Is poclbm periodically checking for the correct generation of ashes or do i have to make a stability test after changing voltage/frequency?
sorry to post again, but now i'm encountering another problem.
i've got a 5970 card.
I run poclbm on GPU1 and i get no trouble.
but on GPU2 it crashes after a few seconds with "verification failed. check hardware"
so I tried underclocking the gpu to as low as it would go. the hash rate was down accordingly when i re-ran poclbm, but it still errored within 10 seconds.
Any ideas?
Thanks again
Edit:
i tried adjusting the worksize to a low number: "-w 8" . this reduced the MH/s to 38 MH/s (normal is 260)
however the program still exited with "verification failed" after a minute or two.
don't tell me this card is stuffed?

Hi, I'm getting the following error in windows. (XP sp3, fresh install today. )

Any ideas?
I have tried installing .net and C++ redistributable.
Much appreciated, thanks.
edit: after randomly installing various DirectX, C++ and .Net 2, 3, 4 versions, its now working.
Who knows which one you actually need??

Initially, you can start the miner on first device, then connect your monitor to second device to make it available. If this seems too difficult, see above link for a way to keep second device always active. This is a windows only problem.
I switched on crossfire (otherwise i didn't see second gpu)Initially, you can start the miner on first device, then connect your monitor to second device to make it available. If this seems too difficult, see above link for a way to keep second device always active. This is a windows only problem.
on 1-st GPU I ran last version with 100-250 kh/s
on 2-nd GPU I ran 20101126 50-150 kh/s
iI have problem with connection as well.
winXP, Catalyst 11.2, ATI Stream 2.2, with crossfire bridge.
I remember reading somewhere that it doesn't affect it at all. But I can't find where it was so take that with a grain of salt.
Does anyone have an estimate about how much bandwidth poclbm uses for mining? I'm worried that a x1 slot might not provide enough bandwidth for mining.
But still, isn't there a program equivalent to py2exe on Mac?
No, why would there be? py2exe is a nasty kludge for limitations inherent in Windows, and is completely unnecessary for a Unix system.
have you tried running it from the .exe file?
Buddy... I'm using Mac which is based on the UNIX backend. It's strictly python or shell for me, no .exe's.

Another thing that bothers us is the attempt to persuade our users to jump ship - one thing that Compute4Cash has done very differently from other alternatives is that we have engaged in paid-for advertising to grow our user base. We have paid a substantial amount of money to share this opportunity with other people, knowing also that at some point in the future this would equate to advertising for Bitcoin and getting more people involved. We therefore have invested in each and every user we have, so in a sense when you tell people to leave Compute4Cash you are running off with a portion of our investment. If it weren't for our advertising efforts very few, if any, of our users would be aware of Bitcoin or making money in this way right now - that alone justifies not only a premium over the <10% profit margin of other pools, but it also justifies our expectation of being treated with decency.
Puhlease. Gimme a break. You paid for advertising so now you own your customers or something? Sweet Jesus Christ, is this a general rule in your mind? Anyone paying for advertising can't have their customers lured away by a better deal?
While I can see both points, Compute4Cash did only join this thread in order to correct some inaccurate accusations. Spending money doesn't buy you customers, but it doesn't invite slander either. They could be a little more open on their site about being driven by bitcoin, but anyone who knows how to use google can find that out. Overall, they are contributing not only to mining, but I'm sure the press surrounding the "discovery" that is was driven by bitcoin hasn't hurt our community either. Regardless, this thread is completely unrelated to Compute4Cash, so can we please table this discussion. If you must reply, please do so in a different thread.

Right. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Works great, m0mchil. Doing 48M on my GTX 460 with -v -f 90 (so I can use my desktop; I could get much more but I don't want to OC and I want to use my computer). It even continues doing 41M while WoW is running with no really discernible loss in frame rate.
My only question is, What's your address? I want to send you some bitcoins! Even though I'm sure you don't need them

ctrl-c is the standard shortcut for stopping a command line program...
Thanks, caption obvious. 
But should just say 'bye', but that one time it got error'd

Hi all, the new version works perfectly, I've got 310-314Mhashes/s on my HD5870, but I've a noob question, if I run the program and stop a few hours later, it resumed his calculations when he was stopped? Or I've to run it non-stop until having 50BTC? (excuse my english ^^)
It's like playing the lottery every few seconds. Any one play can win the prize and subsequent plays aren't dependent upon previous plays. So, don't worry about turning it off whenever you don't want it on; everything will still average out.

I have no OpenCL support on my Gateway 450ROG with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 laptop running Windows XP Pro, 32 bit. As far as I can tell, I guess I can't run a GPU miner. I tried downloading one, but it's only got linux programs in the zip file I downloaded, nothing for windows. So, I don't get it. I guess I'll just keep using the RPC Miner screensaver I downloaded and got working.
