python OpenCL bitcoin miner

[sniper_sniperson]

This happend after changing the miner with the latest version, Windows 7 x64:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "guiminer.py", line 14, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wx

GUIMiner won't starts

[zimpixa]

This means new version no longer uses old kernel? Or is there any option to select it? (If no please add one, cuz Im getting better results with version one on one card and better with old version on other one AND I still want to use guiminer)

In GUIminer folder, go to kernels ->phatk & in kernel.cl edit the line as said in other post.
Also, you can edit, kernels -> poclbm , kernel.cl

No need to download or wait for new GUIminer for this performance increase.

I know how to do it and I already done it. Thing is that new version has build-in fallover system, but phatk kernel causes lower GPU usage than old one (while using 2 cards). So after all its slower for me.

I've just started up a couple of machines with ubuntu 11.04 and dual ATI card on each - the machines are used for general work ,
however both of them using
the latest everything seem only to use one GPU core
I start 2 miners off .

start the 1st miner - it runs OK - 98% GPU usage - good temps
start the 2nd miner off , and it only uses about 7-15% GPU and the 1st miner slows down to a corresponding amount

any clues ?

[Stupidpal]

Best miner I've ever used. Hands down. Thank you so much!

[zimpixa]

Clue - '-f' value (rise it)

I have them at -f40 at first and -f2 on second card

[RaTTuS]

I had to re-install one machine and that was fine afterwards, the other still acts weird,
I'll check things out later on

New version is up.

It doesn't work:

Code:

mining.eligius.st:8337 28/06/2011 00:53:49, Setting pool 1GEJfZRPrK2BLSSx3r6gwtuFxCUvq3QytN @ mining.eligius.st:8337
Killed

Phateus - phatk kernel 124RraPqYcEpX5qFcQ2ZBVD9MqUamfyQnv

This is probably the problem. Phoenix with phatk also Killed-crashes.

Yep, it's phatk. If I add a swapfile, it will start (slowly). So phatk demands more system RAM for... a whole 1 MH/s improvement. Please offer the original kernel (with the recent patch) again!

please include Luke-Jr's way to display shares/stales!

On my a 4x6970 Rig (Windows 7), I was getting 1481 Mhash/s with the previous Poclbm.  With the new version it's now 1553 Mhash/s = 4.8% increase!

Thank you!!  Keep up the great work!!

could someone help me with poclbm and linux please? Im kinda new on linux...



I've installed poclbm, and everything went fine...



so to start it, I open the terminal and type:

cd poclbm/
./poclbm.py --blablablabla


and the miner goes fine, but I'm trying to make an autostart script/command so it initialize with ubuntu...

so I've created an .sh script and inserted inside

cd poclbm/
./poclbm.py --blablablabla


and I get ERRORS!!!!


what a fuck should I do?

Regarding the new failover feature --

I set up all my miners to use it, and it seems to work, but the problem is that all my miners are currently on my 2nd choice of pool. When will they switch back to my 1st choice, if ever?  I didn't provide anything for the "failover" switch -- what's the default?  Hopefully not "never"...

Is there documentation on this that I could look up myself? There doesn't seem to be much, even on here.

Thanks,

Matthew

The latest version doesn't accept the HOST command - it requires a SERVER entry instead.


It also has an annoying blank-line scrolling behavior that only goes away if you make xterm full screen.

Yeah, It uses the --servers flag instead of host, port, user and password. Took me a minute to figure out
what was going on. 

I don't know whats with the scrolling black screen, kinda weird. I'm also getting the below error. Everything
is running fine so i'm not real sure what to make of it. 

Code:

Because I already know a bit about python I tried to fix this on myself but I don't get it. Please help me.

The blank lines is due to a linefeed in the display function,
the --server=bla...
is the same syntax as the backup servers, remember no spaces in between the , and each server.

Use the
./poclbm --help
for a printout of the functions
