That's rather strange - you don't need Python installed to run the miner because the interpreter is already bundled with the exe (using the py2exe module).

There's currently no way to suppress the warning, but that's something I could easily add in the next release.

Hmm... are you trying to mine solo or in a pool? If solo, your Bitcoin client might not be configured properly. If a pool, you might have the wrong username or password.

Also, try opening the Console tab and then starting the miner to see if any interesting messages appear.

Hey subin, I'm a noob here but thought I'd try to help.  I see that you have norton.  Can you see if norton is blocking it?  either add an exception or disable autoprotect for a minute and try opening it.  They implemented a new feature at the end of april that uses a reputation based system and automatically blocks programs with low reputation.


Could somebody help a noob out?  I just started running this.  I have a 2gb 4870 and just rebooted because of temps.  They were around 125c or more before the reboot happened.  Is there a flag to use to limit percentage of gpu being used?  Thanks.

Hello, i have created an account on btcmine.com, can you tell me the right way to set my account in guiminer?
Thank you.

Hello guys!  
I am new and I need your help..
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4550. When I start the guiMinet, the cpu works well but the card (device name in the guiminer's list: [1[Cedar) is stuck at "Starting" and "Amd accelerated parallel processing".
Do you have any Idea of what's happening??

Edit: I use slush's pool.
Edit 2: solved by adding --platform 0

no NAT/firewall/router on you PC/outside it[including you ISP] ?
ie can you check from internet thats this port REALLY open ?

did you sure thats OpenCL REALLY installed ? check you "Catalyst install manager" uninstallation options in "Custom" mode without actually uninstall anything[something with "OpenCL" or "SDK" in list ?]

A new version of the miner is available; I've updated the download link on the first post, or you can get it here:

    guiminer-20110521.exe (self-extracting archive)

Remember, if you're making money with this miner you should send me even 0.1 Bitcoin. The previous release got over 12,000 downloads and my total donations over that period were under 9 BTC, so I know you guys can do better

Changes:

- Add BTC Guild mining pool to the list of presets.
- Add -s flag to poclbm that can reduce temperatures by forcing the GPU to sleep. Thanks to llanwj for coding this.
- Add Spanish language support. Thanks to BitcoinsWallet for contributing this.
- Add checkbox to disable warning about OpenCL not being installed.
- Reset count of shares accepted/stale on change of server.
- If balance API token is rejected by the server, prompt user to enter a new token.
- Fix issue where the About dialog would be cut off.
- Console logs now include a timestamp on all messages.

Hey Kiv

I'm getting an error when I try and launch the GUIminer
and it informs me to view the guiminer.exe.log

and this is what is in the log:

I just changed my hardware from a 460GTX to a 6950, I've already updated/uninstalled the nvidia/ATI drivers, installed ATI 11.5 and SDK 2.4
I've resetted and uninstalled/installed the drivers many times and have yet to get this error fixed....
I can load up the non-gui style to mine but not your version after the hardware changed, the guiminer worked fine with the 460gtx

Thanks in advanced
