Topic: BitMinter.com * Optional Custom Miner, PPLNS, Merged mining, Newbie-Friendly! * - page 44. (Read 220897 times)

Hello,

I've been trying it out the bitminter java app on my osx laptop.  It appears to be mostly happily getting and completing work units(except occasionally it appears to complete all the ones I have) but I don't see any accepted or rejected proffs of work on the server.  It maybe isn't uploading them?  I'm not sure how to tell if this is a network issue with my connection?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am only making namecoins. How can I make bitcoins too?

Hi,

i realy like this miner but with my ATI 4870 it is to slow. It only get´s around 85 till 88 Mhs. With GUIminer poclbm and this flags -d 0 -v -w 128 -f 1 i get 104 Mhs.
What should i select in the tunning tap to get this miner faster.

greets
Jürgen

Newbie - Need Help - sorry.  Running on a mac mini 2013 (i5 version)... the app is unable to use the GPU due to not finding OpenCl... do I need to install a driver?

Cheers,
Larye

Thanks for the good pool DrHaribo.

It's amazing how many people are buying miners from Butterfly Labs and turning around and selling their order on eBay the next day.
The prices people are paying for Avalons is insane. Yesterday one went for $50,000:

Here's an Avalon that's bid up to $30,000 today:

Thanks for clearing that up for me 

Thanks for you help.
I disabled Kaspersky and it worked. It`s kinda strange because before I upgraded form win7 to 8 it worked well with the same settings.

This is usually caused by antivirus, firewall or bad proxy settings. If you are running AVG or McAfee those are especially problematic. You could try whitelisting javaws.exe and javaw.exe with your security software.

Check whether your java proxy settings are ok: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/proxy_setup.xml (use direct connection if you don't need proxy)


Welcome! Let's try and see the glass as half full and mint some coins Bitcoin price looks to be on the rise again.

Thanks, I understand now and I am on board with my soon to be 7+ GH/s  which will be the equivalent of 7 MH/s I'm afraid in a few months.

Hey guys,

Can someone tell me if the BM-Client works with Win8?
When I want to start bitminter, Java (newest version) crashes with the following error:

Thanks in advance,

I only have an AMD 8750 in the work comp so will try that on Monday.

Cheers

Don't mine on the CPU. CPU is too slow and it's extra slow as BitMinter client is not optimized for CPU mining.

If you have a computer with an AMD graphics card you should try that, it runs much faster than nVidia.

Hulloo

Very newbie here, started today.
Quick question.
my 560ti is getting about 93mhps
where as the FX8350 8core is getting about 0.25
Does this seem normal?
Regards

Welcome to Bitminter, guys, and thanks for the kind words.


The work you have done is paid whether you do more work or not. It will go in a shift and as long as that shift is among the 10 last completed ones when a block is found, you get paid for that work. This way a single proof of work is usually paid multiple times. If you go to the website and go "statistics" -> "rewards" in the navigation menu you can see this from the top graph. The graph looks like a staircase with different levels - that's from proofs of work getting paid repeatedly, sometimes many times, sometimes few.


Since work is queued up on the client side, there should be no waiting while grabbing more work from the server. If there is a problem getting enough work you will get a message in the log about running out of work and idling.

If this is the case it seems it would be wise to add higher difficulty options for the future.  I've noticed at times my card seems to be waiting for a new share to process.  If higher difficulty then more processing and less waiting seems more efficient.  You have a very full plate and I also am excited about litecoin mining in the future. 

Thanks,

Mike

Question:  If I stop all my miners right now,  Do I earn a percentage of the blocks found during the next 10 shifts? 

Hi guy's.
Just to let you know, I am new to the world of BitCoins and very late.....

Just registered to BitMinter and installed a client on my PC with dual-core and graphics with OpenCL and it runs great. Will probably make my first BiCoint after a year or so   

On my (7 year old IBM and Windows XP) Laptop it also runs without problem.... not sure if that will ever deliver a single Bitcoin though.

Still lots of reading to do.......

Congrats for the great job, Bitminter is my favorite pool and miner.

This is a very newbie friendly pool. I spent most of times there. It would be great if PPC is added in near future. I know PPC doesn't allow merge mining. Just asking!
