How long does it take to mine a block with a i7 3770 ?
(just to know if it is doable...)

There is a lot of issues with GUI to talk about. I propose to meet in Irc at 20GMT today. Is this time good?
I have some budget we can spend to motivate GUI developers:
1.000.000 BCN and 400 BMR.
Anybody can contribute some coins also for this purpose.
I might be busy by that time. I have a developper potentially interested. I have some budget we can spend to motivate GUI developers:

You are more then welcome to join us at freenode / #bitmonero

Do you get "Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0" all the time? It was not the case some hours ago. I restarted the daemon and the wallet many times.
Say "save" to bitmonerod console. This is a small bug in rpc handling.

Twice I've seen stuff about alternate blockchains and successful "reorganizations" in the daemon. Is this common in all cryptocurrencies but simply hidden behind the GUI? Or is this coin particular prone to forking?
Am I suffering a similar problem, if it is a problem?
I was getting blocks ok, but now all I see is "Block added as alternative" messages.
What does this mean?
As usual, nothing about this on google.
This isn't a problem and you aren't suffering from this unless you have mined block that gone to alternative branch. In the later case (you mined block but somebody else mined two blocks in the different branch) you loose your block reward.
This logic is the same in all currencies and in Bitcoin also. 10 minutes were choosen 5 years ago. Now 1 minute is a reasonable minimum. It makes chain to react faster on any changes and gives more chances to solo miners. In currencies with gui wallets you don't read logs normally. If you will you can find reorganize events and lternative chains.

Coins with faster blocks are much more prone to forking.
Satoshi picked ten minutes not because he wanted to annoy people by making them wait for their transactions but because he looked at latencies across a large network and concluded that 10 minutes was the smallest number that also kept chain forks to a minimum.

Ok, got the miner up and running and just found a block 
How long until it shows in my balance? Is there a command to find out?
Or, is there a problem because immediately after finding the block I got the message:
Some problems at write: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
I've googled it, but can only find out it's a winsock issue (I think).
Any ideas?

?Wait a while and type refresh in your simplewallet terminal. It should show up unless it was an orphaned block.
Brilliant, worked a treat, thanks
All this command line stuff is stopping me posting inane drivel, so everyone should be pleased.....

why is hashrate lower than bytecoin? while mining bytecoin I have about 5.6H/s and with bitmonero 3.4
I don't have this issue (mining on Windows 7). It starts low and ramps up over a few minutes. Is 3.4 your stable hash rate or just the initial?
April 18, 2014, 08:23:29 PM
So we have everything in place needed for pools
basically
getblocktemplate (HTTP JSON server) --> block header blob --> miners
increment block header blob with
miners submit blob and block header hash back to server
server submits to network using submitblock
server pays proportional based on shares per round

People who want to query the RPC server, you can do so with curl:
Change the stuff after "-d" to whatever from the wiki:
https://wiki.bytecoin.org/wiki/JSON_RPC_API
If you want to use curl, then convert it to compact:
http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
Code:
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18081/json_rpc -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"test","method":"getblockheaderbyheight","params":{"height":100}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept:application/json"Change the stuff after "-d" to whatever from the wiki:

Not sure, could be the windows binaries are just slow if those are what you're using

I suppose this can still work if the emissions curve is flat-ish like BTC (i.e. not as much advantage to early mining). And maybe if I hear the name often enough, I'll get over it. :\
Is there anyone with the skill to implement a GUI?

We need a pool server first, obviously I can do the guiminer when we have that using simpleminer as the miner.
It would be great an associate pool with minergate for merged mining ^^
I'm looking at the source code for bytecoin now, it looks like it has everything it needs to do getblocktemplate as in bitcoin using the RPC server that bytecoind spins at 127.0.0.1:18081. Going to look over eloipool now.
