@ Mr.Spread
How do you plan to handle the intensity and other single/multi gpu configs and settings ?

I have some tips if you're willing to include a Win7 mining tweaks/ guide. eg. How to's on, disabling media player/ internet browser hardware acceleration, driver updates, ect.

The best way to achive a high level of decentralization would be to win over the single gpu/cpu users/newbies by making their involvement as seamless and as hassle free as possible. If successful, the swarm will leave the privkey whales with little to no WUs to feed on.

Poor whale...  Wink
Right now it is only about removing the necessity to create and edit spreadcoin.conf, I didn't yet thought about adding GPU mining to GUI.
You would probably be able to set mining parameters and start mining from GUI, instead of creating new console window it will output all info back to GUI. For this we'll need some good default parameters, mining guide is also appreciated. Mining guide is useful anyway, regardless of the presence of the GUI mining.

lol.. I thought you were talking about gpu mining. ---^^^
Yes, I was talking about GPU mining, we might have misunderstood each other. GPU mining will not require editing spreadcoin.conf, but it is still not added to gui (yet), so intensity and other settings are still miner's responsibility. I got the impression that you were talking about how these parameters will be handled from GUI.

Yes I was.. Smiley

Has anyone figured out what the best single gpu/ functional desktop settings are ?

My newest (and verrry lucky Grin ), stock 7870, config was running fine until I tried raising the intensity higher than 17. eg. -I 18 made little difference, -I 19 crashed sgminer and the Catalyst 14.9 drivers.

Code:
"intensity" : "17",
"xintensity" : "0",
"rawintensity" : "0",
"worksize" : "64",
"kernel" : "spreadcoin",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "4096", (TIP: lowering the TC from 8192 made raising the intensity, from 15 to 17 possible.)
"shaders" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "4",

It varies from card to card but I found that xintensity = 220 works really nicely on a 290x. Gives you a lot more room to fine tune, more notes here:

Is that 290x running the main display with Windohs Aero enabled ?

Tyvm for the info. Smiley
