Topic: python OpenCL bitcoin miner - page 35. (Read 1239060 times)
I've had one generation with 20110204 on Fedora 14 Linux, with a 5870 card on SDK 2.1.
I've gotten successful generations using version 20110204. Yesterday and three days ago.
This is on Win 7 with HD 5870 using catalyst 11.1 (SDK 2.3)

Is anyone else having trouble, with not finding any blocks at all with the last 2 versions of this miner post 2/1/11?
I've mined for well over 5 or 6 days with nothing and I'm running about 630khash between the 2 cores on my 5970. I'm just using -v -w 128 -f 120........... I haven't found a block in what seems like far too long.

It's only working with low difficulty like testnet or mining pool work.
Sabotaged?
My best settings:
Windows 7 x64, Stream 2.3, AMD HD6870 (970/1100)
with "-v -w 128 -f 60" - ~247 khash/s
with "-v -w 128 -f 0" - ~250 khash/s, desktop is lagging

get rid of "http://:8332" from the host line, and put the port number after the "--port=" switch.

I'm getting 340000 khash/s on each of my 6970s. Running Stream SDK 2.3... I will see about downgrading in the near future since I have read 2.2 is faster.
My main question is each of the instances of poclbm is maxing out a core. I have noticed if I max out all 4 cores with prime95, my khash/s does not increase, so it seems the miner is just wasting cpu cycles? Is there something I can do to address this or is it a problem with the program?

I personally run it on Win 7 64bit, but with cat 10.12 and Stream SDK 2.2 and CPU utilization is pretty low, actually close to 0% Could you please try with Stream 2.2 and post results?

Can anyone confirm they're still finding blocks solo mining with this miner?
There was a version which had a problem, generally not calculating correct hashes above first 32 bits. But with 20110204 I was able to find blocks on test net (which had significantly higher than 32 bits difficulty by the time).
Do you at least get 'invalid or stale' message? This should show up from time to time even if miner is broken. Bitcoin will reject the solution. But I really can't imagine other reason for not seeing anything, not even 'invalid' message - the one and only reason to not see any message for a long time is difficulty.
I am by no means qualified in the ins and outs of mining programming for Bitcoin, but empirical observation really seems to me like something is vastly less efficient and/or broke from 2 or 3 versions prior to the current. Any discussion from m0mchil or other miners would please be welcome.
I upgraded about 2 Ghash/s worth of miners a couple days ago with the latest version and haven't found anything since either. Maybe it's just a spell of bad luck. I'll update the thread if anything manifests.
Can anyone confirm they're still finding blocks solo mining with this miner? Just a sanity check, as I haven't found anything solo mining in quite some time @ 625,000khash/s. I've found no blocks with the current version at all as of yet.

I am getting that too. Was that ever resolved?
This is an OpenCL problem. Is
$ cd /opt/ati-stream-sdk-v2.1-lnx64/samples/opencl/bin/x86_64
$ ./CLInfo
working correctly?
It's my fault. I had too many miners running. I think this comes up when the device is in use by another miner!
I wonder was that the case with the other person that had that error message?
EDIT: Actually, no... this is weird. I am logged in as the same user via two SSH tunnels. On one of them the miner is working, on the other I get this message (even if the other one is not running). Any explanation for this?

Hi,
I try to install the GPU miner under Ubuntu and I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "poclbm.py", line 23, in
platform = cl.get_platforms()[0]
pyopencl.LogicError: clGetPlatformIDs failed: invalid/unknown error code
I would appreciate some help.
I'm using an 5850 and Ubuntu 10.4.
Thank you.

Anyone got 6950/6970 w/ any recommended settings? Any results?
I have a 6950 with unlocked shaders (not a 6970 bios) and I get about 253 Mhash/s at the default clocks with -f 5 -w 256. I'm currently running it at 880 core / 1300 memory, with -f 5 -w 128 -v, which gives me about 282 Mhash/s. I'm using the 10.12 driver and SDK 2.3.
Got it running on OS X.
Install MacPorts if you haven't already,
sudo port -dv install py26-pyopencl
and install the json rpc library.
Speed isn't great though - only about 4700khashes/sec on an i7 MBP's GT330M. 2700khashes/sec on the CPU (about right I think).

Weird, I just tried 2.2, but same result.
wierd, so your GPU Caps viewer sees the card but poclbm.exe can't. I remember read from somewhere you can't run this remotely via RDP, the driver won't load in a RDP session.
