Let's say that you had your choice between either a 6990 or a 5970, both brand new in the box, same price. Which one would you choose and why? Mining considerations only, no gaming.

That analogy is off a bit; a parent deciding when a child can choose to engage in sexual activity on their own versus a parent forcing their child to commit acts of prostitution. If you are going to engage in a debate please at least brush up on critical thinking. 100 level college course.

Maybe try a bit of fucking reading comprehension next time?

The 13 year old was in on it.

My bad and I sincerely apologize, I swear your post said "without her consent" and I had no previous knowledge of that incident. I guess I should read a bit slower.

Re: Shout outs from Seattle

Not from Seattle, but not too far away. I live in Portland but work for a company based in Lacey and Tacoma, so I am in your area quite often. I might be interested in driving up for a meetup. I missed the Portland Bitcoiners meeting a few weeks ago but I am really interested in trying to create some local buzz about Bitcoin. I am currently willing to accepting Bitcoin for computer services in the Portland area. I have been doing on-site computer, network, and printer service for 11 years, so I know what I'm doing. I really believe in Bitcoin for the long term and want to help it succeed by using it for goods and services, not just treating it like other securities to bought and sold as the price fluctuates. Let's get Bitcoin flowing through our local economies and prove to the world that the Bitcoin community means business!

Just my .02 BTC, but any wallet service that does not have the functionality that the client has is worthless. The fact that generated payments are not compatible is IMHO unacceptable.

I assume that balances from 3 or Ti are yet to be paid? Just checking. I got both my US and EU balances, so I have faith. If they have been sent, I guess I need to take a second look at my received. Thank you!
Ti is still up on ghost.mining.eligius.st probably until Monday. There's a guy on IRC who has a bunch of supercomputer CPU miners that overloaded EU, and I want him to test on Ti to see how well the new software can handle it before unleashing it on Su. Once it's shutdown and the final block has 120 confirmations, I'll be sending any remaining balances via the usual sendmany.

Received my balance from Ti today. Thank you Luke-jr!

Re: Help setting up a miner

Deepbit is not down, up right now 11:35 pm Pacific standard time, USA. All 6 of my workers connected and submitting shares as I type.

Log in to your Deepbit account, create a worker, eg. youremail@you.com_0 and give it a simple password like xxx. It doesn't have to be secure, just make sure your main Deepbit account password is strong. Create a new miner in GUIminer, select Ufasoft CPU miner unless you have a suitable graphics card to mine with. Also open the GUIminer console under view - show console. Go back to the new CPU miner tab you just created, change the dropdown to Deepbit and enter your Deepbit account info. Use the new worker you created on the Deepbit website in the email field and then enter the simple password you chose. Now after you click start mining, switch over to the console tab and you can see what is going on. If it still doesn't connect, copy the text from the console and post it here. Good Luck!

P.S. - You realize that unless you are mining with a good graphics card, it will take you days, maybe even weeks of CPU mining to earn 1.0 bitcoin, right?

Re: [20 Bitcoins bounty] For instructions on how to install ATI 58XX drivers on ESXi
by
blumpkinpie76
on 05/07/2011, 16:04:01 UTC
I say its theoretically possible, but would require extremely major modification of both ESXi and the fglrx drivers, so not something you could just make some instructions for. I am curious as to why you would want to do this. I am also missing the connection to reusing the server for headless Windows server.

I would think it would take a professional coder much more than 20 BTC worth of time to complete a project of this magnitude, even at the all time high BTC/USD exchange rate.

I do, however, like your thinking because sometimes it is unconventional ideas like this that spur innovationa and development.

BTW, are you the guy with the youtube videos about silver?

The reason is to run other applications on the box doing mining the make money leveraging all aspects of the hardware.
BTW Yes I am the guy who makes silver videos.   

Thanks dude!

Re: [20 Bitcoins bounty] For instructions on how to install ATI 58XX drivers on ESXi

I manage a bunch of ESX and ESXi clusters. What the OP wants to do is... for lack of a better word, useless. If you have GPU cards in a server/workstation then you should just install LinuxCoin on that box and run your miners. Installing ESX/i doesn't give you any benefit, even if it were possible to get the drivers to work with the GPUs, because the whole point of ESX is to virtualize hardware. Since by definition you cannot virtualize GPU resources, and even then miners use 100% of the GPU resources anyway, there's NO REASON TO USE VIRTUALIZATION TO MINE.


The point is to use the GPUs for mining and the other resources for visualization why have all those resources go to waste.

Now I understand what you are after, got it!

Why would you have to mod the fglrx drivers ?

Im not an expert, but the fglrx drivers are for Linux and I would be really surprised if someone could get ESXi to install them. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, ESXi is not Linux, might appear to be but it is a proprietary OS. Someone with more knowledge please correct me if I am wrong.

having no contact to another potentially insecure operating system running on the same computer

Are you implying that Linux is not potentially insecure? That is as ignorant as the "Macs don't get viruses" statement I hear from 70 year old ladies. IMHO, Linux is a bad choice for someone who is not savvy or experienced with it. I agree that what you are proposing is a good idea, but could be disasterous for non Linux users. I look at Linux as the OS that assumes you know what you are doing. As the teacher of my first Unix class told us "Unix usually wont stop you from doing something stupid."

Not promoting Windows or any other OS (I like Linux) just poining something out.

He probably isn't.  Most religious people think it is their duty to be self-righteous bigoted assholes.  How can any system of belief that characterizes non believers as evil wastes of space produce anything but assholes?

Yeah, a bunch of posts have been deleted from this thread.

It's ridiculous that trolls are allowed to post negative bullshit that is slanderous to the Bitcoin community as a whole but if I call someone out for thier religious ignorance my post gets deleted  Roll Eyes Must have rubbed a mod the wrong way.

The amount of religious people out there just proves how stupid the people of the world are as a whole.

The new Eligius 3 pool and site have been down for several hours now. No response from Bitcoin RPC and stats pages fail to load. Anyone have a clue to what is going on? I know they were having MySQL issues right before this.

I really don't know why but I like Eligius more than the other pools I have tried.

You should have a bit more faith after the US server paid out.

The send time will be Thursday but you'll probably see it around Friday.

As far as I can see the Eligius is run by a bunch of croocks. I haven't been payed either and I'm sick of waiting. They have no right to hold on to the money after they shut down the server. What's more they are too arrogant to post any explenation on their website. I'm done mining for them.

Not crooks as far as I am concerned. I received the .24 from the US pool almost a week ago and the 1.0 from the EU pool showed up last night.

Before you accuse someone of stealing, you really should stop and consider the fact that it is not easy to run a mining pool and give the person a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem. I know we all want instant gratification but things take time and mistakes get made. You have to give someone the opportunity to make good on an error before you start calling them out for it. Just my .02BTC

When refreshing the FTP directory periodically, three .dat files appeared.  I have downloaded them and removed them from the FTP server.  After starting up bitcoind with them I will report on any addresses they contain that have been seen in the block chain.  If they turn out to be your addresses, create a new wallet on a secure machine and spend all of your coins to one of its addresses ASAP.

EDIT: More keep popping up every so often.  I am downloading and deleting all that I find.

Dude, you are a goddamn rock star! Love to see this kind of crap foiled

Also, make sure you are running the 32 bit edition. I've read sometimes the  64 bit can cause this.

Agreed, if you are having issues running or installing 64 but Ubuntu, try the 32 bit edition. I had a motherboard that 64 bit just didn't like, but 32 but worked flawlessly.
