I am a newbie to bitcoin, cannot get ANYTHING to mine on my archlinux box?

[betarepeating]

I'm running ArchLinux on an old acer aspire, and i'm trying to connect it to the DeepBit pool. Does anyone have any working implementations i could see? Honestly, any help or code you can throw at me would be appreciated. I've been tinkering with this for a few hours now and i'm at my wits end.

Code:

[ryan@acer1 ~]$ dmesg | grep CPU
SMP: Allowing 4 CPUs, 2 hotplug CPUs
setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:64 nr_cpumask_bits:64 nr_cpu_ids:4 nr_node_ids:1

[ryan@acer1 ~]$ cat /proc/version

some attempts:

Code:

[ryan@acer1 DiabloMiner]$ ./DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -u <redacted> -p <redacted> -o deepbit.net -r 8332 -g 5

(i'm not running X11. i get why this one failed.  can i run DiabloMiner without X11???)

(i was using the right password)

Code:

(then it does nothing)


thanks in advance.

I don't think so.  It depends on an OpenCL implementation, and IIRC you can't talk to the video card on Linux (currently) without going through X.

Try creating a miner account and see if that works instead of using your main account.

Also, you leaked your username and password in this post.  Change your password now.  Especially if your gmail account uses the same password, change it there too.  In other words, everywhere you have ever used this password, change it -- your password is now public knowledge.

Code:

[ryan@acer1 ~]$ bitcoind -gen -rpcconnect=deepbit.net -rpcport=8332 --rpcuser=<redacted> -rpcpassword=<redacted>
bitcoin server starting

(then it does nothing)

bitcoind is not a miner.  Well, with -gen it is, but it generates coins itself, not on a pool. Try "bitcoind getinfo" and you should see that the generate option is true.  Check "top" and you'll see it's using 100% of at least one CPU.

I edited betarepeating's post to remove the password.

Thank you.  Hopefully the user will still change their password.

Please PM me your login name so i can check it on my side.
Also, check if your e-mail is shown correctly on the site. Try changing worker password (not the main one) to something alphanumeric to see if the problem was there.
When you change your worker password, it will be shown to you on your worker list, so you can check it too.
