I just got my new cards: 2x HD 6950 2GB flashed to 6970. Got them up and running at stock (800/1250) @ 300-350 Mhash/s

any tips for flags?

Running catalyst 11.5b or whatever newest on guru3d is.

A "little" bug report.

I got a rig with Radeon HD 6850 and AMD penomen II X4 955 CPU. The GPU works great with 195Mhash/s, but the CPU is stuck on "starting.."

Trying to run it manually, then i get:

guiminer and deepbit seem to be working fine for me now,
what sort of problems are you getting

When I am on page http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=3878.0

I click on [ guiminer-20110521.exe (self-extracting archive) ]
I get a 500 internal server error page.
if I try save link as, it saves as a html 500 error page, even if I try to save as all files.
Same thing on all the 4 computers i have here.

I thought the , https//githuib site was down. I get a 500 server error if I try to navigate to the github site.
Must be something else if you can get the site and the download.

hi guys,

i have some problems with the GUIMiner.

Hardware:
Gainward HD4870 Golden Sample 1024MB GDDR5
Caralyst 10.11 + ATI Stream SDK 2.4

after 10-20 minutes i started GUIMiner i get those kind of msg:

Code:

2011-06-03 03:32:18: Listener for "Default": 03/06/2011 03:32:18, Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC

Code:

2011-06-03 03:47:28: Listener for "Default": Verification failed, check hardware!

after this i didnt get any shares of bitcoins....it is not everytime the same time i get this errors... sometimes after 5min sometimes after 1 hour...
my question is. is it a problem that to many peaple use this pool and the server is overflowed .. or is it the programm or a fail setup ?

I don't really understand the -f flag. Could someone explain in plain to me?

it's basically the miner's priority setting. the lower you set it, the higher the priority. setting it to highest priority (-f 1) will generally eek out a little bit more hashing (5-10%), at the cost of slowing everything else to a crawl, whereas setting it lower will slow hashing a bit, but maintain responsiveness.

i run mine at -f 240 and it results in no performance hit in gaming.

Hello

I got my bitcoin wallet to work. Would like to mine using my gpu. 4 days now still haven't managed to get any program to work properly.
Is there anyway that GUI program will ever be back online. The Github site has been down for 4 days I doubt it's coming back up any time soon.
Does anybody have a copy of the file? Could you post it somewhere.
I'm presently using a quad core intel with a nvidia 9500GT.

yeah but with the recent problems, it's best to have a backup plan Wink

I'm using this and when I've got some cash I'll doante Cool

a couple of questions / suggestions

if I have 2 or more pools configured is it best to stick with one or can I run 2 pools at once ?

or could it be altered so it if one pool stops responding it auto switches to the next one in line, then does a check for your main pool each hour [or so] and switches back ?

Q: Can I connect to more than one pool with the same GPU? For example have a main pool, and a backup pool in case the main one goes down?
A: Yes, you can use the -f flag for this. A value of -f60 or higher in the backup pool's miner will cause it to yield most of the GPU power to miners with a lower f value (default is 30).

I usually have all my miners mine at one pool. This way, you can analyze your daily/weekly stats. It's harder to know how much you make from jumping around or simultaneously mine at several pools.

I can't get the guiminer client to open. I'll double click it and the icon will appear in my system tray for a few seconds and then disappear. I'm running win 7 x86 with an i7. I downloaded the latest drivers, etc and still..nothing. Any tips?

"Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC"

Guys, what does it mean? I see it so often in GUIMiner console.

Means whatever pool you are hashing with is overloaded / not replying 100% of the time.

Has nothing to do with this program, but everything with whomever runs the pool.

Best I know, at least.
