Hi guys,

Can I use a new instance of the guiminer for my 2nd, 3rd card? I saw that a can select new miner tab BUT I cant see the hash rate as the pc is extremely unresponsive so its way easier to just have 3 windows of the miner.

Thank you

You mean keep the "Summary" tab open, does it report the speed live?

Thank You

EDIT: seems that all is fine under summary  Thank you

Guiminer does not work any longer?

double clicked on the exe file and it loaded into the taskbar and the process tray area, but nothing appeared.  It is loaded, but the interface does not show because when I try to move the folder to the trash bin, the process in use alert comes up.  

Win 7 64bit with the sdk and latest driver 13.1 installed, guiminer version .3

Q: My miner windows doesn't appear onscreen!
A: Delete C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\poclbm\poclbm-scrypt.ini.

Alright I am experiencing a very bugging issue. Today I added a second 7950 and started hashing away BUT as soon as the first card starts the khs for the second one dropp by 70-80khs..System specs:

MB:Asrock 970 Extreme4
PSU: Seasonic 750w
VGA: 1 - 7950 Sapphire 2 - 7950 Sapphire Vapor X
8GB 1333
AMD drivers: 13.1

Card N1 is in the main pci and the Vapor is in the second x16 for now. Settings in Guiminer are identical ( 7950 high usage ). Trixx settings:

Card 1: 925GPU/1250M/0.962V - 550khs
Card 2 ( Vapor ) : 925GPU/1250M/0.962V - 560khs

Any ideas?

Thank You

EDIT: I am seeing the load on the 2nd GPU slips to 70% and then back up....Load only varies on the 1st card is working

Hey guys! I currently have the 7870 XT Club3D edition

on the gpu chart from litecoin, I see people getting about 400 - 425 kH/s :O

and I only can get about 315 any help ?

Thanks for the solution, I actually found the solution from another post but I forgot to update.  You don't actually need to delete the file, just edit it and change the x and y coordinate to 100 and 100 or some reasonable number that you know will be a part of you screen real estate. 

The problem with the FAQ for someone like me who is not familiar with the interface is that I did not understand what "miner windows" mean.

I'm running 3 7950 cards with GUIMiner and one of my cgminers end up crashing after a certain period of time, but the other 2 cards seem to keep on hashing. Temps are 69 and under 70 with all cards. Usually remote in and see that cgminer.exe has crashed and had an error or whatnot, but when I check my workers online 2/3 of the cards are still running and its just one that isn't due to the crash. Anyone have any ideas what the problem may be? Hashes fine until the program crash happens so it seems to be a software issue.

Hello,

I got the file from mirror1 as shown in the post and a I get the following Virus Warning from ZoneAlarm:

not-a-virus:RiskTool.Win32.BitCoinMiner.cmf

Any advice?

Thankyou in advance!

Having a very strange and frustrating problem with GUIMiner:

I cannot get any of my cards to connect to any pool. As far as I can tell, everything is put in right - pool name, user name, pass, settings, ect, but I get a constant "Connecting" message that never resolves, even after ~10 minutes.

I have another rig with the EXACT same setup, but no errors whatsoever. I tried deleting GUIMiner and re-extracting everything, then starting up a test miner, but no luck. Nothing I do seems to work. It makes no sense. Why would this be happening? What could I do to fix this or run some tests? The console tells me nothing other than that it starts, and is listening, but never updates with errors, or anything.

I am offering a 5 litecoin donation or equal in bitcoin to anyone who can help me figure this out

I am trying to set up a few mining rigs with 4x6870s (sapphire) and 2x 6860x2 (Visiontek) and am having some issues. On the first computer I set up I was having trouble getting windows to recognize the cards but that I can figure out as its probably something simple, but the main problem is

On the other computer once I tell GuiMiner- Scrypt Alpha to start mining with more than 4 cards it tells me I have an error and it needs to close. It doesn't close and keeps mining with the 4 cards that have started but will be in an internal deadlock saying its starting or connecting but never will. I dont know why the first computer would allow me to miner with more than 4 gpus but has other errors and this one wont let me mine with more than four

I have have 4 rigs all being built and have alot riding on this.

Specs: Mobo Gigabyte UD5 990FXx3, UD7x1
CPU- AMD 145 singlex2, Dual core, and X640
GPU - 16x sapphire 6870, 8x visiontek 6870x2
PSU - Coolmax 1600w, 3xkingin 1000w, OCZ 1250w, Coolermaster 800w, Diablotek 600w
RAM- 16GB Corsair Dominator 1866, 3x8gb Gskill 1600
Windows 7

I am a previous bitcoin miner and have had many systems with more than 4 gpus. And the big thing is on one computer I was mining with more than 4 gpus for a while but now on my other ones I am having issues.

check %appdata% Poclbm and remove the ini
if it dont work
update your driver "aticaldd.dll"
try the latest catalyst 13.3 beta !

same bios on all machines? motherboard and grafic?

How does stratum work? My cgminer ports are supposed to be the pools or what? Not sure but i can't figure it out. Is there a noob step by step guide out there?

[Robre]

Anyone know how to set stratum up with this program?

[tacotime]

Anyone know how to set stratum up with this program?

1st page

Q: How do I use the stratum proxy?
A: Enter the host and the stratum port and click start.  It should announce that the proxy is connected.  Then, point your miners at host: localhost, port: 8332.  Run your miners as normal; you should see shares/hash rates reported.
Also note that cgminer has its own stratum support built in.  To use that instead, select "Yes" for Use stratum in the miner tab and point the miner directly at the stratum port of your pool.  If you still want to use the stratum proxy with cgminer, you must select "No" for this option.

Thank you so much!

Now I'm running into a problem where I get a blue screed of death when i launch it.

Here is the log. I have absolutely no idea what any of this means.

===============================

This is one of my everyday in use workstations, I have an additional Nvidia card in the box which I use as the working monitor feed, no dummy plug on the 7950.

No overclocking the 7950, fans gentle, card warm of course, but running easy.

Rock solid hashing rate with hardly any variance, a stales rate I want to improve, but averages about 3%. I'm in the U.S., Coinotron is in Poland.

THANK YOU tacotime, good code, running very, very well. I look forward to any modifications or improvements you might create, looks like your Alpha is a strong Beta, :-)

I will be building a few rigs this month, 3 card rigs, and I'll be using your software on those, thanks.

Perhaps a feathercoin GUIMiner next, FC seems to be coming along and scrypt, well, that's going to be a popular structure for alt coins as the BFL and the Avalons are hitting the pools, sucks, but that's life.

taco, are you planning to update the package with cgminer v3 ?
