No problem. I'll see if I can find some time to boot a linux live cd and play with it. Otherwise it's running a Windows build right now.

Cool! Did you ever figure out how to get midstate caching working with it? I thought th C7 were capable of it. I know the Nanos are, but I thought VIA had it somewhere on their site. I'll have to try a Windows build of it.

I can find the link and post it up again.

Edit: The link works again. Something changed on my host but is just fine now.

Problem for me is, I've got the hardware and software(got it to try this) but haven't been good enough with VHDL to figure out how to interface it between that and Bitcoin.

I'm all for it. As previously posted, I simply don't want it to be indexed by any search engines.

Oh, you mean something like a digital commodity that could be printed out and transferred just as easily in person as online? 

This is really cool! Nice video btw ;-)
Take the BTC as a tip.

As there has been a piece of this project missing since I ever came into it, I believe we have just found the problem for the solution that is Bitcoin.

Not an IF, but WHEN this technology is finally incorporated into smartphones, and whatever the next gen replacement device ends up being, it will start another revolution of the people through their tracking and buying power. Yes, it can be used against them just as all tracking is, but even more than that it can be used so completely decentralized that nothing could stop it beyond the entire ban of the spectrum it will use. Even if that ends up happening, there will certainly be enough Electrical Engineers and hardware Hackers out there who will move beyond the limitations set by the governments(s) in the ongoing pursuit of The Hacker Ethic.

It will be amazing to see what results when this technology comes to fruition. Think of the changes when people were given the ability to think for themselves and publish(think Bill of Rights for United States of America) and now apply that to economic policy. Freedom to create, save and spend as wanted without limitations set forth by processing entities. If the economic model that Bitcoin uses fails to succeed as we all hope and plan, then it is merely a chance to try something else. Still without a fake 'controlling entity' who merely upends the market and helps greed grow. This would enable not just a test of Bitcoin, but a test of the coming generations in freedom and liberty never seen before.

Edit: Fix some spelling errors to give clearer language and understanding. Add extra ideas. See original quoted post below:

IMHO, this would be a far better method of it than simply failing. Although, there should be some type of warning that it is failing over to CPU from GPU.

From what I've read, you can use the -emu to emulate GPU code on your CPU. No idea if that's it or it actually works but it's definitely worth a shot.

Oh, I completely understand wanting to understand your tools. I just felt because I am so used to working with the IDE and strapping it all together it would be easier for me to write on there to work on my linux and windows boxes.

BAHAHAHAHA!!! NICE! Might wanna get that checked out instead of silently failing or imploding ;-)

Heh, I'm in.

That's my input to the lottery, send 'em there! I'll send over 16 of mine too!

Are you planning on using an IDE? If so, what is it? I prefer Netbeans and have it set up and running on Fedora 13 64bit. It's a bit of a pain to get setup, but works quite well once you do have it done.

After a quick search this pops up and looks very promising for you:

I ran out of time this weekend to get any work done and fried my PSU last week due to overusage. New 850W will get to me tomorrow night. 

As of now, yes. It depends on how efficient we can implement the miner in the GPUs. If the entire control structure of the miner with the rest of the system in the cpu(ideally), then no you wouldn't. As of now, it will definitely impact how fast it is. This will take a bit to come to fruition, but when it does... dedicated systems would be quite easy to build.

I am also working on a version of the BitCoin CUDA Client and will do all that I can to help this project. It will be opensourced as well, for the same reasons nelisky stated. I will test this first version out on my GTX 460(borrowing from a friend  ) as soon as I can. Also, the pseudocode I've been writing up should be quite a bit faster than this currently is because it is incorporating FPGA styling and CUDA programming.

I should have something up of my code up after the weekend.

Anybody catch the new AMD Bulldozer press release? If I understand correctly, it should be capable of processing 8 64bit hashes, per core, at the same time. Would be quite a speed boost using this same code design.

Slashdot has the article.
PC Perspective has the details.

Was also covered by AnandTech back in November, 2009.

I've got the bitcoind binary, but not a GUI build.

Download 0.3.10 HERE!!

Yea, completely agree there. I've looked into it as well, lots might need to be changed.

This is actively being worked on. Not sure on timeline, but it is in the works to be sent out either with the program or as a standalone program.

Please excuse my dumb question, but what OS is running on this? There are many people who could compile a static binary if we have that information.

Okay, makes sense. I have an i7 930 I'll try and test out with too.
