Bitcoin / Mining / Re: CGMiner Ubuntu 11.10 tutorial

If I try with this:
- Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits - Catalyst 11.12 - CGMiner 2.2.4 - binary distribution
SDK version? With new Catalyst 11.12, there is no need to SDK, because it is already there... You can check this by running: ldd ~/cgminer-2.2.4-x86_64-built/cgminer
All CGMiner dependencies was satisfied without installing any SDK, so, it is "works"... Best, Thiago

I have no idea. It simple does not work with Ubuntu 11.10.
I have the following setup which works PERFECTLY (for 10 mining rigs):
- Ubuntu 11.04 64 bits - Catalyst 11.6 - SDK v2.4 - CGMiner 2.2.4 - binary distribution
If I try with this:
- Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits - Catalyst 11.12 - CGMiner 2.2.4 - binary distribution
... it doesn't work at all.
I have a lots of problems with new setup, as follows:
1- CGMiner consumes +100% of CPU while mining at GPUs; 2- I need to use "GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1" as a workaround to the 100% CPU bug; 3- My mining rig with two 5970 doesn't work, even using GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1; 4- My mining rig with two 5870 doesn't work, even using GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1;
Using the option GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 make the system usable only when 1 5870 or 1 5850 is on board... It is useless for the rest...
I already try to compile Catalyst 11.6 @ Ubuntu 11.10 but the ATI/AMD kernel module does not compile under Linux 3.0.
Cheers! Thiago

I am so glad to see the Litecoin P2Pool grow (from 400kH to 3000kH!) that I'll donate extra 1000 LTCs on sunday (tomorrow)!!!!
Lets make Bitcoin P2Pool reaches 1THash!!!
P2Pool is the future of Bitcoin / Litecoin Mining!!
Enjoy!!
LTC is at 3620kHash/s now, holy fuck! I love that?!?! Maybe I have influenced a lot of people?! Hope so!! But I need more work because Bitcoin P2Pool doesn't grow as I expected...

I really do not understand why you think p2pool is the solution This idea not really made for huge mining power or at least as far as i know long from ready for handle such a thing For the miners who switch between pools its absolute a fail because it does not keep your mined shares.... My experience with this so called p2pool has been not very good and costly. The only solution is spread mining power over more pools, but as you can see people like the huge pools more then the smaller ones Smaller pools hardly get more hash power because people want a steady income. But its the chicken and the egg problem small pools can not produce steady income unless they get more miners todo so.
You don't understand why I choose to mine at a pool where I keep my vote, pay no fee, and do not have to trust in any individual other than myself? Plus it helps decentralization of the network! I doubt there is much I can say to convince you then, but here I go anyway. P2Pool can scale just fine. Once it gets to a point where the variance for P2Pool shares are too high for small miners, we can start a second P2Pool. There is also talk of small P2Pools that connect to larger P2Pools to address this, although I don't know how viable this is. You had a bad experience mining at P2Pool partially because it was still maturing, and partially due to a misunderstanding of how the shares work. Forrestv has been improving the software constantly since then, and the time frame for share decay has been increased. It's silly to blame the pool when you failed to read the manual. It was obvious from the first few pages of the thread that shares decayed. Why would one switch between pools? If all pools were hop proof, there would be no reason for anyone to switch. Your argument also applies to any pool that has share decay. Slush for example. You do understand these rules are put in place to deter hopping, which is harmful to the constant miners? PPS is great if you want to mine a few hours, but it doesn't make sense for continuous miners because of how much you less you earn over time. Unless you like earning less for your work. What you consider the "only solution" is a non-solution. People do not spread their mining power voluntarily. P2Pool isn't the "only" solution, but it is part of the solution. P2Pool has been growing steadily and I've been more than profitable there, earning more in the month after I joined than I did in the month previous at a traditional pool, even considering a few slight increases in difficulty. Of course, the extra subsidies that have been rolling in for over a month now have been a fantastic boost! You talk great Holliday! Plus, with P2Pool subsidy and its PPLNS scheme, maybe, the P2Pool can be as profitable as some 120% PPS schemes popping around... BTW, how much needs to be donated to P2Pool subsidy to make it a "+120% like"? Cheers! Thiago

Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Additional subsidy for P2Pool users: 1-3btc/day

