   3 2010-11-25 00:01:17 <ArtForz> yep
   4 2010-11-25 00:01:20 <ArtForz> tx flood is back
   5 2010-11-25 00:01:47 <Kiba> an annoyance, ArtForz
   6 2010-11-25 00:02:00 <ArtForz> yeah
   7 2010-11-25 00:02:14 <nanotube> isn't m0mchil's miner and diablo's miner fixed to not choke on that already? or you think people are still running a bunch of old code?
   8 2010-11-25 00:02:22 <ArtForz> they are
   9 2010-11-25 00:02:31 <ArtForz> just check BBE
  10 2010-11-25 00:02:54 <Kiba> jackass transaction denial attack
  11 2010-11-25 00:02:58 <ArtForz> all blocks with 12-14 or so smap TX are fixed miners
  12 2010-11-25 00:03:01 * Kiba RAGES
  13 2010-11-25 00:03:03 <ArtForz> *spam
  14 2010-11-25 00:03:33 <ArtForz> so first glance it looks like ~90% of the generators are running upgraded
  15 2010-11-25 00:05:05 <nanotube> ArtForz: how do you know which miner generates which block? for all you know, it could just be you generating the spam-filled blocks. :)
  16 2010-11-25 00:05:30 <ArtForz> old miners fill the block to 219 or so TX with spam
  17 2010-11-25 00:05:51 <ArtForz> new miners limit spam tx to 13 or so per block
  18 2010-11-25 00:06:45 <nanotube> aha i see... how does it detect what's a 'spam' tx?
  19 2010-11-25 00:07:04 <nanotube> and, what happens with the other spam tx's, then? do they just float around the network 'forever'?
  20 2010-11-25 00:07:11 <ArtForz> kinda
  21 2010-11-25 00:07:27 <ArtForz> they just sit in tx caches until they make it into a block
  22 2010-11-25 00:07:28 Xunie has joined
  23 2010-11-25 00:07:42 <nanotube> ArtForz: and what about the 1st question? :)
  24 2010-11-25 00:07:55 <ArtForz> currently quite easily
  25 2010-11-25 00:08:02 <ArtForz> 0.01 btc -> 0.01 btc
  26 2010-11-25 00:08:25 <ArtForz> dozens of those
  27 2010-11-25 00:08:27 <tcatm> won't they keep the tx cache filled then?
  28 2010-11-25 00:08:42 <ArtForz> thats currently a bit of a problöm
  29 2010-11-25 00:08:52 <ArtForz> the tx cache has no size limit
  30 2010-11-25 00:08:54 Toadyonps3 has quit (Quit: "If a tree falls in a forest, and it lands on Bill Gates, who wouldn't celebrate?)
  31 2010-11-25 00:09:09 <tcatm> yep, i see my bitcoind eating up memory ;)
  32 2010-11-25 00:09:46 <doublec> would introducing a transaction fee fix this? The spammer will then run out of money to spam with.
  33 2010-11-25 00:09:50 <Kiba> does everyone have the same cache, or what?
  34 2010-11-25 00:09:54 <ArtForz> no
  35 2010-11-25 00:10:06 <ArtForz> everyone caches the TXes they see flying by
  36 2010-11-25 00:11:09 <ArtForz> if you receive a TX you dont have cached (and is valid of course), you put it in cache and broadcast it
  37 2010-11-25 00:12:12 <ArtForz> orphan TX (= tx that look internally valid but you dont have a tx their txins refer to in chain or cache) get put in orphan cache and arent broadcast
  38 2010-11-25 00:13:29 <tcatm> is there any good solution to the spamming problem?
  39 2010-11-25 00:14:01 <Kiba> wait until everyone upgrade?
  40 2010-11-25 00:14:20 <ArtForz> even if all generators are updated the spam TX will still fill caches
  41 2010-11-25 00:14:32 <ArtForz> tx fees would obviously work
  42 2010-11-25 00:15:04 <tcatm> not really. you could send 1000 btc instead of 0.01 btc?
  43 2010-11-25 00:15:22 <Kiba> you have to buy more and more bitcoins
  44 2010-11-25 00:15:26 <Kiba> to make it up for what you lost
  45 2010-11-25 00:15:30 <ArtForz> if every TX costs 0.01, every tx costs 0.01
  46 2010-11-25 00:15:47 Toadyonps3 has joined
  47 2010-11-25 00:16:02 <ArtForz> so if you send a few 1000, thats a few 10btc you "lost"
  48 2010-11-25 00:16:24 <ArtForz> right now spamming is free
  49 2010-11-25 00:16:24 <Kiba> everybody would like some bitcoins
  50 2010-11-25 00:16:30 <Kiba> so all he's really doing is donating his money
  51 2010-11-25 00:16:55 <Kiba> of course, this cost...money
  52 2010-11-25 00:16:59 <ArtForz> = a spammer can just grab 0.05 off the faucet and keep moving those around indefinetly
  53 2010-11-25 00:17:00 <MT`AwAy> mh
  54 2010-11-25 00:17:45 <ArtForz> there also might be somewhat of a technical solution
  55 2010-11-25 00:18:05 <ArtForz> we already "score" tx for block inclusion for mining
  56 2010-11-25 00:18:39 <MT`AwAy> maybe include transactions with larger amount in priority
  57 2010-11-25 00:18:46 <tcatm> including them is not a big problem, is it?
  58 2010-11-25 00:20:11 <ArtForz> what if we limit tx cache size and use same/similar scoring to decide which TXs to "forget"

  60 2010-11-25 00:20:22 <ArtForz> we already do that
  61 2010-11-25 00:20:40 <Kiba> ArtForz: then he could just rebroadcast
  62 2010-11-25 00:20:53 <tcatm> the sender will re-broadcast anyway...
  63 2010-11-25 00:21:00 <ArtForz> and it wont help him much
  64 2010-11-25 00:21:07 <tcatm> but he'd need to wait for at least one block
  65 2010-11-25 00:21:15 <MT`AwAy> yep, it will rebroadcast once in a while until the transaction is in a block
  66 2010-11-25 00:21:18 <ArtForz> yep
  67 2010-11-25 00:21:26 <MT`AwAy> bitcoin.ch bitcoin.asia bitcoin.st bitcoin.nf bitcoin.bz bitcoin.li bitcoin.at bitcoin.ws bitcoin.hn bitcoin.ht bitcoin.tk bitcoin.tv bitcoin.tw bitcoin.tc bitcoin.gd bitcoin.vg bitcoin.nu bitcoin.ac bitcoin.io bitcoin.sh bitcoin.im bitcoin.cx bitcoin.jp bitcoin.md bitcoin.vc bitcoin.tl bitcoin.si bitcoin.se bitcoin.in bitcoin.la bitcoin.dk bitcoin.it* bitcoin.fr* bitcoin.pe bitcoin.ms bitcoin.gl bitcoin.lu
  68 2010-11-25 00:22:13 <Kiba> what if he decides to connect to 50 people?
  69 2010-11-25 00:22:19 <ArtForz> still wont help
  70 2010-11-25 00:22:58 <ArtForz> if the tx cache size is limited (and TX are scored by "spammyness"), all the spammer will be doing is pushing some of his own spam tx out of caches
  71 2010-11-25 00:23:04 <MT`AwAy> ideally if all clients have the new rules, his only way would be to mine blocks with his transactions himself
  72 2010-11-25 00:23:25 <Kiba> I think cache limit is a better solution than pay transaction
  73 2010-11-25 00:23:56 <ArtForz> current tx "score" is sum of (#confirms of input tx * #coins of that input tx)
  74 2010-11-25 00:24:00 * Kiba received commision of .01 btc everythme when somebody download his stuff
  75 2010-11-25 00:24:38 <ArtForz> the normal client tries very hard to not include 0/unconfirmed coins in sent tx
  76 2010-11-25 00:25:17 <ArtForz> = normal transactions usually have non-0 scores
  77 2010-11-25 00:25:48 <ArtForz> while a chain of 0.0x btc going a->b->a->b is one non-0 tx followed by a chain of 0-score tx
  78 2010-11-25 00:25:54 <Kiba> Ya think somebody is trying to make the network more inconvenient

  81 2010-11-25 00:26:22 <ArtForz> well, we should thank him
  82 2010-11-25 00:27:06 <Kiba> tommorow, we're going to break forum record
  83 2010-11-25 00:27:15 <Kiba> the pace of posting is 200 per days...recently
  84 2010-11-25 00:27:29 <ArtForz> we can now contemplate and implement ways to limit spam before our userbasde is big enough that upgrading close-to-everyone would take ages

  90 2010-11-25 00:57:20 <jgarzik> New demonstration CPU miner available
  91 2010-11-25 00:57:33 <tcatm> does it work now?
  92 2010-11-25 01:05:17 <jgarzik> yes :)
  93 2010-11-25 01:06:46 <tcatm> nice. what was the problem? (i've debugged it a bit today and haven't got it working)
  94 2010-11-25 01:08:08 bost_ has joined
  95 2010-11-25 01:08:12 <bost_> hi all
  96 2010-11-25 01:08:38 <tcatm> hi
  97 2010-11-25 01:12:23 <ColonelPanic1> oh sweet, nice to see you made some progress jgarzik
  98 2010-11-25 01:13:21 <jgarzik> tcatm: my sha256 algorithm was byteswapping its input in the initial LOAD_OP stuff.  the data was already byteswapping, so that resulted in incorrect hash results.
  99 2010-11-25 01:13:50 <tcatm> ah interesting
 100 2010-11-25 01:14:43 <jgarzik> verified generation on testnet, so it + new getwork... works.
 101 2010-11-25 01:15:11 <tcatm> cool. how big is the network latency for getwork?
 102 2010-11-25 01:16:38 <jgarzik> small, when it's localhost :)
 103 2010-11-25 01:17:20 <jgarzik> I don't stop nonce'ing at 0xffff.  You're looking at a metric ton of 'getwork' requests at that point.  I continue incrementing nonce to 0xffffff.
 104 2010-11-25 01:17:44 <ColonelPanic1> ffff pidgin doesn't do SASL, I need another irc client
 105 2010-11-25 01:17:53 <tcatm> for opencl miners latency is an issue
 106 2010-11-25 01:17:58 <ColonelPanic1> or I need linux on here
 107 2010-11-25 01:24:08 <jgarzik> tcatm: do you mean time between new TX (and thus new block header) in bitcoin client, and time that new data is hashed in the miner?
 108 2010-11-25 01:25:13 warner has quit (Quit: ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs))
 109 2010-11-25 01:25:23 <tcatm> no, time between two scanhash() calls including the time it takes to fetch a new workunit
 110 2010-11-25 01:25:52 <nanotube> jgarzik: congrats on getting it working :)
 111 2010-11-25 01:26:39 <jgarzik> tcatm: how does that become an issue?
 112 2010-11-25 01:27:20 <tcatm> during that time the miner is not mining
 113 2010-11-25 01:29:13 <jgarzik> tcatm: decrease the number of workunit fetches with a patch like
 114 2010-11-25 01:29:13 <jgarzik> -        if ((nNonce & 0xffff) == 0)
 115 2010-11-25 01:29:13 <jgarzik> +        if ((nNonce & 0xffffff) == 0)
 116 2010-11-25 01:29:43 <jgarzik> and spend more overall time mining
 117 2010-11-25 01:31:52 <jgarzik> bitcoin really should accepting gzip encoding for JSON, too, IMO
 118 2010-11-25 01:31:56 <jgarzik> accept
 119 2010-11-25 01:32:55 <tcatm> is the address cache full of invalid addrs?
 120 2010-11-25 01:40:08 <MT`AwAy> [10:23:52] <jgarzik> bitcoin really should accepting gzip encoding for JSON, too, IMO <- you can enable layer level compression when using SSL
 121 2010-11-25 01:40:43 <brocktice> Is there some way to make the server listen to clients beside localhost?
 122 2010-11-25 01:40:59 <brocktice> I can do an ssh tunnel but it's not ideal
 123 2010-11-25 01:41:20 <MT`AwAy> brocktice: rpcallowip=* for example
 124 2010-11-25 01:41:28 <brocktice> ah, thanks
 125 2010-11-25 01:41:34 <MT`AwAy> if you do that it'll listen on any instead of 127.0.0.1
 126 2010-11-25 01:42:08 <brocktice> wildcards are ok?
 127 2010-11-25 01:42:12 <brocktice> Like 10.0.0.*
 128 2010-11-25 01:42:18 <MT`AwAy> I guess so
 129 2010-11-25 01:42:28 <brocktice> one way to find out :)
 130 2010-11-25 01:43:33 <brocktice> yep, seems to work
 131 2010-11-25 01:43:35 <brocktice> yay!
 132 2010-11-25 01:43:41 <brocktice> thanks! address?
 133 2010-11-25 01:43:59 <tcatm> mhm how do i work around a "file descriptor out of range"?
 134 2010-11-25 01:44:11 <doublec> brocktice, keep in mind if you're not using SSL that your rpcpassword is being sent in the clear
 135 2010-11-25 01:44:15 <brocktice> tcatm, what's the context?
 136 2010-11-25 01:44:17 <kermit> tcatm: are you using select()
 137 2010-11-25 01:44:19 <brocktice> doublec, It's just on the local network
 138 2010-11-25 01:44:22 <tcatm> kermit: yes
 139 2010-11-25 01:44:30 <doublec> ok, just thought I'd mention it just in case
 140 2010-11-25 01:44:31 <brocktice> doublec, I want to have multiple miners connect to one bitcoind
 141 2010-11-25 01:44:37 <brocktice> doublec, I appreciate it though
 142 2010-11-25 01:44:52 <kermit> tcatm: i think i heard you should use poll() now
 143 2010-11-25 01:45:24 <tcatm> mhm should actually work. i'm using seperate threads anyway
 144 2010-11-25 01:45:30 <kermit> tcatm: i think i heard one reason is exactly that, it can handle more descriptors than select(), but i may be wrong
 145 2010-11-25 01:45:32 <MT`AwAy> brocktice: address of?
 146 2010-11-25 01:45:41 <tcatm> (i'm trying to connect to as many bitcoin nodes as possible)
 147 2010-11-25 01:45:45 <kermit> tcatm: poll() isnt actually polling, its just like select()
 148 2010-11-25 01:46:49 <kermit> tcatm: all i remember for sure is that there's no reason to use select() anymore if you have poll()
 149 2010-11-25 01:47:03 <brocktice> MT`AwAy, a bitcoin address to which I can express my appreciation for your help
 150 2010-11-25 01:47:08 <MT`AwAy> oh :p
 151 2010-11-25 01:47:09 <tylergillies> whats the difference between multiple miners talking to a single daemon and just runnning multiple daemons?
 152 2010-11-25 01:47:24 <brocktice> tylergillies, if they're using multiple daemons they can compete
 153 2010-11-25 01:47:42 <MT`AwAy> brocktice: 1CSKtRCzoa1hJbpZ1TXdDwdVW8PX4hZatV for example :)
 154 2010-11-25 01:47:43 <brocktice> if they're sharing one then getwork will give them different stuff to work on, though I may be misunderstanding
 155 2010-11-25 01:48:08 <tylergillies> brocktice: oh gotcha, makes sense, even if you might be wrong ;)
 156 2010-11-25 01:48:25 <kermit> tcatm: also if you're using more than 1024 descriptors, maybe look into setrlimit
 157 2010-11-25 01:48:37 <brocktice> tylergillies, Also, it's one less bitcoin daemon to manage
 158 2010-11-25 01:52:12 <brocktice> I love it when I get these emails: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/7010/mineremail.png
 159 2010-11-25 01:53:04 <MT`AwAy> :p
 160 2010-11-25 01:53:18 <tcatm> my spamfilter would trigger :)
 161 2010-11-25 01:55:03 <brocktice> tcatm, I have a special sieve filter that drops that right in my high-priority folder
 162 2010-11-25 01:55:12 <brocktice> my phone also beeps to let me know :)
 163 2010-11-25 01:55:51 <tcatm> i check once a day how many blocks my miners found
 164 2010-11-25 01:56:17 <brocktice> I've had a few breakdowns so I'm neurotic about it
 165 2010-11-25 01:56:31 <brocktice> I also have temperature, load, process, and pump speed monitors that'll email me if they go awry
 166 2010-11-25 01:56:34 <brocktice> brb
 167 2010-11-25 02:02:40 <tcatm> okay, polling is now working. let's see if it runs into other limits
 168 2010-11-25 02:04:55 <tcatm> seems to work. i can trace transactions
 169 2010-11-25 02:05:00 <brocktice> once the hardware is paid off I'll be less neurotic about it
 170 2010-11-25 02:05:32 <tcatm> i've got about 100% profit from mining now
 171 2010-11-25 02:05:51 <brocktice> yeah the price will have to go pretty low after the hardware is paid off for it not to be profitable
 172 2010-11-25 02:05:56 <brocktice> or the difficulty much much higher
 173 2010-11-25 02:06:51 <tcatm> yes. though current price/difficulty is not friendly to new miners
 174 2010-11-25 02:06:59 <brocktice> yep
 175 2010-11-25 02:07:04 <brocktice> I think I got in toward the end of that
 176 2010-11-25 02:07:14 <brocktice> so I hope it stabilizes :)
 177 2010-11-25 02:07:15 <tcatm> i wouldn't invest any further
 178 2010-11-25 02:07:17 dwdollar3 has joined
 179 2010-11-25 02:07:35 <brocktice> tcatm, I got a couple of 5770s for my workstation for eyefinity, realized the first wouldn't work the day it arrived so I ordered a second
 180 2010-11-25 02:07:41 <brocktice> (with 5 ports)
 181 2010-11-25 02:07:54 <brocktice> I figured rather than return the first one I'd use it to mine too
 182 2010-11-25 02:07:57 <tcatm> i hope to rip one hd 5870 from my miners one day to use in my workstation
 183 2010-11-25 02:08:01 <brocktice> but it wasn't an intentional additional investment.
 184 2010-11-25 02:08:27 <brocktice> I had been driving 4 displays from 2 nvidia cards but I couldn't use compiz and I had to use fakeXinerema
 185 2010-11-25 02:08:39 <brocktice> I figured out an eyefinity 5 or 6 card would let me have it all
 186 2010-11-25 02:08:44 <brocktice> plus I could mine with it
 187 2010-11-25 02:08:45 <brocktice> so, bought
 188 2010-11-25 02:09:06 <tcatm> i bought them only for mining
 189 2010-11-25 02:09:16 <brocktice> tcatm, what're you running now?
 190 2010-11-25 02:09:26 <tcatm> 3x 5870 + 2x 5970
 191 2010-11-25 02:09:49 <brocktice> cool, 2 boxes I take it?

