So he will be paying all the debt off? That's a rather harsh punishment.
Harsh? That's pretty normal I would say - to pay back what you owe. I know of the situation, but why should BitLex pay for steven's mistakes? He's not expecting him to pay it off today I am sure, but in time he should give back all the money. |

@Raulo
I managed to test it with my Radeon 4670 here and i works flawlessly. I am getting ~9 more khash/s than I was getting on Windows XP.
I am really impressed. I am a linux noobie, so perhaps what you wrote isn't very complicated for people who are more experienced. But still - impressive.
Should I use the Bitcoin address in your signature?
I am going to test this with a 2x5850 setup soon. If you don't mind, I may get back to you later if I run into problems with that?

I would say that whenever he's doing some work for someone from now on, the payment should be sent directly to the people he owes money.
On the other hand, letting him give it back himself could be a good exercise for him.

@Raulo: When I get to: $ ./configure --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/lib/x86_64
$ make
This is what I get: (I assume you meant the user to use ./configure.py and not just ./configure as there is no such file in that directory?)

You really know what you're doing. 
I am testing it using 32-bit version, just replaced 64 with 32 or omitted it wherever necessary. Everything has been going great until I got to:
$ cd /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86
$ ./CLInfo |grep CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU
I get:
mahkul@mahkul:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/samples/opencl/bin/x86$ ./CLInfo |grep CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU
./CLInfo: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
mahkul@mahkul:/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/samples/opencl/bin/x86$
Any thoughts?
Sorry, my bad. Made a typo in the LIBRARY PATH. Getting back to testing. |

i am thinking of ways to fix it but all i get is bashed
ways to fix it? so instead of contacting those you owe, you vanish for weeks/months, then you create a new account and try to rip people off again. i hardly doubt, that you (anonymously) tried to sell mobile-minutes and php-codework to me, just to pay me back, that makes no sense at all. give me those mobile-minutes for free, work for me for free, that would make sense to pay me back, to play hide and seek doesn't. Exactly, if you are addicted to gambling you have a chance to work for your debts instead of paying them back in bitcoins. I would say that's more than a fair chance of "fixing it". You should be grateful that people are willing to accept your services instaed of money. |

I can write it. But why SDK 2.2 when 2.1 is faster?
Sorry, I meant 2.1. |

which version of ubuntu?
10.10 |

I will give 50 BTC to the person who will write a comprehensive tutorial on starting to mine using ATI GPUs on Ubuntu. The tutorial should include installation of relevant ATI drivers, 2.2 2.1 SDK with OpenCL and a GPU miner (preferably m0mchil's). This should also cover a scenario when someone has two or more GPUs installed in one machine (disabling Crossfire etc.).
Cheers.
PS. I will send Bitcoins only after I test it myself and confirm this is working on a fresh Ubuntu install.

Could anyone tell me what driver to use for ATI HD5850 under Ubuntu to use it for mining?
I found out there are (at least) two options: fglrx or xserver xorg
Currently I have the official fglrx driver, but I read that the open source one is better?
Is there any step-by-step guide for starting to mine with GPU on Ubuntu using ATI as there is one for nVidia? I couldn't find anything on the forum.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.

I think the way this guy explains how Bitcoin works is VERY clear. If possible we should put this on youtube.
Thanks Bruce for sharing the link!

When I try to install it says: mahkul@mahkul-Dimension-2400:~$ sudo apt-get install bitcoin Reading package lists... Done

Is the package gone from the repository? (I succesfully added the PPA prior to installing). |

Yes, there was a limit for over 3 years, but now you can trade any ammount of gold to anybody. There's no trade limit since last monday  You act quickly. |

I will give 50 BTC to whoever does it.

I set up a new mining computer Thursday night that has a hash rate of 640000 khash/s. I also have my main system mining at a rate of 320000 khash/s. Based on the probabilities provided via http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php, on average, I should see a block every 1.21 days (assuming 900 Mhash/s), and I should have a 95% chance of seeing a block in 3.625 days. Since I've yet to see a block on either of these systems I'm beginning to worry that something has been hacked or there is some other problem. At what point should I assume there is a problem and clean off the systems and re-start? Based on the 50% time, I estimate a 99% chance for 6 days of mining, which would be Wednesday morning. The odds of 6 days of mining at 900 Mhash/s without a block is 1/100. Anyone have any ideas on what to look for regarding a hack? Don't worry man, I know the feeling and it is perfectly normal. The same way sometimes you may see many blocks generated within a short period of time, sometimes you won't see any of them for a while (even above 95% - I have experienced that myself a few times). Still, maybe there is something wrong with your miners. |

I think what ShadowOfHarbringer is trying to say is that, for instance, if some kind of a journalist hears about Bitcoin and they decide to check the website/forum - if the first and hottest topics they see are "young women for bitcoins" or "how to open a heroin store" they wouldn't be too impressed. Yes, I know you don't care, but without such people the article in the Irish Times might have never been published, which would again slow down getting our Wikipedia page up. Little things. To quote Guru (RIP): "Be more intelligent than just an angry rebel.". Why did Satoshi not want Bitcoin to be adopted by Wikileaks? Because he doesn't support them? No - because it is TOO EARLY. We should concentrate on making Bitcoin popular among legitimate businesses. Get foundations and charity places to accept it - then we will have something to say to defend Bitcoin if someone says it's only used for the bad.
I have nothing against someone opening drugs store or selling their arse (literally) for bitcoins, but what Shadow's saying also makes sense.

This is a very good point - both the graphics and the content on the main site could use an upgrade.
When I was creating my website about Bitcoin I was going to just copy and translate the content of the original website to Polish, but then I decided to do it my way.
Who owns the main page anyway, is it Satoshi?
