Stick with me guys I am working alone and have other commitments etc Plus I'm trying to mine enough coins to pay for the URL

Please continue doing such a nice work, thanks for your effort (some btc on the way).

Thanks bud !! The next version is coming along nicely Very low ram usage and lots of features plus I'm now working on the mining GUI.

Pls don´t skip AMDOverdrivectl, very important tool.  ;-)

Linux noob here.

How do i run the miners?

[Internet151]

Is there any way to get DHCP enabled in the current USB version of linuxcoin? I'm completely new to linux and I have no idea what i'm doing here or how to get this working.

There#s plenty of posts explaining things here. I would suggest you choose a miner from /opt/miners and have a look at there thread here.

I'll put a little how to in a mo

Sorry if I missed something obvious, but does this require a 64-bit CPU?  The USB booter is telling me the kernel needs x86-64, while I have an i686 (P4 Northwood).

Yes sorry its 64bit only. I didn't think anyone would be running old machines like that anymore I could add a 32bit kernel if people required this ?

[Xymurgy]

I would love one.  I figured holding on to 10-year old hardware would eventually pay off, and I'm almost there!

Hello drgr33n,

This is really great stuff.  I installed it and got it running right away... I was generating bitcoins in about half an hour.  It was really easy.

I'm seeing a strange problem though: it seems like writes to my filesystem (on the USB stick) don't get committed.  For instance, I created script files to start off miner processes.  The files seem to have been written OK, but when I reboot the files are gone.

I tried running sync before rebooting but that didn't help.

My dongle doesn't have any kind of write-protect switch and writes just fine if I plug it into my windows box.

I'm not that much of a unix person... I'm probably doing something wrong being the nub I am.  If you have any ideas it might help.

This utility has been a huge help, getting 169 Mhash on my old 5770 with linuxcoin.  I'm looking forward to sending you a few days of BTC for the +Mhash/s your build will afford me once I can overclock my dedicated miner with your build. 

When is your next release?

Cheers,
nebiz

DHCP is enabled ? try using the wicd network mananager

start -> programs -> network -> monitoring -> WICD

then click the icon in the bottom right screen and connect.

excellent news !! The next release is in the oven and getting close Just polishing a few things. I was going to code a little GUI for mining but I think I'll just include a bash script for now. Still pretty simple just follow the instructions. Sort of got a logo and everything sorted !! In the process of buying the domains and we should have a wiki etc. I'll try and put as much as I can on there but would encourage users to sign up and add there own content.

I'm not going to put a timescale on things but I as things stand v0.2 is much better than v0.1 already so might just pack up and release what I've got for now to get you guys running with this while I take care of other things for a bit

[jasonk]

I got the USB version to work.

How to I begin pool mining deebpit using phoenix?

Where do I put the script, and what script do I use?  Have a 5830.

drgr33n, I'm wondering if you'd consider including the "phatk" phoenix kernel by default with the distro..here is the link:

http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7964.0

This kernel is optimized for 5870s and it add a nice bump in performance. Some linuxcoin users will definitely appreciate it if it was already found in the mining dir.

Just a suggestion..kind of one for lazy people :p but yeah none the less. Thanks!

The miners are included in /opt/miners

If you do a quick search on here you will find the command you need to issue to start mining.

Thanks for the suggestion this has already been added to v0.2

I have version v.01 up and running on 5 dedicated mining machines, I would love to give v.02 a try before I continue deploying.  I love the fact that I'm replacing expensive, noisy, electricity consuming hard drives with USB thumb drives and intend on converting my whole cluster over.

Time frame - are we talking days or weeks?

Nice I'm not going to put a timescale on things but very soon. It won't be the final version but its a improvement on the last version and makes things a lot easier for the average user.

May I create these ISO's into torrents and post them on the pirate bay so we have a quicker and more robust download?
If you are ok with it and don't mind, could you post a small description?

I was thinking about;

He hasn't released stable version so far. Its only in beta.

I for one would gladly seed this. But I think it's a good idea to wait until he releases a stable version before we mass propagate this via torrent.

Just my 2 bitcoins worth...
