Title: I need help, can't get past "Connecting..." (lots of info below) Post by: kac-mn on August 06, 2011, 01:44:38 AM I can’t get the GPU mining to work and I am at an utter loss as to why it is not working... So here is all the information which may be relevant:
The Computer: Windows 7 64-bit (SP1) Intel Core i7 950 @ 3.07GHz 6GB PC3 12800 RAM ASUS Rampage III Extreme Motherboard Radeon HD 5750 1GB 850 Watt PSU Software: GPU Caps Viewer will run the OpenCL demo Bitcoin version 0.3.21-beta first transaction has 28000 confirmations 33+ connections number of blocks is current; verified repeatedly at http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount GUIMiner -v2011-07-01 Network: Router has ports 8332-8333 forwarded to Computer Firewall is set to allow connections from 8332-8333 MSE exclusions are set for bitcoin.exe, bitcoind.exe, guiminer.exe Bitcoin.conf server=1 rpcport=8332 rpcuser=********** rpcpassword=********** rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcallowip=192.168.1.### -- where ### represents the reserved address of my PC GUIMiner Configurations: (2) 1) Solo Config (YES, I know, it isn’t worth it - but I should be able to get it to work anyway) - username and password set - Bitcoin client path set - Bitcoin client launched as server Server: Solo Host: localhost Port: 8332 Username: Set Password: Set Device: [0-0] Juniper -- not the CPU Extra flags: non to start (have tried -v -w128) CPU Affinity: 0, 4, 5, 6, 7 -- I don’t really see how this could affect it since I am not using the CPU, but...

After attempting to connect for a few minutes is quits. --------------------- Ironically, CPU mining works fine (for what little use it is) - for both solo and pool mining. I really don't get why I can't get the GPU to work... I have been trying to figure out why GPU mining isn't working for nearly a week. Does anyone have any idea why I can’t get this to work? Any suggestions? Please help! Title: Got it! - GUIMiner 2011-07-01 was the issue, I needed to install the 2011-06-14 Post by: kac-mn on August 06, 2011, 04:32:56 AM Got it! - GUIMiner 2011-07-01 doesn't work
I installed GUIMiner 2011-06-14 and bingo, everything worked with my current settings! If anyone else who has just started is having problems similar to mine, try downloading and installing https://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20110614.exe That's all I had to do! ---------- How do I report a glitch in the current build of GUIMiner (2011-07-01)? |
