EDIT: The bounty is finished, thanks to everyone's donations Phoenix support is now available to all. I still encourage new users to donate if the Phoenix support was helpful to you.
Hi all, due to popular demand I'm preparing a version of GUIMiner that uses Phoenix as the back end. It supports all features of Phoenix including the phatk kernel, which provides higher performance than poclbm on some video cards. I've decided to try a bounty approach for a change, here's how it works: - Anyone who donates 1 BTC or more (NOTE: was 2 BTC but the price of BTC spiked so I'm decreasing it) will be emailed a development version of the GUI with Phoenix & phatk support. This version is ready to use and has been running stable on my machine, but it might contain bugs I haven't found yet. - Once total donations reach 20 BTC, I'll fix any issues that came up and then it will be released to everyone free of charge, just like the previous GUIMiner. You can send the coins to: 12LE5XsBr3BgdWcgmyV4LHKhFXdHn8UBj6 and then PM me with your email address and I'll send you a link to the new GUI. If you'd prefer a unique address to send coins to, PM me requesting one and I'll send you a unique address. How to use:Run GUIMiner as usual, then go File -> New other miner and navigate up one directory and pick phoenix.exe. Then enter your info as usual and start mining. For the Extra Flags you can enter any Phoenix flags such as VECTORS or -k phatk (see above screenshot) for an example, or see the Phoenix thread for a full list of flags.

I am interested in this but would like to know what are the major benefits to Phoenix over Poclbm? Also, I am willing to donate, but how would you know I sent the BTC? Should we send our bitcoin address in the PM as well. Sorry for the noob questions, I don't know how that works yet, my other donations to people have been anon so it didn't really matter. I just want to ensure credit when it's due. Love the product!

You can send some "weird" BTC sum - like 2.00156 And pm KIV with that sum and your email. Edit: You can use other method that is safer - PM KIV to obtain not public available(unic) address from him, and then send on that address.
To KIV. You should post it in your main topic too. There is lots of topics recently, and that topic may drawn fast. Plus, fans mostly check main topic.

I've had this written for a while. Shows current statistics on Phoenix through OSD (On Screen Display) rather than in the GUI itself. Uses phatk only for now, but adding an option to toggle on/off isn't hard. Not sure if I should release it or not... Side note: 0 Khashes/S because BTCGuild is down. The GPU OSD is a different script I whipped up.

Using Kiv's new Guiminer, I increased performance across all my miners by 5-10% each

Hmmm.... donations total 8BTC at this point.
5-10% = 3.25*0.075 = 0.24375 BTC more per day for me, on average. = 8.2 days to pay off.
Not sure what to think...

I don't think it's related to a recent update but here's my problem anyway.
All the sudden I have two PC that always end up with guiminer.exe running at 100% with a GPU stuck at "connection problem" (too high overclock ? even running it at 700mhz?)
then , given the CPU is clogged all other GPUs are near stalled at khash speed.
note: All my installs have the common 100% cpu bug.
It's a also a common problem to have a GPU stuck at "connection problem" because of too high overclock, But sometime it happen over a few day's, all I have to do is stop-start them but it's really cumbersome to watch them all the time.
Thank you.
2btc to be sent.

Kiv I will buy if you can figure out why python.exe and guiminer.exe crash when I enable (using windows "screen resolution") my 4th card. Note catalyst see the card just fine. Windows 7 4 gpu cards 6950's Windows and Catalyst see all 4 cards which are dummy plugged and crossfired. Kingfisherb90 on aim isaac.mooers@gmail.com for email/gchat. This is the error I get from guiminer: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: guiminer.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4918019c Fault Module Name: StackHash_0a9e Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 72747369 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

This would be awesome, I'm currently using GUI Miner already and its great. I can't wait for this to go through a little more testing, it'll probably be healthier for my CPU since someone brought up that phoenix takes less cpu resources. My quad core is pretty warm right now and always 70-90% load on all 4 cores.

CPU? why not use your GPU?

CPU? why not use your GPU? You don't understand. I suggest you read about the openCL bug which causes abnormally high CPU usage if 2 or more GPU's are being used for computation.
