Well I had 1.4 and 1.48 in the same folder compressed so I decompressed 1.48 to make sure that's the one it was running
I'm pretty sure I'm running 1.48 though.
I'm in Canada
edit: So far I'm running at 100% but only started it a few minutes ago.
On another note, my 4870 is running at 85-86mh/s stable.
edit2: after making sure I have 1.48, I'm still getting about 4-5%
edit3: After a bit more tweeking, I now have my 4870 up to 88-89mh/s. Sweeeeeeet

For some reason I'm still getting about 7% rejected shares. If everyone else has about 1% I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

What caused BTC to crash by $9 so far? With difficulty going up, the only way it'll be worth mining BTC is if it's more valuable. $21/btc is OK for now but do you expect it to go back up anytime soon or is this it for a while?
|
|
|
|
That's a fair point. Also, what's the askrate for bitcoins.lc? I'm getting about 10% rejected.  |

When one block has been calculated in the Bitcoin network it verifies the authenticity of your funds. When your funds are verified you can choose the instant payout option in the settings menu to transfer your BTC from the pool to your wallet, providing your funds are above 0.01BTC, which is the fee that the Bitcoin network takes for every transaction; a fee that bitcoins.lc pays without touching your precious coins.
I don't understand. It'll cost .01 to get that money transferred to my account?

Could not connect to database server. Let me know if I can help.
Also, for some reason I'm getting (as of now) 4 accepted and 9 rejected. Seems high to me.

I'm running phoenix with the GUI and I'm getting about 70-75mh/s out of my 4870. I've got it set to 790mhz clock and 900mhz memory. I could just use some help in figuring out how to tweak it better. I heard some people can get 80's out of it. Thanks! About a week from now till I get my 2x5830's  |

I've never used phoenix but I downloaded and extracted it. Then I extracted this GUI into the same folder. I have an ID, username, password. I put in the ID and password along with server and port. I also found that my GPU is 0 and put that in accordingly.
Pretty much all that happens is I press run, a window opens very quickly and then goes away. GPU never goes past 0-1%
edit: looks like it's running now. I've got no real way of knowing what rate it's going at though, unfortunately.
And I now see where it shows the mh/s too. Sweet.
Now I just have to look for some information on the 4870 to get higher mh/s out of it. Right now I'm at about 70-75

I think you've got a valid point. I'm not entirely sure why people are still joining deepbit with the 3% fee.

My setup will have over 15 ghash and no i think im pretty early considering that this is brand new and most people do not even know what a bitcoin is.
It will require semi-professional planning though, even if you run it in some basement. I have max. capacity 16ghash/s and already down by 2 due to random hardware failures and waiting for RMA's. Failures do happen statistically even if your operation is perfect (clean 80+gold PSU's, well ventilated, etc.) Every day a part of the system is down you lose money. So a faulty ram stick or DOA gpu can become very expensive over 24 hours. I meant to say 1.5 to 3 g/hash per second not 15 do not have that much money lol. As for the loan please someone help me out. just buy what you can afford. In this stage, even .5/day is pretty good. I just bought two 5830's that should get be around 200-300mh/s a pop. Probably closer to 250 or so but still. 500mh/s is pretty good to start with. OR you can do another thing - just buy BTC and hold onto them for later. If you can't afford it... you can't afford it  |

At this point, 2-3 may be a pretty tall order but maybe someone has .1 or .2 to toss around. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you right now. If anyone has 2-3 to give away, I could use some too  |

I just ordered a new PSU and 2x 5830 cards. It'll be a small miner but I want to get in on this action. I've been having a lot of fun with it so far.
So, what's the best way to mine with a rig like this? I was told about linuxcoin but I've not tried it out yet. I also tried following the 11.04 Ubuntu guide but I've got no idea why it's not working right.
I hate to be a noob but I could use some guidance on where to go next.
Thanks !
Also, what's the deal with Pools?
i use windows and dummy plugs, but thats because i have technet and access to many windows serials. I too just ordered a new dual5830 setup, the first one paid its self off and so now its time to upgrade. gui version quicker and easier for me GUI version in windows? I know Google it is going to be the common answer but I'm wondering if I should do something within the windows GUI, run 11.04, linux coin, or something else. I don't really want to try everything just to see which works better. |

Is this any more or less efficient than just using Ubuntu to mine?
|
|

The ?? is literal, there is/was no intention and you do not have to replace it. ?? is like *, except only for individual characters under the ? . You did the right thing as far as the input goes, but you are missing the file.
So, I was afraid of this, but I need to ask, which guide are you using, the 2.1 or the 2.4 guide?
I was following 2.1. I followed it exactly. Should I try 2.4? |

tar (child): icd-registration.tgz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2

Got past 11. Didn't even see the ??. Even if I had, can't say I would have known what to do. Either way now I'm getting the above from step 12.

