I'm getting the error Connection Problems again after a good week and 2 days of it working perfectly.

I cannot understand why this occurs?

It really is perplexing. The Pool I'm part of is fine, so why it is having random connection issues is beyond me.

I'm getting some connection issues, after the latest miner update. Guiminer keeps saying "retrying", "error connection to server" after a while. My internet is fine and the miner was working perfectly before I updated. I cleared my .ini and the problem is still there. Could there be a problem at the pool I'm using? It's Deepbit.

You have idea to add phoneix & phatk, besides poclbm, coz all share same methods.

in poclbm i get 270-300, but in phatk i get 313 Mhash/s

Besides, i added -s flag & miner says starting only & never starts.

dishwara, what you've mentioned has sounded here before...however Kiv is noone's slave, if you guys wanna have a feature implemented why won't you offer a bounty?
Say a 10 btc? hum?

Are you using a value with -s? You need to give the sleep time as well, something like -s0.01 which would mean to sleep for 0.01 seconds between runs. On my GPU that amount of sleep cuts the hash rate roughly in half, you can experiment to find the balance between temperature.

If you are giving the sleep time already and it's still not working, let me know and I'll investigate further

Also, it is possible to have a backup pool using the -f flag. See the FAQ in first post.

Hey kiv,

Nice update but i cant get -s to work. Says its starting but never does.

Here are some features that would be nice:

Detect if mouse is being used and switch to -f100 and then back to -f0 if mouse and keyboard are inactive or a movie is playing ?
Able to put backup pool if first one is offline ?

Thanks.

Has anyone found a solution for the whole each miner using a CPU core thing? Right now, I've got 2 GPUs with 2 miners each (4 total miners, 2 that I'm actually using and 2 backup in case the others fail) and it's using the entirety of my i5-2500k.

The thread linked to in the FAQ is just more people saying "hey I have this too." without any solutions. Sad

Also, Kiv - 1.5 bitcoins sent your way.

This is a wonderful interface; you've made things so user friendly.

new/alternative mining backends could be nice, but they slightly more bloated and have some dependencis.

Looks like something weird happened to your miner settings, if you clear them it should work.

1) Go Start -> Run and type in the box %APPDATA%\poclbm
2) This should open a folder with a file called poclbm.ini inside. If you could send me that file it would help me figure out what went wrong. If you delete that file it will get rid of your miner settings and you should be able to start fresh.
3) Try restarting the miner now.

Hey Kiv

I'm getting an error when I try and launch the GUIminer
and it informs me to view the guiminer.exe.log

and this is what is in the log:

I just changed my hardware from a 460GTX to a 6950, I've already updated/uninstalled the nvidia/ATI drivers, installed ATI 11.5 and SDK 2.4
I've resetted and uninstalled/installed the drivers many times and have yet to get this error fixed....
I can load up the non-gui style to mine but not your version after the hardware changed, the guiminer worked fine with the 460gtx

Thanks in advanced

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-20110521.exe (self-extracting archive)

Remember, if you're making money with this miner you should send me even 0.1 Bitcoin. The previous release got over 12,000 downloads and my total donations over that period were under 9 BTC, so I know you guys can do better

Changes:

- Add BTC Guild mining pool to the list of presets.
- Add -s flag to poclbm that can reduce temperatures by forcing the GPU to sleep. Thanks to llanwj for coding this.
- Add Spanish language support. Thanks to BitcoinsWallet for contributing this.
- Add checkbox to disable warning about OpenCL not being installed.
- Reset count of shares accepted/stale on change of server.
- If balance API token is rejected by the server, prompt user to enter a new token.
- Fix issue where the About dialog would be cut off.
- Console logs now include a timestamp on all messages.

Wow!

I'll donate a tiny percentage each time I reach my payout threshold.

Got it solved, thanks. =)

Just required a driver update.

EDIT:

So, I'm getting roughly 6 MHash/s on my Quadro FX 770M. Is this normal? ( couldn't find it in the comparison thread... )

The password is right, (compared it in the console), and it was working fine on another computer I configured it on (different network, so maybe that's the problem...). Does the program require any connectback functionality? I can telnet out to port 8882, but if it's trying to connect to me on any port, that's going to be a problem.

no NAT/firewall/router on you PC/outside it[including you ISP] ?
ie can you check from internet thats this port REALLY open ?

Update:

So I found out I have an OpenCL video card and didn't know it, but the GUI is reporting that I don't. Also, I tried running poclbm.exe directly, and got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 3, in
File "pyopencl\__init__.pyo", line 3, in
File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 12, in
File "pyopencl\_cl.pyo", line 10, in __load
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Just updated to the latest version of python, still no dice.

did you sure thats OpenCL REALLY installed ? check you "Catalyst install manager" uninstallation options in "Custom" mode without actually uninstall anything[something with "OpenCL" or "SDK" in list ?]
