There has been a bit of an influx huh? Looks like our payout per share is going down. :p

You mean per block.  Payout per share only changes due to difficulty.

[Finny]

Yeah thats what I meant...

Looks like someone visited us or rented some hashing power:

Block was found (YAY, well done Turbor), and now its back to 120GH. Its like reverse hopping .

Looks like I ordered my 6950's just in time! Should put me back up in the 1% region of hashing power in the pool...lol and facepalm. And I should be able to pull an extra 60 Mhash/s out of the A8-3850 APU I am putting in the rig, so ideally, I should be able to add 860 Mhash/s to my current ~800 Mhash/s

[Defkin]

I think the pool needs a G.Luk upgrade.

may i suggest a rabbit foot usb?

[ZodiacDragon84]

he he. we have plenty of namecoins though!

[Finny]

Thats no consolation...

Streaks of bad luck are often followed by streaks of good luck.  Everything tends to average out.

EDIT: Not sure what was wrong, but I got it working with DiabloMiner.

I'm a total noob miner, as I've never used anything but the BitMinter client.  Hence, I'm way more familiar with everybody in the BitMinter thread, but let me know if it's inappropriate for me to post this here vs the mining support thread.

I found a computer at work with a GeForce 8800GT.  The computer is logged off about 90% of the time, so I want to setup some startup/logon/logoff scripts to mine with it when it's not in use.

Before starting all this, I tested with the BitMinter client and it gave me about 19.5 MH/s.

One poster claims that the 8800GT does about 20 MH/s using Phoenix and 24 MH/s using puddinpop's RPC CUDA miner.  Not real impressive, but I'll take free hashes. :-)  I spent about an hour and a half trying to make the RPC miner work, but here's what I'm getting on ports 8332 and 80.

Command:

Code:

rpcminer-cuda.exe -url=http://mint.bitminter.com:8332/ -user=Username.Worker -password=Password

Result:

Code:

Could not retrieve work from RPC server.
CURL return value = 22
No blocks are being hashed right now.  This can happen if the application is still starting up, you supplied incorrect parameters, or there is a communications error connecting to the RPC server.

I'd be happy to just use Phoenix, but I also spent about an hour trying to make that work, without success.  Here's what I get when I try to use ports 8332 or 80.

Command:

Code:

phoenix -u http://Username.Worker:Password@mint.bitminter.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=4

Result:

Code:

[11/02/2012 17:03:42] Phoenix v1.7.5 starting...

I also tried Phatk and Phatk2, but I couldn't find a way to disable BFI_INT.  Here's what I get with those kernels:

Code:

FATAL kernel error: Failed to apply BFI_INT patch to kernel! Is BFI_INT supported on this hardware?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You may want to try:

Code:

phoenix -u http://Username_Worker:Password@mint.bitminter.com:8332/ -k poclbm DEVICE=0 AGGRESSION=4

Thanks malavita.  I thought I was about to have a facepalm moment, but I'm afraid I get the same result with an underscore as I do with a period.

[ZodiacDragon84]

You said this was a work computer? Is traffic being filtered maybe?

Have you tried port 80 instead of 8332?

[ZodiacDragon84]

I have a feeling we are almost there on this block everyone! bring out the pick axes!

[WhitePhantom]

You said this was a work computer? Is traffic being filtered maybe?

Good thought, but I'm the IT Manager and configured everything.  Still, I double-checked and nothing's being blocked.

Have you tried port 80 instead of 8332?

Yup, same results either way.

Thanks,

Victory is had! block solved by Miner9er. Lets keep em coming guys!

[Turbor]

Back on track

[DrHaribo]

I switched to v1.2.2 of the back end a moment ago.

What's new:

• Faster reaction to block changes (detect blocks from other pools faster + initiate long poll response faster)
• Use X-Reject-Reason to tell the miner why its proof of work was rejected. Support for this coming in the next release of the BitMinter client which will log the messages. Support by other miners is listed here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Getwork_support
• Improved logging. There is a bug causing the back end to freeze up for 2-3 seconds. Seems to happen about once per day. Hopefully this will help track it down.
