    i am pretty sure the original ones that shipped do not have the current optimizations that lead to 3-4% increase.
    if i recall correctly i added them by hand as i read about them in threads. it was phatk 2.2 that was impressive and
    an easy copy and paste to the kernel folder.

    Question, is there a addon or remore program to control my miners from a different site then the computers they are on? Using GUI miner of course.

    The simplest thing I've found for remote control of mining rigs is log me in free just sign in using a browser anywhere and make your changes as if you were at the desk

    Teamviewer works great as well and it's free.

    tightvnc seems to work better with windows 7. i think i tried a diff vnc program and it was just not
    developed as much as the others now days. they all work on xp though.

    Since they're all free it's just a choice of who has the features you want in the end

    You might want to be careful with some versions of VNC, and windows Remote Desktop for that matter.  Some versions of them unload video drivers when you connect which totally fubars things if you're trying to configure your miner/overclocking tool through the remote connection.

    Can't vouch for vcn but not an issue with log me in. perhaps there should be a list of all verified remote access programs?

    tightvnc handles this nicely. good catch on that. i forgot to mention it.

    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-20110823.exe (self-extracting archive)

    Changes:

    - Update poclbm (OpenCL miner) to the latest version. This changes the format of a backup pool. In the "extra flags" you just enter your backup (or backups) like this: Kiv.GPU:mypass@api2.bitcoin.cz:8332
    - Update Phoenix to the latest version. See their thread for details on changes.
    - Remove ufasoft miner from the GUIMiner bundle. It's still supported, but you'll have to download it separately. I apologize for the inconvenience to ufasoft miner users, but I decided to do this since only a few percent of users were using ufasoft and due to recurring false positive issues from antivirus programs.
    - Added "duplicate miner" option when right clicking on a miner tab. This is to make it easier to clone miners to multiple GPUs.
    - Limited maximum scrollback in the console window to 5000 lines. On machines with low RAM, this will prevent running out of memory after a long period of continuous operation.
    - Add more pools to the server list, though balance update doesn't work for all of them. I'm looking at ways to handle the large number of pools that are popping up better.
    - Fix Linux bug where the window could not be restored after minimizing.
    GUIMiner - get started easily mining Bitcoins on your GPU or CPU

    Maybe it's just me, but I've updated 2 machines with the new client and it appears to be working fine using the OpenCL miner, but I don't see the Stale/Accepted numbers updating on the summary page and they're all just sitting at 0.

    edit: Tried machine 3 with the same result.  Pretty sure actual mining is working fine though b/c my pool is getting shares from those workers.

    One other thing I noticed is I'm no longer seeing longpoll messages in the console log.  Is there a new verbose mode/switch that needs to be set in the flags?

    Thanks for all the hard work on this Kiv!

    I also can't see the Stale and Accepted numbers but.....


    On another note,I would also like to clearly state this gave me a good performance increase on both my Radeon 6950 and Radeon 5770 by 2 Mh a sec. for each.I highly recommend this download.I had more than .5 btc earlier on but don't have it anymore but will still send something later when I've mined enough as still good work.

    Yeah, I've seen some minor speed increases as well.  Not a lot, but still a nice:

    • 6950: ~ 2 MH/s
    • 5830: ~ 2-4 MH/s
    • 5770: ~ 2-3 MH/s

    Only thing I've noticed was a 2-4 mhash/s drop, and refresh balance button was gone along with slush's pool set to Other.

    Went back to v2001-07-01.

    Is there a way to set up GUIMiner to restart crashed/frozen miners in the case of unstable overclocks? I'm trying to max out my system, and it really frustrated me to set an OC, go to work, and come back 8 hours later to learned the miner froze 10 minutes into mining because the display driver had to reset and recover.

    Not really unless you set up a task to kill and restart GUIminer every 30 minutes to an hour so you don't lose that much mining time.  It's probably better to not set clocks to unknown levels unless you can let it run and watch it for a few hours.  Usually if you go too high it'll crash right away or within an hour or so.

    Also, just a thought.  Totally overclocking your cards to the extremes for a few extra MH isn't really worth it in the long run.  Say you can squeeze another 20 MH out of it, that equates to a whopping .32 BTC month at the current difficulty.  While it may seem good, if you have to replace the card after 4-6 months, is it really worth the 1-2 extra BTC?


    Not to mention an overclock that nets you an extra 20mhz is going to make the card use a lot more power, so your MH per Watt goes down.

    I actually underclock my cards to get the sweet spot between power consumption and hash rate.
