Re: SmartCoin - A simple, robust mining system for Linux. [NOW WITH FAILOVER!]
I started using smartcoin (r451 ex) recently and ran into an interesting bug: instead of failing over to a backup profile, smartcoin terminates with the following message:
07/18/11 14:05:06 ERROR: It appears that one or more of your devices have locked up. This is most likely the result of extreme overclocking!
07/18/11 14:05:06 It is recommended that you reduce your overclocking until you regain stability of the system
07/18/11 14:05:06 Killing Miners....
The thing is that it app fails at the very beginning when trying to connect to BTCguild using phoenix r111 while BTCguild is unaccessible. Perhaps this is because the meter doesn't show up until a connection is established? I'm running r451 experimental. Overclocking is not an issue here as everything is pretty much stock, with just my fans cranked up to keep everything as cool as possible.
Love your the work!

Yes me too.
around 5am EST BTCguild has problem with connectivity
=> failover switched to profile 1 and 2
all GPUs was already working on profile2 ( I have seen accepted work, so No GPU locked)
while profile 1 (BTCguild) was trying to connect and some GPUs had work, some GPUs was down.
then Anti-locking kicked in and killed all miners
before total switch to profile 2
and again 5 times after i start manually smartcoin
I have to set profile 2 without Failover to keep mining.
Overclocking is not a problem because my issues before I'm already on stock clock. using phoenix r108 + smartcoin r451ex
We need lower sensitivity overclock anti-lock.
or even better make anti-lock optional.
