My 5970 + 5770 setup hasn't generated a block since the 2nd, so it isn't just you.

Man there must be some invisible wizard controlling this because I just generated a block...I guess if you complain enough on the forums the wizard grants you your wish!

Guys, it's not even the same profile, there are two Rosalinas. Check, for example, the post count. Either the first account was banned or someone is trying to double-scam.

Lol nice catch. The good ol' capital i instead of L trick.

profile id is different too. (hover over their name and look at the url)

You've already showed us your dishonesty (the photoshopped picture). Why should we trust you when you immediately break our trust from the get go?

I always fail to understand or remember what exactly is reddit  Sad



A democratically voted internet news website. Every article posted can either be upvoted or downvoted (a person has one vote per article). Every comment of each article can be upvoted or downvoted (only one per comment). So, the "best" articles are voted up on a list, same with comments.

I said there's a strong desire to reach usd parity, not to stay there forever. Yeah, I know we are from all over the world but reaching usd parity is just very news friendly, I'm pretty sure we won't be making any headlines when we reach the kuwaiti dinar. Also it sends the message to people on the fence that "bitcoin is serious business".

It would be cool to see a page with the world's major currencies (20 or so?) ranked against bitcoins. Most currencies will need to first convert to USD or EUR, and then convert to bitcoin. This would easily generate small and frequent news events internationally as it reaches parity with each currency one by one up the list.

If someone makes a functioning web site with this and posts the link to it on youtipit, I'll donate bitcoins. I'll tip 20 bitcoins to the first working implementation I see, another 10 to the second working implementation, and 5 bitcoins to the third working implementation.

Are you talking about this?: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

After looking at posts on Google as far back as 2008, someone said, "Plug in another monitor".  Not having another monitor, I plugged in my monitor to the 5870 instead.  Now, the 5870 GPU was the only core recognized by poblcm along with the CPU.  So I ran poblcm with a device=1 and it worked!  Then I unplugged the monitor from the 5870 and replugged it into the 5970.  Now, even though the 5870 was the disabled adapter again, poblcm was still running on the 5870.  Then I ran poblcm again on device=1 and device=0 and both of the 5970 cores were running alongside the 5870, for a total of about 875Mhash/sec.  Pretty good.  So that's just FYI for anyone running multiple 5870's, 5970's or combinations thereof.  I wish there was a way to get Catalyst Control Center, or ATI Stream, or whatever ATI driver it is to enumerate all three cores so I would not have to unplug and replug the monitor into different cards every time I want to run poblcm on the 5870 and 5970 at the same time.  I would suspect this would be a similar problem, and a similar solution, for running poblcm on  two 5970's on Windows.

I can confirm this trick works on my 5970 + 5770 setup. First start 2 poblcm instances for the 5970, then unplug monitor, plug into 5770, start instance of poblcm. 5970 + 5770 goodness! Smiley

I have only just skimmed through this thread so forgive me if this has been said, but I would like to add that if I underclock memory to its lowest clock (in MSI afterburner) it shaves off a few degrees of heat, without losing any hashes/second.
251  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: GPU to hash metrics on: January 20, 2011, 04:02:23 PM

If you plan to buy additional GPUs for mining, I would recommend 5870s rather than 5970s as these have a higher standard clock and more headroom for overclocking (assuming you have the motherboard slots for twice as many GPUs)



I believe this is false, the 5970 can clock just as high as 2 crossfired 5870s. It can also do this using less power.

So for ~$300 a month you get about double the hashes/s than a single 5970?

Everything is running great here except when I play a video my computer crashes.  I'm running a Radeon 6970 and as soon as I click on a video (youtube, etc) etc I get a hard lock.  If I turn off poclbm.exe no problems with the videos.  Has anyone had a similar experience?
Yes. On my old 5770 dual crossfire setup when I would have a flash video open (youtube, securitytube, I'm pretty sure anything with flash) I would just get a dip in M/hash/s by about 20M. Never had any lock ups.

Same deal with my 5970. It is a dual gpu card and only 1 gpu takes the performance hit by about the same amount in M/hash/s.

I have experienced some further oddities with the vectors option, since upgrading to a HD5770. The option seems to work, as in increasing the hash rate (as opposed to the slowdown on HD5570). However, the blocks found are invariably "invalid or stale". Without vectors the blocks are fine, at least on testnet.

As with the HD5570, going back to commit 99c57637ca0d1db70187 helps. The vectors option increases the rate, and blocks are OK. Unfortunately, this is somewhat slower than using the new version with vectors (about 156 vs. 164 Mhash/s) but I think I will choose the way that actually generates blocks Smiley The new version without vectors gives about 153 Mhash/s.

The system is a Gentoo Linux, kernel 2.6.36.2, with catalyst 10.11 drivers and SDK 2.2. The PCIe slots are only 1x wide, but this probably only affects performance.

Just thought I should add I am using two 5770s in crossfire. Both are overclocked to core @ 1020mhz / memory @ stock, volt @ 1.35 and are producing a total of 364 million hashes per second with vectors enabled. Everything is running fine with my setup. Blocks are accepted with no problems.

Win 7 64bit. latest catalyst drivers and latest stream sdk.

No, I am speaking of the ingame trade-able item that is called a Pilot's license. It is bought in the market and he notified me it is worth around 340 Million ISK.

lucky, could you actually buy gift cards or something like that and offer those instead?

You are right. 0.16 (bitcoin) per 1 million isk would be 0.16 * 340 which is 54.4.
259  Economy / Marketplace / Re: EVE Online in-game currency (ISK) on: January 02, 2011, 07:34:33 PM
Ok, so that would be around 200 BTC or 60 bucks. Definitely not worth it. xD Thanks anyways.

No, it would be ~48 BTC if I am not completely math deficient.

I have been waiting for a BTC -> ISK exchanger for awhile now.  Cheesy Do you do the reverse? (ISK to BTC?).

Heh, I wish, I'm totally broke in BTC!  This is my evil scheme to make a few BTC.

Once I have some BTC, I may start trading both ways.  I figure there's a number of EVE players in the Bitcoin community given the general economic-oriented mentality of the game.  Smiley

What kind of volume do you have in ISK? Billions?
