Can you actually save multiple account "profiles"? Host, login, PW, port?

Looks like this has been created using WPF, which is a bad idea. WPF uses directx9 to render its contents, and everytime you update your screen (external redraw event, or updating the counter to display the mhash) opencl is suspended.

There are ways to fix this though, although you will never get a really optimal solution using .net (or windows for that matter).

No, it's windows forms, and that is somewhat true.

Yes, i know i have a shitty gpu:

Running poclbm from cmd gets me: ~15850kh/s
Running poclbm from BitMiner gets me: ~15800kh/s

As you can see there is very little difference (remember thats in kh/s, not even mh/s) between running it from the command line, or from the gui.

I think you think it's WPF because it's using aero, you will be able to disable that in the next version (not that it make much difference now), but if you want to disable it at the moment, go into properties (BitMiner.exe) and disable visual themes (under compatibility).

Is this any more or less efficient than just using Ubuntu to mine?

I forgot to mention, it's C#, and i've only tested on windows at the moment, on windows it might be SLIGHTLY less effecient, as there is a little overhead from .NET, but barely enough to be noticeably. If enough people donate, i'll get it to work with Mono/Wine.

It's .NET, shouldn't be too hard to get.

          Images from v1.2


          There a bit of debugging code i've left in (such as writing all of the output from the miner to log.log), but this shouldn't affect use.
          Remember this is only BETA, it's pretty plain at the moment, but there should be alot more to come in the future Smiley



          Future plans:
          • Failover support
          • Statistics Page
          • Add more pools
          • Graphing features
          • Fan Controls
          • GPU Monitoring
          • JSON interface with pools
          • Add support for most miners (phoenix, diablo etc.)
          • Add JSON-RPC server

          It has taken me a while a long time, to write this up and stuff, so if you use it and like it, please donate Smiley
          On the other hand, if you have a great idea that I think is worth something, I might send you some bitcents Cheesy
