You are probably missing the 'gcc-spu' package. Make sure all the packages listed in the README are installed.

You would have to have a modded PS3 to run any self signed packages.

So, who wants to make this into software that can run on even the most unmodded PS3s?

Have you mounted spufs?

Code:

none /spu spufs defaults 0 0

inside /etc/fstab or manually

Code:

mount -t spufs none /spu

Ahhh. Alright it's working now, thanks!

I've put up a new version of Cell Miner, now supporting HTTP keep-alive connections to reduce communication overhead. Thanks to lgeek on GitHub for the idea and initial implementation.

This version requires a different Ruby Gem — be sure to:

Code:

# gem1.9.1 install net-http-persistent

I think it might be cause the packages aren't working properly.

Any helping getting the packages installed?

So the make will build.

THIS is what bitcoin needs to be a viable currency.

It needs a powerful GPU in every living room calculating while idle. This kind of strategy is the only way the public will ever gain substancial confidence in bitcoin.

Yes, I'm sure that's the one thing keeping the public from having confidence in bitcoin. I know when I think about a currency, I'm like "Man, but that doesn't eat up a bunch of power in my house for no reason. That's not very secure."

We need many democratically distributed non-purpose built GPUs to make bitcoin a viable alternative currency.

This whole thing sounds awesome. I don't really have any powerful graphics cards in my house, and I've had to rely on all cpu miners from laptops and old desktops for the time being. I think I'm running maybe a total of 20 Mhash with 5 machines right now. While I don't have the money to run out and buy a whole new desktop, I can afford a few extra dollars on my electricity bill to run the PS3 along with the rest of them and effectively double my total.

Here's the trouble... I'm running PS3 firmware 3.60, and I'm unsure of how to go about getting the otherOS set up. I messed around with it back in the day when it was still actually integrated with the official PS3 firmware, but that's obviously a thing of the past. I have no qualms about jailbreaking the PS3 and voiding warranty and what not, as I own an original 60GB fat model, so there is no longer a warranty, and the thing is likely to die at some point soon anyway. I just don't know how to best go about the whole process. Do I need to jailbreak? install a custom firmware? at what point do I install the firmware from gitbrew.org? how would I install the firmware from gitbrew.org? (the instructions are anything but helpful)

If someone could walk me through this, I'd really appreciate it.

Ok, thank you! i've used gcc-4.4 now it compile correctly.

22.073 Mhash/s with 6 SPE and 2 PPE Miner.

Nice work verement!

Only one question, what is Backlogged work items?

It's the number of work items that are still unfinished since the last time work was obtained. If this number reaches zero, the SPU/PPU miners will be starved for work. On the other hand, there is little point in keeping a huge backlog, so the work items are trimmed automatically to keep the number reasonable.

The number is essentially just informational. The number will drop each time a new block is being worked on, since the backlog is then essentially useless and has to be cleared. The only time to be concerned (in terms of overall efficiency) is if you have a long period of RPC errors during which the entire backlog is depleted.

Why not just upload the binary? All PS3 are the same anyway, no need to always compile from source.

But the linux that they run isn't Wink

Try the latest version I just pushed to github. Apparently the $LANG setting in your environment can have an effect on the interpretation of source files; I corrected this by setting an explicit encoding which should solve the problem.

Make sure you clean your source tree with "git clean -x -f" before you try again.

Thanks for the report.

Now i've got this error when i run the make command:
