1521  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04 Mining Guide / HOWTO on: July 16, 2011, 04:40:03 PM
Do you think Ubuntu 11.04 can destroy a flash drive because of too many reads/writes?

I was using 8GB Kingston DTIG3/8GB USB DataTraveller for like 2 weeks and then I needed to re-install Ubuntu, which led to more than 5 failed attempts with a different problem each time:
If it managed to install successfully I got Grub problems after a restart.
or overlapping patitions
or I had 2 Installer crashes almost at the end of the installation
and my last attempt to install was successful, but then the usual Grub problem and File system checking and fixing after restart

I'm just installing it again, but this time on an USB drive with a mini HDD inside, but I somehow feel that this one will fail too - how can I find what is the problem?
Yep, it failed again with Installer crashed.

Now I'll leave just one video card connected to the system, will reinsert the RAM module, will load Safe Defaults in the BIOS and try again. I can't think of anything else.

Please help.

2 - If I remove all cards from solving the block, then what happens to that block? Does someone else start working on it?

3 - Can I start a new block if I quit solving the one above? Can I get a new block if I decide to stop working for the previous one?

Miners are not looking for the same block in the way I think you think they are. There is no predetermined solution. They are all looking for the next block to add to the chain but miner A will find a solution for that next block which is different than the solution miner B finds, where miner A and B are operating different bitcoin nodes.

Does that help to answer your questions?

The way you explained it, it seems that you don't combine the total speed of each miner connected to the bitcoin application. So what you are saying is each miner is calculating alone/for itself and it doesn't matter what is your total hash rate from all machines, because they are not working in tandem.

Are you sure?

Thank you. I kind of missed the Downloads button  Roll Eyes
1524  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Alternate source for Python JSON-RPC? on: July 15, 2011, 07:00:50 PM
How do you download it?

I'm not a Linux guru, but can you do:

git clone https://github.com/bmjames/python-jsonrpc.git python-jsonrpc

or you wget it? But will wget download everything (files and folders):

wget https://github.com/bmjames/python-jsonrpc.git

Well in Step 1 you install the video drivers and in step 2 you do it again:

screen -S update sudo apt-get install fglrx vim openssh-server g++ libboost-all-dev subversion git-core python-numpy

Yes - http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7514.msg366311#msg366311

I can't guarantee if the link is clean, but hopefully it is.

In france I pay 0.09 € the kWh it is the standart price ^^

Very good price.

Here in London I pay 0.103p = 0.12 Euro.

Ok, you can download the file from my site: https://eclipsemc.com/files/python-jsonrpc.tar.gz

You can then untar it in your directory and continue on instead of the svn checkout.


Thanks you are a saviour  Wink

So I'm still trying to start the script via SSH and it does not work. I type:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
DISPLAY=:0 sudo ./startmining.sh /home/cyper/Autominer
or
sudo DISPLAY=:0 ./startmining.sh

All I get is this:

Uzza, two questions:

1.) what is "phatk imp"

2.) Surely you meant a 5870 instead of a 4870?  Either that or you must have four 4870's to hit 430 MH/s!

1 - Phatk Improved - it's what this topic is all about.
2 - Most probably he meant 5870  Wink

For me now works really good  Smiley.

I`ve a suggestion.

When change to 2nd pool, check status of pool 1 every 10 minutes and if its ok, put mining on 1st pool again.

Sometimes have connection problems and miner change pool and no back to pool 1, keep on pool 2.



It is only a good idea if the script can check the connection to Pool 1 without interrupting the mining process, because otherwise if Pool 1 still has connection issues then the script will disconnect from Pool 2 every 10 minutes to check Pool 1 = not very efficient.

Solo mining: you get 50 btc if you get lucky and hit the right solution to the block. You get nothing unless you get lucky.

I know that  Grin

Some hypothetical questions:

1 - What if I have 10 rigs with 4 cards each - if I point all 40 miners to my Bitcoin program will they all work towards the same block?
2 - If I remove all cards from solving the block, then what happens to that block? Does someone else start working on it?
3 - Can I start a new block if I quit solving the one above? Can I get a new block if I decide to stop working for the previous one?

1534  Bitcoin / Mining support / Shares and Solo Mining on: July 12, 2011, 10:04:15 PM
Probably a dumb question, but are there any shares involved when mining solo? I'm aware that you need to point the miner to the Bitcoin application which acts as a server but how does it work?

And also is there a formula to calculate shares from the speed in Mhash/s you have?

STOP FREAKING DREAMING.

* If you get an appartement with free electricity the landlord will NOT upgrade fuses for you.
* And the air conditioning is NOT prepared for "unilimited amounts of heat" either.

It simply does not work - mining rigs are extreme density, not even normal data centers can handle them.

1 - It's not an apartment and even if it was no fuses need to be upgraded. Here in the UK the standard socket is rated at 13Amps = 3100W and usually the circuits can handle at least 30Amps = 7200W and there is more than one circuit.
2 - Who said unlimited?
1537  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 1200W PSU on: July 12, 2011, 04:28:58 AM
Nice move. PSUs are even more efficient at 240V  Smiley
1538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Worlds First Bitcoin Tattoo on: July 12, 2011, 04:10:26 AM
$2850 isn't shit for a bitcoin tattoo on your pussy
even if btc grows to $1000 per this woman is still gonna be a whore

And then they wonder why people are racist. Because of life forms that exists such as the one above.
1539  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 1200W PSU on: July 12, 2011, 02:41:42 AM
You guys in the USA have pretty low rated installations. Here in the UK all household sockets are rated at 13Amps = 3100W so plenty of power for the rigs.

For example my flat has 3x 30Amps circuits for the power sockets and 2x 5Amps for the lightning.
1540  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Noise and Heat Levels with multiple systems on: July 12, 2011, 01:57:29 AM
I got the same idea, but still it is an inconvenience which I'm not happy to tolerate. And that doesn't solve the problem with the heat in the corridor, which will most probably be unbearable.

Btw I have a big business centre building nearby with AC offices to let and I was thinking of getting one only if I can get free electricity which will be awesome. Might have a hard time convincing them the rigs won't use a lot  Grin
