Nice work..
here is just some requests if you ever decide to add features

- Backup pool support
- temp monitor for when the cards get too warm then disable GPU until temps go down
- retry connection settings

I know all these features are in phoenix riser, Its just I like the summery page of GUIminer rather than OSD, Also I seem to get about 10 MH/s with GUIminer than phoenix riser, even with using the same settings and phoenix version

for the love of god, will this ever have backup pool support...
you can just set several pools for a single card, but set each pool in different priority with the flags so in case the pool with highest priority goes down, the card will mine for other pools with no slowdown.

yeah, done that. its not a solution. it drops my hash rate by 10%

i'm having some problems getting this GUIminer to work. the newest miner won't open on my computer. every time i open, there's a error dialog that pops up saying: "See the logfile C:Users\Username\guiminer\guiminer.exe.log for details", and then the programs just crashes. then once i open that log file to see what's wrong, this is the log:

Quote
ERROR:root:Exception:

Any chance of changing the BTC Guild preset to work with their new server addresses? I know it's possible to edit servers.ini, or choose "other" and type the hostname, but the balance checking feature stops working when you do that.

blabla

I used to use these flags with OpenCL, I have no idea what they do - should I use them with the ones you suggested?

-v -w128

Thanks for your help - really appreciate it!

You should play a littl with the -f value. You could try anything between -f1 (windows will lag) -f30 (here i can watch 720p) -f100 (1080p) and stuff.

Do you have a HD5XXXX card ? then try -v -w128. If you underclokc memory to 300 mhz then try -v -w256. (downlclocking is possible with afterburner, search msi afteburner in this forum)

If you are happy with my reply, please donate to Kiv, he should recieve more for his work on GUIminer

@Kiv: Can you maybe add support for this: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=19169.0

-f100 works

or -f200 works even better.

works with opencl

wow I could kiss you!! Thank you so much! Those figures were wonderful! Now I can mine 24/7 instead of when I only go to bed.

I threw both those values in and got:

-f100 - 197Mhash/s
-f200 - 180Mhash/s

and the Activity indicator on the card flickers around the 90% mark. Just to see that this would work the way I wanted, I let it run and then started a 1080p HD movie and the Mhash/s dropped to compensate for the movie and the activity still flickered between 80-90%. But what I love is I can now do anything while it mines.

works nice, I've mined a few fractions of a btc and fractions of a namecoin.

I can only do 6mhash.  It was more for me to figure out how to do it so that when I can buy a mining rig I know how.

Anybody have any extra flag values (OpenCL / Phoenix) to keep the GPU say at 50% load or lower allowing someone to use the PC whilst mining?

-f100 works

or -f200 works even better.

works with opencl

can someone please confirm that you need atleast 1 CPU core per GPU while mining on windows with GUIminer???

For example if I have 2 6990's which is 4 GPU's does that means I need a 4 core CPU??? or can I run it on duel core CPU(AMD II 260)??



No, you do not need 4 cores. You can affilate all miners to one core - that is why that cpu core affilation was done.

You can manually add a pool by editing the servers.ini file in the guiminer directory. I pushed a change out on github with the changes made. On a side note it seems bitcoin.lc is redirecting to bitcoins.lc, which one is correct?

Sorry I meant bitcoins.lc!

2) Can you add the bitcoin.lc pool to the list of drop downs in your next build please. I know it can be manually added, which I have done, just nice to have it in there, thanks =)

1) Does the client reconnect if there is a break in the internet? My wireless router disconnects from time to time and on some of those times it gets a new IP. Just want to make sure the client will reconnect with the new IP and that there are no issues.

I'm looking to redirect the rate, accepted, and stale values through a socket so I can use rrdtool or nagios to monitor my miners. Would it best to add this directly to poclbm and phoenix, or piggyback off guiminer?

Is it possible to mine with 4 5830 not crossfired with guiminer??? I'm having some problems...
I Have the latest version of guiminer, win7 x32 Ultimate, Catalyst 11.5, SDK 2.1, monitor + 3 dummy plugs.
Windows recognizes all 4 cards, and guiminer, too (as cypress 1,2,3 and 4). When I click start (any of them or all of them) Connecting... msg is all I got!!!

Can you please release a version with updated miners included?!
There are never version out here in the forum which are faster then the included ones.

In addition, there is an issue with the Phoenix 1.50 miner. Status is not shown/updated correctly. -v flags helps but still not 100% good
Please have a look at this..Thanks!

In addition, thank you very much for all the effort you've put in this piece of software, it's very useful! Appreciate it!  Smiley
