Any chance of a compiled exe version of the new poclbm with backup pools?

I'm getting lots of "warning: job finished, miner is idle".
I have the same problem on Linux, but only when using -v (vectors) and a low value for -f.  I never see it if I don't use -v, and I never see it with default -f.  Haven't tested for very long with higher -f, but at 10 the messages are mostly gone.  I mine solo, of course, and getwork calls takes neglible time.  I made each call to getwork log a line, and the error shows up when it takes > 12 seconds between two getwork calls.  My askrate is 5 seconds, but there is usually at least six seconds between each call to getwork.  Sometimes much more.  A lower value for -a does not remove the long gaps between getwork calls which are followed by "miner is idle" messages.

What does it look like when you receive bitcoins from mining, does it display anything on the screen that shows the hash rate? Or does it just showup as a transaction in bitcoin?

You will normally be mining with a mining pool. You can see your shares at the pools website and there will your bitcoins grow to your account. You can then transfer them to your bitcoin address via the pool's website.

Hello.

I have ATI 4670.
I use poclbm_py2exe_20110428.
But when I start poclbm.exe it show only my CPU.
ATI APP SDK already installed(x64 for Win7 x64),
Here is GPU Caps Viewer
http://s1.ipicture.ru/uploads/20110609/353mu6k3.jpg
On key press "OpenCL demos -> Start"  got error "OpenCL GPU not supported on the selected platform. Bye..."

Why? 4670 don't support OpenCL?

Anybody know how to fix this error, or what is causing it??

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poclbm.py", line 27, in
    platforms = cl.get_platforms()
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code

I get this same error, when using poclbm.py under linuxcoin

Answering myself: it seems I had not accepted the AMD license agreement, and it seemed to solve the question.

It seems that bitcoin 0.3.22 does not work with the 4-28 version of poclbm for mining locally

I'm getting lots of "warning: job finished, miner is idle". Note that I'm using a Mac Pro on OS X. (The hardware is expensive and not mine, might as well use it. Wink ) It's an official 2006 Mac Pro with an official Apple 5770. (No hacks or flashes heres, all genuine hardware.)

Also I'm getting about 100MHash/s and the exact hardware when rebooted into Windows gets 180MHash/s. Although I think it's a driver issue, since, for example, I know that Apple's OpenCL compiler doesn't support vector mode or changing the work size, since all it does is Seg Fault.

Ok so the GUI verson of this program is not detecting my GPU (Radeon HD 4870) I am pretty sure that my hardware does not support OpenCL. How can I get this settup on my rig and will it even utilize my GPU since it does not dupport OpenCL. Other important specs: Windows 7 64-bit, Intel Core i5, latest version of Python, latest version of ATI-SDK with opencl.

No matter what I do I can't start it. I've redeleted and remade the files several times over. I've restarted my computer. I've quadruple checked the directories and I'm 100% sure that the bitcoin.conf file is in the right spot. However, everytime I start bitcoin -server I get the above message saying I have not set that yet I have!!!Thank you.

Have you filled it in as username.workername or just as username?
NVM i got it working. I put it as a text file, not a conf file,  i named it bitcoin.conf.txt so it was actually still a txt file.

Anyways, Now i've gotten this working with a mining pool at BTC Guild.
Im getting around 500mhash/s with my stock 5970.



Also, how do I quit the mining. Do I just close the command prompt, does it automatically save? What do I do? Thank you!

I followed the guide completely.

I am having a big problem. I followed everything that you have done but I can't get bitcoin.exe to open with -server. Every time, I get
 
Warning: to use the '-server' option, you must set rpcpassword = in the configuration file 'C:/Users/Nick/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf. If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions"
 
I have already made the bitcoin.conf file in C:\Users\Allen\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
 multiple times. This is what's inside it
rpcuser=youruser
rpcpassword=password

Guys. I've got a problem.

Does anyone know of a way to limit the videocard usage to like 50% or so in guiminer? My 4870x2 just can't take the heat (seriously!).  With the fan at 80-100%, I'm very quickly reaching temps of 90-95C when mining with even just one gpu. I'd love to run both but it would undoubtedly destroy my card.

Yes. I've cleaned out the video card. I do so every two or three months anyhow, and I don't see temps higher than 55C playing games, and not usually higher than 50C at idle.

Underclocking doesn't seem to help, and i've had limited succes with -f.  Just messing around adding 0's to -f100, I can get it to drop to about 65mh/s per gpu, but it still makes my card sit around 80C.  I have a thermaltake armor case, so airflow really isn't my problem (I runs games like eq2, ddo, and the like and never have a temp issue).

What can I do?

Thanks!

use WORKSIZE = 128 or 64, which will hash less, which will reduce temp.

I've just started using this method of pooling a few hours ago and I was wondering: When do the first results typically appear on the "My account" page of mining.bitcoin.cz?
It's been stuck at absolute 0 for a while now and I'm starting to wonder if I've done anything wrong, despite the black window displaying a steady 55000 khash/s for quite some time now.

Could anyone tell how to configure poclbm miner long-polling with pushpool?
I already asked about this in pushpool thread, but no answer.
Looks like long-polling doesn't work. Miner reports "long poll exception" and "invalid or stale" shares from time to time.
Also miner occasionally reports

Feature request:  add server failover support (if one pool fails, fall back to the second pool)

I've created a new thread covering a bounty for this new feature, that would be greatly appreciated by poclbm users.
