Happy Canada Day everyone! 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-20110701.exe (self-extracting archive)


Changes:

- Updated poclbm (OpenCL miner) backend to the latest version which has built-in fallback support and slightly improved performance using a modified phatk kernel. Big thanks to m0mchil and all who submitted code for this. This version should be a few percent faster on most graphics cards.
- Update Phoenix backend to version 1.50.
- Add many more pools to the server list, including separate servers for BTC Guild.
- Default CPU affinity changed to be CPU 0 only instead of all CPUs.
- Display of GHash shows more decimal places (requested by hawks5999).
- When you save miner settings it remembers the GUI size and position for future runs (requested by goozman96).
- Removed weird characters in console log of Phoenix miner.
- Error handling: If settings file could not be read, recover gracefully instead of raising a JSON error.
- Error handling: If no OpenCL devices exist, recover gracefully instead of raising AssertionError.

Fallback support in poclbm/OpenCL miner:

In the flags, specify the --backup argument with the info of the backup pool. For example if I want to fallback to my account on slush's pool, I would write:

--backup=Kiv.GPU:mypass@api.bitcoin.cz:8332

That's all you need for basic fallback support. You can tweak it with these options:

--failback=N   attempt to fail back to the primary pool every n getworks, default 2
--tolerance=N   use fallback pool only after N consecutive connection errors, default 2

In the future this might be more tightly integrated into the GUI but I don't want to make the GUI too complicated for things that a lot of users don't need.

Agree on the tipping. I think 1.867 would make a great tip in honor of the year that Canada was formed (1867). These enhancements are great and Guiminer makes my operation loads easier. Thanks for implementing my request, Kiv.

I got an antivirus autoprotect warning about a bitcoin-miner.exe file...

Should I be worried about that?

Very nice and appreciated, but weird. I made the changes to the old miner (20110614) when they were announced but never saw any increase  Sad After putting in the new miner and changing nothing else I went from 196 Mhash/s to 209 Mhash/sec (roughly 6.6% improvement). Not sure how or why this works and the other didn't, but I'll take it  Grin

No, it's a false positive so you don't need to worry. But if you're not using that EXE (it's the CPU miner) then it's fine to delete it.

I love this program, thank you so much!  Only thing I would like added would be if it saved the size of the actual GUIMiner window.  I have 7 tabs of pools in my GUIMiner list, and have to re-size the program each time I open it. 

Thank's again!

Maybe you knew this already, but if you have the summary tab open you can just click the miner name in there to go to that miner. I actually use that most of the time instead of clicking the tabs.

Great performance increase with this new version.

If I could make a suggestion though, maybe the extra flags textbox should be on a line of it's own. The fallback flags really fill that space up.

I seem to fail at using a pool with different port as backup for an "other" pool. It appends the port specified in the field, and leaving that blank makes poclbm refuse to start so it doesn't help adding the port for the main pool in the address field.

Mining multiple GPUs mostly causes a lot of CPU use, so forcing all miners to the use same core keeps the total CPU load down.

I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do. I'll try to paraphrase:

Your primary pool is an "other" pool with some port specified in the Port text box (let's say 8333).
Your backup pool has a different port than 8333, let's say 8332.

For me, I am able to put it in the extra flags like this and have it work:

--backup=Kiv.GPU:mypass@api.bitcoin.cz:8332

The port for the backup pool is supplied by me after the colon, while the port for the primary will come from the Port text box. Let me know if this helps at all, maybe I misunderstand or you're having a different issue Smiley

I was trying to set up a backup for an Eligius miner, which I have to define manually with port 8337, and when it tries to connect to the backup it tries to reach backup-pool.com:8332:8337.

Scratch that. It works now. Probably left something I shouldn't when I shortened the address after using cut and paste from the console to look it up after starting a miner configured for the backup pool...

nice work! i love this software Smiley
one request though:
it would be extremely useful if i can just clone an existing tab-worker (right clicking the tab) than create a new one.
since in my rigs i have always more than 2 workers Wink
thanks
