For a given difficulty, there is a target hash value and all hashes smaller than this target value are valid solutions to a block.
I don't understand why do you treat all hashes generated in the system as solutions? They are merely generated hash values -- attempts to solve POF problem.

Every hash value bigger than target hash value isn't a solution at all, because under no circumstances it can be accepted as a solution to  POF problem! A solution is validated against all other solutions and if its hash value is the smallest it is accepted as the valid solution to a block.

To a certain extend, I can see your logic for clients of mining pools. But it is incorrect for a solo mining client, in my view. I'm curious to see someone's success in using guiminer solo mining and look at the proof, of course.

I don't want to derail this topic discussing the technical details of mining, so if you're still confused let's move this to a separate topic Smiley
Sure.  Smiley

Thanks once again for the great job you do with guiminer. A Linux option would be appreciated.

gboytazzz you might want to try clicking Refresh balance under the miner you are using. then enter the API key. That worked for me.

My miner keeps stopping.  Could this be because I have my overclocking too high? the memory clock too low? [300], the speed too high [950]? or does this have nothing to do with it, since my computer and graphics card keep on running even after the miner stops [gpu- Sapphire HD 5830]??
The miner is saying, it can't connect to slush?... but for 8 hours??? it seems unlikely to me and that's why I suspect the overclocking? I've tweaked the memory up to 350 and the speed down to 940, but will this solve anything?
thx
sorry

Marking something as virus because of a "small executable" that "executes from the filesystem"? I knew the guys at AVG where lazy, but not that much... do yourself a favour and change to Eset Smart Security, Comodo Internet Security + Firewall, or even Microsoft Security Essentials (:

Does the 6/14 version come with phoenix 1.50?  I have trouble using the standalone phoenix.exe with guiminer-it doesn't seem to show the MH/s properly.

The GUI can't read your config file for some unknown reason. The config file should be at a path like C:\Users\Kiv\AppData\Roaming\poclbm\poclbm.ini.

If you remove that file it will wipe your config and let you start the GUI fresh.

Also, if you send me that file I can look at what went wrong and put a fix in the next version, in case others experience it too.

Checked that file - empty. Guiminer has never opened on that PC, which means file was broken since beginning. No idea why that happened, but thanks for your time and help.

EDIT:
CPU aff. shows only core 0 and 1 on quar core CPU. Dunno if that was intended, just mentioning about.

BTW Guiminer's phoenix needs update to 1.50 version. Copying new phoenix doesnt show speed and crashes card after few minutes.

Had the same error with the config file as the above guy.

Everything was fine til I tried to save my settings, then next time i shut it down, it wouldn't start again.

Further investigation showed that the config file was empty, but deleting it fixed the problem.

Getting a repeating weird ASCII symbol where the x's are. Anyone else having this issue? Is it meaningful?

Can you please release a version with updated miners included?!
There are never version out here in the forum which are faster then the included ones.

In addition, there is an issue with the Phoenix 1.50 miner. Status is not shown/updated correctly. -v flags helps but still not 100% good
Please have a look at this..Thanks!

In addition, thank you very much for all the effort you've put in this piece of software, it's very useful! Appreciate it!  Smiley

Is it possible to mine with 4 5830 not crossfired with guiminer??? I'm having some problems...
I Have the latest version of guiminer, win7 x32 Ultimate, Catalyst 11.5, SDK 2.1, monitor + 3 dummy plugs.
Windows recognizes all 4 cards, and guiminer, too (as cypress 1,2,3 and 4). When I click start (any of them or all of them) Connecting... msg is all I got!!!

Anyone can help me?

THANKS!!!
