Absolutely perfect. No modded cgminer, no modded drivers, no modded anything. Fan speed, clock speeds, and temp display works flawless...

Super easy. Install 13.10, "saucy salamander" then install beta 13.11 drivers released 1/8/13. Then, install cgminer 3.7.2 and go to town.

Haven't "tuned" the cards at all yet. I want 5MH/s from this one rig  Wink



.05btc bounty!!!

So, do you think this is the case even for four? {290x} I'm downloaded Ubuntu now...

I'm having a problem keeping 1 stable with win7, nonetheless four or six.

I have:
Four Sapphire r9 290x cards
GA 990FXA-UD5 [mobo]
AMD FX 4130 4-core 3.8GHz
12GB RAM
1500w Enermax
Four 16 x 16 pci extenders [not powered]
(optical, WD 350gb hdd, Windows 7)

pics of my rig here: https://imgur.com/a/uKm87

Also, this is my first rig and may be missing something obvious to others.
All drivers are installed plus win 7
In the bios, I didn't really do anything. It was already set to boot pcie 1
Not sure what else to do in bios.

When trying just one card:
- I have to try multiple slots multiple times.
- Each time, either windows is scrambled, gets frozen at startup, looks 8-bit and distorted, or no signal, no beep
- when it gets going and looks perfect (1 out of 20 starts), it eventually crashes
- When i try other slots (like the x16 ones), it doesn't even beep once, or does the 1 long, 3 short beeps (gpu code).
- Once I got windows up with 2 cards, but one had an error 43
- I've tried to download the updated catalyst, but as it's installing, when the screen goes black a few times, it eventually never comes back.
- Tried uninstalling the drivers and restarting and installing, but trying to start windows without this driver and using this card is damn near impossible. Did it once though.
- Sometimes windows is going, but the monitor stops and says no signal, but the pc sounds no diff than a second ago...like it's still running win7
- If I try to start with two cards in any slot combo, i get the 1 long, 3 short beeps

.05btc bounty to the one that get's me up and running.

If you don't see it listed above, assume I haven't done it..even if basic

Thanks!!



This is what I did, and two cards are running fully maxed out.

To start-

1. Install the Ubuntu

2. Update Ubuntu fully

3. Download the latest AMD Beta drivers for Linux, and download the fixed CGminer from http://www.ohmpie.com/mining-on-an-r9-290-in-linux/  Do not download anything else.

4. Extract the AMD drivers to your home directory, and extract the Cgminer.

5. I renamed the CGminer folder to just cgminer so it is easier to type in command prompt.

Install AMD drivers-

1. Open up terminal, and check to see if you extracted the AMD drivers to the right spot by typing

ls

2. Once you see the driver file type

sudo chmod +x ./name of your AMD driver

3. To install the drivers type

sudo ./name of your AMD driver

4. Once the installer is finished reboot the PC

Set up CGminer-

1. Open up terminal, and install CGMiner required files.

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config libtool libncurses5-dev

2. Change to cgminer folder

cd cgminer

3. Export your display settings

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

4. Check to see if CGminer detects all GPUs, and you can see the temps etc...

./cgminer -n

5. If all your GPUs show up you can go ahead and start mining. I started at a I of 9 to check stability of system

./cgminer --scrypt -o pool address -u workername -p password -I 9

6. If CGminer does not detect all GPUs type

sudo aticonfig --adapter=all -f --initial

Then restart PC

7. Export your display settings again, and retry

./cgminer -n

If all GPUs are detected start mining!

Lastly I recommend that you save a conf file using CGMiner, and you can edit your settings from that file instead of typing a huge command list every time you want to start mining.

For instance I have one set up with all my overclocking settings so I can just ./cgminer -c r9290 and CGminer loads up all my favorite settings.

Refer to the README files in CGminer if get stuck on the CGminer parts.

And one more thing, the only way I got my card detected was by installing the AMD Beta driver by just running the installer. When I built the driver just for Xubuntu CGminer seemed to not like it. So I did a fresh install, ran the Catalyst installer, and built the CGminer with the ADL file fixes(or download the one from the site). I started out with a -I of 9, and it started right up.

I have not figured out why CGminer will not pick up the cards when building packages for certain distros of Linux. If anyone has input let us know!



Hmm, that is exactly what I did, and I get the results you describe! Well, mostly. I still have one detecting at least. It did fire right up and I tweaked it up to ~840kh/s using basic 290 settings before I gave up for the night. With more TC tweaking and finding the prime core/mem ratio of my individual cards I think 860-880kh/s should be manageable.

So if I understand correctly, I should just sudo *.run --i, right? Or even just ./*.run?

No sudo *.run --buildpkg /Ubuntu/....?

I think I remember seeing the ATI Linux install gui at some point when I was flogging without knowing what I was doing. I'm thinking just running that .run file will get me back to that CCC install gui, right?

Yes, you would see the Catalyst GUI come up when running the .run file.

Basically,

I unzipped the driver, opened up terminal,  sudo chmod +x *.run, and then sudo ./*.run. The installer pops right up, and you can install it. Since you can detect one card, it seems like your drivers are working.

When uninstalling drivers, I broke everything, and had to do a fresh install. So keep that in mind while working on the drivers. Always check to make sure the hardware actually works so you don't mess up your install just for a bad card.   

When more cards come in this week I will post my results.

Okay, after another post by someone else pointing me in the right direction I stumbled across this site: http://www.ohmpie.com/mining-on-an-r9-290-in-linux/

This goes into detail on how to patch the latest linux driver (13.12) and actually has a link to some .deb binaries so you may not even need to patch. If you can get that far...

