Hello Bitcoin Forum.
Ive recently ( as in today ) created a tiny GUI tool for the
poclbm bitcoin miner. So far it is an
ALPHA version.
What exactly do i have for you? I'd like to explain it to you with some pictures.
-------------------------------------------------------
https://i.imgur.com/XIXRv.jpgThis is the program itself, poclbm and 2 of the
configuration files i'll explain in the next picture. Poclbm, the GUI app and the configuration files have to be in the same folder.
https://i.imgur.com/jBkZJ.jpgThis is what you see, when you start the program. You can see those recently mentioned "configuration files", lets call them "
profiles".
These files contain the following:
-d 0 -f 60 -w 256 USERNAME:PASS@pit.deepbit.net:8332
Looks familiar right? Indeed. Its
the command line you'd normally use to start poclbm.
So
before you start your gGUI you should
create or edit one of these "
profiles".
The
criteria for a profile are:
-the filename begins with gGUIparams
after the gGUIparams_XXX
you can define a name for it. for example like on the picture above.
-it ends with the extension ".ini"
-it contains 1 line with valid poclbm parameters like the above example.

The miner starts, the output is redirected to the GUI. Youre pretty much done.
You've an counter for
accepted and
rejected shares, you can see what pool you are currently mining for. Also, you can minimize the program to the tray.
This is how it looks like:

accepted shares counter - the number - a new window pops up:

list of the shares youve found. Theres also a button - "
Save Statistics" - which will give you the possiblity to save some statistics. These
statistics look like this:

Okay guys. Thats pretty much it. I just wanted to leave this here in case someone could maybe make use of a
very simple GUI for poclbm.

The program requires .Net Framework 2.0. Should be installed on the most computers of todays time anyway.
And of course poclbm.
If you like the program i'd really appreciate a little donation. Im pretty new to the Bitcoin stuff ( like 2-3 weeks into it now ) and i'm mining with my 48MH/s machine -_-. Whatever. I dont force you to donate, it would just make me smile!
