GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains

[wizzardTim]

Dumb Question... as of 04-25-13 Is the latest version of this on the original first posting?

Yes

New version coming soon, I'm done my exams but am very sick so not as much work on this or MC2 has gotten done.  Sorry guys

Don't worry..health comes always first.

Wish you get well soon

install defaults for every card

These defaults are great, do you know if they're any plans to add these to GUIminer?

I can't seem to get my computer back up and mining.

I was originally using Reaper (not through guiminer but standalone) and it was fine with my 3 - 6870s. I added a new 7950 and now it will not work for any of my cards.

So I installed guiminer and tried running it through guiminer.

I receive the same thing when trying to run through cgminer and reaper.

-Reaper-
I enter all of my information, press start, it gets to the part:
"Compiling kernel... this could take up to 2 minutes."

-CGminer-
I enter all of my information, press start, it gets to the part:
"Listener for "Miner" started"

And then Windows pops up saying:
"reaper.exe has stopped working"
"cgminer.exe has stopped working"

I have the most up to date AMD Catalyst Suite.
I have the most up to date AMD APP SDK.

But I can't seem to get anything to mine now. I'm sure it is probably something dumb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Rest of system-

1 - 7950

Reseat the GPU and the extender or try swapping the cards around

Try one card at a time. Uninstall drivers and reinstall them

This is stock mining, no Overclocking, so significantly better results are expected with mild, to medium overclocking.

@3Dfilament
what version of guiminer do you use v0.03?
where is your stratum on off dropdown?

[rriky92]

When will you add Cudaminer?

[tacotime]

This week, code is about half done

[SardonicJester]

Reseat the GPU and the extender or try swapping the cards around

I can't believe that worked but Thank You.

Had to move the 7950 to my fourth slot and now all 4 work together.
For some reason it doesnt like it in slots 1,2, or 3.

Will send tip once I get home.

Thank you Tacotime.

I can't wait, I still can't figure out how to use command prompt miners correctly. This will save me a lot of trouble.

[tacotime]

Update for 0.04 written, I will test it tomorrow and then probably release it tomorrow night

Then I can finally get back to MC2

(Also oh God my source code is ugly for guiminer-scrypt haha)

Can get junior devs, fix feathers nice.

I am getting some memory_management BSODs sometimes when using your miner, I have two reaper miners, both set to automatically start when I run it. I'm not sure if this is reaper's fault or the guiminer's though.

Can you post some type of .log data, something?

I have some memory dump files if you want them.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60526330/Minidump.rar

I turned off my ramdisk and it seems to have fixed the problem, but I will have to let my computer run for a few more hours before I can be sure it's fixed.

I have had two things causing BSODs while mining with reaper/cgminer:
1) Memory on motherboard is bad.
2) GPU is bad or seated improperly in the board/riser.

I moved my 7970 to another slot and it seems to have fixed the problem. I'm not using that card with the scrypt guiminer though. So that couldn't have been what was causing it.

Code for cudaminer integration is 100% complete but python doesn't want to recognize the console output from the program (), so I guess I'll have to work on it tomorrow.  It sucks because it's done for the most part, for some reason it just doesn't want to work.

Code:

import os, subprocess, sys

cmd = "\"C:\Python27\poclbm\cudaminer\cudaminer.exe\" -o http://ltc-pooldirect-a.kattare.com:9332/ -O user:pass -d 0 -i 0 -l auto -C 0 -m 1"
# cmd = "dir"
print cmd

p = subprocess.Popen(cmd,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
    stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
    universal_newlines=True,
    creationflags=0x08000000,
    shell=True)
    
while True:
    inline = p.stdout.readline()
    if not inline:
        break
    sys.stdout.write(inline)
    sys.stdout.flush()

Uncomment dir and dir command runs and outputs just fine.  Run cudaminer instance inside python and nothing shows up, despite cudaminer working fine outputting to console using the command in the command prompt.  No clue.
