Yes, I did try that, with no change in results.  I'm looking through xorg.conf file now to see if there is anything interesting in there.

Awesome, thanks so much!

<Solution>
The issue was that I was running version 2.1 of AMD's SDK which wasn't seeing my 6800 card.  I installed version 2.4 and all 3 cards are working now.


I'm running Ubuntu and attempting to get my 3 cards up and running. All 3 cards show up in aticonfig and also with lspci commands, but when attempting to launch phoenix with the 3rd GPU it says it can't find the device and only lists 2 of the 3 GPUs.  I've looked through the forum and none of the posts found so far seem to provide a solution to my problem in particular.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Eli, I think this is great.  This is exactly what Bitcoin needs to help move it more into the mainstream and out of the domain of techies.  You did a nice job on the mock-ups of the UI, it looks very polished.  What tools/languages have you been using for development? 

Yea, I saw this thread, but unfortunately the links to the bitcoinchart.com trade.csv file only provide about 3 days worth of trades, even when specifying time=0.

Does anyone know where historical price data at the daily level can be obtained from?  I was looking at bitcoincharts.com, but it looks like their history only goes back a few days. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Curious to hear how many active traders are on this board and which exchange(s) you trade with and how many trades per day or week you make?  What trading platforms do you use, ie exchange website, 3rd party app, mobile app, etc. and what, in your opinion is currently missing from this space that would help you with the process of analyzing market data as well as placing your trades. 

I'm a software developer who has been writing stock/futures trading related software for trading my own account for the last 8 years, and I would like to see tools for Bitcoin trading that provide similar features to those found in the stock and commodity markets in an effort to help increase liquidity on the exchanges, in turn helping bring down the transaction costs for consumers and merchants who rely on these exchanges to convert their funds to/from BTC as a course of their business.

Looking forward to hearing your replies.

Nice!

Do you have link to the ASIC units.  I haven't heard a lot about them.  I'm working on getting a few rigs set up over the next couple of weeks.  How many boxes could you host?

My point was that it is more than monopoly money that is being transacted, and that the IRS and the SEC will care about it.  Taxes should be paid on transactions just as you said, but from the forum on the GBSE website, it sounds like offering securities to US investors without SEC registration is against the law.  Offering securities to non-US investors is likely regulated as well in whatever foreign jurisdiction the particular investor resides.

The IRS might care if my business is audited and they investigate where these funds that my business raised through GBLSE have come from.  Of if my business is sued by an shareholder/bondholder for any number of reasons and it comes to light with the SEC that my business made an offering of securities without registering, and without due diligence on the residency/citizenship of each investor.  If you are offering securities to investors outside the US, I'm sure that you would need to respect the securities laws of the country where that investor is from as well.


I really like the idea behind GBLSE and being able to raise capital easily through debt or equity offerings, but after reading through the link provided on the GBLSE forum I wouldn't feel comfortable putting my business at risk.

Neighbor and myself are mining out in Snoqualmie.  I'm currently working on developing a desktop charting/trading tool for the major bitcoin exchanges.

So isn't there any danger running afoul with the SEC for selling 'securities' tied to your company when going public through GBSE without registering with them?

I've been playing with the same sort of idea as well, minus the automated trading piece (at least in the first version).  I hope to have an initial version out there in the next couple of weeks.  What are some of the WPF based trading platforms that you have been looking at?

Wow, I just bought some 5830s from Newegg last week and was going to buy some more within the next couple of weeks. 

Good question, where do you get these cards now?

Just curious if anyone out there is doing any automated trading on the Mt. Gox or TradeHill exchanges, and if so what are they're experiences have been.

I write software to trade in the stock/futures markets, and have thought about tinkering with an automated trading application for the bitcoin exchanges.

Would appreciate hearing other people's thoughts.

Thanks!

This is not necessarily true.  It depends on the open source licenses that the other libraries are using.  Something like the GPL you can include the open source library in your application and only need to release code for that library if you modified the library itself, but you are *not* required to release the code for your own application.  Look at Oracle, they make heavy use of Apache web server in the ERP applications, but they are most definitely not open source.

Hi all,

trying to get my first mining rig set up and followed the instructions at:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7514.0 for the 2.4 SDK
I was able to get through all the steps except for installing python-jsonrpc as their SVN server is not responding at the moment, and from what I've been able to find, that piece may not even be needed anymore.

However, when I attempt to run phoenix or poclbm I get the following error.

X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  159 ()
  Minor opcode of failed request:  19
  Serial number of failed request:  8
  Current serial number in output stream:  8

I'm running ubuntu 11.04.

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Rob