Then you need to recompile cgminer from source, from the tarball linked on their site. I am gonna give it a go here within the next 24 hours. If you don't think you can do this then I'd forget the r9 290s for now... I am familiar with linux and patching source and compiling in linux. Really from what I've read it shouldn't be too difficult (might eat my words on that). Anyway, I'll let you all know if I can get them up running stable and post you all my history log so you can see how I did it. Figured I'd post what I've figured out so far for those technically inclined to move forward themselves.

thank you. after days of linux bashing i gave up as too stressed on time. running win8 with 5 cards for now. if you can get it working and post the log of step by step inputs that you did i (as well as many others) would really appreciate. good luck/.

Once the driver is corrected, and CGMiner is recompiled the R9 290 runs pretty well. I am going to do some more tweaking, and see if I can run more than one  R9 290 before I say everything is working 100%. Currently running around 870 KHas/sec with current settings.

Waiting to receive 5 more risers to get to 9x R9 290 on this rig (~7500 KH/s for ~3000W).
2 MOBO and will be 3 PSU.
Cheap wooden prototype case.
Will stack 3 like this, hopefully not torching the place Smiley


Did you have trouble getting your R9 290s running stable? I have nothing but trouble with 4x even with the latest drivers. BAMT won't go into Xorg with more than 1 card and Windows crashes as soon as I get to 3. 280x's work fine...

Everyone has trouble with 290's. If you aren't recompiling cgminer or using one with a pre-modified ADL library you probably won't get them to work.

The 290 has powertune 6, or something like that. The 280 uses powertune 5, which is what the 79xxx series used. Cgminer/bamt are built around powertune 5, so the calls and commands the 290 expects never come. This is why it'll bluescreen out on windows if you press "q" to quit.

280x's didn't work on BAMT for over a month, not unless you recompiled it with the 13.11 beta drivers yourself. The 290 situation is similar, but worse.

Much thanks for the bump in the right direction! Now I got some thing to try. From what I've read, I can most likely pull it off... Hours of Googling did not lead me to this. THANK YOU

I am currently running a XFX R9 290 using Xubuntu 13.10 with the newest AMD Beta drivers, CGminer 3.7.0 and pulling around 876 KHash/sec. This blog post should help you out some if you need more info. http://www.ohmpie.com/mining-on-an-r9-290-in-linux/

Re: Coinbase: a bad experience :(
by

I tried Coinbase for fun a few weeks ago, and once they informed me it would take two weeks to process the transaction I got a bad feeling. I stopped the payment, and used Localbitcoin. It was simple, and got my coins in a few mins. My opinion is that they use customers funds as a way to fund their trading. As BTC is so volatile they can make a few trades with your money, and than send you your BTC.

When I sent in a support ticket to stop the transaction they replied a few days later with a off topic reply. Fast forward a week later they emailed me saying the bank refused to pay them and they can't process the transaction.

You may need to find outside help to deal with this, and keep on trying to contact their support. Also try mailing a certified letter to them. Keep all documents to support that you've contacted them.

Good luck

Re: Bitmain AntMiner U1 Tips & Tricks

20 minutes and I have it running on my BAMT GPU linux box.  So I decided to try this on one of my BAMT devices with 4 GPU's running mining Scrypt (NO I'm not mining Scrypt with these, just using the same Linux device).

I logged in on my BAMT device and did this exactly:

git clone https://github.com/bitmaintech/cgminer
cd cgminer
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0
sudo apt-get install libudev-dev
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-bmsc
make -j 6

and then did (as in the example from the .PDF)
./cgminer --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o 50.31.149.57:3333 -u ktzhan_3 -p 123 --bmsc-freq 0781
Two things.

First of all, the "--bmsc-options 115200:20 " is MANDATORY.  I was not using it and having it on the command line made all the difference in the world.

Next, what processor / OS are you running?  i.e. does "uname -p" say  "i386" or "x86_64"?

The same exact sequence on an intel i3 running ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 gives a compiler warning that it will crash because of a memory overflow and really does.  Fixing the memcpy from trying to copy 5 bytes into a 4 byte uint32 stops the crash and lets the program run.  Your compiler / OS / processor may be more forgiving of the driver trying to stuff 5 bytes into a 4 bytes entity.

FWIW, what I did to make it work on an i3 running ubuntu 12.04 was

--- a/driver-bmsc.c
+++ b/driver-bmsc.c
@@ -1276,7 +1276,7 @@ static int64_t bmsc_scanwork(struct thr_info *thr)
                goto out;
        }

-       memcpy((char *)&nonce, nonce_bin, sizeof(nonce_bin));
+       memcpy((char *)&nonce, nonce_bin, sizeof(nonce));
        nonce = htobe32(nonce);
        curr_hw_errors = bmsc->hw_errors;
        submit_nonce(thr, work, nonce);

which is essentially to only copy 4 of the 5 bytes returned by the driver before the byte swap.  Only 4 bytes are used by the code so this is a safe change.

Changed up the driver file, and no luck. Still crashing due to that mem error, tried on 32-bit and 64-bit systems, using Xubuntu 12.04. Have any other ideas?

I have my unit running with the prebuilt windows version.
I have it over clocked to 275mhz and the resulting hash rate reported by CGM is about 2.18ghs WU27.1/m.
 
I am seeing a high error rate (around 10%).
Strange thing is I seem to get this error rate no matter what clock rate I have tried.

What do you adjust in the settings? 

I'm running with cgminer.exe --bmsc-options 115200:20 -o  --
bmsc-freq 0781


The Github for Antminer has a guide with all the settings you could adjust for the U1. It was very helpful for me!

There are other support options, like IRC. And I agree with the few previous post about the altcoins, also maybe read up on joining a mining pool?
