A problem with this that I see (as a BTC->silver person) is that it doesn't, and can't really, take into account the BTC->$currency ratio. By which I mean, today, the low in BTC->USD is 1BTC->2USD, and that's not within what I'm willing to trade on.
I just can't understand why it doesn't work. That ./configure says file not founf or some bs. This is driving me insane and no one has any decent tutorials, it all assumes you're a linux genius.
damnit man, I'm sure someone here could help me easily. Please help!
Before you can run configure you need to run ./autogen.sh

Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner overclock monitor fanspeed in C linux/windows/osx 2.0.8
Yeah, as a CPU miner I'm in danger of extinction. On the other hand - why let those CPUs idle the whole day and waste 600MH/s (in peaks)? Too bad cgminer doesn't build on Solaris10 (SPARC) cleanly. If it would I had work for about 1200 bored cores.
Anyway I'd really appreciate if could adjust the layout in the next release.
Have you posted the build problems? If they aren't too hard to fix, perhaps they can be fixed and merged...

Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner overclock monitor fanspeed in C linux/windows/osx 2.0.7
Is cgminer better than guiminer and barelyclocked?
Does it support voltage changes on a lot of cards? Do they have to be of the same model? Im using guiminer + barelyclocked ATM, but with BC I cannot change voltage or memory clocks on my non-ref VTX3D HD 6850 (only trixx does that well but I can only increase it), on my Sapphire non-ref HD 5850s I can only OC GPU core to 900MHz (memory and voltage changing works fine).
Ok, someone said I might get 7Mhash/s more, anyone got answers to my other questions?
There's options for engine/memory/voltage, but I ran AMDOverdriveCtrl before I fired up cgminer to modify the ranges, so I can't say if it will modify them outside the normal scope. I think it might be easier for you to build/download cgminer, pause your current miner for a minute and try
By the way, this morning we had a proof of work that could have created a namecoin block, but it was stale on the namecoin side. It's not good having 5% of proofs be stale on the NMC side. I'll get out an update for the BitMinter beta client soon (regular non-beta should be fine already). Does anyone know if a new cgminer has been released that works better with merged mining?
Still only fixed in git, afaics.

Re: [900 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); Pool back in action!
made more elsewhere for the time you were down just on pay per share of only my gpu's
no more shares worth little or nothing after 15 min no more "invalid blocks" no more waiting for payout no more rejected shares because your pool can't play with phoenix no more problems & promises
I can't say you got what I was'nt or the big miners got it but it sure wasn't this small miner
oh one last slam to me namecoins DIDN"T payoff with the last of my bitcoins Guess you'll have some LAME excuse for that too
Shrug, sounds like you've switched to a small pool that does pay for invalids. Personally after a run of bad luck on small pool I'm about ready to hop back over here once the block finishes. And do recall slush said NMC would get paid out later (and I've cashed all mine out just fine). But whatever, to each his own.
SS is Stale Shares discarded (work completed but not submitted because already stale - just as bad as rejected)
When merged mining this is a bad idea. The proof of work may not be valid on the bitcoin chain, but it could still be valid on the namecoin chain. One might potentially throw away a proof of work that would have been able to create a namecoin block.
By the way, it is now possible to enter an NMC cash out address on the website and collect your namecoins. More website updates coming soon.
Some of us have pointed this out and the author is working on an updated version of cgminer which doesn't assume blocks are stale unless it receives an LP.
I believe this change has been pushed to the git tree at least, so anyone that builds from source can pull, rebuild and relaunch.
OK, that covers the obvious problems (none of which are there). The next step would be: ./cgminer .. options to connect to a pool ... --verbose --text-only --shares 1 > debug.log 2>&1, pastebin it once it complete and wait for someone with more depth to figure out what's going on..

Can you use something like http://pastebin.com/ to show us the whole output of ./configure from when you built cgminer? Thanks!
First, what's the equivalent of intensity=9 in cgminer, etc? Setting breaktime to 90ms?
Second, I see merged mining is coming soon. Just how soon? I'm hoping before the current bonus runs out
And as an observation, at least in my rig (Ubuntu, I'm currently only as fast as cgminer was, but in cgminer I saw a LOT of pool not responding, caching results, pool back, submitting msgs).

Re: [149 GHs] NMCBit Merged Mining is here! PPS for NMC and BTC enabled
Why such a sudden adjustment to the NMC-to-BTC rate ? After checking exchange rates to compare, would it be safe to assume that the pools exchange rate now includes convenience overhead ?
Presumably, yes. I've not been a user for all that long but for a while the exchange now rate was roughly 0.005 off from the "sell me now" market rate (or at least, bitparking.com). Then the market dropped down to around 0.020'ish. I'd been waiting for the rate here to drop, heh.
I'm playing with SOCKS5 support for poclbm, looks like very simple patch, unfortunately with external dependency to socksipy library. If it will work, I'll ask m0mchil to accept it to upstream. Worse thing is that poclbm is pretty sensitive to timeouts (default is 5sec, which sometimes isn't enough for Tor).
What's poclbm using for url parsing? I was poking phoenix earlier (and hoping to have time today, but didn't end up with) to try and add a proxy option since there's examples for twisted (which phoenix uses) and urllib (which I hope others use, heh) for proxy.
So I guess for now we throw torify in front of the miner and if this takes off wait for (or help with) patching miners to try and proxy .onion domains? Or maybe I should say, adding a new user, turning off LP and doing torify python phoenix.py ... Just Works. And cgminer uses curl which supports SOCKS (and of course see the Tor FAQ about SOCKS and potential privacy issues) so it should Just Work too, but I haven't fiddled with that yet.
Yes, both torify or SOCKS5 proxy in miners should work. Actually it would be really amazing if somebody write short howto for running miners over Tor (maybe to bitcoin.it wiki?). Unfortunately torify works only in Linux, so Windows users need miner with SOCKS5 support.
I'm game for some of the contents at least (no Windows here). There's already a Tor page on the bitcoin.it wiki, but it's for bitcoind/IRC usage rather than mining, but the basic setup stuff is there. Perhaps adding a Mining section, covering Linux and OS X (which I assume has torify too, but checking now) and hoping someone with Windows can confirm what I see googling about setting http_proxy in Windows and hoping cgminer+libcurl for Windows obeys?
EDIT: Page edited, OS X doesn't have torify so I just put Windows and OS X in the same section about "try setting http_proxy". I don't know if more client specific information should go on the client pages (which are kinda sparse at times) or here.
Note: At this moment you need to turn off long polling on profile page for mining over tor. There's 30-minute cache of settings for already used worker in pool core, so I recommend you to create blank new worker "tor" with LP disabled. If there will be enough interest, I'll modify pool to support LP & Ntime rolling over Tor as well (which dramatically improve Tor mining experience).
Let me know if you're interested!
