Try cgminer. All instructions and info can be found in that thread. Ok, think I understand cgminer a bit better, but can't get it to connect to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333, says "no live pool" and gpus do not start. My command line is: cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p {my worker wd] --shaders 1024 --intensity 17,17,17 --worksize 256,256,256 -g 1 I tried the same command line except with --scrypt flag and connection to LTC pool, all gpus fired up and pumping 275 KH/s each. try once with just --intensity btw: 17 sounds very high when not --scrypt from my short experience. (not that you said what cards you have.  ) I'm running three Asus HD7870DC2-2GD5-V2 gpus tried your suggestion with command line = cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p [my worker pwd] --intensity 10 cgminer returns the following: probing for an alive pool pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: (null) No servers were found that could be used to get work from. Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers Pool: 0 URL: http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 User [it's showing the right worker id] Password: [it's showing the right pwd] Press any key to exit, or cgminer will try again in 15s. guiminer connects to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 ok, but it can start all 3 gpus, only 1 does any work. well, enough for tonight -- gotta get some sleep Think you need to use --intensity 10,10,10 But seems like you were tired when doing this  . If you start it up with a batch-file, you can use // to put in comments etc. This makes it easier to find a good setting based on previous tries. All lines starting with // will be ignored. Would look something like this: ----mining.bat------ //Original setup //cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p {my worker wd] --shaders 1024 --intensity 17,17,17 --worksize 256,256,256 -g 1 //Test setup based on ramblings from some random interweb guy cgminer -o stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u [my worker id] -p [my worker pwd] --intensity 10,10,10

There is no point in setting shaders or threads since cgminer detects and uses the most optimal settings. (Ofcourse you need to experiment with them but in general) And as i said before dont use intensities higher than 10 (optimal is often 9) on bitcoins. Also the problem you need solved is that cgminer is defaulting to HTTP protocol which stratum is not. Use the url string i provided.

Any one else notice slush's pool luck is proportional to BTC price - when pool luck is low it's a good time to buy BTC and when pool luck is high it's a good time to sell. Uncanny.

guiminer connects to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 ok, but it can start all 3 gpus, only 1 does any work.
With guiminer and multiple cards you need to create another miner for each card. Just go to file > new miner and setup another one. Then use the device dropdown list to select the next GPU. Create one for each GPU and you should be fine. If you don't already know about it you can select view > show summary and see all of the miners at once.

It sounded like he was using the same gpu for all three miners. Make sure the device drop down selection is different for each miner...

Impossible to connect with stratum. Impossible to mine. Cgminer does not connect with stratum.

I'm good to go on guiminer, although I did see my estimated reward jump so it does look like some peeps are getting disconnected... But I'm ok with that since my reward is steadily climbing!!!

I had to go and get cocky.
Now my miners are bouncing up and down like Pamela on Baywatch...

I'm not sure, I'm actually using the latest guiminer, with the dropdown just set to slush's pool. It doesn't actually say what url it uses for that setting. But I am still submitting shares, albeit inconsistently...

I should now add that I have a seperate macine running bamt and mining through another machine at home running the proxy. That setup hasn't submitted a share in about 40 minutes. And that is around 700 mhash.
My other two, 350mhash, and 70mhash (my laptop), are both using the latest guiminer, and submitting shares this whole time.
