I use it on http://ozco.in/ works good im doing 1300mhash with a 5970@1000 and a 5870@1050 using phonix 1.61 i just started on the pool and like it.

I get an error that the dll load failed.  I am running guiminer 2012-02-19 version with bitclockers.  I am using windows 2008 R2 64 bit VPS server with no GPU, dual core CPU.  Here is a copy of the log:

Geforce 470, getting about 120Mh/s
Should I use poclbm or switch to a CUDA miner?
I'm swapping to a 7970 in a couple of weeks but til then would like to maximize what I get.

I'm not sure which one, but the error looks to be, you need to import a certain DLL that does not come with the application I am guessing. Yes, it would be nice if it stated which DLL.

I have an odd problem..

Whenever I am not viewing the tab of one of my cards in GUIMiner, it stops mining and gives me this error

Code:

But the second I click the tab, it starts working just fine again. It does this on my PC and another PC in the house. Mine is windows 7, the other one is windows 8. I have two 6870s, and the other one is a 5870..
I don't understand.
Does anyone have an answer for this?

Try a different pool and/or you are overclocked to high or underclocked to low or the cards are overheating.

The cards are at their default clocks, and the pool is my bithopper server and it works on Diablominer and Phoenix just fine.

[pekv2]

Well, anytime that I had received 

Code:

Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC 0 2

either one, it was the pool, two, overlcocks or underclocks, three, heat. And actually a while back when I connected to deepbit, I got them errors and found another error stating work submitted, no more work to get, I ended up going back to slush's without a hiccup. Four, maybe latency problems between you and the pool.

[ranzolu]

Ok so,
I was using guiminer/phoenix to deepbit, now suddendly it does not connect anymore, even if the same config works with slushspool.
Here is the error I get:

Code:

Thanks!

Do you still use GPUs? If so, the best way to "solve" this problem is to switch over to LTC mining, abandon guiminer and most importantly, one of the least profitable pools, Deepbit. Profits are much higher for LtC mining and selling them for BTC than keep on mining BTC directly. If you want to mine LTC, you need to switch to reaper anyways. You can then sell your LTC for BTC at Btc-e.com for example.

If indeed you are mining Bitcoins with Singles, Minirigs or Asics I would still propose to switch to a better PPS pool. Deepbit is probably the last choice, only if all others get Ddosd simultaneously. Switch to another miner because Guiminer is no longer really maintained/supported. Guiminer doesn't come with an in-built back-up pool option, so if a pool does go down, guiminer will just sit there waiting. Most people therefore recommend cgminer.

[opentoe]

When I run the miner program it doesn't display the program interface. It starts off minimized and I can never get it to restore to the main program screen. I can right click on it while it is in the tray and select "restore all" and nothing happens. Is this a program bug?

There's a "how to" video for GUIminer at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS4Ue2pXvYY

It's very basic but does the job for starters

CUDA miner with GTX 680 latest drivers gives error: "Unable to load CUDA module"

note also, phoenix/openCL/Diablo/phoenix2 cause display driver to crash upon close
Ufasoft runs great, just appears 2-4mhash less than the best in GUIMINER

cgminer.exe crashes its own program

cgminer being run standalone? I've got the latest 304 drivers on two systems with Nvidia cards and ran cgminer for a while on them to test them out. No issues with it at all. I was getting the driver crashes on "stop mining" with the default poclbm though.

yeah im getting that with almost all, and the feb GUIMINER version

do you have a GTX 600 series?

There is a problem downloading your newest version /guiminer-20120219.exe.

Error says:

I was able to locate my old guiminer installer from my old HD and run Norton Internet Security.

I got a trojan with the name, Trojan.ADH.2, detected and deleted by my AV.

Should I be concern with this?

If you run this miner in only a mining rig, then no problem.
But if you running it in a pc which you also store bitcoins , games .....then better avoid it.
