Beta 4 Released! BitMiner - Advanced Mining GUI

[SomeoneWeird]

Yea I did that

You dropped the folder, or the program in the same directory?

So the path to poclbm is C:/Users/David/Desktop/Bitminer2Beta/Beta%202/poclbm/poclbm.exe?

Yes path is correct.

Ive copied over the poclbm.exe again to the folder and tried launching the miner using the 2 accounts I had already added before. 1 comes up with the same exception error, the other seems to launch (pops up a window with my logon/ID, miner host etc) like its going to run then stops working with an error window message: Loadlibrary (python.dll failed)

Ok wait I think I know what the problem is, give me a minute.

Ok I just uploaded version 2.1. Download that and see if it fixes your problem. If it does tell me, if it doesn't reply back with your OS, and architecture.

[Oldminer]

Still fails with the same error.

Win 7 - 64-bit

Ok I actually have no idea then, it looks like something related to python is failing, which is weird because poclbm, not BitMiner is written in python.

If it's alright with you, would I be able to take a look over teamviewer or something? I wanna know what's making this happen aswell

-- Edit: Is the title of the error message "ERROR!"?

[Oldminer]

Check PM

[SomeoneWeird]

Check PM

Everyone reading this, managed to get it fixed, remember, you need to copy the ENTIRE poclbm directory into the same directory as BitMiner.exe

In the in the BitMiner folder, there are 3 items.

BitMiner.exe < file
Simple7.dll < file
poclbm < folder with rest of poclbm program in it.

bump >< 2.1 released. Lots of bugfixes.

[one4all]

Sorry if i missed something, but can you please just give me an overview of why i should use this instead of GUIMiner please?

Thanks!

Well at the moment, it allows you to configure and save multiple accounts, it has failover/fallover support (whatever you wanna call it), v2.2 with have a statistics page showing you your overall mh/s, your expected btc income and the amount of btc you have in pools (if you enable it). Eventually it's going to be an all in one miner.

[grue]

suggestions:

ENCRYPT the file that has all the user data. not doing so is EXTREMELY dangerous.
------------

Code:

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo("taskkill.exe", "/IM poclbm.exe /F");

a better way would be to use process.start to start the miner, and use process.kill or something to end it.
------------

Code:

private void p_OutputDataReceived(object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e)
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(client.OpenRead("http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount"));

it's better to cache the results. loading a new page every time the console outputs something (at least once per second) is just wasteful.
------------

Code:

public Miner(int Device, int framerate, bool vectors, int work, string Nickname, Pool p, MinerProgram mp, string PoolUser, string PoolPass, string host)
        string str2 = (((((("-d" + this.DeviceID) + " --host=" + this.pURI) + " --port=" + this.pPort.ToString()) + " --user=" + this.pUser) + " --pass=" + this.pPass) + " -f " + framerate.ToString()) + " -w " + work.ToString();

why so many brackets? also, you're missing some spaces in between the args.

Yea including a graph and/or stats in the GUI panel would be awesome. Anything like that that saves time having to go to other sites/links to check stats would be great. Perhaps you could include a real-time hi-lo buy/sell panel for bitcoin too?

1) I suppose I could do that, but then the person could just reflect the program and get the encryption key. May as well do it for v3.
2) Yeah I know it's a bit sloppy, I havn't been able to add the processes to an array, but when I figure out whats wrong there I can just go through the entire array calling kill().
3) It doesn't call it everytime it recieves output, it calls it when a new block has been started, I'll change it though.
4) The actual codes not like that, thats a result of reflecting it, I was like wtf when I saw that too haha.

[grue]

on a side note, to avoid tons of "whatever" + str1 + "something else" +str2, use string.format, it makes the code much neater

I am haha, as I said it's the reflection on the code that looks bad

[SomeoneWeird]

Any other suggestions for Beta 3? Pretty much finished the stats page.

could you please move away from the windows aero dependancy? i hate having it on. other then that, great software.

Just download the XP version. All that's different in that is I've disabled Aero for it
