Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BAMT version 0.5 - Easy USB based mining Linux with farm wide management tools

on: March 18, 2012, 09:22:09 PM

Thanks for this, I was looking for a good alternative to linuxcoin since it hasn't been maintained. I have a problem with overclocking, however. If I use the bamt config file to overclock, the system locks up and I have to force it to shut down, then boot up bamt on a computer without ati cards to fix the config file. However, if I use ati config to overclock the cards manually, everything works fine. At the moment I have 2 5770 cards. When overclocking worked, I used these commands: Quote aticonfig --od-enable aticonfig --odsc=960,1200 --adapter=all when I used the bamt config file and it locked up, I used these settings: Quote card_0: ... core_0:960 core_1:960 core_2:960 mem_0:1200 mem_1:1200 mem_2:1200 ... card_1: ... core_0:960 core_1:960 core_2:960 mem_0:1200 mem_1:1200 mem_2:1200 ... I don't remember exactly what all the parameters are called but you get the point. What is the difference between how aticonfig sets up overclocking and how bamt sets up overclocking to cause this problem?

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Script to kill guiminer every hour, then restart it? [Linuxcoin]

on: September 04, 2011, 08:42:02 PM

Hi, I'm trying to create a script that will automatically kill guiminer once an hour, then restart it. When I was at home with my rig, everything worked perfectly. Now that I've moved to my dorm, it just stops mining after running for a few hours. When I check the console, there's no unusual events like failures. I figure the easiest way to solve the issue is to make the program restart once an hour. How do I get the pid of guiminer? when I try using the getpid command, it says "command not found". Also, what will the process name be for guiminer? just "guiminer"? I need to get the pid so I can run the kill command. Thanks for any help.

Bitcoin / Mining support / Will I need a larger power supply?

on: August 15, 2011, 08:38:14 AM

My current setup is 2x 5770s overlocked and 1xAMD Sempron 130, and I have a 530W 80+ certified PSU. I have space for 1 more GPU on my motherboard. When buying my components I followed a guide that suggested using the 530W PSU for 3 5770s, but I was thinking of getting a 5830 or 5850 instead for the 3rd GPU. How much more power, if any, would I need if I chose one of these cards instead of another 5770?

I tried adding DISPLAY=:0 where you suggested but the same thing is happening just so I'm clear, the file at /home/user/auto.h looks like this: Quote #!/bin/bash xhost + echo $DISPLAY > /home/user/.display lxterminal --command "/usr/local/bin/startminers.sh" and at /home/user/.config/autostart/auto.desktop, it looks like this: Quote [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=coin Exec=lxterminal --command "home/user/auto.sh" Terminal=true There needs to be a "/" before home Code: Exec=lxterminal --command "/home/user/auto.sh" And I'm assuming your "`auto.h`" is a typo and you really meant "`auto.sh`". Thanks a lot, it works now!

Other / Beginners & Help / Headless Linuxcoin script setup not working?

on: August 12, 2011, 09:05:51 PM

Hey everyone. So I just put together my first mining rig yesterday and mostly everything is going pretty smoothly the only thing left to do is properly configure my miner to run headlessly. I followed the guide here: http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Headless_Linuxcoin First I tried setting up the startminers.sh file exactly the first way specified, using ATIoverdriveCtrl. I followed the rest of the guide to the T. However, when I restarted my system, a blank terminal window popped up with just a white cursor block, then nothing happened. The blank terminal window just remained open. I tried making my own script using aticonfig and GUIMiner instead, but I'm having the same issue. my /home/user/auto.sh and /home/user/.config/autostart/auto.desktop files look exactly the same as they do in the tutorial. Here is what my custom /usr/local/bin/startminers.sh file looks like: Quote #!/bin/bash sudo aticonfig --od-enable sudo aticonfig --odsc="960,1200" --adapter=all sudo aticonfig --odcc --adapter=all gksu python /opt/miners/guiminer/guiminer.py Is there something I'm missing? Is there some other way to get my script to start after Linux boots?

Hey everyone. Before making an investment in a mining rig I want to make sure I can configure my normal computer to pool mine properly. I created an account and miner on BTCguild and bitclocker and have the same issue for both pools. the program seems to initially connect fine, and it's processing about 4 MHash/s, but the console says "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC 0 2" multiple times. My Mhash rate fluctuates minimally around 4, and this error just pops up over and over. I only saw a message that BTCguild accepted my share once, right after starting up GUIMiner, but I haven't seen that again. When I log into BTC guild I have 2 shares and on bitclockers I have 8, even though I only saw it accept once. The one time I saw it accept, when I checked BTC guild it said my speed was 4.77. Although it shows 2 shares now, my speed says 0.00. I've tried searching for this problem but the people I find with this error are trying to solo mine. here's my console log in GUIMiner: Quote 2011-08-08 18:31:17: Running command: poclbm.exe

running Windows 7 and has an NVIDIA GPU. I haven't done any particular configuration beyond setting up my accounts for those two pools, then running GUIMiner. I haven't set any extra flags either. -How do I fix this error? And If everything was working properly, how fast can I expect my shares accumulate at my speed of 4 MHash/s? I know it's not enough to really make any money, I just want to make sure I can easily get everything working before buying any components for a rig. EDIT: The program and website for BTC guild now say 2 more shares were accepted after letting GUIMiner run for a few minutes, though I don't see the accepts in my console. The BTC guild website says my speed is 9.5 now.
