i will pay 50 BTC to whoever updates this miner to make it work with sdk 2.1 on 64bit windows 7, since a bunch of people have this problem. Seems like it would be something really simple....

Perhaps our modified version will work for you. It's got an EXE and sources.

http://www.bitcoinpool.com/poclbm-mod.zip

Yes - I tested this, working on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Stream SDK 2.1, Catalyst 10.11

You have to remove all of the ATI software on your computer, wipe, then reboot into safe mode and use Driver Sweeper (from Guru3D).

After that, reboot and install the driver + stream SDK, setup the miner and you're set. I'm getting a good 15 mh/s boost over 2.2 and 2.3

None of the official poclbm releases worked with this setup, not sure why. I'd bet it's the 10.11 driver. I'll be updating to 11.2 soon and I'll report back on the changes it makes.

And puddinpop's miner worked, but only at about half speed, for what it's worth.

15 Mh/s on a total of? What card are you using?

Currently am testing all poclbm versions with 10.11 and 2.1 on 7 x64, will report back soon.

What card do you have and why do you want it to work with ati stream sdk 2.1?

Just tried a clean install, 2.1, 10.11 drivers, and latest poclbm, didn't work. Updated to 2.2 and it did.

Same here. Though I tried updating Catalyst before Stream SDK and it still didn't work.

My internet broke today so my miners did nothing for several hours. Would it be possible to modify poclbm so that it continues to work on the last received task when no connection is available?

Usually this can be done for 60 seconds maximum, because miner's job is changed constantly, at least every 10 minutes when new block is created in network.
Even when each new transaction appears in queue, you should consider it and take new job.
Your work will be absolutely useless if you just continue calculating old task.

all versions of poclbm see all 4 gpus with crossfire on.

all versions of poclbm SEE all GPUs on my system too,
but they don't WORK on all GPUs, the 2nd GPU only returns invalid results running the latest version.

lucky you if it works on your site, i never got it to run (with versions newer than 20101126).

There is no crossfire issue for me, all versions of poclbm see all 4 gpus with crossfire on.
For the SDK issue, I just want to see someone verify that sdk 2.1+windows 7 64bit has worked for them before I go around making another partition to do a clean install on.

Can someone with Windows 7 64bit post that they use this please?

Also, my 2x5970 rig only works with crossfire ON fwiw

i never got poclbm to work with SDK 2.1 on windows, using 2.2 never causes any cpu-usage though.

and for your 5970-issue,
the prob on windows is, that you can not deactivate the internal-crossfire on 5970s and still use both GPUs.

to make poclbm run on both GPUs (with crossfire ON), i always used 2 different miner-versions,
-poclbm_ on core1
-poclbm_20101126 on core2
which worked fine 'til i got bored and plugged my 5970 to an ubuntu-box.

does poclbm + sdk2.1 work for anyone on windows? I cannot find a single instance of anyone posting that this works.

I really want it to work because 2.2 and 2.3 jack the cpu usage through the roof and they are slower.

I have HD5770 with 2.1 and 11.2 drivers(only drivers, no CCC) working with poclbm - 156Mhash/s and winxp sp3

I had sdk 2.3 initially, but deinstalled for 2.2, then for 2.1, which gave me best results in terms of speed

I use 11.2 including CCC with 2.2 Stream... works like a charm

Eadem mutata resurgo

I got this weird problem been trying to track down and wondering if it is the poclbm.py miner or something else. Or if anyone else has seen a similar problem.

Linux, ubuntu 10.10, 2x5970 stock clocks. Code all seemed to be running okay and then system started hanging intermittently, seemingly unpredictably. After some testing found that it was the poclbm process running on the default display adapter that was causing the issue. Now, after getting progressively worse, anytime a poclbm process is launched on the default display adapter it hangs immediately.

EDIT: I also noticed that when the process on the default display GPU was running it was churning up a lot of CPU time, ten times more than other poclbm instances on the other GPUs ... now cannot launch a poclbm process on default display GPU without a system lock-up.

It is possible (albeit rare) that you found a block but within seconds somebody else also found a block and he transmitted it to more nodes (or not necesseraly more but the node that found the next block) and "won" the race of including it in the blockchain. It's also possible the the network connection to the outside world was down at the time and your bitcoin daemon hasn't transmitted the block you found.

I checked my logs and it appear it's a former case. My bitcoin received your block but also the competing one:
http://blockexplorer.com/block/000000000000a3f568a8da7609081b020d13a19bb77ca59df0141148330d9aa1

The competing one was the block that the next miner included and you lost the race.

Analyze the debug.log of the bicoin daemon you are running but I'm afraid you were very unlucky.

Oh man, this makes me sad. This guy actually found a block (should take him 17 days to find one at 150Mh/s) and he got beaten to it Sad
