python OpenCL bitcoin miner

This means new version no longer uses old kernel? Or is there any option to select it? (If no please add one, cuz Im getting better results with version one on one card and better with old version on other one AND I still want to use guiminer)

In GUIminer folder, go to kernels ->phatk & in kernel.cl edit the line as said in other post.
Also, you can edit, kernels -> poclbm , kernel.cl

No need to download or wait for new GUIminer for this performance increase.

I liked the statistical displays of the FPGAMINER, Luke-Jr and tweeks by ULEE

Thanks to all of you-Great Work

New version is up.

It doesn't work:

Code:

mining.eligius.st:8337 28/06/2011 00:53:49, Setting pool 1GEJfZRPrK2BLSSx3r6gwtuFxCUvq3QytN @ mining.eligius.st:8337
Killed

It incorporates improvements from many developers.

You forgot mine.

Phateus - phatk kernel 124RraPqYcEpX5qFcQ2ZBVD9MqUamfyQnv

This is probably the problem. Phoenix with phatk also Killed-crashes.

laanwj - sleep per frame

What does this actually do?

New release (2011-06-27) : https://github.com/downloads/m0mchil/poclbm/poclbm_py2exe_20110627.7z

Added an improvement in kernel (use phatk with modification of Ma formula).
+3% hashrate in average.

Can you re-add the old kernel as an optional kernel?  My mac doesn't appear to work with the phatk kernel (lots of failed validation messages).

For now, I just am using the previous revision from SVN, but would like to continue to receive other future improvements and don't really want to maintain my own fork.

Thanks!

This happend after changing the miner with the latest version, Windows 7 x64:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "guiminer.py", line 14, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wx

GUIMiner won't starts

I know how to do it and I already done it. Thing is that new version has build-in fallover system, but phatk kernel causes lower GPU usage than old one (while using 2 cards). So after all its slower for me.

I've just started up a couple of machines with ubuntu 11.04 and dual ATI card on each - the machines are used for general work ,
however both of them using
the latest everything seem only to use one GPU core
I start 2 miners off .

start the 1st miner - it runs OK - 98% GPU usage - good temps
start the 2nd miner off , and it only uses about 7-15% GPU and the 1st miner slows down to a corresponding amount

any clues ?

[Stupidpal]

Best miner I've ever used. Hands down. Thank you so much!

[zimpixa]

Clue - '-f' value (rise it)

I have them at -f40 at first and -f2 on second card

[RaTTuS]

I had to re-install one machine and that was fine afterwards, the other still acts weird,
I'll check things out later on

Yep, it's phatk. If I add a swapfile, it will start (slowly). So phatk demands more system RAM for... a whole 1 MH/s improvement. Please offer the original kernel (with the recent patch) again!

please include Luke-Jr's way to display shares/stales!

On my a 4x6970 Rig (Windows 7), I was getting 1481 Mhash/s with the previous Poclbm.  With the new version it's now 1553 Mhash/s = 4.8% increase!

Thank you!!  Keep up the great work!!

anyone got problems whit this if using sdk 2.1 ?

[brunoshady]

could someone help me with poclbm and linux please? Im kinda new on linux...



I've installed poclbm, and everything went fine...



so to start it, I open the terminal and type:

cd poclbm/
./poclbm.py --blablablabla


and the miner goes fine, but I'm trying to make an autostart script/command so it initialize with ubuntu...

so I've created an .sh script and inserted inside

cd poclbm/
./poclbm.py --blablablabla


and I get ERRORS!!!!


what a fuck should I do?

Regarding the new failover feature --

I set up all my miners to use it, and it seems to work, but the problem is that all my miners are currently on my 2nd choice of pool. When will they switch back to my 1st choice, if ever?  I didn't provide anything for the "failover" switch -- what's the default?  Hopefully not "never"...

Is there documentation on this that I could look up myself? There doesn't seem to be much, even on here.

Thanks,

Matthew

The latest version doesn't accept the HOST command - it requires a SERVER entry instead.


It also has an annoying blank-line scrolling behavior that only goes away if you make xterm full screen.
