Gotta say Diablo, your miner kinda rocks. Thanks so much for making it available for everyone!

I gotchya. Thanks for hte clarification. Got it wokring now.

This might be a stupid quesiton, but the mhash number shows two numbers. What is the difference between the first and 2nd number?

So I downloaded the latest version of hte miner and extracted it.

Do I need to do any setup in order ot use it? I keep trying to use the DiabloMiner-Windows application and all it does is open, then instantly close some command line text. How do I stop it from doing this>? (Windows 7 as the OS btw).

I think I hit 130 with slush's pool.

Recently found two blocks, so that helped catch me up, but I'm still under expected value d'oh

Windows fix out yet? And for those of us with GUIminer, do we have to request an update to GUIminer? Or can we simply install the latest of polcbm?

I'm really surprised at how little chatter this thread has. You would think a TON of people would have this problem.

How will Windows users get the update if we're using GUIminer? Do you we have to re-download it? Or will it automaticlaly push after we restart either the computer or the miner?

Does GUIminer automatically pull the latest version of polcbm? Or will we have to redownload guiminer whenever the patch is out for Windows?

Also, I'm curious as to how much the difficulty has fallen because of this. We'll see just how many users are using polcbm. My guess is...a lot. And judging by the small amount of responses here on the forum, most of them probably haven't even realized that they're not actually doing work lately, since the computer by all outside measures (power draw, heat created) looks as though it is still working.

If that was the case, anybody who had an existing miner running (those who haven't re-turned it on recently) wouldn't have the problem.

Are any other people experiencing a problem where suddenly your guiminer is no longer submitting shares?

1 more person experiencing this problem. WTF is going on? I don't conceptually understand how it could suddenly break? Seems like the source of failure is the software rather than any individual pool? But how? Without an update, how did everything break?

Oh, so it's guiminer's fault, not slush. What the hell?

And what the heck is my computer doing if it's not submitting shares anyhow? It's obviously still working...

Why it suddenly change and no longer count my shares?

Is something wrong with the share counting?

I just noticed that slush says that my two miners haven't been doing any work at all for the past 14 hours, and yet my comp has been making all the noises and what not that it normally does when mining, and guiminer says that it has been producing hashes.

ensignlee.Daniel1 and ensignlee.Daniel2 if that would help troubleshoot for you, slush.

Seasonic and Corsair PSUs. I also don't run them at > 65% of their full advertised capacity, so it shouldn't be PSUs. Temps might be it, but I noticed that with air flowing on them vs air not flowing on them from 120 mm fans, the temp only dropped about 1-2 degrees celcius, so *shrug*. Don't know how I could have made them any cooler without running caseless.

Been running the 5870's at 900 Mhz, underclocking the memory to 1000. The 5970 I left at stock because I wanted it to last awhile (lasted all of 2.5 months until 1 GPU just outright failed lol). Stock voltages.

Most of my cards live at around 80 celcius, with some of them getting to be in their own cases living at 70-75 celcius instead.

Two of them have the weirdest problem: they will be fine under load, but when you let them idle, then they display erratic screens. lol.

For those of you above who said that you have had 0 fail, have you tested them as display monitors? Where you hook them up to 2 screens? I ask because for some of the cards, they are fine on 1 screen but if you ask them to display two then they start artifacting, which to me is still a failure.

I've been mining since June with with about 10 GPUs. Most of them 5870s, with some assorted 5850s, 5770s and a 5970 thrown in themix.

EVERY. SINGLE.  ONE of them now has problems. Some of them have outright failed, others just artifact and are still good for mining, but not really as a display card anymore. I can't discount 10/10 cards as mere coincidence. So yes, they definitely do kill your cards.

I get that whole "display drive has crashed, but ahs recovered" problem with my 5870 that is slowly dying. I have to just keep starting it until it takes. I'm afraid to say it man, but I think one of your cards is just dying and that's why you're having these problems.

Don't understand why everyone is shitting on Diablo.

He. Created. A. Freaking. Miner. That is not a small achievement.

The fact the he was nice enough to release it for free the first time is AMAZING. There is every incentive in the world to keep it to himself, as once the code got into the wild, everyone else started mining on GPUs. He could have kept it to himself and had his single GPU mine at incredible speeds compared to everyone else's CPU.

And everyone shitting on him now should know that when he does "get a job" and buy one for himself, he'll probably sit on the code personally if it ends up being a great improvement in hash rate. And you will be the reason.

It honestly astonishes me that he only received about $30 in bitcoins for developing the diablominer. Hell, I personally sent like $20 worth of btc to the guiminer developer. People are ungrateful.

Does the "blocks found" counter still work? Just wondering, since it says that none of my miners have found any in basically the last several months. This could be true, but it seems like I'm several standard deviations away from normal when I've only officially found one block for the pool, but have received like 188 in payouts. Mining at like 1.7 Ghash here.