Bitcoin Mining for Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (Ubuntu v11.04)
Here are the steps you need to take to get mining on Ubuntu's latest OS: This guide is for installing AMD SDK v2.1.
If you want to install v2.4 for 6xxxx series cards, please see the next post with instructions for v2.4.If you find this guide useful, please consider donating. Donation address: 168Bgg6HL6bLiUxQDBbdmHRbXtSsMixYCTFirst, install Natty on the HD or USB stick of your choice, accepting all the defaults as appropriate.Once you are booted into your new OS install, do these steps in a terminal window, or if you wish and it's easier you can do it from an SSH session. Optional First Step (Skip this if you don't care about SSH):
Optional 1: Press the upper left 'start' button on the desktop and in the search field enter 'terminal'. Click it and open a terminal window.
In the terminal window, type:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
This will install the SSH server. Once the server is installed, you can connect to your machine via SSH and perform the rest of the steps listed below.
END Optional First Step
1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install screen
4. screen -S update sudo apt-get install fglrx vim openssh-server g++ libboost-all-dev subversion git-core python-numpy
5. Enter your password.
6. Once the updates are going, press CTRL-A then press D. You should detach from the screen and be returned to a prompt.
7. screen -d -m -S icd wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/icd-registration.tgz
8. screen -d -m -S pyopencl wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyopencl/pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz
32-bit 9. screen -d -m -S stream wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32.tgz
or
64-bit 9. screen -d -m -S stream wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64.tgz
10. screen -r stream
10a. If you get a "There is no screen to be resumed" message, continue on. Otherwise, you should get a download status, wait until it's done, then continue on.
11. sudo tar xvfz ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx??.tgz -C /opt
12. sudo tar xvfz icd-registration.tgz -C /
13. tar zxfv pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz
14. screen -r update
14a. If you get a "There is no screen to be resumed" mesasge, continue on. Otherwise, wait for the update to finish. You will be returned to a prompt when it's done.
15. svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc
16. svn checkout http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/trunk
17. git clone git://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm poclbm
18. mv trunk phoenix
19. echo export DISPLAY=:0 >> ~/.bashrc
20. cd pyopencl-0.92
32-bit 21. sudo sh -c 'echo "/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf'
32-bit 22. ./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86
or
64-bit 21. sudo sh -c 'echo "/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64/" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf'
64-bit 22. ./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64
23. sudo ldconfig
24. source ~/.bashrc
25. make -j3
26. sudo make install
27. cd ../python-jsonrpc
28. sudo python setup.py install
29. cd ~
30. chmod +x phoenix/phoenix.py poclbm/poclbm.py
31. sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
32. sudo reboot
That's it, you're done. You should now have a fully functional Ubuntu 11.04 mining rig with Phoenix and poclbm installed. To test it out, you can go into the poclbm directory and run poclbm without any switches and see if your graphics card(s) show up. Do this with: cd poclbm
./poclbm.pyIt should list your CPU (possibly) and your graphics cores available. Here's a couple useful tricks for working with your graphics cards: To display the temperature of your cores: aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all To display the clock speeds of your cores: aticonfig --odgc --adapter=allTo show or set your fan speed: Shows fan speed aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"Sets fan speed to 100% aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100" If you have multiple cores, you'll need to export a different display variable to access the different cores, like this: Show fan speed on 2nd card: export DISPLAY=:0.1; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"You can change the .1 to .2, .3 etc... for how many cards you have in the system. To change your clock rates: Set your core clock to 900MHz and your memory clock to 1000MHz on all cards. Change according to your desire. aticonfig --od-setclocks=900,1000 --adapter=allTo set for a particular card, change --adapter=all to the adapter number you want to change. That should take care of just about everything you need to do to mine in a Bitcoin pool. Like this guide and find it useful? Donate!

Jeeze, 2 5830's = $260, rather than 2 5850's $484
seems like the 5830 is on par with the 5850 in mh/s anyway...
It is not, 250 vs 300mhs is disappointing. Someone said they were hitting 300mhs with the 5830 |