 193 2010-11-25 02:10:07 <tcatm> yup
 194 2010-11-25 02:10:15 <brocktice> prices have come down quite a bit in anticipation of the 6990 announcement
 195 2010-11-25 02:10:17 <tcatm> 2x 5970 has 23 days uptime
 196 2010-11-25 02:10:25 <brocktice> you can now get a 5970 for $480 with rebate.
 197 2010-11-25 02:10:34 <brocktice> I paid $550 each the prior week :(

 202 2010-11-25 02:11:13 <brocktice> so you have the 5970s in one and the 5870s in the other?
 203 2010-11-25 02:11:21 <tcatm> yep
 204 2010-11-25 02:11:37 <tcatm> 5970 need space for airflow

 206 2010-11-25 02:11:47 <brocktice> yeah
 207 2010-11-25 02:11:59 <brocktice> or waterflow :)
 208 2010-11-25 02:12:18 <tcatm> i was considering watercooling, too
 209 2010-11-25 02:12:34 <brocktice> If I upgrade my PSU I can probably fit in 3 with water
 210 2010-11-25 02:12:36 <tcatm> then i tested with one 5970 and figured aircooling would work well

 212 2010-11-25 02:12:52 <brocktice> my stupid motherboard has awful slot placement so one was always overheating
 213 2010-11-25 02:13:03 <MT`AwAy> brocktice: thanks btw!
 214 2010-11-25 02:13:09 <brocktice> I should have thought of that before buying it, but there are so many variables it's not surprising I missed it
 215 2010-11-25 02:13:16 <brocktice> MT`AwAy, no problem, thanks for the help
 216 2010-11-25 02:13:17 <tcatm> i'm around 70..80 °C depending on weather conditions :)
 217 2010-11-25 02:13:38 <brocktice> mine currently range from 45.5 to 52.5
 218 2010-11-25 02:13:50 <brocktice> If I turn the fans down to 'normal' noise levels it's 52-58

 220 2010-11-25 02:15:40 <ArtForz> anything below the glass point of the underfill should be fine for pretty much forever
 221 2010-11-25 02:15:56 <brocktice> ArtForz, yeah I have to measure for those direct connects
 222 2010-11-25 02:16:09 <brocktice> If I can pull off three cards in a row I'm sure the rad can handle it
 223 2010-11-25 02:16:10 <tcatm> i don't expect them to survive mining for years
 224 2010-11-25 02:16:22 <ArtForz> and afair AMD uses 95°C underfill
 225 2010-11-25 02:17:29 <brocktice> Art, yours run at, what, around 70?
 226 2010-11-25 02:17:54 <ArtForz> depends on air temp, usually somewhere between 75 and 80

 231 2010-11-25 02:21:00 <ArtForz> there seems to be something a bit wrong
 232 2010-11-25 02:21:03 <brocktice> There's been sporadic tx spamming right?
 233 2010-11-25 02:21:06 <brocktice> ArtForz, with what?
 234 2010-11-25 02:21:16 <ArtForz> not sure yet, either my client or the overall network
 235 2010-11-25 02:21:21 <ArtForz> getdatas take AGES to return
 236 2010-11-25 02:21:50 <tcatm> i just hacked a client that connects to >500 nodes
 237 2010-11-25 02:21:59 <tcatm> but that shouldn't cause problems

 252 2010-11-25 02:27:58 <brocktice> theymos, with the hashes you mean?
 253 2010-11-25 02:28:12 <tcatm> theymos: connection timeout :/

 256 2010-11-25 02:29:18 <brocktice> Why not just make the Block 91385 the link?
 257 2010-11-25 02:29:25 <brocktice> Also, why does everything have a question mark after it?
 258 2010-11-25 02:29:25 kingdon has joined
 259 2010-11-25 02:29:29 <tcatm> it looks bit lost
 260 2010-11-25 02:29:35 ColonelPanic1 has joined
 261 2010-11-25 02:29:50 <theymos> The question marks produce help text when you hover your mouse cursor over them.
 262 2010-11-25 02:30:03 <brocktice> oh
 263 2010-11-25 02:30:06 <brocktice> so they do
 264 2010-11-25 02:30:06 <theymos> tcatm: Are you still getting that error?
 265 2010-11-25 02:30:16 <brocktice> that's not super intuitive
 266 2010-11-25 02:30:26 <theymos> I should probably underline them or something.
 267 2010-11-25 02:30:47 <tcatm> theymos: sometimes. maybe my connection is a bit overloaded
 268 2010-11-25 02:31:18 <tcatm> i'd make the blocknumber the link i.e. <h1>Block <a>1234</a></h1>
 269 2010-11-25 02:31:43 <brocktice> I like that
 270 2010-11-25 02:31:53 trickydicknixon has joined
 271 2010-11-25 02:32:18 <theymos> Then people would have to 'right click->copy link' to get the short link. Hardly anyone would notice the feature.
 272 2010-11-25 02:33:01 <tcatm> you could rewrite the url in the addressbar to be the short link
 273 2010-11-25 02:34:36 <tcatm> especially as the url already looks pretty clean. i don't think many people would even look for a shorter link before copy&pasting the url from the addressbar
 274 2010-11-25 02:36:09 <theymos> The real links are long to avoid any possible ambiguity, and also to make automatic processing easier.
 275 2010-11-25 02:36:52 <tcatm> aren't blocknumbers unique?
 276 2010-11-25 02:37:02 <theymos> They can be replaced.
 277 2010-11-25 02:37:29 <ArtForz> tcatm: if you still have that well-connected client online, can you monitor inv (= tx/block) spread?
 278 2010-11-25 02:38:16 <tcatm> ArtForz: i only monitor transactions, their first appearance and timestamp
 279 2010-11-25 02:38:27 <ArtForz> as it looks like txs/blocks are spreading a lot slower than they should
 280 2010-11-25 02:38:52 <tcatm> how would i monitor that tx/block spread?
 281 2010-11-25 02:39:00 <ArtForz> incoming inv messages
 282 2010-11-25 02:40:10 <tcatm> i'll try to hack it to do that (it's based on your half client)
 283 2010-11-25 02:40:13 <ArtForz> normally when a tx/block spreads the time between the first peer saying inv(somehash) and the rest of em doing the same is pretty low
 284 2010-11-25 02:40:15 ByteCoin has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 285 2010-11-25 02:40:26 <ArtForz> usually a few seconds at most
 286 2010-11-25 02:40:35 ByteCoin has joined
 287 2010-11-25 02:40:51 <ArtForz> currently it looks more like 60-80 seconds
 288 2010-11-25 02:40:57 <tcatm> ah so you want to measure the time between first and last broadcast of a tx?
 289 2010-11-25 02:41:02 <ArtForz> kinda
 290 2010-11-25 02:41:16 <ArtForz> rememebr peers broadcast a inv/txhash) when they get a tx
 291 2010-11-25 02:41:27 <ArtForz> so when you look for incoming invs you can time when each peer got that tx
 292 2010-11-25 02:41:36 <ArtForz> same for blocks
 293 2010-11-25 02:41:43 <tcatm> yes that's what i'm doing to find the origin of TXs
 294 2010-11-25 02:41:53 <ArtForz> yep
 295 2010-11-25 02:42:14 <tcatm> found 3 IPs where most of them originate
 296 2010-11-25 02:42:16 <ArtForz> and normally the time between the first peer getting it and the majority of em getting it is pretty damn small
 297 2010-11-25 02:43:07 <ArtForz> and currently that time looks to be in the 1min+ range
 298 2010-11-25 02:43:46 <ArtForz> I suspect something in inv or tx cache handling is scaling at O(n**2)
 299 2010-11-25 02:44:02 <tcatm> i'll try to get that value

 305 2010-11-25 02:50:48 <xelister> how nice, my PSU doesnt fit my 5970.
 306 2010-11-25 02:50:55 <ArtForz> huh?
 307 2010-11-25 02:50:56 * xelister ^&@$@!**$&
 308 2010-11-25 02:51:13 <brocktice> 'fit'?
 309 2010-11-25 02:51:23 <xelister> well 5970 needs a 6 pin AND an 8 pit power, right?
 310 2010-11-25 02:51:26 <ArtForz> yep
 311 2010-11-25 02:51:51 <xelister> since 5970 is so incredibly long (taking every milimeter of space allowed by AT specs I presume)
 312 2010-11-25 02:51:57 <ArtForz> nope
 313 2010-11-25 02:51:59 <xelister> and has the power input on the end
 314 2010-11-25 02:52:11 <ArtForz> it's actually about 0.5" shorter then what PCIe spec allows
 315 2010-11-25 02:52:37 <xelister> and CPU power is on the other side of mainboard, and distance between this blackwhite cable (12 V?) 6 pin and 8 pin are like 8 cm instead of needed 12
 316 2010-11-25 02:52:40 theymos has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 317 2010-11-25 02:52:45 <xelister> I can connect either the GPU or the CPU, not both :]
 318 2010-11-25 02:53:16 <ArtForz> imo they should've gone full length and added the standard holes for a PCI retention thingie
 319 2010-11-25 02:53:22 <brocktice> you need an extension cord
 320 2010-11-25 02:53:25 <ArtForz> yep
 321 2010-11-25 02:53:38 <xelister> how this is named?
 322 2010-11-25 02:53:38 <brocktice> didn't the 5970 come with a 4pin molex->6+8 or something?
 323 2010-11-25 02:53:47 <xelister> even wikipedia doesnt have article on PEG connector
 324 2010-11-25 02:53:51 <tcatm> average tx spread in seconds = 1754.25988874
 325 2010-11-25 02:53:53 <ArtForz> PEG?
 326 2010-11-25 02:54:11 <tcatm> not really sure if i calculated that correctly
 327 2010-11-25 02:54:15 <xelister> the blackwhite cables from PSU, 6 and 8 pins, they are 12 V, right?
 328 2010-11-25 02:54:38 <xelister> what is technical name for this connector type, that 6 and 8 pin power
 329 2010-11-25 02:54:53 <ArtForz> theres 2 kinds of 8 pin power
 330 2010-11-25 02:54:58 <brocktice> pci-e?
 331 2010-11-25 02:55:05 <ArtForz> EPS12V (the extended ATX 12V) and PCIe 8-pin
 332 2010-11-25 02:55:16 <xelister> one cable has 6 and 8 and is black-and-white
 333 2010-11-25 02:55:33 <xelister> no, wrong
 334 2010-11-25 02:55:36 <brocktice> if it has 6 and 8 it's pci-e
 335 2010-11-25 02:55:39 <tcatm> 122.794999997 seconds
 336 2010-11-25 02:55:42 <ArtForz> yep
 337 2010-11-25 02:55:44 <ArtForz> or 6+2
 338 2010-11-25 02:55:52 <xelister> one is black and yellow, it powers CPU by 4 pin and has 8 pin also - this one was too short
 339 2010-11-25 02:56:03 <xelister> ^--- that one is named..?  ESP12V ?
 340 2010-11-25 02:56:11 <ArtForz> probbaly
 341 2010-11-25 02:56:43 <ArtForz> if it's on a cable with the ATX12V (4-pin), it's usually a EPS12V
 342 2010-11-25 02:57:19 <ArtForz> http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html
 343 2010-11-25 02:57:54 <brocktice> does anyone know offhand the command-line utility in RHEL or CentOS that lets you pick package groups?
 344 2010-11-25 02:58:48 <ArtForz> notice which "pins" are rounded on EPS12V and PCIe 8-pin
 345 2010-11-25 02:59:34 <brocktice> ah, grouplist/groupinstall
 346 2010-11-25 03:00:24 <ArtForz> of course if you have black+yellow gnd/12v it's easy as hell to tell em apart, eps12v has 12v on clip side row, PCIe has GND on clip side
 347 2010-11-25 03:00:43 <brocktice> ArtForz, my motherboard had a cap on half the pins on the eps12v connector
 348 2010-11-25 03:00:49 <brocktice> but I took it off and plugged in the whole thing
 349 2010-11-25 03:00:52 <brocktice> do you know what that's about?
 350 2010-11-25 03:00:55 <ArtForz> yeah, so did mine
 351 2010-11-25 03:01:06 <ArtForz> I have no clue whats the point of that
 352 2010-11-25 03:01:09 <brocktice> nothing at all about it in the manual
 353 2010-11-25 03:01:38 <ArtForz> maybe so it doesn't look like a unused receptable when you only have a ATX12V
 354 2010-11-25 03:01:38 <brocktice> hm this is odd
 355 2010-11-25 03:01:51 <brocktice> I have transactions that have not been confirmed since 30 minutes ago
 356 2010-11-25 03:01:54 <brocktice> no block?

 359 2010-11-25 03:02:23 <brocktice> guess not
 360 2010-11-25 03:03:23 <ArtForz> bbiab, seeing if I can resurrect my dead 850W PSU
 361 2010-11-25 03:03:29 <brocktice> good luck!
 362 2010-11-25 03:05:14 <tcatm> i wonder why i can't connect to more than ~600 nodes

 365 2010-11-25 03:05:38 <tcatm> yes

 376 2010-11-25 03:08:20 <brocktice> Instant, no tx fees (or very small), no chargebacks
 377 2010-11-25 03:08:41 <brocktice> tcatm, I know DD-WRT lets you set it
 378 2010-11-25 03:09:26 <brocktice> ah finally someone found 93681
 379 2010-11-25 03:09:38 <tcatm> it's not running dd-wrt
 380 2010-11-25 03:09:57 <brocktice> sadly :)
 381 2010-11-25 03:14:42 <ColonelPanic1> 1) upgrade kernel 2) get 1/2 the Mhash/s as before
 382 2010-11-25 03:14:44 <tcatm> do nodes broadcast TX multiple times?
 383 2010-11-25 03:16:09 <brocktice> ColonelPanic1, which distro/colonel?
 384 2010-11-25 03:16:19 <ColonelPanic1> ubuntu 10.10
 385 2010-11-25 03:16:38 <brocktice> that's pretty severe
 386 2010-11-25 03:17:05 <ColonelPanic1> last night I had 100Mhash/s now I have 30-50Mhash/s and that is the only change I've made
 387 2010-11-25 03:17:27 <MT`AwAy> 30~50Mhash/s that's what I do with my cpu

 476 2010-11-25 06:46:06 <LobsterMan> is there any kind of transaction spam going on at all?

 478 2010-11-25 06:46:26 <LobsterMan> and hashrate drops
 479 2010-11-25 06:47:08 <ByteCoin> Yeah it looks like it's continuing.
 480 2010-11-25 06:47:22 <ByteCoin> Don't see why it would affect your hashrate though...
 481 2010-11-25 06:47:26 <LobsterMan> me either.....
 482 2010-11-25 06:47:36 <LobsterMan> i'm using a client built from r...186?
 483 2010-11-25 06:47:39 <jgarzik> LobsterMan: according to http://blockexplorer.com/ there is spam
 484 2010-11-25 06:48:21 <jgarzik> ByteCoin: well, if your algorithm interrupts itself upon arrival of a new TX, to obtain more work, that would affect overall hashrate due to increased 'getwork' interruptions
 485 2010-11-25 06:48:42 <ByteCoin> Shouldn't really be significant
 486 2010-11-25 06:48:55 <LobsterMan> the dips in temperature coincide with a drop in gpu hashrate
 487 2010-11-25 06:48:55 <LobsterMan> http://imgur.com/evL48.png
 488 2010-11-25 06:49:47 <ByteCoin> Ok. If the getwork interruption takes a significant amount of time and the cards go idle then yes
 489 2010-11-25 06:50:17 <ByteCoin> You really only need to update the jobs the card is working on when the new getwork has completed
 490 2010-11-25 06:50:35 <ByteCoin> If you find a winning hash based on slightly old work it's still fine
 491 2010-11-25 06:50:43 <ByteCoin> You have to check your implementation
 492 2010-11-25 06:51:07 <LobsterMan> i'm still just using m0mchil's miner
 493 2010-11-25 06:51:09 <jgarzik> correct.  but it is easier for single-threaded code to "while (1) { getwork; work for a while; }"
 494 2010-11-25 06:51:20 <Kiba> BMAA members, time to vote...
 495 2010-11-25 06:51:22 <Kiba> http://fivegrinder.com/group/Bitcoin%20Mutual%20Aid%20Association/Bounty%20for%20Association%20Site
 496 2010-11-25 06:51:27 <jgarzik> I think that's what momchil's miner does; that's what my stupid-simple CPU miner does.
 497 2010-11-25 06:51:48 <jgarzik> tcatm was complaining about the work interrupt, idling cards while getwork'ing
 498 2010-11-25 06:52:12 <ByteCoin> Ok. Thx for that. Not familiar with implementations....
 499 2010-11-25 06:52:56 <ByteCoin> Can someone zip up their blk001.dat file and make it available to me. I have a theory I want to test...
 500 2010-11-25 06:53:00 <ByteCoin> please?
 501 2010-11-25 06:53:41 <LobsterMan> what's contained in that file?
 502 2010-11-25 06:53:49 <ByteCoin> It's the block list
 503 2010-11-25 06:53:49 <nanotube> that's the blockchain
 504 2010-11-25 06:54:42 <LobsterMan> would sharing my copy be compromising my identity or security or anything?
 505 2010-11-25 06:55:12 <ByteCoin> Well perhaps you guys would know the answer to the the basic question. Does everyone have the same blk001.dat?
 506 2010-11-25 06:55:31 <ByteCoin> LobsterMan: Not really.
 507 2010-11-25 06:55:34 <nanotube> afaik, the only thing that you should keep secure is the wallet.dat, LobsterMan . but best see if jgarzik agrees with that assessment. :)
 508 2010-11-25 06:55:54 <nanotube> ByteCoin: besides possibility of network lag in latest block distribution... i think it should be the same.
 509 2010-11-25 06:56:01 <ByteCoin> I bet people have different orphan blocks.
 510 2010-11-25 06:57:44 <nanotube> are orphan blocks even kept in the .blk file? i'd have thought they get discarded once the branches are clearly orphan
 511 2010-11-25 06:57:58 <ByteCoin> Nope
 512 2010-11-25 06:58:48 <ByteCoin> There's no provision AFAIK for removing stuff from the blk001.dat file
 513 2010-11-25 06:59:36 <LobsterMan> mine's about 50mb
 514 2010-11-25 06:59:47 <LobsterMan> 51.6 MB (54,142,241 bytes)
 515 2010-11-25 07:02:38 <jgarzik> the more interesting question is whether or not all platforms (windows, linux, 32-bit, 64-bit) have compatible blk0001.dat files?
 516 2010-11-25 07:02:46 <LobsterMan> heh
 517 2010-11-25 07:03:02 * jgarzik wants to see blk0001.dat for blocks 1-74000 distributed with the client.
 518 2010-11-25 07:03:23 <yebyen> pffffft
 519 2010-11-25 07:03:26 <yebyen> what about -testnet?
 520 2010-11-25 07:03:35 <yebyen> there are plenty of reasons to want a bare client
 521 2010-11-25 07:03:48 <yebyen> i've had 4 nodes generating for days and i haven't got a single solution
 522 2010-11-25 07:04:19 <yebyen> your blockchain is invalid :D
 523 2010-11-25 07:04:29 <jgarzik> 'rm blk0001.dat' is not difficult, if you want a bare client.  Novice users suffer through pointless slow download upon first usage.
 524 2010-11-25 07:04:48 <LobsterMan> it should maybe be available if people want it
 525 2010-11-25 07:04:51 <ByteCoin> jgarzik: They appear to be compatible.
 526 2010-11-25 07:04:53 <LobsterMan> but not dstributed by default
 527 2010-11-25 07:04:57 <jgarzik> it should not take 30 minutes to use shiny new software, in year 2010.
 528 2010-11-25 07:05:23 <ByteCoin> jgarzik: Balance sheets for the win!
 529 2010-11-25 07:05:42 <jgarzik> ByteCoin: the serialization code for CBlock should be the same on all platforms...
 530 2010-11-25 07:05:46 <jgarzik> otherwise network wouldn't work
 531 2010-11-25 07:06:00 <ArtForz> blk0001 seems to be identical between 32/64 bit and windows/linux
 532 2010-11-25 07:06:15 <ArtForz> blkindex.dat ... not so much
 533 2010-11-25 07:06:15 <ByteCoin> Not sure what you're driving at in your recent remark jgarzik....
 534 2010-11-25 07:07:12 <ArtForz> we'd need to add code to reinit blkindex from a existing blk0001.dat
 535 2010-11-25 07:07:29 <jgarzik> ByteCoin: bitcoin encodes a C++ data structure, CBlock, into a serialized byte stream for either network or disk storage.  it stands to reason that the blk0001.dat would be the same on all platforms for that reason, but I've never personally verified this.
 536 2010-11-25 07:07:45 <ArtForz> I did, it is identical
 537 2010-11-25 07:08:15 <ByteCoin> As I mentioned jgarzik, it appears to be compatible at least between a 32bit ubuntu install and 32 bit win32
 538 2010-11-25 07:08:30 <jgarzik> sounds confirmed, then :)
 539 2010-11-25 07:08:35 <ArtForz> I compared 64 bit linux, 32 bit linux and 32 bit windows
 540 2010-11-25 07:08:55 <ArtForz> blk0001 is just serialized blocks and perfectly portable
 541 2010-11-25 07:09:07 <jgarzik> next question:  given a blk0001.dat and no index, will bitcoin properly rebuild index & verify block chain?
 542 2010-11-25 07:09:08 <ArtForz> blkindex is a bdb and ... not so portable
 543 2010-11-25 07:09:11 <ArtForz> nope
 544 2010-11-25 07:09:18 <ByteCoin> Artforz: Could I have a zipped blk001.dat from your longest running fast miner? I'm studying orphan blocks.
 545 2010-11-25 07:09:37 <sneak> hi guys
 546 2010-11-25 07:09:37 * jgarzik was hoping to ship blk0001.dat w/out index, in release tarball
 547 2010-11-25 07:09:59 <sneak> ArtForz: how goes the farm
 548 2010-11-25 07:10:18 <ArtForz> it's happily farming away
 549 2010-11-25 07:10:31 <sneak> so's my 1x 5970 :)
 550 2010-11-25 07:11:34 <ArtForz> ewww
 551 2010-11-25 07:11:43 <jgarzik> with the right setting, bdb databases are portable.
 552 2010-11-25 07:11:45 <ArtForz> even 7zipped blk0001 is 34MB
 553 2010-11-25 07:12:27 <jgarzik> default bdb is non-portable, native endian.  but it does have a fixed endian, portable setting.
 554 2010-11-25 07:12:54 <ArtForz> its not a endianess issue, looks more like a 32/64 issue
 555 2010-11-25 07:13:07 <ByteCoin> Artforz: Well all i'd need is the orphan blocks... Can you strip them out?
 556 2010-11-25 07:13:11 <jgarzik> inherent to bdb?  or bitcoin?
 557 2010-11-25 07:13:26 <ArtForz> ByteCoin: should be able to, sec
 558 2010-11-25 07:13:32 <ByteCoin> I suppose you could start a new client and download the blockchain then do a diff..
 559 2010-11-25 07:13:41 <ArtForz> probably to the bdb settings bitcoin uses
 560 2010-11-25 07:13:58 <ArtForz> I already have python code to parse the block chain and find the main chain
 561 2010-11-25 07:14:33 <ArtForz> just need to add code so it writes any block not in the main chain to a new file in the order they appear in blk0001
 562 2010-11-25 07:14:35 <ByteCoin> Artforz: Be carefull as I have instances where the branches are a couple of nodes long
 563 2010-11-25 07:14:46 <ArtForz> so?
 564 2010-11-25 07:14:48 <ByteCoin> The naive method is not reliable
 565 2010-11-25 07:15:02 <ArtForz> I do the same sum-of-difficulty calc as mainline does
 566 2010-11-25 07:15:38 <ByteCoin> Naive method being orphan blocks=blocks whose hashes don'e appear in the list of previous hashes
 567 2010-11-25 07:15:44 <ArtForz> huh?
 568 2010-11-25 07:16:03 <ByteCoin> Nevermind...
 569 2010-11-25 07:16:46 <ByteCoin> I was just saying that if the orphan blocks never had any children then you could find them on that basis
 570 2010-11-25 07:17:10 <ByteCoin> It's not always true but it is the vast majority of the time
 571 2010-11-25 07:17:23 <ArtForz> no
 572 2010-11-25 07:17:31 <ArtForz> orphan blocks = blocks not in main chain
 573 2010-11-25 07:17:59 <ArtForz> main chain = chain from genesis to block with highest cumulative difficulty
 574 2010-11-25 07:26:19 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: so, I wonder why that guy is having issues
 575 2010-11-25 07:26:30 Kiba has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
 576 2010-11-25 07:26:34 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: whats the maximum global item size on 4xxx? 2^32?
 577 2010-11-25 07:27:41 <ArtForz> less
 578 2010-11-25 07:28:15 <Diablo-D3> rutrow
 579 2010-11-25 07:28:17 <Diablo-D3> how less?
 580 2010-11-25 07:28:31 <ArtForz> isnt there a opencl get_info something for that?
 581 2010-11-25 07:28:43 <Diablo-D3> yes but afiak it just returns 2^32
 582 2010-11-25 07:30:20 <ArtForz> http://www.sendspace.com/file/z3rcmh
 583 2010-11-25 07:31:08 <Diablo-D3> jesus christ my miner rapes X
 584 2010-11-25 07:31:23 <ByteCoin> You are a star ArtForz
 585 2010-11-25 07:31:38 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: my hack has a side effect
 586 2010-11-25 07:31:45 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I now need to double the attempted fps
 587 2010-11-25 07:32:03 <ArtForz> Diablo-D3: more workitems and less work per item = more X rapeage
 588 2010-11-25 07:32:17 <Diablo-D3> yup
 589 2010-11-25 07:32:25 <ArtForz> thats the main reason why I'm looping over nonces inside the kernel
 590 2010-11-25 07:32:28 <Diablo-D3> but its now Im queuing two kernels in a row
 591 2010-11-25 07:32:40 <Diablo-D3> so if I need -f 120, I now need -f 240
 592 2010-11-25 07:32:46 <Diablo-D3> and its probably closer to -f 360 >_>
 593 2010-11-25 07:32:58 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: also, I can't seem to get good ... per... fo..
 594 2010-11-25 07:33:00 <Diablo-D3> oh hey
 595 2010-11-25 07:33:10 <Diablo-D3> I never tested looping with the split kernel
 596 2010-11-25 07:33:58 <Diablo-D3> I mean
 597 2010-11-25 07:34:05 <Diablo-D3> I'm already getting 99.1% efficiency
 598 2010-11-25 07:34:15 <ArtForz> which I still kinda doubt
 599 2010-11-25 07:34:34 <Diablo-D3> so do I
 600 2010-11-25 07:34:38 <Diablo-D3> but its _there_
 601 2010-11-25 07:35:07 <OneFixt> is it possible to check temperature without having a monitor connected?
 602 2010-11-25 07:35:21 <ArtForz> errr... yes?
 603 2010-11-25 07:35:30 <ByteCoin> OneFixt: Stick your finger on it...
 604 2010-11-25 07:36:20 <ArtForz> set DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY, aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
 605 2010-11-25 07:36:21 <Diablo-D3> OneFixt: aticonfig, duh
 606 2010-11-25 07:36:37 <Diablo-D3> speaking of which
 607 2010-11-25 07:36:39 <Diablo-D3> Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
 608 2010-11-25 07:36:39 <Diablo-D3>             Sensor 0: Temperature - 67.50 C
 609 2010-11-25 07:36:40 <Diablo-D3> ffff
 610 2010-11-25 07:36:51 <Diablo-D3> Im going to cook my gpu at this rate
 611 2010-11-25 07:36:56 <OneFixt> aticonfig needs X
 612 2010-11-25 07:37:05 <ArtForz> errr, so?
 613 2010-11-25 07:37:09 <ArtForz> opencl needs X
 614 2010-11-25 07:37:14 <Diablo-D3> OneFixt: this is why you export DISPLAY=:0 first
 615 2010-11-25 07:37:20 <OneFixt> sorry let me rephrase = can i do it through ssh?
 616 2010-11-25 07:37:27 <Diablo-D3> OneFixt: it tells all further X using commands to use your local display server
 617 2010-11-25 07:37:32 <Diablo-D3> instead of, say, ssh passthrough
 618 2010-11-25 07:37:34 <ArtForz> <artforz> set DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY, aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt
 619 2010-11-25 07:37:54 <OneFixt> hmm, let me try that
 620 2010-11-25 07:38:05 * Diablo-D3 just facepalms
 621 2010-11-25 07:38:06 <ArtForz> = EXACTLY THE SAME THING you do to run the miner via ssh
 622 2010-11-25 07:38:08 <Diablo-D3> people sometimes >_>
 623 2010-11-25 07:38:38 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: btw I dont think I have a problem
 624 2010-11-25 07:38:55 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: max global work size on split mode is only 4194304
 625 2010-11-25 07:39:37 <ArtForz> that shouldnt be a problem
 626 2010-11-25 07:40:03 <Diablo-D3> yeah it shouldnt
 627 2010-11-25 07:40:06 <Diablo-D3> so wtf is going on
 628 2010-11-25 07:40:24 <Diablo-D3> hrm, I wonder if the max should be that minus 1
 629 2010-11-25 07:40:41 <ArtForz> you ALWAYS want global work size a multiple of local work size
 630 2010-11-25 07:40:49 <Diablo-D3> it is
 631 2010-11-25 07:40:55 <Diablo-D3> unless
 632 2010-11-25 07:40:56 <Diablo-D3> rutrow
 633 2010-11-25 07:41:12 <Diablo-D3> wait no
 634 2010-11-25 07:42:24 <OneFixt> ArtForz: Diablo-D3: it works fine when i have a monitor connected
 635 2010-11-25 07:42:30 <OneFixt> but when i don't, it doesn't show the temps
 636 2010-11-25 07:42:37 <ArtForz> ahhh... yeah
 637 2010-11-25 07:42:43 <Diablo-D3> durf what
 638 2010-11-25 07:42:47 <ArtForz> start X with no monitor connected
 639 2010-11-25 07:43:05 <kupo> I'm many versions behind now
 640 2010-11-25 07:43:06 <OneFixt> i think i did that.. but let me restart it
 641 2010-11-25 07:43:06 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: nooe, no bug
 642 2010-11-25 07:43:09 <ArtForz> driver goes haywire if you disconnect the monitor while X is running
 643 2010-11-25 07:43:13 <OneFixt> ah
 644 2010-11-25 07:43:15 <OneFixt> hm
 645 2010-11-25 07:43:18 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I only + or - workSizes.
 646 2010-11-25 07:43:35 <ArtForz> Diablo: hurrm, weird
 647 2010-11-25 07:43:53 <OneFixt> gonna restart the machine and try all over w/out monitor
 648 2010-11-25 07:44:03 <ArtForz> do you use events to serialize the kernels?
 649 2010-11-25 07:44:42 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: oh and 4194304 is / 256 anyhow
 650 2010-11-25 07:44:51 <ArtForz> yep
 651 2010-11-25 07:44:57 <ArtForz> it's a power of 2
 652 2010-11-25 07:44:58 <Diablo-D3> I dont use events
 653 2010-11-25 07:45:08 <ArtForz> so how do you serialize your 2 kernels?
 654 2010-11-25 07:45:10 <OneFixt> ArtForz: Success!! thank you =)
 655 2010-11-25 07:45:21 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: Im not using a queue that can execute out of order
 656 2010-11-25 07:45:37 <ArtForz> I dont think opencl allows that
 657 2010-11-25 07:45:43 <Diablo-D3> erm, thats the default mode
 658 2010-11-25 07:45:46 <ArtForz> no
 659 2010-11-25 07:45:55 <Diablo-D3> you have to specifically ask for a queue that does OoOE
 660 2010-11-25 07:46:00 <ArtForz> I mean just queueing 2 kernels where #2 depends on #1 results
 661 2010-11-25 07:46:16 <Diablo-D3> by default, it always runs them in that order
 662 2010-11-25 07:46:17 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: and btw
 663 2010-11-25 07:46:21 <Diablo-D3> even if it DID run them out of order
 664 2010-11-25 07:46:25 <Diablo-D3> it still has to execute them
 665 2010-11-25 07:46:28 <ArtForz> I think even with OOE disabled that violates opencl specs
 666 2010-11-25 07:46:31 <Diablo-D3> you just get useless results
 667 2010-11-25 07:46:35 <ArtForz> yep
 668 2010-11-25 07:46:41 <Diablo-D3> so thats not the source of the bug
 669 2010-11-25 07:47:20 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: read the specification btw
 670 2010-11-25 07:47:31 <Diablo-D3> the default queue style is always execute in order
 671 2010-11-25 07:47:39 <ArtForz> yes
 672 2010-11-25 07:48:03 <Diablo-D3> so if I queue kernel A, and then kernel B, it will always be A and then B
 673 2010-11-25 07:48:13 <Diablo-D3> never B then A, never A and B concurrently
 674 2010-11-25 07:48:13 jrabbit has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
 675 2010-11-25 07:48:16 <ArtForz> and afair it's still illegal to queue a kernel that depends on a prev kernels results without either using that ones completion event as a wait for #2 or expliciltyl waiting berfore submitting #2
 676 2010-11-25 07:48:51 <Diablo-D3> thats not what the spec says.
 677 2010-11-25 07:49:29 <ArtForz> weird
 678 2010-11-25 07:49:30 <Diablo-D3> read section 5.8 in the 1.0 spec
 679 2010-11-25 07:50:24 <Diablo-D3> If the CL_QUEUE_OUT_OF_ORDER_EXEC_MODE_ENABLE property of a command-queue is
 680 2010-11-25 07:50:25 <Diablo-D3> not set, the commands enqueued to a command-queue execute in order. For example, if an
 681 2010-11-25 07:50:25 <Diablo-D3> application calls clEnqueueNDRangeKernel to execute kernel A followed by a
 682 2010-11-25 07:50:25 <Diablo-D3> clEnqueueNDRangeKernel to execute kernel B, the application can assume that kernel A
 683 2010-11-25 07:50:25 <Diablo-D3> finishes first and then kernel B is executed. If the memory objects output by kernel A are inputs
 684 2010-11-25 07:50:26 <Diablo-D3> to kernel B then kernel B will see the correct data in memory objects produced by execution of
 685 2010-11-25 07:50:28 <Diablo-D3> kernel A.
 686 2010-11-25 07:50:35 <Diablo-D3> also, fuck you evince
 687 2010-11-25 07:50:41 <Diablo-D3> shitty paste quality is shitty
 688 2010-11-25 07:50:51 <ArtForz> guess it's ok then
 689 2010-11-25 07:51:00 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: now, what ISNT guaranteed is differnet queues
 690 2010-11-25 07:51:01 <ArtForz> I thought I read the exact opposite.. weird
 691 2010-11-25 07:51:14 <Diablo-D3> it can do whatever it wants across multiple queues
 692 2010-11-25 07:51:14 <ArtForz> hrrrm.. that might've been it
 693 2010-11-25 07:51:25 <ArtForz> so techincally it should work
 694 2010-11-25 07:51:26 <Diablo-D3> thats why I took events out
 695 2010-11-25 07:51:37 <Diablo-D3> I was just chaining sub-queues internally
 696 2010-11-25 07:51:49 <Diablo-D3> when I went to thread happy shit, I just make CL do it
 697 2010-11-25 07:55:15 jrabbit has joined
 698 2010-11-25 07:56:13 <jgarzik> is there an ISA newer than ATI r600?
 699 2010-11-25 07:56:20 <ArtForz> yep
 700 2010-11-25 07:56:21 <jgarzik> http://developer.amd.com/gpu_assets/r600isa.pdf
 701 2010-11-25 07:56:25 <ArtForz> r700
 702 2010-11-25 07:56:31 <ArtForz> aka 5xxx series
 703 2010-11-25 07:56:49 <ArtForz> the docs are strewn pretty much all over AMDs site
 704 2010-11-25 07:56:57 <jgarzik> ah.  http://developer.amd.com/gpu_assets/R700-family_instruction_set_architecture.pdf
 705 2010-11-25 07:57:52 <ArtForz> sec... yep, that's it
 706 2010-11-25 07:58:43 <ArtForz> read 4.7.3 through 4.7.9
 707 2010-11-25 07:58:48 <ArtForz> read it a few more times
 708 2010-11-25 07:59:29 <Diablo-D3> whats in those sections? =P
 709 2010-11-25 07:59:36 <ArtForz> realize why the ocl compiler is having such a hard time making good use of all VLIW units
 710 2010-11-25 08:00:17 <ArtForz> GPR read/write, constant read, ... restrictions for V and T units
 711 2010-11-25 08:01:35 <ArtForz> my guess is with VLIW4 we should see well >99% ALU usage
 712 2010-11-25 08:01:54 <ArtForz> except for that small niggling fact that AMD crippled 32 bit adds
 713 2010-11-25 08:02:08 <Diablo-D3> who needs the adds anyhow >_>
 714 2010-11-25 08:02:17 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: actually that might not even matter
 715 2010-11-25 08:02:21 <jgarzik> the word I get is "harder for a compiler than ia64"
 716 2010-11-25 08:02:22 <ArtForz> = in the end VLIW4 might end up slower per-ALU than VLIW5
 717 2010-11-25 08:02:39 <ArtForz> jgarzik: yep
 718 2010-11-25 08:02:50 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: we have more pipes though
 719 2010-11-25 08:03:13 <ArtForz> compared to r600/r700 the IA64 arch looks positively easy to optimize for
 720 2010-11-25 08:04:45 <ArtForz> well, sah256 kinda has quite a few adds
 721 2010-11-25 08:08:00 <Diablo-D3> http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/sdk/1.0/docs/man/xhtml/clEnqueueNDRangeKernel.html
 722 2010-11-25 08:08:12 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: it seems for global work size the maximum is 32 bit.
 723 2010-11-25 08:08:17 <Diablo-D3> there isnt any useful way to query it
 724 2010-11-25 08:10:59 <ArtForz> btw, the add hit is quite a bit
 725 2010-11-25 08:11:25 <ArtForz> 5xxx theoretical min is 4148 ops per bchash
 726 2010-11-25 08:11:47 <ArtForz> 69xx is 5290
 727 2010-11-25 08:12:07 <Diablo-D3> I assume 68xx is the same?
 728 2010-11-25 08:12:17 <ArtForz> yep, 68xx = 5xxx
 729 2010-11-25 08:13:03 <ArtForz> 68xx has 57xx style shaders
 730 2010-11-25 08:14:15 <ArtForz> so at the same num_alus * clock 69xx should end up 27% slower than 58xx
 731 2010-11-25 08:14:35 <ArtForz> 27.5% actually
 732 2010-11-25 08:14:51 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: what about 4xxx?
 733 2010-11-25 08:15:03 <ArtForz> 6356 ops/clock
 734 2010-11-25 08:15:09 <Diablo-D3> blergh
 735 2010-11-25 08:15:16 <ArtForz> no bitalign = fail
 736 2010-11-25 08:15:38 <Diablo-D3> I may buy a 68xx after all >_>
 737 2010-11-25 08:15:53 <ArtForz> so let's see
 738 2010-11-25 08:16:08 <ArtForz> 6990 is rumored to be 3840 ALUs @ 775MHz
 739 2010-11-25 08:16:32 <ArtForz> = 2976Gops/s
 740 2010-11-25 08:16:48 <Diablo-D3> what about a 6970?
 741 2010-11-25 08:16:54 <Diablo-D3> Im not sure if I really want a dual gpu card
 742 2010-11-25 08:17:03 <ArtForz> giving ... 562.5 Mh/s theoretical peak
 743 2010-11-25 08:17:11 <Diablo-D3> thats...
 744 2010-11-25 08:17:13 <Diablo-D3> not very high at all
 745 2010-11-25 08:17:28 <ArtForz> yep
 746 2010-11-25 08:17:42 <ArtForz> 5970 is 559.3 theoretical peak ...
 747 2010-11-25 08:18:01 <Diablo-D3> those 5970 are looking mighty nice
 748 2010-11-25 08:18:23 <ArtForz> 6970 is supposed to be 1920 @ 900MHz
 749 2010-11-25 08:18:42 <ArtForz> ... 326.6Mh/s
 750 2010-11-25 08:19:12 <Diablo-D3> and what about the 5870 and the 6870?
 751 2010-11-25 08:19:14 <ArtForz> 5870 is 327.8 ...
 752 2010-11-25 08:19:31 <ArtForz> 6870 is 243.0
 753 2010-11-25 08:19:39 <Diablo-D3> huh.
 754 2010-11-25 08:19:45 <ArtForz> ... yeah
 755 2010-11-25 08:20:44 <ArtForz> 5850 is 251.7
 756 2010-11-25 08:21:04 <Diablo-D3> lowest price not shit 5870 == $280
 757 2010-11-25 08:21:39 <ArtForz> so 6870 slightly slower than 5850, 6970 about equal to 5870, 6990 about equal to 5970
 758 2010-11-25 08:21:49 <Diablo-D3> lowest price not shit 6870 == $250
 759 2010-11-25 08:22:06 <Diablo-D3> wait no
 760 2010-11-25 08:22:12 <Diablo-D3> $270
 761 2010-11-25 08:22:12 <ArtForz> 6870 is a bit slower than a 5850
 762 2010-11-25 08:22:29 <Diablo-D3> argh newegg
 763 2010-11-25 08:22:39 <Diablo-D3> lowest price not shit 6870 == $270
 764 2010-11-25 08:22:44 <ArtForz> 58 *50*, not 70
 765 2010-11-25 08:22:59 <Diablo-D3> lowest price not shit 5970 == $470
 766 2010-11-25 08:23:12 <ArtForz> 6870 also happens to have exactly the same TDP as 5850
 767 2010-11-25 08:23:34 <ArtForz> 5970s are just fucking awesome
 768 2010-11-25 08:23:54 <ArtForz> especially considering the can be OCed to 5870 clocks without much of a problem
 769 2010-11-25 08:24:17 <Diablo-D3> 5870 == 1.17 mhash per dollar
 770 2010-11-25 08:24:28 <ArtForz> and then a 5970 is ~655.7 Mh/s peak
 771 2010-11-25 08:24:54 <ArtForz> at 910 core it breaks 700Mh peak
 772 2010-11-25 08:25:08 <Diablo-D3> 6870 == 0.9 mhash per dollar
 773 2010-11-25 08:25:15 <ArtForz> yep
 774 2010-11-25 08:25:29 <ArtForz> so far 6xxx looks like total *yawn*
 775 2010-11-25 08:25:44 <Diablo-D3> 5970 == 1.39 mhash per dollar
 776 2010-11-25 08:26:07 <ArtForz> OC that 5970 and it's cheaper per Mh than a 5770 ...
 777 2010-11-25 08:26:20 <Diablo-D3> did you say what a 6850 does?
 778 2010-11-25 08:26:34 <ArtForz> not very much
 779 2010-11-25 08:26:44 <Diablo-D3> they dont cost very much
 780 2010-11-25 08:26:49 <ArtForz> 10% faster than a 5770
 781 2010-11-25 08:27:00 <Diablo-D3> so thats... what?
 782 2010-11-25 08:27:11 <ArtForz> 179.3 Mh/s
 783 2010-11-25 08:27:36 <ArtForz> 5770 is 163.9
 784 2010-11-25 08:27:39 <Diablo-D3> 6850 = 0.94 mhash/dollar at 190
 785 2010-11-25 08:28:00 <Diablo-D3> what about a 5850?
 786 2010-11-25 08:28:34 <ArtForz> ArtForz> 5850 is 251.7
 787 2010-11-25 08:28:58 <Diablo-D3> 5850 == 1.40 mhash/dollar at $180
 788 2010-11-25 08:29:57 <Diablo-D3> woah
 789 2010-11-25 08:30:08 <Diablo-D3> 5770 == 1.64 mhash/dollar at $100
 790 2010-11-25 08:30:16 <ArtForz> factor in the rest of the system and 5970 wins hands down
 791 2010-11-25 08:30:27 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: well except
 792 2010-11-25 08:30:31 <Diablo-D3> Im buying one card
 793 2010-11-25 08:30:33 <Diablo-D3> not 24
 794 2010-11-25 08:30:37 <ArtForz> so?
 795 2010-11-25 08:30:39 <Diablo-D3> or whatever it is you're up to
 796 2010-11-25 08:30:49 Kiba has joined
 797 2010-11-25 08:30:51 <Diablo-D3> so did I forget a card worth mentioning?
 798 2010-11-25 08:30:59 <ArtForz> not really
 799 2010-11-25 08:31:01 <ArtForz> still at 12, damn things are on backorder everywhere
 800 2010-11-25 08:31:21 <Diablo-D3> 5850, 5970, and 5770 seem to be the best cards here
 801 2010-11-25 08:31:27 <ArtForz> yep
 802 2010-11-25 08:31:30 <ArtForz> cheapest 5970 I could get right now is ~$700 after tax
 803 2010-11-25 08:31:52 * Kiba decides not to sleep
 804 2010-11-25 08:32:01 <Kiba> I frequent the forum far too much
 805 2010-11-25 08:32:17 <ArtForz> the cheap ones are ~$550 after tax here, and they're freaking near impossible to get
 806 2010-11-25 08:32:27 <Diablo-D3> so hrm
 807 2010-11-25 08:32:58 * Kiba is now one of the only 3 guys in the entire bitcoin forum that have more than a thousnad post
 808 2010-11-25 08:33:08 <Diablo-D3> I did 6870, I did 6850, I did 5870, I did 5850, I did 5770
 809 2010-11-25 08:33:34 <Diablo-D3> is there a 6770 yet?
 810 2010-11-25 08:33:57 <Diablo-D3> no
 811 2010-11-25 08:34:05 <ArtForz> nope ,and there probly wont be one for > 6 months
 812 2010-11-25 08:34:37 <ArtForz> 67xx is supposed to be first GPU on 28nm, Q2-Q3 '11
 813 2010-11-25 08:34:52 <Diablo-D3> my 4850 is 1000 gflops, 110 watts
 814 2010-11-25 08:35:41 <Diablo-D3> a 5850 is 2088 gflops, and 151 watts
 815 2010-11-25 08:35:46 <ArtForz> 4850 = 78.7 Mh/s peak
 816 2010-11-25 08:35:59 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: Im just considering here my future upgrade
 817 2010-11-25 08:36:03 <Diablo-D3> I want it to be a good fit as replacement
 818 2010-11-25 08:36:12 <ArtForz> just saying, 4xxx needs a lot more ops to do one hash
 819 2010-11-25 08:36:28 <jgarzik> http://cgi.ebay.com/VisionTek-ATI-Radeon-HD-5970-2GB-Video-Card-BRAND-NEW-/170569700026?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item27b6bf12ba
 820 2010-11-25 08:36:30 <jgarzik> $400
 821 2010-11-25 08:36:39 <Diablo-D3> jgarzik: visiontek sucks
 822 2010-11-25 08:36:44 <ArtForz> 5770 is EXACTLY the same Gops/s as a 4890
 823 2010-11-25 08:36:58 <Diablo-D3> 5770 is 1360 gflops at 108 watts
 824 2010-11-25 08:37:02 <Diablo-D3> so its not really worth grabbing a 5770
 825 2010-11-25 08:37:22 <Diablo-D3> [03:22:05] <Diablo-D3> 5770 == 1.64 mhash/dollar at $100
 826 2010-11-25 08:37:24 <ArtForz> welll
 827 2010-11-25 08:37:25 <Diablo-D3> [03:20:56] <Diablo-D3> 5850 == 1.40 mhash/dollar at $180
 828 2010-11-25 08:37:30 <Diablo-D3> [03:17:41] <Diablo-D3> 5970 == 1.39 mhash per dollar
 829 2010-11-25 08:37:36 <Diablo-D3> [03:16:15] <Diablo-D3> 5870 == 1.17 mhash per dollar
 830 2010-11-25 08:37:45 welterde has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
 831 2010-11-25 08:37:48 <Diablo-D3> so hrm
 832 2010-11-25 08:37:58 <ArtForz> a 5770 is still over 2x as fast for bchash than a 4850 ...
 833 2010-11-25 08:38:11 <Diablo-D3> yeah but its the same 3d performance
 834 2010-11-25 08:38:15 <Diablo-D3> so its not really worth upgrading to
 835 2010-11-25 08:38:29 <ArtForz> yep
 836 2010-11-25 08:38:51 <Diablo-D3> so 5850 seems to be the bottom contender
 837 2010-11-25 08:38:57 <ArtForz> well, if you go for 3D perf 68xx makes sense
 838 2010-11-25 08:39:15 <Diablo-D3> 5870 is 2720/188
 839 2010-11-25 08:39:19 <ArtForz> a 6870 is about == 5870 for 3d
 840 2010-11-25 08:39:20 <Diablo-D3> that doesnt seem too horriffic
 841 2010-11-25 08:39:30 <Diablo-D3> yeah, but its lower in bitcoin performance
 842 2010-11-25 08:40:08 <ArtForz> hurrm, why would someone sell a NEW 5970 for $400 ?
 843 2010-11-25 08:41:25 <Diablo-D3> I have $116.19 in my btc fund
 844 2010-11-25 08:41:37 <ArtForz> oh, and OEM cards come with NO accessories
 845 2010-11-25 08:41:47 <Diablo-D3> yeah I dont really need the fucking accessories
 846 2010-11-25 08:41:56 <Diablo-D3> I wish I could buy OEM cards through newegg

