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

Maybe it is a false alarm? Or not...?

As I stated above in my analysis, the "Application.BitCoinMiner.G" and "Riskware.RiskTool.Win32.BitCoinMiner!IK" type warnings are being set off by the ufasoft miner binary included with this, which is not included in the newest guiminer. The ufasoft.exe is identical to that which was included in guiminer 6-14-2011. Ufasoft was also used by some botnet ops, so antivirus flagging it at least alerts the user if they didn't authorize mining software install.

Hi everyone, long time no see. I've released an update that includes the poclbm code fix:

guiminer-20120219.exe (self-extracting archive)

There are also a few updates to translations, pools, etc from contributors on GitHub. See the commit history there for details, but thanks to everyone who submitted pull requests even though it took a long time to get it into the release

[allinvain]

I think you may have forgotten to properly name the file because the download link points to guiminer-20110823.exe not guiminer-20120219.exe .

Edit: Actually I see now that you just linked to the wrong one. Here is the correct link:

https://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20120219.exe

The link downloads guiminer-20110823.exe..................?

EDIT:Thanks allinvain for correct link.

[Kiv]

Thanks, fixed the link.

Thanks Kiv!

[bradminer]

It works great. Thanks Kiv... jsut sent a donation to you for your great work.

[ssateneth]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! KIV IS BAAAAAAAAAAACK.

Kiv, will you support new phoenix 2 beta please?

[malevolent]

Thanks, fixed the link.

Welcome back.
Can you tell if the newest version properly counts shares and stales?

[Haku]

Thanks Kiv!

[rTech]

Yeah keep up good work Kiv. Donating also something small.

[disclaimer201]

I have just donated 0.5 BTC. I am really thankful, too!

I'd still love to know what was the problem with guiminer out of a sudden so none of the pools would accept shares anymore, and why so only recently? It worked all of 2011.

Best of all with SDK2.6 the CPU bug is gone, my shares are accepted again, my cpu isn't grilled all of the time. Now we just need to get back full performance (while <5% CPU usage) and I couldn't be happier.

I am specially thankful b/c I never really figured out CGMiner, call me what you will, and once I tried I got a worse performance than with gui. Also, since I am already running on a windows machine, I don't see why running useful programs in a <window> is something to look down on, btw.

Cheers!

Ok, got the new GUIMiner installed, with both good and bad results...

The good, my shares on BTC Guild are being accepted again...

The bad, when solo mining when BTCG is down, I'm only getting ~400khash/s when I typically get the same 85-90Mhash/s per card for both BTCG mining and solo mining, with the old version.

Did something get changed with solo mining, where it is ignoring my card choice, and is CPU mining instead?

It would certainly explain why my BTCG miners on core #3 are processor friendly, while my Solo miners on core #4, are perpetually at 100% still...

There are always lots of requests in this thread but not a lot of people following up with donations to encourage him to continue; myself included -- until today. Just flipped a donation for fixing the poclbm issue, which is useful beyond words for those of us who mine without the slightest ability to code.

Thanks for the service Kiv and if you choose to continue updating this program I will continue to send donations.

I had the same problem. If I uncheck one of cores from cpu affinity on solo mining  hashrate drops about 30% with -f 1 and goes into khashes/second with -f 60.
And poclbm.exe eats up about 60-70% of the CPU either way.

Well, before I updated, all 4 miners would eat up 100% cpu full time, but I also was using an older OpenCL driver with my vid card too... but each miner would use the full ~80Mhash/s of each card when tested individually, so they were all set to 1 core and left that way.

Now tho, since updating GUIMiner, and updating my ATI/OpenCL drivers, now they're doing what they're doing now, and it just seems so odd why my BTCGuild miners would behave, while my solo miners won't.

You'd think they would be doing the same thing, but no... >shrugs<

Thanks for guiminer I have used it for most of my mining life
Could I ask that http://ozco.in be added to to your drop down pool list please

will drop a donation in the box on the way out
Thanks again

^^ any chance?
If this miner is still being supported of course

Thanks Kiv for your work on GUIminer. Sent you a lil something this morning.

[Graet]

Seems a lot of people dont think guiminer works on Ozcoin, it does, you just need to use the dropdown and enter the pool details in the "other" section of guiminer.
