I tried running with 6 HD5870 on a single MB but I could only get 4 out of the 6 to work properly, XFX couldn't see any reason why but figured it was down to resource problems with the MB - I've since changed to use 3xHD5870 per MB.

What motherboard are you using?
For USB KEYS
if you have many rigs like more than 10 rig, you can use PXE to boot linuxcoin, save the cost of USB key
hard drive? memory?
USB = $1
Cheap Memory = $10.
You people are ridiculous.
case? operating system? fans? keyboard? mouse? printer? scanner? fax machine? 56k modem?!?
56k modem !
what decade are you in ?
Anyway, you don't need any of the items you listed, once you have your first machine, that is.
I have 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse, KVM, and 4 machines
3 are dedicated miners with bootable usb with Linuxcoin
Okay, okay, fans might be a good idea

3 x 5830 = $320
Motherboard = $100
Power Supply = $50
Processor = $30
Total = $500

Neither am I. I would have no clue where to begin. Designing your own circuit board is not that easy. I think for now I'll stick to "power hungry" 5870s and 5850s :p
My great hope is not for these low power gpus but for fpgas and ASICs.

Is there any ASICs designed for short fixed length SHA256?
Gigabyte GD70. get extender cable for 1 or 2 of the PCIe. and theres still PCI-E to spare if u have adapter.
something like this? how many graphic card does it support?
And what is extender cable or adapter?

I'd like to know where I can get a PSU that supports 3x5830 for $50.
what is a PSU?

It's just for fun, I believe it will be very slow
Anyone designed a asynchronous circuit (without clocking) which could calculate hash for fixed length input.
just for fun, the speed won't be high.

the bitcoin block header is 81 byte fixed length, so ....... a asynchronous circuit will be possible
and only 4 byte (32 bit) are input line, others could be a register which stores information other than nonce, and only updates after 4294967296 hashes.

You could do 6 cards by using PCI-E extenders. Just a warning though you run the risk of exploding the motherboard if you run 6 5870s, as the PCI-E bus still delivers power to cards despite having external power connectors. I don't know the exact numbers, the spec calls for 75W max, so say 40 * 6 = 240W running through the PCIE Bus.
Of note, a $200 motherboard that requires a $200+ CPU isn't necessarily that money saving. You can find cheap AMD AM3 boards with 5 PCI-slots (x1 works fine) for ~$120 with a $40 sempron that saves you > $250.
In fact you could get 2x $120 mobos + 2x $40 CPUs, have 10 slots for cards and still have spent less than you would have on LGA1366.

Anyone tried programming on that hardware?

P6T7 WS SuperComputer
http://www.algogo.com/store/products/ASUS-P6T7-WS-X58-ICH10R-nForce200-SUPERCOMPUTER-i7-DDR3-MOTHERBOARD.html
If install 6 -7 graphic card like 5870 / 5830 on 1 mother board ( with big fan cooling system )
Will it work?
Thanks

also ... don't have the mother board

Hi
Can anyone make a package with OPENCL & ATI/Nvidia graphic card driver and also motherboard chipset driver. on windows
The package could check what hardware user is using and choose proper driver to install ( like http://www.driver-soft.com/ )
And also like the drivergenius it could be a small version package without drivers, only with OPENCL library, which search driver from internet and download first. then install drivers and OPENCL.
Then make proper script execution (without voltage, clock adjustment; it's not safe should only be done manually) to adjust proper configurations to OS & miner to optimization mining. (may even start miner with different configuration to decide which is the best configuration for this machine)
Then after the installation package finish, you can just start a miner by double clicking the bat script ~~

The Bitcoin server, after deciding which transactions to include in the block, builds a Merkle tree of the transactions, probably using some standard library. The hash at the root is the merkle root.
Then after a transaction, the new merkle root generated and replace the old one
since the block header has changed, how can we verify the block?
Re: Can we use bitcoin wallet private key to sign human readable file?
openssl pkeyutl
You mean that other application could read the wallet.dat without decrypt by bitcoin client?
really surprise me.
Re: what is to be hashed in the bolck and where does they come from?

Quote
32 merkle_root char[32] The reference to a Merkle tree collection which is a hash of all transactions related to this block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~What's this? where does it come from?
That ones a bit confusing and has to do with verifying all the transactions in the block more efficiently. google "merkle tree".
When mining, how to fill this field?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_tree
Okay, how do we fill the tree leaves?
Transactions.
I don't understand the concept, we will have transactions after the block is found, right?
block is used for transactions.
What transaction do we have before the block found (while mining)?
Blocks contain transactions. The fact that a block contains them "verifies" them. A transaction is generated by someone saying "I want to send coins." Have a look at http://blockexplorer.com/, gives some pretty useful block data.
Thank you.
From following page, such as my understanding, when mining, the miner/client fills the Merkle with a algorithm result (like a several hash) of the creator's receiving address.
Is that true?
