We make a ton of other foods, like the trainwreck. That's a gyro where you get rid of the pita bread and replace it with a 10-piece bacon weave. We went through over 200 bacon weaves last year and ran out by Thursday! We'll need to do more prep work this year to handle the load. Tongue
Holy crap. Gyros are my favorite food, followed by bacon. This must taste like heaven!

Welp, my intestinal fortitude is insufficient to set up a running ecoinpool, even after an entire weekend blown on trying to make it work. I just realized (again) how much I loathe tracking down and compiling dependencies for linux programs, and then attempting to learn how to use a complex script-based language/config syntax for debugging. Ah well, if it were easy everyone would do it and that wouldn't be too good either.

If compiling linux libraries isn't your thing, maybe poolserverj would be a bit easier to setup.

http://poolserverj.org/
Last I heard, it was abandoned, or at least unmaintained. Also, eeew java. Grin
Nvm, it was just a bit of an exercise to see how easy it would be or whether I could do it, not anything that I needed for a project.

Sure, if p2pool could scale infinitely. But there are a few things that would have to be resolved before we could get that kind of scalability.

Huh? P2Pool would continue to work if one DeepBit-equivalent of miners joined. Variance would just go up. P2Pool adjusts the share difficulty to keep traffic/CPU usage constant.
Right, I should clarify: yes p2pool itself should be able to handle it, but I doubt many miners would remain when the difficulty is so high that they may or may not get in a share in each block. It would have a negative feedback kind of effect, I would think.
3425  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [360GH/s] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool on: April 22, 2012, 11:43:23 PM
I'd like to see your opinion of how p2pool would cope with DeepBit's hash rate ...

Average daily payout would be the same. Time to find shares would go up, and blocks found per day would also go up.

A slow 1 gh/s miner on p2pool gets a share on average every 45 minutes while p2pool finds a block every 4 hrs. Deepbit is 10 times the size of p2pool, so the 1 gh/s miner would get a share every 7.5 hrs and p2pool would find a block every 24 minutes. Large scale p2pool miners can adjust their share-rate, which will make shares easier for slow miners.
Sure, if p2pool could scale infinitely. But there are a few things that would have to be resolved before we could get that kind of scalability.
3426  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 79XX-coil whine. True or false? on: April 22, 2012, 11:41:54 PM
There are too many factors involved here. How loud the whine is, is relative, and also it greatly depends on the model of the video card. On a few of mine, it ranges from no noise at all, or barely audible. On others, there is obvious whine, to squealing. I also noticed that when the mining application stops, it also stops squealing.

Have you guys noticed any difference between miners? cgminer for one makes one of my 5870s whine quite audibly. phoenix not so much as a peep. There seems to be also a good 40w difference on power consumption. Yet the throughput seems largely unaffected. I run with water so not too much fan noise to cover the whine, but I bet one could hear this whine despite the fan noise of stock cooling!

So the real question is why don't the other cards whine? Does this have anything to do with too low voltage(11.6v measured from whining card's power cable connector)? Can my caps blow up?
Likely due to the quality of the inductors in use on the card, although they probably won't fail. As someone else mentioned, you could try dropping some superglue into any chokes that you find, to see if a slightly loose winding is resonating.

Thanks for that so far. Sorry I didn't see it earlier, it looks great though.

I would propose that the final mining code include the following features:

  • Have a shared communication bus for all miners (we can base this on Teknohog's code)
Could you clarify on this point? Is this bus used for on-board inter-chip communication only, or can it be used between multiple boards?

^ Nice!

After releasing there is an initial ipo creation fee of 8 btc I began looking into filing for legal non profit organization status for my corporation.

If I do so then investors will be happy to know I will follow up buy releasing an actual IPO on the New York Stock exchange.

I am currently looking to private investors to hopefully build revenue in order to impress upon the community the urgent need for quality representation and support for the Bitcoin and its respective enterprises.
What are your plans for dividends and such? Your contract has issues, not the least of which is spelling errors.
3432  Economy / Securities / Re: [MPEx] Looking for a marketmaker for a difficulty-based option. on: April 22, 2012, 01:15:40 PM
An option is a contract transferring the right (but not the obligation) of either buying or selling a specified underlying for a set period of time.

