how do you do that?
Something along these lines:
  1. You make a profile in Catalyst and name it appropriately
  2. You go to:
    C:\Users\*your username*\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles
  3. Open the profile you just made in Notepad
  4. You set the desired Memory clock under:
    <Feature name="MemoryClockTarget_0">
    (put the desired frequency in all 3 fields)
  5. Save the file and load the profile

How do you do this? :p thanks
  1. Open Catalyst
  2. In the left menu, click Presets
  3. Click Add Preset...
  4. Fill the required info, like Name of the profile, Tooltip info (optional, for convenience)... if you want, assign a (global) Hotkey for it, etc
  5. Click Save, and that should be that

So how do I know if it's working?

The bitcoin client itself is on Generating with the small CPU 5,000k/hash on the bottom left, and the GPU client displays the 220,000k/hash, but other then that nothing's changed in the last 12 hours...

I think I posted a pic of it, so is everything working correctly? It just seems strange to me for NOTHING to show up, not even like a status or something.

EDIT: The pic is near the middle of Page 4.

I'm actually thinking of doing pooled mining now, since (supposedly) the difficulty of generation is going to be 40% more than it is now, in a couple of weeks.

So when is http://mining.bitcoin.cz/ going to open registration???

Also, what exactly do I have to do to make the GPU client and everything work with the pool?

EDIT: Just saw this helpful explanation from Aphex:


I would just like to say that with the money I generated I have bought me Crysis 2 off newegg for $50 :)

This Bitcoin is equivalent to legally pirating not only Digital but Material things now as well. Pirating in that the money used to buy it literally came out of thin air!



When you make a batch file for m0mchil's GPU miner for example add the --host http://mining.bitcoin.cz so you can work for the pool.

Also in the batch and for Bitcoin you have to use the same user and pass (which you should already have done).

Go to http://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/profile/ make an account there if you haven't and then add a worker with the login and pass you have set up in your batch and Bitcoin program.

When you do that it adds a "Youraccount Name"."the user name you made for the worker"

So my account at Mining.bitcoin is Aphex,the user name I gave in the batch is Dreamer so the final user name I'm using in Bitcoin and the batch file I made is Ahpex.Dreamer

so your batch file will look something like this for m0mchil's GPU miner


start /DC:\bitcoin\poclbm_py2exe_20110215 poclbm.exe --user=Aphex.Dreamer --pass=******* --device=0 --host=mining.bitcoin.cz

The key is that the login and pass is the same for everything.

When you run bitcoin as bitcoin.exe -server and then run the batch that uses your GPU your GPU will start looking for coins in bitcoin for the pool.

You can verify that its working cause when you look under workers under the account page at http://mining.bitcoin.cz, current shares and score should be going up. If its zero you haven't done something right.


Hope this helps.



Lowering it back to the default had no negative impact. I think they were right, thanks.

WOOT!

I just checked my client today and it generated a block!!! :D :D :D

It says 95 confirmations remaining, so I guess it'll take a while before I can use the coins but still, pretty amazing!

Just wondering if I should try to trade it on Mt Gox or hope for another block so I can get the 70 or so BTC required for that $50 Virtual Visa card... hrmmm

Doesn't it stop at 120 confirmations? I'm pretty sure that's all it needs before it's confirmed.

Maybe it's a glitch? You could try restarting your client maybe.

Hmm... when you double click on it, what does it say?

I also suggest looking through/searching the bitcoin forums themselves for the issue, and if it lasts a REALLY long time, you could always contact the bitcoin staff.

Hey Aphex, do you know if you can move the funds of a Virtual Visa card to a bank account?

If I end up getting a few of them, I'd rather have the funds in one place instead of a bunch of separate balances.

Does your balance still say 0.00?

Maybe it's confirmed and you didn't notice?

nono my balance is 50, but I just am wondering why the confirmations just keep going up

Oh!

I thought you weren't getting the money at all. :rolleyes:

Well it shouldn't really be an issue... I wouldn't see it as a problem, as long as it was confirmed at 120.

While it's confirming the blocks, it doesn't use any (maybe a VERY little) amount of your hash rate, so it should still be able to get future blocks fine.

If you do however run into some problems other then the number rising, I suggest contacting support, they probably know the most about the issue.

He did get the Bitcoins it always goes up. Each Block is part of a chain, as that chain goes up it goes back to your block and confirms it.

At least thats my very vague understanding of that.

Hey Aphex, do you know if you can move the funds of a Virtual Visa card to a bank account?

If I end up getting a few of them, I'd rather have the funds in one place instead of a bunch of separate balances.

You can make a paypal and use the Gift card as a the Credit card. Then make another Paypal with your Bank info and send the money from the Gift Card Paypal to the Your Bank Account Paypal.

Thats the best way I can think of atm. Maybe there is a better way but I don't know it.


You could always try selling it.

It's too bad the ratio isn't 1:1 on that virtual visa site, means I have to get a second block before cashing anything in >_<

Yeah but it changes with Bitcoin value. Like I said it used to be almost 1:1 but as soon as the bitcoin lost value it went up.

Who knows. Maybe when you get your second block it will be more 1:1 or less :p

I just hope I get that second block before the upcoming 40% difficulty increase, and if I don't, I hope at least that that pool site's registration opens soon. :(
