Im using poclbm. Thinking about trying something else. Any suggestions?

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

There's lots of them. Diablo D3's miner, cgminer et cetera.

cgminer - everything is automated Smiley

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

cgminer.  no reason to use anything else.

IF you want you can use cgminer w/ the poclbm kernel (or any other kernel) by using -k command line argument or "kernel" config file parameter.

If you're using a 79xx card, I recommend DiabloMiner.  I get roughly 3% increase over CGMiner.

I prefer CGMINER, too ... it's written in plain C and that makes it small and fast. Tried DiabloMiner, but I really dislike the fact it needs a Java runtime (a great plus is it's advanced kernel). Another miner, which I think need's to be mentioned is Phoenix, that's one I'm fine with, too.

By the way, did anyone try CGMINER on a 79XX with -k diakgcn -v 2 -w 256? I would like to know how far I'm behind or if there are cases, where my kernel is competitive.

Cgminer, with this version of Anubis to monitor the entire farm. Thread for Anubis here. Someone else took over Anubis and made their own git (hence the first link). It is incredibly awesome for managing several machines at once.

Dia,

I am getting ~671 Mh/s with your kernel vs. ~688 Mh/s with Diablo's.

 Phoenix, works best for me. CGMiner is a bad choice, really bad choice, and I explain why. My Radeon 6870's mem clocks set to 300 mhz, and CGMiner .... just guess what its doing with clocks when I run it. Plus, it's phat kernel is less effective than phatk2. When these MAJOR issues will be fixed, yep, it will be the best, but so far - nope, thanks.

cgminer doesn't change any GPU setting unless you tell it to. 

Kinda like saying my car sucks because it keeps slowing down when I engage the parking break. Smiley

The thing is that I want it to change and control my gpu in case of overheating, to let it shut the gpu down.

I'm no professional, but it seems you forgot which port to use.

It should be cgminer -0 http://deepbit.net:8332 -u XXX -p XXX

I need some help guys. When i click the cgminer exe and enter my url user and password it starts mining. When i click on the settings.bat file i created the box pops up and then disappears. I did add :port8332 to the url. I hear entering your info every time is the hard way and using settings.bat file is the old way. So im kinda wondering, which is the new easy way?
