2121  Economy / Marketplace / I need 100-200 GPU 5xxx series {$500 bounty} on: April 25, 2012, 10:58:24 PM
Edit: We are still looking for a contact for bulk. Added 500$ bounty to the one who find the best deal. My partner is ready to go to China to meet the seller. I can travel to US/Canada if required.




The best price I found is on Alibaba.com but I'm afraid about counterfeited product.

Anyone could get me in touch with a trustworthy company?

The GPU will be shipped to Thailand so if the company is in Asia it's perfect!

See what I'm planing on doing now is just installing Ubuntu on a flash drive and the running like DiabloMiner or Phoenix or something easy like that. I feel like BAMT may be a good long term to thing to expiremtn with or maybe try if I get a second rig but I'll stick with something easy the first time unless there is some horrible reason I shouldn't (which if there is... please tell me!).  
BAMT is a Linux distro build with all drivers, customised kernel, remote access/monitoring tools and Phoenix. The only thing needed with BAMT is to edit 2 config file.

With Ubuntu you will need to find the good drivers, the good SDK and compile 2-3 things from source and then you might be ready to go.

BAMT is the most plug and play Linux distro available right now for miner.

lol that's exactly my story but 95% of the time it takes me no more than a couple days to figure it out.

The best place I found for answers is AskUbuntu.com

I started learning C++ and sometimes it's hard to compile from source found on the net. I'm still having issue between debug and release compilation in Windows.

I will buy a good book before learning bad pratice. I don't really care about attitude of some internet guy toward newbs. One thing I know is that I was not able to do any of this 7 months ago and it is getting easier with pratice.
2124  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Best Mining OS on: April 22, 2012, 08:05:47 PM
It's easier and faster to use BAMT than Windows unless you are scared using a keyboard to edit a config file.

Added Windows script to first post. It could be more pretty but it should work like that.

You are working too hard and taking up too many slots! How will you automate turning on your system?
You are at the beach checking out the opposite sex when your Bitcoin miner crashes and you are not there to choose from the menu because you are busy choosing from a different menu.  
No everything boot automatically. The only one difference is that I use 2X USB flash drive. I don't even have any monitor or keyboard attached to my rig.

But thank's for your post I will try your method too if it can save me 4$/rig  Grin

I'm planning out building mining rig and am considering an OS to install. I don't really have much experience with all of this so I was thinking I could just install Ubuntu on a usb drive and mine from that. I've read about LinuxCoin but it just seems to complex for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
LinuxCoin is outdated and unmanaged.

I vote for the BAMT.
2131  Bitcoin / Mining / Sound alarm script to monitor internet and BAMT miner connectivity status on: April 21, 2012, 04:25:04 PM
EDIT: Windows section added.


This is a script that will show/sound an alert if internet access or BAMT miner are unreachable.


Linux:

alarm.sh
Code:
#! /bin/bash

printf '\033]2;%s\007' "Network Monitor"

if curl --connect-timeout 30 --silent --head http://www.google.com/  |egrep "20[0-9] Found|30[0-9] Found" >/dev/null
then
echo Internet status: OK

else
printf '\033]2;%s\007' "**** ALERT ****"
echo Internet status: ERROR
mpg321 alarm.mp3 &> /dev/null
fi

if curl --connect-timeout 30 --silent --head http://BAMTworkerIP/  |egrep "20[0-9] OK|30[0-9] OK" >/dev/null  # *** Don't forget to edit http address ***
then
echo Miner status: OK

else
printf '\033]2;%s\007' "**** ALERT ****"
echo Miner status: ERROR
mpg321 alarm.mp3 &> /dev/null
fi

## You can add a worker by uncommenting this section
#
# if curl --connect-timeout 30 --silent --head http://BAMTworkerIP 2/  |egrep "20[0-9] OK|30[0-9] OK" >/dev/null
# then
# echo Miner 2 status: OK
#
# else
# printf '\033]2;%s\007' "**** ALERT ****"
# echo Miner 2 status: ERROR
# mpg321 alarm.mp3 &> /dev/null
# fi
##

sleep 60
clear
./alarm.sh

You need curl and mpg321:
Code:
sudo apt-get install curl mpg321

Optional: Put a sound file renamed to alarm.mp3 in the same folder to activate the audible alarm.









Windows:

alarm.bat
Code:
@echo off
cls
TITLE Network Monitor

ping -n 1 -w 30000 google.com >NULL  
if %errorlevel% == 0 echo Internet status: OK
if %errorlevel% == 1 echo Internet status: ERROR
if %errorlevel% == 1 TITLE *** ALERT ***
if %errorlevel% == 1 mpg123.exe alarm.mp3 2>NULL


REM *** IMPORTANT EDIT BAMTminerIP ***

ping -n 1 -w 30000 BAMTminerIP >NULL  
if %errorlevel% == 0 echo Miner status: OK
if %errorlevel% == 1 echo Miner status: ERROR
if %errorlevel% == 1 TITLE *** ALERT ***
if %errorlevel% == 1 mpg123.exe alarm.mp3 2>NULL

REM *** Remove "REM" from next section to add a worker ***

REM ping -n 1 -w 30000 BAMTminerIP2 >NULL  
REM if %errorlevel% == 0 echo Miner 2 status: OK
REM if %errorlevel% == 1 echo Miner 2 status: ERROR
REM if %errorlevel% == 1 TITLE *** ALERT ***
REM if %errorlevel% == 1 mpg123.exe alarm.mp3 2>NULL

ping 1.0.0.0 -n 1 -w 60000 >NULL
alarm.bat    

Optional: You need mpg123 if you want audible alarm.

Win32: http://www.mpg123.de/download/win32/
Win64: http://www.mpg123.de/download/win64/

I tested version 1.13.4-x86 on XP X86.

Extract mpg123 then add alarm.bat in the same folder as mpg123.exe. Rename a .mp3 sound file to alarm.mp3 and put it in the same folder.

Thank's a lot for your support. Like I said I tested a LOT of different settings but I will not post all of them.

I already OC that card before with CGminer way higher.

I cant be more gentle than trying to increase clock by 10MHz  Undecided

I will try to focus only on this card by disconnecting all the others one. Maybe it's a wiring problem.

This is not working either. I tried also commenting mem_speed_2 and lower OC.

Anyone succesfully OC a GigaByte 5850?  I tried to change my config file. Readed most of this thread and could not see a defenitive answers to the ADL_Overdrive5_ODPerformanceLevels_Set failed error code.

2138  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: BAMT version 0.5 - Easy USB based mining Linux with farm wide management tools on: April 20, 2012, 01:20:10 AM
I managed to overclock my 5870, 5830 and 5770 but the 5850 dont listen to me. It was working on Xubuntu with CGminer.

Here is the debug:
