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

[visdude]

I'm not sure if this has been asked on here before but are we going to see a version of GUIMiner that would support ASIC devices to eventually be released sometime soon?

[Nonlin]

Guys I keep getting this. What could be wrong?

This is usually because of the latest drivers in a rig with older cards...  What cards do you have and what SDK and Catalyst Drivers are you using?

[Nonlin]

HD5870 is my card as it says Cypress.

Latest Drivers.

Why would their be a conflict?

[lemonys]

A lot of cards have come out since the 5xxx series (6xxx, 7xxx, etc...).  Newer drivers are geared to make sure the latest cards that are out work correctly, sometimes at the expense of the older cards.  The best (mining) drivers for the 5xxx series is usually the catalyst 12.4 and SDK 2.5 versions.

[Nonlin]

Bummer.. Lose modern driver optimizations. Maybe the next lowest will work.

[Mhash pipe]

I love guiminer and have been using it for a good while. I want to know though, is there any difference in hashrate or temps between guiminer and cgminer assuming the card settings are the same?

 Hello!
This client works fine, but two times per day i receive the error:   
no response to getwork, using as stratum
Failed to subscribe
IO errors - 1, tolerance 2

after that my client stops doing anything.  is it possible to setup when client will reconnect after  any error on server?
by the way, other clients continue to work (cpuminer etc).
  Thank you.

Just upgraded to Windows 8 on my mining rig.  I've now got a HD5870, a HD6970 and a HD7850 all mining happily together with minimal effort.  Windows 7 was a nightmare for me with this hotch-potch of hardware.

i keep getting this upon starting to mine.Could anyone please help.

Use stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

I have question regarding Eligius pool via GUIMiner.

I get constantly  "Listener for "Eligius ATI": gbt.mining.eligius.st:9337 [or getwork.mining.eligius.st:8337 not to mention bugged stratum] 08/06/2013 22:52:55, warning: job finished, 1:0:Tahiti is idle"

Then "Listener for "Eligius ATI": gbt.mining.eligius.st:9337 [ + same as above] 08/06/2013 23:02:57, long poll IO error"

And finally card just stops working with something like:

Card just spins up and down, up and down. It is more annoying than constant whine of overworked fans. GUIMiner is only way for my 7950 to work on Eligius on my primary PC. Tried to setup Eligius via CGMiner but it detects only first VGA which is GTX580 (not used for mining) even when I explicitly select 7950. BTW: If I plug GTX580 via CUDA miner on Eligius it works like charm. And if I run CGminer from Command prompt it can also run only GTX580 (Tahiti is not on list of GPUs although it is detected when cgminer is started with -n parameter).

On different PCs where I have only 1 VGA (7950) CGMiner via GUIMiner works (although it always show "connection problems" but mining works OK and I didn't noticed Listener messages.

Any tips?

W7 64b/GTX580 MSI TF3 (primary)/7950 MSI TF3 (miner)

On Slush this setup works nice, but Eligius have certain appeal to me as whole, and (sadly) Slush is often target of DDoS.

For everyone who is having some sort of problem with the new version, try installing the previous (2-19-12) version here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wyyi7wtwmsy9yyr/guiminer.zip

I tried the new version and it gave me errors so I went back to the previous version and have had no problems.

I'm having the same issue.  I'm at work, connecting to my mining rig at home with a very dodgy LogMeIn connection, so haven't tried to update poclbm yet.

[horosho]

switching to the older version has no problems so far

[CaptRasta]

Running into the same problem here

I was getting the No JSON object could be decoded message

I went back to a previous version as was suggested here  guiminer (2-19-12)  

also went to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 also suggested here. Getting a different error message now

Hello everyone!

any time i try to run the latest version i get this error

Just wondering if anyone was able to compile the new revision of this program. I can't use "pytoexe" since a flat 2.5 doesn't exist on the python website (its 2.7 or newest 3.x)

I saw a file setup.py and tried to run it and it was looking for that to run it. Its also throwing warnings that code wont work with future version.

Thanks

edit...

SO if you've been trying to compile what seems new , I'm still not getting near it even after installing portable python 2.7 to get all the lib files it mentions on

https://github.com/Kiv/poclbm

I think I'm missing something since it doesn't recognize openCL devices and/or give me the option to select a pool and such other needed items and those are not listed as to what is needed to make it work (be it a shortcut or not to run command line or get the UI to show up).

I've noted it on issues though if someone figure out whats going on post here post here and if you have a solution also put there.

Thanks
