I feel like total idiot... I have an identical set-up sitting on my bench in front of me except ASUS 270's instead of MSI 270's... and I cannot even get my cards to start...  Huh

EDIT - Did you flash the BIOS of your 270 ASUS... it would not let me update... the 270X's were as easy as you said.

I have Asus 270X TOP's which flashed just fine. From what I've read on some forums, the .exe file which force-flashes the cards should force-flash all 270 Asus models.

Don't feel like an idiot mate, I can't have my friends say that about themselves. These cards are tricky sometimes. I have rigs which work great, and I also have mystery rigs with ghosts in them. It's a matter of finding the right settings. I'm perplexed also, and am convinced it's something simple.

From what I can tell... BAMT seems to be refusing to write a .bin file...

OK... I managed to get the cards hashing at 2Kh/s by making a cgminer.sh file that I found on the internet... referred by the OP in the BMT thread... the cgminer.sh file deleted the .bin file... and started sgminer... but would not find my cgminer.conf file... and the .bin file it wrote has a different icon than the original .bins that came with BAMT.

As soon as I started to tuned the GPU's in cgminer/sgminer... the hardware errors went through the roof.

EDIT - Here may be something... I am getting an API fail whenever I run BAMT...

NOTICE TO JACKPOT SEEKERS:

After tearing my hair out trying to figure out why some people are not being included in the jackpot, I have stumbled across something in the MPOS code that explains it all:

Users who chose to be anonymous do not get recorded in the round tables with their user name, and therefore do not get tallied at the end of the week.

This means that you are being lumped in to a "anonymous" username count when I run my script to tally users.  It's not that you aren't being counted, but rather that you aren't being counted with your name.  There are a few possible ways to rectify this issue:

  • I maintain a separate, private round stats page for each round that uses modified code to display anonymous users to an outside, unauthenticated URL parsing script.  I don't see this happening without at least a weeks work to set up and test.  Possible downtime.
  • I implement an OAuth service so I can parse URL data as an authenticated user.  This would require heavy modification to the pool and to my code.  Maybe two weeks to research and implement the change.  Definite downtime.
  • Miners who want to be eligible for the jackpot do not mine on the pool as an anonymous user.  Immediate effect and change, requiring no coding or downtime.

Going forward, if you want to be eligible for the jackpot, you need to not be an anonymous user.  If you win the jackpot, your username and TXID info get posted anyway.

Problem finally solved.  This has been eating at me all week.  I don't know why I didn't think of this before.  I will update the jackpot rules accordingly.

Can you PM or email me your /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf file, as well as your /etc/bamt/bamt.conf file? You can remove worker username/passwords if you want.

A few misplaced commas can be quite troublesome... Lips sealed

The devil is in the details... and the devil has had me most of the day... still not getting more than 10Kh/s per GPU... but I am not getting the big red screen... baby steps... baby steps...

EDIT - spoke too soon... RED SCREEN

EDIT - Email incoming to Vesper... the success was a fluke...

They can indeed. NASA learned the hard way one time, lost an entire project due to a comma.

I'll see what I can arrange for a batch of dualminers. I'll start by offering readers of this thread to participate in a semi private group buy. Pay in bitcoin, order 300 or more units, shipped to me in the PH, coming from CN, then on to you guys. Those in the US may want to consolidate first to one person, then reship from there. Who's in? PM me, I won't post about this again. Hehehe. Power savings means a lot when you pay 0.35 per kwh.

A certain 24Kilo's rig is up and running, really nice hash for stock clocks too!



Now to see what we can do with it.

[02:05 US Eastern time]: Live from Sydney.. or.. through Sydney! Tuning progress (the text below, not the image above)

975 / 1400 = 422kh @ ~74*C
1050 / 1500 = 455kh @ ~75*C
1080 / 1500 = 467kh @ ~75*C
1120 / 1500 = 482kh @ ~76*C
1145 / 1500 = 492kh @ ~77*C

(temps are avg of all 3)

Tuning Complete:

Ok, vesper, I'll let you know when I get all the parts for my rig in. The only thing I'm missing are risers, so I'll get some from Taiwan. I made a downpayment at the store to reserve the last remaining 270 GPUs.

