What are the differences between SMOS and Litecoin BAMT? I'm leaning towards BAMT since it seems more transparent and no hidden mining scripts. Are there any advantages worth going with SMOS? I'll be running 6 tri-x 290s.
Its all clean and transparent, if you want to read it, you have all on official web. Dont listening someone else... I guess we have different ideas of clean and transparent. If you had a blatantly obvious message at first boot that said something like, "hey, if you don't mind, I would like to add a script that will mine for 15 minutes every night. This will help me support development. Do you Accept? Yes or No?" Instead, you chose to leave any mention of that from your original post and point us to read about your scheme by digging through a lengthy paragraph in the donate section. You've been getting LOT's of negative feedback on this and still march to the same tune. As far as lack of transparency, where are the source files on github? Lastly, I need you or someone to give me some reasons to actually use this OS. What advantages do you you offer over Litecoin BAMT? |

Please add this feature  .. This would really make hosting remote rigs which do not have port forwarding much more self sufficient and hands off. |

Funny how this seems to be a huge headache for many BAMT and SMOS users yet it remains.. How can you promote a reliable system when Network Manager boots cgminer offline? The fix is here.. From Pitobread on Reddit.. "remove network manager apt-get install wicd
apt-get remove network-manager*That will most likely fix it. Network manager crashes and in turn crashes the computer" |

Hello. I installed it and have got some problems. After log in by remote desktop,screen is black,there are no IP adress,infos about GPU-s,SMOS-1 writing is miss and other things,as I say whole screen is black,when I log in to Web monitor,it looks as on screenshot - do not work,but cgminer working fine also I get shares on pool Web monitor,so all work great on this side. How fix this? I haven't got idea.Sorry for my enaglish best regards. http://conderus.starkom.eu/foto/ScreenShot006.png |

hi,
Does anyone else have this problem that SMOS kills cgminer ever ~24h because of smos running out of memory?(8Gb ram, 6GPUs)
Yes I know it changes server each night for the 15min donate mining but it doesn't crash cgminer.

When I added these two lines to my config,Web stats start work but still I have got black screen,but this is no problem. "api-listen" : true,
"kernel" : "scrypt",
How can I change password to remote desktop (smosuser),there are only explanation how change "donation" password. |

I want to weigh in about the donation. As someone who has spent time and money putting together a viable turnkey mining OS, 1% is a small fee and probably barely compensates the OP for his time. I would assume the OP has some experience with Debian to put this together, which is worth money in itself. The time spent weeding through good and bad information online, investing in hardware which is compatible with the OS (and doesn't have unexpected quirks!) and patching oddball problems that no one would ever even think about... For those unfamiliar with Linux and uncomfortable with compiling software and chasing down good drivers and SDKs, 1% is a small fee to save yourself the time and trouble. I would suggest the statement here: http://www.smos-linux.org/donate/ be posted in the original post, otherwise it can come as a surprise to some people, which hurts trust. If you don't want to donate 1%, use bamt. If Bamt doesn't work, spend the time trying to make it work if your time isn't worth 1% of your mining power. Disclaimer: I don't use SMOS and I don't intend to use it. I just sympathize with the OP, having spent the last 4 weeks working to get a stable Linux OS together. I would not share what I've learned for free. Doing so makes it easier for people who haven't devoted their lives to computing, not to mention lowers the value of my mining equipment (ultimately costing me money) as the network hash rate climbs ever faster. I've wondered why anyone would share something like BAMT or SMOS for free, given that doing so ultimately leads to more people mining, which ultimately leads to lowering the value of current mining equipment, leading me to believe there must be something else on the OS secretly taking at least a small cut of my mining. Had the OP not said anything (or admitted to it) most people probably wouldn't even know it was happening. In a few months, I will hopefully feel differently. Right now, I'm only concerned about whether my mining will cover the cost of my equipment or not. About the random eth0 disconnects, that is more likely a quirk between Debian and your network chipset. For me, dealing with these types of issues has caused me the most headache. Long story short, the easy solution is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033 -- this isn't the "cheapest" solution, but it is the easiest. You pay one way or another, either with time or money. SMOS is the easy solution. It's not the cheapest solution. |

after spending a lot of time to have trouble with litecoin bamt i started using smos and everything is fine.
for me it's okay to donate 1% but i also think it would be better to make it more transparent.
i'd like to know if the "donation-mining" starts at the same time everyday to know if there's a problem with my pool/rig or i'm just donating if my hashrate is broken.

Does SMOS 64 bit exist ? I wanted to install amdoverdrivectrl to undervolt GPU, but it available for 64bit only.
Now i got SMOS running fine with 2xR9 270 for 1 day. Only i don't understand why system does not load if Xserver disabled, what for you made this mandatory ? I have ssh + webcontrol, DM not needed absolutely.

Xserver is required for mining in Linux regardless if you want a GUI or not.
i've got 2x R9 270s running at 460KH/s each solidly on an AMD sempron 145 (64 bit). gimme a shout if you want a hand.
AMD Overdirve doesnt seem to work with our cards, but i've managed to undervolt using VBE7, but you can overclock using SG/CGminer settings.

There must be a backdoor or weakness in SMOS because my cgminer config got changed.... My Guess its the web part that has the weakness because my passwords was not changed and there was online change of cgminer config in syslog.

What logs are worth looking at to debug issues when mining? For example I had a problem with a miner I just put together. It was mining pretty well for about three days then I had to shutdown to reroute some power cables. When I booted back up two of my four GPUs weren't hashing at all and the other two were running at like 30%. In a situation like this where should I start debugging? I know my way around a command line but by no means a linux expert. Any general advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PC
