Can someone please guide me how to setup Phoenix miner with deepbit on this OS. Never used Linux before. 
It should be enough with just the commands and where too post them.

Thanks!

this is the command line you need :


cd /opt/miners/phoenix
./phoenix.py -u http://username:password@deepbit.net:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

Thank you, with that code running two instances on my 5970 I get about 610Mh/s, looking at the comparison chart I've tried some of the other combos but never get above 307Mh/s per core, I'm using this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131324 and linuxcoin, could anyone give me any pointers on how to get to the 800Mh/s range? Much appreciated thanks!

ps. (I also have to run it as python phoenix.py, using ./phoenix.py tells me permission denied, but I doubt this is affecting my hash rate)

Download phatk kernel and put it into kernels directory
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7964.0

To start mining type:
./phoenix.py -u http://username:password@deepbit.net:8332/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=13 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

You should also underclock Memory clock and overclock Core clock. For exact values you can play around or search on the mining board

Here are the commands I use to take the raw v.01 live image and have it start mining coins, I just put it together into one script and fire it off once the machine has booted and acquired a DHCP address.

# Start of script

# Changes computer name on network
hostname=miner-01

# OKs AMD agreement
tar xvfz /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/icd-registration.tgz -C /

# Sets keyboard to US layout
setxkbmap -layout us

# Launches miner processes
xterm/opt/miners/phoenix/python phoenix.py vectors bfi_int aggression=10 worksize=128 device=0 -u http://USER:PASS@SERVER:8332/

xterm/opt/miners/phoenix/python phoenix.py vectors bfi_int aggression=10 worksize=128 device=1 -u http://USER:PASS@SERVER:8332/

#End of script

Just a quick update on the current development status of linuxcoin. All the hardware support etc has been completed and tested to the best of my ability. Lack of hardware means I cannot test every situation for this reason Linuxcoin will still be released as alpha until you guys have tested and I have some feedback.

I can say that the next version of linuxcoin will be released by the weekend This release I'm hoping will cater for everyone and not just the mining community I want Linuxcoin to help everyone have access to the bitcoin network and bitcoins. Linuxcoin 0.2a has also been designed to enhance the security of your bitcoin wallet etc.

Lots of more features etc to be included in the final version

Stand by for more info !!!

[allinvain]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to this release. I hope you write an extensive changelog so we can see what has been changed/updated/upgraded

Here's a list of changes off the top of my head.

bug fixes
IceWM dropped for LXDE
pidgen dropped for instandbird
Skype
phoenix phatk kernel
autostart mining script
xchat
graphical changes
atioverdrvctl
now based on debian wheezy (with a few sid packages)

todo

Encrypted /home dir *

* still deciding to enforce encrypting the /home dir upon boot or to add instructions to the wiki ?
add support for nvidia cards
32bit version of linuxcoin

all crammed onto 680 MB !!

Please if you want to see something else included post / pm me now !!

Hi,
I've been playing around with LinuxCoin and think it's very cool. One thing I can't figure out is how to install atioverdrvctl. It gives me dependancies error. Could you maybe post few commands that I can use to install it, or is it more complicated than that and I'll have to wait for v0.2?

Code:

apt-get -f upgrade 

Should get you going but 0.2a is very close

Thanks man

Congrats for the distro, already tested for about 48hs on dual 6990's on a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D and a 1200w TR2 RX, and it's rock solid

I've been thoroughly beating my head against the wall about how to make this installation have persistent storage.

I'm trying to follow the instructions from http://www.infosecramblings.com/backtrack/backtrack-4-usbpersistent-changesnessus/#partition

I'm using a second Ubuntu 10.x system to set up the USB drive.

I can partition and format the USB drive OK, set up the two partitions.  When I do the rsync to install linuxcoin I get some errors.  After I use grub, the menu.lst file that's referred to doesn't exist (although there are some other .lst files there, but none that seem to resemble the instructions from that page).  When I try to boot the USB drive, after POST, the system BIOS says "This is not a bootable disk.  Please insert a bootable floppy..."

Has anyone gone through all this?

Good isht !! So it looks like the newer cards are loving LinuxCoin

Have you not set your fan speed ?? !! That sounds like your running way to hot !!

Code:

aticonfig --pplib-cmd="set fanspeed 0 85" --adapter=adapternumber

Hi,

I finally tried Linux and your ISO is the first.

Some things I found on this forum and tried which didn't work (and found no sollution for them):

Enable overclocking ..

Code:

aticonfig --enable-od

Result: aticonfig: unrecognized option ' --enable-od'
aticonfig: pairing the command line failed.
This should be:

Code:

aticonfig --od-enable

Code:

aticonfig --odsc 900,900 --adapter=youradapter

Works to set GPU to 900 and Mem to 900, but how to set mem to 300? When I try

Code:

aticonfig --odsc 900,300 --adapter=youradapter

it says that's not valid.

For mining, when I try

Code:

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
./phoenix.py -u http://username:password@deepbit.net:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

I get: ./phoenix.py permission denied

I read someone else got this error but I did not read how he got around it.
Any help?