What PSU are you using? I find that if I overclock mine to that level I can get the hashrate described, but it's not stable. After about an hour or so BAMT cranks the CPU to 100% and everything freezes and I have to reboot. I'm only using a 750W PSU so I thought maybe the overclocking was drawing more power than I thought (I have 3 R9 270s), but if you're only drawing 620W from the wall, then maybe that's not the problem and maybe it's just an issue with BAMT.

Thoughts?

Heya, with the USB 3 style powered risers, the power for the card comes from the power supply directly, it does not ever pass through the motherboard? If so, then the comment about needing only enough power to run the motherboard is true? Then you can power the the motherboard (and cpu and ram, the system) with one power supply, and you can use a different power supply to power the risers and GPUs?

Also, that means any motherboard that has the number of pcie slots you need would, in theory, work. What's the consensus on the cheapest MB that has the most slots? Or what are the top 3 motherboards for 4 GPUs, 5 GPUs, 6 GPUs, and 7 GPUs? Are there MBs with 8 slots? 9 slots? Is that ASRock BTC motherboard any good since you are going to get powered risers anyway? (or maybe it's redundant, or maybe it keeps the system really stable.)

I could ask this in another thread, but I figure you guys would be better, hehe.

No power goes through the USB cable. The ASRock 970ex4, if you can find it, will do 5 GPU's. I'll post pics of mine sometime today.

You could probably run the riser power off another PSU easily.  Even something like a sub 500W PSU... at least in my mind I could see that happening.  But you have to think that powering the risers is the same as having them on the board.  The power draw is going to happen one way or another.  It's 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

The most PCIE slots you'll get on a traditional motherboard is 6.  This is a processor limitation.  I can't remember the thread, but I had posted it somewhere.  There was a really great discussion on some computer engineering forum, or something like that, about whether it was possible to have more than 6 on a board.  Now, if you went up to a server MB with dual CPU sockets, like the TIAN boards, you could go up to 12.  But the cost to do that is way more than going with 2 GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3(6 x PCIE) or ASUS M5A99FX PRO(5 x PCIE) MBs, both around $140 shipped Prime on Amazon.  I know you have different sources for goods, but the price should be close to that there as well.

The H81 board is slick in that it is really a bare bones mining board.  One particular feature I would want to test is the additional power input on the motherboard for the GPUs.  I'd love someone *cough cough Vesper* to grab one to test 6 cards sans powered risers.  I've seen them in the last few days on newegg and ebay for like $60.  You can buy them off members in the forums for like $170.  Culex has them for $100 if you could work out cheaper shipping.  But better resale value would go to the gigabyte or asus boards.

Alrighty folks, here's the info:

There were 397 total rounds for the week.  To be eligible for this jackpot, you would have needed to submit shares to 75% of those rounds, equaling 297 rounds.  There were 27 people who qualified for the jackpot.  Another record this week for miners who mined on the pool - 664!  The qualifying miners are as follows:

AFKMPEG
btab
caihuii
CrZnv

Orphans again this week, but the fix is on the horizon.  So...

This week's total fees and donations equal roughly 200TAG  Sad.  So half of that, the total jackpot purse, is 100TAG.

This week's winners are as follows:

1st place -  thunkit                 50TAG  - TXID 3a83c2340dcc4686a9ff092bb124b19e5b8a58815471be043bd275df0e46d323
2nd place - fiftycoin               30TAG  - TXID 7efd0a2d582c69a54122f08a1d3149711c3d8de42b229f2e60ad17d16d04dfc4

OH MAN... my 10 gigabyte 270s have changed to status "Shipping Now".  So it looks like Amazon's 2-4 week shipping estimate on these was about 10 days.

So stoked.  By midweek next week, I should be part of the 10MH+ club.

I'm coming for you Kilo and Vesper!

Babomancer, PM sent.



FYI...

It appears we're forking like crazy again.  I was told we were behind the curve this time, but it now appears that we are ahead of the other pools with a difficulty in the 20s.  Get some, ladies and gents!

Congrats! Glad to see you're lucky with that 2-4 estimate.. 45 days later and my toxic still hadn't shipped, so i cancelled the order. Then I remembered, days later, why I was holding off on cancelling it: I need another GPU lol..
