London sounds good to me! I'll hopefully be able to attend now!

So am I haha. I thought I was the only one..

Thanks. I'll check for logs tonight.

I checked with uptime and the PC hasn't restarted, but looks like my GPUs or GPUMON or something has because my shares are still occassionally resetting to 0.

My temperatures are usually around 73C, as far as im aware they don't go much higher this time of year.

I agree with kano.

I can't believe this guy is still posting.. I thought he'd given up this ridiculous "project" months ago. The guy can't even code!

Hi all.

I've been using BAMT for about a week now and I think it's great. Runs flawlessly more or less.

There's just one thing I noticed the other day. Every so often, my share count for one or more of my cards will reset to 0, without any explanation or noticable changes.

Does this mean BAMT has had to restart my GPU for me? Or even the entire rig?
Are there any log files anywhere that log what's happening when this occurs?

I thought I'd probably get notified via email if this happened but I couldn't figure out how to get the local SMTP server running properly and it doesn't seem to work with GMail's SMTP server. I haven't received any emails anyway. Any help with that would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I agree, BAMT is very good. I believe it's something wrong with my hardware but I can't figure out what. I've been running on stock clocks but it still crashes. But I opened the case to investigate the other day and it started working fine and has been running for about 5 days straight without problems, with my cards overclocked, so I dunno what's been causing it. I don't really wanna touch it incase it decides to stop working again.. I'll keep note of that command for if it does crash though, thanks!



Also has anyone had any luck getting this to work with Google's SMTP servers? They use TLS, which doesn't seem to be an option in the config.

Or is there an SMTP server I can set up on BAMT to use that?

I ask because I've got mine set up but it doesn't appear to be working and I don't know how I can test it.

Thanks.

Hmm, PonziCoin..

No..

Just started using BAMT (switched over from LinuxCoin) and I must say I think it's great.

Having a few problems though. After about 10 minutes of mining or so, the mining instances will just lock up. I can still use the system but when the miners never find any new shares or update their hashrates.

If I try to Ctrl+C the miners, they don't respond, or they take an exceptionally long time to do so. I've also noted that when this happens I cannot view the web interface either (I just constantly get a "Connecting") error. I had a similar problem in LinuxCoin (hence why I switched over in the first place).

Now what's puzzling me is that I've already commented out the overclock lines in the configs and checked that the cards are definitely running at STOCK clock settings (not overclocked). So does anyone know what's causing this problem? Could it be my USB pen? Or my CPU? Or one of my cards?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: This strange output from "ps x" would suggest something is wrong with atitweak... http://pastebin.com/BZG5GxNT

Also i'm using the same USB pen as I used with linuxcoin. Perhaps i've worn it out?

Yeah okay, so how exactly is this speculation or FUD?

I stated simple facts and ideas. Never at any point did I say anything like "do this and bitcoins will be >$30 in no time!"..

It is very basic capitalism, yes. It makes more sense (for the people I'm referring these ideas to) to BUY than MINE, as you can see greater profits, or rather, fewer losses. So I am only re-iterating what you said basically.

"if you're not making money from mining, considering buying instead"

Are you spreading FUD too?

FYI I'm pointing my rig towards folding@home because I prefer donating to this cause than the others, regardless of efficency.

Not really. All I'm trying to do is raise awareness. There's a lot of newbie traders on this forum that don't know.

And hah, yeah that's true. I didn't think about the "free heat" aspect of mining..

Incorrect, irrelevant and boring.

How can you compare running a small retail business to mining for Bitcoin? 
Hah, they're completely different things..

Yeah, a slight oversight on my part. I'll ammend my post.

I know it's not. And I know that it's not anyone elses either. It's against the whole idea of freedom which Bitcoin carries. I just felt that I should share my thoughts on the matter because it appears that not everyone realises these simple facts. Whether anyone adopts them or not is up to them.

Yes, but the price of Bitcoin falling will naturally push (some) miners off the system anyway, which is something bigger to be worried about than this albeit similar. I don't want to damage the network. I know there are plenty of people that will keep on mining regardless, profit or no profit, so that is why I am not worried about network security. Most serious miners have relatively cheap electricity anyway so won't bother with this.

Not necessarily correct. If I was a miner who was selling coins for a profit I would be putting them on the market anyway. If I was buying from the market, the coins I could have mined will go to someone else, yes, but there's no "probably" about them putting the coins straight on the exchange. If anything they would be hoarded for a while or used to pay for services. It is reducing the chances of them going on the exchange if anything and still eating up the sell orders, which is the main point here.

If you're going to clutter up the thread with pointless things like this atleast post links to the similar topics in question. I did a search and found nothing with regards to what I wanted to say, but if it has been posted in the past then the market has changed and it doesn't exactly hurt to re-iterate on these points which are probably buried in the forums by now which no-one will likely see again.

This is probably stating the obvious, but I felt it should be posted anyway..

If you're running a miner and only making a few cents profit or perhaps just breaking even and hoping for the price to go up, then please, STOP!
You should really be BUYING BTC instead.

If you stop mining at break even and start buying BTC instead:

+ you are raising the demand of BTC by eating up some of the sell orders
+ you are lowering the difficulty of mining


Other things to note:

+ you have effectively "zero variance", you can control how many coins you want every day.
+ you can put your bitcoin hardware to other uses (I pointed mine towards folding@Home)


Perhaps it's only me personally that thinks that all of these things are a good idea, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

With regard to network security, there are a lot of people that are still making profit with FPGAs and cheap/"free" electricity which will help to hold the network up, so I wouldn't worry about this.

Thoughts?

Well it's certainly original!
Kudos to you sir!

If you "NEED AN EXPERT", you probably shouldn't be starting your own mining pool..

Care to shine some more light on this brand new idea though?

Why do people still use SC. I don't get it.
It's completely centralized around CoinHunter, and thus when it becomes big enough the powers that be can squash it completely, defeating the entire point of BitCoin. Think e-gold and napster.

Lame attempt to add value to his 12 million or so SolidCoin wallet.
Next topic please..

Because instead of MINING bitcoins, you can just BUY bitcoins.
At the moment prices are less than the cost to mine them, or about the same.
Not to mention that buying bitcoins instead of inflating the currency more by mining them will help to drive the price up further.
It ain't June anymore son.

Four lines that sum up your pathetic, arrogant attitude which is why you are failing.

Well I appreciate what you're doing but all of the signs point to it being a scam so I wouldn't give this thing another look personally.
