Huh? GIT HEAD bitcoind supports import private key functionality: importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey> {label}This being present on the GUI is of absolutely no importance to me... I had noticed this in HEAD, but I never checked if the official release has this through RPC or not. But is it in to stay Gavin? I may finally move my web help libs to use a non patched client  |

I know nothing of triangles as they are applied to predictions and such, but the "calm" we're experiencing is a bit unsettling.
If I had to point my finger while looking at the shiny crystal ball, I would say that the fact mtgox's verification process is becoming a bigger burden, the fact they still don't allow SEPA withdrawals along with intersango's being unable to withdraw to UK banks is leaving many people without the "cash out" option, which is the main driving force for the quick dumps imho. I know I do it every month to pay electricity, and the fact I can trade coins but can't then easily collect euros is a major issue.

The 1.15x FPGA boards delivered in January 2012 are a few percent slower (192 MHz or 200 MHZ) than the ones delivered in 2011 (200MHz or 208Mhz).
Nevertheless, make sure that you mounted the heat sink using the push pins and thermal grease (do not use the adhesive pad).
The FPGA calculates one hash per clock, i.e. the (actual) hash rate always corresponds to the frequency minus error rate.
The value "submitted hash rate" from the BTCMiner output is empirical and based on the measurement of submitted shares. This value is influenced by statistics and things like network errors (check log for warnings). This value should (if no network errors occur) converge to the (actual) hash rate.
Ok, that does explain it. I have mounted the heat sink with the thermal grease (I didn't even notice the pad, to be honest) and, while reading back this thread, decided to take it off, clean it up and apply some of the better thermal grease I use for GPUs. Same difference. It is very stable at 192Mhz, error rate is 0%, and nothing of relevance appears on the logs. Looking at the pool hash rate calculation I see it spiking to 220MHs but more often than note stay below 180MHs. I guess that's just variance at its best, I very satisfied with the ease of use, stability and power dissipation of this little thing. Great job! Now I just need to get more boards asap  |

Well, before running aticonfig --initial -adapter=all everything works fine (all cards are recognized) however when I try to utilize all cards that doesn't quite work, which is why I do the adapter=all thing.
Ok, so a single card runs fine as an auto-detected configuration. Is it possible that one of the cards is misbehaving? Can you try each card individually? No, after getting the new xorg.conf file I can not get to the text console at any time (completely black screen but the monitor led stays on so I know it has signal). It's almost like screen is being displayed 'somewhere else.'
That could very well be it, the somewhere else part. Did you try to move the VGA/DVI connector to another card, or to another port within the card? It could be that the autodetect is using the card that has the monitor on it, but then with =all it is using some other as main screen in a broken multi-screen config. |

A new version of BTCMiner with improved performance (typically 200 MH/s on LX150) has been released on http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/ (release number 111214). I got my first ztex board today (yiipee!!!) and got it mining in no time, quite a different experience from the GPU realm Now, I'm using release 111214 but as soon as it tries 200MHz the error rate goes from 0 to ~4.5%, making it fall back to 192MHz where I'm getting less than 180MHs average. Is there anything I can do to improve this or was I just unlucky with the board I received? FYI, I tried both a separate 12v 2A power supply from an external hard drive and have it now connected to the computer PSU. I do get some complains from the usb subsystem but I'm assuming they are normal: [64741.636023] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

My problem: after running aticonfig --initial -adapter=all I get a new xorg.conf. After restarting my computer the monitor shows a blank screen but still has a signal. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my xorg.conf. Any help would be so very much appreciated. Thanks.
Looking at your dmesg output didn't really give any clues. Can you see the text console? (try ctrl+alt+F1~5). I've had much grief trying to get Catalyst to behave in a multi-monitor setup, but then again I moved to a situation where my miners are running text only, headless and are dedicated to mining. No more config pain. |

