Have you tried Cgminer or any other software, GUIminer is a nice way to get yourself into mining, but it's just that.
I wouldn't expect to handle or be a good choice for a multiple GPU setup.

This is pathetic. Really is... Another bitcoin forum - i get offered 20 BTC straight away without any low IQ morons being idiots.

Why didn't you accept that offer?

Good question. Sounds like a good offer. Also little tip, it helps if you don't insult people while in the process of a sale, even if they are just pitching in to annoy you. They are after all bumping your post for publicity.

Nefario, I did a quick search, but couldn't find this being suggested before, at least since you introduced the idea of the different markets, pink, blue and white (good idea btw). Gathered this should be a value of trust in these bonds.

Can we add another to the list that fills the criteria for ones that are rolling down their operation's or in fact dead or inactive?

For example, we have a lot bonds, that are directly linked to pirate investments (PPT). Contracts are broken, dividends aren't being paid out, buy backs can't or aren't occurring. It's an asset which shouldn't be traded by anyone and that should be made quiet clear with a separate group for them.

So another market then...black colour?

That would be a good choice. Thanks for taking my input on board Nafario.

Wouldn't be surprised they did this behind closed doors for decades, at least with it being in the open it be better right? /sarcasm
*bangs head*

If this goes through, surely it cause massive inflation, to the point the US dollar's value drops like a stone.
Maybe that is the plan; not a good one, but a plan none the less.

Same problem here, is there a faq to know whatevery thing means and what everything means on mining.bitcoin.cz  I left the computer on today with 110+ shares accepted, but when I came back it was stuck at only 8 shares accepted. What happened in the time i left and came back? What does all the things in My account mean? I am using GUIminer to mine into a pool.

Could you expand abit more.
Most likely it just started a new block at best guess.

However if you need an explaination of most of the terms.
The bitcoin wiki is a pretty good resource.

'Maybe' a small increase in ambient temperature?

Are you using the makomk bitstream and are any of your CM1 FPGAs generating over 0.5% Invalids?

For me, USB related problems went away when I stopped connecting a USB cable to a board which is generating 2.25% invalids. (By daisy chaining the boards and making the one with about 0.2% invalids the Master.) With this approach I've been operating four days continuously whereas before the reconfiguration I had two failures within 24 hrs.


Not using the makomk bitstream, I've used hashvoodoo one. Not sure it even makes a difference, before I put things in place to prevent power being a problem, it never mine. For reference I get approximately 0.01% invalids on his bitstream, it's pretty rare.



Must of missed that (or don't remember), I've just find it odd, what could of caused it to just start happening.
At least I know why now, I don't even know for sure if a new powered hub will help.

Lethos,

I don't think a powered hub can help you here since it is an OS/driver problem as far as I know.

I'm back to using ubuntu to prove it wasn't a software problem, using the same method I used in Debian.
I've always been cheap when it came to hubs, never seen their be much of a difference to them. Quiet different to how I am with PSU's ( always high end). So this time I'm getting a really good one, doesn't bother me even if I'm wrong I've not got a good 7 port usb hub, so even if it ends up not fixing it permanently it will find a use.

GUIminer is a nice place to get started, it is okay to use, but it's not all that fast or efficient in comparison to almost anything else.
Yes cgminer is faster, but it is a little more tricky to the non-techy to get working.

However if you only getting those hash rates you are would still need to be mining on some non-optiminal hardware.
So knowing your system specifications will help to know if it's even worth mining on it.
Nvidia Graphics card by chance?

However the reason for the entire system slowly crashing, while still kind of working, was the usb stick was becoming undetectable, either by becoming unmounted or ejected, as soon as any of the CM1's was connected via usb. I use a wireless mouse (usb bluetooth) and usb thumb drive since the beginning, it has always been that way, but this most recent problem only effect the thumb drive. I even tested if it temporarily effected the mouse and it did not.

Hi Lethos,

this is a problem which surfaced in the past, see old thread messages, where attaching a usb device sometimes makes a different one to disappear. If I'm not wrong this problem was on windows back then.

Anyway, good to know it happens on linux as well.

Ah USB problems.
Caused by casper (and /cow)
Read here if you are interested in the details of the problem and a suggested fixed set of scripts:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2012-May/013639.html

I believe that to be a different but similar problem. Not ruling it out of course.
The side affect is that the USB persistent filesystem regularly gets corrupted.
Without fixing the dismount on shutdown, and allowing fsck on boot, you can expect all sorts of large and small weird problems due to random file corruption...

True, it probably would, but the system doesn't (yet) suffer any bad issues from these resets, it operates fine now and has done so until the usb triggered it to drop the thumb drive. For now I have managed to avoid that occurring again.

I'm looking forward to try your next release. I hope you'll succeed in raising the clock while maintaining mining stability.

Yes, I just finished the smartxplorer run, and unfortunately it encountered some problems Sad

I'm tweaking some more settings now and re-running it. The new release works beautifully... But at it's current clock speed it's only about "equal" to the 175 release, so I wanted to push the clock higher before "releasing" it. I know this thing can get up to 180Mhz+ while meeting timing for a Spartan6 LX150 -2 speed grade chip. And that would mean with overclock, well over 200Mhz But I've got to find the "magic" combination of settings that will coax the bloody Xilinx toolchain to produce a working bitstream...

I'll post another update once I have it.

I'll be happy to test your next one Glasswalker. Smiley

I think I may have found a temporary fix to my problem ...
Congratulations.

Just in case someone else someday runs into the same or equivalent problem, and while it is still fresh in your mind, could you give a very short description of what you uncovered, please?

--

If you want to wait a few days for validation, that makes sense. However, I do suggest jotting notes down now. It is amazing how fast little details can fade from memory.

Probably best to wait a while to really confirm really what was causing it. Since I don't know for sure if my temporary fix or it's more permanent solution will work. So I don't know for sure the follow to be true.

However the reason for the entire system slowly crashing, while still kind of working, was the usb stick was becoming undetectable, either by becoming unmounted or ejected, as soon as any of the CM1's was connected via usb. I use a wireless mouse (usb bluetooth) and usb thumb drive since the beginning, it has always been that way, but this most recent problem only effect the thumb drive. I even tested if it temporarily effected the mouse and it did not.
Only programs which was entirely in memory continued to work, anything currently being access form the stick, disappeared. This lead to a slow but eventual system crash as more and more programs realised some quicker than others than it could not access it's files.

Debian has more system level and diagnostic programs installed by default that work entirely in memory, that were easy to find out how and what occurred and to get it working again. Btw I don't recommend ever yanking out a usb in mid-use, it's more obvious now how many orphaned files it has, while it didn't cause any permanent damage, I'd bet it would eventually.

While I've made only minor hardware changes since I got the system (Replacing a usb hub), nothing has changed recently, they did not coincide with the timing of this problem, it was a software change that allowed me to uncover this problem.
Getting a new powered usb hub. Gone through 2 since I got it, it also worked fine without them too for a while, connecting directly to the usb ports on the board, actually was most stable with it, surprisingly.
Hence while I'm uncertain if it will actually fix it, but I figured if the thumb drive could drop like that, only thing that could make it do that is a lack of power to maintain it, according to what little log info I have, it's not a software call or command that issued it.

I think I may have found a temporary fix to my problem and yes Debian did help alot in finding out what caused it.
Still be a few days before I'm sure if it is what was the problem.

Looks like a beautiful place in the mountains.
Good to hear more places accepting bitcoins, didn't expect you to get any reception up there.
I've always had trouble when skiing in some of the more tourist locations, let alone going off the beaten track.
