How are you boards coming along? Any more details on your hash rates/problems you encountered/have you given any more consideration to selling?

What does your program do? Mining? Or are you cracking government passwords or something sketchy?
463  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Linux Bitcoin Copy to RAM? on: June 17, 2012, 04:11:03 PM
I've been looking around at some of the dedicated software like BAMT (which I am using with CGminer) and linuxcoin. The problem with these is they require a USB drive per rig.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a bitcoin distribution that, after setup and boot, would copy to RAM so you could remove your flash drive and use it in another machine?

Awesome. Just make sure those external power supplies can handle the GPUs and that the internal ones you are using on the motherboard can handle the load on the PCI-e rails from the GPUs.

I don't have any experience with the 5000 series but I run -v 2 -w 128 on CGminer. It's very good but I think there are better settings. I run those settings to get about 95MH/s on a 6770m 725mhz, 27MH/s on a 6450@700MHz and a somewhat variable 350MH/s on an unlocked 6950@880MHz.

What kind of cases you have?

A few more random thoughts:
- 600 watt ps is not enough to run a 5870 and a 6870.  Don't ask how I know.

Then you are doing it wrong Wink.

In all seriousness though, a good quality 600W power supply should be sufficient. What brand and model were you using, if I might ask? Seasonic PSUs are typically your highest quality power supply (and the companies they manufacture for, such as Corsair, except for their builder series). Lower quality power supplies, as well as using cheaper parts, can be unstable and often have a lot less than 600W available on the 12V rails (used for the GPU and CPU), not to mention being only barely able to handle their advertised load.

Just a link? Are you trying to start a discussion or...? Trying to make some kind of statement or...?

$6 for a direct deposit. I thought this was expensive but I couldn't find anything better. I'll just have to wait until I mine $300 worth to do another "withdrawal"

That was a cool read. I'm too afraid to invest actual cash in this, just mine on my existing hardware (6950, 6450, 6770m). Even the best $/MH cards out now would take 5+ months to pay off at current exchange rates and assuming the difficulty or exchange rate doesn't change. I can get ~0.25BTC/day at current difficulty... but only if I don't turn my machines off or stop the hashing to use them normally.
I've recently been looking into litecoin as an in-between for my CPUs since CPU mining is useless for BTC but LTC is the opposite. The exchange rates seem to favour CPU mining LTC and trading immediately for BTC over CPU mining BTC directly. 40LTC=0.03BTC after exchange fees. i7QM@1.8 + phenom II 5 threads + athlon II 3 threads = ~40LTC/day. vs 10MH/day=~0.01BTC/day.

So, Boris Reitman, you claim this is a startup company from Israel. And, according to your website, it is based completely on the idea that we trust a random person on the internet to deliver funds to organizations who are perfectly capable of asking for donations themselves? And you only re-register your site for one year at a time? And you haven't even gotten your site verified with a Class 3 certificate in order to verify your identity?

Based on the above there is a 90% chance this is a scam and a 10% chance you are some guy with good intentions who executed this poorly. I HIGHLY recommend this thread pointing to a very obvious scam be deleted and this user's account suspended... I guess this kind of thing is why the newbies forum exists. Oh wait, you are more than a newbie member. Are newbies easier targets?

I apologize if you fall under that 10% chance. If you do, there are a LOT of things that need to be done for you to be trustworthy.

BTW, cool that you went so far as to sacrifice some of your funds in order to look more legit.

If you are that 10% chance, your business model is flawed. No one can trust you. You could make yourself even more legit than you look now, be virtually legit but still take a 90% or upwards cut for personal profit...

Dedicated server perhaps? And RDP to it when you need to perform a transaction?

I missed the "gold rush" last year but started mining on and off when I got my 6950. I've got free electricity for now and have been more dedicated the past couple months. Added the 6770m from my laptop and 6450 I got to expand my number of desktop numbers. But even the most efficient $/MH cards aren't worth the purchase because it would still take 5+ months to pay them off. Starting mining litecoin recently and immediately exchanging it for bitcoin. Seems more efficient than CPU bitcoin mining directly.
