Anyway once I learned the copy/paste deal I started messing with it and got it working by leaving out the username.
Thanks a million.

I don't mine at eclipsemc; but are you sure it's going to your account without the username? Just checking ...

The first Bitcoins I get are going your way buddy! What took me soooooo long is that I didn't realize any of this terminal stuff could be copied and pasted LMAO, I think I thought myself coding just from retyping all that for 4 hours.

I've got to get to sleep (work tomorrow). But we'll get it working. I'll check the forums again in the morning.

You should see it start accepting shares and it should show you your current mining rate.

Here is the exact command that I use:

./phoenix.py -u http://username_workername:[email protected]:8337 -k poclbm DEVICE=1 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=8 WORKSIZE=128

Yeah, using that. Still no good. What does your program say where mine says failed to connect? Maybe I'm using the wrong port?

Btw in:

./phoenix.py -u http://yourusername_yourworkername:[email protected]:8337 -k poclbm DEVICE=1 VECTORS

The "yourpassword" should be the password you set for the worker.

You're welcome

Now open up a terminal in ubuntu and use "cd phoenix" to change your directory.

Then type:

./phoenix.py -u http://yourusername_yourworkername:[email protected]:8337 -k poclbm DEVICE=1 VECTORS

This should get you going, let me know how it works.

You'll also want to register for the eclipsemc forums at: https://eclipsemc.com/forums/forum.php to become part of the community.

The bitcoin.exe you downloaded is your wallet that you need to use to hold all the bitcoins you make. You also need to make sure that wallet is secured. There are several topics on the newbie forums that address wallet security. When you work with a pool, you will get a share of bitcoins and then you can transfer those bitcoins you earn to your wallet.

The first thing you need to do is go to eclipsemc.com and register. Once you register, you need to set up a worker. You need as many workers as you have graphics cards on your machine. Let me know once you're registered and have your workers set up.

You really are the man

I'm down for using eclipse. On my other PC, running windows64 I ran the bitcoin.exe off the front page of bitcoin.org, is this not needed if I am doing things through terminals and pools like this?

That means the program is installed and running. I'm not quite sure how to solo mine using this setup and since the difficulty is so high lately, I would highly suggest using a pool. The one I use is eclipsemc.com , but you can use others. If you do want to use eclipse, I can walk you through it.

Not in a pool, I haven't even gotten the BitCoin program going. I just installed ubuntu before I typed all that afterall.

I am getting this message now

mypc@Boques:~$ cd poclbm
mypc@Boques:~/poclbm$ ./poclbm.py
No device specified or device not found, use -d to specify one of the following

Okay I got it all in and it all seemed to respond, giving it a shot now.

Yeah you should run through it again. And when you get to the lines that give you and option between 32 and 64 bit setups, use the 32 bit option.

So when you come to the first option (step 9) you should type:

screen -d -m -S stream wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/Stream20GA/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32.tgz

And when you come to the next option (step 21 and 22) you should type:

sudo sh -c 'echo "/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86/" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf'

./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/include/ --cl-lib-dir=/opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx32/lib/x86

Okay lol, I figured that out a bit too late. Do I need to retype everything? At the last few commands it kept saying directories not found. Also I installed a 32bit Ubuntu and used a 32AMD, so I think thats 32bit

Do you have a 32 or a 64 bit system? Btw, don't type in "32-bit 9." or "64-bit 9."
