Thanks, I will try that when I get this computer to its power adapter.

Odd thing is that I installed OMG9 on my iMac (which has never had Bitcoin-QT installed on it) and it cried about the database corruption too. 

I assume your saying per miner as in "user" and not hardware.

That would be an interesting bit of information.

+1.

Mine have been running great since I got them connected to a PC that wants to behave!

Tried them, both crash with the same corrupt database error. I cant re-index right now because I dont have my power adapter. I'll do it tomorrow and retry

Posted my results into that thread. Thanks for the pointer!

I'm joining the conversation as one that has tried both Bitcoin-OMG9 and MacTest1. Both crash right away with a database corruption error.

MacBook Pro 10,1 running OSX 10.8.5 if that matters.

After I re-index the data base BitCoin-Qt will allow me to close and reopen the app over and over again UNTIL I power the computer down. After that I have ot re-index.

bitcoin-qt 0.8.5 on my mac book pro crashes EVERYTIME I open it. I have to rebuild the data base whenever I want to use the program.

I've tried the "checklevel=2" fix and it doesnt work.

rebuilding the DB takes several hours and the computer runs REALLY hot while its doing it.

Close to a year from what I could tell. 

Can I reserve 40 shares or is that being greedy?

FWIW, I had to put dummy plugs on the 7970's and R9 290's I bought. cgminer didnt see them otherwise.

only when I have to move them or want to add more hardware to them (USB expansion cards).

started in 8/2011 with two 6850's (I think). Left them alone for a little more then 2 years until one of them started making nasty fan noise. Connected a monitor to it only to find that it had BSOD'd A LONG TIME AGO (according to btcguild).

That was maybe 650Mh's... I've since upgraded to a little over a TH's.

LOL! I have no idea as to what either of those are nor how to create them.

I'll figure it out.

can you get into its web interface? You may just need to update its firmware to get it working again.

What are you trying to mine?

Yeah, working on it. I need to figure out two things...

#1. How to make BFGMiner start at bootup on its own.
#2. Install VNC or some other remote control software so I can get into it from another computer.

I already have the linux (Ubuntu) machine up and running. Just need to figure out those two things above and I'm all set.

And wouldn't you know it Windows installed new updates this morning (3AM) and the computer was hung in a reset loop. Stupid machine.

Had a chance to put the two Sunzi's I bought into the retired sound rack that I plan on using....

I know that BE's aren't worth a hill o' beans these days but I figure any more hash power the better. What else would I do with em? eBay? LOL!

Getting close to 450gh's with this rig.... Too bad that WinBox gets pissed if it has to reset. WTH???

I was buying them for $7-$8 a few months back. eBay's current prices are out of control. Here you would be lucky to get anything for them but on eBay you could probably sell them for a good price.

I just wanted to try an alternative OS.

So far so good although I cant see to get the correct drivers installed for the AMD R9 270. BFG found the 6 chili's, 1 K16 and 30 or so BE's without a hitch. Its been mining for about 4 hours without one zombie (had lots of zombies on my win7 rig).

I just need to play around with the OS more to get used to it.

I'll stick with Ubantu then. Thanks again for the reply.

Are all flavors of Linux the same in resect to the fans and whatnot? Would there be a build other than Ubantu that would be a better choice? I've seen screenshots and YouTube vids of people running cg and bfgminer mining with ASIC's, FPGA's and video cards so I dont think finding drivers is going to be too hard.

Thanks for the help. Looking forward to trying a new OS.
