Are you overclocking your 5870? It is possible to add the setting you want, but better is to fix the error so you don't have to restart it all the time

Kiv I have a request... If it is possible...

My 5870 stops to mine every 1-2 hours (some hardware failure msg) and all I have to do is to manually click stop/start mining.
Is it possible that miner do it for me, to make an option stop/start mining every x minutes or something???

I think that it will be useful for the others, too. Because some of my friends have the similar issue, miner stops to mine (not so often as mine but every 24-48 hours). And all we have to do is manually click stop/start mining!

Imagine how big problem it can be if it stops to mine during the night or if we are far away from our precious gold diggers

Thanks in advance!

Can you add mtred.com to the pools list? I set it up fine on my machine of course: I just want to see a ton of pools on that list to encourage competition, and help prevent "the Deepbit scenario" Grin

I have noticed that whenever I have a webpage with a Flash video open, my GPU throttles down and my Mhash/s falls to about 50%
When I close the page, GPU throttles back up and Mhash/s returns to normal.

If you could find what causes this and add a switch to the GUI that'd be great, because sometimes it's useful to calm my video card down (quiter fan, etc.)

Cheers, Stuee

recent versions of flash utilize hardware acceleration on supported graphics cards, which is why the hashrate would drop. no idea why it would throttle down though, unless the driver is figuring that since the 2D components are active, it can throttle down the shaders.

1000 (150) means 1000 shares were accepted total, including 150 in the past hour. It just gives you another measure of how fast you are mining. I've added this question to the FAQ.

Something is off with your setup. Other people have had this issue too and I'm not sure if it was resolved, but you can search the forums or check the FAQ in the first post for a link to more info on it.

I've been wondering..

I'm running two cards and my CPU is at constant 50% load, eg 1 GPU takes 25% CPU - does anyone know is this normal behavior for GUI miner?

I am only on one card, but:
Task manager poclbm(the actual client) is using < 2% CPU and guiminer is literally using 0-1%. It should be pure GPU unless you chose another mode I guess ors omething is wrong.

I have 2 poclbm each running at 25%. System runs very stable but not sure why it eats at cpu.

Could u add soon hotkeys to stop/start mining? Would be helpful to just click hotkey to stop mining rather then wait till it will refresh with -f0 flag.

If you want to keep your clocks at a certian level you can just set them with afterburner.

I assume you mean MSI Afterburner?

I tried 2-3 overclocking tools already, the general consensus was: BSOD, less Mhash/s without a reason despite stock/faster speeds (around 10-15 less) and hangs if I open CCC after having used any like that.

So I was hoping to avoid any non-CCC tool. Tongue

Hello,

I'm running a single 6970 but all I'm getting is 80-80.9 Mhash. Is there some sort of "extra flag" number that I should input to make this go faster?
Thanks

Seems like I don't see "unconfirmed reward" when mining on BTCMine. There's nothing wrong with the API (I checked), so I guess it's a bug.

Sure, I can add BTCGuild. As mentioned you can run it manually using the "Other" option or by editing your server.ini, but it's no trouble to include it automatically in the next release.

While we're on that - do you have any idea how to make it use more load or simply enforce the full 3D clock mode on the AMD cards?
My 5770 keeps drifting back to the 400 MHz core for some reason, and it seems more randomness than anything else for it to come back.

Cooling is fine, always < 70C GPU, so I have no idea what it really is.

Should I be looking at the -f flag?

A fallback pool option would be helpful, if you aren't able to connect for X amount of time or X percent of the last X minutes, go to the fallback pool and mine there for X amount of time. MTRed went down last night, luckily it was while I was still around otherwise an entire night of mining would have been wasted.

Can you add automatic support for BTCGuild?
http://forum.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=7760.0

Also, a README file with all the possible flags would be nice, combined with what they do.

Other than that, your GUI is AWESOME!!

The poclbm page/wiki/readmes are essentially what you want for the flags, as GUIminer is just a GUI to poclbm.

As for adding BTCGuild, it's literally a handful of lines in the server.ini or just using the "other" option and plopping in the BTCGuild hostname(port seems the same, i.e. 8332). That should pretty much be it, although I have no idea if that "long polling" stuff is an issue or not.