And another .5 for 10 days to join coretechs if someone can tell me how to do it from a gui wallet.
You could trust my cron job to do it for you. It will send a fixed amount once per day at a random time to miners at p2pool. The amount is based on the balance at the following address: BTC ADDR REMOVED Any donations to this address will be sent to the p2pool minersThe job script is dynamic and sends a fixed amount based on the balance of the address in the wallet. 1-10 balance - 1 BTC per day 10-99 balance - 2 BTC per day 100-999 balance - 3 BTC per day etc. This should work for now. I can change the daily amount later if a lot of people start donating. I will fund it with the remaining 9 BTC of my pledge later this evening. If I decide to stop the job from running at any point, the remaining balance will be sent to all miners in the pool at that time. I just set this up to take care of my donations so I don't have to send them manually but I figured why not open it up to anyone else. (1/20/12): 9 BTC sent. You can track the deposits here ("Received"): http://blockexplorer.com/address/**BTC ADDR REMOVED** (1/21/12): had to do some wallet cleanup, address now shows correct balance of XX.XXX (XX BTC - X BTC & txn fees) (1/24/12): donation history updated, current balance is XX.XXXXYYYY (1/26/12): added some better logging that I will include in the donation history going forward (2/7/12): minor network issue last night prevented the donation from being sent, so two payments were sent this morning (2/8/12): made some changes to the script to adjust the timing intervals, additional payment sent yesterday Donation history --------------- ............. Hi coretechs! Can you share your "donation script" with us?! I want to setup the same scheme for the Litecoin P2Pool miners... Right now, I just put a cronjob to donate everyday the same amount, at the same time of day... But I would like to have the same behavior of your setup, I mean, send donations according to the balance, etc... Thanks! Thiago

I really do not understand why you think p2pool is the solution This idea not really made for huge mining power or at least as far as i know long from ready for handle such a thing. Of course it can and if it ever got too large it could be split into multiple p2pools. There is no reason that 100% of network "coudn't" run off p2pool. For the miners who switch between pools its absolute a fail because it does not keep your mined shares....
This is false. The p2pool client doesn't remember shares between restarts but you get paid off SUBMITTED shares. Once submitted you could stop mining and destroy your rig you will still get paid when next block is found (on any shares still in share chain). It is actually impossible to prevent payment for valid shares. My experience with this so called p2pool has been not very good and costly. Well based on the numerous false claims you made I think the issue lies with you and not p2pool. The only solution is spread mining power over more pools, but as you can see people like the huge pools more then the smaller ones Smaller pools hardly get more hash power because people want a steady income. But its the chicken and the egg problem small pools can not produce steady income unless they get more miners todo so.
So the solution is small pools but as you pointed out that won't happen so the solution is something which won't happen. +1 Everybody should move to P2Pool now. It is more than ready! I just point all my miners to my own P2Pool node... I am VERY happy with it. I am my pool operator. P2Pool is the BEST pool, for both Bitcoin and Litecoin. EclipseMC is the SECOND best pool... ^_^

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63365.0This is the last straw. He is coming here and spewing outright lies about a "competing" currency in order to prop up his repeated failing ventures. His spreading of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt damages Bitcoin and other projects, and is a blight on our community. Moderators, you should be well aware of CoinHunter/Realsolids reputation on here, and it's clear as day he is not acting in the best interests of the community. Please label him as a scammer, once and for all. His well documented price manipulation of his own currency should be reason enough. I vote to BAN CoinHunter/RealSolid for ever.

200 Litecoins / day seems to be very attractive, Litecoin P2Pool is now at 2000kH!
I guess a litecoin miner is already pretty familiar with git, command line mining and (light) risk taking, so trying p2pool isn't such a stretch. I expect that the majority of Bitcoin miners are "Click'n'Go" types, and p2pool is a whole new world for them! I'll try to provide a "Click'n'Go" version of P2Pool... ASAP!

Fellas,
I am monitoring the hashrate of both P2Pools, for Litecoin and for Bitcoin...
I wanna see those hashrates go up, up, UP!!
Come on!!
Cheers! Thiago
Litecoin P2Pool grow grom ~400kHash to 1000kHash!! iiiiihhihihihi! Tomorrow (2012/10/02) I'll start donations to Bitcoin/Litecoin P2Pool subsidy! 1.5 Bitcoins (3 donations of 0.50) / day (~15 days)! 200 Litecoins / day (30 days)! Lets reach 3000kHash!! 5000kHash!! Best! Thiago 200 Litecoins / day seems to be very attractive, Litecoin P2Pool is now at 2000kH! But, 1.5 Bitcoins / day does not have attracted too much new users to Bitcoin P2Pool... I would love to have ~10 Bitcoins / day to donate to Bitcoin P2Pool miners! Unfortunately I can't... Come on guys! P2Pool is the future of Bitcoin / Litecoin Mining!! The promotion is already running in automatic mode! So, 200 LTC and 1.5 BTC / day automatically donated to the miners! Cheers! Thiago
