I've created my own GUI specifically designed to work with Slush's pool. It's similar in concept to GUIMiner, but with a few enhancements:
- Since it's designed to work with Slush's pool, you log in using your API Key and your list of workers is pulled down automatically
- Because you're logged into your Slush account, your account stats are pulled down every minute allowing you to keep track of your rewards in the program
- Exchange market information is pulled from Bitcoincharts.com, allowing you to pick your desired currency and market and have your reward balances shown in that currency as well
- More logging output
- Support for proxy servers
- Options like frames, sleep, and vector are exposed and explained better
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is required, along with Windows XP or newer. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported, and this program uses a Stratum-compatible POCLBM backend. This program is geared especially toward new Bitcoin miners, and since it's designed for Slush's pool it doesn't support solo mining or other pools. I'll consider adding support for other pools and solo mining in the future. I knocked this program together pretty quick so I'm sure there's probably bugs in it, but if anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, I'd appreciate it!
