= Intro =
I like the BitCoin idea, mostly for the GPU computation part and to see if the idea actually holds.

= Install and Run =
To get it running under Ubuntu 10.10 with NVIDIA CUDA 3.2 tools installed, requires some tricks as {{{python-pyopencl}}} requires a whole bunch of non-compatibele NVIDIA stuff to be installed.

  $ sudo apt-get install  blt dkms libboost-python1.42.0   python-dateutil python-decorator python-matplotlib python-matplotlib-data git-core libboost-python-dev
  $ mkdir ~/src
  $ cd ~/src
  $ git clone http://git.tiker.net/trees/pyopencl.git
  $ cd pyopencl
  $ ./configure.py
{{{
$ cat <<EOF > siteconf.py
BOOST_INC_DIR = []
BOOST_LIB_DIR = []
BOOST_COMPILER = 'gcc43'
BOOST_PYTHON_LIBNAME = ['boost_python-py26']
USE_SHIPPED_BOOST = False
CL_TRACE = False
CL_ENABLE_GL = False
CL_ENABLE_DEVICE_FISSION = False
CL_INC_DIR = ['/usr/local/cuda/include']
CL_LIB_DIR = ['/usr/local/cuda/lib64']
CL_LIBNAME = ['OpenCL']

  $ make
  $ sudo make install


Now download and run the miner. I run mine against the [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started Eligius Grid]. Replace {{{1PZmETDRFw4Sd6AXkaqKbGos5ZjHZgxxM4}}} with your own BitCoin Address, else thanks for the donation!
  $ cd ~/src
  $ git clone https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm
  $ cd poclbm 
  $ python poclbm.py --device=0 --pass=x --host=mining.eligius.st --port=8337 --user=1PZmETDRFw4Sd6AXkaqKbGos5ZjHZgxxM4 --verbose
 
For daily usage you can run it as a daemon with verbose logging if wanted:
  $ python poclbm.py --device=0 --pass=x --host=mining.eligius.st --port=8337 --user=1PZmETDRFw4Sd6AXkaqKbGos5ZjHZgxxM4 --verbose >> bitcoin-mining.log &

If you have multiple GPUs in your system, make sure to fire up multiple installed with different {{{--device=}}} ID.
