I will buy a lambo when I can get one for < 5 btc.

edit: forget that, I'd actually like something that doesn't run on fossil fuels. Are there any green super cars?

Same here.  Mine seems more like 15 seconds.  If I kill the power and count, "One-thousand one, one-thousand two," until I get to ten, hit the power, it will not turn back on.  I need a good solid 15 before it will kick in.

Congratulations on adding litecoin (LTC) to the site.

It was added right above namecoin in the list of the types of coins that are allowed to mine.  My automined coins were set between bitcoin and namecoin (the rest were unchecked).  With the addition of litecoin, bitcoin and litecoin were checked, namecoin was unchecked.  You may want to check your settings to make sure your automined coins are set properly.

Bitcoin round appears to be stuck at 125h10m, and no statistics for the top bitcoin miners.

Moonco.in is down so no way to get the data used for that..

I didn't knew it was using external data :\

Any info about moonco.in downtime ?


Solidcoin24.com has an API that could be used as a backup/alternative.

Re: [Guide]How to setup an automated headless LinuxCoin mining rig + watchdog

You can create another script that runs every minute or 10 minutes to monitor.  For example:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

WHAT="phoenix"
CMD=`sudo ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep ${WHAT} | wc | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ ${CMD} -le 0 ]; then
  echo "stopped running.  restart here."
  exit 1
else
  echo "it's running.  no need to do anything."
fi
exit 0
This will look for a running instance of phoenix.  Of course, if you have more than one instance, you may have to fine tune what you are searching for to make it unique.  I have something similar that checks to make sure my miners are running.  And if it doesn't find it, the miner gets restarted.

Re: x1 in x16 slot - lock ups [SOLVED]
by
pixilated8
on 06/09/2011, 14:16:28 UTC
Funny the device numbers changed as they are still in same physical order on board. I deduce that the device numbers don't follow the physical slot order. My guess, the x16 slot has priority over the x1 slot and gets numbered first.

I found the same on my Biostar A870U3.  From right-to-left, the 16x are first, then the 1x.
Code:
   1  3  0  2

SolidCoin difficulty is incorrect.

Your website shows 8336 and says that the next update is in 0d 1hr 49m 59s and should be approximately 4547 at that time.

Currently SolidCoin.exe getdifficulty returns 4730.80785762

Up to now I've not noticed any inaccuracies and think that this one page has tons of useful info.  Smiley

Re: [ANNOUNCE] SolidCoin - new and improved block chain. Secure from pools

on 04/09/2011, 18:05:16 UTC
I have a prob where I have a small amount of BTC that I can't get out of there anymore at all now, the mandatory minimum fee is too large and I can't convert to SC's to take out .... guess it's a mandatory donation now?.... :-(

Same.  I was hoping I could deposit some BTC and then pull the full amount (minus the fees of course).  I realize that the amount I have in there is less than the fee amount to withdraw, so I would actually be losing BTC by doing this.  It's just the "It's mine and I want them" mentality I guess. Smiley  I suppose I don't mind if it's made into a "donation" rather than just being lost into the great big bit bucket in the sky.

Re: Motherboards: What Works w/Four or More GPUs? List Them

on 23/08/2011, 03:10:15 UTC
WORKS
Motherboard Brand: Biostar
Motherboard Model & PCIe Slots: A870U3 (2x16, 2x1)
Power Supply Brand & Model: Corsair TX850 (Pulling ~615W at the wall)
Number & Model GPUs: 4x Sapphire 5830 Xtreme (Overclocked & undervolted)
Extender Cables w/Molex Power?: No

Motherboard automatically unlocks 2nd core of Sempron 140.

I'm trying almost exactly the same configuration, except with 5850's and it's not stable.  Are you using 16x->16x extenders for the two 16x slots?  Have you noticed any stability issues?

I have two 16x->16x and two 1x->16x extenders.  No pin-mod for the 1x PCI-e slots.  Rock solid stability.  Using LinuxCoin booted from 4GB USB, running headless.

I purchased this cable from cablesaurus: https://cablesaurus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=10 and am unable to have my gpu recognized by windows. I have tried plugging it into the pci-e x16 and pci-e x1 slots and I get nothing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

This is the motherboard I have:

Re: Raising the clock reduces hash rate?

jb@miner0:~$ atitweak -s -A 0 ; atitweak -s -A 2
0. AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series (:0.0)
    engine clock 946MHz, memory clock 821MHz, core voltage 1.15VDC, performance level 2, utilization 99%
    fan speed 72% (4259 RPM) (user-defined)
    temperature 73 C
2. AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series (:0.2)
    engine clock 946MHz, memory clock 821MHz, core voltage 1.175VDC, performance level 2, utilization 99%
    fan speed 72% (4249 RPM) (user-defined)
    temperature 73 C


I do not overclock the cards higher than what AMDOverdriveCtrl would be able to do.  In fact, once I found my highest hash (~414) at 946MHz, I then proceeded to undervolt the card.  Both cards use the same profile, but strangely enough the core voltage on #2 is different than #0.  I'll have to look into that.

Hi,

I have a new XFX 6970 running on Win 7 x64 with the 11.6 drivers and 2.4 SDK, I'm using guiminer with Phoenix and the following:

-k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=11 WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP=false

I've over clocked to 975/700 with 1.2v using Trixx I get about ~406 to ~411 MH/s

If I raise the core clock to 980 MH drops to ~400
If I raise the core clock to 985 MH drops to ~250!  Huh
If I go above 985 I get a freeze, I understand that  Smiley

Can anyone explain why?

Thanks

Trip

I found that with my 6970, in trying to determine my maximum OC, the results were what you were seeing.  I had to increase 1MHz, see what the hash was, record it, and increase another MHz, see what the hash was, etc.  Increasing the OC by 1MHz could drop the hash by huge amounts.  Add another 1MHz, and it could be back up where you would expect.  I wish I had kept that spreadsheet to give exact numbers, but once I knew what I needed I erased it Smiley

What does this mean??

aticonfig: This program must be run as root when no X server is active


I just bought a new computer, had a computer shop make it, and went through all the steps but I can't tell what number my GPUs are.  I am mining successfully on my CPU so it works, but why won't my cards show up?
Try using sudo:
