from> <to> <amt>
echo "./bitcoind sendmany \"\" '{\"$2\":$3,\"$1\":`echo "(\`./bitcoind getbalance "" 0\`-$3-0.0005)"|bc`}'"
p.s. Holliday - I should have figured this out before running that p2pool donation cron job; it would have tracked correctly like we had wanted!! |

I had the exact same thing happen the first time I replaced the padding/paste on one of my cards. I'm sure your card is fine. It can easily run that hot if the thermal paste isn't done correctly. Do you know if the thermal pads were replaced? If so, make sure they used the correct thickness, otherwise you may not have enough contact to the GPUs for effective cooling. Did you buy the card brand new or used? Who is "they"?
For the GPUs, I'd recommend using a high quality thermal paste like AS5 (or some newer fancier one) and applying it in an X pattern. There are some other threads documenting 5970 maintenance so you may want to search for those as well.

Did you extract the registration/license first?
I had a few odd issues getting linuxcoin working right on certain USB sticks. I stopped trying to create new installations on USB from scratch and ended up just cloning a known good USB stick. I had no problem cloning a key from an active running miner without interrupting it but YMMV. Good luck!
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY (where sdX is the source USB stick and sdY is the target stick)

I thought sendmany allows you to specify from which "account" you are sending, so you could create a new "account" first and move BTC to an address there to isolate the inputs.

Couldn't you just use "sendmany" to send to the recipient and back to your own address? (I haven't tried this)

 Lies!!  The smallest squares are uh, not quite square, is that what you mean? I think he means the ratio between them should be 1:.618, where it appears to be 1:1... "By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two." This brings up a good point - perhaps I should have assumed that the center of the towel is the start of the sequence instead of an infinite fixed ratio. Very well then.   |

Are you aware that you can configure p2pool to pay out to any address? You could easily set up an online wallet with a site like strongcoin or blockchain.info and just mine to that address.

I'm now mining 70/30 - p2pool/GPUMAX I support and promote the decentralization of bitcoin mining because I feel it's critical for the security of the network. At the same time I support a pure free market economy with no restrictions on consolidating power because I believe competition is healthy and brings efficiency. I'm thinking of taking 1/2 the profit from my GPUMAX public shares and automatically donating them to subsidize p2pool miners to further confuse myself.  It would be awesome if there was a way to fail over to a random public p2pool instance. Edit: I assume it's the difficulty per share / polling that's the issue. |

Hi coretechs!
Can you share your "donation script" with us?!
I want to setup the same scheme for the Litecoin P2Pool miners...
Right now, I just put a cronjob to donate everyday the same amount, at the same time of day... But I would like to have the same behavior of your setup, I mean, send donations according to the balance, etc...
Thanks!
Thiago
Sure, here you go: # p2pdonate.sh
sleep `echo $(( $RANDOM % 1440 * 60))`
./bitcoind sendmany "p2p_donations" "$(GET http://forre.st:9332/patron_sendmany?total=`echo "(\`echo "(\\\`./bitcoind getbalance p2p_donations\\\`+0.5)/1"|bc|wc -m\`-1)"|bc`.0)" >> donation.log
This script assumes that you have bitcoind running as a server with an account called "p2p_donations" but it's easy enough to change. Just schedule it to run at midnight, the sleep command will delay the execution randomly up to 24hrs. It counts the number of digits in the whole number balance of the account and sends that many BTC, appending the transaction id to a log file. 0-9 balance - 1 BTC 10-99 balance - 2 BTC 100-999 balance - 3 BTC etc Disclaimer: *Run at your own risk. I take no responsibility for anything that happens if you run this code. It works on my computer but it may not work on yours.* |

I usually set the memory in catalyst first for one card, then load Afterburner and apply it to all the others. In catalyst you can clock the memory to 150mhz for the primary card. Then in AB adjust the fan or something else on the same card and hit apply. It should set the ram speed on any additional cards you have as long as the checkbox is checked.