We've tried for about a month now to come up with a satisfactory statistical model that would allow automatic pricing of such an option (something similar to the BTC/USD options available) with limited to no success. Since there is a lot of demand from traders for something of this nature, and since we don't actually have the wherewithal to satisfy that demand, we're opening the books for one competent miner to fill in this role.

This position requires you quote prices for no less than 1k BTC worth of contracts at any given time. The prices are entirely up to you, but there must be bids and asks up for at least that amount. It's not yet decided if the option will be straight difficulty (something like O.DIFF.2MN for instance) or hash-based (something like O.HASH.1GH) for instance. The former would act like a straight forex option, taking the difficulty as the currency rate, the later would act like a commodities option, dealing in the present value of the specified number of hashes (not per second, mind). Alternatively there could be something share based, trading the present value of a "share" if that concept can be sufficiently standardised. All these are up for discussion with the eventual person selected.

In exchange you will receive significant credit support from MPEx, and for that reason only well known and well respected miners will be seriously considered. A strong OTC rating helps.

You can discuss this matter here or via pm, you can also email or make contact on IRC. Thanks for reading.


Hi,

I wanted to direct your attention to MPEx's call for a miner to MM a difficulty-based option. You can check out the details here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77675.0
Not only am I not interested in the slightest, I do not appreciate the unsolicited spam from you either.

Also anyone winning should relly point this to p2pool - 7,040,798 shares there would net you a LOT more than a few thousand BTC! Grin
Math fail, please try again later.
Please show me your calculation of how ~7 million shares mined on p2pool are worth less than 5000 BTC. Roll Eyes

A hint: shares on p2pool have a difficulty a few hundred times higher than "1"...
Oops I see what you are saying, but such a large scale operation would probably be using a proxy that provides diff 1 shares anyways. Also, 7,040,798 shares is a calculation based on diff 1 shares at current difficulty from 50Ghash/s for one week.

3435  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Best Mining OS on: April 22, 2012, 11:08:52 AM
I'm pretty sure windows is needed to overvolt 5970's. Unless you want to flash them. There is really no benefit to using another OS. Programs like logmein work fine for remote access to dedicated miners. New people should especially not waste time trying to learn how to set up BAMT. There is nothing to be gained from it, unless you don't know how to use windows either. You can buy refurbished hard drives on new egg for 20 bucks. In my experience usb drives fail a lot.
....Have you even tried to set it up before? Seriously, there is no linux knowledge needed, especially for v0.5. It's pretty much as simple as editing a config and poking the "GO" button. And if you backup your config, USB failures don't matter at all, just flash a new drive and drop in the old config. Also, USB drives rarely fail while they are running, and a normal rig will be running 24/7.

Certainly there is something to be gained from it; it comes with extensive monitoring and reporting capabilities built right in, and is more stable than Windows, leading to more hash in the long run. Seriously, get a clue before bashing something based on its OS.

So I decided to give this a shot, just for fun. I see in your examples that you are using ubuntu, is there any particular version and/or architecture that works best? Also, does anyone know how to properly set up a paravirtualized pygrub loader for an encrypted LVM on Citrix XenServer?

I usually use Centos for my work stuff, so if that would be compatible I would prefer that.

Are new invites still being sent out?  I signed up 2 months ago and haven't heard anything.

Same here. No reaction from the pirate since like a months regarding this topic.
This seems to be all-broken these days anyway, so there's probably no point in even waiting for an invite. Potential customers will probably have run away by the time they get this working right.

You don't know anyone who could set up a worker on their account for you just to do your testing?
I would have offered a while ago, if he didn't initially approach it as if it were fatally flawed from the start and badmouth it just because of a lack of invites. #gpumax on Freenode has the developers, and I'm sure if asked, 'most anyone would have offered some access to their account.
