Ha! I overlooked, didn't read the fine text. I just registered with BTC Guild as you have mentioned on how we can say thanks.

Heh, it does!
There's a field for that
.
It checks every time timer reaches that length, and every time backup client restarts.
I tested by unplugging my LAN cable, then plugging it back in. Should work, provided ping is good enough to tell if a server is online or not.

Nice job! By the way, I think it's a good idea if when the original server is back online, Phoenix Rising would revert to the original server from the backup. Testing now!

Thanks.Let me know if anyone thinks of a better way to check if servers are online, or if there are any bugs!

Great job, lvlrdka22!

1.3!
Backup pool should be functional now. Uses ping to check for online/offline.
Added some preset colors for the OSD.
Replaced work size field with extra flags.

It seems phoenix.exe is launched with incorrect parameters (i.e. lacking a space) when fastloop is disabled. In Process Explorer on phoenix.exe (Properties > Image):
phoenix -u http://user:[email protected]:8332 -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=falseAGGRESSION=7 DEVICE=0 WORKSIZE=512 -q 2
This probably causes both the fastloop and aggression settings to not be parsed. For some reason when launching like this (also when launched manually in a command-prompt), on my system the miner only uses up to 82% GPU and thus a lower hashrate.
Tested on: Phoenix Rising 1.3c
Hardware: Radeon HD 6850
Workaround: enable fastloop
EDIT:
On second inspection it seems that FASTLOOP=false is still parsed even if another argument is directly attached to it, so only the aggression argument is ignored. Apparently my card needs fastloop to run at full-speed, so I should have just enabled it in the first place.
Yeah, apparently I missed a space after FASTLOOP=false phoenix -u http://user:[email protected]:8332 -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=falseAGGRESSION=7 DEVICE=0 WORKSIZE=512 -q 2

Hi! Help me please to run your piece of software!
It seems to me that I fill in all the forms correctly but when I click START OSD appears saying that miner is idle than it automatically restarts in 10 secs and the procedure repeats again. The GUI is user-friendly and everything should be clear but I am obviously missing something.
Can you please post a how-to guide with some examples.
Thanks!

Hi, 10x for the good program. There is no drop in hashrate for me.
But if how, I would like to see an option for autostart the worker. Now if the PC reset accidentally, there's no way to resume mining.

Finally I was able to show the OSD, it was on the upper left corner of the desktop and I just moved it before clicking "Click Through" to lock it's position. So far working good! Thanks for this GUI! The restart option is very handy indeed! I will be testing it with a dual card system. Have just tested it with a single card. I get the same Mhash/sec with the console version.
P.S.
Would there be a way to change the font color to like Green or White or Black or something? The red font is kind of hard to view. I know I may be asking too much but it would greatly help.
Sure, it's an easy change:P.S.

. I know I may be asking too much but it would greatly help. Go to line 51 in the source, should read "$pen=_gdiplus_pencreate(0xffed1c24,2)"
Change the 0xffed1c24 to an RGB color you want.
Recompile!
I might include an option to select one of the common colors.
I'm no programmer, thus I'll be waiting patiently for your update. Thanks!

Hm, what OS are you using?
The crash doesn't seem related to the GUI at all, can't help there.
The crash doesn't seem related to the GUI at all, can't help there.
I am using windows 7 64 bit, with SP
I have 3 dummy plugged cards into x1 slots, crossfire connected.
I have tried 11.3 11.4 and 11.5 catalyst.
Speaking of catalyst my crossfire option has disappeared from the performance menu.
Windows 7 sees the 4th card as does catalyst when I "extend the desktop" if I don't do that neither can see the card.
However when I try to run guimier.exe or a 4th miner in phoenix rising I get that crash.
I also get the crash when i run poclbm.py in command line and I have the 4rd card extended.
I will pay a bounty to whoever figures out how to make my 4th card usable.

Try this, see if it's fixed: http://www.mediafire.com/?3oup7h2d6dtenbq

Trying out the client now, so far I like it, the affinity setting is something I really like, and the backup option was just what I was looking for. One thing though is the OSD is always click-through for me no matter if I hit the button or try to alt-tab to the window or anything. I saw someone else had this problem but I didn't see any resolution, has anyone come up with anything for this?
May 30, 2011, 07:50:41 PM
Try 1.3b, I fixed a couple unintended bugs.
If you're using multiple graphics cards, it could be setting affinity all to the same core (if you used that), which could result in a little loss of performance.

I've been trying out the 1.3a beta. It's about 3% slower on my Radeon HD 6870 with the same settings than running phoenix directly, but I'm not sure why. Also, it seems to go to sleep when my PC is running the screen saver. My reported hashrate from the server drops way down, and when I come back from screensaver the OSD reads "Restarting...". It's possible that the underlying phoenix bug is biting me. Perhaps the GUI doesn't properly detect idleness when the screensaver is running?

Also consider renaming HD 5XXX to just BFI_INF
Any chance u'd do similar tool for poclbm?
Also any chance to ability to display Hashrate as OSD (consumes much CPU on higher aggression for me) or somewhere in GUI window?
EDIT:
Maybe just instead of restarting miner it should close current one and start backup one if available ( or checkbox whenever switch if idle or restart). Then after specified time return to check if its working.
