question 1: no idea, but it worked with a GPU on a computer of mine without needing to install or update anything.
q2: used my gpu automatically. you can turn gpu and cpu mining on and off as well as set how many threads(cores) the cpu uses.
q3: dunno, it worked good on my pc. though after 5-12 minutes of use hash rate dropped by 75%, no idea why... i don't use it for mining so its a sorta non issue for me so never checked into it.

also never had any program errors before and love this little app. hope the problem gets solved

Does Ufasoft miner need SDK for working with GPUs?
Does Ufasoft miner automaticly use GPU mining if SDK are installed and there is GPU available?
How does Ufasoft miner work actually with GPU mining?

@Ufasoft
Did you UPXed this version? Why is only 198 KB?

EDIT
I get error on Win XP SP3, friend tested on W7 same error.

Is will not be good, because getwork updates its own data (new transactions included to block) a few tmes every minute.

If miners will not call GETWORK frequently then many Bitcoin transactions will get stuck

Ok, can you allow a higher askrate? I usually for a CPU input at least 10-11 minutes on a getwork.

No

Any changes to the cpu mining code?

0.18 uploaded

With OpenCL support.
Single miner process can work on multiple GPU devices

So you split the nonces to try between threads and give them the same work? Cool.
Is it possible we can increase the askrate above 60?

Now single getwork used. Its range distributed between working threads.

what's wrong,
some antivirus show virus warn

ufasoft, does your miner get new work per thread, or two threads work on the same getwork? The latter would be better for in future versions.

Is there any chance of this taking advantage of the enhancements present in the 32nm intel processors?

I was just about to ask this as well.

Is source code will be updated to 0.16?

Hi

please fix so it can work on deepbit.net...thanks

Hi

+1

Currently Ufasoft Miner is disabled on deepbit.net, can you fix it?

From Tycho:

The LP issue may be caused not by DDoS. Some versions of Ufasoft miner are trying to use LP incorrectly, thus we had to disable LP for Ufasoft miner at the pool side.

I'm compiling from source for linux. I'm having an issue mining continuously as it seems once bitcoin-miner has connection difficulties it must be restarted by hand. using minerd I can get a few error messages that might be indicative of the issue. I'll post below the same thing i posted in the deepbit mining pool thread, Is it possible to get a newer release for the linux version? I don't seem to have this issue with ufasoft on windows.


I'm unable to continuously mine with ufasoft cpu on linux, using minerd i can mine but at a much slower rate than is normal. It however exposes a few errors that show what the issue seems to be right now (for the last few days) with deepbit. I'll also post in the ufasoft thread to see if the miner can be improved.

I can mine for a little bit with ufasoft and then it goes to 0 when it hits a period of unavailability.

Tycho, is this due to the varying DDoS on the website that is going on, or is there another issue. Prior to this start of the DDoS, my linux clients were the highest producing Mhash/sec and they are essentially reduced in effectiveness to 30%.

You have a loose scew me thinks.
