well i've got to say thanks for the intro and help and such but after this statement ---->
"The average time to generate a block at 250.0 Mhps, given difficulty of 15605632.6813, is 8 years, 26 weeks, 1 day, 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 58 seconds"
what with my lonely 1 gpu 6870 (250-300MH) sett-up that runs at approx. 288W on an elec rate of 14.43KW/h and a standing charge of 18pence a day......i'm out.
i'll be back next year when i have a Pi and a BFL Jal'
so long and thnx for all the fish.
sob.
Have fun, dont break anything whilst i'm gone.
good luck anonymailer on your work, i'll be around if you require build tests.
I just found a used 7970 from craigslist to stay in the game as my 5770 and couple NVIDIA GPU's weren't cutting it one bit. If you enjoy mining as much as the next bloke on here I would spend 2-300$ and pick up just one 7970 which has enough power to have some fun. Of course though now I want another
if i have BFG running and i start BFL i can not stop BFL ...
Whoops, there was a change to the internals and BFL wasn't corrected for it. I'll get on that, but the good news is that it'll work with the BFG Miner window! Did you finally get your pre-order?
poclbm window gives me this error :
What would be an advantage in using poclbm vs BFGminer anyways? btw BFGminer works just as well as previous version
Also how come it never saves our pool information on application startup? Would love to not have to add both LTC and BTC pools everytime please
it seems poclbm is only working with 10.8 right now, sorry about that. I'd say poclbm is quite good for people who don't want to tune the settings, it gets a good amount out of your hardware without stressing it too hard and scales back well with the default settings, but BFGMiner actually uses a poclbm kernel so in a way it's the same thing, but it's configured differently and you have a bit more control over it. I've actually considered dropping poclbm window because it's written in Python and that's a pain, but I think some people are using it.
I hear you on the having to config every version thing, it's high on the list of priorities!
Thanks for clearing up the Poclbm issue as I was always quite curious about that. When it worked I liked it but am just as happy using BFGminer. If you end up getting the other working on 10.7 again id be interested in playing with the differences but imo the saving config file is much more important
Thanks again for all your hard work in helping us mac users get up and running. This app really has paved the way for OSX Mining!
