Sorry, I can't help everybody... imposible

For everybody that's having issues with OpenCL v0.2 miner, please read:

- If you're using NVIDIA, I don't know if it works properly, I haven't tested it
- If when executing PascalCoinMiner.exe a raise exception is shown... perhaps there is an error with your OpenCL drivers, check that you have a valid version. If version is valid, then sorry... it doesn't work
- If you want to know if your miner is working properly (and finding valids "nonce" for generate a block) , read this trick and try it (posted days ago)

A small trick for PascalCoinMiner (OpenCL miner v0.2)

You can add -t param (this param is not documented, I used it for testing purposes)

What does param -t do:
When Wallet sends a job to the miner, "target" is a 32 bits value with left-byte indicating how many "0" bits on the left must have the PoW

Example: target=2DD63426 -> Left byte 2D is equal to 45 in decimal, so, first 45 bits of PoW must be "0"

When you add -t param you can subtract the indicated left bits, for example, a "-t 10" then miner will find 45-10=35 left "0" bits of PoW
With this example, your miner will submit a work to your wallet more quickly, but of course, wallet will say that "pow is lower than target" because is an invalid PoW

It will help you to visually see if your miner is working properly

Try it.
Code:
PascalCoinMiner.exe -p 0 -d 1 -s -n Test -t 10
