bah one cant even register to this pool Shocked

What are you having issues with? The OpenID login, or the sign-up form?

OpenID can be pain. Is there a reason why you don't want a site specific login? After all, one of the reasons bitcoin is attractive to us is anonymity but then you want us to use a service that basically is a tracer.

Update to website:
Member area "account details" now shows number of proofs of work for each worker for the current round, in addition to the total. Also, everything is summed up in the bottom row.

I also added a tooltip explanation for Mhps - just put the mouse pointer over the "Mhps" text in the column header to see it. Fluctuations in your hash rate should be less confusing when you know it's just an estimate. Wink

Will probably move my 2 GH/s over to this miner/your pool and see how things go.

That's great! We need to increase the hashrate to make payouts more frequent.

Speeds are impressive! Just trying this out on my 5770, and I'm getting around 185MH/s instead of 168MH/s with guiminer.

Always glad to hear reports of good performance.

To be honest, on a 5770 you can maybe get 1 MH/s higher with DiabloMiner or modified-Phoenix with modified-phatk kernel. I will be closing that gap later, to make this the fastest miner on any GPU. But for now, it's close enough to the best, while I work on some other things. Wink

I never could get phoenix working real well. There were always weird quirks about it that I didn't like. I'm just happy to have a miner that is much faster than guiminer without any weird quirks.

Yes, try 10 ms intervals - should be smooth.

Smooth enough - thanks for helping the noob. Tongue

Question: What can I adjust to make mouse movement less jerky on a machine that I regularly use? I tried setting the break interval to 1000 ms, but it didn't help. Anything else I can try?

You need to lower the break interval, not increase it Cheesy

Congratulations on the third block, everyone.

After the block was confirmed this morning, 79 members were credited for their work and also 5% bonuses added to their accounts. Shortly after that payments went out to 14 members whose accounts were now over their chosen minimum payout threshold.

Quick bugfix update on the BitMinter mining application today:
- Fixes errors that occurred when stopping and restarting a device
- Fixes "compilation error" on Mac OS X

Edit: To get the new version, just restart the miner.

Yesterday we grew about 40% in computing power compared to the day before.
Today it looks like we grow more than 100% compared to yesterday.

What's going on? Are you guys overclocking? Tongue

we got a third block, people switching and hoping for a short fourth

This was a few days before we got the third block. It went up to ~40GH/s at one point. It was quite late in the round so it probably isn't pool hoppers, so not sure what happened there.

then it's the people who just finished mining namecoins and looking for a good pool?

Great concept in theory, but I cannot for the life of me get it to come even close the my Phoenix 1.50 + modified Phatk kernel results.

I got way past 450mhash/s per 6990 core on 3% mod POCLBM with arguments -v -w128 (for a total of 900+mhash/s) by setting a clock frequency of 950-960mhz and upping the voltage.

Temperatures go through the roof though & so does power usage, so it's not worth it by a long shot.
6990 is already the hottest card out there, I don't want to risk failure by running at constant 95c-100c+.

Another small thing, the miner doesn't remember the child window sizes after returning from perf mode. E.g. I have 2 GPU and only use one for Bitminter, so I closed the other GPU display, shorten the upper window so I get more log display area. Go perf mode, return and it's back to the auto-calc sizes.

Yes, that's annoying. I put it on my list - thanks

This is on 11.6B though, might be the same thing in 11.7 as well. Certainly both of them have the full load CPU bug in the other miner.

Didn't know it could happen with 11.6. I'll see what I can do about it.

ToriAmos1963 already requested submitted shares in performance mode. I will have it in there soon!

Nice

Are you running Catalyst 11.7 preview? I noticed this happening after I installed 11.7, but haven't found the cause yet. Working on it.

If a device fails to start, just hit the start button again. Usually starts on second or third try. Sorry, I don't mean to make your GPU look like an old tired car Grin

Will fix!

LOL

1. Performance mode doesn't display submitted shares. Is there a reason why you felt it was more important to show work units than the current progress like most other GUI miners?

ToriAmos1963 already requested submitted shares in performance mode. I will have it in there soon!

The reason it is this way is because the miner started out without performance mode. I put info specific to a device in that device's own area. And data not specific to a device I put down there. Then I noticed that the speed gauges, at least if you have multiple GPUs, actually slow things down a bit. Also the window got quite big. So I put in performance mode, but didn't think to change the way info is displayed.

2. Text log doesn't scroll with more entries, at least not on my Win 7 64bit, the just gets longer and longer until I can't access the perf mode button Cheesy

Edit: Now it does, maybe I was just seeing things Shocked

Hehe. Let me know if it happens again.

Only problem I am aware of with the log is on Linux if you go to perf mode and back to detailed mode the log gets really big. Will fix when I have time.

One slightly more major issue, I get this error on the first restart attempt each time I stopped my GPU.
Device [Cypress (#1)] unable to start: Failed to map output buffer(code -12 = CL_SUCCESS) on Cypress (#1)

Yes, there are new patches for 4xxx and 5xxx series Radeon in.

On my 5970, with Catalyst 11.7 preview drivers, the BitMinter miner still runs a little slower than DiabloMiner, so I need to work on it some more.

But it would be helpful to hear how the new version compares to people's favorite miners.

Hats off to you DrHaribo. on mine, it's on par with guiminer/poclbm on equivalent settings 100ms/f10 w256 at 422~424MH/s
And importantly you fixed the issue with the lagging responsiveness

Two minor issues though
1. Performance mode doesn't display submitted shares. Is there a reason why you felt it was more important to show work units than the current progress like most other GUI miners?

2. Text log doesn't scroll with more entries, at least not on my Win 7 64bit, the just gets longer and longer until I can't access the perf mode button Cheesy

i.e. stop the GPU, do something like tweak settings OR do nothing, click start = error. Then do something OR do nothing, click start = OK
