I chmod

Code:

chmod +x LBC

and make LBC executable. But now new problem comes up:

Code:

JSON not found - installing it.
Loading internal null logger. Install Log::Log4perl for logging messages

But fail to install it.

Why?
[/quote]

sudo cpan install JSON

I install all of the requirements using cpan instead of the LBC binary. I feel like it's faster.

It's fail:

Welcome to JSON (v.4.01)
=============================

 ** BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY **

Since version 2.90, stringification (and string comparison) for
JSON::true and JSON::false has not been overloaded. It shouldn't
matter as long as you treat them as boolean values, but a code that
expects they are stringified as "true" or "false" doesn't work as
you have expected any more.

    if (JSON::true eq 'true') {  # now fails

    print "The result is 1 now."; # => The result is 1 now.

And now these boolean values don't inherit JSON::Boolean, either.
When you need to test a value is a JSON boolean value or not, use
JSON::is_bool function, instead of testing the value inherits
a particular boolean class or not.

When stopping LBC in terminal during sleep period, Ctrl+C gives me "stop gracefully by using ^e" or something like that, yet Ctrl+C still achieves my purpose and even says notifies host of not finishing homework or whatever which makes me feel better. Tried Ctrl+E didn't do anything.

Please help me gracefully exit the LBC when I desire.

Tbh the pool is renewing my interest in linux, however my knowledge of keyboard shortcuts and the finer details of the OS are eluding me, I just wanna get my CPU's down and dirty collidin-n-findin

Thanks,

Yeah, CTRL+E works it just takes a really long time to finally end.

It has to finish all the work on all the cores first and submit it.

Hello,

I have just installed on linux machine, works fine except that is not authorize my CPU.

My gpu is not supported or I have done something wrong?

You have to set a secret (Password) but you also might still have to be on the GPU list.

You will have to ask Rico.

If I recall correctly, the initial test only uses CPU.

Try running it for real and see if you get different results.

[stergos4]

If I recall correctly, the initial test only uses CPU.

Try running it for real and see if you get different results.

I see... I have test it the last 2 days but I'm not sure how better is running that before with only CPU.
While trying to run my machine at maximum power, I have notice that there are gpu options which I do not understand well how to use them.
I have 2 gpu on my machine, 1 intel and 1 nvidia.
This is the command I'm using right now:

Code:

./LBC -id username -s password --gpu -c 4 -t 600 -delay 180

I guess using the command above it's not using both gpu or maybe use intel which has less power than nvidia.

How to use both gpu? Or if I had to use only 1 gpu, then how to know is using the best which is nvidia?

*Also at manual it's says that e.g. -t 10 = 10 minutes, as far I test it -t 60 = 5 minutes, maybe is a bug?
Also try it with 1:0, it gives me the same results.
What I want is to give it a delay 3 minutes after 1 hour running.

Thanks again.

Intel is on-board and will get the same speed as CPU.

You can only really use the Nvidia card.

What happened to puzzle transaction #55? No trophy, no collision, just on to the next one?

Also if we are checking against bloom filter of known addresses with positive balances how are we specifically targeting any particular address ie any puzzle transaction at all? Is it the complexity of the private key that is supposedly wildly basic/uncomplex and therefore most likely to be the next find?

How often is directory.io updated? I still have some pages I'd like to check but I'm about ready for some new material

Just airing out my stupid for a little bit, thanks for the smax

The puzzle transaction transactions are a known quantity.  Each one uses one more bit in the private key.  Since LBC is sequentially searching the private key space they will eventually find each puzzle transaction as they search.  Finding each one is just a benchmark as LBC progresses through the private key space, that is all.  LBC is not looking for the puzzle transactions specifically.  It is just known that they will be found and approximately how long it will be till the next one is found.

directory.io is a joke.  It is not "updated" because it does not really exist in the sense of a database.  All it does is calculate the information on the fly.  When you enter a page number it just calculates all the information for that page at the time it presents the information to you.  There is no database.   But yes, you can enter a page number and it will calculate that page for you.

Thanks BurtW for the informative reply. So what happened to #55? I do get a kick out of directory.io
