Das Userinterface gefällt auch - perfekt auf die Kernfunktionen reduziert. Wenn der Handel dann noch problemlos funktioniert, löst das bittylicious spurlos ab.
Edit: Erster Handel ging auch in Minutenschnelle.

Would have loved to use the service, but Chrome showed a warning that the site may use oldish ssl security. So I ran a test, which scored an F, because the certificate is revoked? https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=indacoin.com

Maybe this should be cleared up first.

Created 10 gig ext4 partition & a 1 gig swap partition, ran linuxcoin installer, selected sda1, installed.

Tried to boot the hdd up and still received the following error.

Code:
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB!

error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod64_full'
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

No one else in this thread has ran into this problem?

I can calm your mind. I am running into the same problem with an ultrafresh USB-installation (using Unetbootin), following the apt-get install procedure and running the linuxcoin_install tool.
I will try the manual procedure now.

Edit: I see now, it is not the exact same problem. My error is:
Quote
error: file not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Edit: I used /dev/sda3 for linuxcoin. I purged my system (even sacrificing my dual-boot Windows) and created a partition for Linuxcoin on /dev/sda1, used linuxcoin_installer, rebooted and it worked. The manual method did cost me 2 hours again (chroot won't work) until I decided to send everything to hell I'd done before.

Cant be donde whiout increasing voltage, voltages cant be increased beyond bios limit in Linux, AMDOverdriveCtrl only allow voltages changes in bios limit (so nothing, as the limit is the stock voltage).

I just noticed that voltage adjustment with Sapphire 5850 Xtreme works. However, power consumption rises about 80 W/h, even with slightest changes, e.g. 1,088 V -> 1,094 V. Two of these cards are in my PC. Temperatures rise over 80 °C, too.
I use Catalyst 11.6 and SDK 2.4 with phoenix.

Is here any reason why Automatic profile mining 20 Mhash/sec more?
I have seen the explanation that multiple instances help fill in very small times where the CPU might be waiting for the GPU before sending it new work
I also thought this first. But in my case, hashrate with multiple instances varies a lot (from 820 up to 940). Rejections gather around 3.5%.
My system hangs some seconds between the hashrate-calculations. I think, the "plus" of hashing power comes from that time intervals get inaccurate if it comes to such a hang.
When I mine with only one instance per GPU, there are no hangs and hashrate is about 774 - 775 MHash/s. Rejections are about 1.4%. I think this is more accurate.

By the way, updating to 883 worked without problems. It also restarted itself. However, I had the strange effect that the control screen was r838 and the mining screen was stil 870 Smiley. Had to kill smartcoin (option 2) and restart it. Then both were 838.

Are you sure you completely exited (shut down) smartcoin, and not just detached?
Left it everytime with strg + a, "0" + "2" Enter.
No problem. Everything works fine with the freshly grabbed version (+ the "old" database from ~/.smartcoin) Smiley

Adjusting voltage with aticonfig for Sapphire 5850 Xtreme works, but!
by
BenD
on 09/07/2011, 00:12:33 UTC
Hi @ all.

I just noticed that adjusting the voltage of a Sapphire 5850 Xtreme seems to work correctly with aticonfig. This is what Windows-users without crossfire-bridge dream of.
How I noticed? I use a saved overdrive-profile
Code:


  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

and played with gpu and mem, because I don't like the GUI. The standard voltage in Performance Level 2 is 1088 (=1.088 V). When I have it like this, while mining, the rig will consume 454 W/h. With these settings, the 1st card gets 75.5 °C, the 2nd card gets 78°C.
Even the slightest change of the voltage, e.g. to 1094 will cause a heavy increase of consumed power: 515 W/h! Card temperatures rise to 78.5 °C and 83 °C.

Maybe someone is interested how this profile is executed. Save the profile as overdrive_settings.ovdr (or else). Create a bash-script named overdrive.sh and put in
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0.0
aticonfig --od-enable
AMDOverdriveCtrl -b -i 0 overdrive_settings.ovdr
AMDOverdriveCtrl -b -i 3 overdrive_settings.ovdr
And run a chmod +x overdrive.sh - voilá. This is not new, found it somewhere in the forum. Interface numbers may vary for you - to check, run export DISPLAY=:0.0 (or what is right for you) and AMDOverdriveCtrl. It will show you which adapters are active.

But I think this is the proof, that voltage adjust works in linux. However increasing consumed watts and heat a lot.

Btw. I am using Linuxcoin 0.2a at this time with smartcoin r370. Combined hashrate with the settings above is between 815 and 940 MHash/s. Average is 860 MHash/s. Just noticed this is wrong. Smartcoin added 2 miners per GPU, the hanging calculation stretched the measured time and so it showed more than it actually hashed at. Configured it correctly now, getting 782,5 MHash/s. Not fluctuating this much anymore. This is still very good at these clockings and stock voltage. Compare the Table.

