Just a quick update on the current development status of linuxcoin. All the hardware support etc has been completed and tested to the best of my ability. Lack of hardware means I cannot test every situation Wink

for this reason Linuxcoin will still be released as alpha until you guys have tested and I have some feedback.

I can say that the next version of linuxcoin will be released by the weekend Cheesy

This release I'm hoping will cater for everyone and not just the mining community Cheesy

I want Linuxcoin to help everyone have access to the bitcoin network and bitcoins. Linuxcoin 0.2a has also been designed to enhance the security of your bitcoin wallet etc.

Lots of more features etc to be included in the final version Wink

Stand by for more info !!!

Can someone please guide me how to setup Phoenix miner with deepbit on this OS. Never used Linux before. Huh

It should be enough with just the commands and where too post them.

Thanks!

this is the command line you need :

cd /opt/miners/phoenix
./phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

Thank you, with that code running two instances on my 5970 I get about 610Mh/s, looking at the comparison chart I've tried some of the other combos but never get above 307Mh/s per core, I'm using this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131324 and linuxcoin, could anyone give me any pointers on how to get to the 800Mh/s range? Much appreciated thanks!

ps. (I also have to run it as python phoenix.py, using ./phoenix.py tells me permission denied, but I doubt this is affecting my hash rate)

did you try to "chmod +x phoenix.py" ?

Here are the commands I use to take the raw v.01 live image and have it start mining coins, I just put it together into one script and fire it off once the machine has booted and acquired a DHCP address.

# Start of script

# Changes computer name on network
hostname=miner-01

# OKs AMD agreement
tar xvfz /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/icd-registration.tgz -C /

# Sets keyboard to US layout
setxkbmap -layout us

# Launches miner processes
xterm/opt/miners/phoenix/python phoenix.py vectors bfi_int aggression=10 worksize=128 device=0 -u http://USER:PASS@SERVER:8332/

xterm/opt/miners/phoenix/python phoenix.py vectors bfi_int aggression=10 worksize=128 device=1 -u http://USER:PASS@SERVER:8332/

#End of script

Download phatk kernel and put it into kernels directory
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/modified-kernel-for-phoenix-15-7964

To start mining type:
./phoenix.py -u http://username:[email protected]:8332/ -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=13 WORKSIZE=128 DEVICE=0

You should also underclock Memory clock and overclock Core clock. For exact values you can play around or search on the mining board

May I create these ISO's into torrents and post them on the pirate bay so we have a quicker and more robust download?
If you are ok with it and don't mind, could you post a small description?

I was thinking about;
NAME: LinuxCoin, a lightweight Debian based OS with everything ready to go.
INFO: LinuxCoin is a small Debian based live OS targeted at Bitcoin miners & regular users. LinuxCoin installs onto flash media and allows you to take your wallet where ever you go. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/linuxcoin-a-lightweight-debian-based-os-with-everything-ready-to-go-7374

I for one would gladly seed this. But I think it's a good idea to wait until he releases a stable version before we mass propagate this via torrent.

Just my 2 bitcoins worth...

excellent news !! The next release is in the oven and getting close Cheesy

Just polishing a few things. I was going to code a little GUI for mining but I think I'll just include a bash script for now. Still pretty simple just follow the instructions. Sort of got a logo and everything sorted !! In the process of buying the domains and we should have a wiki etc. I'll try and put as much as I can on there but would encourage users to sign up and add there own content.

I'm not going to put a timescale on things but I as things stand v0.2 is much better than v0.1 already so might just pack up and release what I've got for now to get you guys running with this while I take care of other things for a bit Wink

I have version v.01 up and running on 5 dedicated mining machines, I would love to give v.02 a try before I continue deploying. I love the fact that I'm replacing expensive, noisy, electricity consuming hard drives with USB thumb drives and intend on converting my whole cluster over.

Time frame - are we talking days or weeks?

Nice

I'm not going to put a timescale on things but very soon. It won't be the final version but its a improvement on the last version and makes things a lot easier for the average user.

I got the USB version to work.

How to I begin pool mining deebpit using phoenix?

Where do I put the script, and what script do I use? Have a 5830.

The miners are included in /opt/miners

If you do a quick search on here you will find the command you need to issue to start mining.

drgr33n, I'm wondering if you'd consider including the "phatk" phoenix kernel by default with the distro..here is the link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/modified-kernel-for-phoenix-15-7964

This kernel is optimized for 5870s and it add a nice bump in performance. Some linuxcoin users will definitely appreciate it if it was already found in the mining dir.

Just a suggestion..kind of one for lazy people :p but yeah none the less. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion this has already been added to v0.2 Wink

Is there any way to get DHCP enabled in the current USB version of linuxcoin? I'm completely new to linux and I have no idea what i'm doing here or how to get this working.

DHCP is enabled ? try using the wicd network mananager

start -> programs -> network -> monitoring -> WICD

then click the icon in the bottom right screen and connect.

Hello drgr33n,

This is really great stuff. I installed it and got it running right away... I was generating bitcoins in about half an hour. It was really easy.

I'm seeing a strange problem though: it seems like writes to my filesystem (on the USB stick) don't get committed. For instance, I created script files to start off miner processes. The files seem to have been written OK, but when I reboot the files are gone.

I tried running sync before rebooting but that didn't help.

My dongle doesn't have any kind of write-protect switch and writes just fine if I plug it into my windows box.

I'm not that much of a unix person... I'm probably doing something wrong being the nub I am. If you have any ideas it might help.

This utility has been a huge help, getting 169 Mhash on my old 5770 with linuxcoin. I'm looking forward to sending you a few days of BTC for the +Mhash/s your build will afford me once I can overclock my dedicated miner with your build.

When is your next release?

Cheers,
