i usually start 'em all using addnode, these getblock-lags just happened quite often lately, so i tried using the connect-switch, here's a screeny* of 2 nodes seem to be connected to forwarded-node, both show only 1 connection, the higher blockcount is, the lower isn't, it sometimes even tells me, drops to 0connections for a sec, then back to 1, but still doesnt get any new blocks. same happens when both are addnode'd and showing 8connections, connections drop below 8 and no more blocks are downloaded, mining doesnt stop though, lots of wasted energy, at least it's green. * from front to back - GPU mining to (addnode'd) remote node (not on screen) - HD-miner-node -connect=<ip> (idle) - a random node -connect=<ip> (idle, running in VM) about half an hour after the shot was taken, the random node still hasnt loaded any blocks, it's not that it's always the VM that lags blocks though, sometimes it's the other way around. |

while running standalone, non-forwarded, it's 8connections
while addnode'd, it's 8connections,
while connect'ed to forwarded node, it's only one.
what also might help is just running on different (but forwarded) ports,
as mentioned before silly me isn't able to compile/patch, so i'm not able to try yet.

i noticed some strange disconnections lately, everything seems alright, but it somehow hangs and doesnt get new blocks, happens while connected un-forwarded (showing 8connections), -connect=<forwarded-nodes-ip> (showing 1connection), -addnode=<forwaded-nopdes-ip> (showing 8connections), forwarded-node has 50<80connections and seems to always have all blocks, other nodes sometimes just don't get them, no matter how i connect them. not sure yet what's causing this, a feature to force getblock or somethin' would be handy sometimes. but this made me try to set up both OpenCL miners to run on one node. starting the (former GTX-only) node with -rcpallowip, connection and mining works fine, eatin' a few Mhashes though. while running the (remote) HD-miner at defaults (askrate=5), the (local) GTX-miner slows down from ~45M to ~43M average, setting (remote) askrate=10 helped here, still a noticable but <1M loss, the HD-miner also goes down ~2%, from 300 to 294. tested on 100MBit, maybe there's <2% loss on gigabit networks, i'll try as soon as i find someone to pay for some switches and cards.  happy crunching and if anyone knows of, or finds a solution to that spooky non-forwarded-node-disconnects, let me know, thanks. |

thanks for switching to virwox-data, you missed the Func LDlabelClick() though, it still points to the LindeX Market, no big deal but might confuse people, cuz it shows different prices. virwox got a json-api too, btw, you might want to check that instead of the main-website, never used AutoIT myself, but this is what i do in php #### VirWox - Data
$url = 'http://api.virwox.com/api/json.php';
$data = '{ "method": "getMarketDepth", "params": { "symbols": ["EUR\/SLL", "USD\/SLL"], "buyDepth": 1, "sellDepth": 1 }, "id":1 }';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$obj = json_decode($output);
curl_close($ch);
#echo $output."\n\r";

no buy-with-bitcoins option?  i'd like to help anyway, check your PMs. |

How can they make the market price if they have no money?
Who's they? It's not mtgox who makes the price, it's you and me and everyone else that made an offer to buy or sell. |

yeah, that's why i didn't use it ... I removed usage of vectors. So the '-w 128' is not relevant anymore. Of course you can grab the vectors version from git and use it like before. It is really difficult to optimize for all possible devices. Current version is kind of best for all.
and i havent been compiling any miners myself (tried a few times but had no luck so far installing all required components on x64), so grabbing code x from y to patch z wouldn't help me much. i'm just a user anyway, not a coder (php-scripter for fun, but that's it), one could say i represent the masses (at least those that are interested in how it works), that's why i'm so happy that there's a few nice people to realease binaries. playing around with frames just gives me a ~1-2% increase, not really worth mentioning and for the cost of a very low responding desktop. @m0mchil: you should really put your btc-address either into the initial post of this thread, or your sig, kinda hard to find already and will get even worse over time.  |

nah, i wouldn't say that, the bitcoin-randomizer-node only runs at ~800khash/s on a single core and still generates blocks every now and then, i even got miners running on an intel-Atom and PIII-1GHz that just get ~250khash/s. you just need some more luck, any single hash could be the one we'r all looking for. if your running a GPU-miner anyway though, there's at least on midclass-ati-cards no real need to run CPUs, they'll consume more power than needed to get what you want. give your gfx-core another 1-2% speed and your done, this'll take ~5W+ instead of >50W+ for CPUs@full throttle. if your thinking about, or going to build a new miner-machine, i agree, don't bother with CPUs, nor with nvidia. careful though if you buy new stuff, dont get one of those shiny new HD6850/70, or you'll be dissapointed. |

mornin' miners, up for another update? here we go... short version: HD5850 300.000 khash/s @ 925MHz long version: i did some more testings and tweaks and finally reached my goal, to break the 300M-barrier while keeping below 70°C (setting higher voltages would not only consume more energy, as a result it'll also create noise which i really don't like). while Catalysts (and others) tests fail at clocksets above 910MHz, the pocl-miner doesnt care much about it, it runs fine up to 935MHz, more and the miner starts to get laggy and just starting the GPU Caps Viewer crashes the system (not if it's already running). to stay safe i set it to 925MHz, which still gives hangups and failures in tests, Fallout:New Vegas doesn't even start, stuff like that, but the miner runs fine, stable and averages at above 300Mhash/s. i think i'll keep it like that and just set it to defaults to kill Mr.House and save (or rule?) the world, that old guy kinda scares me. however, the ordinary screenshot this time is also a nice comparison of both of my OpenCL-capable Cards, funny that both of 'em found a block within 1hour. to the left (via vnc) we see a GTX260@685MHz at work, mining 45.000 khash/s on win7x64, to the right her greatness HD5850@925MHz, mining 300.000 khash/s on xp64. not to mention that theres still 5x2-3GHz CPUs left on those 2 machines that don't do anything right now, but hey, i'd get what, ~1000 khash/s per core? on the HD-miner that's <1%! and it'll also create more heat and noise and will need more energy too, i'd rather tweak the card/s a little more. but i think i'm done now and more than happy, hell i'm thrilled by those results, never thought the card would go that far. what do you think? how's your machine/s working? tell us about it, we wanna know, well at least i do. have a great day. |

can't help you with that one, the 2 blocks i found so far just showed up once, but i'v got another update on the HD5850. the core is up to 910MHz now (from 725@stock), which gives me ~297.000 khashes at default poclbm settings. system needs ~230W now, plus ~15% power to get plus ~25% hashes, still a good deal. seems like that's it for basic catalystcc oc'ing, maybe a bit more using higher voltages/other tools, but i'm fine with it.  to satisfy your screeny-fetish |

HD5850 just arrived and gets a whopping ~235.000khash/s stock, very nice indeed. that's 5 times a GTX260 oc'd at nearly the same power consumption (~200W), it's actually a few watts less on the HD5850, still room to oc it a 'lil. some updates: ran fine througout the day so i did some more testings, right now i'm up to 267.000 with default poclbm-settings*, the core clocked at 825MHz (stock 725MHz) doesn't even get close to hot, stock <63°C vs. current <66°C, it's fan is still idle, with a bit of luck it might even break 300Mhash, but i'm more than pleased for now. this card is well worth its money. * ~270.000 with frames=10, desktop gets kinda unusable then though, but if i dont need it anway there's some extra Mhs to gain woot! and just as i write this i generated my first OpenCL block! it no longer just seems to work, it really does.  |

core i7 quad, nvidia GT240, 64bit ubuntu 10.04
CPU: 7000 khps
GPU: 20000 khps
Should I be getting more? I have python 2.6.5 installed.
compared to my GTX260 which gets ~37.000 stock (575core/1240shader) and up to 45.000 oc'd (685/1480), you should be ok with 20.000. gonna run it on a radeon 5850 as soon as it arrives, should be by tomorrow. hopefully i'll get some more outof that. |

seems to work now on my GTX260 hashcount results are similar to puddinpops cuda-code, both get around 45Mhash/s. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\bitcoin_stuff\OpenCL\poclbm_win3
2_exe>poclbm --user=*** --pass=***
No device specified, you may use -d to specify one of the following
44120 khash/s

a few more days gone by, it should've been 1pm tomorrow even on mars by now,
but still ..... nothin'.
does anybody get his point in posting this?
i don't.

another day, another promise he didn't kept. time tells me, i still can't take any of his words for real. is it.. ..tomorrow i will give you the L$.. or is it... ..At 1:00 pm i will login to second life and pay you the lindens.. ? maybe he meant 1pm tomorrow (that would have been today), but what timezone? it wasn't mine, nor the forums, nor NYs, nor SLs. something like local mars time i guess, but what time is it up there, when does tomorrow start and are there any clocks on mars anyway? whatever it is, or should have been, he didn't do what he said he's going todo. he again talks a lot but doesn't act accordingly, so i still can't recommend anyone to trust him in any way. |

that's what i did, i just couldn't get it to work.
diskspace wouldn't be a problem at all, got a few hundred gigs left anyway and hdds arent that expensive nowadays,
bandwidth might (or will) be though (sooner or later), but i'll happily donate as much as possible of it.
so far i can't and i guess i'm not the only one.

I'd like to run a node, but last time i checked (about a month ago) i couldn't get it to work on windows. These installers can be downloaded from (TODO: they're built, but where are they downloadable?). any news about that? or do i have to install a linux-VM to get it to work? |

i get similar results with my nvidia card C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\bitcoin_stuff\poclbm_py2exe>poclbm
Traceback (most recent call last):

they'll both generate,
only difference is the number of connected nodes, it'll be limited to 8 on all un-forwarded clients.

i second that,
not that theres anything wrong with this translation, but i wouldnt talk like that in german to the CCC guys.
