So that's where my couch ended up when I threw it out.

Hey Nythian, Where'd you get that graphic in your sig for BTCGuild?  I am mining in that pool, and would like it as well Smiley

I requested the payout a while ago, but I will check again in the morning.
263  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Deepbit offline... on: June 01, 2011, 03:56:06 AM
I sent a payment of 1.67 BTC to my wallet and only received partial credit for it.
When I go into my payment history, it shows that it was processed, but when I click on the date to see the blockexplorer data, it comes back as invalid. 
Tycho, should I send this transaction data to you?
264  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Deepbit offline... on: June 01, 2011, 02:57:02 AM
Hey Tycho,
Do you want to check mine out? for some reason my account page is showing my miners as inactive, even though they are getting work and hashing.
265  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Deepbit offline... on: June 01, 2011, 02:53:30 AM
I may have to rescind my statement. Something is going on.  My rig is still running and computing hashes without any problems.  I even restarted the miners just to be sure, but all of my stats on deepbit.net account page is showing them as dead and not receiving any shares.  
Looks like I am switching over to BTCGuild full time after this.
266  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Deepbit offline... on: June 01, 2011, 02:39:39 AM
Im still up here. Just checked all the workers on my rig and I am hashing as we speak.
267  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Radeon 5870 for $312 -- Need opinions please on: June 01, 2011, 02:21:16 AM
Thanks for all the advice everyone. I do have a Frys close by in Atlanta so I may give them a call and check.
The reason I was looking at the 5870 was I only have room for one more card in my current system.  I didnt want to sink another few hundred in building the base for another rig, so i figured I would just absorb the cost and throw in another card and maximize my current rig.

Power is not a concern since I will be mining from my office next week (power is included in the flat rate utilities payment).
268  Bitcoin / Mining / Radeon 5870 for $312 -- Need opinions please on: May 31, 2011, 09:28:48 PM
I am contemplating adding a new card into my rig.  Currently I have 3 Sapphire 5850's but I have room for one more.

I found this one for $312 bucks on Amazon:
http://amzn.to/iiOyyZ

I need some opinions from you guys on it.
Does anyone have experience with Visontek cards?  I have never heard of them, and this one appears to be a non-reference card.  How much overclocking will this sucker handle?

Windows 7 will run fine on 1GB of ram and a single core sempron.

I don't know enough about linux to answer your question regarding drivers, etc.  All I know is, many people are successfully mining in linux, and usually at slightly faster speeds than in Windows.

Mining on linux with ATI works fantastically.

I can concur with this statement. I am running 3 5850's in my rig. Running Ubuntu, and getting a solid 1 gigahash/sec with this setup, and its stable.  I am using the Antec 300 case and its a very good case with good ventilation. My 3 cards will stay around 60c in it. The most I have ever seen it get to is about 70c on one of the cards.  I have the GPU fans set to run at 80% and the 2 case fans are running at their highest speeds.

Oh, if you are going to use PCIe Extenders, you will need to modify the case a little.  I just riveted some 1/2" aluminum C-channel above the stock PCI card mounts.  This let me mount the PCI cards on the C-channel a little higher than normal and leave room for the PCIe extenders to plug in.  I have also been thinking of putting a 4th card in this rig using more C-channel to mount it in the void space above the northbridge Smiley

Have fun with the new rig!

GAH!!! Smiley
 I am down here as well, and I cant access my rig since I forgot to set the IP as static, and of course it grabs another one while I am here at work so the SSH I had setup in my firewall is no worky.   So I will be SOL until I get home to switch it over to my backup pool.

You're welcome Cool

Well, I personally use www.no-ip.com since dyndns.com left a bad taste several years back.   But dynamic DNS wont fix my problem.  Since this new ubuntu install is DHCP, everytime i reboot it, my freaking router assigns it a different IP.  I forgot to change it to static.  I have port forwarding setup on my router to forward a certain port to that specific IP for SSH.   If DHCP hands the machine a different IP, my port forwarding rules no worky.  lack of sleep and to many beers this weekend left my mind in a fog, and I didnt think to set ubuntus IP static. LOL.

273  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: HD5850 @ 340Mhash/s on: May 31, 2011, 02:14:48 AM
I was mining in windows at 950/350 and 1.2 volts using trixx.  I was getting about 350 - 375 Mh/s.

Now, I am running the miner in Ubuntu, but I can only overclock it to 900/1000 and cant adjust the voltages.  What are you guys using to adjust the clock past 900 and mem lower than 1000 and also adjust the voltages in Linux?
274  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [HowTo] Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop 32-bit mining install guide on: May 31, 2011, 12:36:29 AM
This worked for me!  Mining at full hasrates on t 5850's

I have a questions.  When we installed AMD Stream, did the commands actually install that in the home dir of the current user?
Quote
## Installing the AMD Stream 32-bit SDK (version 2.4)
cd ~
wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/APPSDK/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32.tgz
tar xvzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32.tgz
echo export AMDAPPSDKROOT=${HOME}/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/ >> ~/.bashrc
echo export AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=${HOME}/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx32/ >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}lib/x86:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
sudo tar xvfz $AMDAPPSDKROOT/icd-registration.tgz -C /

I am just a little confused at the tar locations and the exports I guess.

Thanks for the guide. Going to try this on a fresh install.

I ran those scripts on a 10.10 32 bit install and I am having problems across multiple GPUs.  I am running three Sapphire 5850's

When I run poclbm without any arguments it will list all of my GPUs as such:
Quote
   
      0   Cypress
      1   Cypress
      2   Cypress
      3   AMD Sempron(tm) 140 Process

So, i think great, its running! I then open a new terminal window and do the following:

Quote
./poclbm.py -d 0 --host=btcguild.com --port=8332 --user=MINER_gpu0 --pass=RPCPASS -v -w 128

It will fire up and run great, and give me decent hashrates since I have not overclocked them yet For example, I am getting about 250,000 Khash/s

So, I open up  second terminal window to get a miner running on the second GPU. I run the following in it:
Quote
./poclbm.py -d 1 --host=btcguild.com --port=8332 --user=MINER_gpu1 --pass=RPCPASS -v -w 128

It connects and works like normal, but the hashrate is off... it starts off slow, about 20,000 khash/sec, but then it will get to about 125,000 khash/sec.  Its also at this point that I notice the first miner I ran earlier is also dropping its hasrate to about the same.  Eventually both terminals will get to a point where their hasrates are equal and total up to about 250,000 Khash/sec...which is about what I get on one card!

So, I am thinking that both miners are computing on the same GPU regardless of which device I specifiy in the command.

What am I doing wrong?

Going to look into this one for myself.  I am having a problem mining from work Smiley  I have my own co-located server, but dont want to setup a pool on it.  I might could use this to connect my miners to my co-located server on a port that isnt blocked by our firewall, and then use my co-located server to connect to the pools.

Awesome!  I will go ahead and adjust my donation level accordingly in anticipation of when it goes live, I will be ready!

Great work on BTCGuild BTW!

This may have been asked and already answered, but does anyone know when the email alert feature will be enabled?

BTW, I am new to BTCGuild...and I love the account page so far!
