So..  he will get free electricity for at least a month and possibly more until your landlord goes through proper eviction procedure?
No, he have no way of finding how much KW i used.
So i get free electricity and pay a 10$ each month as a fine.

And no that won't change in the -near- future.

I rented a new place.
I pay only 10$ [in local currency] for electricity no matter how much kw's i use  Grin

I am thinking of creating a bitcoin farm  Roll Eyes

Start your farm, and see how long that lasts.

Just because they don't care if you run your stove 10 minutes or 20 minutes doesn't mean they don't care if you run a small server farm in the house.

You see, if you exclude things like server farms, electricity use CAN be guessed or estimated. Most people take a shower, make some breakfast, wash 1 weeks' worth of clothes each week, watch a few hours' TV, leave a PC on 24/7, etc.

But if you start a science lab in your basement, and run up a $500/month electric bill trying to re-create Frankenstein's monster, you can bet the landlord WILL notice.

I'm sure that the landlord's first $400 electric bill for your house will cause him to pay you a visit. He's not in the business of losing money.
No sir, here is the thing.
There is no KW-Meters thingy.
The 10$ [50 Egyptian pounds] is a fine for not installing one <= which is totally legal.
And i am fine with that fine Cheesy

OK I must be missing something.

OP has more than one pcie card and slots, correct? if so why cant you swap cards around, boot normally with a good card as display, and flash the dead one?
Yes sir, i have 6pci slots, and three pci cards.

I would swap cards around but for some reason if i have two cards windows/linux won't boot, it freezes on the logo/login screen, unless i booted in safe mode/graphics.
And i have the three cards in the mobo it doesn't boot, i don't get to see the boot/grub screen..

I have no idea why it's so fucked up.

I am sure at least one of the cards are fine but why i can't boot with one good, one bad in normal boot mode.

If you control those 8 nodes -or most of them- you can fake a transaction to your CLIENT.

But transactions are saved in the bitcoin block thingy so you can't fake that unless you can mine all the blocks consecutively.

I dunno, try it.

Thanks a million.
Gabi you are my hero!
51  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ok, i f***ed up my GPUs on: September 05, 2011, 08:53:20 AM




Ok i found it, thanks.
I ticked the first card (top one) and i still have it.. should i tick them all?
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ok, i f***ed up my GPUs on: September 05, 2011, 08:44:03 AM
I think you will need a non modified VGA as primary graphics adapter (a slow and cheap card like HD6450 will make it), then you should be able to boot into the operating systems.
I hope your MB supports multiple cards...
I got a Crosshair V Formula Republic of Gamers Series MotherBoard, it should hold 6 cards....

I have 3x6950, Should i try swapping places?

The 6900 cards should have 2 bios if i am right

Just move the switch and start the pc, the card will use the second and intact bios and boot...
Where is that switch? >_<

I got 6950 twin frozr III
53  Other / Beginners & Help / Ok, i f***ed up my GPUs on: September 05, 2011, 08:25:08 AM
I did this

Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Flashing Tools
http://downloads.guru3d.com/Radeon-HD-6950-to-HD-6970-Flashing-Tools-download-2658.html

And now i can't linux or windows, X freezes [[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop] and windows freezes at the windows logo.


Though i can run windows in safe mode, and i can run ubuntu in safe graphics mode.

I ran ati to flash it back, it did nothing.
And atiwinflash can't run in safemode........

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import BCDataStream
ds = BCDataStream.BCDataStream()
ds.map_file(open(r"C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\blk0001.dat", "rb"),
            169336263)
offset = ds.read_cursor
magic = ds.read_bytes(4)
print "at %d of %d: %s" % (offset, len(ds.input), repr(magic))
if magic[0] == chr(0):
    ds.read_cursor = offset
    while ds.read_cursor < len(ds.input):
        b = ds.read_bytes(1)[0]
        if b != chr(0):
            ds.read_cursor -= 1
            break
    if ds.read_cursor + 4 <= len(ds.input):
        magic = ds.read_bytes(4)
        print "at %d: %s" % (ds.read_cursor, repr(magic))
    else:
        print "%d near end %d" % (ds.read_cursor, len(ds.input))
It returned this.
