GUI mining - updated Dec 3 with 7970 bugfix, also supports Stratum!

[bleedkira]

I will gladly donate once the coins start flowing  

Got some buds with some higher end systems joining me so we're already at 1ghash/sec.

Forgive my newbness, but running 24/7 at current difficulty level, processing at 1ghash/sec, what would output be approximately?

Gratzi,

DKN

A little under 2BTC/day.

    guiminer-20110608.exe (self-extracting archive)

Changes:

- Deepbit server location updated to pit.deepbit.net.

Last version lacks API functionality for deepbit. Is it intended?

[BombaUcigasa]

It's not immediately obvious how to use the Phoenix/phatk options, and I can't set priority for ufasoft (instead I launch it with a .bat and set a low priority for it). I also have to set CPU priority manually for the poclbm miner (to high, so it saturates the GPU as soon as possible). Could this be implemented in the GUI?

[AlexWaters]

I keep getting the error: Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC

My poclbm.ini reads correctly when I view it:

{
    "profiles": [
        {
            "username": "myusernamel",
            "balance_auth_token": "",
            "name": "thurjun72011",
            "hostname": "localhost",
            "external_path": "",
            "flags": "-w 256 -f 1",
            "autostart": false,
            "device": 0,
            "password": "mypass",
            "port": "8332"
        }
    ],
    "bitcoin_executable": "E:\\coinage\\Bitcoin\\bitcoin.exe",
    "show_opencl_warning": true,
    "show_summary": true,
    "show_console": true
}

Anyone know of a solution to this? I realize that it is not connecting to my bitcoin.exe correctly, but I don't understand how to fix it!

Thanks for the awesome GUI, and solid community.

Can we get a start minimized feature?

[beserk1]

how do I auto start miner as soon as the program run?

I want to set it up so it auto start mining when window start

Nope, this slipped by.

the url for BTCguild needs updating.  the www. is required or the site pitches an error page at you, rather than the expected JSON data, breaking the balance fetching.

Good catch. I'll put an update out today with these fixes.

Create shortcut of guiminer.exe and place in startup folder.

Thanks for the updated software Kiv.

I've upgraded from a NVidia 9400GT to a ATI 5770 today and I am flying, it's great.
I think I haven't done something correctly though, I already had flags set at -v -w128 but then I added -f0 and my system has frozen, I haven't pressed anything since but I guess the GPU is now concentrating solid on the miner, any tips how to wake my system up? I opened a web page to post here about the following problem (below) and it just locked up. I have tried ctrl+alt+del but it didnt help. I would prefer not to just kill the power.

Another thing is, I downloaded the 2.4SDK and the MSI Afterburner, but I can't seem to underclock the memory any lower than 600.

Just before it locked up I was averaging about 184M/h - compared to my measly 2.9 before

edit: also tried to close with alt+f4.

Cut the internets? Wasn't -f 10 good enough for you?!

Good catch. I'll put an update out today with these fixes.

adding "www." in a few places in servers.ini fixes the problem.

Code:

		{	"name": "BTC Guild",
			"host": "btcguild.com",
			"url": "http://www.btcguild.com",
			"port": 8332,
			"balance_token_url": "http://www.btcguild.com/my_api.php",
			"balance_host": "www.btcguild.com",
			"balance_url": "/api.php?api_key=%s"			
		},

Well I wouldn't of followed the instructions if I had of known it would do that lol I was trying lots of settings because it was dipping under 100 regularly, and I tried following some advice on forums etc.
Anyway I just killed the whole thing. Seems to be okay now.

I've left it on Clock: 950 Memory: 600 and Flags: -v -w128 -f60
I still can't underclock the memory under 600 though, but at least it is stable.

Hye Kiv, The "click to donate" amounts are wrong, When i went to donate .1btc, I was linked to a "pay .01" link

[Kiv]

Thanks, fixed

A new version of the miner is available; I've updated the download link on the first post, or you can get it here:

    guiminer-20110609.exe (self-extracting archive)


Changes:

- Fix bug where Deepbit API was disabled.
- Update BTC Guild url to contain www. This fixes the API functionality.
- Added "start GUI minimized" option.
- Added separate menu options to create different miner types (Phoenix, puddinpop, ufasoft).
- Added Donation menu.

I realize that the translations are now slightly out of date since I added new menu items in this version. Please be patient while I work with the translators to update things; or if you want send me an updated translation file and I'll include it

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with a problem I've been having with guiminer on a 890fxa-gd70.

I can run 3 6870s no problem.  But when I install a 4th 6870, guiminer crashes when I start it with this error:

If I shut down, then pull the card out, and boot again, guiminer runs with no problem.

I've tried deleting the saved guiminer settings, and running a clean install.

I'm running 11.5 ati drivers with 2.4 sdk.  I ran the ati driver install with all the cards plugged into monitors.  All four card show up in windows including gpu-z.  GPU-z shows that OpenCL is available on all 4 cards.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

After installing my new gfxcard (yay 6850 :0)) poclbm didnt wirk anymore so i was happy to see phoenix was still working and even more happy to see your gui does now run it.. but i got a small problem with it.

My shares arent refreshed in the gui anymore and there seems to be a problem with the console output which looks like that:

I am having problems with the balance indicator. It says bad response from server. I keep on refreshing and it continues to say that. I also did not add anything in the tab for balance, and dont want to stop mining just to add it.

[Kiv]

That's a first... you could try moving the miner folder somewhere outside Program Files. The only thing I can think right now is that the program isn't allowed to access Program Files for some reason.