 849 2010-11-25 08:42:48 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: so hrm
 850 2010-11-25 08:43:06 <Diablo-D3> I think it may be a toss up of either 5850 or 5870
 851 2010-11-25 08:43:16 <ArtForz> dual 5770s :P
 852 2010-11-25 08:43:21 <Diablo-D3> single slot, fool
 853 2010-11-25 08:43:55 <Diablo-D3> 5870 gives me 2720, 188 watts, thats like almost 3x performance for 2x watts
 854 2010-11-25 08:44:01 <Diablo-D3> and probably not really add to the heat output any
 855 2010-11-25 08:44:21 <ArtForz> 5870 is 188W TDP, 4850 is 110W
 856 2010-11-25 08:44:29 <Diablo-D3> I said almost 2x
 857 2010-11-25 08:44:36 <ArtForz> same power bracket would be a 5770
 858 2010-11-25 08:44:40 <ArtForz> at 108W
 859 2010-11-25 08:45:00 <Diablo-D3> so hrm
 860 2010-11-25 08:45:09 <Diablo-D3> but they're fucking $250
 861 2010-11-25 08:47:41 <Diablo-D3> and $5850s are $180
 862 2010-11-25 08:47:43 <Diablo-D3> meh
 863 2010-11-25 08:47:52 * Diablo-D3 will just have to wait.
 864 2010-11-25 08:48:16 <ArtForz> GPU upgrades cost money, news at 11
 865 2010-11-25 08:49:25 <Diablo-D3> well, GPU production for me is basically dead
 866 2010-11-25 08:50:20 <ArtForz> huh?
 867 2010-11-25 08:50:38 <Kiba> seem like Diablo-D3 have a lot of problem with bitcoin mining
 868 2010-11-25 08:55:44 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: not enough mhash
 869 2010-11-25 09:00:48 <ArtForz> needs more cowb... mhash

 873 2010-11-25 09:15:13 <tylergillies> ive heard i should backup wallet after every transaction. is there a point to that? or is it just after every new keygen?
 874 2010-11-25 09:15:30 <ArtForz> thanks to keypool it's now every 100 tx
 875 2010-11-25 09:15:41 <tylergillies> keypool?
 876 2010-11-25 09:15:41 <ArtForz> or whatever you set as keypool size
 877 2010-11-25 09:15:45 <ArtForz> yep
 878 2010-11-25 09:15:55 <tylergillies> where are docs for that?
 879 2010-11-25 09:16:05 <ArtForz> somewhere on the forum
 880 2010-11-25 09:16:17 <ArtForz> = it pre-generates "random" keys and stores em in wallet
 881 2010-11-25 09:16:29 <ArtForz> and you can set how many it keeps around
 882 2010-11-25 09:16:52 <tylergillies> oh cool
 883 2010-11-25 09:16:58 <tylergillies> so default value is 100?
 884 2010-11-25 09:17:04 <ArtForz> yep
 885 2010-11-25 09:17:07 <tylergillies> thnx
 886 2010-11-25 09:20:30 <Diablo-D3> Im sad
 887 2010-11-25 09:20:38 <Diablo-D3> I havent produced any blocks yet

