GUI mining - updated Dec 3 with 7970 bugfix, also supports Stratum!

What do you mean by "connection issues"?

[Reckman]

Persistent disconnections with all pools using the GUI miner.  I have the latest verions of Gui miner, running installed proper AMD Stream, I have assigned a miner for every 2 GPU's (same types only), and I am still having connections issues.  Flag line currently reads -v -w128 --platform=0

Any help would be great.  Thanks

I was having the Sam, issue where it shows "Connection Problems"....for me it had something to do with the overclock, I lowered the clock and don't get the error anymore.

I think he means when you click Refresh Balance it shows up as Connection Error under Balance.

Hey guys.  I just added a 5850, so currently on this system I have a 5850 and a 5770.  Both cards show up in device manager.  However, when I open guiminer, It has the 5850 as device 0 and my cpu as device 1.  How can i get it to see the 5770?

THANKS!

You need to have a monitor or dummy plug plugged in to the 5770.

I believe this is related to the fact that deepbit switched to https, and the client has the address in http.

  Sorry I was busy w\ the baby and didn't have time to reply to my post earlier.  That was it.  Grabbed a VGA cable from the garage and connected it to the 5770 and that did the trick.  I should invest in a couple dummies for any future builds though.

hi guys, i'm very new to that whole bitcoin mining stuff. i was just stopping by to ask wheather this issue that guiminer does not recognize any hashes of the CUDA-miner was solved within the current version or not. i'm asking because i still have that problem. every other miner works, got as many Mhash/s as my card is expected to do and with every miner, guiminer shows me the Accepted hashs except for the CUDA-miner, where the status of the Accepted hashs remains 0. So my question is: Does the CUDA-miner actually work and guiminer does not recognize the hashes or is there a problem with the CUDA-miner itself? I really want to use the CUDA-miner becase its gettin' me ~20Mhash/s more than the default one.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

btw: my commandline for the CUDA-miner is:

rpcminer-cuda.exe -user=xxx -password=xxx -url=http://localhost -gpu -gpugrid=96 -gputhreads=1024
Console stops after telling me that the allocating of the CUDA resources ist done.

so long

You can try mining with a pool rather than solo and see if that makes a difference. You'll know for sure it is working if the mining pool website shows that you are active and have submitted shares.

So the mentioned "problem" should have been solved in the current version of guiminer and my cuda-miner may not work properly or is your post to be meant as a general advice?

I just tryed phoenix+kernal few days ago and I got more Mhash with it, but after a while it just crashes my system, thats why im sticking with GUIminer. Is there any chance to get the same performance that phoenix+kernal?

[Dobrodav]

KIV experimenting now with phoenix miner included in GUI miner. He post about it 1 or 2 pages above. Its beta version, so its hard to predict how that will affect performance.

Please rad that thread :

In the newest 5-21 release I get 280 MH/s versus the 315 MH/s I got with the 4-26 release...
(Same clocks and settings)

"Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC"

Guys, what does it mean? I see it so often in GUIMiner console.

Means whatever pool you are hashing with is overloaded / not replying 100% of the time.

Has nothing to do with this program, but everything with whomever runs the pool.

Best I know, at least.

When are you gonna release a version with the new deepbit address?

I can't get the guiminer client to open.  I'll double click it and the icon will appear in my system tray for a few seconds and then disappear.  I'm running win 7 x86 with an i7.  I downloaded the latest drivers, etc and still..nothing.  Any tips?

[RaTTuS]

I'm using this and when I've got some cash I'll doante
a couple of questions / suggestions

if I have 2 or more pools configured is it best to stick with one or can I run 2 pools at once ?

or could it be altered so it if one pool stops responding it auto switches to the next one in line, then does a check for your main pool each hour [or so] and switches back ?

Q: Can I connect to more than one pool with the same GPU? For example have a main pool, and a backup pool in case the main one goes down?
A: Yes, you can use the -f flag for this. A value of -f60 or higher in the backup pool's miner will cause it to yield most of the GPU power to miners with a lower f value (default is 30).

I usually have all my miners mine at one pool. This way, you can analyze your daily/weekly stats. It's harder to know how much you make from jumping around or simultaneously mine at several pools.
