Title: GUIminer does not start Ufasoft miner - "ValueError" Post by: johnbot on January 08, 2013, 01:03:53 AM In GUIMiner (current version) I have configured a new ufasoft CPU miner to connect to Slush's pool. I am waiting to get a good GPU, until then I want to try things with plain CPU mining (Core 2 Quad). Ufasoft miner is residing in it's own directory being pointed to with the "ExtPath" field.
If I start Ufasoft miner directly with "-g no" on cmd it connects to the pool (with stratum) and delivers. But when I press "Start mining" in GUIMiner nothing happens, even if I enter "-g no" at "Extra flags". The exe.log shows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "guiminer.py", line 857, in toggle_mining File "guiminer.py", line 982, in start_mining ValueError What can I do? I am running GUIMiner v2012-12-03 on WXP SP-3. Ufasoft Coinminer is v0.39. Also tried GUIMiner v2012-02-19 with the same result. Title: Re: GUIminer does not start Ufasoft miner - "ValueError" Post by: johnbot on January 08, 2013, 01:14:25 AM Found the SOLUTION: :)
GUIMiner expects the Ufasoft executable to be named "bitcoin-miner.exe". But in the v0.39 package that I downloaded this exe is named only "coin-miner.exe". Even if I use this name "\...\coin-miner.exe" in the "Ext. Path" field, it does not work. One has to rename the actual file "coin-miner.exe" that comes with the ufasoft package to "bitcoin-miner.exe". Then it works fine. And don't forget the "-g no" for CPU-only mining... That cost me some hours... >:( Title: Re: GUIminer does not start Ufasoft miner - "ValueError" Post by: LTC555 on January 08, 2013, 04:32:55 PM When you learn through mistakes you never forget the lesson :D
Title: Re: GUIminer does not start Ufasoft miner - "ValueError" Post by: MrWood on April 03, 2013, 09:47:42 AM Hi, I am also stuck on GUIMiner. I went to run the GUI miner on ufasoftCPU, but when i go to press the "start mining" button, nothing happens, and the status still reads "stopped".
The username and password are definitely correct. I also checked the path, and the destination is bitcoin-miner.exe, so that should be correct as well. Is this a software issue where i have to reinstall GUI miner? I am running it through Slush's pool (at least trying to!) my system is windows 7 (64 bit) with a 4ghz intel core. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) Title: Re: GUIminer does not start Ufasoft miner - "ValueError" Post by: Antuam on April 03, 2013, 09:59:26 AM Hello.