 900 2010-11-25 10:25:54 <Diablo-D3> it just doesnt work fast enough
 901 2010-11-25 10:25:57 <joe_1> y did u abandon me last night
 902 2010-11-25 10:26:01 <ArtForz> ?
 903 2010-11-25 10:26:26 <Diablo-D3> joe_1: your mom is hotter
 904 2010-11-25 10:26:45 <joe_1> fu
 905 2010-11-25 10:26:47 <ArtForz> oh, right, I think I still have him on ignore
 906 2010-11-25 10:26:53 <xelister> ArtForz: hi
 907 2010-11-25 10:26:56 <Diablo-D3> so
 908 2010-11-25 10:26:57 <Diablo-D3> meh
 909 2010-11-25 10:27:02 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I dunno
 910 2010-11-25 10:27:06 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I think I wasted my time
 911 2010-11-25 10:27:11 <Diablo-D3> I mean, sure, I now have the best miner ever
 912 2010-11-25 10:27:12 <ArtForz> xelister: hmm?
 913 2010-11-25 10:27:17 <Diablo-D3> but
 914 2010-11-25 10:27:19 <Diablo-D3> whats the point
 915 2010-11-25 10:27:21 <ArtForz> on a completelöy hopeless arch :P
 916 2010-11-25 10:27:29 <Diablo-D3> no
 917 2010-11-25 10:27:35 <Diablo-D3> it was written for all archs
 918 2010-11-25 10:27:46 <ArtForz> 4xxx is like half the hash/W compared to 5xxx
 919 2010-11-25 10:27:50 <Diablo-D3> I suspect the -s hack will work wonders on geforces too
 920 2010-11-25 10:27:52 <ArtForz> and you're optimizing for 4xxx ...
 921 2010-11-25 10:27:54 <Diablo-D3> but I dont know anyone that has one
 922 2010-11-25 10:27:56 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: no Im not
 923 2010-11-25 10:28:05 Remmy has joined
 924 2010-11-25 10:28:05 <Diablo-D3> what optimizations besides the split was for 4xxx?
 925 2010-11-25 10:28:27 <ArtForz> no clue
 926 2010-11-25 10:28:31 <Diablo-D3> none
 927 2010-11-25 10:28:46 <Diablo-D3> the rest was just optimizing the host code to work optimally period.
 928 2010-11-25 10:28:51 <ArtForz> btw, did you update to work with r189 getwork yet?
 929 2010-11-25 10:28:55 <Diablo-D3> no
 930 2010-11-25 10:29:00 <Diablo-D3> r189's getwork is broken
 931 2010-11-25 10:29:03 <Diablo-D3> it needs to be fixed
 932 2010-11-25 10:29:07 <ArtForz> whats broken?
 933 2010-11-25 10:29:10 <xelister> ArtForz: so 5970 needs what 8 bit cable? EPS12V ?
 934 2010-11-25 10:29:21 <ArtForz> xelister: PCIe 8pin and 6pin
 935 2010-11-25 10:29:33 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: the output is completely incompatible with m0's
 936 2010-11-25 10:29:51 <ArtForz> and there is no way to tell em apart?
 937 2010-11-25 10:29:56 <Diablo-D3> oh, there is
 938 2010-11-25 10:29:59 <Diablo-D3> one works, the other doesnt
 939 2010-11-25 10:30:08 <Diablo-D3> but Im not going to write code that Im going to just remove later
 940 2010-11-25 10:30:11 <Diablo-D3> satoshi WILL fix is
 941 2010-11-25 10:30:12 <Diablo-D3> (his
 942 2010-11-25 10:30:13 <Diablo-D3> period
 943 2010-11-25 10:30:19 <ArtForz> satoshis is imo coded a lot cleaner than m0s getwork
 944 2010-11-25 10:30:21 <Diablo-D3> if he doesnt, then say goodbye to mining
 945 2010-11-25 10:30:21 <xelister> ArtForz: so PCIe power cables are end with black plugs right? I have only 2 x 6 pin black-socket-ended cable... dont have 8 pin at all.
 946 2010-11-25 10:30:31 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I dont give a shit if he coded it cleaner
 947 2010-11-25 10:30:54 <Diablo-D3> xelister: you can convert molex plugs into 8 pin
 948 2010-11-25 10:31:01 <Diablo-D3> xelister: just buy the converters
 949 2010-11-25 10:31:17 <ArtForz> just make sure your PSU rails are beefy enough
 950 2010-11-25 10:31:24 <xelister> Diablo-D3: I wonder if I do not need a nowe PSU. Anyway this one is just 550 W
 951 2010-11-25 10:31:31 <ArtForz> 5970 seems to like to pull most of its power through the 8pin
 952 2010-11-25 10:31:32 <Diablo-D3> xelister: 550 isnt enough
 953 2010-11-25 10:31:45 <xelister> Diablo-D3: well not neseserly, it depends on the rails
 954 2010-11-25 10:31:51 <ArtForz> 550W for a 5970 is asking for trouble
 955 2010-11-25 10:31:58 <xelister> good 550 W > 700 W psu afaik
 956 2010-11-25 10:31:58 <ArtForz> stock 5970 = 300W
 957 2010-11-25 10:32:09 <ArtForz> decent CPU = 110W
 958 2010-11-25 10:32:32 <xelister> so PCI-e 8 pin power is 5 V ? and takes from the 5 V rail?
 959 2010-11-25 10:32:49 <xelister> and CPU take from the 12 V rail, right?
 960 2010-11-25 10:32:50 <ArtForz> thats 410W on +12 alone, without chipset, ram, Hd or DVD drive
 961 2010-11-25 10:33:20 <Diablo-D3> xelister: upgrade to that one corsair I found
 962 2010-11-25 10:33:40 <Diablo-D3> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015
 963 2010-11-25 10:33:42 <ArtForz> some DVD drives pull >30W on +12 when spinning up
 964 2010-11-25 10:33:43 <Diablo-D3> vrrrrrm
 965 2010-11-25 10:33:48 <xelister> but a decent PSU will cost like 200 USD it seems
 966 2010-11-25 10:33:51 <ArtForz> nope
 967 2010-11-25 10:33:57 <Diablo-D3> has 4x 6+2 plugs
 968 2010-11-25 10:33:59 <Diablo-D3> and 850 watts
 969 2010-11-25 10:34:05 <Diablo-D3> and is modular
 970 2010-11-25 10:34:09 <xelister> THIS ALL SUCK DONKEY BALLS
 971 2010-11-25 10:34:10 <ArtForz> a decent PSU for one or two 5970s is < $100
 972 2010-11-25 10:34:11 * xelister rages quits
 973 2010-11-25 10:34:15 <xelister> no wait, this is real life.
 974 2010-11-25 10:34:20 * Diablo-D3 ragequits xelister 
 975 2010-11-25 10:34:22 <ArtForz> decent as in "wont blow up after 10 seconds"
 976 2010-11-25 10:34:29 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: meh
 977 2010-11-25 10:34:45 <Diablo-D3> I wouldnt mind that corsair
 978 2010-11-25 10:34:50 <xelister> so PCI-E, both 6 and 8 pin, takes from 12 V rail?
 979 2010-11-25 10:34:54 <Diablo-D3> xelister: yes
 980 2010-11-25 10:34:54 <ArtForz> yup
 981 2010-11-25 10:35:00 <Diablo-D3> xelister: oh, and thats a single rail psu there
 982 2010-11-25 10:35:05 <Diablo-D3> so no needing to deal with fucking bullshit
 983 2010-11-25 10:35:14 <xelister> are there PSUs that have 2 rails for 12 V ?
 984 2010-11-25 10:35:22 <Diablo-D3> xelister: BAD
 985 2010-11-25 10:35:26 <Diablo-D3> >1 rail is shit psu
 986 2010-11-25 10:35:26 <ArtForz> 2, 3, 4, 6, 8
 987 2010-11-25 10:35:29 <ArtForz> nope
 988 2010-11-25 10:35:33 <Diablo-D3> more rails == more fail
 989 2010-11-25 10:35:36 <ArtForz> multirail is actually noit a BAD idea
 990 2010-11-25 10:35:49 <ArtForz> take a single rail PSU, pull 50A through a single molex
 991 2010-11-25 10:36:00 <ArtForz> oh look, glowing wires
 992 2010-11-25 10:36:05 <Diablo-D3> yes, but you have to intelligently load balance your rails
 993 2010-11-25 10:36:06 <xelister> which is better then? I have 1... say 2 x 5970, up to 6 hdd, strong intell quadcore, 4 ram banks, dvd recorder
 994 2010-11-25 10:36:21 <xelister> what exactly PSU config I need, in rails power?
 995 2010-11-25 10:36:39 <Diablo-D3> xelister: I have that, but single 4850 and a intel dual core
 996 2010-11-25 10:36:40 <xelister> 12V: 350(*2) W for radeons,  plus... 30 W per hard-drive ?
 997 2010-11-25 10:36:42 <Diablo-D3> xelister: and I use 350 real
 998 2010-11-25 10:36:48 <ArtForz> on any decent multirail design you can load any plug to ... well.. whatever the rail limit is, and nothing will catch fire
 999 2010-11-25 10:36:57 <Diablo-D3> xelister: so you need like 700 real
1000 2010-11-25 10:37:21 <xelister> well 700 W real on 12 V single-rail is just the radeons, the CPU we said is like 100
1001 2010-11-25 10:37:27 <xelister> so 850 W on real 12 V ?
1002 2010-11-25 10:37:27 <ArtForz> yep
1003 2010-11-25 10:37:59 <ArtForz> = for dual 5970s a 1kW PSU is a pretty good idea
1004 2010-11-25 10:38:06 <xelister> sata hard drives use what rail?  it says sata power use all 3V 5V 12V
1005 2010-11-25 10:38:18 <ArtForz> all 3.5" HDs use 12V for the motor
1006 2010-11-25 10:38:22 <ArtForz> so do DVD drives
1007 2010-11-25 10:38:34 <xelister> so 12 V mostly
1008 2010-11-25 10:38:38 <ArtForz> yep
1009 2010-11-25 10:38:39 <xelister> one hdd... 20 W ?
1010 2010-11-25 10:38:44 <Diablo-D3> xelister: no
1011 2010-11-25 10:38:46 <ArtForz> ~ 10W normally
1012 2010-11-25 10:38:50 <ArtForz> 30W+ when spinning up
1013 2010-11-25 10:38:50 <Diablo-D3> around 10
1014 2010-11-25 10:38:59 <Diablo-D3> yeah, but staggered spin up fixes that
1015 2010-11-25 10:39:09 <ArtForz> staggered spinup? in ma consumer box? on what planet?
1016 2010-11-25 10:39:18 <Diablo-D3> sata does it
1017 2010-11-25 10:39:36 <xelister> also what if all hard drives wake up from sleep in same time. yeah better be safe then sorry with hdds
1018 2010-11-25 10:39:37 <ArtForz> did you test it with onboard and cheap fakeraid controllers?
1019 2010-11-25 10:39:45 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: yes
1020 2010-11-25 10:39:55 <xelister> btw what hapens on overload? someone doesnt get power and GPU / hdd powers off, or something catches fire
1021 2010-11-25 10:40:04 <Diablo-D3> xelister: on a good psu? it shuts down
1022 2010-11-25 10:40:15 <Diablo-D3> on a bad psu? shit catches fire.
1023 2010-11-25 10:40:25 <xelister> lol
1024 2010-11-25 10:40:27 <ArtForz> on a good psu: it blows up
1025 2010-11-25 10:40:29 <xelister> for real? cool
1026 2010-11-25 10:40:33 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: not true
1027 2010-11-25 10:40:40 <Diablo-D3> unless it arcs for no fucking reason
1028 2010-11-25 10:40:40 * xelister keeps fire extinguisher around
1029 2010-11-25 10:40:43 <ArtForz> on a bad psu: it blows up and takes out everything
1030 2010-11-25 10:40:58 <xelister> I should buy halogen one.
1031 2010-11-25 10:41:00 <Diablo-D3> unless you're doing like 4x what the PSU can do
1032 2010-11-25 10:41:08 <ArtForz> nope, "only" 110%
1033 2010-11-25 10:41:20 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: I've tripped PSUs before
1034 2010-11-25 10:41:24 <ArtForz> ... for a few hours ... at 45°C ambient
1035 2010-11-25 10:41:27 <xelister> ArtForz: you use halogen extinguishers?  really should ;)
1036 2010-11-25 10:41:27 <Diablo-D3> they just shut off with no damage
1037 2010-11-25 10:41:29 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: lol
1038 2010-11-25 10:41:42 <Diablo-D3> xelister: dude, you cant buy a halogen extinguisher
1039 2010-11-25 10:41:57 <ArtForz> and BLAM said the switching transistor in the active PFC
1040 2010-11-25 10:42:11 <Diablo-D3> xelister: just use a fucking normal C02
1041 2010-11-25 10:42:19 <Diablo-D3> er CO2
1042 2010-11-25 10:42:23 <ArtForz> yeah, just get co2
1043 2010-11-25 10:42:24 <xelister> Diablo-D3: and all electornics is ruined isnt it
1044 2010-11-25 10:42:30 <ArtForz> huh? wtf?
1045 2010-11-25 10:42:31 <xelister> well sure you CAN buy
1046 2010-11-25 10:42:37 <ArtForz> it's fucking carbon dioxide
1047 2010-11-25 10:42:39 <Diablo-D3> xelister: you need a license for halogen extinguishers iirc
1048 2010-11-25 10:42:47 <xelister> you can even buy RPG if you really want to
1049 2010-11-25 10:43:12 <ArtForz> overtemp didnt trip, overload didnt trip, nothing, it just went boom
1050 2010-11-25 10:43:19 <xelister> or buy children if you are with the government. or rights to grope children - just work with TSA. or to kill peopolel ,just join the army ;) </offtopic>

1066 2010-11-25 10:44:21 <Diablo-D3> true
1067 2010-11-25 10:44:24 <xelister> except shit
1068 2010-11-25 10:44:24 <Diablo-D3> I miss my silencers :<
1069 2010-11-25 10:44:28 <Diablo-D3> best psu ever
1070 2010-11-25 10:44:33 <Diablo-D3> fucking whores
1071 2010-11-25 10:44:35 <Diablo-D3> they sold out to ocz
1072 2010-11-25 10:44:37 <ArtForz> unless you get a $300+ industrial PSU RATED for 24/7 at full load
1073 2010-11-25 10:44:40 <Diablo-D3> nuke china
1074 2010-11-25 10:44:47 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: yeah but they never have the good shit
1075 2010-11-25 10:45:03 <xelister> so I need 650 W on 12V single-rail for single radeon,  and 1000 W for same for double, correct?
1076 2010-11-25 10:45:08 <ArtForz> what?
1077 2010-11-25 10:45:12 <xelister> anything other to pay attention to when buying PSU?
1078 2010-11-25 10:45:14 <Diablo-D3> xelister: no
1079 2010-11-25 10:45:27 <Diablo-D3> xelister: you need ~600 watts for 2x 5970
1080 2010-11-25 10:45:34 <xelister> 40*5 + 350*1 + 100 = 650 W,   5 hard drives, radeon, cpu
1081 2010-11-25 10:45:38 <ArtForz> stock
1082 2010-11-25 10:45:49 <Diablo-D3> so a 850w psu SHOULD do what you want
1083 2010-11-25 10:45:55 <ArtForz> a OCed 5970 is 350-400W
1084 2010-11-25 10:46:10 <xelister> Im probably not going to OC, btw
1085 2010-11-25 10:46:22 <ArtForz> then 300W per 5970
1086 2010-11-25 10:46:23 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: well like, too many PSUs dont have fucking pci-e plugs
1087 2010-11-25 10:46:27 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: or not enough of them
1088 2010-11-25 10:46:27 <xelister> so what, 650 on 12 rail is too high?
1089 2010-11-25 10:46:40 <xelister> count just 20 for hdds?
1090 2010-11-25 10:46:51 <xelister> then 550 on 12V rail
1091 2010-11-25 10:46:53 <Diablo-D3> xelister: you could do like 800 watts on a 12v rail if your PSU is beefy enough

1095 2010-11-25 10:47:00 <Diablo-D3> I mean hell
1096 2010-11-25 10:47:03 <Diablo-D3> look at that
1097 2010-11-25 10:47:15 <Diablo-D3> 1200 watts == the maximum you're going to get out of a 15 amp plug
1098 2010-11-25 10:47:16 <xelister> no, Im asking,  how I should describe the PSU I need
1099 2010-11-25 10:47:22 <Diablo-D3> xelister: you need a 850 watt psu.
1100 2010-11-25 10:47:30 <Diablo-D3> Ive told you this three fucking times
1101 2010-11-25 10:47:52 <xelister> Diablo-D3: Im not going to ask about stock W power in the name like a noob, but about the 12 V rail power
1102 2010-11-25 10:47:54 <ArtForz> 850W? loaded to 600W 24/7? you like living on the edge...
1103 2010-11-25 10:48:11 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: only if he doesnt load the CPU
1104 2010-11-25 10:48:21 <Diablo-D3> if he does, meh.
1105 2010-11-25 10:48:28 <Diablo-D3> get that 1200 watt PSU
1106 2010-11-25 10:48:31 <ArtForz> well, with cpu loaded it's closer to 700W laod
1107 2010-11-25 10:48:31 <Diablo-D3> its only like $300
1108 2010-11-25 10:48:50 <xelister> so should I count 40 or 20 W per sata hdd on a normal PC?
1109 2010-11-25 10:48:53 <Diablo-D3> $278
1110 2010-11-25 10:48:58 <Diablo-D3> xelister: 10.
1111 2010-11-25 10:49:03 <xelister> will it do delayed spin up really?
1112 2010-11-25 10:49:07 <Diablo-D3> remember they use 5v too
1113 2010-11-25 10:49:45 <ArtForz> and btw, that corsair lowks like a CWT
1114 2010-11-25 10:50:04 <xelister> 5hdd, 1 radeon, CPU, NIC:  10*5 + 350*1 + 120   = 520 W on 12 V rail.
1115 2010-11-25 10:50:31 <xelister> so 520 W psu, with 6 and 8 pin PCI-e power calbes long enough to reach radeon.  Is this correct?  Anythiong else to ask for in the radeon?
1116 2010-11-25 10:50:34 <xelister> in the psu
1117 2010-11-25 10:50:38 <ArtForz> if it is what I think it is, it's crap

