Re: [ANN] sgminer - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner
by

This could have been in the underlying sgminer, but I was able to replicate a bug.

Segmentation Fault (hard process stop)
Debian Wheezy

This occurs when you attempt to start sgminer with pool-gpu-threads > 1, if there is not already a valid .bin for cklovias.cl

Fix: Start sgminer with pool-gpu-threads at 1 and allow the .bin files to be built, then restart with 2.


Discovered after cleaning up .bin files having tuned to gpu-threads 2 on scrypt-n

Edit: this is happening for each kernel in succession when i disable a pool, with other settings besides gpu-threads, such as intensity

Re: 【 BOT 】 C.A.T. Cryptsy Automatic Trader Official 1.1 (New Version 23/03/14)

Hey guys, been with this program for 4 versions now. I am making small amounts but still haven't paid it off, mostly because I lost money from my own mistakes.

There IS a learning curve. It does need to be checked on. This is not mining. This is not a good place to start if you have never traded before. You should go read babypips.com, all of it preferably, then maybe make a few trades before purchasing CAT.

That having been said CAT is a VERY stable program, never had one crash. Sampey has worked very hard when cryptsy changes API (breaking all bots) and usually I have a new version in my inbox by the time I check to see that the bot has stopped.


All in all I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend Smiley  If you're an experienced trader you'll likely do really well with it, I'm a total beginner and doing better already

Is anyone having issues compiling on linux?

Ran autogen, then configure --with-cuda=/opt/cuda-5.5

Breaks with this at the end:
Code:
checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes
checking for SSL_library_init in -lssl... yes
checking for EVP_DigestFinal_ex in -lcrypto... yes
./configure: line 6142: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 6142: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'

I thought maybe curl wasn't installed, and actually it wasn't, but after installing it I got the same error even after rebooting.

This is pulled from the git, with the latest release having been only 10 hours ago when I pulled it last night Smiley Went and checked around for any extra/unmatched ` , ; ' etc but didn't find any Sad  I am not really a bash scripter

This is debian wheezy 64bit by the way.

Re: 【 BOT 】 C.A.T. Cryptsy Automatic Trader 1 Copy@0.8 With Ref Code (New Version!!)

Can I suggest one thing too, for the markets window

Volume of the market on cryptsy can be very deceptive

.1BTC/day on BTC/LEAF would show up like 10000000 Volume where 42coin can do 1000BTC/day and show up like 10 volume (i did no math and made up numbers here), when you sort this LEAF will be on top of markets window (and is the same on cryptsy website  Sad why is this)

It would be nice if there was a column for volume in BTC, so to get an accurate picture of how much wealth is actually being traded Smiley maybe I am just new at trading but that seems more useful for finding opportunities for gains yes?

Of course I could do with a calculator I just want CAT to do the work for me  Grin

Will CAT do less quantity than the user set ping order? I would like to trade with a larger amount to get bigger gains but do not want to miss small trades.

The never/buy sell directly option would take off some small gain yes? but with the possibility of more trades because you will not wait for an order? or less trades because less opportunity to meet min%gain (narrower % diff in market)?


What do you mean by "do less quantity than the user set ping order"?
When you create a PING, cat will create the Ping Order and if there's a way to recreate in better position, CAT will recreate with the Same Total Amount but difference Price (so quantity will change).
When there's a Trade, Cat will create the Pong Order. If a Ping Order is filled with 5 trade, there will be 5 Pong.


I think I was misunderstanding how CAT made gains before  Cheesy  So basically it's always better to use larger amounts when possible (after testing! and being ok with exposure to market) with CAT unless the market is so small that your trades would cause market swings?  Grin

Hello Sampey & others  Smiley I have read all 83 pages of this thread and have been enjoying my new copy of CAT for 3 days now. I've made quite a few questions if that's ok?

I have had many gains, but the cumulative total of the gains seem much less than other users have posted. I am trading with ~1btc on ~18 markets, using only default settings: .8% gain, place buy and sell pings at recommended price. Some of the markets are VERY active, one made over 150 ping pongs. It is fun to watch  Cheesy I am looking to increase the total gain though, and not sure how? I see lots of people using 1% minGain and I will try that, any other ideas?

Some very active markets make an occasional loss, buy and sell at same price so fees are removed, but it seems ~5% of the total and not significant. Some market like TIPS/LTC, all but 1 trade were like negative Sad    is this a cat/cryptsy bug or is something about that market I should avoid?

Does min% gain setting include cryptsy fee? after buy and sell cryptsy charges 0.5%, so min 0.8% gain is 0.3% gain after fee? or does CAT calculate in the fee (1.1% for .8% setting)

Will CAT do less quantity than the user set ping order? I would like to trade with a larger amount to get bigger gains but do not want to miss small trades.

The never/buy sell directly option would take off some small gain yes? but with the possibility of more trades because you will not wait for an order? or less trades because less opportunity to meet min%gain (narrower % diff in market)?

If I stop process and leave pong order open, then create new ping orders, will pre-stop pong orders generate new ping orders again?

Sorry for so many questions  Cheesy

Or it could happen by some freak accident 5 minutes from now.

Your response was aimed at strengthening the computationally expensive argument.

Why are we using a 160 bit hash instead of something that is more resistant to collisions?  Will we be able to move to a 224/256 bit hash if and when the need arises, even if it's 100 years from now?

I'm not a programmer, I don't work on bitcoin code, but I do understand how both of those things work. I'm going to say "yes". It might take everyone moving to Bitcoind v2.1.744 in the year 2121; but it really doesn't sound THAT difficult.

