there is any way to remove the "missing logo.ico" error?

Create file "logo.ico" in GUIminer folder (copy bitcoin.ico to logo.ico, for example). Or reinstall GUIminer.

I hope someone can help me with a problem I've been having with guiminer on a 890fxa-gd70.
I can run 3 6870s no problem. But when I install a 4th 6870, guiminer crashes when I start it with this error:
...
I'm running 11.5 ati drivers with 2.4 sdk. I ran the ati driver install with all the cards plugged into monitors. All four card show up in windows including gpu-z. GPU-z shows that OpenCL is available on all 4 cards.

1. Which version of Windows do you use? You may have problems with "Program Files" folder under 64bit Windows. Solution: move your guiminer to another folder or use 32bit Windows.
2. Connective two cards with two(!) CrossfireX cables and enable CrossfireX in Catalyst Control Center (Perfomance->AMD Crossfirex configuration)
3. Start GUIminer

If you have any questions - PM me.

I'm now able to mine for bitcoins at a pool and I selected my graphics card in the device section but when I ctrl+alt+del it shows that the program is using 25% of the CPU too and after a while my laptop shuts down. The file in question is podbm.exe.

Hi Kiv,

Any ideas on this issue I'm having:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3878.msg192377#msg192377

I'm runing windows 7 ultimate 64 bit ... clean install with all updates, updated java, and latest version of guiminer.

I've seen others having this problem as well:

Last version of bitcoin client have known issues with solo mining under windows.
If you soloing under windows, its better to use previous version.

i have to wonder if that is because -server mode does not allow connections by default
and trying to figure out that you need rpcallowip=all or what not in bitcoin.conf would fix it.
i am running the newest version of both programs at home right now and they work fine.
windows xp, nvidia 8800GT (just for fun/testing), and which is odd, the cuda miner, does
rather poorly compared to the default miner. But the default miner chews up 100% cpu while
the cuda does not.

My host is Windows 7. I just tried the GPU Caps Viewer and (sadly) it only sees the generic VGA driver that VM Workstation has forced upon me.

Can you point me to anybody that has had success with a VM configuration and mining with their host GPU?

Thanks again!

I haven't heard of anyone getting it to work. You can try downloading GPU Caps Viewer and see if OpenCL is available from within the VM.

What's your host system? You could also try running it directly in Linux from source. I don't officially support this but a few people have reported success.

Kiv -

Is it possible for me to perform BTC mining from a Windows XP VM (valid Workstation 7 license) using my Radeon 5870? I cant seem to get GUIMiner 5.21 to recognize anything beyond one processor on my host i7 machine.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or if it simply cannot be done?

Thanks for the n00b help.

Excellent, you known what is its the only thing it lacks? an automated way to set cpu affinity of miners.

You can have a backup pool using the -f switch; see the FAQ in the first post for details. I'm not interested in implementing anything more complicated because I don't want to clutter the interface.

I am using GUI-Miner and i want to have a feature built in.

Pool-Switching in case when a pool is down. (Time-based after 2 retries for about 20 seconds, editable, favourites, etc.)

Is it possible to include this in one of your next releases?

I think you're probably right. I don't add the rpcallowip=* when creating the bitcoin.conf, and the old version I'm using now of the client (0.3.20) doesn't require it. I'll try updating my client and look into it for the next version

Quote from: fcmatt on June 09, 2011, 05:19:31 PM

kiv,

i am not sure if this will help or not but i think by default the bitcoin program does not
allow connections on 127.0.0.1 by default in server mode. I was playing around with your
older version of guiminer on XP and had bitcoin installed. I used your program to create a solo
password and it created the bitcoin.conf file but did not add rpcallowip-all or whatever it is
line in the conf file.

Until I added that guiminer would not connect. I have to wonder if you had your program add
that line or check for it when running in server mode for the first time it would stop the cannot
connect/rpc issue we see here all the time.

but perhaps i am wrong.. dunno. just tossing it out there.

I take it the M in its name means its a mobile. If so it is very well possible that it is that "slow".
I have, for example, a 4850 with roughly 70MHash, and a 4670 mobile with 20.

Also NVIdia isnt that fast anyway.
But you can check: Have you selected your GPU as device and CUDA for mining?

Hello.

I am getting about 7 Mh/s running on GUIMiner on Intel i5 CPU and about 5 Mh/s running on CUDA. My GPU is Geforce GT 415M. Shouldn't the GPU be much faster than CPU? What could be the problem?

That's a first... you could try moving the miner folder somewhere outside Program Files. The only thing I can think right now is that the program isn't allowed to access Program Files for some reason.

I am having problems with the balance indicator. It says bad response from server. I keep on refreshing and it continues to say that. I also did not add anything in the tab for balance, and dont want to stop mining just to add it.
