Okay your posting says to use port 8337 but your wiki says use port 8338. Which is it?

Also what is the name of the config file? ixcoin.conf? bitcoin.conf?

Your tutorials dont have proper documentation for anyone to start mining.

How do you expect people to help the project if you don't even have basic documentation?
also 8337 happens to be the bithopper port. couldn't throw it up on my server so i had to bust out a vm.

dunno if I maybe right or not, but threshold and penalty aren't the exact same thing only inverse proportional values ?

@boss cat give us some versions pls (python, twisted-python and pyopenssl)
python 2.7.2
python-twisted 2.4.0-3
pyopenssl 0.6-2.3

python-twisted Versión: 10.2.0-1 here    Cheesy

edit: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads
Yeah, my VPS is ancient Tongue
I spent the night and most of the morning upgrading from debian 4 to 5 and then to 6. i must say apt-get dist-upgrade does wonders.
so now everything is working, well except polmine, and bmunion

glad you made it work dude, you can disable those pools with confidence and if you need more help with bH we're on freenode at #bithopper   Smiley
I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks for your help

86. you walk into a walk in freezer and instead of admiring the ice cold beers you think "if i put my mining rigs in here..."

87. Upon reading this you think, "nahhh PUE of 2 sucks".

I had to google what PUE is. And then spent a good 15 minutes exploring all the whitepapers.

@boss cat try to use a packet manager (apt-get, aptitude) if on debian architecture, compiling from source could be troublesome sometimes
I tried that but it said it was up to date already. I'm running (well the vps provider is running) debian etch which is no longer supported so the sources are no longer current.

@joulesbeef you have dbit working there ? seems like it jumped before reaching 40%

@boss cat you could be having troubles with openssl, try reinstalling the package

I am mining deep bit.. having been watching when it jumps

I'm testing 80% threshold

yeah bosscat most likely ssl
so i reinstalled openssl from source by using
Code:
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
tar xvzf openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.0d
./config
sudo make
sudo make test
sudo make install
everything installed with no errors but im still getting api errors.

Did i install it right? Or did I even install the right one?

Re: Official CGMINER thread - CPU/GPU miner in C for linux/windows/osx

I tried cgminer on a couple of my boxes last night and woke up to find 3/4 GPU marked as DEAD on one and 2/4 DEAD on another. Trying to restart the DEAD GPU doesnt seem to do anything on either machine (restarting the ones still running did seem to restart them OK). Both boxes have been running for weeks using poclbm without errors. Running the 1.5.3 binary on Ubuntu (3xHD5870 and HD6310).

Anyone else seeing problems with DEAD GPU that won't recover unless cgminer is restarted?

BB.

Restart dead GPUs does not work for me too. Win7 64bit, Catalyst 11.7
Me too. LinuxCoin beta final

In my testing, under Fedora14, SDK2.4, restart GPU works in 100% of my 5xxx series cards, and 0% of my 6xxx series cards.

Not for me. It won't restart either gpu on my 5970.

After wrestling with linux I got it running again.
I'm getting a bunch of api errors for rfc, btcmonkey, mtred, nofeemining, ozco, bmunion, and polmine. Anyone else? I used the same config on my localhost machine but I just moved it to a vps.

heres a guide i used https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29021.0
it mostly worked for me.

previously i had windows but i felt it was bloated and kept crashing. linux is more of a server os built for 24/7 stuff.
