Title: 3 BTC bounty - why is my share count staying at zero?
Post by: yochdog on February 06, 2012, 09:35:33 PM
Hi all,

I have a workstation with a single 5850, that hashes around 350 MH/s.  Has worked wonderfully for months, without the slightest hitch. 

However, starting over the weekend the miner shows as offline at my pool, and no shares are being submitted.  GUIminer still shows the card hashing away, and CCC shows the GPU at 99% usage.  Unfortunately, GUIminer also shows 0 shares submitted. 

Any ideas?

I am running 11.9 with win 7 pro 64bit. 

If someone can help me find a solution, I will give them 3 BTC.

Are you using python OpenCL (poclbm) in guiminer? If so, this problem has been happening for everyone in the last few days. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1334.msg732164#msg732164

Basically it shows that you are mining but the shares are not being submitted.
Anyway, the fix is coming up in Windows so just switch to Phoenix in guiminer or get cgminer for the time being. If you need direction for switching to phoenix, which is what I'm doing now, just ask.

Not really worth the 3 BTC to be honest but if you still want to send, I won't complain.

EDIT: BTW, I've also heard that using the older guiminer version works but have not tried this.

Let me give it a shot over the next day or so.....I don't have access to the machine at the moment.  If it works, I will send you the bounty.  I am a man of my word!

I switched to Diablominer and the problem is gone. I know the other guy got the bounty but still let me know if you need help.
