Maybe it's just me, but I've updated 2 machines with the new client and it appears to be working fine using the OpenCL miner, but I don't see the Stale/Accepted numbers updating on the summary page and they're all just sitting at 0.
edit: Tried machine 3 with the same result. Pretty sure actual mining is working fine though b/c my pool is getting shares from those workers.
One other thing I noticed is I'm no longer seeing longpoll messages in the console log. Is there a new verbose mode/switch that needs to be set in the flags?
Thanks for all the hard work on this Kiv!

A new version of the miner is available; I've updated the download link on the first post, or you can get it here:
guiminer-20110823.exe (self-extracting archive)
Changes:
- Update poclbm (OpenCL miner) to the latest version. This changes the format of a backup pool. In the "extra flags" you just enter your backup (or backups) like this: Kiv.GPU:[email protected]:8332
- Update Phoenix to the latest version. See their thread for details on changes.
- Remove ufasoft miner from the GUIMiner bundle. It's still supported, but you'll have to download it separately. I apologize for the inconvenience to ufasoft miner users, but I decided to do this since only a few percent of users were using ufasoft and due to recurring false positive issues from antivirus programs.
- Added "duplicate miner" option when right clicking on a miner tab. This is to make it easier to clone miners to multiple GPUs.
- Limited maximum scrollback in the console window to 5000 lines. On machines with low RAM, this will prevent running out of memory after a long period of continuous operation.
- Add more pools to the server list, though balance update doesn't work for all of them. I'm looking at ways to handle the large number of pools that are popping up better.
- Fix Linux bug where the window could not be restored after minimizing.

You might want to be careful with some versions of VNC, and windows Remote Desktop for that matter. Some versions of them unload video drivers when you connect which totally fubars things if you're trying to configure your miner/overclocking tool through the remote connection.
Can't vouch for vcn but not an issue with log me in. perhaps there should be a list of all verified remote access programs?
TeamViewer handles things nicely with encryption. Hazzle free installation and free for homeusage. http://www.teamviewer.com/fi/index.aspx

tightvnc handles this nicely. good catch on that. i forgot to mention it.

Since they're all free it's just a choice of who has the features you want in the end

Question, is there a addon or remore program to control my miners from a different site then the computers they are on? Using GUI miner of course.
i personally use ultravnc. free, open source, etc. and also does the browser bit.
tightvnc seems to work better with windows 7. i think i tried a diff vnc program and it was just not
developed as much as the others now days. they all work on xp though.

Teamviewer works great as well and it's free.

The simplest thing I've found for remote control of mining rigs is log me in free just sign in using a browser anywhere and make your changes as if you were at the desk

What's the best version of the kernel(s) you guys have found for the Poclbm mining with GUIMiner then?
i am pretty sure the original ones that shipped do not have the current optimizations that lead to 3-4% increase.
if i recall correctly i added them by hand as i read about them in threads. it was phatk 2.2 that was impressive and
an easy copy and paste to the kernel folder.

Uh, guys, you can update the files on your own?
Updating Phoenix is just as hard as copying in the new exe's and then updating the kernels is just overwriting the files that are in the /kernel folder. No new releases needed, just some manual work to copy in the updated miners.

Phoenix 1.6.2 broke the hashing speed reporting for me. If it's different for you, give me a hint.
and it is reasons like that I did not even bother attempt to update phoenix. just the kernels of my choice.
you get pretty much all the speed but do not get newer features that phoenix offers and even if you did
the gui interface will not support them "cleanly".
