Dude, totally unrelated but:  I LOVE your profile pick.  Akuma is awesome.  Done...

I've been trying to run CGMiner for 3 days on my Miner.   I totally need help!  I am running Linux Mint (13) and keep running into the Segmentation error.  I've gone through all sorts of posts and forums and I just can't seem to solve the problem.  I'm brand new to the Linux OS and while it was love at first use,  I'm still lost in the sauce.  Can anyone help me!??!?   I will answer whatever questions I can but currently I am as noob as noob gets when it comes to Linux, however, I am familiar with CGMiner for Windows. 

Hey guys,  I'm currently running Linux Mint and have been struggling with CGMiner (note that it's CG and not BFG).  Reason I'm posting here:  Which one is better for mining.  Currently I'm using BFGminer to run my BFL Asic miner (running on a separate computer) and it's so similar to CGMiner that I kinda wanna try it.  I have 5 7970s and am using them to mine LTC.  Does anyone have a real answer (I don't care about your preference... not to sound rude or anything, I want to know which one is better)?

ASICMINER has 13.02 Th/s, the network hash rate is 138.989 Th/s,  that's just under 9.5%.  Where the hell did you get 25%?

This is why Marines point with a knife hand. Ooh Rah

The latest product they shipped was ordered 10 months ago.  I'm not the kind of guy that wants to blast people for a few mistakes, but this makes a lot more sense considering what I've already suggested in my initial post.

Simple mistake guy.

What are you talking about?
Whatever you say guy.
Correction to the post has been made. Thanks.

Is there a thread dedicated to this idea?  If so, please post a link.

I just want to throw it in there that BFL_Josh is completely unprofessional and a huge douche.  Sure, I believe they will ship, but his complete lack of professionalism irritates the crap out of me; BFL_Jody is much better but could still use some work in that department (however, I have noticed a big improvement in her professionalism over the last couple months).

So a buddy of mine have been talking about BFL and have come to an interesting agreement. (Note: I have one preordered and he preordered but took a refund within 45 days, to ensure his refund).

I'm sure most of the people on this forum have noticed the outstanding difficulty increase.  At first, I thought it was because Avalon put out their ASICs but the difficulty went up pretty drastically over the course of several weeks (about 3 mil every diff change) and seems to be averaging out at just under 20 mil.  I'm not a mathematician but this seems to be too big of an increase for just 300 60Gh/s ASICs.  

We came to agree that that BFL is actually producing the ASICs that they promised but are holding on to them and mining with them until it becomes more profitable to sell.  Once profitability per miner drops to a certain level, they will ship.  This makes more sense to me than anything else because I also noticed that NMC has been jumping in difficulty.  

Using just the 3 crypto-currencies that are on allchains.info, I assumed that BTC GPU miners would jump ship to LTC (because they're much more profitable than NMC and BTC, according to dustcoin.com).   While LTC difficulty has jumped up a good amount, NMC and BTC has jumped up a lot more (a 3mil+ projected difficulty increase for NMC and ~500k for BTC at the time of this post).  So LTC going up was expected, but what wasn't expected (in my opinion) was the massive increases for LTC and BTC (and who knows about the other SHA-256 based coins).  

Currently, only Jalapeños have been shipped, no singles or little singles and to my knowledge, no singles/little singles have been shipped to anyone for any kind of testing (as they did with the Jalapeños) one single HAS shipped, but it's the 50Gh/s one, not the 60Gh/s (which was the original hash rate). The Jalapeños they did ship are only from august 24th (according to the latest update from BFL_Jody on the BFL website).

So what does everyone think about this theory???  

Have you tried 12.6?   These cards shouldn't be xfired anyway.

I guess you can try Windows 8. Windows 8 (supposedly) allows for 5 GPUs without any special settings or drivers.  Wouldn't hurt to look into it.

Sheesh, strike a nerve? lol

Catalyst 12.6 will allow 5 GPU's.  I'm using it but the downside is that with 13.1 and 4 cards, I was getting ~755kH/s.  The downgrade to 12.6 dropped it to ~738 per card (could also be internet connection related but I'm not certain).

I understand that this board has enough PCIe slots, but I don't think it's a good idea to use that many 1x slots.   I don't know that much about this, but apparently you can fry the motherboard with too many cards.  16x provides more power than 1x (I assume).   You should look at this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-ga990fxaud5

That being said, it's your build to do with as you please. As for me, I'm looking into buying powered risers to be on the safer side.

It's 12.6

I would never do such a thing to a $420 card! Especially if I can by a $3 riser that does the same thing (without damaging the card).

Solved the problem.  Catalyst 12.6 did the trick.

Redo the settings I posted earlier, except this time (in the same window before you put in the command in command prompt) type this: setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100.   That might fix your problem.
