The king and the pawn go in the same box @ endgame
Crazy as it sounds, try the 32 bit in this case.

I can't install it. The 64-bit install says I need to be in a 64-bit system, which I am.

It won't detect my graphics card. I have checked and it says the name of the card. It just says the card doesn't exist after it names the card.

are your drivers current, and did you install the APP SDK?

I'm having some trouble with cgminer telling me that "pool 0 not providing work fast enough" and hanging on that.  Is there a way to fix this?

Once I get openID, then I can save this in my documents so that I enter later without being log on google each time?

If you use Google as your OpenID provider to log into BitMinter then logging into the BitMinter website means logging into Google.

Regards worker and password, I can choose any one I wish then?
Well, of course, I'll be sure to save this in my document

Yes, for worker name and password you can choose anything you like. You can store this with your miner and it will log in automatically and mine for you. OpenID is only needed for logging into the website.

Getting 6x7970 for mining  Grin
I want to buy, 5xBFL Singles also, so, does anyone knows what are delivery times now?  Smiley

Nice, 7970s are efficient GPUs Smiley I think the delivery time for BFL singles has gone down, but I'm not sure how long it is now. Anyone have any recent info on that?

It also appears registering for an OpenID isn't free!
Is there a way to register without an "openID"?
On bitminter doesn seem to make it easier!

There are many free OpenID providers. Actually, I haven't seen one that costs money, which one is that?

I'd suggest using a Google account and activating 2-factor authentication on it. Then your account will be secured by a code in addition to password. The code can be generated by an app on your phone, or sent to you from Google by SMS  or voice message at the time you are logging in. You don't have to pay anything for this. In case you lose your phone they have one-time codes you can print out and keep someplace safe.

Now your account is protected by something you know (password) and something you have (your phone). This is much more secure than a simple username + password solution.

The first time you log into BitMinter with Google there's a checkbox to allow automatic authentication. If you enable this and are logged into Google already then logging into BitMinter is just one click on the Google logo on the BitMinter login page. Your browser gets bounced over to Google then back to BitMinter. You are logged in after just a split second with only one mouse click.

In case you don't like Google there is Yahoo and many others.

For the future I may add username + password, Facebook login and possibly other solutions. However OpenID is secure, convenient and free, so new login solutions is not at the top of the priority list.

Btw, for the mining itself you use worker accounts with passwords, just like any other pool. Miners send this password unencrypted across the internet, so don't use a password you use anywhere else (which is never a good idea anyway).

Wow! It great having a web application to mine!

On registration, I see "openID and I hope this isn't needed?

With most miner pool offer to register with an user name as password which I usually safe those on my document on usb stick as backup as it should be a pratice to all! That my preferred way!

It also appears registering for an OpenID isn't free!

You should cross post that in a few of the gazillion BFL threads to get the attention of BFL users. Perhaps even in its own thread, BFL users may well not read these threads.

Good idea. Fefox already posted in the BFL thread. I now opened a separate thread in the FPGA section.

Seems it runs fine on Windows and Mac. I wouldn't expect any problems with Linux, but would be good to know for sure that it works. And Awesome with a capital A would be if it works on the raspberry pi. Wink

Thank you, sir! Smiley

The miner is now getting support for BFL BitFORCE devices. If you have one, please help beta test it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.877772

So how about GCN (HD7970)? Is this supported/faster/...?

Yes, it is supported and from the reports I get the BitMinter client seems to run very fast on 7970. Of course you can also use DiabloMiner, cgminer or any other miner in the pool. I don't have a 7970 so I haven't been able to speed test the miners properly against each other.
