Bitminter client (Windows/Linux/Mac)

[tinus42]

The hashrate meter is working for me now. Don't know if it is because you changed anything. I didn't change anything.

No, nothing changed here. It may be a bug that happens rarely.

It happens sometimes, not every time. I haven't kept a log so I can't tell you how often it happens. But more than just rarely. Maybe 1 in 4 times.

Hope you can find what causes it. Although it's not that important a function, it is a nice feature.

Why is the site down? Are we getting DDOS'ed again?

Why is the site down? Are we getting DDOS'ed again?

Something is causing the website to sometimes respond slowly, which can cause Cloudflare to think it is down. I'll need to investigate that..

  Down again!! this bites!!

[DrHaribo]

BitMinter client v1.4.1beta2 is ready for testing.

New:

• Fixed unstable hashrate on BFL ASIC singles and minirigs

Please check it out:


Let me know how it runs, especially on singles and minirigs.

It appears to be working great for mine! I'll run it for a while and let you know if I run into any issues with it.

I test it now and the last hour it seems ok; - because the old version had troubles with BFL LS and with BFGminer I have the same troubles, - always got sick after an hour
seems to be a USB driver problem (Ubuntu)

I hope this version will run without getting sick
and secondary
the most important feature will be to add a backup pool (if bitminter is down again)
TIA

now with the new beta:

[DrHaribo]

Yeah it looks like you have some USB issues. Maybe one of those USB hubs that "sometimes work" ?

[vaio127]

The newest version works great! Very nicely done

[doubleganger]

Is it possible to turn off the security warning that pops up every time I start the client either from the desktop or the command line that warns that the application has requested permission to create a desktop launcher. There is a check box to always allow but it's greyed out.  Any ideas as this is pretty annoying?  Otherwise everything is working great.

[ThatFatGuy]

Hey Dr. Haribo,
the BitMinter beta client and web page works great with my BFL 60 GHs.

Better than any other client/website combo.

You had the drivers and recognition for my tiny .333 miners when i just started, now I have a big dog, but I am sticking with the pool that got me off the ground when I was a newbie!

Thanks so much, I feel many of the clients are behind in the basic useful functionality for the small miner.

[SgtSpike]

I've not touched the beta client since first running it, and it's been rock solid thus far.

[ThatFatGuy]

Hey what is happening when everything stops showing computation rates on the website and my miner runs out of work? It happened night before last for about 4 hours but when i rebooted it started right up. Should I fear reboot? Will it keep me from receiving coins? Thanks.

There was a networking problem at the server for a moment, but it was luckily short.

[ewibit]

around every ~2 hours I have BFL LS errors

the Jalapeno and Eruptors are working though
I have tried different USB ports and now BFL LS on a Anker USB 3.0 Hub -> same errors
only resolving is if I kill client and start new
1.4.1Beta2

Looks pretty much the same as other USB failures. But I don't get why restarting the client fixes it. It closes the port after timing out while probing the port. Are you sure it's not just taking a short break that fixes it?

[ewibit]

perhaps this will tell you something, because you know the difference of the versions:
with v. 1.4.0 the BFL LS does nothing; - only errors

Code:

all other devices are working...

[DrHaribo]

Yes, the beta has 2 bugfixes to work on BFL ASIC singles and minirigs.

[ewibit]

last night the BFL LS was away again; - in the morning when I came I have done
"probe all ports for external devices"
and BFL LS was here again
therefore it will be a good feature in the menu
Perform scheduled actions
to do "probe all ports for external devices"
~ all 2 hours
TIA
