Sorry, this is a bug that snuck in. There'll be a new version this weekend with it fixed. @Kiv,
When you choose "other" Server where can you manually enter the data (server address and port)?
I have same problem, I am trying to switch a miner to BTC pool from solo. Thanks Kiv!!!

Hello Kiv, as I expected, there are already people who don't know 7z and cannot handle it. Is the exe installer coming soon?

I just started using the GUI miner, and I'm only getting 2% efficiency. Running the command line poclbm-mod I was getting between 50 and 90% efficiency. I have a 9600 GSO, currently running no flags and averaging 21Mhash/s. Any ideas why my efficiency is so low or what I can do to fix it? I can go back to the old command line miner if I have to, but I'm a GUI kind of person.

Your "efficiency" measure is your hashrate. Nothing more. If your pool admin doesn't like the traffic which you generate to the server, choose another pool.

Hello Kiv, as I expected, there are already people who don't know 7z and cannot handle it. Is the exe installer coming soon? Kiv why don't you at least use sfx archive on 7z? It creates a single exe & clicking it extracts to any folder wanted. simple way. You can do it for now temporarily , then you can create installer as slush says.

That guy is 10 and should not be installing software on his father's computer without permission - I'm not sure you can say that he is a good example But, there is an exe installer further up in the post created by theGECK. I will try the SFX mode today too suggested by dishwara. Hello Kiv, as I expected, there are already people who don't know 7z and cannot handle it. Is the exe installer coming soon?

Kiv - I kinda agree with you. If you don't know .7z then maybe BTC isn't for you...
Looking forward to the fix to add other pools...

I've been coding since I was 11, but I don't think it's fair to rag on people who don't know what 7z is or don't even understand what compression means. We should be encouraging everyone to use bitcoin and mine bitcoins even if they are "n00bz". Ideally, the gui miner can be merged with the official client. Ideally the official client will support encrypted wallets out of the box. Ideally anyone can download an exe and be up and running in minutes. Ideally. Until then let's try to do everything we can to help new users out. Just saying. When you got teased in school for playing video games, or programming or playing magic the gathering it was bullying, but now we find it funny to make fun of people online. We should be better nerds. But seriously kid, has your dad given you permission to use his computer?

I know its a silly question, but has anyone gone back to the poclbm-gui-20110306 version ?
The latest version had some sort of bug with the speed where a constant Mhash/s will spike up, i.e from a 350 Mhash/s to let say 500 Mhash/s.
As a result I revert back to the 306 version.
I would like to ask if the 306 is okay for solo mining when compared to the latest 311 ?
Or does the 311 have updates that are superior in terms of solo mining?
Cheer!

A new version of the miner is available; I've updated the download link on the first post, or you can get it here: poclbm-gui-20110320.exe (self-extracting archive)Changes since the last version: - Use self-extracting archive so 7-zip is not required. - Add number of shares mined per hour to summary panel. Shares are displayed as "100 (50)" meaning 100 shares total, 50 in the last hour. - Add option to temporarily pause all running miners from the tray icon's context menu. All paused miners can later be resumed by unchecking the same menu item. - Support for securely checking pool balance using a private token. The first time you try to check your balance, you'll be redirected to the pool website where you can get a special token. With this token you can check your balance from within the GUI. This method avoids storing the actual account username/password on your local computer. Currently slush's pool and BTCMine support this method, others probably will soon. - Updated to latest poclbm code. - Fix bug in the summary panel where the hash rate would remain even after all miners were stopped. - Fix bug where old config files containing unrecognized mining servers would cause an exception on startup. Thanks to dishwara for reporting this. - Fix bug where the hostname and port could not be entered for "Other" miners. Thanks to JWU42 for reporting this.

Small bug/glitch. seems you right clicked all the FILES & created sfx archive, extracting exe, extracts individual files in desktop, mess. Copy files in a folder then convert that folder to SFX. Those who got files in desktop, can sort files by date modified & put in a new folder.

Well, I deleted the file from GitHub and uploaded it again under the same filename, and it seems to be working now. I didn't do anything differently so I'm quite puzzled as to what happened. Anyone have any ideas? poclbm-gui-20110321.exe (self-extracting archive)
