OK, so I guess the best answer is that BAMT rigs are fine as client miners for p2pool, but the p2pool software itself cannot be run on bamt?
Sorry not familiar with it.
Yes. Even if you use -a option in p2pool you will still have to run the pool software with a lot of writes, and the full block chains of all *coind's and all the writes that come with them. Not ideal for USB drives. |

p2pool doesn't require a local wallet. You just need to point your miner to a machine running p2pool and any *coind's you wish to mine. That machine should absolutley not be a BAMT machine. I have 3 BAMT rigs merged mining on p2pool with cgminer. The non BAMT machine is the one I have to spend the most time on.  |

Im back to square one: the usb-stick problem is gone.
bamt.conf wont apply overclocking, the values set are known stable clocks for this particular card. The card in question is a 5870, core voltage 1.16 core clock 970.
My workaround to this is to stop mining and run:
atitweak --set-core-voltage=1.16
atitweak --set engine-clock=970
And then restart mining.
If that works just add it to bamt.conf as a post oc command for the gpu and comment out the rest. post_oc_cmd: /usr/local/bin/atitweak -e 970 -v 1.16 -A <#> I never use the oc and fan commands just did it all that way. You can add -f <fan> and -m <memclock> also. It will set all profile levels so make sure they are sane clocks. |

Trying to set this up on rig#1
Problems so far: I cant get any overclocking in with bamt.conf. I was able to do some overclocking with AMDOverdrive Ctrl, but Im nowhere near what this particular card can do, it wont let me push the core clock past 900Mhz. I have set up all (3) the core_speeds at 970Mhz, tried only setting one dosent seem to make any difference.
Other than that everything looks fine.
I have been having issues too. What does it say on your http://YourMinerIP/ compared to what you set in bamt.conf? On my (3) 5850 GPU test rig that was doing 1120 Mhash/s under 0.4 is doing around 860 Mhash/s on 0.5 no matter what I put in for the 3 core_speed_X or mem_speed_X, it's like stock speeds only. I'm going to try another single 5850 GPU rig now. Have you checked that oc hasn't been disabled by mother? Not running .5 yet but I'd think this would be included https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28967.msg755770#msg755770 |

I just tried this out for the first time tonight, the hash rate is really low though. Is there a guide to get cgminer running with it? I'm assuming the mining software is the reason for hash rate.. It's only giving 330 hash's per gpu. (5970's with 850 clocks)
Like this in main settings: # start cgminer? set this to 1, and also set cgminer: 1 on each GPU you will manage with cgminer
cgminer: 1
# options to cgminer (must have at least --api-listen for any bamt tools to work)
cgminer_opts: --api-listen -0 http://<pool>:<port> -u <user> -p <pass> -I 8 --gpu-engine 850 --gpu-memclock 180 --auto-fan Then the GPU section (add for each GPU 0,1,2....): # GPU Configurtation
gpu0:
disabled: 0
# set to 1 if cgminer will manage this gpu.
cgminer: 1
# monitoring values, used by email alerts and gpumon
monitor_temp_lo: 45
monitor_temp_hi: 80
monitor_load_lo: 80
monitor_hash_lo: 125
Mine lock with 850 on each core though, they run stable at 850,830 and 180 mem. |

The imminent v0.5 release has support for wireless via the GUI, though it makes me a little more dead inside every time I think about it.
LOL...you should be hanging your head in shame All you GUI fans will find the new release much easier to use. |

DAT here you go: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/XeABs0KKAQ/cgminer.htmlKano, I'm sorry I don't know enough about coding. BAMT has a stop mining script that is run from gpumon on stop or restart mining. This doesn't work after 2.1.2 so I just go to the cgminer screen session and hit q before restarting. I'm sure it's an easy fix but the author feels 2.1.2 is the most stable and that is what he currently supports. EDIT: should mention that's 2.2.7 w/o bitforce or cpu flags. |

