Just chiming in, on windows, you need to create a bitcoin.conf file and define your rpc username and pw in order to be able to launch 'bitcoin.exe -daemon', then you use the username and pw you specify here to call diablo's miner rpcuser=username rpcpassword=password
likely located in C:\Users\[your win username]\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin\bitcoin.conf in win7 And I cannot recall where that would go in XP off hand, but wherever the rest of the bitcoin stuff is stored Also, I don't think that java is appended to PATH by default, so you will probably want to add that as well to use 'java' from the command line C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin win32 patched getwork binaries at: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1334.0 No longer needed I've managed to get the miner and open CL working kinda with my AMD 5830. I can also authenticate to bitcoinpool.com. I assume the -u and -l switched are for the username and password to connect to the pool. There is mention of "rpc" which I assume is a remote procedure call? Does the Diablo *require* bitcoin run with the -daemon (windows service) switch to work? I've tried running bitcoin -daemon, it just brings up the bitcoin Window as normal. I've also tried running bitcoind.exe, the daemon directly, it appears in task manager, but I have no way of verifying if it is accepting rpc calls. Also where does the Diablo miner get to know what rpc passwords to use?, does it just read the bitcoin.conf file and pass them on to bitcoin? I can get bitcoin to generate hashes normally, but whenever I try to run the Java Diablo miner it keeps saying it can't connect to bitcoin. ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Bitcoin disconnected during I assumed getting Open CL to work would be the hardest thing, it seems something really simply must be wrong here, but I can't see what. I'm using latest version of Windows 7 64 bit and Java downloaded today.By the way it says I'm getting about 40K hashes, I was getting 1K from each CPU before, big difference. EDIT: I typed .\bitcoind.exe "" to check if rpc was working I got the following, error: {"code":-32601,"message":"Method not found"} So I assume rpc IS working, just that the Java Diablo can't connect for some weird reason?

I hope you made a typo in your post, -p is for passwords, not -l. You need -u, -p, -o, -r (username, password, host, and port, respectively) OR give -l http://username:password@host:port/. Don't mix and match. Any user of the JSON RPC API that Bitcoin has either needs to run bitcoin.exe -server or bitcoind.exe (which automatically does -server). -daemon only makes it run in the background automatically, it doesn't enable -server implicitly. A local running Bitcoin is not required for connecting to a pool. To check if Bitcoin is accepting RPC commands run bitcoin.exe getinfo, it should return a blob of JSON with things like your balance and Bitcoin's version.

Thanks,
Yes the switches were a typo, was tired this morning.
I got the rpc response, so bitcoin is running in server mode, I set the switch in the .conf file. In the conf file I set the port to 8332. I assume the port you set for the Diablo command line is for the bitpool? In this case it's 8334 for bitcoinpool.com.
The error message below I assume is then for the *remote* bitcoin server in the pool? I can't think what else I'm doing wrong
Error: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Bitcoin disconnected during response
Getting 80K plus hashes now, assuming I get it to work.

Yes, my miner refers to whatever it connects to as Bitcoin. Your -r should be 8334. My miner does not read any conf files, thats for Bitcoin itself only; which if you're connected to a pool, it doesn't matter.

I just set up Bitcoin and DiabloMiner for the first time.
I started Bitcoin - I see it running
Generating - 25 connections - 57208 blocks
But when I start DiabloMiner
DiabloMiner-Windows.bat -f 180 -u <user> -p password -o 127.0.0.1 -r 8332
I get
ERROR: Can't connect to Bitcoin: Connection refused: connect
occasionally I see
28000/28000 khash/sec
for 1 or 2 seconds then error continues.
Port forwarding for 8332 forwards to the correct computer
Windows 7 64 bit ATI Radeon HD 5670
My google-fu got me through all the other hurdles I encountered setting this up, but I am not finding a solution to this issue.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

Sounds like you didn't enable RPC correctly on your bitcoind.

Sounds like you didn't enable RPC correctly on your bitcoind. Here is what I have. From what I read seems right to me - still getting errors most of the time though. rpcuser=user rpcpassword=password server=1 rpctimeout=30 rpcallowip=192.168.1.4 rpcport=8332 gen=1

Most people only use rpcuser, rpcpassword, and rpcallowip. Maybe one of the other arguments are screwing it up? Also, make sure you have the right IP. Try changing to 192.168.1.* temporarily and see if that fixes it (if it does, your IP is wrong or not static).

How about BFI_INT support? That sounds like the main feature that is holding DiabloMiner back performance-wise.

I wouldn't mind adding BFI_INT support, but I own a Radeon 4xxx. I have no way of testing it.

I can give you access to a box with 5850 / 5870 / 5970 for testing Diablominer already installed ;-)

DiabloMiner development sometimes involves rebooting the machine. Repeatedly. Amongst swearing. 5850 cost has dropped enough that I can almost afford one.