1121 2010-11-25 10:56:51 <ArtForz> $280 for that piece of junk is a sad joke

1133 2010-11-25 11:16:45 <xelister> what 80+ rating?
1134 2010-11-25 11:16:59 <ArtForz> exactly
1135 2010-11-25 11:17:03 <ArtForz> what 80+ rating
1136 2010-11-25 11:17:27 <xelister> I mean, what is "80+ rating" :)
1137 2010-11-25 11:17:47 <ArtForz> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_PLUS
1138 2010-11-25 11:18:02 <xelister> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_PLUS
1139 2010-11-25 11:18:06 <xelister> ah. yeah
1140 2010-11-25 11:18:33 <ArtForz> the interesting part about 80+ certification is that they measure efficiency at 20, 50 and 100% rated load
1141 2010-11-25 11:19:08 <ArtForz> = to survive testing PSU has to be able to handle 100% rated load at least for a short time
1142 2010-11-25 11:19:26 <xelister> tacens radix 4, 600 W
1143 2010-11-25 11:20:27 <ArtForz> that should be a HEC oem
1144 2010-11-25 11:21:40 <xelister> that looks ok for 1x5970 + 6 harddries + intel quadcore ?  http://www.testseek.com/computers/powersupply/tacens_radix_4_600w-p-ce1daca4-7364-f223-bfaa-d99d0ad5f4ad.html
1145 2010-11-25 11:21:44 <ArtForz> it's a oem of the cheap/crap HEXs, stay away
1146 2010-11-25 11:21:49 <ArtForz> *HECs
1147 2010-11-25 11:22:30 <xelister> why? what is HEC, a vendor?   why stay clar
1148 2010-11-25 11:22:39 <ArtForz> manufacturer
1149 2010-11-25 11:23:01 <ArtForz> most PSU "vendors" just label the same stuff coming from maybe a dozen actual mfgs
1150 2010-11-25 11:23:58 <xelister> so why they are "bad"?
1151 2010-11-25 11:24:08 <xelister> or, what manufacturers are ok
1152 2010-11-25 11:24:37 <ArtForz> HEC isn't really bad
1153 2010-11-25 11:24:43 <ArtForz> they procude *some* decent models
1154 2010-11-25 11:24:49 <ArtForz> their 600W isn't one of them
1155 2010-11-25 11:25:34 <xelister> so.. better ask for some corsair cpu?
1156 2010-11-25 11:26:09 <xelister> btw, it is not possible to power the GPU alone from /another/ PSU then the rest of computer? ;)
1157 2010-11-25 11:26:15 <ArtForz> it is
1158 2010-11-25 11:26:26 <ArtForz> my 4x5970 is rig powered by 2 1kW PSUs
1159 2010-11-25 11:26:34 <xelister> hm
1160 2010-11-25 11:26:51 <xelister> so perhaps this is what I should be doing
1161 2010-11-25 11:27:12 <xelister> leave box as-is and just throw in separate PSU to handle 300 W on 12 V rail
1162 2010-11-25 11:27:28 <ArtForz> I'd just get a 80+ bronze or better rated 1kW
1163 2010-11-25 11:27:46 <xelister> 1kW for my SINGLE 5970 setup?
1164 2010-11-25 11:49:14 MT`AwAy is now known as zz_MT`AwAy
1165 2010-11-25 11:50:06 zz_MT`AwAy is now known as MT`AwAy
1166 2010-11-25 12:20:21 <xelister> how to use testnet? will the same wallet be used?
1167 2010-11-25 12:23:33 <MT`AwAy> xelister: not the same wallet
1168 2010-11-25 12:23:37 <MT`AwAy> to use it, run bitcoin with option -testnet
1169 2010-11-25 12:24:07 <MT`AwAy> test bitcoin addresses use a different "version"
1170 2010-11-25 12:24:22 <xelister> it takes a while to downlad the blocks
1171 2010-11-25 12:24:28 <MT`AwAy> of course, since nobody is on testnet
1172 2010-11-25 12:24:45 * MT`AwAy connects to testnet
1173 2010-11-25 12:24:59 <MT`AwAy> xelister: if you want some test coins I can send that too
1174 2010-11-25 12:25:23 <MT`AwAy> (got a few :p )
1175 2010-11-25 12:26:00 <xelister> woo ;)
1176 2010-11-25 12:26:03 <xelister> Im mostly testing the miner
1177 2010-11-25 12:26:40 <MT`AwAy> then if you have too many coins, send them to me or to the faucet ;)
1178 2010-11-25 12:26:52 <MT`AwAy> http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/TEST/ <- test faucet
1179 2010-11-25 12:27:05 <xelister> how many blocks on testnet?
1180 2010-11-25 12:27:17 <MT`AwAy> 17027
1181 2010-11-25 12:27:34 <MT`AwAy> difficulty got rather high because of someone else testing a miner there recently
1182 2010-11-25 12:27:50 <MT`AwAy> so current rate of block generation is rather low :(
1183 2010-11-25 12:39:51 <tcatm> you can run your own testnet at difficulty 1/8
1184 2010-11-25 12:40:52 <xelister> ****** Block 1 found on Juniper at 1:30:50 PM
1185 2010-11-25 12:40:53 <xelister> ****** Block 2 found on Juniper at 1:31:05 PM

1190 2010-11-25 13:03:11 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: you know what I find hilarious?
1191 2010-11-25 13:03:28 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: 80 Plus was designed by Antec attack to attack PC Power
1192 2010-11-25 13:03:45 <Diablo-D3> ArtForz: PC Power merely put 80 Plus logos on all their PSUs without any design changes because they already exceeded 80% efficiency
1193 2010-11-25 13:05:12 <UukGoblin> are antecs any good btw? I cam't see any rating on them...
1194 2010-11-25 13:05:39 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: they're shit
1195 2010-11-25 13:05:56 <Diablo-D3> and antec cases outside the p180/p190 family are shit
1196 2010-11-25 13:06:19 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: well no, their PSUs arent _total_ shit
1197 2010-11-25 13:06:21 <Diablo-D3> I can name worse vendors
1198 2010-11-25 13:06:25 <UukGoblin> shit as in inefficient?
1199 2010-11-25 13:06:31 <Diablo-D3> oh no, very efficient
1200 2010-11-25 13:06:44 <Diablo-D3> they were the second company to build consumer 80+% efficiency PSUs
1201 2010-11-25 13:06:53 <UukGoblin> so what's shit about them?
1202 2010-11-25 13:06:54 <Diablo-D3> like I said, they made the 80 Plus program to attack PC Power
1203 2010-11-25 13:06:58 <Diablo-D3> they're not made well
1204 2010-11-25 13:07:00 <UukGoblin> ah right
1205 2010-11-25 13:07:03 <Diablo-D3> they tend to fail for no reason
1206 2010-11-25 13:07:12 <UukGoblin> hm.
1207 2010-11-25 13:07:21 <Diablo-D3> failure rates are below truly shit brands, but the fact the rate exists makes me not want to buy them
1208 2010-11-25 13:07:37 <Diablo-D3> their highest end series probably is okay though
1209 2010-11-25 13:07:47 <UukGoblin> I've got a 1kW one
1210 2010-11-25 13:07:49 <Diablo-D3> they're probably like 2nd or 3rd best
1211 2010-11-25 13:07:55 <UukGoblin> it looks nice, but I haven't looked inside
1212 2010-11-25 13:08:07 <Diablo-D3> their EA ones are fffffffffff
1213 2010-11-25 13:08:12 <UukGoblin> and I'm only gonna use about 600W max
1214 2010-11-25 13:08:21 <Diablo-D3> the truepower family isnt _that_ bad
1215 2010-11-25 13:09:07 <UukGoblin> yeah, I have CP-1000
1216 2010-11-25 13:09:23 <UukGoblin> but thinking of buying some lower rated ones too...
1217 2010-11-25 13:09:56 <Diablo-D3> well, I would NOT buy a ocz, the new pc powers after ocz bought them and fucked veverything up, rosewill...
1218 2010-11-25 13:10:13 <Diablo-D3> nor coolermaster, nor anything with a fucking lighted fan
1219 2010-11-25 13:10:20 <Diablo-D3> seasonics are okay
1220 2010-11-25 13:10:25 <Diablo-D3> corsairs are okay
1221 2010-11-25 13:10:43 <Diablo-D3> zalman makes great fans and cooling shit, but their psus are rebranded chiese shit
1222 2010-11-25 13:10:48 <Diablo-D3> xfx is shit

1224 2010-11-25 13:11:07 <Diablo-D3> and silverstone is fine but overpriced
1225 2010-11-25 13:11:29 <Diablo-D3> and thermaltake is shit
1226 2010-11-25 13:11:33 <Diablo-D3> and kingwin is shit
1227 2010-11-25 13:11:43 <UukGoblin> that's some research you've done :-]
1228 2010-11-25 13:11:51 <Diablo-D3> and all those bizzaro chinese brands like startech and sparkle and whoever else are shit
1229 2010-11-25 13:12:01 <Diablo-D3> I mean, sparkle? I dont like PSUs that sparkle
1230 2010-11-25 13:12:27 <UukGoblin> lol
1231 2010-11-25 13:12:37 <Diablo-D3> thats indicative of a bad problem
1232 2010-11-25 13:12:42 <UukGoblin> hm, they have some corsairs in kikatek.com, they're more expensive than antecs
1233 2010-11-25 13:13:12 <Diablo-D3> corsairs seem to be the defacto #1 now
1234 2010-11-25 13:13:14 bertodsera has joined
1235 2010-11-25 13:13:35 <UukGoblin> thanks, will look into them then :-]
1236 2010-11-25 13:14:10 <Diablo-D3> if my pc power goes, its going to probably be a toss up between seasonic and corsair
1237 2010-11-25 13:15:08 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: those corsair AX series look nice though
1238 2010-11-25 13:15:25 <Diablo-D3> and I dont like how silverstone goes 12v rail happy

1241 2010-11-25 13:19:37 <UukGoblin> they only have CX, HX, TX and VX. I wonder what the difference is.
1242 2010-11-25 13:19:52 <Diablo-D3> price and quality
1243 2010-11-25 13:19:55 <UukGoblin> ah sorry they do have AXs
1244 2010-11-25 13:20:33 <Diablo-D3> AX is kind of absurd
1245 2010-11-25 13:22:17 <Diablo-D3> UukGoblin: something like 6 pci-e 6/8 pin plugs
1246 2010-11-25 13:22:24 <Diablo-D3> with two pins that clip off
1247 2010-11-25 13:22:42 <Diablo-D3> theres only one problem with them all
1248 2010-11-25 13:22:50 <Diablo-D3> fucking 120mm fan
1249 2010-11-25 13:22:57 <Diablo-D3> _why the fuck do these homos keep doing this_

1254 2010-11-25 13:37:18 <Diablo-D3> but all fucking psus do it now
1255 2010-11-25 13:37:22 <Diablo-D3> so you cant really fight that
1256 2010-11-25 13:38:23 <UukGoblin> you mean that it's mounted horizontally below the PSU rather than vertically at the back?
1257 2010-11-25 13:39:00 <Diablo-D3> yeah
1258 2010-11-25 13:39:15 <Diablo-D3> the at/atx design was meant for a 80mm fan oriented correctly
1259 2010-11-25 13:39:21 <UukGoblin> the antec cp-1000 has it properly then ;-]
1260 2010-11-25 13:40:05 <Diablo-D3> LOL
1261 2010-11-25 13:40:08 <Diablo-D3> I just looked at it

1263 2010-11-25 13:40:21 <Diablo-D3> thats hax
1264 2010-11-25 13:40:29 <Diablo-D3> an externally mounted fan

1268 2010-11-25 13:40:51 <UukGoblin> it's also a bit bulkier than our case

1280 2010-11-25 14:13:27 <xelister> you think a 600 W "by the name" PSU with 1 rail design will be fine with 5970 (350 W @12V) + quadcore(afair 100 W@12V)
1281 2010-11-25 14:16:34 <Diablo-D3> no
1282 2010-11-25 14:16:41 <Diablo-D3> 850.

1331 2010-11-25 16:13:23 <Diablo-D3> [10:47:16] <hippich_> what could be wrong with open ports? it get 8 connections, so i believe firewall and stuff like this is fine.

1342 2010-11-25 16:16:31 <hippich_> what is the name of irc channel where bitcoin looks for peers?
1343 2010-11-25 16:17:19 <Kiba> we broke record today
1344 2010-11-25 16:17:27 <Kiba> now November have more posts than anybody
1345 2010-11-25 16:18:21 <Diablo-D3> hippich_: I think #bitcoin
1346 2010-11-25 16:19:07 <hippich_> just ~15 peers there i think. the rest - real users.
1347 2010-11-25 16:19:31 <hippich_> too bad. i thought there is much more nodes.
1348 2010-11-25 16:21:43 <Kiba> THE RISE OF THE SENTINMENT BITCOIN NODES
1349 2010-11-25 16:22:20 <Kiba> hippich_: what's next on your ubitio.us todo list?
1350 2010-11-25 16:22:23 <Kiba> did you break even yet?
1351 2010-11-25 16:22:58 <hippich_> well. next my todo - is to get to my freelance projects. otherwise i will not have money to do my hobby projects =))

1353 2010-11-25 16:25:21 <hippich_> i think about adding preview functionality - to automatically recognize images/videos and do (hideable) thumbnail.
1354 2010-11-25 16:25:29 <hippich_> also, i need to add accounts.
1355 2010-11-25 16:25:32 <hippich_> next - API.

1361 2010-11-25 16:47:26 <anarchy_> its prob been mentioned before
1362 2010-11-25 16:47:40 <anarchy_> if you have a place where you can easily buy bitcoins with credit card/paypal etc
1363 2010-11-25 16:47:54 <anarchy_> people want to use it on gambling sites
1364 2010-11-25 16:48:02 <anarchy_> if gambling sites accept it.. the volume would be huge
1365 2010-11-25 16:48:12 <anarchy_> cause its not legal for americans to pay with visa/mastercard on gambling sites
1366 2010-11-25 16:49:52 <tcatm> Looks like someone is spamming mtgox?
1367 2010-11-25 16:52:51 <Kiba> I see.

1369 2010-11-25 16:54:14 <Kiba> I posted a scan of F. A. Hayek
1370 2010-11-25 16:54:19 <Kiba> we'll see how much download it will get
1371 2010-11-25 16:59:19 <anarchy_> ill buy it
1372 2010-11-25 16:59:55 <xelister> what is chance of getting a block that will later be rejected?
1373 2010-11-25 17:00:05 <xelister> i.e. not accepted as main tree, like because of a collision?
1374 2010-11-25 17:00:13 <tcatm> xelister: very small
1375 2010-11-25 17:00:16 <xelister> like 1% of generated blocks? less?
1376 2010-11-25 17:00:55 <tcatm> depends on how good your miner is connected to the network
1377 2010-11-25 17:01:04 <anarchy_> i just bought a $50 gift card on http://www.bitcoin2cc.com/
1378 2010-11-25 17:01:08 <anarchy_> works like a charm

1382 2010-11-25 17:01:42 <xelister> it should be not higher then 1% right?

