Diablo, did you see post #395 ? Offer is still available. I'd be a lot easier if I just scrape up the money for a 5xxx myself. DiabloMiner development sometimes involves rebooting the machine. Repeatedly. Amongst swearing. 5850 cost has dropped enough that I can almost afford one. Your choose, but don´t worry if you need to reboot or reinstall, this is a dedicated rig for you I'm offering. I might end up getting one soon, so I think I'll just wait for that.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Update: New Launch4J windows binary, just run DiabloMiner-Windows.exe instead of Java manually or using DiabloMiner-Windows.bat.
Changed -w back to device maximum.

I'm having a few problems with the CPU usage of the miner, it's uses 100%. I remember that this wasn't always the case, so I wonder what changed it. I could start the JVM in profiling mode if you'd like

I have 2.1 installed: $ dpkg -l ati* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-======================================-======================================-============================================================================================ ii ati-opencl-dev 2.1 This package contain header files for OpenCL. ii ati-opencl-runtime 2.1 This package contain runtime files to run OpenCL aplication. And with other miners it doesn't happen. I'm using a vanilla snapshot from git (without my JMX modifications).

Guess what, it's my fault. The pool I was using was returning immediately if a long poll came with POST, instead of GET. Diablo was the only miner triggering this problem so far. We fixed it on the other side ^^

Small problem. AFIACT re: HTTP RFC, you cannot send a message body with a GET, only with a POST. So, uh, why wouldn't I be using POST?

Update: Added -v for vectors, reworked -f code (should allow -f 1000 on nvidia to work better), and disabled -z 10 by default on Radeon 5/6xxx

I just did some comparison to Phoenix and poclbm on my brand new 5850 @ 765 on SDK 2.1
Phoenix DEVICE=1 VECTORS WORKSIZE=128 AGRESSION=7 FASTLOOP BFI_INT = 273 Any combination of fastloop and agression does not pull head. 5, 7, 11, 13 with or without fastloop score around 273.
Phoenix without BFI_INT = 250
poclbm -v -w 128 -f 60 = 295
DiabloMiner, which does not do BFI_INT yet, -v -w 128 -f 60 = 273.
Assuming 250->273 shows off a representative 9.2% increase, soon as I implement BFI_INT, I should, again, have the fastest miner ever.

Bleh, I bought a new video card about 2 months ago, a 460 SE, and I was happy with it until I jumped onto this band wagon I really don't like how underperforming it is compared to a 5850, a card which is maybe $20 more than I spent for this thing. Thus, I'm thinking of upgrading; I want to know what is the nVidia equivalent, however, as I've had nothing but bad experiences with ATi recently.

a 5850 gets more mhash/s than a 580. There really isn't an nvidia equivalent.

How many more? If it's pretty close, well this 460 is going in a box so it's not like I'll be totally hurting. Plus the 12m I get from my girlfriend's little computer and the 1m I get from my laptop

580 gets 127-130 mhash/sec at stock clocks with rpcminer-cuda on default settings under Windows 7 x64 (only one card so no SLI issues). 5850 gets somewhere around 240 mhash/sec or possibly more with the latest miners (I'm going off the wiki on this).

Welp. The 5850 is also $70 cheaper. Guess I'll suck it up and hope AMD got its act together.

Superior Windows drivers, superior Linux drivers, 5-6x faster per watt on Bitcoin, same game or better game performance per dollar (69xx really screws over Geforce 5xx on games, especially in Crossfire vs SLI or games that use a lot of tess), plus AMD is the primary financial backer of a completely open source modern GPU driver stack and Nvidia is only unofficially threatening to sue over the same thing? Nvidia is the one that needs to get their act together.

Update: Added multiple vector widths, -v now requires a number
-v 2 is the old -v, and seems to be fastest on SDK 2.4, while -v 4 seems to be faster on SDK 2.1. I now get around 275.
I probably should go implement BFI_INT soon.

Hi. I'm quite a noob when it comes to all this java-programming-stuff, but I really want to try mining Bitcoins, and thus I downloaded DiabloMiner. I'm using Mac OSX 10.6.7 and my graphics card is a "ATI Radeon HD 5670". I try starting the program in Terminal, using the following: java -cp /Users/Felles/Desktop/DiabloMiner/target/libs/*:/Users/Felles/Desktop/DiabloMiner/target/DiabloMiner.jar com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner -u 12keBjKYgLJiTvwjxcbP5cbCHYV31TbT5d -p xxx -o pool.bitcoin.dashjr.org -r 8337 -g 5 which I found on an other forum, that solved some other problem I had previously. However, when I type that into Terminal, it gives me this: [5/13/11 7:54:08 PM] Started [5/13/11 7:54:08 PM] Connecting to: http://pool.bitcoin.dashjr.org:8337/Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1754) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:823) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1045) at org.lwjgl.Sys$1.run(Sys.java:73) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.lwjgl.Sys.doLoadLibrary(Sys.java:66) at org.lwjgl.Sys.loadLibrary(Sys.java:82) at org.lwjgl.Sys.<clinit>(Sys.java:99) at org.lwjgl.opencl.CL.<clinit>(CL.java:51) at com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner.execute(DiabloMiner.java:247) at com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.DiabloMiner.main(DiabloMiner.java:108) Then an app called com.diablominer.DiabloMiner.Diablominer launches down in the Dock, before quitting automatically after a few seconds.. I've of course downloaded the default Bitcoin client, as well as created the bitcoin.config-file with my username and password in the right format (even though I don't actually use those - as far as I know - as I'm trying to pool-mine). Could you please help me, so I can begin my exiting Bitcoin adventure?
