Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [3600 GH] BTC Guild - PPS, PPLNS with TxFees+Orphans, Stratum+Vardiff ASIC Ready

I've been using Stratum since I went back to mining for this pool, so far so good. However, there's something that has piqued my interest... with over 10k submitted and accepted shares, I see the rejected share column has Stale/Dupe/Other. In my case, the count is 20 / 0 / 3 which I suppose is rather decent. Now, what are these "Other" rejected shares? I skimmed over both threads and didn't really see the answer to this question, so it would be nice to know whether I should be concerned or not.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Problems compiling Bitcoin 0.4.0 in Windows 7 x64 (MinGW Environment)

Greetings once again. Yesterday I decided the pick the (somewhat daunting) task to compile Bitcoin from source. So, I grabbed my tools, downloaded all the dependencies with the versions indicated in the build-msw.txt file, used this thread as a reference for the trickier stuff (Only changing the versions for the dependencies where it was relevant), compiled them (Screw you, Boost) and then... nada. Here's the output: C:\bitcoin-bitcoin-f8937b2\src>mingw32-make bitcoin.exe bitcoind.exe -f makefile .mingw g++ -c -mthreads -O2 -w -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat -g -D__WXDEBUG__ -DWIN32 -D__WXMSW__ -D_WINDOWS -DNOPCH -DUSE_SSL -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -DSTATICLIB -DUS E_UPNP=0 -I"C:\boost-1.47.0-mgw" -I"C:\db-4.8.30.NC-mgw\build_unix" -I"C:\openss l-1.0.0d-mgw\include" -I"C:\wxWidgets-2.9.2-mgw\lib\gcc_lib\mswud" -I"C:\wxWidge ts-2.9.2-mgw\include" -I"C:\miniupnpc-1.6-mgw" -DGUI -o obj/crypter.o crypter.cp p In file included from headers.h:94:0, from crypter.cpp:9: util.h:582:16: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef void* pthread_t' c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/pthread.h:571:24: erro r: 'pthread_t' has a previous declaration as 'typedef struct ptw32_handle_t pthr ead_t' util.h: In function 'pthread_t CreateThread(void (*)(void*), void*, bool)': util.h:598:27: error: no matching function for call to 'ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_ha ndle_t(int)' c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/pthread.h:569:3: note: candidates are: ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_handle_t() c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/pthread.h:569:3: note: ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_handle_t(const ptw32_handle_t&) util.h:603:28: error: no matching function for call to 'ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_ha ndle_t(int)' c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/pthread.h:569:3: note: candidates are: ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_handle_t() c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.5.2/../../../../include/pthread.h:569:3: note: ptw32_handle_t::ptw32_handle_t(const ptw32_handle_t&) util.h:605:12: error: conversion from 'void*' to non-scalar type 'pthread_t' req uested util.h: In function 'bool AffinityBugWorkaround(void (*)(void*))': util.h:673:36: error: no match for 'operator!' in '!CreateThread(pfn, 0u, 0)' util.h:673:36: note: candidate is: operator!(bool) <built-in> mingw32-make: *** [obj/crypter.o] Error 1
C:\bitcoin-bitcoin-f8937b2\src> Also, here's my MinGW version info, provided by this batch file, in case it becomes relevant.

From the output, the first I thought about (Given the declaration conflict) was that the headers were being added in the wrong order, but I tinkered a bit with that, no dice. Any more ideas? Thanks in advance!

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Possible power issue when card is under stress... but where?
|
on: August 28, 2011, 04:46:35 PM

Greetings there, Bitcoiners. I'd like to kindly ask for any helpful input for some issues I've been having as of lately. Not too long ago, I upgraded my system, and replaced my battle-weary GeForce 9600GT with a spanking new Radeon HD 6850 (For motives unrelated to Bitcoin mining originally, though it does mine fairly well. ). For a while everything went perfectly, but starting about a week ago, I've noticed that after mining for a bit, the LCD screen would turn blurry, wobbly horizontally... it's rather hard to explain, but it's like horizontal lines were moving back and forth in the screen. As soon as I stop mining, the problem disappears. This doesn't just happens when mining- running FurMark for a while creates the same issue, though apart from this, I don't see any other noticeable artifacts, not the usual suspects at least. (Black squares, weird textures, polygons stretching freakishly, etc.) I can attach a screenshot of the screen while mining or running FurMark, but the wobbling is noticeably absent in any screen cap. I'm fairly certain it's a power issue, as it only happens when the card is under a lot of stress... but where? The PSU is new, and is rated at 800W which is certainly more than what I would need for that card. Also, checking the voltages in HWMonitor shows that +5V drops to 4.90 at worst, which I believe it is within a tolerable range. Could it be that I'm drawing too much power from the outlet and the monitor is the straw that breaks the camel's back? Has anyone experimented problems similar to these? Thanks in advance.

This looks very interesting. I was thinking about something similar over here, given the fact that I pay very little on electricity in general, so I could use the grid as I set up all the solar panels and start mining ASAP, but the aggressive difficulty increase took me by surprise, sadly, and I began to question the profitability of my little project. Doesn't help much that I wasn't an "early adopter", either. So I decided it was wise to back up. But if this does work, well, it'll be amazing.

Bit confused here as well. AFAIK, transactions fees can't be enforced no matter what (One is hardcoded in 0.3.22 if there are too many pending transactions, but the code could be modified to give it 0.3.20 behavior ), and I don't mind waiting a while for my BTC to arrive, but as I'm a small miner (0.05 BTC/day more or less with my puny 9600GT, but hey, nearly free electricity!), a TX fee of 0.01 would be a lot for me. I think this would be true for all small miners, or anyone who just wants to see his/her money quickly.
