It's nice that the beta client works with my flashed jalapeno the other one didn't work after the flash...............

Yeah, the problem was an incompatibility with the new BFL firmware. BitMinter client 1.4.1 is now out and works well with this firmware.

I fixed the news display (lower right) on the website, and put in a new RSS feed since Twitter doesn't provide that anymore.

The RSS feed has been tested with Thunderbird and Firefox. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Doc, I am trying to help a friend get up and running on bitminter on a MAC OS box(blind leading the blind).  No joy so far.  Could you direct me to the info needed to make this work?

Thanks

[Nemo1024]

The shifts are now ~1h45m, which is a bit longish. Maybe consider reducing the score to 0.3 from the next difficulty increase?

Nemo, thanks for all your hard work on the hub issue it has been a big help for me.

How far did you get?

I think Apple now disables the Java plugin in Safari by default. You'd have to turn that on, use a different browser (with Java plugin on) or run from command line.

You can start from command line by opening a Terminal window and typing:

Code:

javaws http://bitminter.com/client/bitminter.jnlp

There is also some troubleshooting hints for common problems at http://www.reddit.com/r/bitminter/comments/1c8oiq/troubleshooting_bitminter_client_startup_problems/

I don't want to adjust that too often. Let's see if we get our hashrate up a bit instead.

[OldDutchman777]

Thanks for the quick reply Doc.  I think/hope we can get him minting with the info you've provided.

Yes, Java is disabled now by default.  

If you go to terminal and enter:

Code:

Java –version

You should get a message telling you that no runtime is present and you will be prompted for the installation.

If you don't want to go into terminal at all, then the easiest way is to just go out and download the latest version of Java (at java.com) and upon install it will re-enable Java.  After that, Bitminter should work with no problem.

This pops up ever so often in the blockchain.info thread. Don't remember what the cause, but it seems to be a temporary thing.

Dr Haribo,

I know it's probably not a priority, but are you working on some marketing to get the pool growing ?
What about Cloudhashing, are you in touch with them ? or even AsicMiner could be convince to come back ?

Thx

Aren't Cloudhashing the guys that chickened out, because their customers could not understand variance?

ASICMINER are quite happily solo mining, it makes sense for them.

Hopefully WhitePhantom will be back, now that Dr implemented the email notifications for failing workers.

they sold really fast

It may be just me, but please don't use this thread for topics unrelated to BitMinter.

[philipma1957]

  pete mining gear like a stick a blade a gpu a jalapeño are related to bitminter. I use 100 plus sticks and will soon add 3 blades all will be mining here.  In fact when I get the blades I will be asking the good dr h  what I need to do to get them to run. 

I mentioned they were on sale hoping a few guys using bitminter would buy some and add to our hash rate.  Sticks are selling like mad on ebay I saw some for 36 usd each.  This could help our hash rate as a new guy  may use them on bitminter. when I sell stick on ebay I always tell them use bitminter.  I post this thread for them to read. I sold about 80 sticks and have kept about 100.
 I know I have at least 3 or 4 guys using bitminter due to the stick sales I do.

 I do agree my asking about the error on the blockchain is more general then bitminter alone, but this is a thread I feel safe to ask a more general question.

 I know forums sometimes get out of hand just go back a few pages and I opened my big mouth about coding scripts.  But this time I think I was more in line with doing something good for bitminter. If some bitminter members  purchased a few blades it would help the hashing rates for us. Or if they read that sticks are as low as 35-40 bucks on ebay it can get them started.

[philipma1957]

more news on lower prices for mining gear if you are in the usa prices dropped a lot overnight  sticks are at .18 btc and newer blades are 4 btc note the newer blades do not overclock
