No but just can't be bothered to go through the hassle. I've lost half the stuff and the rest is trivial. It's there if you want to pull it apart and if it was some big ass attempt to steal coins I'd of milked it by now. It's nice to see people still using it and also glad not to hear any stories about loosing bitcoins stored using linuxcoin.

To tell you the truth I'm surprised no one else took it on :/ Anyway I'm leaving the site live at my cost and traffic just on my server alone is in the terabytes.

That was never the main reason. The main reason for open source is to avoid duplication of work. When you gave up on the project had it been open source someone could have taken over where you left off.

Without the source there is no "taking over". It is more like "I am surprised nobody started over from scratch to make an alternative". Well they did there are numerous Bitcoin niche distros that started from scratch.

Ahh cool

I knew of BAMT but haven't heard of anymore ?

p2pcoin is largely based on linuxcoin, and it runs a self-contained p2pool node.

It hasn't been updated in 8 months.
The author has not made the source code available and has refused any request to do so.

That is disappointing as it looks like a promising dedicated light mining OS.

Are there any alternative Linux OSes that have the Bitcoin client and/or miners natively installed?

BAMT is a usb based distro that comes ready to mine with phoenix, phoenix2 or cgminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bamt-version-05-easy-usb-based-mining-linux-with-farm-wide-management-tools-65915 or http://bamter.org/

Kano maintains a script for making a cgminer bootable usb: https://github.com/kanoi/linux-usb-cgminer/blob/master/linux-usb-cgminer

I tried BAMT but I had problems recognizing more than 1 GPU Sad

We can fix that if you submit a bug report on our support site: http://bamter.org/redmine/projects/bamt

Not only will you get software that works better, but so will the next guy who happens to have whatever combination of things that is currently causing trouble for you.

Rest assured, hundreds of multi GPU rigs around the world are mining with BAMT right now. The largest farm (that I am aware of) is over 50 Ghash, and a few are in the 30 Ghash range.

If you are interested in p2pool mining, I've hacked up a version of linuxcoin for that. I call it p2pcoin, for lack of a better name. I think BAMT is also a dedicated mining distribution, but I don't know much about it.

If this project is still active here are a few suggestions:

Website:
1. Make your homepage look more appealing.
2. Visibly separate the latest & previous versions in the downloads section.

OS:
1. Add CPUMiner for the ability to mine litecoins.
2. Add other miners and clients.

Nice & simple OS. +1

It's called VOLUME LICENSING when you own a business. I own THREE different companies, so yeah in the scheme if things, they are "free" for me since I am the owner. I have twenty different machines for my employees between desktops and laptops, so to use 4-5 licenses for my rigs is no big deal, besides I got the tax deduction and it's a sunk cost.

Yeah windows sucks, I get it, except I re-used 4 old laptop drives I had lying around from fixing people's machines or upgrading them and loaded windows and my rigs have been 100% for stable for a week at 7.5 Gh/s.

It's all about each person's individual resources and skill set. You make the best of what you have and 5970's lying around doing nothing while I try to learn to be a linux user was not getting it done.

You're all smarter, better and more efficient than me, I get it. Move on.

I'm a hardware guy, I can build you an over-clocked water-cooled gaming beast or an htpc that will blow you away. I HATE software, it bores me and I like plug and play. I'd much rather troubleshoot hardware or work on tweaking its performance any day of the week.

I prefer bench marking to coding any day of the week.

BTW I flashed the board bios to latest version and still no dice. i did end up having a bad 5970 though, so maybe that was the issue all along.

Anyway, windows for me, rigs are more stable and I am WAY more familiar. plus I have plenty of licenses, so no cost there.

Yeah. Pretty strange all of these people having tons of licenses for free ...

Yochdog also had it "for free".

Maybe you guys work for Micro$oft and that is why you are pushing Windblows and have so many "free" licenses.

Linuxcoin still is nice but needs to be updated and supported like BAMT.

OMG thats such a relief from thats such a relief from that yellow desktop. Still having trouble with getting the miner started.

At first I was getting the "X server needs to be running" message and could not set clocks in aticonfig So I finally uninstalled and purged the xgldr drivers or some letters close to that, and then ran the AMD 12.1 w/ SDK 2.6.

So now I am able to get into aticonfig and play with those settings but whenever I attempt to run to run phoenix or poclbm I get this "Segmentation fault" line and then the attempt to start just quits.

Any tips from prior experiences would be greatly appreciated.
thanX

Try cgminer. It automatically sets the best defaults.

Anybody know if linuxcoin has a search function? Can't seem to locate it.

While I am thinking about it, How do I change this desktop? Shit get pretty bright after you have been up for 3-4 days.

thanX

Also has anyone experienced getting a "Segmentation fault" when starting either phoenix or poclbm?
