install screen. type "screen", run the miner, then control+d detaches the screen. then type "screen" again to run another miner. typing "screen -ls" will list all the open screens. their is a number at the beginning of each screen in the list, type "screen -r <number>" to reattach to the screen.
Hmmm, does this get the Xorg process running to install the fglrx drivers? |

The if (H == 0) modification fixed my crossfire issue. Now all the GPUs are used at 97%-99%, before i had 1 GPU at 99% one at around 94% and one at around 85%.
Wow, really? How could that be I wonder? Did you do anything else besides pasting in the above section of code? |

Hmmm, just had a deflationary thought moment ... would really like a few of these for testing but now they have dropped in price ... do I wait until BTC goes up more or do I buy now because they could earn me more .... ??
Weird feeling, well not that weird, I've been sitting on gold for 15 years while my house crumbles down around me lol.

Started reading this and stopped when I got to statement that "Bitcoin is a fiat currency" .... wrong.
Bitcoin is a fiat currency. It is a software fiat currency, but a fiat currency nonetheless. Did you look up in dictionary what the word "fiat" means? Oxford concise, forget about the other crap. It is not a fiat currency ... mixing technical terms with colloquialisms used by the uneducated is how the law became the subjective morass of co-opted interests that it is today. Basically there are no objective rulings anymore and you can buy the ruling you need. It is not really a justice system but a legal system ... law of the jungle is not far behind. While from a technical perspective you are right that bitcoin is like a virtual game, the law looks past technicalities to substance. Linden Dollars and other virtual currencies aren't really meant to be used to buy any and all goods -- just those in-game. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is meant to circulate broadly and to be used to buy real goods. I do not recall seeing anywhere what bitcoin is "meant" to do .... it is like claiming that people started using gold nuggets for trade because someone stated they were meant to be used to buy real goods. So, no statement of fact, they can be and can not be used for whatever. Nice try to slip around that one but it has more guts than you think. |

Rally on again, it seems, this could be the spike to end the bull run since 10/04 ...

Invite everybody involved in the game to pray together and to let themselves be filled with the Holy Spirit for guidance on who should leave with the money or if it should all be donated to a worthy charity?

It has nothing to do with fiat at all ... look up dictionary definition of fiat, it means "by decree or by order of authority" ... bitoin has not been ordered, or decreed, or authorised as currency by any authority that I know of ... it is in many respects the exact opposite of an authorised currency.
Not a fiat currency, this is wrong. Fix that and I might finish the rest of it.

Well here I was worried about releasing a product that would be perceived as cheap. I might as well put my personal system up for sale which has 2 used 5970's in a 4u case and keep these nice systems I built for myself  Well, I don't want to tell you your business but the gamer's rice-rocket, flash-splash gaming rigs probably not gonna work so well for profitable bitcoin mining ... it may look good but you'll be throwing money down a hole spending it on hardware accessories besides the GPU/CPU combo. Longevity, reliability is an economic driver but only needs to be as good as to get to next generation, don't think anyone knows exactly when that is ... better off putting some expense into some kind of PCI-e expansion and power supply upgrade options to get more kit in that fine tower box you're selling. I think PCI-e extender/riser cabling should be a profitable business, (I want some). Nice looking rigs you got there though. |

I'd post pictures of probably the "cheapest" mining hardware going but it would freak too many people out what you can get away with on the hardware side ... and set bad examples ... in my defence, it is a prototype.

Wouldn't a decent way to handle this be to add an optional units parameter?
Especially if the need for mBTC could be not too far off?
e.g., instead of
bitcoin:address?amount=0.010
a
bitcoin:address?amount=10&units=mbtc
If units= is not specified, then the default of units=btc would be assumed.
.... it is how science got around the mess it found itself in in the early 1800's before Faraday sorted it out, implied/inferred unit conventions are a recipe for disaster, regardless of the context. Specify the units and be done with it. Edit: actually there is another incentive to explicitly specify units, a future use for the protocol maybe to send currencies other than BTC to a bitcoin account, e.g. dollars, euros, Goldau, could be possible future unit options ... (would have to be a nifty app. to do the conversion, interface with intermediary, etc, but you never know). |

So if the govt. wants to shut-down/regulate bitcoins will they also go after in-game virtual currencies like Linden Dollars, World of Warcraft, Second-Life credits, etc?
Bitcoin is really no different in essence to a virtual game, albeit with an arcane and simplistic rule set.

How many PCI-e x16 slots can be used on the GIGABYTE GA-890FXA-UD5 mobo?
If I put a 5970 in each of the x16 slots and another in the x8 slot will it work or need some extra configuration???
... the manual seems to say 2 x16 cards or 3 x8 cards but not 3 x16 cards (1 down slotted to x8).
Down-slotting is possible but what happens when the 2 x16 address space is full and another x16 is placed in a x8 slot?

More than likely your Xorg configuration file is not being generated correctly causing the Xserver to crash on start-up and then sends you into CLI on next boot ...?
... you can display it's contents from the command line with a
$less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
it gets changed when you do the
$sudo aticonfig --initial --adapter=all
make sure you do this in a newly opened terminal or the environment variables may not be correct .... also if you have only 1 GPU in your set-up do only the
$sudo aticonfig --initial

Governments can ruin bitcoin by regulation. Sure they can not shut the network down BUT they can make it illegal to receive coins or send coins. Local business will have to conform to those rule in the legal market. bit-coin hubs could easily be hounded out of country.
For example in Australia I must have specific licensing to run financial services, even for non cash payments once the payments are worth over a threshold.
If I were to run something like MT Gox in Australia I would need to comply or I would be in breach of the law.
There are so many laws now that you are almost guaranteed to be in breach of any number at any time just by being ... if they try to drive bitcoin underground it will become a campaign that will destroy "free" society as we know it. |
