I'm using ubuntu 11.04.. cant seem to figure out how to turn off crossfire to save my life.

1) how can i tell if crossfire is enabled in linux
2) anyone know how to disable
3) what hash rate has anyone who has 2x 5970 getting?

When you installed them, did you install the bridge? if not crossfire is disabled.
862  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: ozco.in - New Australian Pool on: June 10, 2011, 01:57:53 AM
I would like to announce the arrival of a new Australian Pool.

ozco.in has been hashing for 72 hours and  things are running smooth Smiley
The website is still under development and changes will take place, we have our stats page up and running.

ozco.in is hosted in Australia and will offer lower latency to Australian, New Zealand and South East Asian miners.
#ozcoin on irc.freenode.net

Our vision is to encourage BTC use in Australia by supporting miners and other BTC enterprises in Australia.
We feel that a strong growing community will help us overcome any obstacles for BTC in Australia and we are here for the long run toward real world use of BTC - not for a quick buck.To this end we feel that transparency is vital in our project and will endeavour to provide as much information as required for this to become possible.
I would like to have offered a 0fee pool but to do this I would have to host overseas thus losing one of the prime reasons for this site - lower latency and less "Problems communicting with Bitcoin Rpc" that many "downunder" users suffer from.

Current features
The pools fees are set at 1%
Manual payout is available at a fee of 2%
Payout will occur 120 confirmations after block is paid to pool (we will reduce this to 100 asap)
Offering proportional payment.  (proportional payout) = (user shares) / (total shares) * (50BTC - 0.5BTC fee)
Long polling enabled to reduce stale shares

Upcoming Features
Web based irc client for instant support
Forums
More info on stats page

Please note a valid email adress is required for registration.

Currently running around 4.5 5Ghash/s

As an incentive to miners we are offering a reward on a sliding scale of 5BTC to the first miner to discover a block on our pool, 4BTC for the2nd block, 3BTC for the 3rd, 2BTC for the 4th, and 1BTC for the 5th, this will be a separate manual payment. Winners announced onsite and emailed

Getting started
1. Register an account with ozco.in  (the pin number is an extra layer of security for you once logged in)
2. Automatic email activation sent (working on the email. Click link copy/paste activation code)
3.Once activated login and go to "account details" section. Setup your workers, you will need the pin you set earlier.( please 1 worker per gpu for now)
4. Enter the address of the wallet you would like your payments made to and your amount for automatic payout (setting this to 1 would be appreciated initially - but your choice), you will need the pin again.
4. Join your miner to the pool:
hostname: http://ozco.in  port :8332
Username: <yourname>.<workername>  Password:<workerpassword>
5. Start your worker. On first connection it can take your client a few minutes to "connect" and download the work units.
5. You're done! Check out the pool Statistics to see how the pool is doing .

Questions, (positive) criticism/suggestions welcome  Smiley
its got way past late. i will add some links to miners and guides in the morning,
Best
Graet


I'd love to join, but getting alot more profit from something like eligius. Where abouts is it hosted?

From what you've pasted, it appears you have multiple copies of screen running.

You only need to run one copy of screen (i.e. only type the command screen once).  From within one instance of screen you can create multiple pages (for want of a better word), which you can then cycle around with ctrl+a [space]


i dont know. but i figured it out how to get it to work:D but, i have one more question. how do i access my mining rig with putty from another ip or computer (my brothers house in this case)? from my house i access ubuntu by typing the LAN adress (10.0.0.3) on putty. what about none local connection?

You need to login to your router and forward port 22, then grab your external ip from something like http://ipchicken.com and use that in putty when your not home.

Just download any distro, most of them have a run from CD option.

I had clearly given him the answer, why did you bump a old topic...

Lol, like you didn't bump an old thread either.

I replied like 3 minutes later so I didn't really bump it Tongue

Hi,

Are there sites that pay you for easy work with bitcoins? Like clicking banners, designing something in photoshop or stuff like this.

You'll be mining at ~470mh/s making 0.83btc a day (~$26 at time of writing)

How exactly does one receive that ~$26?  I know about mtgox and such, but without having btc, not sure if other people have sold and how they receive their money from it.

