did testing on the beta 1.4.3
you still have an under reporting bug on your bit fury red sticks.
if I run 1 AM stick and 1 Red Fury ( with windows 7------------any combo of red fury sticks 1 or 2 or 3 has the same problem. each and every red fury is short about 1gh)
I get about 2.8 gh in the gui but my shift reports 1.9 to 2.1
If I run 1 AM stick and 1 red fury with windows 7 and use bfgminer
it reports 2.7 or 2.8 gh and my shifts report 2.7 - 2.79
basically your last 3 beta clients have under reported the paid shift work on each red fury about 1 gh. In comparison to using bfgminer.
Right now I have held off getting more bit fury gear since this under reporting will fool many people that buy gear from me.
I have had to teach at least a dozen people how to use bfgminer for the bit fury I sold to them and not use your java client. This is holding back hash rates on bitminter. Since many people like your simple easy to use gui. Please let us know when you figure this out. I will test the next beta for you again. thanks phil

I am running three workers as follows on BitMinter Client v1.4.3
Mac OSX Snow Leopard w/3 ASIC Block Erupter USB Miners Windows 7 Enterprise -32 bit w/2 ASIC Block Erupter USB Miners on an HP Z200 Workstation Windows 7 Professional -64 bit w/7 ASIC Block Erupter USB Miners and 2 x GeForce 9800GT graphics cards on GeForce R331.93 on an AlienWare Area 51 mini tower
While there do not appear to be any configurable items on the Mac, the GeForce 9800GT will allow me to modify these entries:
Work group size Work intervals
and enable/disable Manual vectors
The information icon gives minimal descriptions and I'm wondering if others have tweaked these settings for a performance gain. I just increased the Work group size of each GeForce to 256 and am watching its performance.
Regarding my Windows 7 boxes, I'm wondering if anyone has had success playing around with the comm port settings by increasing from the default speed of 9600. My hash rates seem to be fairly consistent, but if possible, I wish to reduce the Proofs of work rejected by the server. Or is that totally beyond my control?
All feedback is welcomed!

Thanks! Looking into this. While there do not appear to be any configurable items on the Mac, the GeForce 9800GT will allow me to modify these entries:

and enable/disable Manual vectors

You can try some different settings and see what happens. Don't set the work intervals too high. You won't gain much by setting them higher than 20 ms. Note that this will not be profitable anyway, due to the electricity costs. Use GPU mining as a learning tool to find out how mining works. Buy ASICs for actual mining.

I flashed on of my jalepeno's this morning with BitForce_SC-1.2.5. Everything seemed to go fine. However now Bitminter cannot connect to it. Under Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers BitFORCE SHA256 SC shows up. And it is on USB Serial Post(COM16). Bitminter says it cannot probe COM16: port in use. Can anyone give an idea of what I can do to fix this? Or did I break it?

Something still running that has the COM port open? Maybe try a reboot.

It is the jalepeno that is connected to USB (COM16). Changing the USB plugin that the jalepeno is plugged into causes the new COM port to be in use as well and Bitminter is unable to detect the device there either. Yet under my Devices and Printers Windows page the jalepeno shows up as BitFORCE SHA256 SC.

The COM port is always in use? Did you try a reboot?

I also posted this:

The COM port is always in use? Did you try a reboot? Since I flashed the jalepeno, yes. The jale is plugged in and windows sees it as a miner but now the bitminter program does not see it and says that it "cannot probe COM16: port in use" . The port is in use because the jale is plugged into it. Checking device properties the jale shows up on the com port that bitminter says it cannot scan or something. I have rebooted several times. I also tried plugging the jale into another usb plug. The com port changed and the same message was given by Bitminter, "cannot probe COMxx: port in use".

Hi Dr. I am having difficulties connecting my 2 KnC miners to your pool. I am getting the "Connect to CGMiner API failed." It only started yesterday after a reboot. I was mining fine for a month before. What is going on? Thanks for your help. I have been using the same setting and it worked before. they are as follows
mint.bitminter.com:3333 MyUserId.workerName
NVM, solved the problem.

I reckon you'd be better off financially using your gpus to mine scrypt coins and convert to btc at hashco.ws see my sig. look at https://litecointalk.org/index.php/topic,7722.0.html, but set them up for hascows. now i think about it you'll need to run cudaminer for your nvidia cards. research round that litecoin setup would show you some ideas for intervals and vectors if you want to stay loyal to DrH. with your asics, there are threads on here somewhere about overclocking and com settings. you might need a fan

I have a question regarding Bitminter Client. I am currently mining with 2 Block Erupters having a total of about 660 MH/s. My Client has been running for 5 days now shoing up I've earned 00058592 BTC Coins (or are this blocks?!) In Bitminter login it is showing up that my total earnings are like this: Personal Assets Balance Unconfirmed Future Expected per block Bitcoins 0.00227229 - 0.00227229 0.00003750 Namecoins 0.00717448 - 0.00717448 0.00007501
I feel like there's some difference between my client earnings and those showing up here? Or is it because I missunderstand something between the two statistical numbers in client and my bitminter login? I also would be glad to know what exactly the shift feature ( https://bitminter.com/shifts) is meaning to me and my earnings. Do I have to share my earnings because I am earning "less" compared to other miners with better hardware?
By side... currently Bitminter is mining BTC and NMC which are both Sha256 based currencies. Wouldn't it make sense to cross-mine other Sha256 currencies as well even if they are not as successful as BTC/NMC yet? As far as I know BTC/NMC Mining works somehow without much more extra calculation efford... I had a look to this list showing up other SHA256 Crypto-Currencies... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptocurrencies

Can you also tell me how the "shift" influences my personal earnings? Will I loose some of my personal minings having less efficient hardware vs. users having more expensive hardware?

The data center where our mining server is hosted appears to be completely down. It's being worked on. Updates will follow on twitter, facebook, google+ and bitcointalk. Apologies for the downtime.
