How do you set the data directory for boolb-qt? I tried adding -datadir=d:\WhereIWantItToGo\data but it just immediately crashes.
Also tried running qt-boolb.exe --help from cmd, and it also immediately crashes.

Pre-alpha. I've never had any stability issue with it, even though my mainboard was dying.
Are you running it with the default config file?
The version currently on github should be able to run on multiple cards but it is largely obsolete by now. If I get my new system running by tonight, I will hopefully update tomorrow.
Can you reproduce at will?
I didn't edit the config file, so it should have been default, yes. I didn't want to try it again after BSOD. I'll give it another shot I guess when I get home from school later. |

yesterday my ssd end its life because of power failure at home (@&%"£!%$£&**(@) i lost 1000 hucs because i had a wallet backup old 2 weeks ssd was an external drive with usb enclosure, anyone know if there is a way to recover data? windows see there is a drive but don't recognize it, i fear some hardware is broken :/ putting apart my jinx, i had to download blockchain from chain.huntercoin.org, a bit slow but done its job well, we could find some mirrors when more people will be interested in playing. The problem arises when i tried to copy the files contained in the archive, to my final folder: don't know if it's only a window or 7zip issue, but i wasn't able to browse the other archive contained in the main archive (double compressed file), i needed first to uncompress the main file, then open the decompressed file to browse it and select files to extract. In my case then it went worse, because i have TEMP dir set to a RAM Drive, and the program didn't allowed me to extract directly files from archive to final directory, but required to write to temp disk and there wasn't enough space, so i ended up extracting a file at a time. @ domob: any chance just put just single compression? i know you hate windows but majority of pc users are on windows and it isn't really handy to have to decompress twice to be able to select files inside and move them to the final directory. anyway i think next time i'll download directly single files you provide on ftp, should be better. thinking about it, i could try to implement an automation in my client to download blockchain in the ME folder, could be nice for first time users so i could autosetup settings and configure my client easily, yesterday i've been witness about how people find difficult to setup what the game requires (not just my client, but the whole huntercoin things). The victim that's reading this forum know what i mean  It sounds like maybe just the controller died. There are companies that will recover data from ssd/flash, and only charge you if they recover, but it's probably not worth if for only 1000 HUC. |

Has anyone gotten the new alpha qubit miner to work? I just tried to run M8M.exe, and the tray icon showed up for a second saying getting started or something, and then I got BSOD  Using ccc 14.7 with a 7950 and a 270x. Does it only support one card at a time? |

I know this is bool thread, but honest opinion.. XMR or BOOL?

First, DarkNote is a million times better than the old name.
I know this is the BBR thread (until such time as renaming actually commences), so I don't mean to wend off-topic, but I have to disagree. It's such an obvious ripoff of darkcoin, and not only that, it follows such a long line of ripoffs of darkcoin that are just garbage: bitcoindark (sorry jl777), litecoindark, darkblock, darktoken, dogecoindark, etc ad nauseum, that I feel like it obscures the nice new features and portrays more as just another cheap ripoff. |

EC2 related question:
Will my instances get automatically "renewed" and keep running as long as my max price is high enough to beat the competition?
Yes, as long as your spot bid is higher than the current price, your instances will keep running. Also, sorry about not being able to get the screen back up for each miner, I'll look into that and see if I can figure it out. I think it may be as simple as replacing this: screen /home/ubuntu/start.sh with this: screen /home/ubuntu/cpustart.sh
screen /home/ubuntu/gpustart.sh in the rc.local file. |

I am actually so bad at this that I wasn't mining into anybody's wallet because I started it incorrectly. Damn vi...switched to nano, though, and now I'm good. Running two instances, and will set up some more tonight.
Just a question first, though...I believe that when I did ps -A I saw minerd but not ccminer. Is something still screwed up?
You should definitely see them both if you follow all the instructions. Did you setup a g2.2xlarge instance? If you don't have a gpu ccminer won't work. Also, did you run the LDFLAGS command in step 12? sudo ldconfig /usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64
If you don't run that one ccminer won't start. You might just be missing it. You can try: and if it outputs anything (a process id) that means it is running. |

I tried this, and it has been saying "pending evaluation for over an hour. Maybe because this is my first time setting up an EC2 instance?
You may have set your spot price bid too low. If you click on the spot request, you should see the reason it's not fulfilled down at the bottom of the screen. Try to make your bid a half or full cent above the current spot price and see if that gets it going. |

It appears as though I have a couple of instances mining into somebody else's wallet. Sigh.
You're welcome, whoever you are!
Maybe you missed step 11 - 11) Now, you need to edit cpustart.sh and gpustart.sh in your home directory using either vi or nano, unless you want to mine to my XMR address  It looks like if you want to mine directly to exchange, just replace my XMR address in both files with YourExchangeXMRAddress.YourExchangePaymentID. There's also a totally automated AMI now that mines straight to the developer's donation address called XMRminerToDevFund, see here for more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.msg8931252#msg8931252 |

