I have 2 remote rigs that auto start, but I don't use auto.sh. I added mine.sh to startup programs in the GUI which looks like this: #!/bin/sh
screen -dmS miner ./CG This starts a detached screen session, miner, and runs the CG script: #!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
xhost +
now="`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`"
cd <cgminer dir>
./cgminer .... 2> run.$now.$$.log
The two scripts and xhost + were the only way I could get it to start and not seg fault when I connected. What is the best way to make this work without having to use the GUI and two scripts? |

What's the best way to add cgminer to BAMT? Do you have a .img file of it?
An .img would be bounty worthy. Some guys like me just can't get linux to work, a shared .img with cgminer installed should probably solve many problems. You really defeat the purpose of BAMT if you go through the work installing cgminer. Kano has instructions to install cgminer on a bootable USB - BTC cgminer on a bootable USB pendrive: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg426741#msg426741I'm not great with linux and for me this was much easier, and more stable, than installing on BAMT. The only thing missing is a mining startup script, which I'm sure many people here can help with. |

Is this or any FPGA board going to be usable to someone without an electrical engineering or computer science degree? Just reading FPGA threads makes my head hurt.

Anyone get an issue where cgminer hangs w/ 100% CPU usage in linuxcoin?
I have cgminer set to startup automtically (auto.sh). ~95% of time after power cycling a rig it starts up just fine but sometimes the following happens ...
cgminer starts
it begins processing some shares
the "display" never appears
I've seen this a few times on remote linuxcoin and ubuntu rigs. It's always turned out to be an issue with extenders for me, or at least replacing them seems to have fixed it. |

Got this today from my firewall when I started client 0.4.0 on OS X:
"Bitcoin wants to connect to store.esellerate.net on TCP port 443 (https) IP 209.87.181.216"
Is this normal? I haven't seen it before.

Is the donation % now taking from BTC and NMC? It would be nice to have a separate donation for each, or a NMC donation address for the pool.

I have a simple startup script to launch cgminer on restart (Ubuntu) and have 2>cglog.txt to generate a log. Of course it overwrites on every restart, which isn't exactly useful. Is there a way to make it change the name of the log on every restart so it doesn't overwrite?

Great guide, just like the last one, but I still wonder couldn't this be made much easier with cgminer? I just set up 2 rigs with a fresh install: update, upgrade, install a couple packages, wget ubuntu cgminer built.tar, untar and run - I added atitweak, screen, ssh, and a startup script and it still wasn't this lengthy. GPU control is easier that way also. The pool is great by the way and getting better, thanks for keeping up the improvements.

Is one server better than the other using cgminer on linux?
|

I think I mentally came up with 3.50. price per k/wh is only the base price, the elec company seams to have a plethora of other charges that get added in.
Yeah mine isn't really $.149, but that's what it averages with fees - granted some of those fees are fixed and would be paid with or without mining. |

If BTC are selling for MORE than $2.98 you should mine.
If BTC are selling for LESS than $2.98 you should buy.
Thanks, that makes sense. I was at the same number, just got it a different way and was unsure it was accurate. |

Current difficulty 7,255,634,282,020,860 hashes per block.
2MH/watt * 60 * 60 * 1000 = 7200000 MH / kWh
7,255,634,282,020,860 / ( 7200000 * 1000 * 1000 ) = 1007 kWh per block. 9 cents per kWh = $90.63 per block. $90.63 / 50 = ~$1.80 per coin.
So if I'm pulling ~1550 from the wall for rigs and cooling and getting ~3120 Mh/s, I'm at ~2MH/watt right? Why does your difficulty number have more commas than the national debt? At $0.149/kWh what price am I better off buying coins? |

However, for actually installing them - I'm not sure what the issue is.
Why can't you simply use apt-get?
As per my script, the system boots into X then I apt-get install the ATI driver then reboot into the new ATI driver.
I'm just not great with linux and I know Xubuntu + cgminer + catalyst11.6 works very well, and I know I screwed up a drive trying to uninstall 11.8 which wasn't working for me. I'll try apt-get and see how it turns out. Thanks |

I want to see 800 m/hash from a single card.....  Ahh aren't there several cards now that can get 800 m/hash? And at a much better cost than the latest high end card will be. |

nope...cgminer showed 150 as lowest so I set it at 150.

tell you the truth I have not taken the time to see actually how low I can go, but it will not do 300

Why so high on the memory? |

Thanks but that's all chinese to me. Is that how you install catalyst from apt? If so what catalyst version does it install? I'm going to be setting up another rig, and have previously manually installed 11.6 - which is a lot of work on a remote rig.

@kano What version does this intsall (from your script)? sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-dev |

If we were stealing your money and sending it to our members, that'd be more like communism/USA.