The exchange rate is 30.5$ per btc at the moment, so 0.83*30.5= ~$25.

--edit, oh sorry. um, you can use mtgox, another exchanger, private transaction over the forums or #bitcoin-otc.

You have to bear in mind the difficulty increase in a few days and also price of BTC may crash.

In about a week you mean.

1st card (Top) 73 celcius
2nd card (Middle) 87 celcius
3rd card (Bottom) 65 celcius

What the hell is going on? I get the 2nd card is in the middle and cant breathe, but i have 3x200MM fans blowing and the HAF case is made just for air flow, any ideas?

running 950/320 =\

I got my new 3x 5830 system up last night and ran into the same problem.

Can somebody suggest how to cool these?  Here's my setup




I added a 20-24'' box fan behind the setup but it didn't do much to help the temps.  One of the cards is around 65-70 and the other 2 are high 80's low 90's.

I'm also interested in how I should overclock all of them together.   

Thanks.

Yeah, rise the middle card, and buy a desk fan or something and point that at them.

Pooling.
To send, click send in the bitcoin client. To receive just give the other party your address.
Yes, but at the moment the rate is going up Smiley
872  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Is MtGox paying? on: June 09, 2011, 01:18:57 PM
MtGox had a day where 1 million USD worth of Bitcoins were sold, then a day where over 2 million USD worth of Bitcoins were sold. Do you think they would be able do that kind of volume if they were scamming people? Maybe, but they would have to be damn good at scamming.

There are delays, apparently they don't have enough manpower to keep up with the demand for Bitcoin.

Also, there are other ways to sell Bitcoins. MtGox is just one exchange.

My motherboard has 2 PCI E X16 Slots about 2 years ago. According to my vendor, he said that if i put in two Graphic cards, One will run at X16 and the other will run at x8.

Will this affect my mining speed.

Im planning to buy a new rig with the below motherboard and plan to put 4 Graphic cards on it. Is this suitable if i put 4 HD 5870.

You can run gpu's for mining at x1 if you want.
874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unlocking Shaders on a 6950... on: June 09, 2011, 11:43:02 AM
The highest entry in this table is 314 Mh/s without unlocking shaders.
Or am I wrong?  Undecided

Right, sorry. You might be able to overclock it and get it past 314 though.

Do you got 6950 with 1 or 2 GB RAM?
Can you tell us how many Mh/s this 6950 can do without unlocking the shaders?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

roughly ~420mh/s
877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Unlocking Shaders on a 6950... on: June 09, 2011, 10:58:17 AM
I got two 6950s and I was wondering if anyone has unlocked shaders and if it is possible to brick the cards? I'd rather not brick the cards since I just got them.

I've been browsing this guide. http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/159

And downloaded the TechPowerGPU program but the shaders section is grey'd out.

Any idea why that is?

Thanks,
Dd.

AFAIK, if you have a nonreference card, you can't unlock it.

And because it doesn't show the shaders I can't unlock it?

The shaders are what you unlock.
878  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining pools and bruteforce on: June 09, 2011, 10:04:49 AM
why are there so many conspiracy-theories going on with pooled mining....oh no, deepbit is getting too big and he will unleash mighty cthulhu to destroy us all....cmon guys seriously, i know you shouldn't trust everyone on the internet but this whole "pools are dangerous" thing is way overrated.

That has absolutely nothing todo with the OP's post.
Except for the mining pools part and the bruteforce available to deepbit part. That would be 100% of the OP's title btw.

OP, simple solution: prices will always change to match effort, and if nothing bad happens, it will cost less to produce bitcoin than to buy them.

I was just wondering if the pool owners could re-program their system so that the computing power can be used for bruteforcing?

Since difficulty constantly rises and pools control more computing power than ever before the BTC/computing power will go down and so will the $/computing power if exchange-rates stay the same or lowers.
I was just wondering if the pool owners could re-program their system so that the computing power can be used for bruteforcing?

If it was possible they could just pay off all the bruteforce computing-power with the equal amount of BTC/share without the miner knowing a thing.

So, could this lead to a scenario where it is possible to buy bruteforce computing-power?

No because it would require a change to the miners program.
