Thank you so much, I finally got it to work. My mining speed is currently about 40 Mhash/s, and as far as I know, that's not very good. Any idea how I can get a better speed? I also keep getting these "Block x found on ATI Radeon HD 5670 (#1)". I suppose that doesn't mean I've actually found a block, as I've gotten 7 of them already - the last two with a three second interval. I'm mining as a part of the Eligius pool atm, if that has anything to say. Also, my usually überfast Mac got reeeeally slow now, but I guess that's a prize I have to pay for mining Bitcoins.

EDIT: One more noob-question: How do I quit DiabloMiner? By quitting Terminal?

it means you solved a lowest possible difficulty block, otherwise known as a share, which then gets submitted to see if it solves the actual block... in so many probably incorrect terms and phrases.

Hi.

I'm quite a noob when it comes to all this java-programming-stuff, but I really want to try mining Bitcoins, and thus I downloaded DiabloMiner. I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.7 and my graphics card is a "ATI Radeon HD 5670". I try starting the program in Terminal, using the following:

java -cp /Users/Felles/Desktop/DiabloMiner/target/libs/*:/Users/Felles/Desktop/DiabloMiner/target/DiabloMiner.jar com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner -u 12keBjKYgLJiTvwjxcbP5cbCHYV31TbT5d -p xxx -o pool.bitcoin.dashjr.org -r 8337 -g 5

Could you please help me, so I can begin my exiting Bitcoin adventure?

Dont try typing the Java command out by hand, use DiabloMiner-OSX.sh

By dragging and dropping DiabloMiner-OSX.sh into the Terminal window, this happens:

/Users/Felles/Desktop/DiabloMiner/DiabloMiner-OSX.sh

You have to cd into the dir first, and then run ./DiabloMiner-OSX.sh

580 gets 127-130 mhash/sec at stock clocks with rpcminer-cuda on default settings under Windows 7 x64 (only one card so no SLI issues). 5850 gets somewhere around 240 mhash/sec or possibly more with the latest miners (I'm going off the wiki on this).

Welp. The 5850 is also $70 cheaper. Guess I'll suck it up and hope AMD got its act together.

Superior Windows drivers, superior Linux drivers, 5-6x faster per watt on Bitcoin, same game or better game performance per dollar (69xx really screws over Geforce 5xx on games, especially in Crossfire vs SLI or games that use a lot of tess), plus AMD is the primary financial backer of a completely open source modern GPU driver stack and Nvidia is only unofficially threatening to sue over the same thing?

Nvidia is the one that needs to get their act together.

Not to get on your case, but I remember a time when the words "*nix" and "ATi" sent shivers down the back of geeks. Things change. I used to be a huge ATi fanboy but then I had a slew of bad experiences with them.

But either way, a 5850 is on the way. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for the advice, everyone.

which I found on an other forum, that solved some other problem I had previously. However, when I type that into Terminal, it gives me this:

Then an app called com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.Diablominer launches down in the Dock, before quitting automatically after a few seconds..
I've of course downloaded the default Bitcoin client, as well as created the bitcoin.config-file with my username and password in the right format (even though I don't actually use those - as far as I know - as I'm trying to pool-mine).
Could you please help me, so I can begin my exiting Bitcoin adventure?

Update: Added multiple vector widths, -v now requires a number

-v 2 is the old -v, and seems to be fastest on SDK 2.4, while -v 4 seems to be faster on SDK 2.1. I now get around 275.

I probably should go implement BFI_INT soon.

a 5850 gets more mhash/s than a 580. There really isn't an nvidia equivalent.

How many more? If it's pretty close, well this 460 is going in a box so it's not like I'll be totally hurting. Plus the 12m I get from my girlfriend's little computer and the 1m I get from my laptop Wink

Bleh, I bought a new video card about 2 months ago, a 460 SE, and I was happy with it until I jumped onto this band wagon Wink

I really don't like how underperforming it is compared to a 5850, a card which is maybe $20 more than I spent for this thing.

Thus, I'm thinking of upgrading; I want to know what is the nVidia equivalent, however, as I've had nothing but bad experiences with ATi recently.

I just did some comparison to Phoenix and poclbm on my brand new 5850 @ 765 on SDK 2.1

Phoenix DEVICE=1 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 AGRESSION=7 FASTLOOP BFI_INT = 273
Any combination of fastloop and agression does not pull head. 5, 7, 11, 13 with or without fastloop score around 273.

Phoenix without BFI_INT = 250

poclbm -v -w 128 -f 60 = 295

DiabloMiner, which does not do BFI_INT yet, -v -w 128 -f 60 = 273.

Assuming 250->273 shows off a representative 9.2% increase, soon as I implement BFI_INT, I should, again, have the fastest miner ever.

Update: Added -v for vectors, reworked -f code (should allow -f 1000 on nvidia to work better), and disabled -z 10 by default on Radeon 5/6xxx

Small problem. AFIACT re: HTTP RFC, you cannot send a message body with a GET, only with a POST. So, uh, why wouldn't I be using POST?

That's why we fixed it on our side. Just wanted to let you know...

No no, I just think its awesome my superior miner is promoting code quality everywhere Wink

Guess what, it's my fault. The pool I was using was returning immediately if a long poll came with POST, instead of GET. Diablo was the only miner triggering this problem so far. We fixed it on the other side ^^
