321  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: BAMT mining problem on HD7970 on: June 24, 2013, 06:12:41 PM
Absolutley nothing:)
I did it exactly like u said ... nothing Smiley i needed it to start it the only it worked so far

/pools file i edited it when i was trying to make it work automatically . At that time i used in bamt.conf file below gpu0 the "disabled: 0" and "cgminer: 1" lines.
Now i did it like u said in step 1 and 2 and still didn't turned ON Smiley

Where from can i disable bamt to mine and enable my command ... i presume from somewhere in /init.d ... but i'm not sure exactly

You can do that in the bamt.conf file as well.

Post your bamt.file and lets see whats in it and if there is something simple being missed.

Also, I am assuming, but have you updated your cgminer to at least 2.11.4?
322  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BAMT gpu0 has a fault red screen Radion HD5850 on: June 24, 2013, 05:16:55 PM
Hi,

I replaced it with a Fire GL v7200 (all I had lying around) just to test this, and the same issue came up, red screen. Both cards work well under Windows 7 x64 using guiminer.

I am using a Dell Precision 490 workstation which has a non-standard shape size dell motherboard with 1x  Zeon processor (plus room for another) - could this be not ideal for BAMT?

I have done a PC memory test (memtest86) and video card stress test CE and both show good.

Any suggestions please?

Can you take a pic of the screen and post it?  I think I know what red screen you are talking about, and I think it leads back to stratum servers and you needing to update your cgminer and use that.

First thing I would suggest is updating to a current version of cgminer.  But if its working for you, then go ahead.

Secondly, you can use a -d argument to specify which gpu to use (I believe, dont use it myself).  But default cgminer will use all devices it can find, this way can special -d 1 for example if you want to use gpu 1 instead of gpu 0.

Thirdly, you can set all of your gpu engine, fan, temp cut off, etc, just by using the arguments laid out on the cgminer page (whether it be command line, or conf file) located here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0
324  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: USB communication problems with BFL Jalapeno on: June 24, 2013, 02:53:52 PM
Are you using a powered hub?  If not, see about getting one.  I was using my jalapeno on a pi up until this morning.  I plugged it into my powered hub (no special drivers needed, it just uses windows drivers already installed), downloaded bfgminer, quickly set my pool settings in my shortcut, and started.  Took me all of 2 minutes.  Has been mining happily with no problems for 2 hours now.

Edit:  Just to be clear, I meant that I was mining on a Pi, but this morning I moved to a Win7 x64 system with no problems.
325  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: BAMT mining problem on HD7970 on: June 24, 2013, 02:48:35 PM
Since you are using cgminer in BAMT, you do not need to edit the /pools file.  I think the reason why you are not getting an auto start (I could be wrong, but you didnt state it below) is that you have not declared in you bamt.conf file to use cgminer from the get go.

1) In the bamt.conf file, scroll down to right below where you can setup smtp settings.  Add the following lines.
     cgminer: 1
     cgminer_opt: --config /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf  (or where ever in the directory you have your cgminer.conf file located)

2) Scroll down to gpu0, and delete the line "disabled: 0 (or 1 if its a fresh install)" and replace it with "cgminer: 1"

This will tell BAMT to start cgminer from the start and will enable gpu0 in cgminer also.

As for undervolting, in your settings in your cgminer.conf file, you can use "gpu-vddc": "xxx", to set your voltage.  I dont personally use that, but this is the setting that is built into cgminer.

Additionally, since you used auto-fan and auto-gpu in your command line, but its not in your conf file, you will need to add those in as well.

Make a copy of your config and try this... or compare the parameters...

I'm not sure how the gpu-engine and auto-gpu settings conflict in your config... but at least give it a low floor limit on the autotuning.

I also prefer the memdiff statement rather than memclock.  Seems more intuitive and if it tunes the engine it'll tune the memory along with it.

I also prefer using diablo, it's faster I think on these GPUs than poclbm.  Play with the worksize too, 256 seems to work best for me but I'm on a 7870xt (same processor, less shaders).

"intensity" : "9,9,9",
"vectors" : "1,1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256,256",
"kernel" : "diablo,diablo,diablo",
"gpu-engine" : "925-1100,925-1100,925-1100",
"gpu-memdiff" : "-50",
"gpu-fan" : "0-100,0-100,0-100",
"gpu-memclock" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20",
"temp-cutoff" : "95,95,95",
"temp-overheat" : "85,85,85",
"temp-target" : "75,75,75",

"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "55",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"shares" : "0",
"no-submit-stale" : true,


"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"

auto-gpu needs a range, so he should have his range just like you have yours, instead of specific gpu setting.  The whole point is that will adjust the gpu setting, along with the fan setting, to within the range you set in order to hit and keep your target temp as best it can.

So you are running BAMT stock (not even using cgminer), and you are getting this error?  Is your pool stratum (as I believe the old BAMT protocol is still getwork and thus your pool may not like that).

up, problem still exist.

