+1 My rig profitability would be 40% higher mining LTC at current BTC difficulties. I hate the thought of using other than Bitminter client. Any progress in porting the excellent client to Litecoin?

BitMinter client version 1.4.0 is out. Changes from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0: - Added support for BFL SC (Butterfly Labs ASIC)
- Fix hashrate measurements for ASICMiner Block Erupter USB
- Fix hashrate gauge being stuck on non-zero value when you stop mining while
in performance mode, then leave performance mode - Mac OS X: Fix "probe all ports" to find ASICMiner Block Erupter USB
- Mac OS X: Use screen menu and dock icon, like other Mac apps
- Default to scanning all ports for external devices on startup
- Remove yellow and red zones and warning light on gauges
- Remove green zone on gauges for devices where we can't determine stock
hashrate. BFL FPGA, BFL ASIC, Icarus-compatible devices (hashrate varies). - Recognize more devices
Try it out: http://bitminter.com/images/start.pngIf you have issues with 1.4.0 then you can still get the previous release (1.3.2) at http://bitminter.com/client/1.3.2/bitminter.jnlpNext up will be Stratum and backup pools. sorry if i missed it, i really searched thru this thread.. im using bitminter with a part of my cluster, and because of logistic (hub port and psu) i would like to put 2 x6500 to run on a bitminter client.. does it support it?

Running the 1.4.0 beta client on my MacBook Pro (10.8.4) as a standalone java runtime app with two ASIC USB miners.
It's the only miner I can get to work on my system. MacMiner's CPU miner is fine, but all other miners croak and give me errors.
So, I'm happy as a clam so far. Thanks!

Would love to know if you fully support x6500's also. Ie; I can move away from mpbm...

Hey, Doc - love the client, and am eagerly awaiting LTC support, since I can't seem to get my rigs doing anything in that realm with cgminer for some arcane reason.
I've been looking at the CDF's for weeks, and I'm pretty sure that they are not evenly distributed. There are far too many in the 90th percentile and 10th percentile than would be expected... Any idea why that might be? Are we doing something wrong, somehow? I'll post real data later today, for you to look at...
Thanks, again, for a wonderful client! -- DickMS

OK, here's the frequencies for the last 200 BTC blocks.... as I suspected, the outer ends are more heavily weighted:
Frequencies | last 200 | percent | 10 | 25 | 12.5 | 20 | 17 | 8.5 | 30 | 20 | 10 | 40 | 20 | 10 | 50 | 19 | 9.5 | 60 | 19 | 9.5 | 70 | 14 | 7 | 80 | 17 | 8.5 | 90 | 24 | 12 | 100 | 25 | 12.5 |
Here's the same data broken down by quartiles: Frequencies | last 200 | percent | 25 | 55 | 27.5 | 50 | 46 | 23 | 75 | 43 | 21.5 | 100 | 56 | 28 |
Admittedly, that's only the last 200 samples, but the analysis is disturbing... this represents (at 4 blocks per day) about 50 days of data. BTW, to be clear, the table values mean the actual number of data points between the bin boundaries, and their percentages. For example: means that, in the range of 0 to 25%, there were 55 samples; and that represents 27.5% of the 200 samples in the dataset... I'd have to be more of a statistician (or an actuary) to know how readily the statistics of small samples would allow this kind of variance, but perhaps it's something someone should look into, in case there's an as-yet-undiscovered peculiarity in the algorithms? -- DickMS

I have been trying to get bitminter up and running on my Pi for quite a while now. I have managed to get java installed and bitminter launches and downloads its own files after clicking the link on the page. But during the loading it pops up an error saying "JNA native support (/com/sun/jna/linux-arm/libjnidispatch.so) not found in resource path"
I have the icedtea web launcher and everything seems to work fine other than missing this one .so file. I am not sure how to get this to work since that /com/sun/blah blah isn't a path I can move the .so file to. Any suggestions? I would really like to be able to use the Pi to control my erupters instead of having to use my main PC!

I'm on similar situation. Tried some LTC clients, but couldn't get them to run. I've stopped BTC mining at this point...may consider again if/when bitminter comes out with an LTC minter.

Help me troubleshoot my BTC address. Send some coins here: 1FkQS1RuEmSppCPdGPVGHtc4aj2nBiHAYF If I don't return your test transfer, it must be having issues still.

I just got a USB Block Erupter and installed it properly and started minting with the Bitminter client. After 2 hours it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Here's a screenshot: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FhyxzGQU.png%3F1&t=665&c=xQEk-u8E2CF-Ew) The speedometer is still showing 0.00 Mhps but on the top right the current hashrate is shown. It sometimes give "Connection timed out". I set it to Use port 80 (firewall friendly) in the settings because I have a crappy modem that blocks many ports. Advice would be welcome. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I'm kind of liking the peace not hearing them GPU fans roaring nonstop. The profit was really minimal in either BTC or LTC for the pain involved. The bitminter java client was the painless one of the bunch, but alas, no LTC support and not worth running on GPU's anymore.

I can't get the btminter mining button to work on firefox, nor chrome. I'm running ubuntu 11.10, and have OpenJDK Java 7 Runtime and Iced Tea Java Web Start 6 installed. When I click on the button in chrome, it just downloads the bitminter.jnlp file. In Firefox, it tries to run it, but running it in Firefox isn't right as it just opens an empty window. The button ran fine on the Windows 7 PC. any ideas?
Sounds like the java plugin is not working in your browser. Could you try starting from command line instead? javaws http://bitminter.com/client/bitminter.jnlp
I have been trying to get bitminter up and running on my Pi for quite a while now. I have managed to get java installed and bitminter launches and downloads its own files after clicking the link on the page. But during the loading it pops up an error saying "JNA native support (/com/sun/jna/linux-arm/libjnidispatch.so) not found in resource path"
I did run it on a raspberry pi a little bit for testing. Which operating system did you install on your pi? OK, here's the frequencies for the last 200 BTC blocks.... as I suspected, the outer ends are more heavily weighted:
For that little data it looks pretty even. If you want a thorough analysis have a look at the one Organofcorti did: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2013/05/131-bitminter-and-luck.htmlDunno what's wrong but I cannot login anymore with the Bitminter client, bad credentials.
If you are still having problems please contact me through the contact page at the website and I'll look into it.

Closest i got was the problem I posted before using the hard float raspbian. I spent 2 days straight trying to get it up and running before I gave up and switched to minepeon. Which version of java did you use? Did you use Icedtea and if so what version?

I believe it was Raspbian with openjdk. It took about 60 seconds to start, or at least it felt that way, but it ran ok after it finally got up and running.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the miner that it just gets to the point where is finished downloading and then gets stuck verifying and doesn't actually start. Is this a new issue or is it something I'm doing wrong?
I'm using windows 7 with firefox version 22 and I have Java Version 7 Update 25
thanks

Do you have AVG antivirus? Disable/uninstall it if you do, then try again...
