No. But see PM.

Ref earlier, this is my command line for LTC

cgminer --scrypt -I 18 -d 0 --remove-disabled --thread-concurrency 22400 -u 1 -p 2 --url http://127.0.0.1:9327 --auto-fan

This gives me around 500kh/s. I played with the clock speeds. Raising the mem clock didn't seem to help much with the hashrate. Above 1900, the screen started flickering but the hashrate had stayed about the same. Playing with the engine clock didn't seem to have the drastic effect claimed from the README but the 60% was out-of-range I think so it looks like I may have to lower the mem clock? I think I need to run some various options with that to get an idea of what's going on. Any other suggestions much appreciated.

Moses was a man, all men are mortal, therefore all men are Moses?

Just because there is fraud* doesn't not imply a Ponzi scheme. Do words mean anything to people anymore?




*This is a generalization. I am not saying there is or is not in the case of BFL.

Here's a pretty big one. Unless I'm missing something.

So I have GPUs 0, 1 and 2. I want to use GPUs 1 and 2 for one instance of cgminer. GPU 0 is irrelevant for now.

Originally I had created a cgminer.conf using the write setting option with all 3 GPUs. No problem, I do

cgminer -d 1 -d 2 --remove-disabled -c cgminer.conf

Get an error "Too many values passed to set temp cutoff". "No problem" thinks I "I'll just go in an edit the three values per parameter down to two".

This appears to work. Except I notice that the fan is coming on early, my GPU temps are low compared to what I'm used to (shared fan) and my intensity on GPU 2 is bouncing all over the place. Clearly it looks like cgminer is reading the conf file, applying (or not applying) the first entry to GPU 0, the second to GPU 1 and leaving GPU 2 at the defaults.

In case I had just misunderstood the format of the conf file for what I wanted to do, once I set up the temperature cutoffs and intensity interactively, I wrote out the conf file.

Manual inspection reveals that the conf file contains three data values for each option, just like my original file. Sure enough, when I try to use it with the command line above,  "Too many values passed to set temp cutoff".

It appears that there appears to be some crossed-up logic on how cgminer handles the config file between reads and writes when the --remove-disabled option is used.

For now, I guess I can just pass the options on the command line but thought you should know about this (apparent) bug.

Some kind of DOS attack?

Got three "GOT INCOMPLETE BLOCK FROM PEER" messages and then p2pool stopped. Peer IP is 192.203.228.65

Now just got another one.

Just as a note to my earlier issues with the GPUs on the 5970, when I got home, I powered off my system for 30 minutes and it looks like things are back. I guess the card got into a weird state when the power glitched.

Though what I'm thinking now is to put the old 6770 in with the 5970 and mine bitcoins there and put the 7950 in another system to mine litecoins

I guess that brings up that if there were any kind of way to put a "total card reset" into cgminer, it might be a good thing.

You can't as it's part of the definition. It's like saying stealing an apple is grand-theft-auto if you replace "Car" with "fruit".

First line of Wikipedia

No, what means that it is not a Ponzi scheme is that it does not have the essential aspects of a Ponzi scheme even if it turns out they are commiting some other kind of fraud or incompetent or simply unlucky or whatever else you might want to ascribe their tardy delivery schedule to.

I can see the hacked-together thing. Everything is modular. Heck, even the major part of the engine is already there. Basically it's just some glue logic and a fancy interface to tie it all together. If you have note readers and receipt printers and the like lying around and libraries to drive them (where required), there's no reason that you couldn't cobble something that works together quickly. Of course, the 80/20 rule applies and there's a lot more to getting a shipping product out there than having a working prototype.

That's what I was doing but my 5970 is misbehaving as it shows up but does 0/0 on one or both GPUs and then reports sick, whatever. But it has randomly in the past too. I'm wondering if my 12V lines are not keeping up. It's a reflowed unit so possibly it is just not doing so well.

cgminer on 12.10 gave me lots of hardware errors at any decent level of intensity with Litecoin mining. Couldn't get it to work at all with 13.1 or 13.3 (hangs/crashes at the version screen, runs with -T but doesn't produce useful work). I am now on 12.08 which seemed to be mining OK for about two hours with both BTC and LTC at the same time but then we had a power blip and things aren't working right anymore (not sure if hardware or software, had to bail and go to bed). Max intensity I can mine LTC with on the 7950 is 18 at about 520kh/s.

This post is more informational than looking for a solution to any problems (though any advice always appreciated).

Speak for yourself.

Well, going straight to micro would be a little cumbersome at this stage.

I considered that but I did a search for yamamoto and 1:25:33 and that is apparently the time of a person from the Boston marathon, 2013. Not that I'm necessarily buying into it but...

I just stopped it and restarted it. Whoever was connected must have connected to someone else. Either it hasn't been an issue since or when it has been, I haven't noticed it.

Longer term, I need to turn my QOS back on and put p2pool up in the priorities and bitcoind down (probably down in the crawl category). Though it's possibly I'm going to upgrade my internet before then anyway.

I don't know much about the blockchain format but I wonder if there would be much mileage in merely indexing into the blockchain data and only storing the indexes in the database...

Absolute first thing in my book would be to give up on sqlite. It's really not meant for this kind of abuse. Other than that though...


Edit: That is to say, you could continue to offer sqlite as an option but I wouldn't waste any time trying to optimize it.

Another point to consider is that right now, any move Satoshi makes with his coins is likely to risk his/her/their anonymity.

Maybe he accidentally formatted his hard-drive
