Hey momchil, i'm getting loads of these while running your latest git code, weird thing is that I'm getting these messages on only one of the two cores of my 5970, I don't really know what it means, should I downclock it a bit ?

Code:

16/12/2010 23:57, 1a8eed81, invalid or stale
16/12/2010 23:57, 68c13670, invalid or stale
16/12/2010 23:59, 910435fc, invalid or stale
290592 khash/s

Oh! It is exactly what I reported you! I find in server logs that one of your miner is sending corrupted results. Only one, second one is OK. Please try to downclock it a bit.

Maybe missing a dll?

Moved actual search to separate thread to avoid IO overhead. It wasn't a problem when used with local bitcoin client, but become a problem with slush's mining pool.

Davout, check if crossfire is switched off. Or try with lower clock. Xelister reported on #bitcoin-dev similar issues with 5970 and Diablo's miner.

So you're the reason I can't mine any coin... Wink

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.

The new version seems like it may be running at 1-2mhash more than the previous version Grin

Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.

Regarding my previous post about the "host out of memory" error - I figured that on some systems if you install ATI Catalyst into C:\Program Files\Ati Technologies there is some sort of an error and it is not possible to open the Catalyst Control Centre (this was causing my issue).

The solution to this is to completely uninstall all ATI software and put it into a different directory - I put it into C:\Program Files\Ati and the problem was solved.

Apparently AMD are aware of this issue.

Nice, with Bitcoin 0.3.19, poclbm 20101214 and catalyst 10.12 I get around 82000 khash/s now instead of 78000 with the old versions.

May be add "silent" or "demonize" switch?

Added update of block time every second and support for targets < 32 bits. Output now shows block hash and acceptance status.

It's me again...

I managed to connect to my bitcoin -server from two different remote machines.

With the third one I am getting the following error:

Code:

pyopencl.RuntimeError: CommandQueue failed: out of host memory

Does this mean my server has no more memory to accept more miners?

Thanks m0mchil. RTFM. :/

I think you should substitute remoteip for the actual private IP of the local machine where the server is running (usually 192.168.x.x)

Has anyone tried connecting to the bitcoin-server from a different machine using m0mchil's miner?

I am using Windows binary poclbm.exe. I have my bitcoin -server running on a local machine and have no problems connecting from poclbm.exe and generating using my GPU on the same local machine.

When I try to connect to the same bitcoin -server from a different PC using:

poclbm --user=user --pass=password --host=remoteip --port=8332

I keep on getting the message "Unable to communicate with bitcoin RPC".

The firewall on the PC running bitcoin.exe is disabled.

Is what I want to achieve at all possible?

It's finally up and running. 22 Mhash on average on a Nvidia 9800GT

But it only works with bitcoind.

And I had to start it like that:

Code:

 ./bitcoind -rpcuser=berserk9779 -rpcpassword=

and

Code:

./poclbm.py -d 0 --user=berserk9779 --pass=

It runs for 4-5 seconds, then asks me for my user-password again.

If you supply the user-password on the command line, you won't get asked for it again:

Code:

./poclbm.py --user=whatever --pass=whatever

That's not ideal from a security point of view, perhaps someone will suggest a better way.

Quote from: berserk9779 on December 12, 2010, 02:55:46 AM

By the way, before poclbm I need to run bitcoind. Is there an option to have it running with the gui open?

You can use bitcoin instead of bitcoind, provided you are using a recent version of Bitcoin (0.3.15 or later) and the latest version of poclbm. This gives you the GUI, plus OpenCL mining.

Or you can just edit poclbm source for a quick slightly securer dirty hack
