On 2 separate Windows XP Pro systems, I was getting the error, added python 3.2 and it started working right away, nothing else installed.

And yes, the ability to launch the application, minimized and without warning would be great.

That's rather strange - you don't need Python installed to run the miner because the interpreter is already bundled with the exe (using the py2exe module).

There's currently no way to suppress the warning, but that's something I could easily add in the next release.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...

I download the latest version of the self-extractive archive, uncompress it to c:\guiminer and run guiminer.exe and get the following error:

"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I read the README and glanced at the first post...  What am I doing wrong?

BTW, the error is because I didn't have Python 3.2 installed on the PC's.....  Just FYI

Another question...  is there a way to execute without getting the OpenCL warning box everytime?

pool down again :<

[21/05/2011 06:42:52] LP: New work pushed
[21/05/2011 06:43:04] Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle
[21/05/2011 06:43:22] Disconnected from server

for tracking purposes. Time is GMT-7

It appears the pool is down for everybody...  Happened about this time yesterday too.

I am planning to get a 6950 . Btw is it possible to run 2 different cards for mining? From videos i saw that the cards werent connected with xfire or sli bridges... Also could I instal Ubuntu in a  4 gig flash drive/mining software? And what are dummy plugs used for(read about them alot in forums).


Thanks for all the helpfull replys so far.

If you use linux for mining, you shouldn't need dummy plugs...  Windows only problem.

I'm looking for an inexpensive 2 PCI-E 16x board with the power button on the motherboard...  Anybody have any suggestions...  (It's not something you can easily search newegg or amazon for)

Thanks for any help.

I just find the pins and tuch them with a small piece of metal.. no big deal.

I'm aware of how to 'jump' start a computer with a paperclip...  But, I'm interested in seeing if anybody knows of a good model of motherboard with a power button on the board Smiley

I realize I could wire a switch up...  I'm trying to see if the motherboards with the switch/LEDs already on it, are cost effective...  vs buying a switch per PC ~$10.

First, I wouldn't want to get caught...  read up on people who ran SETI@Home from school computers before you do it.  Second, an I7-860 can only do about 10mh/s so I doubt you'd see 20mh/s from 2-3 year old computers.... probably more like 4-5mh/s...

Could somebody explain to me what does "Expansion slots Four 16x PCI-E 2.0 slots (two 16x or four 8x)" means according to mining? Does it means that if I will use four HD 5870 then they will work on only half of their performance?

It has no impact on bitcoin mining...  Just on playing video games Smiley
