I've become very interested in bitcoin and am in the process of setting up my own mining rig. I need to be able to ask technical questions somewhere that they will be seen in order to do this.

Please un-newbie me!

Hi,

I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu and have been having a very difficult time getting m0mchill's poclbm to run. I have version 2.1 of the AMD software and believe that I've installed all of the appropriate libraries

The version that I downloaded is here: https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/archives/master
(the source, not the windows executable)

I am running a 6950 with the following options:
python poclbm.py -d 0 -v -w 128 -o xxx -p 8332 --user=xxx --pass=xxx

The error that I get is:
Build on :

/tmp/OCLWr29ew.cl(45): error: mixed vector-scalar operation not allowed unless
          up-convertable(scalar-type=>vector-element-type)
     nonce = base + get_global_id(0) + (uint2)(0, 0x80000000U);
                                       ^

1 error detected in the compilation of "/tmp/OCLWr29ew.cl".


Any idea how I can fix this?

I'm new to btcguild (a tentative move from another mining team) and trying to understand why the number of shares that I show solved on my desktop, the pool block history and the my account page don't add up.

Right now, the "my account" page shows 43 total shares solved, of which 2 are from "this round". This suggests that I should have 41 shares from previous rounds. When I go to "block statistics" and add up "my shares", I get a total of 23 (including from unconfirmed blocks). Am I misunderstanding something here?

On my laptop, Linuxcoin hangs after "ISOLINUX 4.02".... "Peter Anvin et al".

It doesnt even try to boot. I've tried burning 2 different CDs. I get further when I make a USB disk with unetbootin, but I still cant get to the point of loading the kernel.

I'm using a USB CDrom drive. Could that be it?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm in SF and would like to buy $100 worth of bitcoins. My address is

1Gq8mGog9BX3dma9TP2Ggnw3z4msUpamyH

I have to work during the day but can transact after 7pm.

I've gotten my cup filled. Thank you.

I have 7 Itunes and App Store gift cards, each of which has a face value of $25. I'm willing to sell them for the BTC equivalent of $21 each.

If you're interested, send an email to the address in my profile. I'll quote you the Mt Gox exchange rate when I read it and lock that exchange rate for you for 24 hours. You send the BTC and I'll ship the card.

US destination addresses only.

Im just starting out mining - I want to confirm that everything works with my slow system before I start putting in more resources.

Right now, I'm getting an average of 0.7 kHash/sec. I'm aware that this will give me very few bitcoins, but my understanding is that it should deliver something other than zero.

I've been using mining.bitcoin.cz for a few hours but less than a day and all of my counters are still at 0. My worker shows 0 blocks found, 0 shares and a score of 0. My estimated reward is 0.00000000000. What i

How can I track my (slow) progress? Am I suffering from update delay, or am I not getting any credit at all? If things are working right, when should I expect to see a single block show up?
