Latest version is working like a champ, one request if there's any new updates on the horizon.

There any way 'failback' can be added to the phoenix miner?  Setting up backup pools with -b works perfectly, but it'd be nice if it tried to automatically failover to the primary servers.  Right now the only way to get back to your primary is stop the miner and restart it.

Thanks!

Not sure honestly, but I'm surprised a log/text document will fill up a few GB of space.  You sure something else isn't killing the drive space?

..I think you misunderstood me, I have a couple of gigabytes left, but whenever it starts failing, it fills a log, which in turn fills my harddisk. So it's AFTER it starts making these errors that my free space goes down.

If you only have 56 KB left on your hard drive, you have more problems than just this one.  You need to have at _least_ a couple of hundred MB free on your machine for windows to run and preferably closer to a GB or you'll have all sorts of problems.

From what you said, my guess is that you're really low on HD drive and windows and it's programs need to have some free 'scratch' space on the hard drive to read/write temporary files.  If you don't have enough room, programs will start having problems and windows may start acting up.

Not sure if someone else posted this, but ill give at a go anyways...

Sometimes, when I check my computer after it has mined for a day, it makes these weird errors.. The error bar (the one which usually shows how many shares have been accepted) flashes and shows a couple of different error messages...
This is a problem in itself, since it means that the miner isn't running... But something else is that everything goes to the log, and everytime this happens, I have like 56kb left on my C:/ drive :S

Has anyone else experienced this?
I will take a screenshot next time it happens

Nothing seems to be doing the trick.  It just says connection problems.  A shame because I've been using this for a while with no issues.  Weird because mining without this GUI still works fine.

oh, Try a different pool, if it is the pool, use your secondary pool for a day then change back to the one you were having a problem with and see if it is a pool problem.

The program isn't actually running anything, it only shows up in the task bar.  It doesn't start the miners like the other problem with the disappearing window (which I tried several times anyway).  Learn to read idiot.

What is it suppose to run? Are you talking about, guiminer is not running the kernels? What other program? GUIminer is the program with the missing window.

All I can prob. say is

As I stated, that didn't work.  The program isn't actually running anything, it only shows up in the task bar.  It doesn't start the miners like the other problem with the disappearing window (which I tried several times anyway).  Learn to read idiot.

Even when I uninstall and try to use previous versions, it won't come up anymore...wtf?! O.o

I guess this guy had the same problem and found a fix. It might help you out.

there is a major problem, guiminer does not show up in a regular program, only as a tray icon. cannot show it to screen. anybody else has this?

I'm having the same problem and the "fix" doesn't work.  My GUI Miner is not even mining.  It opens up and shows as a tray icon and just sits there.  Turning off virus detection and windows defender software didn't do it...  Not sure what else to try.

Hello,

I have a question, why many of us trying to mine solidcoin with guiminer's newest version from 2011.08.24 got "unexpected error" while software is trying to send share info to server, and obviously this not appear in the older version from 2011.05.01.

Could you somehow do something about it?

You can still use phoenix for your nvidia cards. You just have to specify using the poclbm kernel instead of any of the phatk kernels since phatk is ONLY meant to be used with ATI cards that are 5xxx or higher. Just do what it says and specify using the poclbm kernel with the "-k poclbm" in extra flags. Make sure all your kernel arguments come AFTER specifying the kernel (such as AGGRESSION, VECTORS, etc) and phoenix-specific arguments (such as -a 200 for sample size, etc) BEFORE the "-k poclbm"
Thanks, I added the -k poclbm flag and now Phoenix works and I'm getting my previous speeds. I've sent you a donation. Smiley

Thanks to everyone reporting on the miner invisible. It looks like if you save while the miner is invisible, it will stay offscreen when you open the program again. Because the miner settings are stored in a separate folder (AppData), re-installing won't clear the settings and the problem persists.

I'll find a permanent fix to this for the next version, in the meantime big thanks to celcoid for the workaround Smiley