1384 2010-11-25 17:03:19 <tcatm> xelister: 4 connections isn't much. could be higher than 1% in that case
1385 2010-11-25 17:04:00 <tcatm> it takes about 2 minutes for a block to spread all over the network

1391 2010-11-25 17:23:06 <nanotube> anarchy_: there is a site like that in the works, bitcoingateway.com. it was briefly up for the past couple days as a beta test, now down for a few days for bug-fix
1392 2010-11-25 17:23:20 <nanotube> what's happening with mtgox, all those .004 trades?
1393 2010-11-25 17:23:43 <tcatm> nanotube: most likely spam
1394 2010-11-25 17:24:03 <nanotube> tcatm: yes but... isn't his minimum tx size 10 btc? so how is it possible?
1395 2010-11-25 17:24:26 <tcatm> maybe it's only a javascript check?
1396 2010-11-25 17:25:00 <nanotube> tcatm: well, that'd be... bad site design. :) and i'd hope the btc withdrawal form isn't a javascript-only check
1397 2010-11-25 17:25:10 <nanotube> otherwise... /me goes to withdraw 100k btc from mtgox :P
1398 2010-11-25 17:25:27 <Kiba> so you're sleling 100K btc?
1399 2010-11-25 17:25:49 <tcatm> nanotube: yes, mtgox isn't really well designed
1400 2010-11-25 17:26:21 <Kiba> n0body does the same thing as mtgox does though
1401 2010-11-25 17:26:23 <nanotube> Kiba: no, i don't even have 100k btc. nowhere near. but with a form size check hole, i could try to withdraw it. :)
1402 2010-11-25 17:26:27 <Kiba> imagine we have no mtgox!
1403 2010-11-25 17:26:33 <nanotube> tcatm: mmmm
1404 2010-11-25 17:27:13 <tcatm> my next project after bitcoincharts is an exchange
1405 2010-11-25 17:27:24 <Kiba> open source exchange?

1431 2010-11-25 18:13:35 <nanotube> 1000 of those are yours, i bet :D
1432 2010-11-25 18:14:15 <Kiba> nanotube: impossible
1433 2010-11-25 18:14:22 <Kiba> considering that I only have a thousand posts by now
1434 2010-11-25 18:14:42 <Kiba> I would need to make 33.33 posts a day
1435 2010-11-25 18:14:45 <Kiba> to reach a thousand post
1436 2010-11-25 18:14:50 <Kiba> an impossible task I might say
1437 2010-11-25 18:15:17 <nanotube> hehe
1438 2010-11-25 18:15:33 <Kiba> I'll catch up to noagendamarket at the rate I am posting
1439 2010-11-25 18:15:54 <Kiba> 7.8 posts per day compared to noagendamarket's 6.4 posts per day
1440 2010-11-25 18:17:03 <nanotube> heh don't forget that it's about quality, not quantity. :)
1441 2010-11-25 18:18:11 <Kiba> perhaps, but I am responsible for starting two fundraiser, a few bounties...
1442 2010-11-25 18:18:17 <Kiba> I don't even offer the most bitcoins
1443 2010-11-25 18:18:46 <Kiba> my job is primary
1444 2010-11-25 18:18:53 <Kiba> to be a pestering annoying person
1445 2010-11-25 18:19:03 <Kiba> who keep asking you "How's progress?"
1446 2010-11-25 18:19:29 <nanotube> Kiba: hey, i'm not trying to imply anything about the quality of your posts. :) it was just a general statement.
1447 2010-11-25 18:19:54 <nanotube> wow, bitcoin-market is really being spammed with micro-tx from mtgox
1448 2010-11-25 18:20:02 <nanotube> i emailed mtgox about it.
1449 2010-11-25 18:20:05 <Kiba> #bitcoin-market ?
1450 2010-11-25 18:20:09 <nanotube> yep
1451 2010-11-25 18:20:31 <Kiba> somebody buying and selling?
1452 2010-11-25 18:20:33 <nanotube> hehe, it stopped as soon as you joined. :P
1453 2010-11-25 18:20:46 <nanotube> Kiba: dunno... just hundreds of transactions of .004 btc coming through.
1454 2010-11-25 18:20:46 <Kiba> well, they're losing money to mtgox anyway
1455 2010-11-25 18:21:04 <nanotube> ah, there goes the spam started up again
1456 2010-11-25 18:21:14 <Kiba> all that does is make mtgox rich
1457 2010-11-25 18:21:51 <nanotube> well, true, there is the tx fee that mtgox charges. :) but note that even 1000 of these .004 tx is only a total of 4 btc. mtgox makes .65% of that. not making mtgox much of anything.
1458 2010-11-25 18:22:02 <nanotube> so the guy is filling up mtgox's database, at almost zero cost to him.
1459 2010-11-25 18:23:07 <Kiba> maybe it's the same guy who is poking security holes in the bitcoin network
1460 2010-11-25 18:23:23 <nanotube> maybe. if so, he's doing a good job.
1461 2010-11-25 18:23:59 <nanotube> i hope satoshi pushes a new tx fee schedule, where min tx fee is like 1/10 of minimum tx amount. (so currently, .001). that way tx spam becomes costly.
1462 2010-11-25 18:24:19 <nanotube> and i know that after this mtgox will patch whatever hole he has that allows this guy to spam tx as well.
1463 2010-11-25 18:24:26 <nanotube> so it's all for the good of the bitcoin network.
1464 2010-11-25 18:25:44 * Kiba remember a firefox fan who won a check and got on national news because he's young
1465 2010-11-25 18:26:09 <Kiba> all my ubitious activity is profitable
1466 2010-11-25 18:26:25 <Kiba> it's easy to make money when your investment is only .02 and that you only need 3 downloaders to pay off
1467 2010-11-25 18:26:28 <Kiba> and earn a profit
1468 2010-11-25 18:26:34 <Kiba> but it's soooooooooooooo small
1469 2010-11-25 18:27:07 <nanotube> indeed... doesn't seem like a profitable time investment. unless you enjoy drawing anyway, so would do it even without the profit possibility.
1470 2010-11-25 18:27:27 <Kiba> I enjoy drawing
1471 2010-11-25 18:27:39 <Kiba> profit motive just make me draw everyday and practicing my craft
1472 2010-11-25 18:27:45 <Kiba> but it's more of a prosumer hobby
1473 2010-11-25 18:27:59 <Kiba> profit is more of scorekeeping
1474 2010-11-25 18:28:04 <Kiba> rather than being "real serious"
1475 2010-11-25 18:28:16 <Kiba> producing things of value is a hobby
1476 2010-11-25 18:30:09 <nanotube> cool
1477 2010-11-25 18:30:55 <Kiba> anyway, the more I draw, the more fans I collect
1478 2010-11-25 18:31:04 <Kiba> the more fans I collect, the more downloads I get
1479 2010-11-25 18:31:07 <Kiba> the more profit I get
1480 2010-11-25 18:31:42 <Kiba> if I have 100 fans, I get 0.01 BTC
1481 2010-11-25 18:31:46 <Kiba> err
1482 2010-11-25 18:31:47 <Kiba> 1 BTC
1483 2010-11-25 18:34:52 <xelister> Kiba: wanna be famous and get 100 BTC?
1484 2010-11-25 18:35:37 <xelister> do you have webcam and sexy looks of a young chick <_<
1485 2010-11-25 18:36:12 <Kiba> I am not sexy
1486 2010-11-25 18:36:13 <nanotube> lol
1487 2010-11-25 18:36:16 <Kiba> and I am a male
1488 2010-11-25 18:36:28 <Kiba> a fat person who is nonetheless efficent at running
1489 2010-11-25 18:37:59 <xelister> Kiba: well you are making this hard for us
1490 2010-11-25 18:38:22 <xelister> but lets not give up hope, do you have a donkey and wanted to be payed in el pessos
1491 2010-11-25 18:39:05 <xelister> coz I need a video describing Flash - how good it is, or more exactly, what it is doing imho =)
1492 2010-11-25 18:40:40 <xelister> it would help the metaphore if the donkey is well endowed
1493 2010-11-25 18:40:58 <nanotube> xelister: haha

1499 2010-11-25 18:46:14 <xelister> which binary exactly
1500 2010-11-25 18:46:23 <zc00gii> xelister: the linux 64 bit binary
1501 2010-11-25 18:46:31 <zc00gii> bitcoin: /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by bitcoin)

1503 2010-11-25 18:47:28 <zc00gii> that's when compiling
1504 2010-11-25 18:48:04 <nanotube> zc00gii: you got the 0.3.15 tar.gz off sourceforge, right?
1505 2010-11-25 18:48:10 <zc00gii> ye
1506 2010-11-25 18:48:44 <xelister> zc00gii: myself, I just use the bitcoind (deamon) no gui. it compiles no problem here on ubuntu
1507 2010-11-25 18:49:25 <zc00gii> is bitcoind annoying to use?
1508 2010-11-25 18:49:28 <nanotube> zc00gii: a lot of these look wx-related. and some more seem to be about missing the boost lib
1509 2010-11-25 18:50:02 <nanotube> zc00gii: no, bitcoind works well... just not as pretty as the gui, and you can't see the individual transactions without a listtransactions patch.
1510 2010-11-25 18:50:40 <zc00gii> bitcoind works fine
1511 2010-11-25 18:51:51 <zc00gii> ok, now how do I interface bitcoind?
1512 2010-11-25 18:54:25 <xelister> zc00gii:  wget commands as in http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=api&s[]=rpc
1513 2010-11-25 18:54:35 <xelister> zc00gii: or, use ./bitcoind getinfo           and similar
1514 2010-11-25 18:54:53 <xelister> so bitcoind is the demon (default) but also can work as the client apparently
1515 2010-11-25 18:56:23 <xelister> curl --user bc --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": ["free_bitcoins_1"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
1516 2010-11-25 18:56:30 <xelister> erm
1517 2010-11-25 18:56:33 <xelister> wrong
1518 2010-11-25 18:56:35 <xelister> corrected:
1519 2010-11-25 18:56:40 <xelister> curl --user bc --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getinfo", "params": [""] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
1520 2010-11-25 18:58:41 <zc00gii> it's using like
1521 2010-11-25 18:58:43 <zc00gii> no CPU
1522 2010-11-25 18:58:59 <xelister> zc00gii: if you find this usefull, you can give me 0.05 USD (5 cents) by typing (once you have money) - curl --user bc --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "sendtoaddress", "params": ["18w7UsctFMHxrbKTnuMFPh9gYqvjm2E2gW", 0.1, "(example description)"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
1523 2010-11-25 18:59:57 <xelister> zc00gii: to start generating you need command.  but, generating on CPU is not usefull nowdays (it takes months). Better buy some bitcoins for like 10 usd - 300 BTC - http://mtgox.com/
1524 2010-11-25 19:00:04 <zc00gii> how can I get it to abuse my processor more?
1525 2010-11-25 19:00:20 <xelister> in the API linked above saerch for "setgenerate"
1526 2010-11-25 19:00:25 <zc00gii> yeah
1527 2010-11-25 19:00:27 <zc00gii> I did that
1528 2010-11-25 19:00:30 <zc00gii> set it to -1
1529 2010-11-25 19:00:38 <xelister> set  true,4  for example
1530 2010-11-25 19:00:44 <xelister> anyway, it will wait first
1531 2010-11-25 19:01:05 <xelister> untill it downloads all blocks (around 100 MB) so like 15-60 minutes, this is one-time wait. Then it will start generating actually
1532 2010-11-25 19:01:48 <xelister> on windows, installer gives error:   No write permission to c:/program files/bitcoin/bitcoin.exe
1533 2010-11-25 19:03:51 <lfm> windows 7
1534 2010-11-25 19:07:05 <xelister> yeah, windows7

1547 2010-11-25 19:43:17 <xelister> bitcoin does too
1548 2010-11-25 19:43:41 <xelister> for 10 minutes the user was thinking bitcoin is not starting, since it auto minimized to stupid tray that is auto hidden on win7 shit
1549 2010-11-25 19:45:44 <edcba> hehe
1550 2010-11-25 19:45:52 <edcba> compatibility...
1551 2010-11-25 20:01:25 <Diablo-D3> xelister: technically hide to tray is broken
1552 2010-11-25 20:01:50 <Diablo-D3> it tries to hide the fact that windows doesnt properly support user spawned background processes acting as non-task oriented services
1553 2010-11-25 20:05:45 <Kiba> bitcoin is slow to startup

1557 2010-11-25 20:10:10 <Diablo-D3> nope
1558 2010-11-25 20:10:10 <Kiba> I never seen satoshi in this IRC ever in my life
1559 2010-11-25 20:10:13 <Diablo-D3> satoshi is never here
1560 2010-11-25 20:10:19 <Diablo-D3> gavin sometimes is though
1561 2010-11-25 20:10:46 <xelister> satoshi should be more public
1562 2010-11-25 20:11:05 <Diablo-D3> why
1563 2010-11-25 20:11:29 <xelister> well we have centralized development
1564 2010-11-25 20:11:32 <Kiba> if the governmenets to kill bitcoin, satoshi would be it
1565 2010-11-25 20:11:45 <Kiba> well, try to kill
1566 2010-11-25 20:11:49 <xelister> e.g. for freenet, the lead developer stands right over there
1567 2010-11-25 20:12:30 * Kiba wonders if there is a serect anarchist cabal
1568 2010-11-25 20:12:54 <Diablo-D3> Kiba: wouldnt that be an oxymoron?
1569 2010-11-25 20:13:17 <Kiba> Diablo-D3: they would conspires to distribute power, rather than concentrate power

1571 2010-11-25 20:13:45 <zc00gii> does that support OpenCL?
1572 2010-11-25 20:14:36 <Diablo-D3> zc00gii: hell no.
1573 2010-11-25 20:15:17 <Diablo-D3> zc00gii: that doesnt even support the shit ATI had before adopting opencl
1574 2010-11-25 20:15:28 <zc00gii> Diablo-D3: lol
1575 2010-11-25 20:15:30 <Diablo-D3> (that requires either 2000 or 3000 and up)
1576 2010-11-25 20:15:32 <zc00gii> Diablo-D3: where do I know you?
1577 2010-11-25 20:15:43 <wumpus> well satoschi should be developing, not chatting :)
1578 2010-11-25 20:15:51 <Diablo-D3> well, I wrote that bitcoin miner

1593 2010-11-25 20:37:39 <xelister> everyone is outraged about tha TSA shit, and yet...
1594 2010-11-25 20:38:27 <xelister> 300 people opted-out. This is a tiny fraction of passengers. It seems the protest fizzled.
1595 2010-11-25 20:42:05 <dwdollar> xelister:  http://gizmodo.com/5698536/fliers-claim-tsa-have-deactivated-body-scanners
1596 2010-11-25 20:42:13 <dwdollar> That may explain some of it.
1597 2010-11-25 20:43:26 <dwdollar> That way they can say only 300 people opted out even though most didn't need to.  It's clever propaganda.
1598 2010-11-25 20:44:20 <xelister> I think its simply because most Americans are pussies
1599 2010-11-25 20:44:25 <xelister> *nowday's
1600 2010-11-25 20:44:50 <dwdollar> That's part of it too.
1601 2010-11-25 20:45:14 <xelister> well it's part of "most people are idiots" anyway
1602 2010-11-25 20:45:22 <xelister> humanity is disapointing

1646 2010-11-25 23:10:03 <wereHamster> the price went up in the last months, right?
1647 2010-11-25 23:10:15 <nanotube> yep. see bitcoincharts.com for some nice charts
1648 2010-11-25 23:11:27 <wereHamster> nice website
1649 2010-11-25 23:12:17 <wereHamster> last I followed the community somone was about to announce a big project which was supposed to use bitcoin. Did that happen already?
1650 2010-11-25 23:14:09 <nanotube> wereHamster: there are quite a few...
1651 2010-11-25 23:14:22 <nanotube> so i have no idea what project that was. :)
