This running-wild behaviour is a well known problem with the somewhat broken OSX OpenCL implementation and the phatk-style miner kernels. No proper solution yet. However, you can use an earlier version of Diablo miner with a different kernel. If you check out the sources, do a "git log" and look for the time the switch to the phatk occurred (iirc Jun 24), and use that one. You can also find an older version packaged in a Mac-friendly app by someone else here on the forums: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8994.0

This really should be an FAQ entry somewhere...

The ghash meter just measures raw ghash produced. If it stops moving, then yes, you have a problem. FPS doesn't sound right unless you're a large -f value in the same ballpark, and the second mhash number doesn't make sense unless you own 2 or more video cards.

I assume its just more OSX insanity. I am not surprised.

It is the original Mac Mini without any hardware changes. (1 video card)

How can I help to get rid of the OSX insanity? Or should I get rid of OSX? Smiley

Honestly? Don't mine on OSX. Even when it works, it sucks up 40% of your performance.

Yeah, but you also lose a ton of important fixes.

Agreed. What I do is, I patch the current master head version so that it uses the kernel and support code from before the change. Works nicely, but admittedly not a solution for the masses.

Regarding performance loss on OSX, well, I mine for fun not for profit, and I'd rather have something that works at reduced efficiency than nothing at all.

Could you make your DiabloMiner directory available somewhere? I also mine for fun: Smiley

Sorry, I'm blind. Its 329, I dunno why I didn't see that line. What command line are you giving it? Its wrong, but I should be handling that error properly.

I've got tons of them with another miner, so it is something in the pool.

Sorry for bothering.

If you haven't noticed, it appears to happen every 50 min.  It could also be your network connection settings to disconnect and create a new connection after 50 min.  Could be in your router if not the pool.

Anyway it has problems with poclbm as well while it works ok with phoenix.

I am thinking a pool issue. I bet their HTTP implementation is very wrong.

Good news, I can replicate the bug.
Bad news, I'm busy trying to make the kernel go faster so my next patch won't be a fix for this
Good news, use -l http://username:password@pit.deepbit.net:8332/ until I fix it

I have a technical question for the developer; At ABCPool we have at least one user experiencing problems when connecting with Diablominer. Part of it pertains to Long Polling; ABCPool times out LP connections with an empty HTTP 200 response after 50 seconds to prevent defunct LP connections from causing delays when a new block is found.

When this happens, DiabloMiner prints
Code:
[8/18/11 10:22:18 AM] ERROR: Cannot connect to pool.abcpool.co: Bitcoin disconnected during response: 200 ok

Is it possible that DiabloMiner gets confused by these timeouts? I'm wondering, is there another way for ABCPool to gracefully timeout the connection in a way that DiabloMiner remains happy?

BTW: The way Phoenix handles such a timeout seems OK: It silently reconnects. Is there a way to get similar behaviour from DiabloMiner?
