Re: linuxcoin - LiveOS with everything preinstalled.

Hi guys!

I've been happily hacking away at LinuxCoin, and I've got persistence running (it wasn't quite as bad as I thought -- run the standard unetbootin against the ISO, and then rename the persistence file.

I've put two .sh files on my desktop -- one to start pool mining, and the other for when DDoS gets nasty, and i want to shift back to solo.

I saw something, but for the life of me I can't remember where, that you could add items into a start script on the X system.

Right now, the ATI EULA autolaunches on each boot (not ideal, but OK).

I'd like to make the shell script for launching my pool connection, and probably teamviewer auto-launch.

Any suggestions on next steps?

Thanks!

Difficulty increased this morning.

And indeed, the BTC transaction is traceable, however it's not reversible.

The info is out there in the blocks, it's just a matter of identifying where your 23.5 was, and watching where it went.

http://blockexplorer.com

If you know what public key you used to deposit there, you should be able to trace through and see.

i believe i am the exception when it comes to people who use windows, but i have:
a) never used virus prevention program
and
b) never had a virus.

practice common sense when downloading and using software on a windows machine. this should be your credo.

if you are really worried, you should read and follow the instructions given on another post about "how to secure your wallet".
basically you create a new "savings" wallet on a known virus-free OS and back it up. you should only SEND money to it, and should only ACCESS it from a known virus-free os.

p.s. i have a program that will generate 50382 FREE BTC! PM ME FOR LENK TEU DOWNLOEDS!9

Unless you are running a good firewall, the average time to infection for an unprotected windows PC on the internet is under 1 minute now.

You *may* be in denial.

Were you using the same password on both sites?

it's a *really* good idea to use different passwords on trading sites (mtgox) than "bank" sites (mybitcoin).

Your password hashes were released to the world from MtGox, and if it wasn't a *really* good password, then it was compromised pretty quickly.

There's probably nothing mybitcoin can/will/should do about this... it's not really their fault.

Bitcoin is actually the biggest password-cracking operation in the world. Project "satoshi" is it's NSA name. For just a few million dollars offered in "reward" to keep the "market value" up, the government can now crack just about any password in minutes, thanks to your help in creating a 125,000 teraFLOP-equivalent distributed machine!

[...]

Please keep doubling the processing power every month for the government. Setec Astronomy.

Meh... as long as we keep getting paid I can live with that Smiley

No Prob.

I would check back on the forums for GuiMiner updates... there have been a few new versions released.

I am looking forward to having noob status updated so I can put comments/suggestions over there Smiley

My phoenix 1.5 manual config doesn't update with hashrate, and I'd love to see some more links to edit settings built in -- maybe a "notepad.exe xxxx" to edit the settings by hand.

I was seeing about one MH on my core i7 when i first started.

I have 5450's around that get around 10 (so I don't bother with them).

I use 2 5770's - one gets 125 (I'm still scratching my head why... although I think it's the latest catalyst driver giving me hell), and the other gets 177-185.

I also have a 5830 running on linuxcoin usb with an ooooooooold Dell Precision 380 (Look on craigslist/ebay -- you'll probably be able to pick up this 1 pcie slot PC for less than anything you could build)

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=dell+precision+380&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-Address&oe=UTF-8&rlz=1I7GGIE_en&um=1&hl=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1920&bih=1058&wrapid=tlif130892334598710&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=11053561002789349962&sa=X&ei=1JUEToXFE6630AHQ67jICw&ved=0CGgQ8wIwAg#

I'm getting 230 MH off that -- I pulled out the hard drive and cdrom, and run fine with the stock power supply.

And then I have my 5870 running 280.


Again.. all of these numbers are running absolute stock configs -- nothing tweaked/modified to run anything other than stock settings -- so they aren't running the fastest they could, but all of them stay fully within warranty parameters Smiley

For the most part your CPU mining rate is a rounding error for your ATI/AMD GPU's... I wouldn't even bother with CPU at this point.

They were already running 24/7 anyway... so this didn't make that much of a difference Smiley

Good Morning!

I'd like to take a more active role in the LinuxCoin area (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?board=12.0).

I have a few comments/suggestions to add in as they prepare to go to the 0.2b release.

I'm light enough on Linux that I have a few questions I just don't think get read over here Smiley

Thanks!

Re: LinuxCoin OpenCL Kernel Error - Fix

on 24/06/2011, 13:08:36 UTC
I noted just now that after I rebooted, I could finally use the script I'd saved on my desktop, without having to run it as root.

I've added in a TeamViewer install with package manager.


I'd love to edit the startup config, so that I can launch these automatically, but I'm having a hard time finding it... Anyone able to post over on the main LinuxCoin thread and ask about this?

Thanks!

LinuxCoin OpenCL Kernel Error - Fix
by

on 14/06/2011, 23:12:26 UTC
Good Evening all,

I too was hit by the strange OpenCL kernel error for LinuxCoin.: see here https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7374.msg219317#msg219317.

I found what appears to be the fix...

It's too simple...


run your script from the root command prompt

voila.

worked for me
