Hello,

I want use poclbm with my HD 5770 vapor-x.

You know the tools at install with poclbm ?

Thanks

If you're running Windows, the first link in the first post on this thread should be all you need. In the command prompt, navigate to the directory you unpacked poclbm to and type 'poclbm --help' to get an idea how to get started.

EDIT: Also, there's a link in there for Kiv's GUI if you're not comfortable with command line stuff.

New version is up. All changes are pool related.

- long polling is slightly better in preventing stales to escape to server;
- miner now supports 'time rolling' whenever there is 'X-Roll-NTime' header in HTTP response;
- improved check for end of current task

As far as -v goes, I'm not entirely sure, but I think it just allows the calculations to take place in a wider field. -f controls how long an instance of the miner can run for on the GPU (inverted to work on the concept of frame rate). The larger the parameter, the more opportunities other tasks (such as updating the desktop) have at actually executing. You may also want to mess with -w (work size). For your GPU, I would probably guess 128 is best, but 64 might work as well. I'm fairly certain 256 will spew randomly large hash/s at you and crash shortly thereafter.

If you haven't done so yet, at least check out puddinpop's RPC CUDA miner as this may net you a small boost in performance. It won't be much at first, but you can do some tweaking to get more.

Question.. what are vectors and how do they affect the performance of your miner specifically? If I recall correctly, vectors have something to do with stream processing?

Been playing around with the command arguments lately and when omitting -v, hashrate jumps up about +15M; for a lowly 8800GT, from 20M..

Decreasing the frames option makes the desktop almost unresponsive but contributes about +1M when setting from 120 to 10.. would like to know how this works as well.

Pretty good spelling and grammar for 10, better than some other users, hah.

Wonder if you'll get COPPA'd...

What do you want Bitcoins for, buying NX codes? Tongue

1. Thanks, I have no idea why I type everything like this.
2. COPPA'd?
3. NX? It's for some online game.

the listener not full time throwing up that error only occasionally

If it isn't permanent and the error appears only time to time, it might be problem on my side. Please PM me your pool login and time (ideally in UTC) when the problem appeared last time.

Sounds like it could be hardware related, try another router? Test your connection integrity, packets lost on a ping test?

May be the port 8332 blocked in your router.
allow transmission incoming & outgoing in router configuration page.
port forwarding google for your router model.

Like i said it's already on dmz, my computer is fully exposed to the internet without any intermediatary Sad

, the listener not full time throwing up that error only occasionally, pocldbm can accept and send new work but i get lost on efficiency because of this lost 'packet'.

Actually you need to install ati stream sdk 2.1 or 2.2, if you have 5000 series card or AMD APP 2.3, if 6000 series card.

Why i always got "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC"?, my ip is on dmz on my router+ bitcoin & pocldbm already on my firewall exclusion list, i have no problem with another p2p app.

10? fatcom4, you better ask your DAD to read about bitcoin in www.bitcoin.org.
If he reads he will know its benefit & then their won't be any problem both for you & him.
Actually you need to install ati stream sdk 2.1 or 2.2, if you have 5000 series card or AMD APP 2.3, if 6000 series card.
You better ask your dad to read about bitcoins & don't give unnecessary fears or problems to your dad.

Thanks for the link, but how is it easier to set up?

It's the GPU miner with graphic interface. You only need to download EXE file, click it and fill login/password for some pool. That's the simplest setup which I can imagine...

(I expect that you have already installed drivers with OpenCL support, but it is not Bitcoin-related).

Edit: Oh, I see that there is no official EXE version of poclbm GUI. Then you have to install 7zip extractor (let's google it) and unpack 7z file. The executable is inside that.

Uh, I downloaded 7zip before for the regular poclbm, and when I unpacked it using 7z, I double-clicked on the guiminer.exe thing and it said something about some problem with OpenCL support. I can't see exactly what it said right now because I'm 10 and before I can download anything I have to ask my mom/dad to type in the admin password (which I don't know) and they'll check to make sure it's "appropriate" before they type it in and I didn't think they'd think bitcoin was so I secretly installed it on my dad's computer but now my dad's computer is password protected and i don't know his password.

Oh dang, hold the right button. K thanks, I'll try that. Okay I did that, and now what should I put in the Target part?

Looks like you're not familiar with geeky stuff as black-and-white terminals, command line parameters and Matrix style logging. Then you should definitely try GUI for poclbm ;-).

win 7 64 with 2 6970's and I'm getting 50% usage. 25% for each gpu instance. Was on 2.3 11.2 and was having this prob. Now on 11.4 and 2.4 and still having the same usage prob. Doesn't fix anything.

Same here Litt (but on i7-920 so 4 cores with HT) shows me with 2 of 8 threads at 12.5% each. It seems having multi gpu's is the problem...

yup if you have multi gpu 2.4 won't do much for u.
