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

[michaelmclees]

Using CCC 11.5 and I got a huge increase.  My 5850 went from 290 to 315.  My 5870 went from 360 to 405.  My 6870 went from 285 to 310.  Don't know if it will be everyone's experience or if this will be stable for me, but this was a great upgrade.

We have had reports of issues with GUIMiner and Bitcoins.lc - this is due to a faulty configuration in the servers.ini file.
It uses the hostname "bitcoin.lc" (NOT Bitcoins.lc) which is owned by someone else (not me.)

The owner of that domain recently removed the A-records from DNS which made GUIMiner stop working.

Please manually change to pool.bitlc.net (port 80, 8080 or 8332) or bitcoins.lc (port 8080 as usual). Both will continue to work in the future, but we're advising users to use pool.bitlc.net due to switch of domain to bitlc.net later on.

So:

Are you using Bitcoins.lc and GUIMiner - set your Pool to "Other" and use Bitcoins.lc:8080 as host or manually edit your servers.ini file.

I've submitted a pull req. to the repo and also contacted the owner of the domain.

Thank's for your nice program.
Please add to serverlist pool "pool.itzod.ru", in next update.

use the gui with phoenix and the math tweak , your 5850s should get 360+ at 920 clock

math tweak:

change

Code:

#define Ma(x, y, z) amd_bytealign((y), (x | z), (z & x))

to

Code:

#define Ma(x, y, z) amd_bytealign( (z^x), (y), (x) )

   
in the phatk: kernel.d file

If you're using GUIMiner, please download the latest servers.ini from https://raw.github.com/Kiv/poclbm/master/servers.ini

Mine only clock to 775.  Anything more is too unstable to really deal with and they're XFX so I can't overvolt.  I like to set it and forget it.

I'm running into an issue where GUIminer can't connect to a certain pool on one machine, but if it is switched to another pool it is golden. I know the pool is valid due to my other machine running off of it at the same time and CGMiner on the affected box being able to use it. Any ideas?

check and make sure your workername and password are correct. you can also try the other pool thingy and input the host and port manually

The settings are fine, it will be actively receiving and processing shares from the pool and then stop after a random amount of time with a "Failure to connect" message in the console. Trying python manually in the CLI is a no-go as well "failure to connect," but CGMiner in the CLI "I got this Bro!" and makes with the mining.

Anybody else having a problem where you just simply can't see the guiminer anymore? I can see it in the task bar, and it's working (submitting shares still), but I can't access the interface AT ALL anymore.

Closing it and reopening it doesn't seem to fix the problem either. Deleting, then uninstalling it doesn't do anything either. arrrgh :/

Windows is convinced it's there, but even when I go to task manager, select it, and select "switch to", nothing gets switched to. WTF?!?!?! (using latest guiminer btw, re-downloaded from OP just today).

Kiv - you know what could cause this? I've donated some btc to you in the past? I could use some support?

Do you have a gfx card that is using a dummy plug or using 11.7-11.8 driver w/ a card that has no monitor or dummy plug hooked up to it?

If so, the app might be popping up on that virtual monitor that you cannot see. Duplicate all monitors through CCC or screen resolution, and guiminer should pop up.

Yeah, I thought it might be on a virtual monitor, so I tried making it  so that everything had to be on 1 screen (and so it would be duplicated across other screens). No dice.

Also, no dummy plugs, 2 cards, 2 monitors - 1 in each.

oboy, I don't know, that is the only logical way I can think of that will make it disappear. Any other apps doing the same thing or just guiminer?

Just GUIminer. .... :/

I guess this guy had the same problem and found a fix. It might help you out.

It is, but I was not the one who came up with a solution

Thanks to everyone reporting on the miner invisible. It looks like if you save while the miner is invisible, it will stay offscreen when you open the program again. Because the miner settings are stored in a separate folder (AppData), re-installing won't clear the settings and the problem persists.

I'll find a permanent fix to this for the next version, in the meantime big thanks to celcoid for the workaround