Anyone got a binary copy of linux cgminer 32bit? BAMT is still using 32bit kernel. Don't feel like installing all the packages to compile.
I've compiled 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 on BAMT, how would I get them to you? FYI the API changed slightly in 2.2.x breaking the stop mining command so you have hit q in the miner screen to stop or restart mining or it just sits there and laughs at you. |

Has anyone been running cgminer 2.2.x with BAMT? I'm still getting random OFF GPU's through 2.2.6 (just installed 2.2.7 to test) and I'm wondering if it's just something I'm doing wrong.
probably just the typical cgminer bugs. I haven't pushed out any new versions in fixes because it seems ever since 2.2.X they haven't been able to release a stable version. very much recommend to use phoenix. much more stable. I agree, and would like to get back to phoenix but my ISP doesn't agree with it. Cgminer handles the crappy connection much better, which is why I was excited to see it finally integrated into BAMT - which reminds me, I owe you some coins. The auto fan flag just causes GPU's to randomly disable after 2.1.2 so I guess I'll just stick to that version for now. |

We need a new stripped down version of linuxcoin or call it whatever, just for mining and maybe built around optimal settings/set-up for cgminer. Seems BAMT doesn't supoort or work with
What am I missing here, cuz my 5970 BAMT rig has been mining with cgminer for a week now - and it took 3 mins to set up  |

My schedule is crazy but let me know if anything gets organized for San Diego or LA, I'm really an hour from each. FYI, I have 9GHz of miners that are idle right now and could use some expertise if anyone is interested in some work. Will need to travel to San Clemente to work on them. Basically want them all setup from scratch software wise along with a little hardware work so they will be mining automatically on startup, etc.
Why idle? Idle miners are wasted money. PM me if you need help, I don't know if I would be able to drive out but I manage 5Gh/s remotely so I can answer some questions. |

Don't forget payout is similar to PPLNS. It will take 24 hrs to build your share percentage in the the share chain. When I add a miner my payout per block will slowly increase for a day and then stabalize. The second 24 or 48 hours are a more accurate comparison for payouts.

How hard would it be to add a minimum $/BTC value for the paypal auto cashout option? For example, I'd like to set it to $5/BTC. If BTC value is $5 or above, auto cashout to paypal as normal, but if it drops lower either cashout as BTC or just don't auto cashout at all- either option would be fine.
This would be a nice option to protect from random dips in the market without forcing the user to use only manual cashouts.
Why pay the PayPal fees? Just auto pay BTC to an exchange and have 1000BTC sell order set at $5. It will sell what comes in if the rate is over $5 and keep it as BTC if it is below. |

Just to be clear it's loss of simplicity not loss of anonymity that worries me. Right now it's easier for me to send money to family with bitcoins than banks, and it's the exhange that's the most difficult part. I hope it gets even easier in 3 years.

So I now have to go through the same bs as opening and using a bank account. Basically defeats the whole idea of Bitcoin....
Bitcoin does not end with MtGox. What are you doing here ? It's a bad sign. What's the point of Bitcoin if it becomes strangled by banking rules and regulations is my point. Why not just keep and use my over regulated bank accounts? I'm not dumping my mining rigs yet, but I'm moving on from Gox. |

I've caught it on a few reruns now, too bad they pulled his show he would have been good one to target for another segment.

Actually how do I use the "--address" option with merged mining?
Do I use a "," to separate them?
Thanks!
You can't specify an address for the merged chain (yet). The merged mining still needs some work. The address is currently fetched automatically via the RPC Ok, so I have put the same wallet(s) on all my mining machines, hence they all use the same addresse(s). Is that an ok workaround? Thank you! Why don't you just point all your miners to one p2pool merged mining instance? I have 3 miners but only run one p2pool, bitcoind, and namecoind. |

So this bill in question - it simply repeals the laws on the books, and replaces them with... nothing  This seems to be the goal of the freestaters, and I see progress being made with other bills. I hope you all can add this one to the list. |
