What is error 80131537?
Is there, perhaps, some way of just writing out what the error is so users can fix them?
Is anyone else running into this error when compiling the Linux version?

[ForceField]

Nice to see this working for Deepbit using the following tag:

Code:

bitcoin-miner-64.exe -a 5 -t 1 -g no -o http://pit.deepbit.net:8332 -u x@x.x -p x

Having trouble understanding, can someone explain in layman's terms what the -a and -A commands do?

-a is to choose the algorithm.  -A is to change the http header information in the case that a pool foolishly decides to block Ufasoft.  Try running bitcoin-miner with the -h option for the full help.

nope i didnt

I didn't so much run into it while compiling.  I ran into it while attempting to run what I compiled.  Perhaps it's because I used the OpenSSL version of libcurl4-dev?

duno, we first must know what this specified error is, then we can track down the issue

Let's see, while running the new 0.28 client in Windows, I'm now hitting an error that says "Invalid Argument."  However, I'm still getting accepted hashes for a while.

[K1773R]

just compiled the new version (0.28) and it isnt working at all: it just says 0 kHash/s and is doing nothing

same

i didnt "ctrl + c" it, i forgot to lol and after 15 min the miner mines now, but without LP. And the usual "Switching back to" isnt shown too, crazy...

[LightRider]

Unable to mine on the latest p2pool with ufasoft .28. No error message given, just sits at 0 KHash/second. Reverting to .27 works fine.

I hope this hasn't been covered too much already, but I don't see any documentation and honestly have no desire to wade through 37 pages.
Anyway, I'm wondering if this miner has the ability to throttle. I'd like to be able to continue mining while I use my PC for regular desktop activities, but the lag it just too bad.
Can anyone help?

At most, you can change the program priority to low or idle (if you know how).  The easiest way is to press Alt+Ctrl+Esc and change the thread priority via the system menu.  Alternatively, if you really want idle, type "start /b /idle" before the program in cmd prompt without the quotation marks around it.  Hope this was of some help.

I can (and have) changed the thread priority in Task Manager, but at best, that only works for the current session.
If the miner is restarted, that priority setting is lost.
I'm using GUIminer, so I haven't tried the /b/idle switch. Does that force it completely to idle, or just slow it down?

It seems like all this must be documented somewhere, I just can't find it.

I did discover that dropping the extra flags in GUI miner from "-gpugrid=512 -gputhreads=480" to "-gpugrid=256 -gputhreads=256" has pretty much the effect I want, I just figured there was a 'right' way to do it.

I'm using 0.28 windows version. Same "0 kHash/s and is doing nothing".
In task manager there is 0-1% CPU usage.

Reverting to 0.27

Can someone please provide the .27 version?
I'm running on Windows 64 bit.

Right click on your bitcoin-miner.exe file, open properties, click on the previous version tab, click the version from your most recent system restore point.

Im new to mining, I only started yesterday, so there is no way to check for a previous version as I didn't have any before .28
