I've got the GUI version of Bitcoin running along with DiabloMiner, but I keep getting the "connection refused" error message.  The port is forwarded properly and Bitcoin shows I have many connections.  I am using a MacBook Pro.

post your bitcoin.conf file (redact passwords...).  that's probably your issue.

I created the bitcoin.conf file in [user]/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ and it contains just my username and password in this format:

rpcuser=elrock
rpcpassword=xxxxx

No spaces, no quotes or anything.  Perhaps the syntax is wrong?

Also, I need help running bitcoind.  I can't find instructions anywhere, and I've looked extensively on this forum and the wiki.

Thank you for your help.

hmm... conf should be good.

so in a terminal you run: ./bitcoind [from the bitcoin directory - skip the GUI; go with the daemon]

and then: *******@minty64 ~/DiabloMiner/Diablo-D3-DiabloMiner-d758eef $ ./DiabloMiner-Linux.sh -w 128 -f 1 -u ******* -p ********

?

i'm assuming your mvn install on DiabloMiner went ok?

by the way, the best overall destructions i've run across are here:

post #3, by humble.  there are newish caveats relating to new versions of CLI and the Catalyst drivers, but...

"I can't find instructions anywhere, and I've looked extensively on this forum and the wiki."

Here is my problem:  I don't appear to have bitcoind on my computer.  Even as a hidden file.  I have neither a .bitcoin folder nor a bitcoin/bin folder.  Where would it be otherwise on a Mac?

I didn't install DiabloMiner, I just ran the shell from Terminal.  I don't know what mvn means - ?

Thanks again for your help.

You shouldn't use -w 128 unless for some strange reason it is, indeed, faster than you. -w 64 is whats recommended by AMD themselves.

Also, you only use mvn to build from source. If you download the binary zip, you don't (and can't) use this.

You can use bitcoin -server instead of bitcoind. I'm not sure if the OSX binaries build bitcoind.

Please note: I screwed up testing on SDK 2.4. It does fix the CPU use bug 2.2/2.3 introduced, but I get about 71 mhash/sec on my 4850 out of 76. This puts it at the same speed as 2.3, but without the CPU use.

So, I am still recommending 10.9 through 10.11 + SDK 2.1 for 4xxx/5xxx mining, but I'm recommending 11.3 + SDK 2.4 for 6xxx.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do I run bitcoin with the -server option?  Terminal doesn't recognize it.  Do I need to build from source and run that?

I don't understand your question. You download the OSX binaries from the Bitcoin website, unzip them, open up Terminal, cd to the directory, and then ./bitcoin -server & exit

Hi diablod3 I am facing some issues using this miner with dual 6990. With -f 1 the hash rates drop to a whooping 600000 low. I tested out different flags and found that -f 17 to 20 is the best with the highest at 1ghash/s. This is very stable compared to poclbm which fluctuates from 800mhash to 1.2ghash. I am using 11.3 + 2.4 sdk like u recommend. The preview 11.4 drivers + 2.4 sdk yield the same results. I am using windows 7 64 bit. And the only way to get the software to recognise the dual 6990 is to crossfire them. Any advice u could give me?

Thank you =)

you need a dummy plug in the 2nd card to make the os see it

Yeap both with dummy plugs attached. both diablo2d and poclbm will refuse to start without crossfire enabled.

I am stuck btw a fluctuating hash rate ~1.3ghash to 700mhash (poclbm) and a 1ghash hash rate diablo3d

On Windows, due to stupidity on Microsoft's part, you usually need a dummy plug to make cards that don't have monitors plugged in to them turn on (this doesnt apply to Linux, nor Crossfired cards). -f controls the length of a kernel (1/n seconds, where -f 1 is a full second), and you'll only see changes at large multiples or divisors of 60 (ie, 1, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, etc).

-f 1 tends to largely skew the realtime clock used by the OS. So, to test with -f 1, you need to run for about 10 minutes and only rely on the second number (pocblm does not provide a second number, so you can't accurately watch it).

That said, the numbers tell me you should get about 1.2 ghash total instead of 1 (or about 17% slower). I suspect a driver bug. Make absolutely sure you've turned off Crossfire and that my miner lists 4 devices.

Hi diablo I have the dummy plugs in both graphics card. And if I were to disable xfire the cards will not be recognised by the diablo software. Same goes with poclbm.

That shouldn't happen. However, leaving Crossfire on could explain your lost speed.

Thanks diablo I guess I will have to make do with the hash rate till amd comes out with the new sdk for 6990. Thanks for your great miner, I am using it for the dual 6990. It hovers around 1ghash/s and its at -f 7777777. Hahah I tested and the numbers seem to slow down the hash rate when its lesser than -f 17 but anything more it hits 1ghash/s constant. Which is nice =)
GPU Max at 93% with powerplay maxed out

It generally maxes out at your OS's kernel's scheduler's timeslice length. Generally, this is 100hz or 1000hz. Higher than -f 1000 makes no sense. Not only that, my miner has an automatic lower limit as to not send too little work to the GPU. The actual -f maximum may be much lower.
