Well... I can run CGMiner @ Ubuntu 11.10 with 3 5870 just fine. The GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 var is a requirement.
But, when I try the same setup at my 2 5970... It doesn't work.
Right now, I have one 5850 @ Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits, Catalyst 11.12 and CGMiner 2.1.2 working fine.
Anyway, why ckolivas make a cgminer binary for Ubuntu 11.10 if no one is able to run on it?!
Did't work w/five 5870s on a GA-EP45-UD3P for me, and I've read reports of other users having problems with multiple GPUs on it. Glad it worked for you though. |

If you bothered to read the actual indictment then you'd know that they did do things differently from other file-hosting sites. For a start, they paid users for uploading illegally obtained files and then charged other users for downloading them. They also knowingly and quite deliberately failed to comply with take-down requests (the emails show the extent to which this was intentional) by not actually removing content.
Kim Schmitz is a nasty piece of work who's been prosecuted in the past for credit card fraud, embezzlement and insider trading (to name a few). You're incredibly naive if you don't believe that he intentionally used the model he did so that users would be the ones at risk of prosecution and that the business itself could claim safe harbour. Fortunately, he's not as smart as he likes to think he is - he also recently lost a copyright infringement action brought by a porn distributor.
File-hosting sites will never gain legitimacy unless people like Kim Schmitz are prosecuted. He's not some kind of free speech champion - he'd have assumed the legal risk himself if he was instead of operating in a manner he thought made him immune to prosecution while transferring that risk to his users if he was. He's a scum-bag opportunist who has always sought to enrich himself at the expense of others and international conspiracy charges couldn't happen to someone more deserving.
I stand corrected. I read multiple news stories, but not the indictment itself. Thank you for that information! I agree, that sort of behavior discredits file-hosting sites and is immoral. |

Not because it's not in their own interests, but only because Amazon is an American corporation, and thus a creation of the state. The ire of government is likely the only thing that Amazon fears.
True indeed. |

Thank you for the excellent and speedy service. SSH'd in just perfectly.

Yes. I was replying to the fact that you said that board would do 4. I guess you mean 4 without extenders. it will do 3 with space between each card.. it is a good board.
Yes, I was referencing that it would do 4 in a std. case. (w/o extenders) I agree, extenders are a better idea, OP just stated std. case. |

Alright, ordered and paid. Looking forward to experimenting!

this one will do 5 cards. or even 6:  OP stated it would be put in a "standard tower", but yes, we agree on the motherboard. |

You might want to bet on this one8. So far bitcoin users don't look too convinced Amazon would embrace bitcoin any soon  Don't look too convinced? Amazon accepting Bitcoin by March is about as likely as Hollywood deciding to embrace piracy... |

I have considerable experience with GPU-based distributed computing, and you are correct, the Bitcoin network could multiply by an order of magnitude the TFLOPS in the BOINC network. The problem is (and the reason why BOINC, which has been around for ~10 yrs, is much smaller) is that BOINC doesn't make any money.

I always hated megaupload, but it sucks that its government action that took them down
Eh, they're just looking for someone to sue. I doubt MegaUpload did anything much different from the plethora of other similar file-hosting sites. |

I would not recommend 11.10, it has issues running more than one videocard.

Hey BinaryMage,
We dont offer any control panels out-of-box. If you wanted to pay for a cPanel license i'd be more than happy to install it for you. A license costs $15, thats the straight price, no markup from us.
RE: a 'newbie' OS... Well, cPanel only installs happily on a few OS's:
CentOS versions 4.x, 5.x, 6.x
Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® versions 4.x, 5.x, 6.x
FreeBSD®-RELEASE versions 7.3, 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 [4]
If you have any other questions feel free to mail me, james AT btcvps.net , just remove the spaces and AT = @
Cheers,
James @ BitVPS
No, I don't need a control panel, I'd rather learn to use the command line anyway. I'll probably go with FreeBSD; it has a good reputation and some decent tutorials. |

"As many PCIe slots as reasonable"
That's a little unclear. What do you mean by "reasonable", and are you willing to use PCI to PCIe extenders?

Following. I'm a newcomer to GLBSE; any advice/tips/tutorials?

Pending just means that the game has received your coin - yet the transaction wasnt confirmed 4 times.
Okay, thanks for clarification. |
|
|
|
an interesting idea would be to pay for the hash power - and then not use to reduce the difficulty of the next blocks
Interesting, but probably not profitable... |

Update: Deposit came in just fine. Guess the pending section doesn't work, or I misinterpreted its meaning...

Joined, deposited a tenth of a Bitcoin. What exactly does the "Deposits Pending" section mean? It's not showing anything for me...