This name thing is blown out of proportion. There have been much input that CZ and windjc can consider, only if helpful in making the final call. And we should respect that decision and refocus on the tech.
Agreed. With that being said, I vote for boolberry. |

I feel like there's no point, obviously there will be more votes, ad infinitum. |

Hi, For those people who like to kill two birds with one stone (looking at you David ) I have created an AMI that launches GPU and CPU miner automatically, on cryptonotepool.or.uk for the Dev Fund Address. Thanks papa_lazzarou! I was gonna try and do this tonight, but now I don't have to  |

This is a detailed guide to setup cloud miners (cpu+gpu) on Amazon EC2. I put together this guide for user oda.krell, who was kind enough to give me a very nice tip for it, so thanks should also go to oda.krell.
....
... I would also advise to spread the instances over the various regions so that we do not compete with each other for the low prices. Also if we rely only in spot instances there may be none available if someone (for example an attacker) were to instantiate 1000s of instances for the full price. ... How do we set up on different regions? I only see the XMRminer AMIs in USA/Oregon. You probably want to make your own image, anyway, so I guess you would need to start an instance in Oregon, save it as your own, and then you can launch from any region. I'm not entirely sure tbh, as I've only ever used Oregon region. |

I like how zoidberg reprimands sussex but doesn't even mention slapper. Such moderation! Much civilized discussion.

You could also configure it for the script to start automatically at system startup. This way you would only have to launch the instance or instances and you'd be mining. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12973777/how-to-run-a-shell-script-at-startupAnd maybe create an AMI with this with the DEV fund address and anyone who would want to just had to launch the instances without having access them to configure stuff. Thus lowering the barrier to entry. The instructions would be cut in half to get an account and launch your instances. I'll only be able to do this this evening (and don't even know if people would trust my AMI), so if some trusted member of the community could set it up earlier it would certainly help. I would also advise to spread the instances over the various regions so that we do not compete with each other for the low prices. Also if we rely only in spot instances there may be none available if someone (for example an attacker) were to instantiate 1000s of instances for the full price. There's a whole host of different instances that could be used. Don't look only at g2.2xlarge and c3.8xlarge. If we could spread it also to other instances it could prevent some of the problems above (the AMI would work fine with any of them although with a lower hashrate. And it would be good also for people who can't afford the higher end ones) And don't forget the free tier (about 8h/s but free). There are instructions for setting it up to launch automatically using rc.local toward the end of the guide. I agree it would be cool to have XRMdev images/AMIs that you just launch and they autostart mining for dev donation address. If I get a chance this week I will set that up. |

Complete mining newbie reporting in, with some questions.
Decided to dabble in xmr mining a bit, to support the network, and put any hypothetical earnings into the dev address, as per smooth's suggestion. Getting started on Amazon's EC2 as well, but also wanted to see if I can put my Macbook to use... here's the result:
I might as well turn it off, right? I'm adding about 40 H/s, which is for all practical purposes negligible, correct?
It's not much. You might want to be especially careful with a macbook. I don't have any first hand knowledge, but I've read on the internet (it must be true!), that mac's tend to be particularly prone to damage caused by overheating, due to either apple's thin form factor that leads to poor heat dissipation, or they just limit the fans so the laptop can't get as noisy. With that being said, I have an i5 hp lappie that I mostly leave at school (free power), that has been mining monero and other stuff on four threads for the past year or so with no problems at all. |

At the end of the day, to my mind Bitcoin makes the most sense. Less effort if people want to get in, and less effort if people want to get to fiat. I hugely agree with the idea of going with some kind of token over a full blown coin. The amount of work just managing the most basic features of a cryptocoin is insane, and the time I feel is better spent developing the social features than constantly battling all the economic issues brought by PoW and PoS cryptos. I'd urge going with Dogeparty or ClearingHouse as their block times are so significantly different to Bitcoin. I'm not certain of my reasoning, so it definitely warrants discussion, but I think a fast, sleek transactional system based around an issued token is a much much better idea to consider, and will free up developer time to work on the most important side of things - the social stuff. Not least of all because devs won't constantly have to be firefighting crypto douchebags trying to instamine or otherwise ruin an amazing venture. I think of the two (XCH/XDP), XDP makes more social sense.... 24s vs 60s block times will make no real difference in the big scheme of things, and the social ethos of FUNK has very much been in keeping with the Doge mentality. Very much on board Simon, good thinking. The tokens can be incentivised in so many ways, too - people can sell them for Doge, other assets... They can buy them to activate in-app features, to tip musicians... Nothing apart from some of our algo work will go to waste, and honestly that stuff was needlessly complicated and only being put in place to avoid nefarious instaminers... On top of that, probably wouldn't even work... We know how a large amount of this scene behaves by now. Such sound! Very music! I'm not familiar with clearinghouse, nor have I ever used dogeparty or counterparty, but I have heard of them. So I guess based on n00b's logic I'd lean towards dogeparty. Also, as groggin points out, fees would be massively lower. |

It's called bumping the thread. If it was flooding then you might see some posts getting deleted, which they aren't. |
