Some updates for the software today:

• The status bar (the only thing visible in performance mode) now has a start/stop button and shows some information about proofs of work. Much requested features - sorry it took so long!
• Upgraded to latest version of Steel Series. The power meter tick marks looked weird for some CPU models in the old version - this looks better now.
• Better error handling when reading settings (currently names+password to log in). Some users got a blank login window with nowhere to enter name and password. I'm not sure what causes this, but at least now the login window should be usable. Please let me know if your saved name+pass disappears and/or you get error messages.
• Bug fix: when stopping a device, it would burn through a bunch of work units (you could see the "work units started on" counting up). This has been fixed.

You will get the new version the next time you restart the miner.


I can't reproduce this. Could you try starting it from the command line with the exact same environment you run other miners, and as the same user? To start the miner use this command: javaws http://bitminter.com/client/bitminter.jnlp