Re: Underclock 5850 Memory?
by
RustyShackleford
on 21/05/2011, 17:11:13 UTC
This seemed like a good thread to ask; especially because I just finished reading another thread where Baisley appears to be some kind of GPU mastermind Smiley


I have a Sapphire 5850 extreme as well, and was using trixx with great success.

However this machine is also my primary computer; and I got a third monitor. Not finding out until later that the 5850 can only support 3+ monitors through native/active DisplayPort (which I had none of); I rigged one of the monitors onto the onboard 4200 (not used for mining; not worth it).

My problem is; trixx will only ever detect/attempt to tweak the settings for the 4200 unless I disable it completely in the bios. I've read that this is a problem with trixx and that there is no fix.

Luckily, MSI afterburner DOES let me select the card to tweak. But it does not let me adjust the vcore and my memory clock seems to adjust itself depending on if i'm mining or not; regardless of what i set it to- as you guys have just described is a problem with MSI AB and Sapphire Extreme 5850.

What i'm wondering is, does anyone have a link or instructions to how do unlock/give MSI the ability to change these settings?

Do I have to uninstall CCC Completely? They seem to 'play nice' provided i'm not trying to use them at the same time. The checkboxes in MSI AB's general tab are already checked; they don't have an effect. Should I bother trying RivaTuner or is it too out of date?

I won't be able to actually attempt any advice until my new heatsink/fan gets here. The blower on my card went out and i'm having to underclock it to hell, with shroud off and 3 fans pointed at it (lost 1/3 of my hasing power) just to keep it below 80.

Thanks Smiley

Letting the market it handle is a contradiction. We are the market so let's handle it.

We didn't wait until Deepbit actually had problems from double spending. Soon as it hit near 50% people moved their work load elsewhere.

Why is it people still think the market is some White Knight who slaps you around a few times? It's just the collective entropy that we fail to adjust for. The more ignorant we are or the more irresponsible we are the harder we all get hit.

The market is the collective paranoia of all of us. It can either see the dead canary and run before the gas hits, or it can wait for the first dead body at which point you have a stampede of miners market forcing each other to death. Hurray for balance! Who cares about the funerals?

WE.ARE.THE.FUCKING.MARKET.

+1

The market as "someone else, over there" approach is hands-off and void of any responsibility/control.  It's the position of the observer and exactly the reason we have our current economic woes (to varying degrees based upon location). Of course, we got into that situation before the internet was around.

So basically more people/volume/trades which will also in turn lower the trade fee, both of which will decrease the spread. Got it, thanks Smiley

Re: Tycho cheating every miners & soon destroy total bitcoin network completely.

For those of you just joining us, go have a look at other posts by dishwara. Then have a look at some posts by [Tycho].

Yes, "Dishwara hurts bitcoin reputation by spreading unfounded rumors, hurting himself and his investors" seems appropriate.

+1.
I see more reasonable and level-headed arguments coming from 13 year old boys on Xbox live who are at the bottom of the scoreboard.

I don't give a fuck if tycho is selling mint BTC at profit. If he wants to put in the extra effort to do that shit then fine, I am still getting paid what I agreed to signing up for his pool. If someone NEEDS mint BTC and is willing to pay a premium for it, fine. If they are willing to pay DOUBLE for it, that's fine too. Good on him for finding the sucker.

But I don't think he is, and you haven't offered up any proof, and you seem to make a lot of noise any time the market doesn't work out in your favor. So i'm gonna go with the old adage; "Haters gonna hate"

Also, deepbit's hashrate goes up and down all the time.

Disclaimer: I only mine in deepbit when other pools give me too many RPC connection errors, now that there are so many zero or near-zero fee pools.

Re: Can someone please explain to me WHY I should accept BTC over gold or silver?
by

on 20/05/2011, 18:01:13 UTC
Can't believe nobody's mentioned that you don't have to weigh or try to figure out "change" for BTC, but I guess that doesn't apply if the transactions you are making are things like investments/land.

I can't imagine trying to pay for my groceries in gold. I can't imagine a minimum wage cashier trying to appraise and then make change for my gold.

I CAN imagine them letting me out the door with an unconfirmed transaction assuming they were standing there watching me send the coins to their address. I can also imagine them requiring my contact information for this transaction, as many stores do when you write a check. Either that, or send the amount of the transaction to a new address and then hand them the private key for it.

Why is the spread so large?
by
RustyShackleford
on 20/05/2011, 17:50:57 UTC
If I trade USD/EUR, the spread is usually somewhere between 1 and 3 pips (.0001). Why is the spread on MtGox so much higher, to .01 to .7 or more? What is/are the cause, effects, and remedy (it seems like a bad thing?)

I have no idea myself and and searching for "spread" on the forums did not work out how I had hoped, so sorry if this is a stale topic.

Thoughts? Explanations? Baseless conjecture? Smiley

We're displaying prices in dollars for now, but when you check out, you can only use bitcoins to pay.

I like this, though it would be nice to do what I see many websites do- use a drop-down box to select your currency displayed.

Personally I won't shop at any site that doesn't have auto-adjusting prices of some kind (a fixed fiat price with BTC shown later is fine)- at least until the BTC price stables out.

Generally the idea of banking is that the DEPOSITOR is the one getting paid, not the bank. Though with modern banking and today's fees I can see how one might think otherwise.

noob here.
I just received my first btc from deepbit.  Now looking at my wallet it says received 1.11 (my threshold was 1btc).  But my receiving address at the top has now changed.  Is that normal?  Will I continue receiving at the first address until I change my address with Deepbit?

EDIT: I meant the receiving address at the top... on my bitcoin client.

Yes, and Yes.
