Question here to Bitcoin Dev Team.. if this can be stabilized and shown not to affect the build capability on other OSes/build configs, would you consider merging into master at some point?  I'm pondering joining in here, but don't want to spend a lot of time on something that will ultimately always be a one-off.

I'd love some free NVC... 4MRwKRi4hBsG94WkQAwo6FtA9bCUJsDjaL

Thanks!

I've read a lot of complaints about Linux AMD drivers crashing, can anybody comment on that point?  Quite frankly, the Windows drivers crash too so it might be an empty comparison, just curious.

Thanks!

Just so you know, Quadros are performance tuned in a different direction, and none but the most current (Kepler) generation are likely to be as good as the gaming-class card for the same money.

Scam...

Interesting thought about the EMPs.. what if an EMP wiped out a significant portion of the wallets (and thus currency).  With a decent sized chunk, value probably further increases because of supply reduction, but if the chunk were huge, it might crash the currency because of a loss of liquidity.

This brings up an interesting point too, would there be value in a currency which required establishing ownership of coins every X days/months/years.  Think of it as a required proof-of-stake, where failure to prove actually means the coins are "reclaimed" by the network and the network parameters are rolled back an appropriate amount.  This could allow recovery of "lost" currency.  For instance, early in the Bitcoin lifespan, I created a wallet and mined a block or two (when they were still virtually worthless), but then lost my hard drive and forgot about BTC for quite some time.  It would be nice if those coins could be recovered and not lost forever...

Written like a true finance person.. interesting idea though, could you all see the Feds trying to blow it up?

The general consensus I believe is that you don't need a full-width PCI-Express bus to get the most out of the cards.  I know I've seen plenty of people running at x8 with no problem.  The only thing you've got to be concerned about is connectivity, you may need an x4 to x16 riser to allow them to connect.

Now that's forward thinking.. make sure you have a good backup

What kinds of errors are you getting?..

If you had one today, absolutely, the problem is if you bought one today you likely won't have it for 3-6 months and by that time the difficulty will adjust such that it might not pay off.  I'd suggest waiting until either Avalon or BFL gets mostly up to date on their shipments and reassess the situation then.

Congrats.. look forward to seeing you!

GPU mining is not particularly profitable at this point unfortunately, might be best to sit on the sidelines (or mine with existing hardware) until the "next gen" of ASICs come out and try to get in on those.

I think they've got serious throughput problems right now, it's difficult for them to keep up with the rapidly moving prices.

Got to get to 5 posts and then you'll be auto-promoted when the next cycle runs (typically every 15 minutes I believe)

I have had some take as much as 12-16 hours with very little explanation as to why.. if you still don't have it this time tomorrow, come back and let us know.

CUDA Optimization would be #1, followed by Stratum support then failover in my opinion.

By the way, this thing is rock-solid for me since the 4/6 update, been running non-stop with no crashes.

1024MB of RAM, and yes, using the 306.97 driver stack.  Windows 8 is the OS.
