Awesome to see a free mining distro for Eth.

dlehenky · March 2016

I hate to say it, but: We know this is good/safe because ... ???

work · March 2016

@dlehenky unless it steals shares, which should get detected quite quickly, there shouldn't be anything else on a mining rig to worry about anyway. Can't see any benefit to releasing something like this with a trojan or the like.

dlehenky · March 2016

@work Agreed. Just playing a little devil's advocate.

th00ber · March 2016

Seems to be interesting. I use to mine on SMOS, BAMT or Kopiemtu in 2014 and it was great.
Right now, I have a Win7 install ... but may I'll try this mining OS.
Anyone here is testing ?

Hytech2k · April 2016

@th00ber I copied the image to a external 250G USB drive to try one of my new rigs, I couldn't get it to load up. Might be just the USB drive, I have a new SSD coming and will give it another try with that. Going over the features on the website, it seems like a pretty complete package. I really like having all those options for proxys built in.

really? i just bought ethOS for no reason

damnit

thesmokingman · April 2016

Does this only support AMD cards? I see in the FAQs you only mention drivers for AMDs, but figured I'd ask.

Nice GUI

That would have been very true even if this didn't get released.

Kwitzach · April 2016

Has anyone got this to work? I've extracted the image on a usb drive but I can't seem to boot off it?

bluebox · April 2016

Sounds like someone made an image that's specific to their system, rather than a "live" universal bootable...

Hytech2k · April 2016

I loaded it on a SSD and couldn't get it to run... Freezes up at "starting failure monitor" Might be for a specific system...

nicoterra33 · April 2016

I was run it on SSD with dmde-3.0.4.630-win32-gui software
working good but it's wierd (too many russian language)

aleks · April 2016

Who can post a pastebin with "ps -el" command on terminal after first login at the system?

Hytech2k · April 2016

I can't even get to a login, just freezes....

Delete it, then tell gpu~~shit~~shack you want a refund. If they refuse, contact your credit card company for a chargeback.

Lol seriously? All the posts against this distro is getting a little old. It either is or isn't your cup of tea we get it. I've never touched Linux before in my life, but I'm the type to Google for my answer before creating a thread, and I couldn't be happier using ethOS. Just wish there was a way to SSH to my rigs from anywhere vs. having to remote in to a PC on my local network to SSH in.

Change SSH port and setup port forwarding on your router?

dlehenky · April 2016

@work You beat me to it

Yes, port forward ssh on your router to one of your rigs.

Can this be run off a USB 3.0 stick?

General-Beck · April 2016

usb 3.0 16GB+ recommend. usb 2.0 if you use 6 GPU ~40 min to start mining. usb 3 ~10

happytreefriends · April 2016

TY. I might try it when I get a chance.

Just install teamviewer on ethOS. It doesn't break anything, and it's super easy

General-Beck · April 2016

with teamviewer we lose stability, this time, as this code Windows and there is no certainty that it will work properly, without disrupting the X window. if you have multiple farms, then very soon you will get banned and you will be prompted to buy the full version, limiting connection time

happytreefriends · April 2016

Teamviewer doesn't ban you. I know a few people that use it across the world on dozens of systems with no issues and no fees.

work · April 2016

Agree with happytreefriends. I don't think General-Beck knows what he's talking about.

General-Beck · April 2016

google - teamviewer commercial use detected 5 minutes

Pretty sure that's mainly caused by using it on domain joined machines. I can't see any reason a mining farm would be running an active directory controller. They also detect commercial usage by connecting to too many machines in a short period apparently. With many machines on teamviewer, I've never managed to trigger the detection.

And even if you are detected, it only limits you to a 5 minute session, and it is trivial to remove the warning/limit.

General-Beck · April 2016

well I get this a lot. and the session only lasts 5 minutes and sometimes 1 -2 minutes. but we are here to discuss the mining and not TeamViewer. and image more intended for industrial mining.
it's easy to solve such problems as simultaneous update of the miner on 20 farms or so to remove the Dag files using one button in the web interface. Experience with administration of linux computers, you can do a lot. This img as a designer, it already has the desired blocks and you can build anything you need

@thesmokingman Your fake lol suggests some cognitive dissonance. Perhaps some buyer's remorse being suppressed since you are in denial over paying $40 for open-source software, which you can download for free.
Since EthOS is not copyrighted, it was only a matter of time before someone shared a copy, especially considering the way Alex at GPUshit behaves.

@bitcanuck nothing fake about it my friend, just laughing at the request. If someone else wants to spend $40 just so they can release it to the public or to give a symbolic middle finger to the dev/s, more power to them as it doesn't affect me in the slightest. Everyone no matter who it is has a value they feel their time is worth, and I don't mind donating for that time as I appreciate it when someone does it for me. Thanks for sharing the link though so others can see how easy it is to get up and running using ethOS. Hope you have a good day tomorrow and the rest of the week!

Howdy, Stranger!
