You're going on Santa's meme abuse list.  Tongue

AND

How are my ideas in the OP not foolproof?

I tow my rigs along behind electrified trains and dangle the plug on to the live rail. It works a treat!

Now that is the kind of out of the box thinking that this thread is looking for.

Excellent IDEA!

Thank the lord. 1 more minute and possible processing time. Finally!

I'll be joining you soon!  This is post #5, with 1 more hour to go, woot!

hour and a half here, need 2 more posts

god I can't wait, Ive been a newbie status for a month because I just lurk and forget to log in for time

Don't forget you have to be actively clicking links too.  There's a timer that logs you out for inactivity.  I have zero idea what the time limit is.

I wonder how people did this fine Saturday morning with the bots?

I know this bot is not a hi-freq. but how much did anyone lose?

I happened to be up watching the carnage as it was happening and I assume someone dumped coins and my guess is destabilized a lot of bots.

Ahh I remember the day I was allowed to take off the training wheels like it was a couple of weeks ago.

Cherish this time.
86  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What other crypto currency should MtGox support ? on: March 22, 2013, 11:16:13 PM
Litecoin.

So you run Mt.Gox?  Or are you going to petition them with a survey?

I just found this article it explains at length what I stated in an earlier post.

I've never been a big fan of hybrid or electric vehicles. Sure, they use less gasoline, but there are many many hidden environmental costs.

For example, how many chemicals are needed to create those giant batteries that they use? How much more do they cost to make, compared to a subcompact economy car? How long do they last? What is the total carbon footprint? In other words, how much gasoline does it take to make a hybrid car?

If you look at all the inputs and outputs, hybrid cars are basically a con. There is no way that they can ever compete with a Ford Focus or a Chevy Aveo. Heck, a V6 Mercedes Benz Diesel probably has better total life cycle fuel efficiency.

And apparently, the Toyota Prius could even be worse for the environment than the dreaded Hummer.

That's a pretty bold statement... , but putting forward some interesting data:

    A Prius has a life span of 100,000 miles.
    A Hummer has a life span of 300,000 miles.
    Over its lifetime, a Prius costs $3.25 per mile driven.
    In contrast, the Hummer costs $1.95 per mile driven, and
    The Toyota Scion xB costs $0.48 per mile driven.
    The original fuel economy estimates for Hybrids were inflated 30% by the EPA.
    One of the Prius's battery factories causes so much environmental damage that NASA uses the lifeless land nearby to simulate moon landings.


Great points.  The EPA is a sham.  They don't even use blended gasoline for fuel estimates, they use a special ultra refined pure gasoline blend for tests.

Still with the plugin hybrid you can get someone else, the taxpayer, to pay for charging your vehicle, thus your mining rig.

Pretty soon Google is going to be the government.  The intelligent web censors will shut down all non sanctioned communications on the net. 

Till then do what ThePiratebay did and decentralize.  I don't know how that would work for an exchange. 

But technically folks this is a game that is played just like any other mmorpg.  People build stuff with their computers and other people want to buy it.  Trading in Warcraft skills or buying Evony accounts, or whatever other game this is no different.  It is an online, purely digital commodity.

TacoTime, you're AWESOME!

Thanks for the guide and thanks for all the help.

This is a lot of fun, even with just one GPU going atm, this is fun.

When reporting hash rates do you use what the terminal states or what the pool states?

My terminal states ~565Kh/s
Pool states about 50% of that.
What the terminal states and by the number of shares accepted by the pool.  The pool is subject to variance and usually averages performance by the last 5-10 minutes, so it will appear low for the first 5-10 min.

Thanks.

Now I just have to get all the other GPU's going and I'm off to living in a noisy place.

It looks like you swapped the contents of reaper.conf and litecoin.conf, if I had to guess.

Be sure to move the litecoin-reaper.cl file over if you want to mine litecoin, too.


I copied the host line from the pool and he had the port at the end of the line so I left it as is.

I entered it as port [xxxx] and it works.

The rest is a pool issue with getting work.

Thanks for your help.

This is with litecoin.conf and reaper.conf in the same directory? (you can see both when you run 'ls'?)

No for the first.

I wised up and copied reaper from build to the directory with the litecoin.conf and reaper.conf files, restarted from root terminal and I get this.

Do you have a BTC address you use for small donations?

This one is fine

Just sent,

this is what I get in root terminal.  I input the sample configs you had listed for a 7950.

Nothing should change except the attribute on the file.  now,

Code:
./reaper
Should do something, because the FS recognizes it as an executable.

Sweet,

thanks.  It started in the terminal then quit cause I haven't specified a reaper.conf.    I'll go do that.  I forgot I unpacked the files again.

Sorry if this is off topic,

I finally got reaper to compile, I think.  It said it was linking the CXX executable to reaper or something similar.

Now I cannot get reaper to run.  The readme.md seems to suggest I go to the build folder and run reaper.  I click on reaper, or try and run reaper from the root terminal and get a command not found error.

If you cannot tell I know zilch about Linux.  I'm using Debian squeeze 64 if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

did you

Code:
chmod +x reaper
?

Thanks for the reply,

I just tried that from root terminal, and nothing happened.  I executed the command from the build directory where the reaper file is located.

Have you figured out how to run reaper yet?  I finally got it compiled and I cannot find the executable.