Your dmesg gives a good hint:
[ 3.509706] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509714] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509721] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509727] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509733] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509739] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509745] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
[ 3.509751] vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
etc
If I were to guess, Id say you are using extender cables and at least one of them (to which the monitor is connected) is no good.
You would probably guess wrong. I always have these when using GPUs that also have HDMI audio, and my guess is that it is just probing and finding things that are, well, not video. Still, the point remains I have these too and my setups work fine. |

Hi Nelisky,
Thanks for the pack! It arrived in one piece. I will clean it and start to use it next week.
Sorry about the accumulated dust Everything is in very good shape and I'm sure you will mine many a good coin with it! I just sent you the remaining 30 BTC. I beleive it will be there shortly.
Received. So bar you having any issue with the hardware, this trade is concluded. Thanks! |

can you post a paste link for the output of you dmesg?

The 2 GPUs where shipped to AniceInovation, tracking number provided privately.
|
|
|

the brackets that hold the heatsink down
The X shaped things? I'll have to count the ones I have off the WC'd cards. If I find any left overs I'll send them your way. |
|
|

@nelisky
dont need WC with no GPU :/
and explain me, where 640 Euro is more than 720 $??
or, you dont have too.
Aha, I thought your offer was being made with the knowledge I was probably going to sell the GPUs separately, as I indicated in a previous post. As for the exchange rates, google says €1 == $1.2922, which means €640 == $827 which is, in fact, 13% more than $720. |

hey nel just woundering if you might have 2 x clamps hanging around you might want to get rid of
I'm sorry, clamps? Can you share an image or something that can help me understand what it is that you need? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I really don't know what you mean... |

It was... I`m thinking to take the last block ek brand, if it will be cheap. Dont need backplate  I`ve got lots of any kind thermalpads - 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. Hmmm, let me try and fine the screws and spacers for it then. I will not be needing the backplate, though, don't think it'll have much of a resell value by itself. |

|

640 euros for them, it's my last one Cards sold to AniceInovation! I have been paid already and will be shipping them tomorrow. Thank you! |
|
|
|
@ummas: That obvious, right? Yeah, great party! @dmcurser: Thanks for the good word, I really appreciate it. @AniceInovation: Your's is by far the best offer. I'm giving the rest of the folk a little while to make new offers, just to be fair (and because it's good for me ). Everyone else, is there any interest in the other stuff? The water blocks, pump and radiator? |
|
|
|
|
malevolent and AniceInovation are tied on the race to buy just the GPUs, and baby_ghost is winning by a nose.
ummas has the best bundle offer, and I am favoring his offer. I will be mostly offline till tomorrow, so I'll make a decision then so I can post the stuff on Monday. Feel free to make more offers if you feel so inclined, I will try and respond to them asap, though probably only tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
put me down for 5, assuming the trusted member steps fw I will need shipping to EU. |
|
|
|
@malevolent: That is pretty much exactly the same AniceInovation is offering... just saying Anyway, where are you located? Which side of the pond? Will you pay shipping on top of that? @everyone else: I'm deciding between 2 offers now, AniceInovation (2x5970s for ~$780) and ummas (2x5970s+2xWB+RAD for $910). Does anybody have interest on the rest of the stuff, i.e. all but the cards? |

i prefere BTC too
If you`ll explain all the stuff i had replayd on PM.
Options: - Trust me; you send the BTC, I send the stuff. I've been around for a long time, have done a few deals on the Forum and on #bitcoin-otc. Of course, if you are new around these parts you'll have no reason to trust my word so the other option is - Use an escrow; I don't trust any of the existing escrow services (this is not to say I have reasons to be suspicious of them, just that I don't have enough trust to use them without second thoughts) so I'd rather ask someone else to serve as middle man here from the forum. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37805.0 for some pointers, davout has agreed to do this in the past. This works by you sending the coins to the escrow, the escrow confirms receipt, I send the stuff, you acknowledge good reception and only then escrow releases funds to me. Both of us need to trust the person holding the coins. |
