Bitcoin miners

[wtcr_landerson]

What newbies and other adventurers using for mining in here?

I've played with just Guiminer and BAMT myself. What else is out there?

I like BAMT best as you can modify the core, memory and fan speeds by making a change in a config file.
Nothing t0o fancy till you play around with other switches/features.

That is my thought on it.

Big fan of the Java based Bitminter, only caveat is, only pool members get to use it. www.bitminter.com

CGMINER.

I can't recommend it highly enough. It's easy, efficient and under constant development. It also does engine, memory and fan speed management, and a wealth of other useful settings.

Best of all, the dev is active on this board, at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

I pretty much stick with guiminer, its a great program

I started on Guiminer when I was first getting going. I had good hash rates. But I recently switched from PPS pool mining to P2Pool mining (still PPS PPLNS, but decentralized). Since then I've been using cgminer which gets me slightly less mhash, and I started poclbm tonight which adds 20 on top of cgminer. I just need to make sure my shares are submitted.

Correction. p2pool is PPLNS not PPS and not be confused with SMPPS or ESMPPS.

Sorry about that. Fixed it in my post so people are not confused.

I've been using GUIMiner on my 4x5850 rig because its so easy to use.  On my 2x7970 rig, I've been using Diablo miner because GUIMiner doesn't support the 7900 series yet.

Guiminer for me. I cant really be bothered with anything else.
