Yea, still working out a couple bugs.... we are still beta. Sad

No worries. Bugs are what beta is for. Best of luck fixing the problem!

they ost less than 50 bucks...

They'll do the job. Whether you like AMD or not, their CPUs are the best for mining, when CPU compute power is of no concern.

What is the cheapest cpu that goes in the 890FXA? I've never been really into amd.

Sempron 140 or 145, probably.

Stats? Gold? Items?

PM'd, don't want to pollute this thread.

Managing that individually would be a pain in the butt and I don't think any additions to the existing forum software would be worthwhile considering that's a feature already planned for the new code.

Let's just grin and bear it shall we?

As long as that's a sure thing for the new code, I'm content. Just expressing my opinion, nothing more.
966  Other / Meta / Re: Another Sub-Forum out of control - SPAM on: January 23, 2012, 04:10:26 AM
Its primary purpose was to be a place where people can't edit their posts. One thing I could see us doing is making a board to advertise auctions, and having the current board be the place for the "raw" individual auctions. But, I do not believe that this is yet a problem.

Fair enough. We certainly could have one thread per seller in the "Auction Advertising" forum and then one thread per item in the "Raw Auction" forum.
967  Other / Meta / Re: Another Sub-Forum out of control - SPAM on: January 23, 2012, 03:24:28 AM
True enough, but both of those solutions essentially result in the Auction sub-forum turning into a tiptopgem.com advertising forum. I'm not insomuch concerned about auctioneers not being able to have visible threads as a subsection of the forum turning into uni-company advertising. The auction subforum was intended for auctions; if auctioneers will gain little exposure there due to it being purely advertising for gems, it seems to have lost its function.
968  Other / Meta / Re: Another Sub-Forum out of control - SPAM on: January 23, 2012, 03:05:59 AM

To be honest, it makes more sense to just ignore limit the amount of open auctions you can have at any given time. Either that or start charging to list items.

I doubt charging would be well received or work; more likely we'd just see "variable-price/best offer sales" listed in the Marketplace. Limiting the amount of open auctions seems like it could easily be bypassed by creating multiple user accounts; though it would be easy to delete threads/users. Both options would require significant moderation, in any case.
969  Other / Meta / Re: Another Sub-Forum out of control - SPAM on: January 23, 2012, 02:58:36 AM

That doesn't even make any sense I'm afraid. Spam or otherwise, the auction sub-forum was set up to be item-specific. Unless that is changed, each thread should be for a specific item, not item's, as it could get very complicated very fast.

Hmm. I can understand how that would be a problem, guess that idea won't work. Looking on the subforum right now, ~75% of the auctions are gem-related. Could we create a sub-subforum for just those?
970  Other / Meta / Re: Another Sub-Forum out of control - SPAM on: January 23, 2012, 02:46:55 AM
That wasn't even the point.

The SPAM is the 50-odd posts by the same user for the same or atleast similar crap.

He should list it all in a single thread, AS WHAT THE GAMBLING FORUM WAS FORCED TO DO.

I agree. He can have one thread for all his sales; taking half the threads in the Auction subforum is ridiculous.

I'll take it off your hands haha

I'd gladly sell it...
972  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: WTS Runescape? on: January 23, 2012, 01:26:40 AM
I tried to sell an decent RS account for BTC a few months ago to no avail. Good luck, but don't get your hopes up.
973  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Big fluctuations in total network hashing power on: January 22, 2012, 11:25:13 PM
maybe some people are testing their new Ghash/s FPGAs or pools being DDoSed

ABCPool was DDOS'd a few days ago, that probably had a small effect. Mostly it's just fluctuation though - network hashrate estimates are based on the number of blocks found in a certain time period, which varies based on luck. (or pseudo-luck)

I'm using BAMT 0.4b, is that what you meant by fixes?

No.  There are about a dozen bugfixes and new feature packages you are missing, including the bugfix that will almost certainly solve your problem.

As root, run:

/opt/bamt/fixer

more details here = http://aaronwolfe.com/bamt/download.html


Ah, I see. Thanks, will try.

Slight bump on my earlier question. 3 of my 5 cards (5870s) are mining at only about 50% load in BAMT. CPU usage shows 1 core maxed, the other unused. (C2D E8500) All GPUs have been tested and work @ 100% load with Ubuntu 11.04/Phoenix/phatk2. Seems to me like BAMT is only using one core of the CPU - how do I configure it to use both? (I looked on the wiki & searched the forums, both returned nothing)

did you apply all the fixes?  Non-updated BAMT machines can have a bug where xscreensaver kicks in and steals your hash power.   Sounds sort of like this is what you have going on.

CPU use should be 0, or nearly 0, all the time.  If it is maxed, Bad Things are happening.
It's probably only maxing one core because only one process is going nuts.

If you did update already, try running top.  What does it say is using all your CPU time?

I somewhat disagree. The more powerful the Bitcoin network, the more resilient it is to attack. I value Bitcoin more if it is more difficult to attack. If other people share that opinion, voila. If only you and I were mining on our pentium III cpus, I might be a little nervous to invest more than oh say... $3.  Cheesy

True enough, but above a certain point it makes less difference. My point is more that when the Bitcoin network is large enough, as it is now, putting $10k into BOINC will do more for the world than $10k into Bitcoin. (Though it won't do more for your pocketbook!)
977  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: VirtualMiner.eu - Game Running! on: January 22, 2012, 05:53:23 PM
Down for me too.
978  Other / Off-topic / Re: Distributed Computing; What if? on: January 22, 2012, 05:58:14 AM
Larger problems than providing the world with a decentralized digital currency?

Seems pretty important to me, though albeit, Bitcoin does not necessarily gain value by more computing power being put on the network, coin prices are not equivalent to mining costs, at least right now.

Oh great. Now you can see the grabber arm on the wall. Thanks a lot for pointing that out, Bruno.

Somebody put a fan on me. I'm gettin' hot. (Doc Watson quote for those who care)


Welcome back to RFA. You're clear for landing on runway FOLD.


I doubt Bernoulli anticipated that kind of mass.

Nine blown circuit breakers, eight buckets of gone-bad-blubber, seven fathoms of water, six 5770 GPUs, five double cheeseburgers, 4.5-billion-year-old-planet, 3.14159265 BTC registered in the Blockchain, two curious alpacas and one bent tuba.
