I think I found a bug.
If you do not have bitcoin ready, and run the miner, then get bitcoin ready
it will crash on windows vista x64

Hello

I am trying to compile your Linux source

It says I'm missing JWASM

Can't find it on apt, and i have found several implementations of the asm interpreter,  I was wondering which version you use?

I'm presuming that performance on Intel CPUs is staying the same?
Yes, some improvement for CPU can be made only for:
1. x64 because it has more registers.
2. CPUs with AVX

Nice! So Sandy Bridge CPUs should provider better performance..assuming that your miner will be updated to support AVX.

Could you please update release dates and version numbers in the first post of the thread to make it easier to keep track of whether or not people have the latest version? I'm currently running version 0.4.

Version 0.6 released.
Added: Improved performance on AMD Evergreen+ GPUs.

The first Post will show version and release month.

I wonder if this is as much performance as we're going to ever get out of CPUs.

Also I'm wondering how the new Sandy Bridge chips perform with this miner. Anyone have such a CPU and can report how ufasoft's miner performs on it?

Were there improvements for the windows side as well? Could you please update release dates and version numbers in the first post of the thread to make it easier to keep track of whether or not people have the latest version? I'm currently running version 0.4.

Thanks. Smiley

I know people always say CPU mining costs more in power, but now that the speed is this high is it worth it to CPU mine? When I had first got here and only knew how to CPU mine with the Bitcoin client and I got 6 mhash/s , which was higher than most others and they still told me don't bother. Now I am mining @ 285 mhash/s GPU add in the CPU and it's an even 300 mhash/s , so should I continue to CPU mine just GPU? What do you guys think?

I lowered the voltage on my CPU and temps are great at max load and I was able to mine with GPU and CPU stable for at least 18 hours straight so I know its stable.

Any opinions?

I would only mine with cpu if the added speed is significant. In your case, its just 5% faster, and your cpu is probably using at least 70W. It's up to you.

How did you figure out how many watts I would be using? That is something I don't really understand too much. I would like to be able to figure out how much my whole pc is using.

every CPU made has published figured on how much heat they output and heat output==power input.

My CPU at full speed is at 1.104V
My GPU is 1.163

And make sure that you are using the username of:

user.worker

not just user and not just worker.

Yea I know , i caught myself typing *@* instead of *.*

Code:
start bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -g no -u xxx-p xxx -o http://127.0.0.1:8332

Is the lack of a space between the username xxx and the -p just a typo?  If not, you'll need a space there.  Also, if you're running the miner from the command line or a batch file already, the use of the start command is extra.

slushs mining.bitcoin.cz

I just set up slush's pool:
bitcoin-miner.exe -o http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u username.worker -p workerpass -v -t 4

When all else fails, put double(single on *n*x) quotes around your argument values.

What?
If you run Windows, put double quotes around the argument values (e.g. -o "http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332").

If you run a Unix-like system (Linux, BSD, OSX etc) put single quotes around the argument values (e.g. -o 'http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332').

I will try this, thanks...

Mining solo works just fine with these arguements with no quotes

Fixed
Code:
start bitcoin-miner -t 4 -v -g no -u xxx -p xxx -o http://127.0.0.1:8332


Edit: I've tried no quotes (works best), single and double quotes , changing the orders , I feel like it has something to do with the askrate (default is 15), i have tried to change it to 5,10,30 and still get 0 mhash/s
Anything have an idea? I am on slushs pool BTW
