Hello. I am NEW and need some HELP!:-s

[Alyibuu]

Well I don't know yet much about them USB miners or how can i use them. WAnted to do some with this pc.

Anyway will try look for that GuiMiner to see how it works...
CGminer was recomended by alot of ppl.
Atm still same ...

[metal_jacke1]

The USBs are pretty simple.

Install drivers from Silicon Labs (small file)
Plug in usb.
Run miner.

I use BFGminer. No problems whatsoever.

With bfgminer are you using the same parameters as for cgminer ? and are you redirecting std. error on log file (2>logfile.txt) ?

if so cut off the redirect and watch what happens, give us a screenshot if it's possible of the situation.

BFGminer log is now:

Is there any step i missed? Is there only the Software verisons that are to new and they don't work yet or smth?

Nothing looks wrong with this output at first glance. Did you wait a few seconds before killing it? You had authorization success and found a device. Next thing should have been hashing. Like so (except this isn't output from the same pool or even the same currency):

…and so on.

This is the parameter > "bfgminer -o http://eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u Alyibuu_1 -p 1234 2>logfile.txt"

I did cut off the log and it is the same as with it.

The thing is I do NOT KILL BFG miner.. I got prompeted with the "BFGminer.exe has stopped working" > "Close program" Windows error... Unlike CGMiner that dosen't start at all

This is the Event Viewer log of the error:

But i guess this is not helping you guys to much isn't it?

[smscotten]

I'm a little out of my area here since I don't GPU mine and I don't use Windows very much, but it looks like you ought to be looking into your GPU's drivers and support. I'd start with seeing if there are updated drivers and by downloading the OpenCL SDK—or at least searching on those terms to see what other people's experience is.

Specifically C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\amdocl64.dll waves a red flag. There is an (ancient) thread suggesting that people delete that file (among others) in favor of a different set. I'm NOT saying you should delete that file; I'm just saying that's the avenue of investigation I would pursue.

[Alyibuu]

OK. I will try and search to see what i find about that file. Althi i have the newest SDK and Catalyst and I can't get any newer ones besides the beta ones:-s.
And Thanks

  Welcome to the forums

[cesmak]

I agree with smscotten, probably a GPU driver issue, me too i'm not mining any more with gpu since a lot of  months ago, and in the couple of months i've mined with gpu i never had a problem with the drivers, so my possilibty of helping you, ends here. I'm sorry.

[Alyibuu]

OK. So I've found that thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54693.0
I have replaced the files and BFGMiner WORKS now.
Thanks alot for that ideea:)

Is this worling as it should?
Is it good or bad?
Any other advice?

Thanks!

[smscotten]

Glad to hear it! It looks like everything is working the way it ought to. You're sending shares and the pool's statistics seem consistent with yours (they will rarely if ever be exactly the same so you just want to know that your numbers and the pool's numbers are in the same ballpark.)

Just curious: did you use an older driver or a beta one to get things to work?

[Alyibuu]

I used the older ones. The ones postend in the other thread. Think its 2.5.
CGminer works also now. Almost same MHps.
Is CGminer better ? Is it better to use it? Or it dosen't matter witch one?
Iss ~300Mhps good? for a 6870?:-s

Thanks again mate!
