I have ubuntu 14.04 running on I5 with 8gb of memory and 300G of disk . I tried with another disk same problem

And now with 0.8.6 it cannot sync 
E1019 10:53:14.699769 core/blockchain.go:1170] Bad block #2462853 (0xd7929a629b2d1226ddab5c8be6c7949b4fa3cbcafa6f0871f99b437454969363)

Upcoming Ethereum Hard Fork:

What happens if I do not participate in the hard fork?

If you are using an Ethereum client that is not updated for the upcoming hard fork, your client will sync to the pre-fork blockchain once the fork occurs. You will be stuck on an incompatible chain following the old rules and you will be unable to send ether or operate on the post-fork Ethereum network.
What is a hard fork in Ethereum-land?

A hard fork is a change to the underlying Ethereum protocol, creating new rules to improve the system. All Ethereum clients need to upgrade; otherwise they will be stuck on an incompatible chain following the old rules. The decentralized nature of blockchain systems makes a hard fork upgrade more difficult. Hard forks in a blockchain require cooperation and communication with the community, as well as with the developers of the various Ethereum clients in order for the transition to go smoothly.
What happens during a hard fork?

After consensus is reached on what changes should be included in a hard fork, changes to the protocol are written into the various Ethereum clients, such as geth, Parity, and ethereumJ. The protocol changes are activated at a specific block number. Any nodes that have not been upgraded to the new ruleset will be abandoned on the old chain where the previous rules continue to exist.

The page is down. At what time (UTC -7)?

For me too it was down. At the same time, ethstats was also not working.
They recovered in less than a hour. Now it's working for me.

Try this website, it is better than codetract one- ethscan.io

I'm mining ETH-HF on Dwarfpoof after a few weeks of down-time due to a cooked motherboard. Now that I'm back up and running with a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04, I've been noticing that I'm getting a lot of "GPU gave incorrect result", "cannot connect" and a few other errors while mining. I've also noticed that even though I have FARM-RECHECK 300 in the command, which in the past led to each "hashing line" displayed on the monitor being displayed every .3 seconds or so at a very steady rate, now its a very ragged rate of .7 to 1.0 second, sometimes as slow as 6-7 seconds

My ethminer command is as follows:

Code:
ethminer --farm-recheck 300 -G -t 4 -F eth-us.dwarfpool.com:80/0x1400xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx08eB7829C --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 16896

are these issues because of the attacks on the network?

Or would it be the motherboard/processor being too slow ( Pentium Dual Core 3GHz with 4GB RAM , 2- R9 295X2 cards, Ubuntu 15.04 Desktop )

OR maybe I have something misconfigured?


Also, For some reason, I can mine using both cards, but trying to overclock using aticonfig or even checking the temperature of each of the 4 GPU cores, I can only control and/or access the temperature of the "default" GPU. The other 3 GPUs are inaccessible with the aticonfig command. Now this is a misconfiguration of something because the previous installation of ubuntu 15.04 mined just fine and I have full control over all the GPUs. ( That old installation was all kinds of mucked up with Monero and other coin mining junk - the reason for re-installing from scratch)

FYI - I followed this guide with an exception of using thelatest APP and Display Library downloaded from AMD, not the older stuff noted in the guide.

http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/2695/frontier-mining-setup-notes-ubuntu-15-04-geth-v1-0-amd-ethminer

Any pointers to get this sorted out would be helpful

Thanks







Well .... this ethereum miner became unresponsive, so I rebooted it, Updates to ubuntu and whatnot were available so I did sudo update / upgrade / dist-upgrade, along with cleaning up the system with sudo clean / autoclean / purge / autoremove ..... then I rebooted the system and started mining again.... now I can use aticonfig and use overdrive commands. The system fixed itself after quite a long spell of not being able to tweak the GPUs.

So that problem is fixed.

I'm still getting frequent "GPU gave incorrect result" errors and the mining/hashing displayed is still displaying at a ragged rate, not a smooth consistent rate. What spooks me the most when mining is I think the system froze from time to time... It'll be hashing and displaying the output every .6-.7 seconds -- even though I have the FARM RECHECK set at 300 , but then it seems like ethminer gets stuck when a result is found and its hangs for 7-15 seconds before displaying that a result was found etc.

Anyone have any input on how to smooth out this mining.... IE optimize the display output / hanging issue? I'm sure this is hurting my hashrate.

Thanks

ETHC, ETHF... Well, 2 ethereum coins is not enough. We shall have a third ethereum coin now ETHF2. Which exchange will start trading it first?

Will there be a ETC1 or ETC2? I heard somebody want the ETC to hardfork to protect it from DDoS attacks.

This fork is a protocol fix, not a hack reversal (which I was very against), not the same thing but keep on keeping on.
