Hi there,
I'm trying to get into bitcoin mining, but I keep running into the same problem with several different mining apps.
when using the batch file with the following line:
start /DC:\Program_Files_(x86)\Bitcoin\python\poclbm.exe -d1 --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --
user=mrgiles1@gmail.com --pass=*********
I get the following:
Windows cannot find '-d1' Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.
Can anyone help with this? I haven't been able to find anyone with the same issue.
Thanks,
Daniel

I think windows dont allow start. not sure. i got error when i first started mining, then i created bat file with this line only & everything is fine C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\poclbm_py2exe_20110222\poclbm.exe -d0 --host=mining.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 --user=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx --pass=xxxxxxxxxx I think u have only ONE graphics card/chip & thats will be d0 or u may have to add second monitor to second card. u can also try new GUI, here http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0;all |

I see 1 in found blocks on one of my workers.
I usually see, current shares -xxxxx, score - xxxxx, last share at -xxxx....
But always saw 0 in found blocks.
What is the 1 in found block mean?
Does it mean my worker share solved that particular 50btc block?

I've come up with some Perl to handle when a miner loses its connection to a pool and switch to another pool/local bitcoind retrying every so many seconds(30 by default): http://pastebin.com/DhJeDmFVIt requires POE from CPAN, perhaps other modules depending on your Perl distribution. Run it with no arguments or -h/--help for detailed and important usage info. I've tested it out with a few miners, poclbm an ufasoft's miner work well, jgarzik's doesn't work so well, but can be made to work on Linux with a --conduit pty-pipe argument which requires IO::Pty from CPAN. Here are a couple examples of connecting to [Tycho]'s pool and if it can't be connected to, connect to a local bitcoind: perl miner_connect.pl -c "poclbm.exe --host=deepbit.net --port=8332 --user=username --pass=passwerd --device=0" -f "poclbm.exe --user=localuser --pass=localpass --device=0" --stream perl miner_connect.pl -c "bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -t 1 -o http://deepbit.net:8332/ -u username -p password" -f "bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -t 1 -o http://localhost:8332/ -u localuser -p localpass" --stream Hope it's useful. Feel free to ask comments/questions and modify the code to your liking. Can u please explain, how to do it in windows & cmd prompt. Also what needs to be downloaded besides miners? |

I always runs fan at 100%, coz my room temp is around 35C, i am from India, Its hot here, goes up to 40C.
& from the date i bought this card 25th feb, until today now the temp is in between 72-74C at 993clk, with 248Mhash/s
Air conditioning not an option? xD Here in Canada, the winters are usually cold enough... open your window to cool your room a bit and your awesome xD If I could, when I am not their I'd leave my window half open and let temps drop to 10C or below xD Air conditioning is my next option, when i increase investment soon. |

Is your CPU idle? My CPU decreases in clock speed to save energy, but if I run a CPU miner on low priority with a single thread and poclbm, I get ~8Mhash/s more from poclbm. I'm currently running 930 GPU/830 mem and on my 6870 and get ~234Mhash/s with -v -f 60 -w 128.
That's is BS, don't do the low priority thing... I get 232Mhash/s at 900 core clock... at 1000 core clock 300 mem I got 263Mhash/s at 1045 core clock 300 mem I get 282Mhash/s (used MSI Afterburner) I use -v -w 128 -f 0 or -v -w 128 -f 10 when using computer for simple stuff ie: web browsing and word. -f 30 for videos and mild games, and -f 60 to -f 120 for games I am using MSI Afterburner 2.0, now 2.1. I cannot able to go below some 875Mhz for memory, if i go below it auto adjusts to 1050Mhz, also i dont see any hash/s change in changing memory. I used -v -w128 & got 248Mhash/s at 993 clk. If i go beyond 1000clk, my system crashes. I added -f1, which gives 254Mhash/s, but increase cpu load. its really strange for me. before using -f cmd, i used to get cpu 57-60C in my quad core. But adding -f increases cpu temp. -f1 increases temp to 67-70C, while f10 64-67C...Now running at -f15 & getting 60-65C with 248-252Mhash/s anyone have any other tips please. |

Hi,
I have windows 7 32 bit & i am getting 232Mhash/s after OCing from default 900clk to 993clk using poclbm
900 clk - 204Mhash/s
993 clk - 232Mhash/s
Please if anyone using HD6870 to mine please mention your maximum hash/s including miner & OS.
i want to know how much hash/s a HD6870 can give at max.
Please reply with ur datas

just use this dns
208.67.220.220 opendns
208.67.222.222 opendns

I am using this only & google is fast. use it today only then change to opendns or ur isp's as google cant be trusted

For long term, the next difficulty will be <=70000 , & then after 2 months it will be 230009.
In 2 months not a single 5970 is enough to mine, u need atleast 2-3X 5970 to mine.
U better instead of mining try buying & selling, that will be easy & profitable.
Sorry, by tyoing mistake i added double 09. |

Better change ur graphics card if u want to mine.
The investment u make is worth more than u can think. Mind me asking what you're earning at the moment with your 6870? I am tempted to buy a better GPU. Hard to know if it's worth the investment if difficulty is going to keep climbing (unpredictably as well.) For the past 4 days mining i got around 19btc, on average 4btc daily, running 23/7 The difficulty changes are not unpredictable. You can look at the estimate here or calculate it yourself. Every 2016 blocks, the network (all of the clients) recalculate the difficulty such that over the past 2016 blocks, using the new difficulty would result in around 10 blocks being found per minute. True but I was thinking of the longer term... e.g. where will difficulty be in 2 months? This seems harder to estimate, as it depends on unforeseeable events, like bitcoin getting a sudden burst of publicity. For long term, the next difficulty will be <=70000 , & then after 2 months it will be 23000909. In 2 months not a single 5970 is enough to mine, u need atleast 2-3X 5970 to mine. U better instead of mining try buying & selling, that will be easy & profitable. |

U cant do anything with ur 8400 graphics card. i had 9400gt card, mined for more than a month & i was getting 2.4Mhash/s & i over cloaked it to from 550mhz to 771 & got around 3.1Mhash/s. But system is very unstable. & only poclbm can able to mine with out lagging screens.
the total btc i got is less than 2. I did coz, i know i will mine in future, so to understand mining... i mined with that card.
just 3-4 days i got 6870 & getting 220Mhash/s.
Better change ur graphics card if u want to mine.
The investment u make is worth more than u can think.

I think everyone misunderstanding what i say.
With aero effects turned on & many softwares running in background, mining doesn't affect other programs in WINDOWS 7
The problem is only on xp. I think xp don't have aero effect.
what niooron said maybe correct, xp may not have designed with gpu computing

Small (and pedantic) question: The status update in the lower left hand corner which tells me the number of shares accepted/rejected seems to come and go. Haven't seen it for a while now - can't see how to turn it back on. Is this intended behaviour or a bug perhaps?
Thanks
U over cloaked ur graphics card? |
