Yep, just finished adding all your requests/bug fixes with the exception the tool tips.  That's going to take a little more time.  Everything else should be set, though.

The my_shares link seems to be working for me, is it still not working for you?

The block found email and sms seems to still be spotty.  I can't quite figure out why it's only isolated to the block found messages... it's very strange.  I will keep investigating.

The my_shares link not working for me, I think it has something to do with logged in or not...

link:
https://eclipsemc.com/graphs/worker_shares_per_block.php?blocknum=224

when I click on this link, i end up at URI: https://eclipsemc.com/graphs/login.php

which is a 404 NOT FOUND
Not Found

The requested URL /graphs/login.php was not found on this server.

Oh sorry, BinaryMage, I meant to answer you:

No, there is no fee charged for the conversion.  It is done at the straight daily average or last trade (whichever is less) of NMC -> BTC with no fees applied.

Awesome! Thanks for clarifying.

[Inaba]

Yeah it had to do with being logged in.  It should be fixed, now.

It is.  Thank you very much.

I think there might be some confusion over payout lock and how it's displayed.  Some people think it's active when it's not.

If you see a link that says "Activate Payout Lock" then it's not active.  Once it's active, that link will be gone forever.  Once you activate payout lock, it can not be deactivated through any method available through the pool.  Right now, the only indication that payout lock is active is the fact that the link is gone. 

I think I will make a more prominent status indicator to show if payout lock is enabled or not.  Does anyone have suggestions on how to make it more clear?

What you just implemented, the green bar, seems quite sufficient to me.

[Inaba]

I have locked several account from payouts that are carrying a high balance.  I have no reason to think the accounts were compromised, but better safe than sorry.  Those few individuals that are affected will receive a message on their My Account page with instructions to contact me to remove the lock.  Only those people that did not have payout lock active and were carrying a high balance were flagged. (A total 6 people)

I like the statistics of your website, I have 2 suggestions:
1)in the "block stats" page, the totals row, an averaged total shares may be better than summary totals.
2)an average duration time could be insteresting.

I seem to be getting MANY get work failures or 'Pool 0 not providing work fast enough' as cgminer puts it. In fact 442 in about 8 hours
Connected to http://us.eclipsemc.com:9009, but also has problems with the default port.
What's up with that?

Other info: located in California. Had no problems with bitcoins.lc pool. Running at a whopping 150MH/s.

[Inaba]

I actually see that occasionally in cgminer as well but it seems to be isolated to cgminer as I don't see it in poclbm.  

Once I get a test version of PSJ up and running, I will be interested to see if the problem goes away or remains.  I'm thinking cgminer needs to start the request for work a little earlier - if it's waiting until it's completely out of work before requesting more, I'm not sure that's the best solution.

Omo - I will see what I can do about adding those features today or tomorrow!

[P_Shep]

I see, thanks

Try changing the extra queue items to 5 or more..helped me with the same error.  You may also have to lower the scan time if this causes rejects.

In a nutshell:  I decided to mine, spent many hours reading bitcointalk.org and elsewhere, built a 3x5970 rig, decided on cgminer, decided on Eclipse.  I've spent days trying to get cgminer to work on Ubuntu without success (that story is in the cgminer thread starting here), but based on preliminary trials (and some help from Inaba - thanks!) poclbm seems to work.  So I have vetted my hardware, or at least two GPU cores thereof, and I think either poclbm or Phoenix will be OK.

Now how do I get from here to a state where all six cores are running more-or-less without intervention?  Do I accept that it will be necessary to spend quite a while tuning clock and fan speeds while monitoring temperatures, and that this process will be fairly arduous?  That's the way it looks, but maybe that's because I'm ignorant about available tools.  On a related note, I'm considering switching from Ubuntu to Windows 7.

Any (good) advice welcome!

[jjiimm_64]

I would go with cgminer, it clocks and handles the fans all in one, while monitoring the temps.

The way I got cgminer to work was create a json config file with my params and that is the only argument I call cgminer with


./cgminer -c miner.emc.json


I have 4 rigs with 4X5970's.  I run them at 820/420.  (sometimes 800/420) intensity 7. here is the config file:

Code:

{
	"_comment1" : "Any long-format command line argument ",
	"_comment2" : "may be used in this JSON configuration file",

	"url" : "http://us.eclipsemc.com:8337",
	"user" : "username.miner4",
	"pass" : "password",
	"gpu-engine":	"820",
	"gpu-memclock":	"420",
	"auto-fan":	true,
	"intensity":	"7"

}

edit:  guess I forgot to mention i use linuxcoin on a thumb drive.  with a clean thumb drive you can download miner, download a json file, and start the miner with minutes, already has all the drivers loaded.

Ha welcome to bitcoin mining  .  I spent 2 months tweaking and testing software/hardware before any real success.  Innaba has a couple great linux guides, and Kano has a good guide on cgminer install but the quickest easiest solution I found is BAMT https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28967.0. As far as cgminer, the most stable setup I've found with my 5970 rig is 11.04 with catalyst 11.6 and cgminer 2.0.7 (using the 64-built.tar.bz2).  Everything else I've tried has not worked well.  I ended up wiping 2 rigs and doing a fresh install with no problems since.

Omo - I have made the changes you suggested.

./cgminer -c miner.emc.json

I've been starting it from a ssh session using a script that contains:

Code:

xhost + &> /dev/null
now="`date +%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M.%S`"
cd ~/miners/cgminer
DISPLAY=:0 cgminer -c cgminer.conf 2> logs/$now.log

The cgminer that I'm running is in a /bin that's on my PATH.  I don't see any significant difference from what you're doing. 

I have 4 rigs with 4X5970's.  I run them at 820/420.  (sometimes 800/420) intensity 7. here is the config file:

The second "pool" is bitcoind on my Mac.

In many days of trying, with cgminer 2.0.7 and 2.0.8, with Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, and 11.10 and Catalysts ranging from 11.6 to 11.12 and AMD SDKs from 2.4 to 2.6 I have never gotten cgminer to go more than a few seconds without hanging (best case) or freezing the entire system (worst case; so far, no smoke).

I've seen and used the guides.  I just tried 11.04 with Catalyst 11.6 and the pre-built cgminer 2.0.7, i.e., followed your suggestion, and had the same problem I've had with every other combo.

But thanks!  (no sarcasm, I do appreciate any attempt to help)  What I've found from all the good-intentioned advice to "run what I'm running" is that a lot of people run cgminer successfully, which was obvious anyway, and that I have some weird problem likely caused by a stupid error or omission on my part that prevents my running it.  So, no more (re)installing Ubuntu/Catalyst/SDK/cgminer versions; unless someone comes up with a specific thing to try based on a plausible rationale, I'm moving on to other mining software.  Since my technical curiosity is piqued, I'm putting investigating my problem with cgminer using GDB on my list of things to do, but it's not a high priority right now.

So ... after ignoring my suggestions for so long ... why not do what I said to start with
Install 11.04 and 2.4 - (as per my sig) - what I've been using since forever (July) and still running fine
... and again ... don't update anything.
It's worked with every version of cgminer since I started - 1.3.1 all the way up to 2.0.8
The only change required since then is also in my script at the end: the latest releases are compiled in 11.10 and there is a name change in one library in 11.10.

You might not have seen my subsequent post before you replied, but anyway, I tried 11.04 and 2.4 last night.  I guess I violated the advice "don't update anything" because I did update immediately after installing.
