Is there a way to set up GUIMiner to restart crashed/frozen miners in the case of unstable overclocks? I'm trying to max out my system, and it really frustrated me to set an OC, go to work, and come back 8 hours later to learned the miner froze 10 minutes into mining because the display driver had to reset and recover.

Not really unless you set up a task to kill and restart GUIminer every 30 minutes to an hour so you don't lose that much mining time.  It's probably better to not set clocks to unknown levels unless you can let it run and watch it for a few hours.  Usually if you go too high it'll crash right away or within an hour or so.

Also, just a thought.  Totally overclocking your cards to the extremes for a few extra MH isn't really worth it in the long run.  Say you can squeeze another 20 MH out of it, that equates to a whopping .32 BTC / month at the current difficulty.  While it may seem good, if you have to replace the card after 4-6 months, is it really worth the 1-2 extra BTC?


Not to mention an overclock that nets you an extra 20mhz is going to make the card use a lot more power, so your MH per Watt goes down.

I actually underclock my cards to get the sweet spot between power consumption and hash rate.
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

The GUIMiner doesn't have the latest version of Ufasoft CPU miner. It took me several hours to figure out. Please add this to the download.

It is not included in the 082311 version but here is the link to the ufasoft forum message http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3486.0

It is still supported, but not included in the distro.

I realize you were referring to the old version just putting this here for the ones that used it in the past (and to bump this new version, couldn't find it in the forum Wink ).


--------------------------------------------------

I am also not showing shares accepted updating (useing a preset, or a custom built entry to a pool)... but they are indeed being accepted on the pool (verified on worker status page at the pool website).

Only thing I've noticed was a 2-4 mhash/s drop, and refresh balance button was gone along with slush's pool set to Other.

Went back to v2001-07-01.

I think this is the same problem I've got, please pardon me if you've answered this but I can't see an explanation reading your posts. Is it just a bug with my system or has the refresh balance for slush's pool disappeared? I don't run it through "other" either, just curious why this has been removed if it's not a problem on my end.

Wonder "I know it could be done" if a Settings/Options could be created then a check box for if you want or don't want the refresh button, along with w/e else options, instead of removing it completely. Give the end user the decision to have it hidden or shown.

Thanks for the issue reports guys, I'll look into it and do another release today or tomorrow. Guess I didn't test thoroughly enough... maybe I should have dedicated beta testers or something.

Known issues so far are:
- slush pool refresh balance missing
- shares accepted staying at 0
- "AttributeError: 'HttpTransport' object has no attribute 'failure'"

phoenix 1.5 with newest phatk. Using AMD 11.6 drivers on win7 x64.
2 5830 in the box with dual core proc but both processes tied down to one core..

i get better performance than this new release.


323 mh/s per card with my custom job.
318-319 mh/s per card with this new release.

it seems to me you have not really taken a good look at phatk 2.2.

Er.. yes you have. one just needs to switch to phatk2 in the command line args!!!

so basically upgrading phoenix, only for me personally, was not really needed like
I mentioned in a diff post unless you wanted new args to phoenix binary.

time to try it with some 6950s.

nice job.