Good luck.

I try to update from 362 to 370.
However I am stuck at the update breakpoint to 365. It says it will update to 365 now, succeeds, tells me to kill smartcoin and start it again. I will do, but printouts say it is still 362. When I start the update, it will again update from 362 to 365.

Edit: Just removed the whole directory and got it fresh from svn. I do not have to delete $HOME/.smartcoin/smartcoin.db?

Ok I went from 323 to 362 using the internal update function.
It definitely gave me an "ERROR" in capital letters, but it was so fast that I could not read the rest.
Afterwards, it asked if I want to take smartcoin.db and I answered tf, for getting your db.

Although I thought that it won't work anymore, it just works like a charm. And since the update I have a rejected of 0.00 %. This is weird. Normally, after starting smartcoin, I got ~12 % rejected, falling slowly to 3.25%.

ok, dann poste hier doch einfach mal deine zugangsdaten für dein onlinebanking. darf ja scheinbar jeder wissen.

Sag bloß, du hast auf der Webseite deiner Bank noch nie PIN und TAN eingegeben?
Quote from: Wikipedia
Im Gegensatz zu Angeboten Dritter ist giropay ein von Banken legitimiertes Verfahren. Der Käufer gibt seine persönlichen Bankdaten (PIN und TAN) ausschließlich auf den Seiten seiner Bank ein.
Klar, es gibt sicherere Verfahren als Onlinebanking über eine Website, aber irgendwo muss man dann einfach mal der Bequemlichkeit wegen Abstriche machen.
Die Verfahren für bequeme und für den Verkäufer sichere Zahlungsweisen sind da. Die Märkte müssen sie nur integrieren.

Edit: Falls die Antwort nur auf sofortüberweisung.de abzielte: dem stehe skeptischer gegenüber als GiroPay.

In der Marktübersicht sollten alle Angebote und Nachfragen auftauchen, damit man sich als Käufer/Verkäufer daran orientieren kann.
Wenn du gerade ein Ask für 5 BTC einstellst und 10 EUR angibst, und bisher waren alle Bids teurer als 10 EUR, dann sieht einer dein Ask, findet es gar nicht so übel, stellt ein Bid für 5 BTC für je 10 EUR ein und das System bringt euch zusammen.
Da werden sich sicher einige schon Automatismen geschrieben haben, um Marktveränderungen sofort geliefert zu bekommen. Vielleicht hattest du auch einfach nur Glück Smiley?

sofortüberweisung (.de) ist der sicherheitstechnische totalschaden. einfach irgendeinem unternehmen zugriff aufs eigene konto geben...oh weia!
Man muss ja nicht gleich alles in Grund und Boden reden. Das Prinzip ist schon in Ordnung. Von den Banken nicht nur geduldet, sondern akzeptiert wäre z.B. GiroPay. Das bieten aber nur wenige Banken an, z.B. die Postbank. Sowas fehlt einfach. Nicht zurückholbare Zahlungsmethoden, die nicht mit Sperren um sich schmeißen.
Paysafe Cards wären sicher auch eine geniale Möglichkeit.

Is it possible for me to sell BTC on Mtgox or Tradehill and then transfer the fund to my Dwolla account?
On MtGox you can withdraw to Dwolla. They charge a $0.25 fee for that.

Why don't you just sell them on mtgox.com or tradehill.com? On tradehill you may even do instant-sells (which costs some fees), which need no bids.
Don't use PayPal. Someone will buy your BTC and pay. You will send the BTC and he will reverse the PP-payment. For sure.

Mt. Gox needs to add security features.  Pins and two-factor authentication would be a good start.
This would be a very much appreciated feature. I like the idea of being asked for my PIN, which only may have 3 retries until the account gets blocked. Only question is, how do you reactivate the account if your email is compromised...

Phew.. normally I'd say I just registered for asking the owner of bitmarket.eu why the account-activation takes so long... but hey, now I'm finding me writing an introduction of myself Tongue.
Well I've heard of Bitcoins just right before the news boom, but wasn't fast enough to notice that they would be a nice trading toy.
Daily, I laugh at exchange sites claiming that they would support "hundreds" of payment methods - and you open their "Deposit Funds" menus and find "Oh dear, you cannot deposit funds in EUR, as we do not support it by now."... you click through the other currencies of the "hundreds" and read this at 50% of the pages... congratz, exchange sites.
Oh, I wanted to introduce myself and not blame the exchange sites... well, sry Smiley. I think you may draw some conclusions of what I've written, who I am and what I'm here for Smiley.