What version SDK and drivers did they have you install?

331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Generic coin solo mining? on: June 21, 2013, 02:00:44 PM
Not quite sure, but I think the process for any coin would be about the same, download the appropriate client you would need and configure it, download its particular blockchain, then point your rig to connect and start looking for blocks.

Here is a tut for litecoins, I would suspect that most any coin (at least SHA256) would be about the same.  But I could be totally off as I  have never solo mined anything.

332  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: pcie riser question on: June 20, 2013, 05:54:57 PM
Are you mining BTC or LTC?  If BTC you probably wouldnt need them, unless the cards you have do not have PCIE power connectors themselves.  If you are mining LTC, I would say absolutely you need powered risers.

For now, it's on my work computer, which runs Windows.  After a bit of work, I got the latest cgminer working within EasyMiner, and now have ~10.5 GH/s directed at BitMinter:


Eventually I'll take them home and plug them into my Gentoo mining rig.  For now, though, this will work.

Not to be devils advocate... but if you got them running at work, why not leave them there..... Will anyone really notice? $$$ savings...

They'd be more secure at home, and the power draw of two Jalapeņos is not much more than that of the 7750 in my mining rig. Besides, my work computer is getting long in the tooth (Athlon 64 3700+, though it is running Win7 now) and lately has been prone to bluescreening and/or freezing.  The mining rig doesn't have these problems.

If you have an extra network plug in at work, pick up a cheap Raspberry Pi, download Minepeon, set it up, and go, and leave them at work.

I think I read it on Reddit, dont have the exact link.  But if I remember correctly, Chase had closed their accounts which was making it harder for Bitinstant to fund the payment options they were listing.  Then you add in the Dwolla account seize of Mt Gox accounts, and it seems the Big Brother has taken a shine to digital currency and its cash providers.  Main issue seems to be that they are not listing themselves with the government as a business that provides cash monies to customers.
335  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MtGox stoled my Bitcoins ! on: June 19, 2013, 10:09:31 PM
Coins are stolen all the time from Gox.  If your password was phished, or if someone got access to Gox (again) and did a mass withdrawal of a bunch of accounts.  Happened to me about this time last year actually, 12 coins gone just like that.  No way of getting them back either.  I used to still use Gox until they shut down Dwolla transfers.  But, I did get a YubiKey for 2-factor authentication so my account wouldnt be compromised again, but I echo the sayings of others here, dont store your coins on an exchange, use a local wallet, or something like a blockchain.info wallet and use 2-factor security.

Welcome back.  Yes, ASIC units are shipping, INCLUDING Butterfly Labs.  I sat on my order, received my Jalapeno 2 weeks ago and have been happily mining with it. Other ASICs are shipping as well from other companies, but very much expensive. 
337  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Need your help with a Lancelot FPGA, please. on: June 19, 2013, 07:47:56 PM
My Lancelot is running nicely on 3.1.1

I just grabbed the driver of cardreaderfactory's website and it Works perfectly. Try bitminter client and see if that Works for you.

You mean the drivers found here : http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm  ?

I did that, drivers installed OK, but have problem of com....

Right, but there is a way that cgminer talks to the device through winusb.

But if you can get a hold of a powered hub, that would probably solve the problem.
338  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: no accepts or rejects?? on: June 19, 2013, 07:46:35 PM
I have several folders with seperate cgminer versions. I have not tried to btc with the cgminer I use for ltc.
I keep them seperate.
This is what I'm using to start the program.

./cgminer -o pool.maxbtc.com:8332 -u xxxx -p xxxx -I 5 --auto-gpu --auto-fan --gpu-threads 1 --gpu-engine 800-950 --gpu-memclock 795 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80

With my username and password, in place of the xxxx. Smiley

I can't really re-install as cgminer isn't installed. It's just downloaded and unziped and ran.
I'm running linux not windows.

Thanks
Ron

Try adding -w 256 and remove --gpu-engine. You have a target temp listed so with --auto-gpu the system will auto adjust to hit that target temp, and with that being at 70 I dont see it getting over 950mhz
339  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: no accepts or rejects?? on: June 19, 2013, 05:25:39 PM
I dont understand what your asking

What GPU settings are you using with cgminer?  Are you using a config file, or are you using command lines to set your intensity, gpu engine, gpu clock, etc?  BTC mining is GPU engine heavy so you want to ramp up your GPU engine and down clock your memory, while LTC is sort of the opposite.  So if you are using settings that are meant for LTC mining, they will not work with BTC mining.
340  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dwolla to Blockchain on: June 19, 2013, 05:23:13 PM
Honestly, with the crack down going on lately (the transfer you were talking about was halted on the 10th and is no longer an option), your best bet would be to transfer money back to your bank, sign up for coinbase.com, once you get your account verified there, transfer funds from your bank to coinbase, buy your BTC on there, then you can send them to your blockchain wallet.
